Get the Samsung Galaxy S9/S8/Note 8 Edge Screen feature on any Android phone
Samsung's Edge Screen feature from the Samsung Galaxy S9, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and Samsung Galaxy S8 has been ported to any Android device.
Samsung introduced curved edge displays to their phone lineup starting with the Galaxy Note Edge, a phone that was sold in limited quantities. The Edge display became mainstream with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge in 2015. With the Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and Samsung Galaxy S9, every Samsung flagship device now has a curved display. The Edge display was also accompanied by the Edge Screen feature, which a developer has replicated to work on any Android device.
How a graphics driver bug on the Samsung Galaxy S6 leaked Google Chrome tab data
Ever wonder how security vulnerabilities are found? UK based firm GraphicsFuzz explains how they came across a graphics driver bug on the Samsung Galaxy S6 that they could exploit to see data from opened tabs in Google Chrome.
Back in late March, a U.K. based start-up firm specializing in testing GPU reliability approached us with a GPU bug they discovered that causes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ to reboot when visiting a web page. The firm, called GraphicsFuzz, worked with us to report the issue to Qualcomm and Samsung. Some of our readers were interested in learning just how a company like GraphicsFuzz is able to find these vulnerabilities, so we collaborated with the company to showcase how they discovered an older GPU vulnerability. This already-patched vulnerability allowed an attacker to remotely "spy" on the contents of Google Chrome browser tabs on the Samsung Galaxy S6.

By now, it's been a long wait for owners of Samsung Galaxy flagship smartphones waiting to receive the Android Oreo update. Android 8.0 Oreo was released in August 2017, but it took Samsung two months just to start an official beta program for the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+. We explored in depth all of the new features of Samsung Experience 9.0 for the Galaxy S8, and after multiple beta updates and months of testing, the company finally started rolling out the stable Oreo update to the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+.
