Mobile World Congress 2018 is taking place in Barcelona this week, where some of the biggest phones, tablets, and laptops of the year are being announced. The biggest announcement of all is usually Samsung’s latest and greatest, and that was once again the case this year. The Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus are coming next […]
Every weekend, we’ll cruise around Amazon to find a few good tech deals! Who knows, from time to time we might even spot some non-tech deals we think you might like! Don’t hold us to it. As Chip Chick editors, we write about products we love and we think you will too! Chip Chick often […]
Yeah, we know. Samsung has had a good year, but they’re always going to catch some grief when it comes to batteries, and for good reason. But, there’s reason to get excited about Samsung battery news today — the company says they’ve developed charging technology that could fully charge smartphone batteries at incredible speeds using an […]
Who needs cables? The last couple years have seen loads of true wireless earbuds hit the market, starting with a handful of crowdfunded projects before the Apple AirPods made everyone aware! These little Bluetooth wireless buds don’t even have a cable to connect them, making them super sleek and lightweight. If you’re an Apple user, […]
When Microsoft talked about their upcoming Mixed Reality platform late last year, they mentioned HP, Asus, Acer, Lenovo, and Dell as hardware partners. We saw a lot of those headsets last month at IFA, and while they all had their own style, they were all the same on the spec sheet — dual 1440 x 1440 […]
ADT has done well for itself by selling home security the traditional way — professionally installed systems and a subscription- or contract-based monitoring service. While they might still have success with that model for a while longer, it looks like the home security mainstay is finally starting to reckon with what home security increasingly looks like — […]
It’s time for the fall smartphone battle to kick off! We’ve already got the major players — the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, the iPhone X, and the LG V30 — announced and hyped. Now it’s time for you to check them out for yourself in stores. You can do that starting today, with the Galaxy Note 8 […]
Today is Apple’s day, which means that Samsung is going to do everything they can to try to steal their thunder! Being real, nobody is going to steal Apple’s thunder today, but what Samsung CEO DJ Koh just said at a press conference in South Korea is pretty darn interesting, anyway. Koh took the stage […]
Is it too good to be true? We won’t know until Samsung’s washing machines start making it into homes, but for now, at least the claim is worth some attention — with their new QuickDrive technology, Samsung is saying their new washer can clean a load of laundry thoroughly in just 39 minutes. It’s like using […]
The Harman Allure connected speaker was announced today, and it can perhaps be best described as a Rorschach test. We’ve seen some liken it to a food processor; we’re seeing a police siren! At least we can probably all agree on the sound part — the Allure is a Harman Kardon 360-degree speaker that works […]
If we can take one thing away from 2017, it’s that not enough people are buying a smartwatch to make a fashion statement. This year, we’ve seen smartwatch makers get out of the game altogether (Motorola) or turn from the runway to the track (Huawei). Even the new Apple Watch is rumored to be more […]
For a little while there, we weren’t sure this day would ever come. After last year’s Galaxy Note 7 was ultimately discontinued after several reports of batteries exploding or catching fire, we had to wonder whether or not Samsung would consider the Note line too tainted to keep around. But, when the Galaxy S8 arrived […]
You don’t typically think of Wi-Fi routers when you think of Samsung’s product catalog, but considering all of the connected devices Samsung has created for the home, it certainly makes sense. The Samsung Connect Home is more than just a router, though — it’s a smart Wi-Fi system, Wi-Fi router, and SmartThings hub all in […]
Love the Samsung Galaxy S8, but don’t trust yourself enough to keep it free from a cracked screen? It’s your time. As is tradition, Samsung is launching an Active version of their flagship phone, which has the usual reinforced from and shatter-resistant display. Samsung is launching preorders for the Galaxy S8 Active this week, with […]
Decisions, decisions. Samsung has just announced that the lovely coral blue Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus (two of the year’s best phones!) are finally going to be available in the United States after an international run, but if you’re in the market for an expensive new phone, you might want to pump the brakes — something […]
Samsung had a lot of good stuff at CES this year, but it was one of their soundbars that really grabbed our attention. Their MS750 Sound+ Soundbar is pretty awesome for anyone living in an apartment — the sleek bar can produce quality bass without the need for an external subwoofer, making it a solid space-saving […]
Remember when the Note 7 fiasco was supposed to leave a serious dent in Samsung’s bottom line? It probably did cost them billions in the end, but don’t take that to mean that it’s lean times for Samsung right now — if their projections of quarterly revenue prove accurate, they’ll have pulled in more profit than […]
Prefer pink on your smartphones? Well, you’re going to need some help if you want the new pink Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus — it’s coming soon, but only to a handful of countries worldwide. Starting tomorrow, Samsung will start selling the phone in South Korea and Taiwan, calling it a rose pink model — it’s high time […]
Remember those souped up new Family Hub refrigerators Samsung showed off at CES? Well, they’re finally ready to be purchased this week, with Samsung confirming the feature set and how much they’ll cost in an announcement yesterday. Maybe the most important change in store for the Family Hub 2.0 refrigerators is that you’ll be able […]
Every year at CES, Samsung surprises with a designer TV set — there was the pedestal set in 2015, followed by the TV that looked like an ‘I’ in sans serif font from last year. The pedestal set was designed by Yves Behar, and for this year’s set, Samsung worked with him again to create the […]
Samsung came to CES earlier this year with a brand new set of premium panels using their QLED technology. QLED isn’t quite like OLED, but it does offer something approaching that level of performance, guaranteeing a wide color gamut and high contrast while being much cheaper and more durable. If that sounds awesome for PC […]
