Here's how the Galaxy S27 series prices will go up according to a new rumor‎

According to a new rumor from Samsung's home country of South Korea, the Galaxy S27 series devices will be at least KRW 130,000 (about $95) more expensive than their predecessors in the country - but that rate of increase will only apply to the base model. The more expensive storage tiers will get a bigger jump compared to what we've seen for the Galaxy S26 devices. So, for example, the Galaxy S26 Ultra started at $1,299 when it launched. That got you 256GB of storage, but if you wanted 512GB, you had to pay $1,499. With the S27 Ultra, the base model might start at $1,399, and the 512GB...

Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra in for review‎

The line between tablets and laptops has been increasingly more blurred for the past few years. That's especially true for devices like the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra - a top-of-the-line slate with a huge AMOLED display and a thin profile. It goes the other way as well; laptops nowadays get the same mobile-based chipsets and tablet-like battery life and fluidity. Perhaps the two categories were always destined to meet in the middle. This is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra, and it's a $1,399 (€1,569/£1,399) flagship with a close-to-15-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, an 11,600mAh battery, and a...
