This year was supposed to be the year we saw display embedded fingerprint scanners. The technology exists, but no OEM was able to make it cheap and reliable enough to actually include it in this year's phones. Instead we ended up with Samsung phones having the scanner in a less than ideal...

It's that time again folks! Now that we have the Note 8 in our hands it's time to start speculating about the next Samsung flagship the Galaxy S9. A new report suggest that Samsung may have claimed the first batch of the Snapdragon 845 processors. Samsung had a similar arrangement for the Galaxy...

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ are currently experiencing a major bug. S8 users have been reporting in the US that they are missing text messages. This bug started showing up Thursday. This bug effects users on all major US carriers. Apparently switching messaging apps is not helping either. There is no...

There are still some benefits to rooting your Android device. With a rooted Android you have full SuperUser access to your device and can do things like add the popular AudioMod Viper4Android, change your phone's bootanimation, remove system apps, and more. The Galaxy Note 8 has been out now for...

I have been carrying my Note 8 for about two weeks, and so far the battery life has been pretty great. I am averaging about 6 hours of screen on time and my battery doesn't die until it is time for me to go to sleep. I am getting a good 18 hours of life out of the 3300mah battery every day. Not...

Hello, I recently bought a used Samsung Galaxy S5 from a Sprint retailer and they told me everything was normal and that it was released for every company and...:eek: welll.. I`m from Mexico, I asked him if it would work and he said yes but now that I want to use it I can only make phone calls...

Early reports indicate that Samsung is working on a big upgrade when it comes to the camera on the Galaxy S9. In order to compete with Sony's Xperia XZ1 camera Samsung is apparently developing an in house camera sensor capable of shooting at 1,000fps. This is pretty amazing considering that pro...

The Bixby Button is Samsung's attempt to get those using their millions of new handsets to use the Samsung created voice assistant. Bixby is their answer to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. In some ways it can actually do more than either voice assistant. On the Galaxy S8 and Note 8 Bixby can...

Well that was quick only a few days after Samsung began work on Android 8.0 Oreo for the Galaxy S8 the device has been spotted running the software a Geekbench benchmark. There is still no time table on the release of the software. The S8 still doesn't have an update of 7.1.1 Nougat. Hopefully...

The video above shows the entire process Zack of JerryRigEverything used to turn his glass back on the Note 8 clear. This is a pretty cool look, but will kill the IP68 water and dust resistance rating. It makes you wonder why Samsung wouldn't just offer a special clear edition. Is this something...

The current series of high end flagship devices all run the latest 10nm process, but midrangers are still running the less powerful 14nm process chips. Samsung is looking to bring a higher performing chip to the market with their new 11nm LPP process chips. These chips will deliver a 15% boost...

Oreo has been out now for several weeks, and Samsung is already developing the new update for the Galaxy S8 and S8+. This is great news as Samsung has been notorious for updating devices super late. So far Samsung has not mentioned when these updates will begin rolling out to devices. Hopefully...

Hey guys, put a video together doing an extreme durability test with the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active. I originally wasn't aware of the shatter resistant screen, so now that I am, decided to see how strong it was.

With the Note 7 fiasco many Note series fans have been chomping at the bits to finally get their hands on a new Note device. With preorders live Samsung is reporting that they received 395,000 preorders on day 1 in South Korea alone. To put that in perspective South Korean pre-orders for the...

Hey guys just disassembled the S8 active and gotta say I found it to be much easier than working with the regular S8 or prior phones. Glad to see it comes apart from the rear not the front!

Samsung has just applied for a design patent that features a nearly bezel free display with only a small cutout near the top. The cutout would presumably be for a camera, sensors and earpiece. So far early rumors surrounding the Galaxy S9 suggest that it will have a rear placed fingerprint...

Last week a video claiming that the Note 8's Facial Recognition can be fooled with a picture started making the rounds on twitter. So far the video tweet has nearly 4,000 retweets. The guy in the video uses a photo to unlock a Note 8 on display in what looks like a big box store, possibly Best...

In the past we have seen the announcement of the latest S flagship at Mobile World Congress towards the end of February. Samsung was a bit late with the S8 announcement as they took a little extra time to ensure the safety of the devices after the Note 7 fiasco. In the unlikeliest of rumors...

The Note 8 has been deemed a glorified Galaxy S8+ with S-Pen by many, but there are actually a few reasons to purchase the Note 8 over the cheaper Galaxy S8+. One of those reasons being the new and improved Infinity Display. The Display for the Note 8 is 6.3" and sees an improvement in...

One of the biggest complaints I have heard regarding the Note 8 is that it has a smaller 3300mah battery. This is less than the 3500mah found in the Galaxy S8+. The Note 7 of last year had a 3500mah battery which ended up being a bit too ambitious. Samsung's Mobile Chief DJ Koh has already...
