Samsung Galaxy S to S20: Looking back at Samsung's flagship lineup
Samsung's Galaxy S series is the most influential Android lineup of all time. Before the Galaxy S21's release, let's take a trip down memory lane.
The Samsung Galaxy S21 series is right around the corner. Samsung is all geared up to take the wraps off the next generation in its premier flagship lineup, the Galaxy S series. With the eventual fate of the Galaxy Note lineup up in the air, the Galaxy S series becomes the principal driving force of Samsung's Android smartphone efforts in the conventional candy-bar form factor. The Galaxy S series has been the recipient of the South Korean company's mainstream innovation on both the hardware and software fronts. And so, before we take a step forward towards the future with the Galaxy S21, it's worth taking a look back at how the Galaxy S lineup evolved to become one of the most anticipated smartphone releases in any given year.
Samsung sends out weird "1" Find My Mobile notification to Galaxy users worldwide
In a weird turn of event, Samsung's Find My Phone app is sending a mysterious "1" notification to Galaxy device users worldwide.
Back in July last year, OnePlus sent out suspicious-looking notifications to OnePlus 7 Pro users, leading them to believe that OnePlus may have been hacked. The company quickly clarified that the notifications were just part of internal testing for the Android 10 update and were accidentally sent out to all users. In a statement regarding the matter, OnePlus also said that they were implementing a new process to ensure such an incident didn't happen again. It seems like Samsung didn't take a leaf from OnePlus' notebook, as the company has inadvertently sent out a similar notification to its users worldwide.
Future Galaxy S20 update may enable 120Hz refresh rate at QHD+ resolution
Samsung is currently in the process of optimizing software to enable a 120Hz refresh rate at QHD+ resolution and could release it to the Galaxy S20 series.
High refresh rate displays are all rage nowadays. The feature that was once limited to gaming-oriented phones has been steadily trickling down to more mainstream devices lately. From the top-of-the-line flagship to the affordable mid-range, itâs quickly becoming commonplace. One of the latest phones to launch with a high refresh display is Samsungâs Galaxy S20 lineup which features a 120Hz panel across the range. But one drawback with a higher refresh rate is the increase in battery draw. In the case of the Galaxy S20 series, it also packs a QHDâ+ resolution display which combined with the high display refresh rate could potentially result in even higher battery consumption. To avoid excessive power consumption, Samsung chose to restrict the 120Hz high refresh rate to 1080p resolution only, and make it unavailable at QHD+.
Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro is a rugged phone with removable battery
The Samsung Galaxy Xcover Pro is a new rugged device by Samsung which aims to withstand abuse, water, dust... and it also has a removable battery!
Samsung's Galaxy line of smartphones is one that is very diverse. Over time, just like any other manufacturers, they've greatly evolved their design language to adapt to current trends. For the most part, though, this design language resembles closely what other smartphone manufacturers keep doing: either glass-aluminum sandwiches or shiny plastic phones that resemble these glass-aluminum sandwiches, with the rare occurrence of a fully aluminum-clad device here and there. For those folks that are not fond of these designs and the feature removal brought on by them, the Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro may be attractive.
Samsung Galaxy Chromebook has a 4K display and 10th Gen Intel Core i5
The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook is Samsung's newest foray into the Chrome OS ecosystem, and it is a high-end offering. Check it out!
The market for high-end Chromebooks is currently small, yet it could be a significant one in the future. Right now, the major player in high-end Chromebooks is Google, makers of Chrome OS, itself. Most Chromebooks on the market feature mid to low range specs and affordable pricing, whereas the Pixelbook and the Pixelbook Go are two Chrome OS-based devices can carry as much processing power as a high-end Windows laptop. Whether you need that amount of power in your Chromebook is highly debatable, though. Samsung is also planning to enter this market segment with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, so at least you'll have alternatives to choose from.
aodNotify toggles the AOD when you get a new notification on Samsung Galaxy phones
aodNotify enables the Always On Display as soon as a notification hits the panel. Once the notifications are cleared, the app automatically turns AOD off.
There are a few reasons why someone might not want to pick up a Galaxy S10 or other Galaxy phone off the shelf. There are some complaints that the general Android community has about the devices, but one considerable reason for not picking them up, at least for me personally, is the lack of a notification LED.
Samsung Galaxy phones reportedly depreciate in value faster than other brands
According to a report, Samsung Galaxy phones depreciated quicker in value compared to other brands as well as iPhones. Read on to know more!
Value depreciation is a phenomenon that affects all products, causing them to lose value over time even if they aren't used, but especially if they are used. With smartphones, value depreciation is accelerated by the launch of new phones from the same OEM (hardware obsolescence), competing phones from other OEMs, release of new software, as well as physical wear and tear from use. As soon as you purchase a device and unbox it, it begins losing value, as you will not get the same pricing on the phone if you tried to sell it or trade it in. Even looking out of the context of resale after use, phones sold directly from the OEM also depreciate in value simply because technology keeps on moving forward, making the unsold product more obsolete every minute.
Samsung Galaxy J7 Duo launches in India with Dual Cameras and Android Oreo
Samsung has launched the Galaxy J7 Duo in India. The phone has a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display, an Exynos 7 series octa-core processor, and dual 13MP + 5MP rear cameras. The phone ships with Android Oreo.
In recent months, Samsung has been facing stiff competition from Xiaomi in the Indian smartphone market. In Q4 2017, Xiaomi overtook Samsung to become the largest smartphone vendor in India. The company's Redmi series has sold very well in India, with the Indian Redmi Note 5, Redmi Note 5 Pro, and Redmi 5 all proving popular. In January, Samsung released the Galaxy On7 Prime in the lower mid-range price segment, but the phone did not have competitive specifications and it failed to distinguish itself. Now, the company is back with another phone release: the Galaxy J7 Duo.
