Samsung Galaxy M10 Review: Changing Lanes!

Launching the Galaxy M series of smartphones in India was an unexpected move (in a good way though) from the South Korean giant Samsung considering the track record of the mid-range devices launched so far. One thing that didn't change in Samsung's point of view over the year is their desperate attempts to capture the Indian market. After a long and failed attempts, Samsung came up with a much-needed breakthrough to tackle the Chinese handset makers. Unlike Samsung's previous mid-range smartphones, the Galaxy M series carries a refreshing ideology which is simple and on-point. This makes the Galaxy M series of smartphones a worthy contender to its Chinese counterpart. For the starters, Samsung launched the Galaxy M10 smartphone in the Indian market a few weeks back at a starting price of Rs. 7,990. We got hold of the device for a few days and came up with the review. Design The Samsung Galaxy M10 looks more or less like its big brother Galaxy M20 except for the fingerprint scanner. The new Galaxy M10 comes with a shiny yet grippy plastic back giving no scope for slipperiness. The front side is dominated by 6.2-inch HD+ display with a thin chin at the bottom. The device measures ...

Samsung SM-P205 tablet with Exynos 7885 SoC, 3GB RAM, Android 9.0 Pie surfaces in benchmarks

Samsung back in December is reportedly working on a new Galaxy tablet with model number SM-P205. However, we haven’t heard much about the device, but to fill the void, alleged specifications of this tablet have surfaced online in a Geekbench listing, thought might not be the most credible source.  According to the information on Geekbench, the tablet is powered an Exynos 7885 SoC, with 3 GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage. It runs on Android Pie 9.0 and comes in black and grey color options to the mix from our previous report. It scored 1329 in single-core and 4150 multi-core tests, on par with the other Exynos 7885 scores on Geekbench. Another giveaway about the tablet is the inclusion of the letter 'P' in the model number. Surprisingly, the model number SM-P205 doesn’t align with any of the existing Galaxy tablets, this makes it difficult to understand the company's plans to position this device. Since the firmware development has begun months ago and the tablet is now making the appearance on benchmark websites, so the launch might be not too far. Having said that, not much is leaked about the device so far, it seems unlikely the device will make an appearance at the Galaxy S10 Unpacked event ...
