[ad_1] According to Microsoft’s Roberto Bojorquez, the new RCS functionality is available “starting with” the Galaxy S20, suggesting the feature will work with other Samsung devices (and perhaps other Android phones) in the future. The integration comes as part of Samsung and Microsoft’s ongoing partnership, which has in the past seen the South Korean company […]

The Galaxy Z Flip’s glass screen isn’t very durable

[ad_1] Nelson went so far as to suggest that Samsung wasn’t using real glass, speculating that it might be a glass-polymer hybrid. This struck him as misleading — if you describe a display as glass, shouldn’t it behave like glass? It may be more complicated than that, however. In a response to Engadget, Samsung reiterated […]

After Math: Stunning figures | Engadget

[ad_1] I’m disappointed in you, Puerto Rico. Getting snookered for seven figures by a run-of-the-mill phishing scam is the sort of behavior I’d expect from Florida, but you should know better. It make have taken a decade but WhatsApp hit a major milestone, crossing 2 billion registered users. The company also took a moment to […]

Love at first fold: 24 hours with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip

[ad_1] Things I already love Even after just a relatively short time with the Z Flip, when I use my Pixel, it feels weird that I can’t fold it shut. I even find myself trying to bend my Pixel, my fingers itching to fold the Z Flip like they’re searching for a phantom fidget spinner. […]

Galaxy Z Flip teardown video looks inside Samsung’s latest foldable

[ad_1] Unsurprisingly, whatever Samsung learned across two versions of the Galaxy Fold appears to have been valuable in making the Z Flip. While there’s still a lot of parts inside and quite a bit of glue, it’s considerably more repairable, with many parts accessible simply by removing the back covers. The Galaxy Z Flip’s special […]

Samsung’s jailed union-busting chairman steps down

[ad_1] All of these actions took place in 2013, when Lee Sang-hoon was Samsung’s chief financial officer. He was appointed chairman in March 2018, when Samsung split the chairman and CEO roles for the first time. The company thought that decision would increase transparency following a bribery scandal that involved Samsung heir Lee Jae-yong, better […]

Engadget Podcast: Breaking down the Samsung fest and MWC mess

[ad_1] A bunch of things in tech got the proverbial nails slammed into their coffins this week. Andy Rubin’s Essential phone company shut down, MWC got canceled due to fears over coronavirus and the Motorola Razr folding flip phone is pretty likely dead on arrival thanks to Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip. Cherlynn is joined […]

Samsung makes too damn many phones

[ad_1] At the same time, Samsung broke tradition. Instead of phasing out last year’s flagships, it’s cutting the prices for the S10s, so they now start at $599 instead of $899.99. That means you can continue to buy the S10e, S10 and S10+, which are still great phones. In fact, the company’s Senior Manager of […]

The Galaxy Home Mini is finally available, but most people can’t get it

[ad_1] This is the latest in a long line of strange developments for a device that has seemed at times destined to become vaporware. Samsung first announced the Galaxy Home at its Note 9 event in 2018. Following an appearance at CES 2019, the company didn’t share new information about the speaker until it announced […]

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip hands-on: Razr who?

[ad_1] That brings me no particular pleasure to write, by the way — Motorola has a long track record of great phones, and the Razr is a pretty astonishing first attempt at a foldable.
