Samsung to offer a Game Pack for #GalaxyS7 and #S7EDGE owners By @VicenteA_George #Samsung #Android

Not so long ago we brought to you our unboxing and impressions on the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 EDGE

But if there’s something we have to accredit Samsung for is all the offers to giveaway when a new device launches, this time around things were a little different, as aside from internals and beautiful screens, Samsung decided to make an emphasis on their new Game Launcher by offering a bunch of “freemium” games to enjoy.

The Game Launcher is a neat feature that pretty much everyone is going to enjoy, no matter if you spend tons of hours playing or just a couple of minutes. For disabling notifications to record yourself while playing for YouTube, is a “must have” for sure.

This Game Pack Samsung is giving away with the new Galaxy range really is a sweet deal, even better they are easy to find.

You’ll need to check the Galaxy App Store and that’s all!

In there you’ll find the whole list of titles available with bonuses to download to your new flagship.

They extras you’ll get may vary from one app to another, example :

Badland (a personal recommendation as the game is beautiful and challenging) will just save you the multi-player mode, usually you need to pay or play lots of hours to have it, but in Gods of Rome the only thing you’ll get is a bag of gems to invest on what you think is best.

The pack contains 16 titles to choose from, all of each with their own extras.

But fear not! You won’t need to install each app or go through the whole app store finding them and reading why they offer.

If you want to have the entire list just go HERE

Have you had the chance to try the game launcher? Will you be getting one of these games?

Twitter is now allowing you to share DMs quicker than ever by adding a new feature today which is rolling out on Android and iOS. You should be able to see a new message icon on the tweet which is on the very right and if you click on the tweet it’s between the heart and share icon.Lots of people do spend much time on Twitter and have conversation in DM mode so this will be a welcome addition for some.All you need to do is tap the new message icon and it will bring you to a list of recently used people and then select the person and press send,otherwise you can just search for the person you intend to send the tweet too.

Vivo aims the audiophiles with their new #X6S and #X6SPlus By @VicenteA_George #Android

The Chinese manufacturer Vivo, has become popular due to their great audio quality smartphones.

Following the same principles from the Vivo X6 series, the X6s and the X6s Plus come with best in class audio components.

The X6s is equipped with an AKM4375 32-bit DAC, while the X6s Plus packs a ES9028 DAC within a YAMAHA YSS-205X audio processor

They share practically all the specs but the screen size, one being 5,2” while the other is 5,7” both with FHD resolution.

The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 which should be able to give you a great experience.

4GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB internal memory to choose from.

And for your games and videos there’s an Adreno 520 GPU. 

The camera department has been improved as well, now giving you a 16MP shooter on the back with an 8MP front facing will have you covered.

Prices as you’d expect are pretty much a midrange flagship, the Chinese store price tags are CNY 2598 or around $400 for the X6S and CNY 2,998 or $470 for the X6S Plus

Shipping is said to begin on April 5.

What’s you opinion about these phones? Are you agreed on this new trend of offering great performance with some compromise aimed to specific audience?
