The device carries a price tag of 1,124,500 won ($969) which

Microsoft's OneDrive is now being integrated with Samsung's Gallery app on Galaxy Note 10 devices in Europe. The feature announced a couple of months ago became available to One UI 2.0 beta testers, but Microsoft has now announced that OneDrive integration has gone live for the Galaxy Note 10 series in Europe regardless of their Android OS versions.

Samsung Electronics was no longer Europe 's top R&D spender in 2018. It held the top spot in 2017 but lost the crown to Alphabet – Google's parent company – according to a recent report from Yonhap News Agency citing the European Union Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard. Samsung didn't spend any less than it did in 2017 Despite Samsung losing its top spot as the biggest R&D spender in the EU, the company spent 10% more on R&D in 2018 than it did a year before. Samsung isn't slowing down its spendings, and it poured a total of 14.8 billion EUR into R&D throughout the year. However, Alphabet spent 18.3 billion EUR, representing a 37% increase from a year earlier. Samsung spent more money on research & development than numerous other corporations including Volkswagen, Apple, Huawei, Microsoft, and Intel. The list of top 50 R&D spenders contained a total of 22 companies based in the United States. As reported not long ago, Samsung Elec

Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds alongside the Galaxy S10 and Fold in February this year. For 2020, along with next-generation flagship smartphones, the company also appears to be working on a successor to the Galaxy Buds. These new wireless earbuds, which are reported to launch as Galaxy Buds+, have secured FCC approval, moving one step closer to launch. Unlike smartphones, the FCC documents for the new Samsung earbuds don't reveal any specs, although there is not much to reveal in the first place. However, from a report published earlier today , we know these news buds will be called Galaxy Buds+, and they look very similar to the regular Galaxy Buds. We currently don't know when Samsung is planning to launch these new earbuds, but we guess it would be alongside the Galaxy S11 in February next year. For what it's worth, support pages for the Buds+ have already gone online , so there is a chance the launch may happen before the next Galaxy Unpacked event. There ar

Samsung launched 5G variants of all three of its 2019 flagships, but the Galaxy Note 10/10+ 5G have had an important advantage over the 5G variants of the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Fold. Where the Galaxy S10 5G and Galaxy Fold 5G get new software updates days and even weeks after their LTE variants , Samsung has usually released updates for both the LTE and 5G Galaxy Note 10 models at the same time . One would have imagined that would also be true for the Android 10 and One UI 2.0 update, but it doesn't look like that is going to be the case. Samsung has revealed in its Korean community forums that the Android 10 update for the Galaxy Note 10 5G and Galaxy Note 10+ 5G will not be arriving before 2020. The Galaxy S10 5G was updated to Android 10 two weeks after the Galaxy S10 trio , but it seems there will be a greater time difference between the LTE and 5G variants of the Galaxy Note 10/10+. The upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays are probably to blame, although Samsung is p

Samsung may soon release a new rugged smartphone, going by the latest FCC filings. A new device with SM-G715F model number has bagged FCC certification this week, just days after it was spotted on the Wi-Fi Alliance portal. The same model is also listed on the Bluetooth SIG website with the Galaxy Xcover Pro branding, confirming earlier rumors about the device. According to the FCC documents, the Galaxy Xcover Pro measures 160x77mm with a 6.3-inch display-diagonal. It comes with a removable battery and supports 15W charging. The Wi-Fi Alliance certification, meanwhile, revealed it runs Android 10 out of the box. While nowhere as reliable as these official documents, a Geekbench result for the same device showed Exynos 9611 chipset and 4GB of RAM onboard. The above specs show that the Galaxy Xcover Pro will be a mid-range device. It has weaker internals and possibly comes with a lower price tag when compared to the Galaxy Xcover FieldPro. Announced towards the end of October, the

Samsung's ambitions to create a new device category came to fruition earlier this year when it released the Galaxy Fold . It's not a perfect device, but it is one of a kind even among flexible devices. It is the beginning of a new legacy. Samsung is now working on its second foldable phone. It doesn't have an official name yet but most people have silently agreed on calling it the Galaxy Fold 2 for the sake of continuity. However, even as the so-called Galaxy Fold 2 boasts a flexible display much like the original model does, it will be very different from the ongoing Galaxy Fold in nearly every other aspect. For starters, it's expected to have a clamshell form factor which was all but confirmed by Samsung a couple of months ago at IFA. It's also expected to have a much lower price tag compared to the original smartphone-tablet hybrid, mostly because it's poised to have less powerful – and even fewer – components. Today, we'll wrap up all of the in

The Galaxy Note 10 features the tiniest bezels yet of any Galaxy flagship, and it will come as no surprise when the same will be seen on Samsung's next flagship, the Galaxy S11 . Just how tiny those bezels will be was hinted at by leaked images of Galaxy S11 screen protectors a few weeks ago, and the same source has now released new images that show a reference screen protector that is supposedly closer to the final design of the phone. It's worth noting that protective films do not cover the entire length and breath of the display, so the Galaxy S11's bezels will be slightly bigger than what we see in these images. They should be equal in size to the bezels on the Galaxy Note 10, which should allow Samsung to keep the overall dimensions of the Galaxy S11e, S11, and S11+ relatively compact despite the large screens all three Galaxy S11 models are rumored to have (between 6.2 to 6.9 inches). While the bezel size may remain the same between the Galaxy S11 and Galaxy Not

Samsung continues to expand the list of devices updated with the December 2019 Android patch with both recent and not-so-recent phones and tablets. The December security update is now rolling out to the Galaxy A80, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, and the Galaxy Tab A 10.5 (2018). The Tab A 10.5 is getting the update in Turkey, the Galaxy A80 in Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, and a couple of other countries, and the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge in Spain and France. None of the updates released bring anything in the way of new features or functionality, only the latest security patch. The December patch  fixes six critical vulnerabilities in the Android OS, in addition to over two dozen high and moderate-risk vulnerabilities. It also fixes 13 vulnerabilities that were discovered in the company's own software, including one that could allow connections to new Bluetooth devices on locked devices. If you own any of the devices mentioned above and reside in the countries where the update is avai

Samsung's focus may be on launching as many new smartphones as possible at the moment, but the company is also busy preparing at least one new wearable device. That would be the Galaxy Buds+ , an upgraded version of the rather excellent and popular Galaxy Buds. Not a lot has been revealed about the new wireless earbuds through leaks and rumors ever since they were confirmed to be in development , but Samsung itself has accidentally shown us what the Buds+ will look like. The APK file for the latest version of Samsung's SmartThings app was stripped down by the folks over at XDA Developers and found to contain references to the Galaxy Buds+. Also included in the app are animations showing the charging case and the buds, revealing that the design for both will be the same as that of the Galaxy Buds and its charging case. The color pink has been confirmed as well – the Buds+ are likely to be available in black, white and blue as well, as we had previously learned from our source
