The launch of the Galaxy S21 FE has slipped again, this time to late October.

An official Galaxy S21 FE user manual has leaked too, confirming numerous aspects about the device.

Samsung has now unveiled its two new super-premium smartphone camera sensors, the 200 MP ISOCELL HP1 and the 50 MP ISOCELL GN5. The HP1 is the world's first 200 MP CMOS sensor and offers up to 16-in-1 pixel binning, while the GN5 succeeds the GN2 used on phones like the Mi 11 Ultra.

New certifications have provided some concrete details about two of Samsung's future flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S22+ and the Galaxy S22 Ultra. For some reason, the company has decided against increasing the battery capacity of the Galaxy S22 series relative to the Galaxy S21 series. Worse still, battery capacity has even gone the other way with one device.

Samsung is set to expand its foldable display technologies to laptops. Reportedly, the company will unveil the Galaxy Book Fold 17 in Q1 2022, which the company has already teased with an Under Panel Camera.

Samsung had announced that One UI 4, an OS skin based on the upcoming Android 12 version, would become available in a preview form last month. Now, a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has been detected as running what could be this update on Geekbench 5. Therefore, the beta in question might be released soon.

Samsung has been taking pre-orders for its new Galaxy Z Fold3 and Flip3 premium smartphone in its native South Korea since August 17, 2021. The final stats for the 2 new flexible-display devices' first week of pre-orders are reportedly in. The pair have outdone both the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy Note 20 lines in this regard. The OEM has hailed the event as an "all-time high" in terms of interest in foldables.

The launch date for the Galaxy S21 FE remains up in the air but a new leak has now provided a close look at what to expect from Samsung's next premium phone. Notable takeaways include a smaller display than the Galaxy S20 FE and a sound quashing of 32 MP camera rumors.

Samsung chose to take a break from the Galaxy Note series this year, eschewing the Galaxy Note 21 in favor of the Galaxy ZFold 3 and ZFlip 3. Fans of the Note series have been looking forward to a comeback with the Galaxy Note 22 but new information calls that into doubt.

Samsung had been rumored to launch the Galaxy S21 FE during its recent major Unpacked event; however, the OEM ultimately neglected to bring the long-awaited flagship variant to the show. However, a new leak may reassure prospective buyers that it is indeed on the way, in the form suggested by previous tips.

According to a report, the Galaxy S22 Ultra may not be the camera behemoth that past rumours and leaks suggested. Instead, the reality could be more run of the mill and nothing to get excited about if you already own a Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Recent Samsung flagship smartphones stand to benefit from One UI 3.1.1, albeit not with a revision change of their OS. Instead, Samsung will bring features from the new update to the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21 and Galaxy Note 20 series, among others, via another One UI 3.1 update.

Samsung has announced that it is removing advertisements from all One UI stock apps. The change will occur later this year and will apply to services such as Samsung Music, Samsung Pay and Samsung Weather. Ultimately, they should never have been there in the first place.

Samsung will likely release the Galaxy Tab S8 series at the start of 2022, and a new leak has now revealed some more details about the next-gen premium tablet lineup.

The Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic may be running Wear OS 3 under their One UI Watch 3 UI, but you must have a Samsung smartphone to use ECG and BP functionality. The new smartwatches are also incompatible with the Wear OS app, and they will not work at all with an iPhone or a recent Huawei device.

Samsung is set to launch a new mid-range phone to compete against offerings from OnePlus and Xiaomi. This new device, the Galaxy A52s, is a refresh of the Galaxy A52 5G with a focus on better performance, and its details and specs have now leaked comprehensively.

Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy Z Fold3 will come with a pre-order ‘Note Pack’ in some countries. The latest tip suggests it will include the new S-Pen Pro and companion case as well as a charger. The latter inclusion suggests that Samsung is going to stop bundling the charger with the device.

Samsung had added a new teaser for the Galaxy S21 Fan Edition (FE) to its official Instagram account, seemingly targeting students with the upcoming affordable flagship variant. The post led to speculation that the phone would launch during the OEM's upcoming Unpacked event after all. However, the post's ultimate fate has sent mixed signals.

The Galaxy Z Fold3 is on the way. While a recently leaked comprehensive spec sheet claimed the phone would offer 8K video recording, that has now been confirmed to be false. The Galaxy Z Fold3 will not offer 8K recording, a downgrade from the cheaper Galaxy S21 in that aspect.

Samsung's entire mobile business seems to be in trouble and the Korean giant is currently investigating the cause of the sharply declining Galaxy S21 sales amplified by supply chain management problems. Maybe Samsung should first look into adjusting the prices versus the Chinese-based competition.

After leapfrogging Apple to become the second-biggest smartphone brand in the world in Q2 '21, it appears Xiaomi temporarily sat at the top of the charts. A new report by Counterpoint reveals that the Chinese company was actually the best-selling smartphone company in the world in June.

Samsung sales are declining. The company has recorded mostly negative sales metrics this year, and a new report estimates that the Galaxy S21 series has sold rather poorly, showing a 20% drop versus the S20 lineup, and a massive 47% decline when compared to the Galaxy S10 series.

While Samsung retains its traditional place as the king of the hill, the company saw a significant decline in quarterly sales, with Xiaomi, on the other hand, recording a mind-boggling 98% rise in YoY shipments on its way to toppling Apple from just beneath Samsung—all thanks to strong Redmi Note 10 and Mi 11 sales.

LineageOS 18.1 has been made available for owners of Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10 family of devices. The stock Android-like custom ROM will, however, only work with the Exynos variants of these devices at this stage, however.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold3 will be the first in the series to support the company’s famous S-Pen. Up until now, however, it has been a mystery as to how Samsung had planned to integrate the S-Pen into the Fold3 experience. A fresh leak finally reveals that like the S21 Ultra, Samsung will be relying on a new specially designed case.

While the Galaxy S21 series saw Samsung take a step back in some hardware quarters, the Galaxy S22 looks set to be a return to form, with Samsung supposedly already testing competitive charging technology on its next-gen flagship phones that should see them play on a more level field with phones like the upcoming Mi 12 and OnePlus 10 Pro.

Samsung is projected to provide a successor for the well-regarded Galaxy S20 FE at some point in 2021. According to the latest rumors, this will not fall on August 11, the date chosen for the OEM's next upcoming major product event. Therefore, an actual debut for the potentially popular mid-ranger remains uncertain at this point.

It will be a few weeks before Samsung's next-generation folding flagships arrive, but a European retailer is already listing the devices on its website. Similarly, dbrand is already taking pre-orders for Galaxy Z Fold 3 skins, and has confirmed three model colours in the process.

Samsung's 2021 Galaxy Z Fold flagship is projected to launch with the same Snapdragon 888 as its inflexible counterpart, the S21 Ultra, as sold in some regions.

This means that Exynos 2200 powered devices could potentially deliver experiences on par with current-gen consoles.

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 will offer flagship performance when it launches in a few weeks. While Motorola continues to use the Snapdragon 765G in its Razr series, Samsung has moved onto the Snapdragon 888 for the Galaxy Z Flip 3.

More details about the Galaxy Watch 4 series have leaked. According to a new report, Samsung has developed a new SoC for its upcoming Wear OS-based smartwatches that will significant performance improvements compared to the Galaxy Watch 3. The Galaxy Watch 4 series will have 50% more RAM than the Galaxy Watch 3 has, too.

Samsung has released a new video introducing some software developers to the world. However, the company has apparently overlooked the fact that one developer may have had the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Watch 4 in shot, which are both still unreleased products.
