Samsung’s upcoming S22 Ultra has allegedly been leaked, although we are not sure whether it will be called that when launched, the device, if launched - may spell the end for the Note series entirely - in name only at least, but some rumors also state that this device could be named the Note 22 so as for now take the whole naming scheme with a grain of salt. As for the leaks, they certainly do seem to point at a more squared off chassis which is a common feature of Note devices in the past. Like the Note 20, the Stylus has moved to the left and the internal specs are still not released as of yet. But even if the note name is absorbed into the “Ultra” naming scheme, there won’t be much to miss as it will be a fully fledged stylus unlike the S21 implementation of the external stylus.

In the modern world, our digital lifestyles have allowed us to basically link all aspects of our day to day functions from banking to browsing to devices we trust the most - our smartphones. Although most top tier manufacturers offer out-of the box security in the form of dedicated authenticators and system security, a small percentage of people may require the need for something better- something more secure, to address this , several smartphone companies have been set up to create new "hardedned" smartphones with software firewalls and special security systems while others build upon existing platforms - modifying the software in order to meet its requirements. The new Sirin V3, by Sirin Labs is one such example of an existing smartphone modified to meet higher levels of security. The device, built upon an existing Samsung Galaxy S21 (So you still get the same 6.2" 1080x2400 SAmoled display and either a selection of  Exynos 2100/Snapdragon 888 SOC , 8GB RAM and 128GB s...

Samsung has re-anounced its Galaxy Note 7  handset as the Note FE ..the Note 7 , launched last year was probably one of the best devices launched at the time but due to a series of accidental combusion events , the whole series was discontinued and all devices were recalled for evaluation . The phone , which was known to have a battery issue due to a metal contamination in the Lithuim cell ,was responsible for causing some financial dammages during the whole sage . The new phone , basically designed on top of the same Note 7 chassis except for the Battery (a 3200 mAh battery now sits on the handset instead of the 3500 mAh one ) is expected to sell at a somewhat reasonable cost of about $520 . The device will still feature the S-Pen , Snapdragon 820 processor , 4GB of Ram and 64GB internal storage and of course the gorgeous 5.7" 2560x1440 SAMOLED display . The phone is expected to make out in limited badges of about 300,000 first in South Korea and followed possibly with a fe...

Rumors and leaks about Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S7 is all the rave in the technology world right now .The next gen flagship smartphone , a successor to the popular Galaxy S6 series will incorperate new features , a bigger battery and a incremental design upgrade over the current metal and glass unibody design . Although the S7 will look much squarer in design (Samsung seems to run a bi-annual square and round design phase ) the design will still pack a premuim finish incorperating metal and glass (sorry no replacable batteries) in a tight unibody that ,according to new rumors from @evleaks is said to be water resistant with a IP 67 rating (the S5 had a similar rating ) .The design is also said to incorperate a 3000 mAh battery in the normal S7 model while the S7 Edge will have a slightly beefier 3600 mAh battery -a major update over the woefully inadequate 2550 and 2600 mAh batteries found in the S6 and S6 edge .

Samsung's has unveiled their latest iteration of the Galaxy Gear line of smartwatches today , the new watch , named the Galaxy Gear S2 ,brings a end to the squarish designs of the past .The new smartwatch or let's say "watches" as Samsung has a more premium model called the Galaxy Gear S2 classic are both based on Samsung's own in house OS - Tizen . The S2 and S2 classic are both set to be available with bluetooth+wifi and Bluetooth+wifi and cellular 3G connectivity so you can use the watch as a independent unit without getting a tethered android device (tethering requires a Android device running Android 4.4 and a device with atleast 1.5GB of RAM) design wise both models have a 1.2" circular AMOLED display, a 1 GHz processor and a rotatable bezel to select through menus. NFC is available on all models for mobile payments Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 and S2 Classic This is basically Samsung's more affordable sports option. The watch is almost iden...

The S-Pen stylus on the Galaxy Note series is probably the main reason why the product line is popular in the first place , the S-Pen ,along with the added features of the Note software made pulling a digital stylus out enjoyable once again ,but apparently the experience is not so great for some Galaxy Note 5 owners as the new model has a issue that will get the stylus stuck in its silo if you insert it the wrong way . The new S -Pen , a digital stylus which uses a Waycom digitizer is also equipped with a spring loaded action which once pressed releases the pen from the silo , earlier models of the Note line featured a fingernail pull out (queue the "thats what she said jokes) tab that worked without any issues even if it was inserted the wrong way . If the new S-Pen is inserted the wrong way , the spring section of the pen gets trapped in the S-Pen proximity sensor which might get destroyed if the owner decides to use brute force to pull the trapped pen out -rendering your prec...

Samsung has unveiled a large screen phablet version of their Galaxy S6 Edge today , the phone ,known simply as Galaxy S6 Edge+ brings a curved unibody design and a premium price for the 5.7" behemoth . The Edge+ , launched along side the flagship Note5 smartphone  the phone sits in the boundary between the Galaxy S lineup and the large screened Note lineup as it has a somewhat lower price and almost identical specs as the Note except for the S-Pen . The display on the phone is a 5.7" SAMOLED panel with a resolution of 2560x1440p and 518ppi , the curved display will surely be a bit of a gimmick but the curve helps with the natural finger swipes as it glides smoothly opposed to running over a hindrance like a bezel or a edge found on rival products . The Edge+ comes with the Exynos 7420 , the same Soc found on its sibling - the Note5 , this processor is clocked to 2.1 Ghz and it has 4GB of RAM to support Cameras on the Edge+ are almost identical to other Samsung f...

Samsung has unveiled its fifth iteration of its most popular phablet smartphone - The Samsung Galaxy Note today , launched along side the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus , the Note 5 brings Samsung's new unibody construction and tried and tested S-Pen features in a somewhat compact 5.7" . First look at the device shows us that the new Note 5 is a completely different animal compared to the previous generations , all previous models of the Note lineup featured utilitarian builds and removable back panels with removable batteries and somewhat hot swappable MicroSD cards - two features that are now absent in the Note 5 , but instead of a cheap feeling plastic build (apart from the Note 4) the new phone feels more up market and definitely worth a bit of a premium . Curved metal Edges surround the device and this can be spec'ed in Gold/bronze or silver according to your liking , machine drilled holes give access to the MicroUSB 2.0 port ,the speaker and of course Samsungs S-Pen ...

Alleged Note 5  Samsung is set to announce two big screened devices tomorrow - The Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 , the two devices - spawned from the unibody design language which started from the Galaxy S6 series has finally managed to take hold of all flagship device and therefore  these devices are set to omit regular Samsung features including a removable battery and even a MicroSD card. Although many of you regard this as blasphemy , removing these features is probably set to happen someday so might as well get over it now . Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + Think of this as Samsung's answer to the iPhone 6 Plus , the giant phone is basically a blown up version of the Galaxy S6 Edge which is making waves in the current mobile marketplace . Placed next to this iPhone 6  Plus , we can see that the Edge plus is quite a big boned fellow as it has a 5.67" 2560x1440 SAmoled display along with curved edges which gives it quite a unique look .
