Posted on August 26, 2016August 26, 2016 by Adrian Diaconescu

Maybe to better appreciate the software support efforts of a few unjustly criticized Android device manufacturers, false alarms like the one issued in Netherlands earlier this week are needed.It turns out Samsung never planned to leave the summer 2014-released high-end Galaxy Tab S stranded on a desert Lollipop island, already sending over-the-air Marshmallow goodies to the LTE-enabled 10.5-inch variant in Germany.Would the rollout have ...

Customer purchases unreleased Verizon-branded Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4

Posted on January 27, 2015 by Rithvik Rao

Usually, when a mobile device sale is made at a retailer, the device being bought has been officially announced. That’s fairly common sense, you’d think, but it seems that around two months ago something oddly different happened. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S line of tablets has only come to Verizon Wireless in its 10.5-inch form factor, but eyebrows have been raised following a Verizon Galaxy Tab S 8.4 sale at a Verizon authorized retailer.What’s particularly weird is that the tablet in question actually passed through the FCC last year, but it was never officially ...

Samsung promotes Galaxy Tab S with Hunger Games tie-in

Posted on July 18, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Samsung’s latest tablets are out now, marrying high-res quad HD displays with the bold colors and deep blacks afforded by the use of OLED panels: the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and 10.5. And though these tablets may be currently available for purchase, they could use a little push to help get sales going; the delayed availability of the LTE models, and corresponding lack of carrier promotion, certainly can’t be helping. So Samsung is ...

Galaxy Tab S meltdown: too hot for its own good?

Posted on July 17, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Heat is a fact of life with many mobile devices: when we crank up the brightness on our screens full-blast, or run software that pushes all a processor’s cores into overdrive, we expect a handset to heat up in the process. Running warm may be one thing, but it’s easy to take things too far, and on the upper end of the spectrum we’re looking at glitchy operation, spontaneous power-downs, or even outright damage to hardware. New reports suggest that

Samsung tablets: more isn’t always better

Posted on June 9, 2014 by Taylor Martin

In the tablet space, Samsung is a quickly growing giant. Almost single-handed, Samsung has cut Apple’s tablet market share in half – from over 60 percent in 2012 to 30 percent in Q1 this year – while snapping up 23 percent of the global tablet share in Q1.We never had any doubt this would be the case, even with how half-baked the first two or three generations of its tablets were. Take the original Galaxy Tab, for example. It was a 7-inch knee-jerk reaction to the iPad. It ran Android, of course, ...
