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 unveils the #GearS3 Frontier and Classic #Smartwatch. #IFA2016 #Samsung

So here we are once more with the latest news about tech during the IFA 2016, and as we were expecting Samsung was one of the first manufacturers to offer some new goodies to consumers.

Enter the new Gear S3 smartwatch

The GS3 will be available in two variants, one for the outdoor adventurous called Frontier

Front
Side
Back

and another for the more conservatives called Classic

Front
Side
Back

This time, Samsung went all in by using their own OS to power this devices. Tizen is a truly unique platform that seems to work better with wearable tech that anything else.

Both of them look and feel more like a normal watch than previous generations, probably due the bigger display and thicker structure. Also being waterproof with IP68 gives a sense of tranquility when using them outdoor or under heavy rain.

Onto the screens, both are covered by Gorilla Glass SR+, which was specifically designed for better clarity and improved scratch resistance. Also, there’s a new “Always on display” that will show the full color watchface.

Maybe it doesn’t look as a big upgrade just from the outside, but take a look at internals and is a whole different history

As you can see, packs anything you could ask for, even a GPS to work on its own when no phone is around, also this devices will have a LTE option as well.

We suspect the bigger battery was added to accommodate the new AOD feature but Samsung has add a few extra battery saver modes to improve it, one of which will turn your fancy new smartwatch in a “dumbwatch” that will only show you the time.

Although you can activated whenever you want, it will automatically active itself when the battery drops till 5%.

Sales are expected to star in October, mostly for the BT only variant with the LTE version coming shortly after.

The Frontier will come with 2 silicone bands (one large, one small) while the Classic will come with a leather band (as you could imagine).

Cost will be around €399..Ouch…

What are your thougths on these? Will you upgrade your smartwatch game if you already have the GS2? Or will you jump on it?

One for the Ladies, Samsung just unveiled a new “Pink Gold” #GalaxyS7 exclusively at BestBuy. #Android #Samsung

Although Samsung announced the Note7 recently, the S line up is not to be forgotten as they just got a new family member.

A Pink Gold coloured version

 

Maybe the photo doesn’t  let you really appreciate the theme on this variant for it’s  way more impressive live.

The only downside, as far as now you can have this phone in the US only thanks to a BestBuy deal. The good side is the fact there’s a model for each carrier including Verizon wireless.

Adding new colors at this time probably is their way to boost S7 sales now the Note7 is in town.

But to be honest, I’d have jumped  right on  was the beautiful Emerald Green color they have for the S6 edge.

But let us know, Would import this version if not available elsewhere? Or if you are in the States, will you get one for that special lady? Sound off below or join the twitter conversation

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 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?

#TheNextGalaxy to be unveiled on February 21st By @VicenteA_George #Samsung #Android

It’s finally happening!

For all of those who have been waiting for the new Samsung Galaxy device, the wait is over.

With a single video with no sound Samsung give us a sample about the next “Unpacked” event that’s gonna be held during MWC 2016 in Barcelona, to be more precise February the 21st

Something we can imagine thanks to the video is that Samsung is going to have the event with VR compatibility as the person in the video is using the Gear VR-

But without further add, here’s the video:

As you can see is pretty straight forward, with zero to none about anything, but the device itself had have lots of leaks by now and for all of them we can tell almost no differences between the current model and new upcoming one.

Maybe and if we’re lucky an SD card slot, but apparently removable batteries are dying as manufactures already realized how profitable is selling power banks (Samsung has plenty offers in that department).

Now let us know! Will you get the next big thing from Samsung? Or are you going to skip this version and wait for the S8? Sound off in the comment section or tweet us using @jimboireland or @VicenteA_George
