If you were disappointed by the modest upgrades found on the recently launched iPad Pro (2022), then 2024’s iPad releases could be what you’re waiting for, as it might be the year we see Apple's first foldable iPad. That’s according to The Elec(opens in new tab) (via Apple Insider(opens in new tab)), which claims that during a recent meeting with suppliers, Samsung said that it expects Apple to launch its first foldable devices in 2024 – but that these will initially be tablets or notebooks, rather than smartphones.

Samsung Electronics refreshed its environmental strategy, earmarking more than KRW7 trillion ($5 billion) for green initiatives by 2030, targeting net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and joining RE100, a global renewable energy initiative. The company stated the investment will go to researching new technologies to develop energy-efficient products, increase water reuse and foster carbon capture techniques.

It’s been a pretty big week for hackers. Both Plex and LastPass were hit by a data breach, and security researchers uncovered a phishing campaign with over 130 corporate targets. Now, Samsung is notifying customers of its own data breach, which exposed customers names, addresses, and other personal information.

We’re entering new territory in the walled garden earbud wars: to get the very best audio quality from Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, you need to use them with a Samsung phone. It was always going to come to this.

I have a confession: I’m not really into tablets. The last one I bought was in 2012, and I think my cat technically owns it now. They feel too much like a neither-here-nor-there device to me — too underpowered to do computer stuff, too big and cumbersome to do phone stuff. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 tricked me into liking a tablet.

A chip expert who worked for Apple for nine years has left the company to join rival Samsung, Business Korea reports. Kim Woo-Pyeong, according to the report, worked for Apple since 2014 after working for Texas Instruments and Qualcomm in prior years.

In brief: Samsung is improving its GDDR6 portfolio with a new module capable of data transfer rates of 24Gbps per pin. This is mostly aimed at high-end graphics cards and AI accelerators, but the company will also be making low-power variants for other applications.

Samsung's midrange M-series was upgraded earlier this year, and we got our hands on the Galaxy M53 after covering its A-series counterpart a couple of months ago. We did say 'upgrade' in the previous sentence, but is it really? Let's go over the specs to see where it stands on paper.

Just like other Samsung devices, the Galaxy S22 also comes with bloatware. Let's take a look at how to remove bloatware without root access.

Samsung has just reached its highest global smartphone market share in five years. In April 2022, Samsung was the best-selling ...

Google and Samsung have partnered to create Health Connect, a platform and API (application programming interface) that gives developers a toolset to sync users’ health data between Android apps and devices.

A Korean report this morning points to display supplier BOE being set to supply Apple with up to 50 million OLED displays for iPhone 14 or 20-25% of the total of displays needed. If true, that would be a major win for BOE. Additionally, Korea's IT Home report pointed to a tweet by Ross Young posted yesterday, as presented below, confirming that Samsung would be the exclusive supplier for one key iPhone model, the iPhone 14 Pro (and not the Pro Max).

Samsung Electronics flagship Galaxy S22 smartphone has taken a battering from reports of hobbled performance and has seen carriers halve its price at home in South Korea just weeks since its launch, hurting its image as an iPhone rival.

The Lapsus$ data extortion group leaked today a huge collection of confidential data they claim to be from Samsung Electronics, the South Korean giant consumer electronics company.

Samsung is once again in hot water over how it treats benchmark apps. This time, the company is accused of throttling 10,000 Android apps—but not benchmark apps. It sounds like the scheme OnePlus was caught running last year. Instead of boosting the SoC speeds when a benchmark app is running, Android OEMs are now turning down phone performance any time a benchmark app isn't running. It's like benchmark cheating but in reverse.
