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.

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.

Samsung may be considered among the mobile industry's elite, but its bread-and-butter expertise lies in the field of displays.

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.
Those of us carrying Apple hardware around with us, be that a smartwatch, a smartphone, a tablet or a notebook tend to have a few things in common. One of those things is a keen eye for design, whether that be for actually doing it or just appreciating it when design is done well. The latter is much easier than the former, that's for sure.
The battle for supremacy in the smartphone arena continues to rage, and with this week's Mobile World Congress, we've seen a number of high-profile announcements from some of the major players in the industry. Among them is Samsung, which has announced the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge as it looks to recover from a torrid 2014, and we're just now learning that amid the poor sales general and lack of enthusiasm towards the many smartphones that Sammy launched last year, bitter rival Apple also overtook it as the world's foremost smartphone manufacturer in the final quarter.
