Samsung kicked off the Android Pie roll-out for the Galaxy Tab S4 a couple of weeks ago. The update was initially released for the LTE model of the international versions of the device. The US version of the Galaxy Tab S4 is also receiving the Android Pie update now. The update in the US is currently available for the Wi-Fi models only. There's no word yet on when the LTE models will be receiving the update, but we imagine it shouldn't be too far away. International Wi-Fi model also getting Android Pie Samsung had left out the Wi-Fi models from the initial Android Pie roll-out for the Galaxy Tab S4. However, it has now released the update globally. This update brings version number  T830XXU2BSD1  to the Wi-Fi model of the Tab S4 in the US. It bundles all the new features and improvements that come with Android 9.0 Pie, as well as Samsung's new One UI and the  March 2019 security patch . The update is a 1488.62 MB download. As you'd expect, Samsung is releasin

Huawei has silently launched its Y5 2019 smartphone with a leather back which was leaked earlier. This is an entry-level smartphone which has been listed on the companies official website. This will be the successor of the Huawei Y5 smartphone which was an Android Go smartphone. The handset comes with a waterdrop notch along with a faux leather finish on the back. This new device comes with an anti-fingerprint and wear resistant leather back and will be available in Sapphire Blue, Midnight Black, and Modern Black color variants. Now talking about the specs sheet of this new handset, it will be flaunting a 5.71-inch display with HD+ (1520 x 720 pixels) resolution and 84.6% screen-to-body ratio. To power the device there is an octa-core 12nm MediaTek Helio A22 processor with a clocking speed of 2.0 GHz. Furthermore, the device is YUV Rheinland certified for blacking Blue light which can be harmful to its users. The Huawei Y5 2019 will be available in 2GB as 3GB RAM options along wi

The Moto G7 Play was the cheapest smartphone in the G7 series that was available for $200 in the US. Yesterday Boost mobile also announced that it will be selling its Moto G7 Play smartphone for $50 but the user needs to opt for a $50 plan or higher unlimited plan to qualify for the deal. But now Best Buy is offering the Moto G7 Play for $150 but the user needs to activate the phone today with AT&T or Verizon. If you plan to choose on Sprint, the Moto G7 Play will be costing you just $100. This deal won't be valid for the users who won't avail it today. The user needs to activate the service today itself and since the device comes unlocked it can be switched to other carriers later also. Well, now talking about the specs of the device, the Moto G7 Plus is powered with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset with eight cores and 1.8 GHz clocking speed coupled with Adreno 509 GPU and 4GB of RAM. The handset sports a 6.2-inch IPLS LCD 1080 x 2270 pixels display with Corning Go

Samsung's lack of real-world testing could be to blame for the issues a handful of reviewers ran into while using the Galaxy Fold . That's because the handset doesn't have enough protection against the ingress of debris, which can — and did — cause damage to the folding screen, rending the device unusable. And that's a strong indication that the unit was confined to a lab during the testing phase. It's unclear whether that's the reason Samsung decided to delay the launch of the Galaxy Fold or whether the reviewers who tampered with the protective layer affixed to the screen, thus damaging it, were to blame for that, but it ought to be something it focuses on now — it's shaping up to be a somewhat widespread issue, with there being five reports of units breaking due to foreign matter. That's according to iFixit, which had its wicked teardown way with the Galaxy Fold earlier this week. After commending the handset's robust hinge mechanism, the ou

Samsung Electronics has announced that it will set aside an eye-watering $115 billion to take on Intel and Qualcomm in the advanced semiconductor business, releasing $9.6 billion of the fund per annum for the next decade or so. The investment should help the firm reach its long-standing goal of becoming the world leader in the logic chip market by the time 2030 swings around. Right now, Samsung Electronics sits at the top of the declining memory market . The funding will aid its efforts in strengthening its non-memory semiconductor business, which includes contract chip manufacturing — known as foundry — and the development of its Exynos mobile processors; while also opening up 15,000 new career opportunities in R&D and production over the period. Samsung will leverage its technology to sell more chips Samsung Electronics, which employs around 100,000 people in Korea, will spend $52 billion on the maintenance of local production infrastructure. The remainder of the fund will

What started off as a good week for Samsung ended up being a PR nightmare. The Galaxy Fold received spectacular initial impressions from reviewers who had been handed test units. However, the display on some units started failing merely a day later . The issues only exacerbated after that. So much so that Samsung not only decided to postpone launch events, it ended up delaying the release altogether . That's despite reiterating in its initial response that the April 26 release would go ahead as planned. Galaxy Fold was meant to validate Samsung's innovator credentials The Galaxy Fold was the culmination of eight years of research. It was meant to make Samsung stand out from the competition. The company really wanted to be the first to put a mass-produced foldable smartphone on the market. It got very close to doing that. Many have now been linking this debacle to the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco . Samsung had rushed ahead with new technology back then and this is viewed as a si

Just a day after we exclusively revealed the Galaxy View 2 , AT&T has officially confirmed the device as well. The original Galaxy View "movable display" was launched on AT&T as well so it's no surprise that the same carrier has been chosen for the successor. AT&T hasn't confirmed pricing and availability details as yet. It has posted a video on YouTube which details some of the Galaxy View 2 specs and features. It may not be long before the carrier starts selling the device. Galaxy View 2 specs and features The Galaxy View 2 has been designed to be a bit more compact compared to its predecessor. The original Galaxy View had an 18.4-inch display and even an integrated handle for portability. That's not present in the new model which opts for a hinged kickstand. Described as a 4G LTE-connected "mobile TV" in the video, the Galaxy View 2 features a 17.3-inch Full HD display. It has a dedicated TV Mode which will let users quickly acce

Everything unraveled for the world's first foldable smartphone in the past couple of days. Early units that were sent out to reviewers failed. Some due to user error while others may just have been faulty units. Samsung has since postponed the Galaxy Fold launch events in different markets across the globe. It has also decided to delay the release. Samsung was due to release the Galaxy Fold on April 26 in the United States. Customers have already pre-ordered their units. The release has now been delayed. AT&T, one of the carriers selling the device, says that the new Galaxy Fold release date is June 13. New Galaxy Fold release date could be June 13 Samsung initially responded to reports about the display on the review units breaking by saying that it would investigate the matter. However, it reiterated that the release will go as per schedule on April 26. That's because in most reported cases, the reviewers had removed the top layer on the foldable display thinking
