[ad_1] Samsung didn’t say what the problems were, exactly, but the Galaxy S20 Ultra indeed has a very advanced camera with a 108-megapixel sensor. It also packs a phase-detect system that’s supposed to make autofocus (AF) quicker and more accurate. However, reviewers have found that it’s slow and in some cases inaccurate, yielding out-of-focus photos. […]

Samsung finally adds period tracking to its Health app
[ad_1] It’s about time Samsung added the capability. Apple, Fitbit, Garmin and many third-party apps already offer period tracking. A quick scroll through Samsung forums shows that users have been calling for this addition for years. Many have questioned why women’s health was not more of a priority. As Engadget’s Nicole Lee has pointed out, […]
Samsung Galaxy S20 is the first phone certified for USB fast charging
[ad_1] In order for fast chargers to work as intended, they need to deliver power at the specific voltage and current required by the device, and both the charger and handset need to be able to communicate, The Verge explains. If they can’t do this, the charger and phone will default to a lower charging […]
Samsung’s new chips usher in smartphones with 16GB of DRAM
[ad_1] On top of boosting the memory of upcoming smartphones, it’ll make them faster as well, thanks to the LPDDR5’s 5,500 Mbps (687.5 MB/s) speeds, about 30 percent quicker than 4,266 Mbps 8GB LPDDR4X chips.

Samsung temporarily shuts down phone factory following coronavirus case
[ad_1] Chip and display factories across South Korea aren’t affected, Samsung said. Gumi isn’t far from Daegu, the heart of the current outbreak in the country. The Gumi plant makes higher-end handsets primarily destined for the South Korean market, but they include foldable phones like the Galaxy Z Flip and Galaxy Fold. That could pose […]

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip review: Admire it, don’t buy it
[ad_1] Practically speaking, there are only two notable shortcomings. First, its resolution: at 2636×1080, it’s far less pixel-dense than a Galaxy S20, but you’ll probably never notice the difference unless your nose is pushed up against the screen. The other is that, presumably because of its odd, 21.9:9 aspect ratio, some apps don’t scale to […]
Galaxy Buds+ review: Samsung finally has a worthy AirPods alternative
[ad_1] On iOS, the Galaxy Buds+ don’t sync with notifications and Samsung’s Gaming Mode for the earbuds isn’t available. It may seem like using these new buds with an iOS device is limited, but trust me, it’s a lot better than it used to be. Just having a dedicated app is a huge improvement. It’s […]
Samsung says the Galaxy Z Flip will be back in stock on Friday
[ad_1] Last week Samsung announced and almost immediately released its foldable Galaxy Z Flip, but only in “limited” quantities that dried up almost as soon as they appeared, unless you spot one in a store somewhere. Now Samsung says that tomorrow, on February 21st it will make more of the $1,380 devices available online, coincidentally […]
The Galaxy Z Flip’s hinge fibers aren’t enough to keep dust out
[ad_1] We’ve asked Samsung for comment. iFixit is planning to publish a full teardown in the early hours of February 19th that might shed more light. The Z Flip does have water-resistant circuitboards, at least, so it’s less likely to die if you’re unfortunate enough to spill water on your $1,380 pride and joy. This […]
