Samsung’s new 98-inch Crystal UHD TV is now available

18 Best Samsung Galaxy S23 Cases and Accessories (2023): Chargers, Cables, and Screen Protectors

There are an insane amount of cases on the market. These are the others we like, just not as much as the ones above.Casetify Impact Case for $72: Casetify cases are fun because the designs are innumerable. (Look at this one with a cat!) I'm not a huge fan of the Casetify branding that's on the camera module, but maybe I'm just not trendy enough. I found the S Pen a little tough to access (I have a bad habit of biting my nails, so this might not be an issue for you). Otherwise, these are some great cases; it's just hard to justify the absurdly high price.Vena Outcross Case for $14: This is a fine case with clicky buttons. It's not very exciting, but it's cheap, and the edges around the screen and camera module are raised. Unfortunately, the bumper around the case is a little slippery.Zagg ...

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE, Tab S9 FE, Buds FE (2023): Features, Specs, Price

If you heard the words Fan Edition, chances are you'd expect something extraordinary. Perhaps a limited edition design or a feature that takes a product to a level that only true fans can appreciate. This is not the case with the deluge of hardware Samsung just announced: the Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Tab S9 FE, and Galaxy Buds FE.These are all slightly cheaper versions of their top-tier counterparts that Samsung announced throughout the year. They're not attention-grabbing, and they have lesser specs, but they cover the middle ground for buyers who don't want to spend the big bucks on the company's flagship hardware and don't want to settle for the budget devices. Truly, they're for Samsung loyalists—there might be better devices for the money, but there's no way you'd shell out on the compe...
