With Samsung having just unveiled the much awaited Galaxy Note 5 and the larger Galaxy S6 Edge+, it was inevitable that the Korean giant would present us with an official launch date for its fabled mobile payment system; Samsung Pay.
Samsung has officially announced both Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ during the dedicated Unpacked media event at the Lincoln Center. The South Korean company has also taken the opportunity to introduce a rather innovative and unique accessory for the new phablets that should go some way to appealing to BlackBerry owners who have thus far refused to move away from the beleaguered smartphone maker. Let us introduce you to Samsung's new Keyboard Cover that's built purely with the new phones announced today in mind.
Parallels Access app for iOS has just been updated to version 3.0, bringing with it a bunch of improvements, most notably the experimental support for playing PC games on your iPhone or iPad, support for the Apple Watch, and file sharing for both Android and iOS devices.
You can now download Stagefright Android 5.1.1 LMY48I fix for Nexus 6, 5, 4 and Nexus 9, 10 to patch the critical Android vulnerability which can let hackers take over any device by simply sending a text message.
Sometimes, just when you think you've seen every bad idea in smartphones - usually with a BlackBerry logo on it - something comes along and reminds you that there will always be something even more ridiculous around the corner.
Turn away now if you're an Android smartphone user with a nervous disposition that has only been made worse with the recent spate of vulnerabilities within Google's OS that have become public knowledge. A number of security researchers from Israel have yet more bad news for Android device owners after discovering a bug that could potentially allow malicious individuals to take control of an unwitting device through the distribution of a solitary text message. What's even worse is that unlike previously discovered Android vulnerabilities, this one doesn't come with a simple fix.
If you have been on the fence about ordering a Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge and are a fan of T-Mobile, then now may be the time to get that order in after the company slashed prices by as much as $200.
Every so often someone comes along and thinks they're funny. Just as regularly, they make a video out of it. What a time to be alive.
Samsung just can't quite catch a break right now, and after posting another worrying earnings report, the company has started its first round of Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge price cuts. Unfortunately however, if you want to see a cheaper Galaxy S phone you will need to be in the Netherlands, as that is the only Samsung store to reflect the newly discounted price as of yet. If you do have access to Samsung Netherland's online store though, a €100 (around $100 USD) discount awaits you starting on 32GB Galaxy S6, and €150 (around $165 USD) starting on 32GB S6 Edge.
It's only a matter of weeks until Samsung officially unveils the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ at its dedicated Unpacked media event on August 13. However, such is the thirst for knowledge within the smartphone industry that consumers just cannot wait an additional two weeks to see what Samsung has in store with its two new Android flagships. Thankfully, Evan Blass of @evleaks appears to have all of the gory details on the Korean company's fifth-generation Galaxy Note and has shared them with the world.
