Samsung has released the much-awaited Galaxy Fit in some markets today.  Spain , Italy , and South Korea are among the markets to get the device initially. The wearable is priced at €99 in the European countries, whereas in South Korea, it costs 118,800 won (~€90).

The Fit e, which costs €39.99, went on sale earlier this month . The Galaxy Fit should also be available in more markets soon. It comes in black and silver and weighs just 23 grams.

We have known for a few weeks now that Samsung is working on a new Galaxy M series device . We can now exclusively reveal some Galaxy M40 specs. As expected, this device is shaping up to be quite a feature-packed one in its price range. Samsung introduced the Galaxy M series in India about four months ago. These devices have been priced aggressively to compete with Chinese manufacturers. That's part of the reason why they have largely been sold online only. They also offer decent bang for your buck. The Galaxy M10, M20 and M30 have thus all been well received . Galaxy M40 specs revealed The company is expanding the new lineup with the forthcoming Galaxy M40. A few details about the device were recently confirmed by a high-ranking Samsung executive in India. We know that the Galaxy M40 will have a 32-megapixel rear camera and that it will be priced around ₹20,000 (~$285). Given what we now know about its specs, the Galaxy M40 seems to offer great value for money. We can now...

Samsung has the habit of launching special editions of its flagship devices to commemorate special occasions such as major sporting events, release of popular movies, etc. Despite the much-awaited release of the Avengers: Endgame presenting a similar opportunity, the Korean company decided to go with just Marvel-themed cases this time for its Galaxy S10 lineup. It is now quietly bringing these accessories to some of its midrange devices as well. Samsung has started selling Marvel-themed cases for few of its newer Galaxy A models in select regions. Multiple Marvel cases for the Galaxy A40, A50 and A70 went on sale on many third-party portals recently without any fanfare. While these cases for the Galaxy A50 have been announced previously by Samsung Philippines , this is the first time we are seeing them for the Galaxy A40 and A70. Netherlands' retailer Coolblue has listed Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man, and Spider-Man-themed smart covers for the Galaxy A50 and A70. Amazo...

Multiple reports are now suggesting that there's a good chance the Galaxy Note 10 may not have a headphone jack . If that is the case, it would be the first flagship phablet without the 3.5mm headphone jack. As you can probably imagine, a lot of Samsung fans are going to be very opinionated about this. One can argue that this is inevitable. Samsung had to eventually remove the headphone jack from its flagship phones. It has to start somewhere, the Galaxy Fold notwithstanding . Others may feel that this is a good differentiating factor to have, that Samsung should stand out of the crowd by continuing its support for this standard. What we want to know is whether you'd buy Galaxy Note 10 if it doesn't have the headphone jack? Vote below and let's get a discussion going down in the comments section.

Samsung launched the Galaxy A70  ( review ) and the Galaxy A80 in Thailand last month. While the former has already gone on sale in several countries , Samsung is making all of us wait a little longer for the latter. Not much long now, though, at least not for customers in India. We've learnt that Samsung is holding exclusive previews of the Galaxy A80 across the country next week. The events, where it will allow the public to play with the phone, will be held in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Kolkata on June 8 and 9.

It was first reported last week that Samsung may soon launch the Cardinal Red Galaxy S10 . Renders of this new color option have already surfaced online so it may not be long before it arrives. A retailer listing suggests that this new color option might become available in some European markets from next month. Samsung often releases new colors for flagship smartphones several months after they hit the market. It's a good way to reignite consumer interest in the device. We have seen the company do this with its previous Galaxy flagships as well. Cardinal Red Galaxy S10 could arrive next month Samsung is yet to confirm when it will officially begin shipping the Cardinal Red Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+. A retailer listing suggests that this option with 128GB storage will be available in Switzerland next month. An earlier report said that Samsung will only offer this in Russia and markets across western Europe. So it's possible that the Cardinal Red Galaxy S10 may just see...

There was a report about the Galaxy Note 10's headphone jack yesterday, in that the upcoming flagship won't have one. It will be a polarizing decision. Some will be fine with it while others will voice their displeasure. Yesterday's report also mentioned that the Galaxy Note 10 could ditch its physical power, volume and Bixby keys as well. Samsung was apparently considering capacitive or pressure-sensitive alternatives. The company might have thought about it but a well-known leakster says it's not going to happen. Galaxy Note 10 headphone jack could really get the ax We did highlight the possibility that these changes might have been part of an early Galaxy Note 10 prototype. There's no saying if they will make the cut. @UniverseIce gave his two cents on yesterday's report on Twitter. He says that it was indeed an early prototype which didn't have physical buttons. It was a radical change but apparently, it didn't pass Samsung's rigorous tes...

Some new information has surfaced regarding Samsung's upcoming flagship. It's about the Galaxy Note 10 headphone jack, or lack thereof. The report claims that Samsung will remove the 3.5mm headphone jack from the Galaxy Note 10 . Not only that, it's also said to ditch the physical buttons. So if the information turns out to be accurate, the Galaxy Note 10 won't have a headphone jack. It also won't have buttons for power, volume and Bixby. Though I'm sure not a lot of people are going to miss that last one . Don't keep your fingers crossed for the Galaxy Note 10 headphone jack Citing a source familiar with the company's plans, Android Police reports that Samsung will likely not include a 3.5mm headphone jack with its next flagship smartphone. The company is perhaps the only major Android vendor still selling flagships with the jack. It's not like Samsung is entirely opposed to the idea. There are a couple of recent mid-range handsets that don...

Privacy, security and transparency are at the forefront of all the work we do on Chrome. In October, we announced changes aimed at ensuring Chrome extensions are trustworthy by default, but the work doesn't end there.   As part of our commitment to transparency, we are announcing a new policy targeting deceptive installation tactics for extensions on the Chrome Web Store. We've seen that the path to downloading a Chrome extension influences user trust in all extensions. One bad experience can affect a user's interest in the many great extensions our developers create. Setting the right expectations for what an extension does, from the start, helps create a healthy and thriving ecosystem of extensions, developers, and passionate users. Last year, to improve user transparency we deprecated inline installation and began requiring all extension installs to go through the Chrome Web Store. This change has helped reduce user complaints about unwanted extensions by 1...

Samsung is now rolling out the newest Galaxy S10 update in a handful of more countries, following its debut in Switzerland earlier this week. The new update (XXU1ASE6) is the second one that has been issued to the Galaxy S10 lineup this month and brings fixes for the freezing issues users had been facing with the first May security update. At the moment, we can confirm it is out in Germany, India, and Russia, and it shouldn't be long before more countries join the party. The new update does seem to fix all problems: Our devices here at SamMobile are running fine after installing it, and many of our readers have also confirmed to us that that's indeed the case. Samsung was pretty quick with releasing the bug-fixing update, which is good considering the severity of the issues that have been plaguing users after installing the previous update . Now, they can simply enjoy all the camera improvements instead of worrying about when their S10e, S10, or S10+ might start up acting ...

The Galaxy S8+ was one of the first few devices which received the May 2019 security patch earlier this month. However, Samsung is now rolling out a new Galaxy S8+ May update today. There are no big ticket items included in the update so don't expect much in the way of new features. Germany was the first country where Samsung rolled out the May 2019 security patch for the Galaxy S8+. Today's update also happens to be rolling out in Germany first. It weighs in at quite a bit more than the first May update. New Galaxy S8 May update rolling out Since the device has already received the latest security maintenance release, it doesn't apply a new monthly patch. Samsung won't actually be detailing June's patch until next week at the very least. The changelog of this update, bearing version number G955FXXU4DSE4 , only mentions camera stability improvements and an update for the security patch. We checked anyway just to be certain if features like the new Night mod...

Not very long ago, we have seen Redmi launching its Redmi K20 flagship series smartphones in China and few rumors suggested that the Redmi K20 along with Redmi K20 Pro could be launched as Mi9T and Mi 9T Pro in Russia. The new teaser image of the upcoming Mi 9T has come up on Twitter and the device will be the successor of the Mi 9 that was launched a few months back. The teaser also reveals a full-screen display with no notch on the front and also a triple rear camera set up on the back. According to the latest teaser, it is clear that this device is from the Mi 9 series and not related to the Redmi K20 series since the triple camera set on the upcoming smartphone is placed towards the corner instead of the middle like we have seen on Redmi K20 series. Along with the teaser image, Xiaomi has also used a hashtag- "PopUpInStyle" which clearly indicates a pop-up selfie camera for the handset.  From the image, we can see that the smartphone will be coming with a gradient col...

Meizu has been launching many smartphones under its Meizu 16 series and now the latest addition to it is the Meizu 16Xs which is also the fifth in the series. This handset is going to be the Meizu's first smartphone with a triple rear camera setup but like many other Chinese companies, even Meizu has less market and is limited mostly to China. The handset is going to be available in Coral Orange color and Atlantis Blue color options.  It will be coming with a 3D curved body and an aluminum frame and measures at 152 x 74.4 x 8.3 mm and weighs 165 grams. The Meizu 16Xs is equipped with a 6.2-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolutions giving 18.6:9 aspect ratio which is a bit odd considering other devices in the market. Meizu calls this display as Extreme bezel-less display as it has no bezels and notch. Furthermore, the display of this particular device has been VDE certified for blocking harmful Blue light that is emitted from the screes of the phone.  Well, under the hood,...

Samsung's upcoming "e" variant of the Galaxy A10 is nearing its launch. The device, Galaxy A10e , recently passed through the FCC with model number SM-A102U and also secured Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Alliance certifications . Now, ahead of the impending launch, it has been spotted on the Geekbench benchmark database, revealing some key specs. Galaxy A10e specs include Exynos 7884 SoC with 2GB RAM The Geekbench listing says the Galaxy A10e has the Exynos 7885 chipset with eight physical cores. However, the actual benchmark scores and the CPU's base frequency of 1.35 GHz suggest it to be the Exynos 7884 instead, the same chipset as the standard A10. After all, it wouldn't really make sense for an "e" variant to better than its non-"e" sibling. Coincidentally, the Galaxy A10 was also reported to have an Exynos 7885 chipset by the Geekbench benchmark . The Galaxy A10e also gets 2GB of RAM and will come with Android 9 Pie out of the box, exactly li...

A number of Galaxy devices are receiving an update with the May 2019 security patch in various parts of the world. These devices include the Galaxy J7 Duo, Galaxy J5 Pro, Galaxy Note Fan Edition, and the Galaxy Tab Active 2, and the updates seem to be basic ones with only security fixes. That means that other than the Galaxy Note Fan Edition, no device is getting the Android Pie update. However, security updates are important as well, and these devices have fixes for the most recent security flaws discovered in the Android operating system and Samsung's own software. The May patch fixes seven critical and dozens of high and moderate risk Android OS vulnerabilities, along with 21 vulnerabilities of varying severities that only affect Galaxy devices. Samsung details these critical vulnerabilities on its security website for those who are interested in the specifics. If you own any of the devices mentioned above, you can check if the update is available for you by going into the ...
