Some good news for Android lovers across the world who are looking for a new smartphone. In light of its very recent, but yet another disappointing quarterly earnings, Samsung is reportedly planning on cutting the price of its Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge handsets in an attempt to boost uptake and revenue. Earnings calls are always a difficult time for companies that appear to be in a transitional period. Samsung reported a net profit of approximately $4.9 billion, which represents a reduced profit of 8% from last year; not great news for the South Korean company.
High-resolution photos of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Note 5 has been leaked, shows the device in its full glory. The construction of the new Galaxy Note 5 is, as expected, similar to the Galaxy S6 in that it features a metal frame and glass front and back that gives the handset a more solid appearance and feel than the plastic used historically.
New photos of Samsung's upcoming flagship devices, Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+, have leaked. Both widely believed to be on the verge of an August announcement, the two devices are set to be big releases for Samsung, especially the always popular Galaxy Note lineup.
If you actually stopped and took time to consider the power that you hold within your hand when using your smartphone you'd probably be shocked at how far devices and manufacturers have come in such a short space of time. The announcement and release of the Apple iPhone back in 2007 lit a fire under the smartphone market which for the first time saw mainstream users start to part with as much cash as business users and executives alike. Now, thanks to a brilliantly put together video by CNET, we can take a look at the evolution of smartphone design over the last eight years.
A new smartphone case not just brings additional battery life to Samsung's flagship Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge smartphones, but also allows the use of an microSD card for extra storage space as well.
It seems that Samsung is all about the design at the moment. After delighting the Asian market with the introduction of the extremely thin Galaxy A8 last week, the South Korean company has now offered the same level of attention to a new set of tablet devices. The unveiling of the Galaxy Tab S2, which replaces last year's Tab S, represents Samsung's thinnest tablet devices in the history of the company and even offer a sleeker profile than that of Apple's thinnest iPad, the iPad Air 2.
Samsung may still be one of the largest smartphone vendors out there at the moment but the company undeniably has a lot of improvement to make after suffering its seventh consecutive early loss in profits. After pinning its hopes on the Galaxy S6, Samsung is now hoping that the soon-to-be-released Galaxy Note 5 will make a worldwide impact on its profits. In addition to that, the company has also taken the opportunity to introduce the extremely stylish and new Galaxy A8 smartphone in China today.
The 'Battle of the Sixes' report has been published by and it makes for some interesting reading. GameBench created the report as an opportunity to create the "first objective comparison of the Apple iPhone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 on the basis of real-world gaming performance." Put simply, if you're heavily into high-end mobile gaming on your smartphone, are you better off investing in Apple's iPhone 6 or Samsung's Galaxy S6? It seems that last year's iPhone 6 is still capable of edging out this year's competition by a good 10% "average lead."
In an announcement that is sure to cause at least some concern to shareholders, Samsung has announced that it expects its Q2 2015 profits to be down four percent on the same period last year. Despite launching a strong portfolio of smartphones during the period, it would seem that Korean based Samsung has misread the potential demand for the devices and admits that sales of the Galaxy S6 have failed to live up to expectations in a competitive marketplace resulting in a profit drop for the seventh consecutive year.
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.
