Samsung Is Trying Really Hard Not to Call These Phones ‘Rose Gold’

Samsung has released a new, pinker version of the flagship Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. But don’t call them Rose Gold—that’s Apple’s color! Instead, they are something totally different called “Pink Gold.” In case you’re wondering what makes Pink Gold different from Rose Gold, or indeed, just regular pink, Samsung has taken two paragraphs to…

Samsung Chases The Surface With Galaxy TabPro S

Apple is the innovator and Microsoft is the imitator. That’s long been the prevailing narrative, but with the Surface and the Surface Book, things changed. The Microsoft Surface Book has a really neat hinge, and the Surface is the first 2-in-1 to not suck. It’s so good that Apple even aped it, with middling results.…

Samsung Thinks Electrocuting Your Inner Ear Will Make VR Better

An immersive experience is the name of the game in virtual reality, but how far are you actually willing to go? Samsung thinks making you feel seasick by electrocuting your inner ear is a good idea, and actually, it might be onto something. The Entrim 4D headphones are a project cooked up by Samsung’s C-Lab,…

The New VR Coaster at Six Flags Is the Future of Vomiting

Samsung Galaxy S7 Review: Inching Toward Perfection

Samsung fucks up. A lot. Snooping smart TVs, insane VR demos—you name it. Even its most cherished gadget—the Galaxy smartphone—has seen its share of flaws. But with the seventh iteration of the Galaxy S, Samsung inches ever closer to a perfect smartphone. I don’t use the term lightly. There’s something positive to be said about…

How Durable Is the Galaxy S7 Edge?

The short answer is: quite.

Samsung’s 16TB SSD Is Now an Actual Thing People Can Buy

Last year, Samsung made the rest of the world feel mighty inadequate by announcing a world-record 16TB SSD. Turns out that was more than just talk—Samsung is shipping drives to (very wealthy) customers today. Making the largest-capacity drive/SD card/memory stick is a continual dick-measuring contest that most storage manufacturers engage in, routinely announcing “world first”…

Your Next Phone Might Have 256GB of Storage Thanks to Samsung’s New Chip

I love high capacity things. So when Samsung announced it’s producing 256 GB flash storage that can be used in mobile devices, I swooned. The memory is two times faster than the previous generation of Universal Flash Storage (UFS) memory, meaning that phones will not only have greater storage capacities, but also breeze reading and…

Samsung’s Gear 360 Camera Wants to Make Everyone a VR Creator

It’s a common story in technology. Hardware always develops faster than the content enjoyed on it.
