While the iPhone is hogging the headlines, Samsung has quietly released a technical powerhouse for the person who still wants a ‘proper’ phone with a ‘proper’ camera. The G600, launched in mid-2007, is a 5-megapixel slider that is arguably the most balanced handset Samsung has ever built. It’s finished in a sleek, …
The king is dead; long live the king. The Samsung D600 arrived in late 2005 to replace the already legendary D500, and it has done so by taking everything that was good about its predecessor and turning the technical volume up to eleven. If you thought the slide on the D500 was …
The year 2004 is coming to a close, and Samsung has just dropped the D500, a phone that has effectively ended the debate over who makes the best sliding mechanism in the business. Before this, sliders were often seen as a bit of a gimmick, but the D500 is a ‘semi-automatic’ marvel; …
It is late 2003, and Samsung has officially decided that the external antenna is a fashion crime that must be abolished.

Released alongside its smaller sibling in April 2017, the Galaxy S8+ is the definitive ‘Phablet’ for the bezel-less generation. It takes the revolutionary Infinity Display concept and scales it up to a massive 6.2 inches, yet because of the ultra-narrow aspect ratio, it remains surprisingly usable in one hand. At 173g, it …
Welcome to mid-2008, and Samsung has just released the ‘Omnia’ (Latin for ‘everything’), a handset designed to be the ultimate Swiss Army knife for the Windows Mobile era.

Welcome to March 2018, and Samsung has decided to ‘Reimagine’ the camera. The Galaxy S9 is a refined, technically sophisticated evolution of the bezel-less design, fixing the ergonomic gripes of the S8 by moving the fingerprint sensor to a more sensible location below the camera.
