Samsung's Galaxy-branded smartphones and tablets have been lacking a feature that many other Android devices, especially from Chinese brands, had for years. We are talking about the real-time network speed indicator displayed in the status bar, now available for Galaxy users via the QuickStar module in Samsung's Good Lock customization app. Samsung users could get a real-time network speed indicator on their Galaxy phone, but it required a third-party app...

Now there’s also an additional €20 discount at checkout – that’s not much, but the phone only just launched. The €20 discount is available on the 256GB variant too, but since that costs €700, it doesn’t make sense. OnePlus 15R €100 off +... Read more ›
