Samsung Flash Complete Walkthrough: Affordable, Portable Windows

Samsung has had plenty of success with their line up of Chromebooks–the cheap and cheerful laptops running Chrome OS that can use a full Chrome browser and Android apps but I wouldn’t quite consider a full-blown desktop OS. While these are great for anyone who just needs to do simple computer tasks, there is definitely a sizeable market for people who would love something in the same price range but that runs proper Windows on

Camera Comparison: P20 Pro vs Pixel 2 XL vs iPhone X vs Galaxy S9 Plus

The Huawei P20 Pro was released recently and with it one of the first three camera smartphones (and the first using Leica as a partner, for sure). In addition to the 3x telephoto, the RGB, and monochrome cameras it’s sporting, it also has a much larger sensor than any other flagship device on sale right now. So, this begs the question, can that help the P20 Pro compete with the other best camera phones you

Samsung sent me to Cinemacon in Las Vegas recently, a convention where vendors go to show off the latest technology for movie theaters.

At Samsung’s VR Pilot Week, I Experienced Something in VR I Never Have Before

Samsung is really pushing VR. It began with the mission to get VR hardware into the hands of more people that weren’t about to go out and buy a high-end HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. The release of the Gear VR headset in November of 2015, followed by the second gen a year later (and other smaller updates after that), its relatively low price (so long as you had one of Samsung’s compatible devices), and

Continuing with the camera tests, here we have the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus compared to its own brethren: the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8 Plus, Galaxy Note8.
