Sexism in alive and well, despite decades of progress. Mobile phone makers, even today, often take a popular device they’re selling, slap a pink coat of paint on it, and then spend millions marketing it towards a certain demographic. Now while I’m not offended by that, probably because I’m a man, I know plenty of women who are infuriated by this sort of attitude. Well, ladies, let me present to you the Galaxy S III mini Crystal Edition....

As with Yik Yak, Sarahah – which in Arabic means honesty and frankness – has gained momentum thanks to the novelty of anonymity among the younger ones, but just as its predecessor is beginning to be criticized for becoming an instrument for the online harassment. Sarahah, developed in Saudi Arabia by programmer Zain Alabdin Tawfiq and launched last February, has become one of the most popular applications on Android and iPhone at the moment, despite not having millionaires funds or an extremely complex technology....

While it is intriguing so as to why Samsung skipped the number 6 in the Note series and instead is about to announce Note 7. However, one of the deduction says that it you take into consideration the Galaxy Note Edge released in 2014 the next Note should be aptly numbered Note 7. This is what Samsung itself has to say about the nomenclature, “The Galaxy Note7 will minimize confusion about the latest mobile technology from Samsung, and provide full alignment with Galaxy S smartphone....

The worldwide availability of the Galaxy S5 is still a few weeks away but that has not stopped an eager user on XDA from getting his hands on all the new apps that the device will ship with.

Samsung is reportedly working on bringing Android 5.1 to the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, and that’s good news, but some owners aren’t all too happy with the Galaxy S6 edge right now. According to a growing number of Galaxy S6 edge owners, the Galaxy S6 edge is suffering from auto-rotation issues. The reports are starting to build up in the XDA forums, as well as Verizon Wireless’ own forums for the handset....

Samsung will only be preloading two bloatware apps on the Galaxy S6, according to the list of apps that SamMobile has received from their sources. The source claims that Samsung will only be shipping the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge with 7 pre-installed apps. This is in stark contrast to the previous Galaxy devices from Samsung, which were filled to the brim with bloatware. Beside the usual suite of Google apps, Samsung’s upcoming flagship will come pre-installed with S Voice, S Health, Facebook, Microsoft One Drive and One Note, Skype and Galaxy Apps....

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are the first handsets from the Korean smartphone maker to make use of on-screen navigation buttons. The company had to ditch the physical home button on its latest flagship devices this time around due to the lack of space at the front as it wanted to achieve a bezel-less look. The switch to an on-screen navigation bar can be a bit jarring for long time users of previous Galaxy S handsets but its something that you will get used to after the first week of using the phone....

Yesterday, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 9, its biggest and most powerful Note handset yet. The Note 9 in many ways embodies what a Note device truly stands for: a big bad-ass smartphone filled to the brim with top-notch features. While the Note 9 itself is pretty impressive, the S Pen is even more impressive this time around. Samsung has given the S Pen on the Note 9 its biggest upgrade in years....

Cosmetically, you know more or less what to expect from a Samsung Galaxy – large AMOLED screen (here bumped very slightly to 5.1” but still using diamond pentile technology, though it’s perfectly crisp enough at ‘normal’ screen sizes), physical ‘home’ button (now with gimmicky fingerprint scanner built-in, of which more later) and capacitive ancillary controls. Except that, in a break from Samsung tradition, the menu key has now been replaced by ‘Recent apps’, which mirrors what most of the rest of the Android world has been doing – sometimes with virtual keys, sometimes with physical....

Samsung has just unveiled its latest ‘edge’ wonder — the Galaxy S7 edge. Compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy S7 edge might sport the same design, but it has received huge upgrades in almost every department. And if you are looking for the full detailed technical specifications of the handset, have a look below. What do you think about the Galaxy S7 edge? Read: Samsung Galaxy S7 vs. Galaxy S6: What’s the difference 

The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge changed the way consumers look at Samsung’s flagship smartphones, with the company replacing its cheap-feeling plastics with metal and glass for a considerably more premium feel. But barring the curved edges on the Galaxy S6 edge (and the Galaxy S6 edge+), Samsung’s 2015 flagships continue to have the same overall look as existing Galaxy devices, and a new report suggests that will continue to be the case with the upcoming Galaxy S7....

Taking advantage of its MST technology, Samsung is reportedly planning on launching Samsung Pay in India alongside the Galaxy S8 next year. NFC-equipped PoS terminals are a rarity in India which forms the backbone of smartphone-based payment services like Android Pay and Apple Pay. However, Samsung Pay is compatible with older PoS terminals thanks to its MST technology. With the Indian government demonetising Rs 500 and Rs 1000 in November, there has been a huge spike in the use of debit/credit cards and other mobile-based wallet services like Paytm in the country....

While Samsung has already launched the Galaxy Note 4 in South Korea, thanks to praise for Apple’s latest smartphones, the manufacturer has released a map outlining where the Galaxy Note 4 will land next, all the way into November.

You’ll have to know your geography a bit to make sure you’re pegging the right location for a specific launch, but the colored dots should make it easy enough....

Samsung has seemingly ordered around 500,000 to 2,000,000 units which is far lower than the millions of units it orders for its flagship Galaxy S products....

As we all know, Apple is ready to launch it’s iPhone 14 on the 7th of September, but Samsung seems to play its card before the launch so let’s discuss all details below. For Samsung, iPhones 14 Lacks Innovation We have waited a year to see the iPhone 14 launch, but to be honest, there is no such innovation or anything completely different from the market.

With the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, Samsung fixed one of the biggest gripes that owners of its previous flagship handsets complained about: the battery life. Thanks to some under the hood optimisations and gigantic batteries, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge can easily last through a day of heavy use, at least on paper. In reality however, many Galaxy S7 users are having to charge the phone multiple times during the day to make it last through a day....
