According to Samsung, the new memory chip is capable of supporting seamless 4K Ultra HD video playback on a large-screen mobile device while multitasking.

With the new smartphones, Samsung offers outstanding features and specs of these two devices. Then there are the phones aiming to nail the flawless balance between price and features. When Apple introduced the iPhone 6s previous year, the company changed the way we will use smartphones; the iPhone 6s took innovation to a whole new level with 3D Touch. All the rumors, reports and leaks were true, there were no surprises when the new Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge were announced. It runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop. The Galaxy S5 is perhaps the most unpopular flagship smartphone of Samsung as it is actually the reason why Samsung lost its grip to Apple in 2014 for the title of the world's best smartphone manufacturer. You can get a VR headset and a 360 camera for both these smartphones, but Samsung has been wor

A U.S. appeals court on Friday overturned a $120 million jury verdict against Samsung, finally handing the South Korean smartphone maker a significant win in its longstanding patent feud with top rival Apple. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., said Samsung Electronics Co Ltd did not infringe Apple's "quick links" patent, and that two other patents covering the iPhone's slide-to-unlock and auto-correct features were invalid. The court also said Apple was liable for infringing one of Samsung's patents. In a statement, a Samsung spokeswoman said: "Today's decision is a win for consumer choice and puts competition back where it belongs - in the marketplace, not in the courtroom." A spokeswoman for Apple declined to comment. Apple and Samsung have been battling over mobile device technology patents for years. Apple has mostly prevailed, and in December, Samsung paid Apple $548.2 million stemming from a s

Samsung stock posted a strong recovery since last fall, moving from $875.00 per share to $1,100 per share. HTC's stand gives little space to its muted smartphone refresh, but gives plenty of play space to HTC Vive. Samsung lifted the curtain on the Galaxy S7 at the Mobile World Congress on Monday. Smartphone companion devices like 360-degree cameras and virtual reality goggles, and souped-up flagship phones dominated the announcements in the lead-up to the Mobile World Congress 2016. "Here at the beginning of 2016 who doesn't take smartphones for granted?" That's exactly what happened when the big guns of mobile technology began rolling out their latest products in a series of spectacular launches across the city. This should certainly benefit Samsung stock in the medium-term. And it fits everything in between like the iPhone 6S, Galaxy S6, LG G4, and so on. Sprint is another USA carrier to have the LG G5 in its portfolio, though the its press releas

But it isn't only in raw brightness capabilities that the Galaxy S7 excels. However, this is still unconfirmed, as Samsung may well be planning to change the design of the Galaxy Note 6, seeing as how negatively fans reacted to the similarities between the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6. The program is similar to Sprint's iPhone Forever program, which allows customers to upgrade to Apple's latest iPhone iteration each year. With each new flagship smartphone, Samsung has found ways to improve the mobile display technology even further. Samsung's mobile display business is thriving not just because most of other handset maker order screens for their flagships directly from the South Korean company, but because Samsung smartphones have the best displays on the market. According to Soneira, the Galaxy S7's screen impresses because components had to be scaled down by 20% compared to the Galaxy Note 5 without losing performance. Even though people probably very r

It seems Samsung found a unified solution for carrier locks, and this will make obsolete the procedure where each carrier has to order custom batches of Galaxy smartphones. Samsung has unveiled its attempt to "redefine what a phone can do" with the Galaxy 7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. The Galaxy S6 was one of the least sold Samsung flagship in the last couple of years, so it might not be too hard for the South Korean company to ship more Galaxy S7 units than its predecessor. As far as chromatic options go, black trims are available for both handsets, while the S7 edge version gets a special gold color. This is what the "Adoptable Storage" setup looks like in Android 6.0. Koh Dong-jin, who heads Samsung Electronics Co.'s mobile communications business, holds the Galaxy S7 smartphones in a showcase event held on February 21, 2016 in Barcelona, Spain. Other Galaxy S7 specs include Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8 Octa processor depending on the region,

Samsung said it would give Gear VR devices to people who preorder its Galaxy S7 and Alcatel, a brand of China's TCL, is shipping its new Idol handset in a box that transforms into a VR headset. The G5 comes with several accessories, such as a sound system developed by Danish firm Bang & Olufsen, and a virtual reality headset which will allow it to compete with the Gear VR headset launched by Samsung previous year.+ The focus on accessories comes with the smartphone market beginning to slow as it becomes increasingly saturated. This handy camera is a 13MP device that records photos and videos in 360-degrees and allows you to export the videos to your LG device or upload to YouTube as a 360-degree video or even to Google StreetView.

A low profile design allows for easy portability, partnered with protection that seamlessly transitions from the urban landscape to the most demanding rugged terrain.

Noah Barnes | February 25, 2016, 18:20 Samsung aims to 'redefine' smartphone capabilities with Galaxy S7 Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 edge, the company's new flagship devices for 2016 are now out. Despite offering the same resolution as the Galaxy Note 5, the smaller displays on the 5.1-inch Galaxy S7 and 5.5-inch Galaxy S7 edge mean they have greater pixel densities for sharper images and text. The Samsung Galaxy S7 has a 3,000mAh battery while the Galaxy S7 edge has a 3,600mAh battery. Many websites have pointed out that S7 is nothing but a higher form of the Samsung Galaxy S6. We've seen some attractive smartphones (despite being similar to their predecessors, Samsung's new Galaxy phones fall into the category) and some daring ones (we're looking at you, modular LG G5), but this year's show was more about the wearable gadgets that came with the phones than the phones themselves. Samsung's had a year to ideal the Edge version's

The Galaxy S7 was just announced and it's already impressing Android fans all over the world. The first time you try to use a microSD card as adopted storage, your phone would also reformat the card, erasing any data you may have. We can't wait to see Android 6.0 Marshmallow on the Galaxy Note 5 and we're also very eager to see Samsung's upcoming flagship which is promising to kill all competition pretty quickly now. Samsung's Super AMOLED displays often win the approval of DisplayMate, and it doesn't look like that's going to change anytime soon, with each Galaxy introducing a new screen that's even better than the one that came before it. Interestingly, DisplayMate says testing shows that the Galaxy S7's screen is better than 2015's Galaxy Note 5, a device which has a much larger screen and should therefore be able to outperform its new stablemate. Samsung also started rolling out the Marshmallow update for the Galaxy Note 5 last we

Samsung, HP take contrasting approaches to business uses for Android, Windows 10 Mobile The new flagship Galaxy smartphone is jampacked with the latest technologies, but one feature may have been overlooked by most. Samsung's new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge have the best smartphone displays ever tested by the experts at DisplayMate. Rather than creating a new design, Samsung stuck with what worked for the Galaxy S6 and made several improvements under the hood that fans will immediately notice and appreciate. Reputable tech analyst Dr. Raymond Soneira of DisplayMate has just published its in-depth analysis of Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge displays, and according to him they are unrivaled. Apple has reportedly been "consulting with display makers" about OLED technology to eliminate potential drawbacks, which now range from shorter lifespans to higher manufacturing costs than LCD displays. Any South Korea-based Galaxy Note 5 users reading this? Th

Samsung previously announced that its new flagships will tout 12 MP shooters capable of capturing attractive photos even in low-light. The carrier will offer the 32GB variant of the Galaxy S7 starting at $23.17 (AU$32.31) per month in its 30-month Next 24 plan. The Galaxy S7 has a flat 5.1in screen but a curved glass back, adding to the ergonomics. They can all be charged wirelessly. The S7 and S7 edge are not cheap. What's new now is that the Samsung will be coming in with a new Always On Display. Another concern from last year's Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge is battery life. Qualcomm said that it has fixed the overheating problem of the S810 processors in its latest chipset. At the end of 2015, Samsung started a beta-test program for the Marshmallow on several Galaxy S-series smartphones and recently, many reports from users in South Korea and the United States said that the company has started rolling out the update. Samsung also unveiled the new Gear

Unveiled on the eve of the Mobile World Congress tech show, the new S7 and S7 Edge were said to the best phones that Samsung has ever made. As nice as the Galaxy S6 line up was, a lot of faithful Samsung fans were disappointed when the phones arrived without removable batteries or expandable storage. Samsung admitted it was wrong to remove the microSD from the Galaxy S6's design previous year by bringing it back for the Galaxy S7. As for the rest of the device, the S7 and S7 edge will see the AMOLED display on 5.1-inch and 5.5-inch panels respectively and each will boast the same QHD display (2550x1440 pixels). Furthermore, you're safe if your phone sits in water 1,5km deep for 30 minutes. "We believe in a world that's brighter, sharper, more convenient, and more fun".

Samsung has recently unveiled its latest smartphone, the Galaxy S7, a follow-up in the same line the company has been producing for years now. Regardless of what you think of it, it's sure to be popular, and getting widespread adoption requires carriers to be on board. One such carrier, T-Mobile, is trying to sweeten the deal in an effort to grab more customers.

The Mobile World Congress is one of the three most important technology fairs of the year, and although it is mainly focused on the world of smartphones, Samsung Electronics impressed many with the debut of its Samsung Connect Auto dongle. As explained in a report from The Verge via Yahoo! News, the device provides a way for owners of older cars to add LTE connectivity to their vehicles. The Samsung Connect Auto dongle plugs into a car's OBD II diagnostic port (most cars built in the last two decades have this port) and lets drivers monitor their vehicle's performance as well as locate it. The report also explained that it acts as a Wi-Fi hotspot for connecting to the internet with other devices while in the vehicle. "Samsung Connect Auto uses real-time alerts to help users improve their driving behavior, including increased fuel efficiency, while offering a Wi-Fi connection to keep passengers online while on-the-go.

The S7 has a 5.1-in. display while the S7 Edge features a 5.5-in curved display. Samsung also included an "always on" display feature, similar to the LG G5, another smartphone that was also announced Sunday on the eve of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Samsung said both phones have proximity sensors that will know when a phone is in a pocket -- to be able to turn itself off -- or in a darkened room, to turn down the brightness. With 4GB memory and powerful processors, Samsung estimated that both new phones operate 30% faster than previous models. Qualcomm will provide Snapdragon 820 processors for the models sold in the U.S., whil
