Galaxy Note 10’s screen recording feature isn’t part of new Galaxy S10 update

Image
The latest Galaxy S10 update is an important one, as it levels the playing field between Samsung's two flagship lines as far as software features are concerned. The update brought a slew of Galaxy Note 10 features to the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+, including pretty much every camera feature  and support for Samsung DeX on PC. However, one Note 10 feature that hasn't arrived with the update is the ability to record the screen. When we first wrote about the update in question, one of our screenshots from an updated Galaxy S10 showed a quick toggle called  Screen recorder,  leading some of our readers to wonder why they didn't see the toggle on their S10e/S10/S10+. Rest assured that Samsung isn't playing favorites here (not that we would mind if they did). That particular shortcut in the quick toggles comes from a third-party app, and the confusion was created by the fact that Samsung's inbuilt screen recording functionality on the Galaxy Note 10/10+ h

Samsung Finance+ will provide customers in India financing for phones

Image
India is one of Samsung's most lucrative markets and the company has now launched a new initiative to boost sales in the country. Developed as part of its "made in India" initiative, Samsung Finance+ is a digital lending platform which will provide customers with financing options for phones. Some 450 million adults in India don't have a credit history which means finance options for them are very limited. Samsung's intention with this platform is to make it easier for those customers to get financing for a device that they want to purchase. This move has the potential to significantly increase Samsung's customer base in India as Samsung Finance+ will make it easier for customers without credit or debit cards and even a credit history to get financing. The company says that almost all customers who apply for finance will receive an offer on the Galaxy device of their choice. Samsung Finance+ will provide zero interest EMI options Samsung has partnered

The revamped Galaxy Fold has suffered its first display defect

Image
Display defect hasn't become quite as synonymous with the Galaxy Fold as battery fire became with the Galaxy Note 7, but there's no denying the foldable smartphone's rocky start . Samsung recalled all of the review units it sent out earlier this year and delayed the April launch due to some obvious issues . It has since launched a revamped Galaxy Fold with improved durability. This device is already out in South Korea and markets across Europe. South Koreans have particularly taken a liking to it because it sold out very quickly there . No such reports have come in from those markets as yet. It's hitting shelves in the United States tomorrow and we now have our first report of a Galaxy Fold display defect. This might just be a manufacturing defect Brian Heater over at TechCrunch is sporting a Galaxy Fold unit these days like he did when Samsung originally sent out units to reviewers in April. Even though many reviewers had issues with their units back then, his

How to set up and use Secure Folder on the Galaxy Note 10

Image
Samsung's Secure Folder is a great security feature based on the Knox platform, available on various Galaxy phones including the latest Galaxy Note 10 series. Secure Folder offers a private, encrypted space on your smartphone, allowing you to safely store private files and apps. Secure Folder is virtually a sandboxed environment. It not only allows you to secure files and apps behind a biometric authentication or lock screen but in addition to that, app data stored inside the Secure Folder will be isolated from the rest of the system and can only be accessed through the Secure Folder. For example, the screenshots below were captured on the Galaxy Note 10, and those that were made inside the Secure Folder are accessible only from the Gallery app inside the Secure Folder. How to set up and use Secure Folder on the Galaxy Note 10 Step 1: Open the apps drawer and launch Secure Folder. If the shortcut is missing from the apps drawer, drag the status bar down and tap the Secure

That ‘Galaxy A5’ you’re hearing about is likely not a commercial device

Image
A series of reports emerged online today citing 91mobiles and claiming that Samsung is working on a new entry-level Galaxy A smartphone identified by the model number SM-A015F. This is not to be confused with the SM-A105F model number which belongs to the Galaxy A10 . The report goes on to mention that the mysterious device will be cheaper than the Galaxy A10 and hit the shelves under the name of "Galaxy A5." This wouldn't make much sense considering how Samsung switched this year's Galaxy A (2019) series to a double-digit naming scheme. Don't get too excited, this might not be a real device According to the report that cites "a trusted source," the SM-A015F will be equipped with a 5.7-inch Infinity-V or Infinity-U display and sport only 16GB of internal storage. The device would be a true budget entry designed to compete with the most affordable phones on the market. With all said and done, it's time for a reality check so the big questi

Samsung set to launch the Galaxy Fold in India on October 1

Image
As reported previously , the Galaxy Fold is set to launch in India on October 1. The Korean company has sent invites to the local media outlets confirming the launch of the much-awaited device in the country next week. This makes India one of the first wave of markets to get Samsung's foldable smartphone. Budget and mid-range devices account for the bulk of the smartphone sales in India, but the sheer size of the market offers enough room for premium models as well. The previous report pegged Galaxy Fold's Indian price between Rs. 1.5 lakh (~$2120) and 1.75 lakh (~$2470), which, if true, makes it costlier than its price in other markets. We can expect Samsung to officially announce the Indian price and availability details at the event. Unlike China, Samsung is still a dominant force in the Indian smartphone market, and the company has been working hard to keep it that way. The quick launch of the Galaxy Fold in the subcontinent can be seen as part of the strategy. To rec

Hey Samsung, why not make the Galaxy Fold’s cover display more useful?

Image
I have had the good fortune of taking the Galaxy Fold with me on holiday in Egypt this week. As many of you will be aware, I have been enamored with this device ever since it was first unveiled. I was very excited to get my hands on it again and start using it as my primary device. It's been a good week. The weather is lovely and the country amazing. I've been taking pictures a lot more than I usually do because that's what you do on a holiday. So this has enabled me to really get a good sense of the photography experience on the Galaxy Fold. I am impressed with a couple of things but there's something that is just an unnecessary annoyance. Ever find yourself wishing for a larger viewfinder? It would certainly help with framing and composing the picture exactly the way you want it. While taking pictures when the device is folded is good enough as it's easy to hold, simply unfolding the device takes things to the next level. You immediately have a 7.3-inch view
