Samsung shuts down its PC-to-mobile game streaming on March 27th

[ad_1] There may be a simple explanation. Samsung has already revealed that it’s teaming with Microsoft on a game streaming experience that should debut later in 2020. It wouldn’t be surprising if Samsung saw that as more viable and decided to shut down PlayGalaxy Link to avoid duplicating efforts. Samsung’s service already faced stiff odds. […]

Samsung Galaxy S20 and S20+ review: Smaller is better

[ad_1] Performance The cameras are perhaps the biggest difference between the S20 Ultra and the S20 and S20+. All three phones pack the same Snapdragon 865 processor with 12GB of RAM. There is an upgraded Ultra with 16GB, but that’s kinda overkill when laptops usually come with between 8 and 16GB of RAM. As I […]

Foldable phones are the future, but their software is stuck in the present

[ad_1] But things are starting to change. And, thanks to new technology like folding and rolling screens, we’re starting to see different shapes emerge. The Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola Razr, for example, fold in half to become an almost-square. With the rise of dual-screen and folding devices, screen sizes could change again, along with […]

Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra is surprisingly sturdy

[ad_1] PhoneBuff, meanwhile, conducted a drop test showing that the S20 Ultra’s front and rear glass survived multiple falls with less damage than an iPhone 11 Pro Max, although Apple’s hardware fared better with side impacts (owing to the use of stainless steel versus the S20 Ultra’s aluminum) and maintaining functionality under heavy abuse. These […]

At the same time, it’l start using low-band 600MHz access that should both widen coverage and help you stay connected to 5G indoors. It’ll eventually start using 3.5GHz service as well as spectrum sharing that lets it use LTE airwaves for […]

Galaxy S20 Ultra teardown shows what’s inside that giant camera bump

[ad_1] The disassembly also shows just how little space there is for the actual chipsets once you rule out the cameras and the giant 5,000mAh battery. The spider-like circuit boards are stuffed to the gills with components, including the Snapdragon 865 processor and X55 5G modem. That might partly explain why there’s no headphone jack, […]

Samsung may introduce a Lite version of the Galaxy Tab S6

[ad_1] The apparent leak doesn’t include other details, including the launch details. However, the existing Tab S5e this likely replaces is more than a year old, and started at $399. It wouldn’t be surprising if there’s a release in the near future at a comparable price. If so, it could be a tempting option if […]

Nearly every top-selling smartphone in 2019 was an iPhone or Galaxy

[ad_1] Just where these phones dominated is another matter. It won’t surprise you to hear that Apple ruled North America, taking all of the top five slots, and took two of the top spots in Europe. In most other places, though, it’s a Samsung planet. Samsung had the most top-five phones in Europe, Latin America, […]

Galaxy S20 Ultra review: Impressive but impractical

[ad_1] Faster screens Although watching 8K videos on the S20 Ultra is silly, it’s still a lovely canvas. The cityscapes I shot looked crisp and colorful on the Ultra’s 6.9-inch screen, even in sunlight. I also enjoyed watching a couple of 4K HDR videos and endless Instagram posts about my friends’ exciting lives. Plus, the […]
