Samsung bashes Chinese watches, says it’s already working on Galaxy Watch 9, 10

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-16 00:20:11

TL;DR Samsung recently compared its approach to smart wearables with Chinese fitness devices, claiming it focuses on “high quality.” It said that Chinese smartwatches offer seven to ten days of battery backup because they offer low-power components. Samsung, on the other hand, is focusing on accurate health measurement systems that are already being tested for the next two generations of the Galaxy Watch. Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 was launched just a month ago, but the company has already begu

I spent over a week with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and it’s not the foldable I wanted it to be

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-16 00:30:49

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is a good flip phone. It has Samsung's best-ever cover screen hardware, a larger and wider main display, and a surprisingly thin design. But with a disappointing choice in its chipset and truly annoying cover screen software, the Flip 7 isn't an amazing flip phone. It's a great buy for Samsung fans, but it's also not the flip phone king it could have been. For a company that basically invented (or at the very least popularized) foldable flip phones as
