Galaxy Owners Can Now Tap Phones, Debit Cards to Pay Each Other

Samsung announced a new P2P payment method for Samsung Wallet users this morning, with one feature in particular catching our eye.

Google’s Desktop Mode for Pixel Devices Still in Works

We’re sure that a few Pixel owners have been hoping for a DeX-like feature from Google for some time. Samsung gave users a true desktop mode many years ago, and honestly, it’s somewhat surprising it has taken Google this long to nail it down. However, I was happy to learn late last week that Google

Google Voice Update Adds Redesigned Call Interface, Forgets Again to Bring RCS

A fresh update is on the way to Google Voice that introduces both 3-way calling and “an overall enhanced, redesigned in-call user interface.” Unfortunately, Google has still not enabled RCS in Google Voice, and at this point we assume they never will.

Samsung Mentions New Foldables, Galaxy Watch With ‘Innovative Design’ During Earnings Call

Innovative is not a word I would use to describe the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s design. I have never been quiet about my dislike of the watch’s hardware, wishing it was more “premium” looking like we see from the competition (Apple Watch Ultra), instead of a honking G-Shock-like wearable that tried to copy, albeit rather badly,

Samsung Slaps $230 Off Galaxy S25 Ultra Without Trade-in

Samsung reported its Q1 earnings last night and said that they had a pretty good quarter, thanks to strong demand for the Galaxy S25 series. I don’t think that is all that surprising, as the S25 series is quite good, the specs are still up there with the best, and the software received One UI
