Samsung US offers deals on Galaxy flagship phones and tablets

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 11:11 AM PDT

Samsung's 4th generation foldables are expected in a month, but chances of lower starting prices are low.

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 10:14 AM PDT

Earlier this month there was a report on the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 colorways that are expected to launch in August. More concrete details are now available thanks to leakster Evan Blass, who has found a list of SKUs for the Fold. The list confirms the addition of the new Beige color from the earlier report.

Oppo India also accused of tax evasion

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 08:26 AM PDT

Last week vivo got in trouble with Indian authorities, which seized $58 million in assets after a money laundering probe. Now Oppo is in the hot seat as local authorities are seeking $551 million (₹44 billion) for allegedly evading custom duties. This was done in two ways. First, the company is accused of "willful misdeclaration" of imported tools and components that it used to build phones. Second, it did not include various licensing fees into the price of imported goods, fees that were sent abroad. The local anti-smuggling agency found evidence after searching Oppo's offices in...

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 gets FCC certification

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 06:39 AM PDT

Just a few days after the Galaxy Z Fold4 surfaced on the FCC database, it's now time for the Galaxy Z Flip4. As usual, the certification alone gives little in the way of specs or important information. It's a very technical test of a device's network and charging abilities. The Galaxy Z Flip4, model number SM-F721U, supports Wi-Fi 802.11a/n/ac/ax, 5G (both sub-6GHz and mmWave), and wireless charging. Rumor has it the Galaxy Z Flip4 will have a 3,700mAh battery, bigger by 400mAh than its predecessor's, and support 25W charging - up from the slow-ish 15W of the old phone....
