Well, just when you didn't think that ridiculous partnering deals couldn't get any more, well, ridiculous, comes the news that Samsung is going to release a special Iron Man version of its two flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
Samsung may be considered among the mobile industry's elite, but its bread-and-butter expertise lies in the field of displays. Samsung's television range is expansive, to say the least, and the Korean outfit has been integral in the pushing the technology further than ever before in recent years. Today, the company has introduced a new add-on for older smart TVs that, as well as pushing the Tizen OS, gives these slightly-aged panels a welcome hardware upgrade.
If you have been putting off pulling the trigger on a brand new Samsung Galaxy S6 then now is the time to wait no more, after the company announced that it would be giving every owner of its new flagship phone a suite of free digital goods and access to certain online services. The package, according to Samsung itself, is worth in excess of $500.
One of the many features to be appreciated of the Samsung Galaxy S6 - like most of the company's top-end smartphones, to be fair - is the raw power under the hood. Unsurprisingly, Sammy has delivered an absolute beast of a handset once more in the S6, and allied to its 64-bit, octa-core Exynos processor, the flagship also throws in a substantial 3GB of RAM. But while these features all seem dandy when written down, Qualcomm's overheating Snapdragon 810 has proved that weighty-sounding tech specs don't always deliver the goods, and some users of the S6 have found it to be burning through more RAM during menial use than necessary.
In a world where the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are meant to counter the increasing market share of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the Korean giant's front runner is not really setting the stage on fire at home as far as sales are concerned. According to a new report, Samsung is looking at just 20,000 units sold per day since the phone was released.
The decision to integrate biometric detection into consumer electronics may be popular with users and shows the willingness of companies to embrace emerging technologies, but the fundamental reason for such integration boils down to one thing: an attempt to improve security. The data associated with biometric capture extends beyond a simple password or code created by the user. It actually forms part of who that person is as an individual and is quite possibly as personal as it can get, so when things go wrong, as one research company will point out at this week's RSA, it raises a lot more eyebrows than a simple password breach. According to a new report, a number of Android devices are failing to protect the data of users that is captured through integrated biometric sensors.
Oh dear, how does this keep happening? Earlier today celebrity Nick Cannon sent out a tweet that waxed lyrical about the new Samsung Galaxy S6 that T-Mobile had hooked him up with. That's all well and good, and at that point we really don't have too much to say.
Samsung Galaxy S6 woes continue to build up. Apparently, Samsung's front-runner has a serious quality issue concerned with the paintjob around the camera ring, where it is seemingly peeling off pretty easily, while the LED glass panel could actually be extremely prone to scratches.

Everyone loves Tesla, except maybe someone with shares in an oil company. From what we’re hearing in reviews and hands-on time, everyone loves the new Samsung Galaxy S6 as well, which is quite the feat considering some of the stick Samsung has received in the past. But what does Tesla have to do with a Samsung smartphone you ask? Well, it’s obvious.
