Samsung Galaxy S10E vs. iPhone XR: two budget flagships compared

Posted: 20 Feb 2019 06:00 PM PST

Along with the new $899 Samsung Galaxy S10 and $999 Galaxy S10 Plus, Samsung is introducing a slightly more budget-friendly phone: the Galaxy S10E. While not the most surprising thing ever, following the release of Apple's popular iPhone XR in late 2018, it's encouraging that Samsung isn't entirely pushing high-end smartphones out of reach.

Both the Galaxy S10E and iPhone XR start at $749, which is probably no coincidence on Samsung's part. (That's actually a higher starting price than the $720 Galaxy S9 last year, which had a higher-res curved screen.) But whether you're focused on the design, or the specs inside, both of these phones have most of the selling points of their more expensive counterparts. Of course, there are plenty of...

Samsung’s vision of tomorrow’s phones doesn’t include the headphone jack

Posted: 20 Feb 2019 04:01 PM PST

The Galaxy Fold was the most exciting announcement at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event by a long shot. While the new S10 and its variants look like top-tier phones, it was the Fold that captured everyone's imagination. As Samsung CEO DJ Koh proudly declared at the event, the Fold "sets this industry on a new path." And apparently, it's a path that — unlike the rest of the phones Samsung announced today — doesn't include a 3.5mm headphone jack.

It's a sour note on what otherwise looks like a really interesting product. And if the Galaxy Fold is the future of Samsung's smartphones, then it might be time for users to start saying goodbye to the beloved headphone jack.

Whether or not to include a headphone jack is a decision that's painted a...

Samsung’s Galaxy Fold might only launch on two of the big US carriers

Posted: 20 Feb 2019 03:01 PM PST

Samsung's very fancy foldable phone, the Galaxy Fold, will be available on two carriers when it launches in the US in a couple months: AT&T and T-Mobile. As for everyone else? Samsung hasn't said, but for now, it sounds like the initial model of the Fold won't launch on Verizon and Sprint.

It's not clear if that means the Fold outright won't work on those two carriers, but that may be the case. Verizon and Sprint rely on a different mobile technology for their 3G networks, and it's possible the Fold just doesn't include support. Sometimes, unsupported phones can still access LTE on Verizon and Sprint, but it isn't guaranteed.

This is a particularly surprising detail given that Verizon is getting an...

How the Samsung Galaxy S10 measures up against the iPhone XS and the Pixel 3

Posted: 20 Feb 2019 02:18 PM PST

Where the Samsung Galaxy S9 phones last year felt mostly iterative, the latest S10 devices are some of the company's biggest changes yet, with the company's modus operandi being to win over customers that didn't shell out for an upgrade last year.

The latest S10 flagship phones are packing a punch — they have more RAM, larger storage options, newer Snapdragon processors, better screen resolution, and Wi-Fi 6 support. That means that for almost the same weight and dimensions, these phones should be faster and better for streaming Netflix in HD while on the go. There are three rear cameras rather than two and the S10 Plus has dual selfie cameras as well — along with a built-in Instagram mode.

While that all sounds impressive, the past...

Twitter is launching a public test of its redesigned replies

Posted: 20 Feb 2019 02:00 PM PST

In October, Twitter said it is redesigning conversations on the platform in an effort to encourage friendlier and more useful discussions. Now the company is ready to test the redesign with a wider group of users, and will take applications from anyone who wants to try it out. Users are invited to apply at this link.

The new design is intended "to make it easier to see more of what people are saying," the company says. A new rounded shape to replies makes a Twitter thread look more like text messages. Replies are also indented, giving them the appearance of a Reddit thread. Replies from people you follow appear in blue, and replies from the original tweeter are in gray.

Twitter is also experimenting with efforts to de-emphasize...

Fortnite has an exclusive K-pop skin for those who preorder the Galaxy S10 Plus

Posted: 20 Feb 2019 01:49 PM PST

Samsung made an exclusive Fortnite skin for people who buy the new Galaxy S10 Plus phone. It's K-pop-themed, and it's modeled after Jung Chan-woo, a member of South Korean boy band iKon.

You may not have heard of iKon, but just know it's a seven-member band from YG Entertainment, which also brought bands like Big Bang and 2NE1 to fame. Like their predecessors, iKon mostly performs hip-hop, from catchy ballads to more straight-up rap. Chan-woo is known as the group's youngest member, or the maknae, who's usually unofficially responsible for bringing more cuteness to a group.

The deal is exclusive to the S10 Plus, so if you're planning on getting a regular S10, you won't qualify. It feels like Samsung is trying to incentivize more mobile...

You can remap the Bixby button on Samsung’s Galaxy S10 to do whatever you want

Posted: 20 Feb 2019 01:48 PM PST

Samsung will allow buyers of its new Galaxy S10 smartphones to use the Bixby key to open whatever app they want. The Verge has confirmed that with the S10, the company has added settings that allow you to customize the button beyond what has been allowed previously. You can assign the Bixby button to open a third-party app with either a single or double press of the button.

Whichever option you don't assign to a different app will continue to open the Bixby feed. So for example, if you choose to open Instagram, Google, Spotify or some other app with a single press, a double press will trigger Bixby. Holding down the button still opens Bixby voice no matter what.

Samsung’s Galaxy Home smart speaker will launch by April

Posted: 20 Feb 2019 01:28 PM PST

After announcing it last summer, Samsung is nearing the release of its Bixby Home smart speaker. The device, meant to compete with the Amazon Echo, Google Home, Apple HomePod, and Sonos speakers, will launch by April. That's according to co-CEO DJ Koh, who spoke to CNET today.

The Galaxy Home uses Samsung's own Bixby virtual assistant to respond to a user's voice commands. Its sound performance is tuned by the company's AKG division. Samsung first revealed the Galaxy Home during its Note 9 event back in August, but has stayed relatively quiet on launch details ever since. The Home can act as a hub for SmartThings and control any smart home gadgets compatible with that platform by voice.

The company also claims this is "the only AI...

Hands-on with Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch Active

Posted: 20 Feb 2019 01:25 PM PST

Samsung just spent 90 minutes talking about its new Galaxy S10 phones that are coming out this year, including a folding model, but it also dropped information on a new smartwatch in its line of Galaxy wearables. The Galaxy Watch Active is the latest watch running Samsung's proprietary Tizen software, and it will be available for $199.99 when it hits shelves on March 8th. We just spent some brief time with the Watch Active, and here's what you need to know: it's light. It feels almost unnaturally light.

The biggest change from prior Samsung watches is the lack of a rotating bezel, which is a bit of a bummer. Instead, the Active relies on its touchscreen and two side buttons for navigation. They work fine, but they are a little clumsier...

Apple’s secretive self-driving car project is starting to come into focus

Posted: 20 Feb 2019 01:19 PM PST

One of the words that's most commonly associated with Apple's self-driving car program is "secretive." Unlike most of its competitors, Apple has been frustratingly tight-lipped regarding the self-driving cars it's testing in California. On Wednesday, the company had an opportunity to pull back the curtain on the so-called "Project Titan" with the release of its voluntary safety report to federal regulators. But, unsurprisingly, the smartphone giant is still keeping the most tantalizing details under wraps.

Apple's report is almost comically short: seven pages, compared to an average length of 39 pages from the other companies who have submitted reports. In it, Apple describes its interest in self-driving systems in broad, world-saving...
