Published

Samsung’s most popular S series devices always brought top-notch features with high-end hardware specs, that’s why the customers are so much excited to buy them, these devices target a premium range of prices, which also creates high-quality performance expectations to the users, but due to some factors, the company is unable to fulfill that area.

Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 users facing several issues

March 25: A user posted on reddit “I’ve been having this problem with my galaxy s22 Plus since about August 2022 where it overheats considerably. I think it started right before oneui 4.5 was released. The back, sides and screen get really hot when I’m using it, even for simple browsing.”

March 25: In addition to the general battery draining and low power efficiency issues faced by some Galaxy S22 users after upgrading to the One UI 5.1 software, there have also been reports of specific battery concerns among the Galaxy S22 series. One such report came from a Verizon S22 Plus user who complained about “performance issues, battery drain, and overheating” after the last update. These issues can be a cause for concern as they may affect the device’s overall performance and cause inconvenience to the user. Therefore, it is essential to address these issues promptly and find solutions to ensure the smooth functioning of the device.

March 20: Another Galaxy S22 user, who switched from an iPhone a few months ago, has reported a concerning battery life issue. This user has the Exynos variant of the Galaxy S22 and is experiencing only 4 hours of screen on time, which is significantly lower than what is expected from a flagship smartphone

March 5: Another Galaxy S series model that has been facing battery concerns is the S21 Plus. One user has reported that despite using the phone with a 120Hz refresh rate, maximum 50% brightness, extra dim, and location and mobile data turned off, his phone’s 85% battery is offering just 4 hours of screen time. This is normal usage, but the phone is giving less battery life than expected. This issue is particularly concerning as the battery life is a crucial aspect of any smartphone, and users expect their devices to last throughout the day without requiring frequent recharging. It is, therefore, imperative to investigate the issue and find ways to improve battery life on the Galaxy S21 Plus.

February 27: Despite the much-awaited One UI 5.1 software upgrade, some Galaxy S22 smartphone users are still experiencing battery draining and low power efficiency issues. The problem seems to persist even when the screen is not in use, and the phone’s battery is getting consumed more quickly than before. Despite the many features and improvements that come with the One UI 5.1 upgrade, this issue has been a significant setback for users who rely heavily on their Galaxy S22 for day-to-day activities.

February 10: It is unfortunate to hear that two more Galaxy S22 users are reporting battery drain and overheating issues. A user mentioned that their Galaxy S22 heats up during general usage while using some social media apps, and the device is also delivering poor battery efficiency. This could indicate that there may be a problem with the device’s cooling system, or it could be related to some power-intensive apps running in the background. Another user reported that their S22’s battery drained by 13% without any usage in the meantime, suggesting that there may be a software issue that is causing the battery to drain faster than usual. The user also suspects that the Always On Display feature could be contributing to the battery drain, which is a possibility as this feature can consume a significant amount of power.

January 29: Several Samsung Galaxy owners are facing some issues regarding the battery performance of their devices, including Galaxy S21 and S22 series devices, some users, they are facing battery draining and heating issues since the beginning. Various users are reporting the issues on Reddit.

There are multiple users who claim that their devices are heating up during normal usage; for example, a user on Reddit says that he is only using the social media application, and the phone gets discharged very fast and heats up with normal usage.

January 24: However, this issue is commonly addressed on the Exynos variants devices, including Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S22 series. The Qualcomm-powered device users haven’t reported such an issue yet. Due to these issues, Samsung is also planning to ditch its self-made SoC from Galaxy S Lineup and is all set to introduce its Galaxy S23 device, which will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset with a higher clock speed.

January 20: There are thousands of users complaining about the battery drain and overheating issues of both of the smartphones, but Samsung hasn’t given any response to this; the company hasn’t delivered any fix yet. But as a responsible company, we expect Samsung to take some hard steps and resolve the users’ problems after they have bought the product by believing in the Samsung brand.

The Samsung Galaxy M55 is on the stage now, as the brand has finally debuted and made it available for pre-order in Brazil. 

Ahead of the launch, leaks and rumors revealed more about this brand-new Galaxy M55 smartphone since Samsung finally introduced it, so there’s no chance for expectations regarding specs and features. 

The brand-new budget-friendly smartphone is named the Galaxy M55, which is the modified version of the mid-range Galaxy A55 smartphone. Let’s take a closer look at the new features the device has brought. 

Samsung Galaxy M55 Key Specs: 

The latest affordable Galaxy M55 features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display along with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, support for Full HD+ resolution, and a peak brightness of up to 1,000 nits in HBM (High Brightness Mode), although HDR brightness could be even higher. It also offers an in-display fingerprint reader. 

To enhance the audio experience, it features stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. The brand has powered it by the relatively powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset and runs Android 14-based One UI 6.0 out of the box. It is eligible to get four years of major Android OS updates and five years of security patches. It features the Samsung Knox Vault with EAL5+ certification. 

Moving to the camera arrangement of the device, which includes a 50 MP selfie camera with this high resolution, it is the very first smartphone in the Galaxy family to get this much higher resolution. Jumping on the back camera setup that includes a 50MP primary with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 & Flip 6 Charging Details Revealed: No Upgrade Expected

Published

By


Samsung is setting up to upgrade the battery life of the sixth-generation Galaxy foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. But what about the charging speeds? 

Leaks and rumors are doing well to increase the enthusiasm among the Galaxy foldable fans, as ahead of any official commitment they are unveiling the expected design, processor, and key features such as battery. It has already been revealed that the forthcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6 will feature a bigger dual battery as compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 5

But here’s the question: a bigger dual battery is okay! But what about the charging speed, whether it gets upgraded or not? 

It is sad to relate the answer: Samsung may not upgrade the charging speed of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6. This is being speculated by an important certification in China that lists both the foldable smartphones and Samsung’s 25W charger. Not only this, but the charger also carries the model number EP-TA800, which is examined by the regulatory authorities for every Galaxy smartphone as well as tablets that support 25W charging. 

Since a 25W charger is mentioned in the certification, it does not indicate that 25W will be the maximum charging speed on the new phones. Flagship Galaxy devices that support 45W charging are tested along with the 25W charger as well, but noticeably, these certifications are not the exact confirmation of a charging speed. This may change as well. 

But it has come to be known that if Samsung introduces 45W charging to its forthcoming foldable this year, then there is a high possibility that only the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will support it. In short, since Samsung has not officially revealed anything regarding the battery of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 yet, we can just wait to see what new changes and upgrades the forthcoming foldable will bring.

Samsung Could Welcome Back ‘Galaxy C Series’ With Galaxy C55 In 2024

Samsung appears to believe old is gold, as it is planning a re-welcome for its old ‘Galaxy C series’ as reported. 

Presently, Samsung is playing a game with its six series, including the Galaxy Z (foldable), Galaxy S (flagship), Galaxy A (mid-range), Galaxy M and Galaxy F (affordable), and Galaxy Note. Now it is planning to add one more series named ‘Galaxy C’. 

Although the Galaxy C series is not the latest for the Korean giants, seven years ago there was a Galaxy C series in existence that vanished away. The last device from the C series was the Galaxy C8, which was launched back in 2017. And now it looks like Samsung is gearing up for the comeback of the Galaxy C series with a brand new device named the Galaxy C55. 

This is being speculated since the smartphone has now surfaced on the Google Play Console listing, suggesting specs similar to the Galaxy M55 and Galaxy F55. However, the device will not see a global debut and is intended for the Chinese market. The Play Console listing unveils some key details; for instance, the device will feature a Full HD (1080 x 2400 pixel) display with a screen density of 450 DPI, 8GB of RAM, and will be powered by Android 14 and the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC. 

It is the same chipset that is rumored for the Galaxy M55 and Galaxy F55. Qualcomm introduced this mid-range chip back in 2022 and offers four Cortex-A710 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz, four Cortex-A510 cores clocked at 1.8 GHz, and an Adreno 662 GPU. Apart from this, no much more details have been revealed regarding the Galaxy C55 yet, but it is expected that soon more information will come to light.
