[ad_1] Some apps, like Lightroom, simply refuse to acknowledge that second, bigger screen. When you launch it, it appears in the center of this display, looking just like it does on a smartphone. (Never mind the fact that Lightroom runs admirably on regular Android tablets.) AccuWeather treats the open Fold 2 screen as a tablet […]

What to expect from Samsung’s Unpacked event next week
[ad_1] Galaxy Buds Live Let’s start with the most straightforward of the bunch: Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Live. Samsung is no stranger to true-wireless earbuds, but these are a little different from the company’s earlier attempts. For one, they’re the first Galaxy-branded buds to pack active noise cancelation, which was conspicuously absent from the Galaxy Buds+. […]
Samsung will reportedly make the next Galaxy Fold more affordable
[ad_1] Reports that Samsung was working on a Fold successor first came out in March when Bloomberg published a report that said the company was developing two new foldable display phones. One of those devices turned out to be the recently released Galaxy Z Flip. The other hasn’t been announced yet. What’s more, Bloomberg said it would fold around the […]
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 […]
Samsung appoints Roh Tae-moon as its new smartphone CEO
[ad_1] Roh, who came on board with Samsung in 1997, helped develop the Galaxy device lineup and is supposedly a stickler for engineering and design. He’ll reportedly try to bolster Samsung’s reputation for quality after it stumbled over the past few years. Under Koh, Samsung was forced to kill the flammable Galaxy Note 7 and […]
High rollers: Tell us all about your Galaxy Fold!
[ad_1] Engadget gave the Galaxy Fold a passable, but not outstanding, score of 70 due to its ongoing durability concerns, the limited usability of the outer screen and the unpolished software. It also found a spot on our worst tech of 2019 list; though all folding phones got a direct rebuke as well. However, we […]
Samsung’s Galaxy Fold Premier Service debuts in the US
[ad_1] Premiere Service also includes a discount on the first replacement for the folding screen, lowering it to $149 whether you visit specified service locations or get an expedited mail-in. You might need it, too, given that tests have suggested the inner screen might not last as long as Samsung estimates. The extra support is, […]
Watch Samsung’s Galaxy Fold fall woefully short of 200,000 folds
[ad_1] Using a machine built by SquareTrade, CNET repeatedly opened and closed the Galaxy Fold for hours on end. It held up for 119,380 folds (about 14 hours) before the screen and hinge were damaged. That’s less than the estimated 200,000 times a person would open and close the Fold over a five-year period. Of […]
Dual displays are a safer bet than folding screens
[ad_1] During my very brief hands on time with the Neo and Duo, they both felt like premium devices. Opening and closing them, in particular, was very natural. The screens moved smoothly, but there was also a satisfying amount of resistance, especially when I twisted them into a laptop-like mode. Don’t forget that Microsoft has […]
