Samsung has patented a button-less foldable smartphone, and one that looks an awful lot like the leaked Galaxy Z Fold3. The patent suggests that Samsung will employ some trickery to incorporate different sized capacitive buttons, too.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE (Fan Edition) smartphone has seemingly turned up on Geekbench and in the process has revealed some component secrets. The CPU information for the likely Galaxy S21 FE points to the presence of a Snapdragon 888. However, the memory information for the listing will be somewhat disappointing for potential buyers.

Samsung and Google may have agreed to merge Tizen OS and Wear OS, but current Galaxy Watch smartwatches will be left on the older Tizen OS platform. Samsung will update the Galaxy Watch Active, Watch Active 2 and Watch 3 for at least three years from their launch date, mind you.

Specifications for one of Samsung's next flagship smartwatches have leaked. Apparently, the Galaxy Watch Active 4 will have smaller display bezels than the current model, along with a revised SoC, among other changes.

Samsung has started rolling out new updates to the Galaxy S10 series, including the Galaxy S10e. The new round of updates not only brings the Galaxy S10 series onto the May 2021 security patch, but also improves camera performance.

Samsung has added a new camera mode to the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series. The company has called the mode 'Dual Recording', which is a stripped-back version of Director's View introduced with the Galaxy S21 series.

Samsung has unveiled a new special edition of the Galaxy Watch 3, its latest smartwatch. The Galaxy Watch TOUS features some design changes compared to the regular model and was developed in collaboration with Spanish jewellery company TOUS.

The Galaxy Tab S7 Plus Lite has leaked again, but this time as the Galaxy Tab S7 XL Lite. New certification documents confirm that the 12.4-inch tablet will arrive in as at least four models, including a 5G variant.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 3 looks like it might be joining the Galaxy Z Fold 3 with S-Pen support. A recent trademark application for the Z Flip reveals that the device will include support for an electronic pen which is great news for Note fans who will miss out on a new model this year.

According to reports, Samsung's next Android tablet will be the Galaxy Tab S7 Plus Lite, or Galaxy Tab S7+ Lite for short. Setting aside its mouthful of a name, the tablet should arrive in June with a Snapdragon 750G SoC, a 12.4-inch display and in a minimum of two colours.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Quantum 2 in its native South Korea recently, and is thought to rebrand it as the Galaxy A82 5G for the rest of the world. Despite its status as a new launch, a blog has dug up evidence that it will get just 4 new security patches per year. This may have something to do with its Snapdragon 855+ SoC.

There have already been a few leaks about the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch Active 4, stylised as the Galaxy Watch Active4 and Galaxy Watch Active4. However, the sizes and model numbers of all models have leaked, offering an insight into Samsung's next premium smartwatches.

Four years after release, Samsung has finally turned off the hall lights for owners of the Galaxy S8 and S8+.

The Galaxy Note 8 and S8 Active are next in line for a similar treatment.

The prolific leaker Ice Universe has made new predictions concerning the Galaxy S22 series' Ultra variant.

The putative flagship may also drop the current central punch-hole selfie shooter for one that hides under the display.

The Galaxy S20 Fan Edition (or FE) is rumored to get a successor in 2021. Now, a Samsung store website has reportedly posted an ad for a device by a corresponding name by accident. According to this new potential tip, it also looks much like the rest of the S21 series.

Recent reports suggest that Samsung is developing an "Armor"-themed series of new design features for its next-gen mobile devices, the latest of which could be applied to rear panels, displays or both.

Samsung has issued another update to the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, and it is over 1.1 GB in size. The update addresses a few issues for the flagship while also bringing the device onto the May 2021 security patch.

Samsung is reputedly sticking with a 4,500 mAh battery capacity for this year's Galaxy S21 FE. The Galaxy S20 FE has the same capacity, but the Galaxy S21 had to settle with a 4,000 mAh battery instead. Hence, the Galaxy S21 FE may outlast the Galaxy S21 in battery life tests.

Samsung is expected to launch a Galaxy S21 Fan Edition (or FE) later in 2021. This rumor is illustrated in new renders that suggest this putative affordable flagship variant will come with a rear panel much like that of the pre-existing S21 and may come in up to 5 different colors.

Potential synthetic benchmark scores for the 2021 iPad Pro with M1 Apple Silicon have been produced based on Cupertino’s claims of 50% faster CPU and 40% faster graphics.

The popular Fan Edition (FE) variant of the Galaxy S20 series launched with 2 versions: one that is 4G-only with the Exynos 990 SoC and one with 5G and the Snapdragon 865.

A recent Geekbench 5 record has been dug up for the Sony Xperia 5 III that shows the Snapdragon 888-powered compact-ish smartphone producing very healthy results, especially over its Xperia 5 II predecessor. The Xperia 5 III outgunned powerful rivals such as the Samsung Galaxy S21+ and Asus ROG Phone 3 in the single-core and multi-core tests.

Augmented reality applications may have been boosted Apple's adoption of LiDAR sensors in iPads and iPhones. However, rumour has it that Samsung will not include 3D ToF cameras in the Galaxy S22 series. Samsung started equipping DepthVision cameras in its flagship Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series, starting with the Galaxy S10 series in 2019.

Samsung has reportedly applied to trademark the phrase "Armor Frame" in the EU, US and South Korea. Its new American IP application specifically indicates that it applies to smartphones, inviting speculation that it refers to a new engineering or design tweak for its upcoming flagships, particularly those of a foldable nature.

Samsung has launched three new gaming TVs under the QX2 series. The South Korea company sells the TVs as 55-inch, 65-inch and 75-inch models, albeit only in China for the time being. The fact that the TVs combine a native 4K resolution with a 120 Hz refresh rate and Samsung's excellent QLED technology should have all gamers interested.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra ships with an Exynos 2100 SoC in Europe and other regions, but with the Snapdragon 888 in China and North America. While the two SoCs are more or less even in terms of performance, DxOMark has shown that the Exynos 2100 model delivers worse image quality.

Evan Blass has revealed Galaxy Book marketing renders, Samsung's cut-price version of the Galaxy Book Pro and the Galaxy Book Pro 360. The cheaper model will start at under US$1,000 and will come with a Core i7 processor from Intel's Tiger Lake family. The 15.6-inch laptop appears to lack Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, though.

An alleged Geekbench record for the just-launched Sony Xperia 1 III has been shared on Reddit, showing the flagship smartphone surpassing the Samsung Galaxy S21 devices in both single-core and multi-core disciplines. The Xperia 1 III with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC completely overwhelms the Xperia 1 II with SD865.
