It would be naïve of any Black person in America to think they were immune from the rampant brutality we have seen from police departments across the country, and it would be irresponsible of me not to do whatever I could to make sure we were as informed and protected as possible.  To be clear, I am not advocating for criminal activity of any kind or police ab...

On the other hand, though, some buyers are increasingly putting value first, and either aren't as willing, or able, to splash out on sky-high flagships. We saw that shift take its toll in 2020, hitting the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 families in the process. It's a new rift in the premium smartphone market, Samsung argues, and the Galaxy S21 family has had to split to go along with it. T...
