After a long wait, samsung enthusiasts in India have finally something to look forward to as the tech giant seems to have officially confirmed the launch date of its much-anticipated affordable flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. After months of speculation and leaks, the wait is almost over, with the launch scheduled for Wednesday, October 4. Notably, it will coincide with the launch of the much-awaited Google Pixel 8 smartphones. Know all about the release:

Fans have been waiting for the launch of Samsung's “Fan edition”, Samsung Galaxy S23 FE model for a long time. Earlier, it was rumoured that it would be launched at the Galaxy Unpacked event, now a tipster claims that we may see the most affordable Samsung smartphone in the S23 lineup by the end of 2023 or at the beginning of the new year. The launch date has not been revealed yet, however, rumours suggest that the new generation may get a price reduction in the US.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is a long-awaited launch from Samsung. This affordable version of the premium Galaxy S23 variant has attracted eyeballs, but its launch date has been shrouded in mystery and that too for a long time. Users have been speculating about it and various rumors have been circulating online too. However, all this speculation may come to an end soon, as Samsung has unintentionally leaked information about the upcoming fan edition. Not just that, a number of other products too have been revealed on one of its own websites. However, it is still unclear if it was leaked accidentally or not. Samsung has a habit of keeping its users hooked on its brand, so this can be one of its marketing strategies.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max is Apple’s first model to offer a 5x optical zoom upgrade, but just like the tech firm has done on previous occasions, the hardware details remained obscured for a few days. Fortunately, we have learned that most of the cameras used on the company’s top-end flagship have been re-used from last year’s iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Samsung has just concluded its second Galaxy Unpacked event of the year, where it launched its foldable smartphones, and now it is all gearing up to launch the Samsung Galaxy S23 Fan Edition (FE). There have been a lot of speculations building around this for so long. One of the rumors suggests that Samsung might be planning to launch the Galaxy S23 FE in India next month. The Galaxy S23 FE support page was seen by some on the Samsung website on September 20, which escalated the rumors roaming around. Let's take a look at what all leaks and rumors are suggesting about this long-awaited premium smartphone.

Apple switched from stainless steel on previous models to introduce titanium alloy for the first time on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. This transition of build materials ended up making the latest flagships much lighter but compromised their scratch resistance in the process. One image shows how easily it is to get scruffs or marks on the titanium edges, suggesting that long-term use without a protective case is not recommended.

Normally, I never really report something like this, but a TikTok video fell into my lap showing an iPhone user or an "Apple girly" who rented Galaxy S23 Ultra just so she could record Taylor Swift's performance during one of her Era shows that are currently going on.

Delivery times for the just-unveiled iPhone 15 Pro quickly slipped until November for some configurations, suggesting that demand is strong for the high-end versions of Apple Inc.'s new lineup.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro pre-order trend quickly saw initial delivery times slip well into November, suggesting strong demand. This is so despite the fact that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is the most-expensive model in the series. Four iPhone 15 models became available for pre-booking on Friday in several countries. The high-end Pro Max model, for which the price starts at $1,199, saw its first deliveries slip from Sept. 22 to as late as mid-November in the US after pre-orders began at 5 a.m. in California. Pre-Orders for the blue and block iPhone Pro Max models saw delays as late as Oct. 16, while the natural and white models were delayed to Nov. 13. Delays affected all storage capacities of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra will easily be one of the best smartphones of next year, and this is a given. Samsung has a habit of hitting home runs every year across the board with their devices. This year, the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the A54, and the Z Flip 5 took home commendations, and we all know the history before this. The point is that the company knows what they are doing, but it seems that Samsung's upcoming flagship might have some issues.

The Apple iPhone 15 lineup has finally arrived, so it's time to compare them to the Samsung Galaxy S23 family of devices. We have yet to test the new iPhones, so we will be using specs along with Apple's claims to figure out which phone is a good fit for you.

Now that the iPhone 15 series is out, the obvious thought in many people's minds is whether it is a better proposition than the Samsung Galaxy S23 lineup that was released earlier this year. And considering the next Samsung event is likely to be in January or February 2024, many also wonder what will the S24 lineup bring to compete with the iPhones. The Apple vs. Samsung rivalry goes way back and the fans on the respective sides never hesitate to hail their side as the one with the best smartphone in the world. But that often does not tell us the truth from a neutral and objective perspective. While the iPhone 15 lineup has not even opened for pre-orders, it will be a while before people can test it out against the Samsung counterpart to really know the truth, but that does not mean that experts have not built up an opinion. Let us take a look.
