Samsung realeased a Blue Coral version of their #GalaxyS7edge. #Android #GalaxyS7

Samsung lovers out there ended up with a broken hear after the Note7 fiasco.Some of them swiched to another company, others who remained with the brand and went for a Galazy S7 or S7 EDGE instead.

Well, now that everything has settled down and we all know the Note 7 is not coming back, the company decided this is a time to give a bonus to those loyal costumers letting them have that elusive and attractive Blue Coral color scheme on their phones.

There’s nothing really special about this S7 series besides the color, the same hardware we all know and love.

Great camera, performance, battery… Etc, but what brough you here wasn’t that. It was the chance of having something different than the rest.

Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen soon, The device is going to be launch in Taiwan by November 1st and in Singapore by the 5th.

There’s no news about availability regarding other countries but we can expect that to happen, especially thanks to the great demand that color had with the Note7.

In case you can’t wait for them to realased over our shores and you don’t mind importing, the price will be NT$24,900 ($790) which is, (to be honest) a bit higher considering the only change is a paint job.

But you tell us, Will you go for this phone just because a new color option? Do you still think the S7 EDGE is the phone to beat this year?

Samsung presented a new #GalaxyS7EDGE Limited “Olympic Games Edition”. #Android #Samsung

Something that’s becoming a tradition lately, is having an “Special Edition” phone from “x” line up from a strong company, but in recent times Samsung has put it “out-of-the-park” with their Limited edition models.

At the beginning of the year they brought to us the “Batman Edition” (in a trend of having superheroes theme phones, this was the best offering) and now, as sponsors of the 2016 Olympics in Rio, they have something else to show us.

The  Galaxy S7 Edge Olympic Games Limited Edition

 

Hardware-wise is the same S7 we all know, with top-notch specs and IP67 ratings, but what makes this device unique is the outside look (as if having a dual curve functional glass on the front wasn’t enough).

With custom patterns to give the usually plain finish, some colorful details.

All of which, will match the five official color rings from the Olympics.

Another thing to have in mind is the “limited quantity” of copies are available. Only 14,516 phones ill be made, 12,500 out of which,  are for the “Olympians” which will be bundled with the Gear IconX headphones, letting just 2,016 copies to consumers.

There’s still no word on price, but we can expect an extraordinary tag to the already “not so friendly” GS7 price tag.

But let us know! What do you thing about this trend of releasing “themed phones” which sometimes has nothing really important to offer, than a simple “make over“? Would you pick one up if you have the chance?

Take a look at how it would be having this “Special! model:

Samsung Galaxy A9 is receiving the Marshmallow update. #GalaxyA9 #Samsung

During the weekend we received some awesome news from the people of Samsung, as now they’re rolling out the Android 6.0 update to their Galaxy A series phone.

More precisely, the A9

The Samsung Galaxy A9 is a China only device (at least the official way) so, the reason why this comes in handy for people like us in the other side of the world, is simply because this is the first A series model to be updated to Marshmallow.

Which means that the A5 and A7 are probably next in line to get the update.

This update in made to give the A9 all the features a Samsung flagship has, but Always on Display, (this can be achieved by an app on the Play Store).

The 6.0 update brings everything to the table, from DOZE to Now on Tap and promises a bump in performance with the devices as seen in other models.

Samsung introduce the First Flexible Batteries Stripe and Band By @VicenteA_George #Samsung #Battery #Wearables

Recently at InterBattery 2015 held in Seoul, Samsung SDI  Division showed off  their newest invention, a pair of flexible batteries for the devices of tomorrow.

Let’s Welcome Stripe and Band

As we know wearable devices are becoming more and more common these days, but the major problem those gadgets are facing is battery life, but thanks to this kind of innovation that situation is about to change.

The Stripe is as thin as 0.3mm and can be folded into almost anything, lets say a cup, a wrist, your neck or even a T-shirt.

Design with cutting edge technology this battery is aimed to increase the durability of future devices

The Band as the name implies is aimed to be an extra fuse within the smartwatches bands.

This extra charge will give you 50% more battery than usual and can be fold over 50 thousand times to adjust any wrist.

Although there are not ready to hit the market yet, the guys at Samsung SDI were able to demonstrate the products capabilities within some devices at the EXPO.

Is not the first time we have seen something like this from the guys at Samsung, after all, the “curve battery”  from 2 years ago found its way inside the Gear Fit. So is possible to see these little ones sooner than we think.

Samsung SDI Curved Battery

What do you think? Is worth adding extra batteries to something which already should have enough power?

Samsung introduce “Flow” as beta to Fight W10 “Continuity” By @VicenteA_George #Samsung #Android #Flow #App

In the world we live now is almost sure that we always have the need to be “on everything”.

Apple has “Handoff”, Microsoft will have “Continuity” with W10 and now Samsung present us “Flow”

Flow is more than just an app, is a way from Samsung to integrate their devices in a way where you can use each one to do what they are made to do.

Flow is based on two simple things:

Transfer & Dafer

Transfer: is for moving an activity to the right device for a task and pick it up right where you left off rather than starting again.

Defer: is for “pause” an activity when the right device is not at hand or there just isn’t enough time to finish up a task. Then you can resume it when you’re ready.

Another feature that seems to be omitted in the description is “Notifications”

You’ll receive the Notifications on the devices you’re using and choose if take it there or move it to another one.

Let’s take a look at what Samsung wants for us:

Looks nice isn’t it?

But there’s two downsides

1) It’s in Beta only available in the U.S
2) Is not fully compatible with all Samsung devices yet

Here’s a full list of compatible ones:

• Galaxy S4*
• Galaxy S5
• Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge
• Note 4 and Note Edge
• Galaxy Alpha
• Galaxy Tab S
• Galaxy Tab A
• Galaxy Note Pro 12.2¨*
• Galaxy Note 10.1 2014*

* =  experimental; contact flow-inquiries@samsung.com if you have trouble

The future looks bright for us, but we’ll have to wait a little more to enjoy things like this on full capacity.

Do you have more than one of the device mentioned above and want to give a try?

Rumoured Galaxy S6 details leak with AnTuTu benchmark #Samsung by @TechNewsIreland

Another day, another leak from the gigantic boat of Samsung, and this one is no less interesting from the previous.

Specs have leaked for Samsung’s upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S6, the phone is supposedly going to sport:

  • a 64-bit octa-core Samsung Exynos 7420 processor (Snapdragon 810), an
  • ARM Mali-T760 GPU
  • Quad HD (1440 x 2560) 5.5-inch display
  • 3 GB of RAM.
  • The phone supposedly has a 20 MP back camera, and a 5 MP front camera.

We can assume that the device will also have 32GB and 64GB variants, but one thing we can’t be sure of is the certainty on a MicroSD card slot. This is becase Samsung is designing the S6 from the ground up and calling it “Project Zero”. It’s safe to assume that this will mean an all metal chassis for the S6 instead of the plastic we’ve grown to associate with the brand.

All things aside, if Samsung can remember to de-bloat it’s software before it ships in an aesthetically pleasing powerhouse, they can become serious contenders in the phone market again.

Hands on with the all new #Samsung Galaxy Alpha #Samsung #Ireland by @jimboireland

Yesterday we had our hands on the all new Samsung Galaxy Alpha and we ran into some issue with video transfer,today we bring you a hands look  of the new metal clad device from Samsung and a quick tour of the device itself.

You can check out the post from yesterday HERE

 

Sit back and have a look,any questions just ask..

 

 

Below is a sample size comparison between the Sony M2 and the HTC One M8

 

First look at the #Samsung Galaxy Alpha by @jimboireland #JimbosTechNews

Today we had the opportunity to have a sneek peek at the upcoming device from the Samsung,The all new Samsung Galaxy Alpha..

First impressions of the new Metal edged device are nothing special by no means and little has been changed apart from the metal rim but the back cover has a nice rubber typed feel and its grippy compared to the usual plastic or leather faux we now see in the later devices such as the Galaxy Note 3.However the underside is of course plastic.

 

 

The back of the device has a nice feel to it with a rubber finish its soft yet grippy and its actually nice to hold and feels good in hand,this is a good change from the regular plastic finish we are use to apart from later devices that has plastic backs which are slippy.

 

 

Underneath the cover we have access to the sim card  area so no hot swap here which people prefer but im sure nobody will complain about it,everything is tucked away,there is also

 

 

Moving up to the top we can see we have the camera 12 MP and flash also we can see the headphone socket and a mic you might also notice the hump,breaking the line which takes the seamless edge away why this was done is another thing but its not really a big deal.

 

The bottom of the device hols the USB slot,and another mic,also a speaker to one side,one other thing is you will notice the two bands on each edge same applies to top these are separated by plastic  by the way.

 

On the right hand side all on offer is the power key nothing else,you can also see the ledge which allows you to remove the back cover,you will need nails to remove this,i found it awkward,been a guy and no nails and all that..

 

On the left hand side all we get is the volume toggles,up/down nothing more so as you will have noticed by now there is no dedicated camera key ,not really an issue although most phones today come with on screen options for camera but lots like the traditional camera key.

 

Looking at it from the front it does not look much different than most samsung devices only the metal edge is noticeable with the chamfered line going around the whole device,we also have one physical key and two soft keys,also we have the front facing camera and sensors on top with an earpiece over the samsung logo.

 

First impressions are,its nothing we have not seen before its a samsung with a metal body to be honest however the fact that samsung have moved away from metal will be a welcome move for most who are fed up with the plastic feel they are use to,it does feel good and solid in hand and you can get a good grip with the rubber back.

 

I would feel it will do well since marketing has kicked off a pre register options have opened samsung fans will no doubt want to try it out.

We only had some limited time today and actually had a video which seems to have got corrupted somehow hopefully we will have one up shortly..
