Samsung was one of the first smartphone makers that eyed in-screen fingerprint sensors but it was one of the last to actually adopt it. Even then, the technology it used ended up being more than disappointing. First introduced in its 2019 lineup, the fingerprint scanners that used Qualcomm's ultrasonic fingerprint sensor technology was proven to be susceptible to being fooled by screen protectors. It turns out, Samsung's 2020 Galaxy Note 20 phones were just as vulnerable to that trick.

We're almost a week away from Samsung's first big event of the year but there is almost nothing left to wait for other than official confirmation of the rumors and leaks of the past few weeks. Those have painted an almost complete picture of the Galaxy S21 trio, leaving almost no stone unturned. That even includes the prices for the phones, figures that have been more or less confirmed by one eager network operator in Belgium. Suffice it to say, it might be a bit of good news.

Samsung is aiming to put an end to dead TV remotes, bypassing batteries in favor of a solar powered remote control for its latest 2021 models.

Samsung has revealed its CES 2021 TV range, including extra sizes of MicroLED TV, fresh QLED options, and support for services like Google Duo.

Whenever Samsung launches a new, high-end flagship, it often launches a new version of its custom Android experience designed specifically for the new phones. To some extent, the software confirms and reveals some of the features and hardware that the hardware will be capable of, like camera resolutions or even batteries. The One UI 3.1 release performs exactly that purpose and this early look not only confirms specs we've already heard of but even new features that will admittedly make the Galaxy S21 Ultra a bit more interesting.

We're no strangers to seeing prototypes of devices before they launch but once in a while we also get glimpses of an actual retail version very early in the game. Almost mirroring the Galaxy S21 phones it is expected to launch with, the Galaxy Buds Pro earbuds now also have some hands-on exposure of its own, including a rather detailed first impression review. The good news is that Samsung seems to be continuing a tradition of performance and audio quality its earbuds have been known for. The bad news is that it may have skimped on one important feature.

The Galaxy Smart Tag, or "SmartTag" as this sighting calls it, has been leaked before and now we're seeing what could be the first real-world photos of the tracker and its design might disappoint some.

In less than two weeks, Samsung will be unveiling its very early 2021 flagship, the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra. Thanks to all the equally very early leaks, we might already know everything there is to know about these three as well as some accessories that they might be coming with. It seems that there are still some last-minute leaks arriving, not all of them good. But while rumors of Samsung removing the microSD card slot are naturally disappointing, it might actually be less controversial these days than it was just a few years ago.
