Alongside the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra, Samsung this month announced a new pair of completely wireless earbuds. The Galaxy Buds Live may look weird, but they have all of the features and specs to compete with Apple’s AirPods ($100 at Amazon).  The Buds Live bring active noise cancellation to drown out background …

There’s an inescapable truth to the new school year: Just about every student, from grade school through college, needs their own computer thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. Through a mix of remote learning and in-person classes, sometimes with multiple children in the same family beaming into different virtual classrooms at the same time, it’s a one-device-per-person world, now, which means …

Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 3 is going head-to-head against the Apple Watch with new fitness tools, an FDA-cleared ECG app and a fall-detection feature that works a lot like Apple’s. But the execution of these features is different on each device and there’s a lot to consider when deciding between the two. If you want a deeper dive, we tested …

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 2 during a Sept. 1 Unpacked livestream, but its UK branch seems to have revealed the most important detail a few days early. The second-generation foldable phone will cost £1,799 (around $2,360), according to Android Authority, which took a screenshot of the since-deleted version of the product page. The UK site lists last year’s Samsung …

Take a look at the photo above and what do you see? Two Galaxy Note phones for power users that cost $1,000 or more, with a stylus to wield as a navigation tool, digital pen and more. You see immediate differences, too — camera mounts that look wildly different and finishes that aren’t quite the same. That’s exactly how Samsung …

Samsung’s next foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 2, was officially announced at the company’s August Unpacked event, with more details forthcoming on Sept. 1. Rumors and leaks suggest that some of our least favorite things about the original Galaxy Fold might have been eliminated — that ugly notch comes to mind — but it remains to be seen when …

Get ready for a busy week of Samsung news. On Tuesday, the company will share more details about its new Galaxy Z Fold 2 as preorders for the foldable begin. Then on Wednesday, it will unveil news it normally would have introduced at the IFA trade show in Berlin.  Instead of attending this year’s scaled-down-for-coronavirus IFA show, Samsung has opted to host its own …

Samsung is doing something different this year. While the Note line has historically been where the tech giant showcases its cutting-edge technology, it’s now become more of an alternative, rather than a improvement upon, the S20 line. The new Note 20 Ultra has the same sized 6.9-inch display as the S20 Ultra, a smaller battery and even costs $100 less. …

It’s no secret that phone-makers have been experimenting with hiding their front-facing cameras in an effort to deliver an uninterrupted display.  Last year saw Samsung launch a family of A80 phones with reversible pop-up cameras. Oppo’s Find X had a motorized pop-up selfie camera and OnePlus followed quickly behind with its own OnePlus 7 Pro ($290 at Amazon). Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Asus was …

Earlier this month, Google removed Fortnite from the Google Play Store after publisher Epic Games tried to get around the 30% fee the company charges app developers for purchases on its platform (Apple, which charges the same fee, also removed the battle royale game). The decision led Epic to file lawsuits against the tech giants while promoting the hashtag #FreeFortnite on social media.  But don’t fret, Android users, you …
