What started as a promising Android 16 update has turned into a stop, start, stop pattern across multiple Galaxy generations.

Samsung is quiet on the reasons, but a wave of battery drain...

If you're keeping an eye on the smartphone landscape, there's a deal brewing that deserves your attention. Boost Mobile is positioning itself to offer the upcoming Galaxy S26 for free, and yes, you read that right. Here's the kicker: Samsung hasn't even officially announced the Galaxy S26 yet. That uncertainty is exactly why this window is interesting for people who like to move early.

Samsung's mobile browser is jumping to bigger screens, and it is bringing some compelling features along for the ride. The company is rolling out a comprehensive desktop version that blends cross-device functionality with artificial intelligence capabilities (The Verge).

The rumored Galaxy S26 Pro may replace the standard Galaxy S26, according to current leaks.

Samsung's financial powerhouse moment has arrived, and it's being driven by an unexpected duo reshaping the foldable landscape. When a tech giant posts numbers that make analysts do double-takes, there is usually a sharp strategic shift behind the scenes, and Samsung's third-quarter results fit that bill.

Picture this: you are trying to perfect a vacation photo, and you bounce between Samsung's Object Eraser to remove that random photobomber, then Generative Edit to clean up the background. Sound familiar? Samsung has been listening to those collective sighs of frustration, and they are finally doing something about it.

Samsung's journey with One UI 8 has been a rollercoaster, and we can finally see the end of the ride. After a pause to sort things out, Samsung has resumed the One UI 8 rollout for both the Galaxy S23 and S24 series, now with beefed-up security that makes the wait feel worth it.

Samsung's One UI 8 rollout stumbled, forcing a pause, but the Android 16-based update is now back on Galaxy S23 and S24 phones. After hitting the brakes earlier this month (Android Authority), Samsung has restarted in South Korea and says more regions are next. This is not just another patch cycle, it is a reset of trust and process, especially after the messy One UI 7 launch that knocked confidence in the company's update pipeline.

You've probably heard about ultra-thin smartphones becoming the next big thing in mobile tech, but Samsung's latest strategic reversal shows how tricky that niche really is.

Not a minor hiccup; a loud warning about what happens when engineering flair drifts away from what buyers actually want.

Samsung is gearing up to make waves in the foldable smartphone arena, and the latest leaks surrounding its upcoming trifold device are fascinating.

Early evidence from leaked One UI 8.5 builds shows Samsung is already deep into Galaxy Buds 4 work, a quicker cadence that matches heating competition from Apple and other premium players.

Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge launched with significant fanfare earlier this year, but the ultra-thin flagship hasn't exactly set the world on fire. With sluggish sales of just 650,000 units so far (reported from leaked sales reports) and production cuts already underway, Samsung faces a critical decision for its 2026 lineup. The latest rumors suggest the company might be considering a surprising move, bringing back the Galaxy S26 Plus alongside the Edge variant, potentially reshuffling its entire...

With Samsung already offering official screen protectors and the tablet supporting advanced features like the redesigned S Pen with increased tilt...

Samsung's latest Color E-Paper display is the kind of gadget that gets passed around group chats. Samsung launched the 32-inch Color E-Paper, EM32DX, globally in June 2025, and the pitch is simple.

Samsung says the built-in 4,600mAh battery that can last up to 200 days on a single charge if content is updated once per day, and it is no wonder people are asking when this shows up in phones.

The leaked build shows Samsung is developing tech that limits screen visibility from side angles to protect your privacy in crowded public places. One UI 8.5 is expected to be the...

Samsung's audio roadmap just got a lot more interesting. After years of covering the company's ecosystem strategy, I can tell you this round of moves feels bigger than routine tweaks. The big news?

Samsung announced both models on September 4, 2025, and they're already hitting shelves. The Tab S11 costs $799 while the Tab S11 Ultra is priced at $1,199. But price is only half the story. The rest is how you plan to use it.

Samsung's camera innovation has always been impressive. Plot twist, though, Samsung Electro-Mechanics is developing a telephoto module with continuous optical zoom, yet Samsung is pitching the tech to Chinese brands like Xiaomi, which are usually quicker to adopt experimental features. And get this, Samsung has filed some patents in 2024–2025, so the work has been in motion for a while. If Samsung is building the future of zoom, why aren't Galaxy phones getting first dibs?

Samsung's SmartThings ecosystem is about to get a major upgrade that could change how we think about connected living. The company is rolling out its new "Home to Car" feature, which puts vehicle controls directly into the SmartThings app. This is not just another tech gimmick, it is Samsung tying the connected car into the connected home, so your morning routine can literally start your car while you are still getting dressed.
