Earlier today, the WSJ reported that Samsung is looking at an internal reorganization of its management because of its poor performance. The same report also suggests that Samsung sold 40% lesser units of the Galaxy S5 than expected. To make matters worse, the company product about 20% more units of the devices based on the survey data provided by the carriers. This led to millions of units of the Galaxy S5 piling up in Samsung’s warehouse, which led the company to increase its marketing budget to bolster the sales of the device....

With only a couple of days to go for the Samsung Unpacked event, we did expect more leaks. The Galaxy S21 has already been leaked extensively.

As inconvenient as shipping delays are, that’s nothing compared to the pain scammers are inflicting on people. By masquerading as FedEx, UPS and other shipping companies, these crooks are easily tricking their victims into handing over personal data. Here’s how to stay safe. Expedited fraud Deliveries may be delayed, but scammers are coming out of the woodwork right on cue — preying upon impatient buyers with fake shipping alerts that require “verification” for delivery....

In recent years, scientists have been researching methods to try to find out human thoughts through brain-computer interfaces, and have made remarkable advances in recording and interpreting brain waves in a first approximation to learn certain patterns that allow reading the mind. However, apart from all these the neural networks continue to prove their usefulness in our day to day life, and what technology companies have called artificial intelligence continues to amaze us with their applications in everyday life....

What Does Security Awareness Entail for Customer Service Representatives? Below, we review in detail what security awareness must mean for your company’s customer service representatives. Suffice it to say, though, these employees represent a very specific type of target for criminals. We’re going to cover why, in a moment, but it’s worth pointing out that these employees tend to be at the bottom rung of the organizational infrastructure. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course....

Samsung today unveiled the Galaxy S10 series — its flagship smartphone lineup for 2019. The lineup comprises of three different phones, the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and the Galaxy S10+.

They all feature an Infinity-O punch-hole display at the front, an aluminum chassis, and a glass panel at the rear. The dynamic AMOLED panels on the three Galaxy S10 variants can reach brightness levels of 1,200 nits....

Buying a tablet is relatively straightforward, at least in my mind. If you have a lot of money, you buy an iPad. If you don’t, you buy the Nexus 7. But what if you have a lot of money and for some reason can’t stand iOS? Samsung’s got something for you called the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition. As the name implies, it’s a 10.1 inch device, and it’s got the best specs money can buy: 2560 x 1600 pixel LCD, eight core processor, 3 GB of RAM, and a stylus....

Teasing new features for the Galaxy Note 4 ahead of its public launch, or hints at a round Gear smartwatch, aren’t enough for the company, it seems, as they’ve got their sights set on expanding another lineup as well. According to a report published by SamMobile, the recently launched Galaxy Alpha won’t be the only device with a Galaxy or “A” in the title. The new report claims that there will be at least three new devices added to the mix, all with the “Galaxy A” brand tied to them....

The W2019 is a high-end smartphone by all means. For starters, both displays are Samsung’s signature Super AMOLED panels which stretch 4.2-inches diagonally and carry a Full HD resolution and have the conventional 16:9 aspect ratio. The premium design will be available in two different paintjobs to choose from – Gold Extreme Edition and Platinum Golden Collector’s Edition.

Last month, the Korean media revealed that Samsung had managed to ship nearly 4.5 million units of the Galaxy Note 4 in South Korea in the first month of its launch. This was slightly lower than what the Galaxy Note 3 managed in its first month, though the former’s initial launch was marred by build quality issues. Now, according to Samsung’s Senior Vice President, Kum Hyun-jon, the Galaxy Note 4 is doing great in North America and Western Europe and is outstripping the sales of its predecessor — the Galaxy Note 3....

Ahead of its official unveiling in early August, Samsung is going to start the mass production of the Galaxy Note 7 from next month.

The company will be producing 2.5 million phones in July and August each for a total of 5 million units. The company expects the Galaxy Note 7 to perform better than its predecessor sales wise....

In Summary The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the most powerful – and most expensive – of the flagship Galaxy S22 series. The phone made news for incorporating the S Pen stylus (seen on the Note series) in its frame, but it also came with formidable hardware, including a powerful processor, a trademark brilliant display, and a very versatile camera lineup. A few months after its release, the Galaxy S22 Ultra remains the best Android phone money can buy....

Samsung has started rolling out the Android 6.0 update for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge in its home country, a little over a month after the company launched a Marshmallow beta test for its first metal and glass flagships. The update is currently going out to the S6 and S6 edge on SK Telecom, though other major South Korean carriers shouldn’t be far behind with the rollout. There are reports of the update also making its way to devices in Germany via Samsung’s Smart Switch software for desktop; it should also go live in the UK sooner or later, given it was the only market where the beta test was launched other than South Korea....

The Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are the Korean company’s flagship handset for 2018. They pack in iterative upgrades over their predecessor, though Samsung has paid some serious attention to the camera this time around. Like previous flagship Galaxy devices, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ also feature an IP68 certification which makes them dust and water-resistant. But before you go around dunking the Galaxy S9 into water or any kind of liquid thinking its IP68 certification makes it waterproof, there are a few things you need to know....

The company further mentioned that it will be selling 400,000 phones, all of which utilize components extracted from defective unused Note7 handsets. Samsung also says that it’s put the Galaxy Note Fan Edition’s battery through an 8-point safety check to prevent it from overheating and well, exploding, unlike the previous version....

According to the Korean website ETNews, Samsung is having issues producing camera modules with optical image stabilization in sufficient quantities. That’s going to make them look bad next year when everyone else has optical image stabilization while Samsung does not. So what’s the solution? More megapixels. You and I both know that having a camera with a higher megapixel count doesn’t translate into better photos, but most people don’t, which is why you can expect to see Samsung smartphones coming out in the second half of 2014 with this new 20 megapixel sensor that’s currently in development....
