Rewards programs are not new by any means, but when it comes to the mobile payments market, it’s still something that hasn’t found its footing. That’s changing, at least in Samsung’s camp, with the unveiling of Samsung Rewards. As many other programs work, with Samsung Rewards, Samsung Pay users will earn points with every single transaction they make with the mobile payment option. Those points can then be used to buy other Samsung products, or gift cards to popular retailers, once they bank enough....

You should never buy a device, specifically a device running Android, and expect software updates. Some companies are obviously better at updating their hardware than others, but for the most part, unless you own a Nexus, you’re always going to be “behind” when it comes to the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system. This is why you will always hear a journalist judge a device based on how it performs out of the box, not on how it might run six months down the line....

Samsung has predicted yet another profit decline for the second quarter of 2015 after it underestimated demand of the new Galaxy S6 edge. The South Korean company expects an operating profit of KRW 6 trillion, which is a 4% decline over the same period last year. Samsung expects overall sales of KRW 47.1 trillion for the three-month period. The drop is said to be a result of weak smartphones sales, according to sources familiar with the matter, but Samsung is yet to confirm how its various divisions performed individually....

That’s pretty easy to do when your caller ID shows a phone number you don’t know. It’s a lot tougher to do when your caller ID appears to be from a familiar number or company. Unfortunately, if it’s a scammer on the other end, you may not know it. They can pretend to be your flood insurance company, for instance. If you live in states like Texas and Florida that were whacked by hurricanes the past few months, you might divulge information like your name, address and credit card numbers to anyone who appears to be helping....

Smartphones with fingerprint readers embedded into the display are no longer a fictional endeavor, as Vivo has already shown off one of its own smartphones with the technology in place. As such, it is likely that we will see even more smartphones following suit, especially as bezels get reduced and the idea of putting the fingerprint reader on the back isn’t a consideration for some companies. Samsung is one of the manufacturers that has been rumored to include the technology in its flagship smartphones, but has also seen recent rumors suggesting the company has given up on the idea....

The lukewarm response to the Galaxy S9 has forced Samsung to consider launching the Galaxy Note 9 earlier than usual. The news reports are basing this information on the fact that Samsung will start producing OLED panels for use in the Galaxy Note 9 from April itself — two months earlier than the usual timeframe. The earlier than usual production of OLED panels means that Samsung could end up unveiling the Galaxy Note 9 in July or August....

After debuting a dual-camera setup with the Galaxy S9+ this year, Samsung is reportedly considering switching to a triple-camera setup with the Galaxy S10 next year. Additionally, the company is seemingly looking to follow Apple once again and launch three different variants of its flagship handset next year. The rumor originating from Korea claims that Samsung is testing three Galaxy S10 models. Dubbed internally as “Beyond”, there’s a Beyond 0 with a basic 5....

Beginning with the Galaxy S2, Samsung started releasing two variants of its flagship handsets — one powered by a Qualcomm processor and the other one by its own Exynos processor. However, during the Galaxy S5 unveiling, the company did not mention anything about an Exynos-powered model, which was pretty surprising. This led many to believe that Samsung might not launch an Exynos powered S5 this year after the colossal failure that last year’s Exynos 5 Octa-core variant was....

Despite the strong initial sales, reports out of Korea have claimed that sales of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ have been slower than its predecessors, the Galaxy S7. While the Galaxy S8 and S8+ flew off the shelves in the first few weeks of their availability, their demand has gone down drastically since then. Due to this, many industry analysts believe that sales of the handset have actually been around 20 percent lower than that of the Galaxy S7....

Earlier on August 13, Samsung officially unveiled the Galaxy Note 5, and on the same stage the Galaxy S6 edge+. While the company was quick to note carrier launches in the U.S. would happen soon, pricing was missing initially.

Each of the carriers, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile, will be launching the device near the end of the month, with pre-orders kicking off later on August 13....
