About this time last year, I stood with hordes of other press in a packed Galaxy Studio in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood, listening to Samsung tell us how its then-new Galaxy S5 would change everything. Over the piped-in orchestra music, we were promised...

Over the past year, we've seen Samsung go from conventional iteration with the Galaxy S5, to bold experimentation with the Galaxy Alpha, to bold iteration with the Galaxy Note 4. The Galaxy S6 is a distillation of all those lessons, tangible proof that...

Samsung got complacent. That's the best way to describe the company's performance in 2014.As its competitors were releasing sleeker designs and more elegant software, it almost felt like ole Sammy was stuck in a rut, unsure of how to proceed. So it gave c...

Samsung is making a big statement with the Galaxy S6. Yeah, sure, the new design is great, and the camera is among the best out there. But, more importantly, the more thoughtful approach signals an exciting new direction for Samsung. One that, as the S6 p...

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm calling it now: the Galaxy S6 is the top contender for Phone of the Year.Why? Well, Samsung really overhauled the way it makes phones. I was seriously impressed with it at first sight—the only other phone that's ma...

Another problem is Samsung's continuing insistence on doubling up on native Android services by baking its own second-rate alternatives into the OS. The S6 ships with the company's subpar S Voice assistant, for instance, in addition to Google's excellent...

Samsung found itself in sort of a bind last year: Its flagship Galaxy S5 wasn't the blockbuster the company hoped it would be. That, coupled with the news that Samsung was going to focus on a smaller number of devices in 2015, signaled a pretty dramatic c...

This more expensive version of the Galaxy S6 banks it all on looks. It performs just as well as its cousin in every task we threw at it, but the few software gimmicks that make use of the Edge's beautiful curved display just don't do much to justify the...

Launched almost one-year ago, Samsung's Galaxy S5 failed to impress consumers, reviewers, and even some Galaxy fans . Lacking in both innovative hardware and design, it failed to differentiate itself from other flagship phones such as HTC's One (M8), LG's...

Charging the new Galaxy phones is even easier and faster than before. For starters, the wonky USB 3.0 connector is gone, replaced by a standard microUSB 2.0 port, making it much easier to find a spare cable. It's unlikely you'll even need one though with...
