Samsung began rolling out a new major software update for the Galaxy S10 series earlier this week, and availability has now expanded to a few other European countries. The update was initially launched in Germany and Switzerland, but Galaxy S10 users in Panama, Luxembourg, and the Baltic are now receiving the package as well. The update is rolling out to the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+, carrying firmware version G970FXXU3ASIG , G973FXXU3ASIG , and G975FXXU3ASIG , respectively. The release introduces a handful of features from the Galaxy Note 10 , including Samsung DeX for PC,  Dynamic Lock screen , AR Doodle , Super steady recording in the camera's Hyperlapse mode, new effects for the  Live focus  mode, and  Live focus video . Another big change is the addition of Night mode for both the front-facing sensor and the rear-facing telephoto camera. The mode doesn't do a whole lot to benefit images captured in low light with the selfie shooter, but as we've 

Samsung's software support for the Galaxy S7 continues to impress us, as the company has released yet another security update for its 2016 flagship. The September security update is rolling out for the Galaxy S7 in Puerto Rico and Uruguay right now, with software version G930FXXS6ESIS in tow. The Galaxy S7 edge doesn't seem to have joined the party just yet, but it shouldn't be long before the curvier Galaxy S7 gets the update as well. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge have been in and out of Samsung's quarterly schedule for security updates in the last few months. Earlier this year, the company had surprised us by keeping the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge on a quarterly schedule even after the devices crossed three years on the market, only to dump them in the "other regular security updates" category a couple of months later, meaning they would get updates only when necessary. That didn't last long and both phones are back to getting security updates ev

The Galaxy Note 10 will most likely outsell its predecessor, according to industry analysts cited by The Investor , who predict that the Galaxy Note 10 shipments will be up 11 percent compared to the Galaxy Note 9. This wouldn't come as a huge surprise considering how Samsung sold twice as many Galaxy Note 10 models in its first month of availability. Analyst Lee Chang-min of KB Securities expects the company to push 10.5 million Galaxy Note 10 units onto the market. The company could achieve this thanks to its two-phone strategy, which seems to be working well. The analyst also claims that Samsung's early foray into the 5G market is going to bump up sales figures even further. Samsung is seemingly winning the 5G race too Samsung isn't seeing a lot of competition in the 5G segment and its biggest potential competitor, Huawei, has been losing ground amid trade disagreements with the US government. Meanwhile, Chinese OEMs including VIVO could partner with Samsung an

It has been over a year since Samsung first unveiled the Galaxy Home , its Bixby-powered smart speaker. It was unveiled alongside the Galaxy Note 9 in New York City. Samsung didn't even mention the Galaxy Home during its Galaxy Note 10 event in August. We know that it hasn't been discontinued and that Samsung still intends to release it. Some new evidence has surfaced which suggests that the company might finally be close to releasing the much-awaited product. Galaxy Home release could be just around the corner One of our readers shared a screenshot with us of a pop-up he got out of the blue upon launching the Spotify app. The Galaxy Home's silhouette is clearly visible in this pop-up, which when translated from French essentially encourages Spotify users to link their streaming account to their Samsung account so that they can access their music on all of their Samsung devices. We've not seen the pop-up on any of our devices in the Netherlands or elsewhere so

The Galaxy Tab S6 might be the greatest Android tablet of 2019 but there are still reasons to want and buy a Galaxy Tab S5e instead. For starters, it's cheaper and offers a great bundle of features for the price. AT&T is going to start selling the Galaxy Tab S5e LTE to customers in the United States beginning September 27 for the price of $479, or in exchange of $16 a month for 30 months on an AT&T Installment Plan. The Galaxy Tab S5e has been available for a few months, but AT&T is only just now launching the LTE variant on its network. The mobile carrier released a promotional video to celebrate the release and detail some of the tablet's main characteristics as well as some of its own services available on the tablet, such as AT&T TV. AT&T's Galaxy Tab S5e LTE has the same overall specifications as the international model, so you can expect a 10.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 by 1600, a Snapdragon 670 chipset, and 64G

The Galaxy S11 could up the ante in the camera department by featuring 5x optical zoom capability. A report from Korean publication  The Elec  citing industry sources says that the Galaxy S11 would be the first Samsung phone to feature its 5x optical zoom camera module that it started mass producing earlier this year . It wouldn't be the least bit surprising if that does end up happening, but reports from South Korea media are always good to see as they make things more believable than just speculation and random rumors. The Galaxy S11 won't be the first to offer something like 5x optical zoom. It will also not be the first to use the ingenious periscope-type camera modules that make high optical zoom capabilities possible in smartphones. As you can see in the video below, such modules have the sensor and lenses arranged sideways and utilize the principle of reflecting light in a periscope. Samsung's 5x optical zoom module is just 5mm thick, so theoretically, it could fi

Rather than combining the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note flagship lineups and replacing the Galaxy Note series with the Galaxy Fold lineups, could Samsung instead be working on a more affordable Galaxy Note smartphone that falls somewhere in the higher mid-range category? That's perhaps the only possibility we can think of based on the latest information that we have uncovered: Samsung is developing a device with model number SM-N770F, one that doesn't fit into any existing smartphone lineup in the Korean giant's stable. Right now, the Galaxy Note series is the only one to use model numbers starting with the letter N, and all Note devices sport model numbers in the SM-N9xx range. What makes us think that the SM-N770F is a non-flagship Note is the fact that Samsung's working on a more affordable foldable phone for next year with model number SM-F700F. The Galaxy Fold, which is Samsung's flagship foldable phone, is SM-F900F, and if the SM-F700F is indeed a more affordab

Samsung is not preparing only its current crop of flagship devices for the Android 10 upgrade. The Galaxy S9 lineup, too, is already being tested with firmware based on the latest version of the operating system. Galaxy S9 under testing with Android 10 We've known for a while that Samsung has been working hard to bring Android 10 to the Galaxy S10 . We have even seen a hands-on video of the device running the next version of One UI and confirmed the Galaxy Note 10 is under testing with the same new software. It seems all is well, concerning the coming upgrade for Samsung's flagship phones. But what about the previous generation? Well, it seems the Korean company is not sitting still here either. As the guys at  GalaxyClub now confirm, both the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are currently being tested with Google's latest. Firmware versions  G960FXXU7DSI3 and G965FXXU7DSI3 are based on Android 10, as evidenced by the letter 'D' which represents the next Android ver

It was expected that the Samsung Fortnite Glow skin will be unveiled in the near future and that's precisely what the company has done today. Samsung has confirmed that it's retiring the iKONIK skin , released with the Galaxy S10, on September 26. That doesn't mean those who currently have the iKONIK skin will lose it after that date. They will continue to have it, it's just that it will no longer be possible to download the skin anymore. Samsung is going to replace it with the new Glow skin the very next day. The exclusive Levitate emote is included as well. Samsung Fortnite Glow skin will be available soon Samsung's partnership with Epic games began last year when Fortnite was just making its way to Android devices. The game was exclusive to Samsung devices for a limited time and Samsung also offered a custom skin. It has since offered a custom skin with the Galaxy S10 as well and is doing that once again with the Galaxy Note 10. The good news is that the

Samsung's first foldable smartphone has made quite the comeback. Despite the early troubles , it has come back stronger and is actually selling out in markets where it's being sold. The Galaxy Fold won't be the only foldable smartphone to come out of Samsung, though. It has been known for a while that the company is working on another foldable smartphone . From what we gather, this is going to be a slightly more affordable version, and we now hear that it's going to be made available worldwide. Samsung is currently selling the Galaxy Fold in select markets and that too in limited quantities. Next Galaxy Fold will see a wider release That was to be expected. It's not going to end up making more units of the Galaxy Fold than it can sell. What the first device is doing more than anything is taking the market's temperature, so to speak. It will help Samsung understand just how big of a demand there is for foldable smartphones and what improvements or features

I'm less annoyed about the Galaxy Fold 's relatively fragile nature than I thought I would be, and for the past few days I kept asking myself "why?" As a commercially-available device, it deserves scrutiny and criticism, so what's different about the Galaxy Fold that makes me feel like its lack of protection for the foldable screen – and the lack of dust and waterproofing – isn't that big of a deal? At the very least, my internal monologue doesn't seem to criticize the Galaxy Fold as harshly as it would other devices, so what gives? The answer came to me when I realized I'm looking at the Galaxy Fold with the same eyes I'd be looking at a halo car. At the risk of sounding like a blind fan, I'm cutting the Galaxy Fold some slack A halo car is a vehicle manufactured by a company with the purpose of putting itself on the map in a vehicle category that's been previously unexplored. It's a demonstration of force, but unlike a prototype,

A report from the Korean media that seems to have flown under the radar has indicated that the Galaxy S11's in-display fingerprint sensor would be more convenient to use thanks to a larger sensing area for detecting fingerprints. According to  The Elec , the 'Active Area Dimension' (AAD) for the in-display fingerprint sensor on the Galaxy S11 will measure 64 square millimeters while the Galaxy S10's (and the Note 10's) measures 36 square millimeters. It's unclear just how accurate those numbers are, but the increase in sensing area would certainly be a welcome improvement. Right now, fingerprint technology on smartphones isn't perfect. In their pursuit for smartphones with minimal bezels around the display, manufacturers opted for rear-facing physical fingerprint readers, and the one point of contention there was the fact that you had to pick a device up in order to scan their fingerprint. In-display fingerprint sensors solved that dilemma, but without any

The Galaxy A70s is getting ever closer to an official launch, as the user manual for the upcoming device has now been published online on Samsung's website. Samsung has lumped the A70s with the Galaxy A50 and Galaxy A70 in a single manual, which is perhaps a good decision as the three devices look exactly the same and offer mostly the same software features as well. Oddly, the Galaxy A50s gets a separate user manual despite being quite similar to the Galaxy A50, so there's probably no rhyme or reason at work here. And, as you would expect, the Galaxy A70s user manual reveals nothing about the hardware upgrades we can expect it to bring over the Galaxy A70. Going by the differences between the Galaxy A50 and A50s, the A70s is unlikely to have anything but higher-resolution cameras to show for it, and reports have suggested a 64-megapixel rear camera will be the primary highlight. The design will also be upgraded to include a new '3D Prism' effect like the Galaxy A50s

Are you a Galaxy Note 10 owner residing in India? Are you looking for a pair of wireless headphones other than the Galaxy Buds to go along with your flagship phone?
