Would a removable battery have solved Samsung’s Note 7 problem?
If there’s anything that this whole Samsung Note 7 debacle has taught us, it’s that making phones isn’t easy. When you think about it, Samsung, of all OEMs has had this Note 7 thing blow up in its face, literally. The really interesting part of this is this is Samsung for crying out loud. Samsung has made so many smartphones in the last decade, it should be able to literally do this in its sleep. And yet, it completely dropped the ball and screwed the pooch at the same time. No small feat.And the crazy part is, we still don’t even know why. Speculation has run rampant that this has ...

Which is why Samsung added a fingerprint sensor two years ago. So, Samsung is no stranger to biometric security, and has a pretty good biometric security feature already in place, so what’s with the iris scanner?Adding a second layer of security like this is expensive on a phone that is already just under $100 more ...

Is it time for Samsung to really innovate on the Note 7?
Samsung is set to debut its generation-skipping Galaxy Note 7 sometime this summer. This typically reflects Samsung’s large-screen compatriot to the Galaxy S phone from earlier in the year. For the last couple of years, Samsung has issued an Edge variant to the Note series at this time as well. But pretty much the main thing distinguishing the Note from the S is the S-Pen. This isn’t exactly the definition of innovation here, amirite?Further, the Edge variant of the Note last year lost the S-Pen. Add to that the fact that this year’s Galaxy Edge was .2” inches smaller than last ...
