The Galaxy Watch Active is more subtle than Samsung’s previous Galaxy Watches, and focuses more on health and fitness-related functions — more akin to the Apple Watch’s health apps. From blood-pressure monitoring to guided breathing, this watch has some really cool features. Read more…

The Galaxy S10+ is everything I expect from Samsung after a decade of refining its Android phones

The phone’s large, notch-free display is a visual treat on the eyes. Samsung’s One UI customization of Android 9 Pie is clean, fast, and responsive — exactly the way software should be. The Galaxy S10+ powers through up to two days on a single charge. The cheapest model has twice as much storage as the least expensive versions of Apple’s latest iPhones. There’s a new third camera on the backside and a second one on the front. Read more…

Samsung to build two more foldable phones, report says

TwitterFacebook

Samsung Galaxy Fold is not the only foldable phone coming from the Korean giant’s workshop. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the company is working on two more foldable phones, each with its own distinctive design. 

One of these phones will have a clamshell design — vertically folding, Razr-style — while the other will fold outwards, just like Huawei’s Mate X

According to the report, the vertically folding phone should come in late 2019 or early 2020. Samsung plans for it to have an extra screen on the outside (just like Galaxy Fold) but the design may change. The outwards-folding phone will come afterwards, and it should be thinner as it’ll have no extra screen. The devices may have an under-the-display fingerprint scanner.  Read more…
