Samsung, creator of the famous Galaxy S Series of devices and one of the largest smartphone vendors in the world, is reportedly so anxious about the upcoming release of Apple's iPhone 6s that it's rushing to try and hit the market with its own next-generation "phablet" - the Galaxy Note 5.
The official unveiling of Samsung's Galaxy Note 5 may be a few months away, but it looks as though the South Korean company is well on its way to converge its design philosophies to head down a very specific aesthetic route across all ranges. A leaked 3D CAD file which purports to show the design and visuals of Samsung's next-generation Galaxy Note gives us the clearest indication yet that Samsung is planning on launching the Note 5 with heavy visual inspiration borrowed from its current Galaxy S6 flagship smartphone.
A newly published report suggests that Apple is planning on increasing storage capacity of the entry-level iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. It appears that Apple is in talks with Samsung for supplying these larger flash-based storage units.
Great news for road warriors, or just people who never seem to make it through a day on a single smartphone charge today, after it was announced that Samsung has developed technology that could almost double the battery life of our devices. Tests have shown the new batteries last between 1.6 and 1.8 times the length of current technology, according to the manufacturer. Sounds too good to be true isn't it? It most definitely is.
When you purchase a Windows powered desktop or notebook, more often than not you ultimately agree, whether knowingly or unknowingly, to sell your soul to the bloatware demons. Sure, Windows may still be the most popular desktop operating system in the world based on sheer volume, but that doesn’t prevent individual OEMs from forcing their horrendous bloatware down the throats of consumers at every given opportunity. Now, it seems that Samsung, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of PCs, and shippers of bloatware, is taking things a little further by not only forcing its bloatware onto users, but also forcing the shutdown of one of Windows biggest features – automatic updates by Microsoft.
Drivers from pretty much every region across the globe are familiar with the frustration which follows tailgating a slower moving truck. On a two lane road, it becomes virtually impossible to overtake the truck without risking running into incoming traffic from the other end, but Samsung is showing us how all of this can be avoided. The company is demoing the 'Safety Truck' which carries 4 screen panels at the back showing live camera feed of the road up ahead.
The selfie craze is not going away, and if anything, it's infecting all those who even oppose the idea. This is the age of the selfie, and Samsung has decided to cash in on this craze with the announcement of the Galaxy J5 and J7 smartphones. The devices are part of the Galaxy J lineup of handsets from the Korean giant, but unlike those before them, these two new phones feature a front-facing LED flash for producing some bright selfies under low lighting conditions.
Samsung’s "me-too" attitude may have worked for the company on many ocassions, but in times like these where ‘who copies whom’ or for that matter ‘everyone copies everyone’ is a debate everyone likes to get into, there is little room for error, be it a PR stunt. A recent trick by the Korean giant is believed to have backfired yet again, and it might be an all too familiar feeling for the electronics company.
Sony and Samsung’s agreement to allow owners of select Samsung Smart TVs to play games via PlayStation Now has now borne fruit, with gamers being able to play PlayStation 3 titles wihout the need for PS or Sony hardware of any kind.
Sometimes Samsung really just cannot help itself, because when you think that things may be taking a turn for the better with the company having put out arguably its two best smartphones yet in the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, it still manages to drag itself into the gutter.
