One thing I really like about Samsung's touchwiz is the ability to add a theme without having to root your device or flash a rom. For the past few years OEMs like Samsung and HTC have been including this ability in their stock software. Samsung's stock theme engine has attracted some very...

A few of the top OEMs have been adding value to the purchase of your new smartphone these days by throwing in some free stuff.

In the past those needing to return their Galaxy phones would also need to return their free accessories or else pay for them. It looks like Samsung has changed their stance on this. There have been so many manufacturer defects with the device including a red tint in the display due to the...

Months after Samsung updated all other variants of the Galaxy S7 Edge we are finally seeing the Nougat update roll out to unlocked devices state side. It is kind of unfortunate that Samsung took so long to get the unlocked version updated. This has been a huge pain point for many users of the...

It seems like we are getting closer and closer to a future where we are no longer required to drive our cars. Google and Tesla seem to have the lead when it comes to self driving car technology. Samsung would like to get in on the action as well. They have already been testing their own self...

Zack of JerryRigEverything is known best for his bend and scratch torture tests. Before he was famous bending phones he was known for random projects. One of my favorite older projects was when Zack built a wireless charger into his desk. Yesterday he released one of these projects. In this...

The Red tint issue in the Galaxy S8 seems to be much more widespread than previously thought. The cause of the red tint is due to Samsung's rush to get the phone to market without taking time to properly configure some of the displays. The phones in question have a red tint stemming from a white...

The Galaxy S8's design is it's claim to fame. Everyone seems to be in love with the curved edges and the all new infinity display, but even with all of the glowing reviews improvements can always be made. DBS Designing has just released their concept art for the Note 8 and it makes some much...

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ have not been out for long but already have TWRP. Unfortunately this is only available for the Exynos variants of the devices. With TWRP you will be able to root the phone as well as flash Roms and other mods. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ do have dm-verity so you will need to...

Even though Samsung had previously confirmed that the Note lineup is not going anywhere there have been rumors that the Note 8 won't be a thing. The fact that Samsung decided to release a plus model Galaxy S8 has some people afraid that there is no longer a need for a new Note device. Samsung...

Just a few days after the release of the Galaxy S8 and S8+ we have some major issues to contend with. However none of them are as reputation killing as what we saw with the Note 7 last year which is a plus. We reported last week that many users especially in Korean markets were noticing a Red...

I have been using the Galaxy S8 for the past several days. Even though the phone has just a 3000mah battery I have found that I can generally get a full days use out of the phone. That being said there are some changes you can make to your device in the way you set it up to get the very most out...

One thing that is great about the Galaxy S8 is the fact that it gives you so many options to secure your device. There are all the traditional options such as PIN, Password, or gesture. Samsung also has a few biometric options with the fingerprint scanner and the iris scanner. They have even...
