(Bloomberg) -- Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled its new wristwatch device in Berlin Wednesday, which includes support for contactless payments, as the company pushes to catch up to Apple Inc. in a still nascent market of wearable products. At the IFA technology tradeshow, the world's biggest smartphone maker introduced the Gear S3 Classic and Gear S3 Frontier -- two variations of the same base product, which support Samsung Pay and on the Frontier version also allow users to make phone calls or even book an Uber ride from the device without the need for a smartphone to be connected. "We want people to be able to leave their phone at home and use only the Gear," Tony Kim, from Samsung's global product planning team, said ahead of the product's announcement. Samsung, which introduced its first wristwatch-like device in 2013 ahead of Apple and other rivals to carve a share of the just-forming wearable market, failed to draw people's attention to the new w

#GalaxyTabProS #SurfacePro4 – Head-To-Head: Samsung Galaxy TabPro S Vs. Microsoft Surface Pro 4 : Samsung Electronics wants the mobile workforce to know one thing: iIs Galaxy line is about a lot more than smartphones. Samsung has been pushing hard – including at XChange 2016 this week – the message that its Galaxy TabPro S 2-in-1 is a good fit for on-the-go workers. Of course, it's Microsoft's Surface Pro line that proved the 2-in-1 convertible tablet concept could catch on with workers. But Samsung's Galaxy TabPro S is "the first 2-in-1 that could truly compete against the Microsoft Surface" line, said Tim Wagner, global president for commercial mobility services at DMI, a Bethesda, Md.-based solution provider. "By doing so, Samsung should be able to grab groundswell that Microsoft has created." The TabPro S is "the right size and has all of the right equipment under the hood," along with boasting a number of key differences from the

Samsung could capitalise on the success of the Galaxy S7 with a refurbishment program. Josh Miller/CNET The expensive Samsung phone you've always dreamed of owning might soon be available at a snip of its original price. The phone giant is set to launch a refurbished phone program as early as next year, Reuters reported on Monday, citing "a person with direct knowledge of the matter." Samsung, which recently launched the expensive Galaxy Note 7, is reportedly cooking up ideas to help it sustain current earnings momentum and boost cost efficiency. Growth in the global phone market is stagnating, but the Korean giant has weathered the storm better than most and reported its strongest earnings in two years last month -- a trend it will hope to maintain. A refurbishment program would help the company make more money on each phone it manufactures. High-end phones owned by customers on one-ye

Samsung recently launched the Galaxy Note7 smartphone handset in North America, and along with it came a new revision of the Samsung Gear VR mobile headset. If you've not yet secured your Galaxy Note7 with a free Samsung Gear VR, you'll want to be able to purchase the virtual reality (VR) device separately, and Samsung has teamed up with a number of retail partners to make exactly that possible. In concert with the Galaxy Note7 launch, the new edition of the Samsung Gear VR headset is compatible with many of the latest Galaxy phones, including Note7, Galaxy S7 and more. Samsung Gear VR allows users to explore VR anywhere, with a redesigned look in a blue-black colour and an expanded field-of-view. You can read more about the new design of the Samsung Gear VR in a hands-on feature from VRFocus. This new Samsung Gear VR is available now for $99.99 USD at Amazon.com, AT&T stores and www.att.com, Best Buy, Samsung.com, T-Mobile and Verizon. However, the VR accessories f

A couple of months back, Samsung came out with two mid-range smartphones that sold like hot cakes. The devices we are talking about are the Galaxy On5 and Galaxy On7. While there is no news about the former, the latter one is set to make its comeback in 2016. The Galaxy On7 2016 variant has been spotted at FCC. Earlier this month, the device was also spotted at TENAA, the Chinese equivalent of FCC. The FCC spotting does not reveal much other than a 3,300 mAh battery and the dimensions of the device, 151.5 x 74.9 x 8 mm. Other than that, the device will have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 4G LTE. Though this FCC spotting doesn't reveal much about the device's specs, we now know that the device is in the pipeline and will soon be revealed. However, the device's last spotting at TENAA had some information about its specs. You can check it out here. Just a money writing a race horse. Also, i write tech news and tutorials.

The OnePlus 3. Business Insider/Antonio Villas-Boas Affordable Chinese smartphones are getting better and better. While Samsung continues to stand out in both sales and makingall-around excellent phones, most of the other recognizable names in the US mobile market are facing doubts. The LG G5's stab at modularity hasn't taken off. The HTC 10 is a great machine that's entirely forgettable. The Moto Z is striking, but confused. Sony still can't get anything going. And for the first time in awhile, the buzz around Apple's next iPhone feels muted — it'll still be huge, but iPhone sales have fallen, and there's concern over whether or not the presumed iPhone 7 will drum up enough excitement. The common link between most of these premium devices is that they're priced, well, like premium devices. More and more, though, Samsung and Apple appear to be the only two that can get away with that $650+ price point. As the others struggle to make a case,

Image:ZDNet iPhone owners often tell me they continue to buy new iPhones because of the Apple "ecosystem". That may have been true a few years ago, but if you are seeking innovation and an exciting spectrum of products that all work together then you need to look to Samsung. Smartphone A new Apple iPhone is likely going to be announced next month with rumors indicating it will be very similar to the iPhone 6s, but it will not include a headphone jack. It may have some water resistance, a dual camera, and 1080p display resolution. My Samsung Galaxy Note 7 arrives today and with this device we see the pinnacle of smartphone innovation. The Note 7 has a 2k display that has been tested and awarded the title of best ever smartphone display, with full water resistance, an advanced S Pen and associated software, numerous battery charging options including fast wireless technology, and the best camera found on a smartphone. CNET Review: Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is the sex

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is a phone that the smartphone industry is claiming to be close to perfect — and the feature that has garnered the most attention is undoubtedly the display. The 5.7in QHD AMOLED display is an absolute delight to look at. Samsung has long been offering the best display tech in the market, and its position as the king in this respect is further strengthened by the Galaxy Note 7. iPhone's screen isn't ghastly either, and a lot many people prefer LCD display — of which the iPhone is a master. A lot many articles have been written comparing the Galaxy Note 7 to the iPhone 6S, going over their specs, performance, and camera (read the full comparison here: Galaxy Note 7 vs iPhone 6S Plus). In today's article, we will limit ourselves to just Galaxy Note 7's screen, and how it enables it to stand out among the competition. The Edge Display A big thumbs up to Samsung for being able to provide those curves on such a sharp, bright and vibrant disp

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient. Despite all of this, there seems to be a general disappointment with smartphones. People are increasingly finding it hard to justify phones like the HTC 10 or Galaxy S7 with competition from OnePlus, Xiaomi, and even Apple with their iPhone SE. In this context the Galaxy Note7 brings much of the flavor of the Galaxy S7 edge, but blends it with the S-Pen of the Note line and a few new features like the iris scanner. If you were paying attention to the industry with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note5, it's very much more of the same rather than the m
