A shout-out to Samsung for great customer service

January 28, 2019 by Neville Hobson 

Galaxy S8 photo from Mozfest 2018

I'm a big fan of Samsung's products especially their Galaxy series of smartphones. My first Samsung smartphone was a Galaxy S3 in 2012. That was followed by an S4 and then an S6. I'm now on a Galaxy S8. The next one might be an S10 as it looks like I'm an even-number kind of Galaxy user, if I go for another Samsung model again. Which, by the way, is not a guarantee with the likes of Huawei and other emerging manufacturers offering leading-edge tech and compelling user experiences often … [Read more...] about A shout-out to Samsung for great customer service

Samsung (and Facebook) raise the mobile game

February 22, 2016 by Neville Hobson 

The smartphone market continues to rapidly evolve. Who thinks about a smartphone these days as simply a device to make phone calls and send text messages? I don't - a smartphone is a powerful computer that also makes phone calls and sends text messages. That thought came to me more than once or twice while I watched and listened to Samsung's press event via live video stream from the Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona on Sunday evening. The company announced their next smartphones in the … [Read more...] about Samsung (and Facebook) raise the mobile game

Add “to Volkswagen” to the business lexicon

October 2, 2015 by Neville Hobson 

As the Volkswagen emissions-testing-fiddling scandal rolls on - and is getting much worse for the beleaguered German firm - speculation grows that other car makers are also gaming the system. If the testing methods used in countries around the world are so predictable that knowing exactly how they work offers ready temptation to circumvent tests in ways that don't really seem wrong - it's just a little cheating, don't you know? - it seems credible to take the view that this surely must be … [Read more...] about Add “to Volkswagen” to the business lexicon

Barclaycard is to roll out a range of wearable payment devices that can be used to make ‘touch and go’ contactless payments across the UK, following the  launch of its bPay wristband last year. The card issuer's announcement yesterday notes that each device - an updated wristband, key fob and sticker - will use contactless payment technology and be powered by a secure digital wallet. Barclaycard - part of Barclays Retail and Business Banking - is a global payment business. The devices can … [Read more...] about Barclays expands contactless wearables

Samsung Gear 2 Neo smartwatch – some initial impressions

November 9, 2014 by Neville Hobson 

Last month, I bought a Samsung Gear 2 Neo smartwatch. It's been on my wrist every day over the past few weeks, replacing my usual traditional watch that tells the time and shows me the date. Of course, a digital smartwatch can do a lot more than just that, one of the reasons why people buy them. You want to check your heartbeat? Count how many steps you take walking, or running or hiking? Track your sleeping time? The Gear 2 Neo does all of that and more. I'd argue, though, that dedicated … [Read more...] about Samsung Gear 2 Neo smartwatch – some initial impressions
