8K video recording is a great idea, even if you don’t have an 8K TV

Samsung’s recently announced S20 phones can record 8K video. There are rumors that upcoming cameras from Canon and Sharp will be able to do the same, and the number of devices that record in 8K will only grow in the coming years. Today cameras and phones are mostly recording in 1080p however, and with 4K TVs only recently becoming affordable, …

Samsung Galaxy S20 worth the upgrade? It depends on the camera and battery life

“Whoa. This is the Galaxy S20 Ultra?” I was so surprised, I said it aloud. Samsung’s Unpacked event was the first time I got my hands on Samsung’s biggest and baddest Galaxy S20 device.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is a beautiful phone, until you touch it

On Tuesday at the Samsung Unpacked event in San Francisco, the new Galaxy Z Flip was announced. The phone, which has an ultra-thin glass screen, folds in half to form a perfect square kind of like the Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP.

Get a refurbished Samsung Galaxy S9 for $235

When Samsung announced the Galaxy S20 lineup earlier this week, I made the case for considering the Galaxy S10 instead. That previous-generation model is about to get a price cut, and you can already get it pretty cheap if you’re game for a refurb. OK, but let’s go back another generation.

Apple’s rumored 5G iPhone could have a homemade antenna

Apple is reportedly designing its own antenna for the rumored 5G iPhone that could hit shelves in 2020.

Samsung Galaxy S20 8K resolution video capture: Should you care?

One of the coolest-sounding features of Samsung’s new Galaxy S20 line of phones is the ability to capture video in 8K resolution. That’s four times the capture resolution of the Galaxy S10 and the Apple iPhone 11 for example, which both max out 4K video, and 16 times as much as HD. Sounds like a lot, right? Maybe you’re thinking …
