At this point, Samsung has rolled out the Galaxy S7 Oreo update in most countries around the world. The company put Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge owners through a rather excruciating wait for what is supposed to be its last major upgrade. Perhaps that's the reason Samsung took its time, wanting to make sure […]
Samsung's entire flagship lineup for 2016 is now available. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge have been out for a few months now while the Galaxy Note 7 was only released a few of days ago. These smartphones more or less have the same specifications with the only major changes being limited to the design […]
Since the debut of the Galaxy S6 edge last year, Samsung has put a lot of focus on its curved screen technology, having launched three smartphones with displays that curve on both sides. The Edge screen wasn't very functional on the S6 edge, but Samsung has continually added new features over the last year. Those features […]
If there's one battle that neither Apple nor Samsung can claim to win, it's keeping its consumers interested in its products and from opting for devices from the competition. While Apple can boast of having more iPhone users that have jumped ship from a Samsung handset, Samsung has a large number of customers that have […]
Samsung has been using AMOLED displays on its flagships since the first Galaxy S, but it took the company seven years to introduce a feature like Always On Display, which shows the time and notifications when a device is sitting idle. OLED displays are most suited to such a feature, as these displays only power […]
With a considerably larger battery on the Galaxy S7 edge compared to the S6 edge, and even compared to the Galaxy S6 edge+ or Note 5, you would expect the flagship to offer out of this world battery life right out of the box. That is unfortunately not the case, and as we noted in our review, […]
The Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge come with a lot of new software options, such as the Game Launcher app and the Always On Display mode. Samsung is also playing around with some experimental features under the ‘Galaxy Labs' settings. One of these options lets users turn off the app drawer by placing all the installed apps […]
Like the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are being offered in four color options. Black, white and gold are making a return, while the rather glaring blue version has been replaced by the galactically more attractive silver model. The black color version of the S7 and S7 edge is […]
We won't lie to you guys: We love what Samsung has done this year with the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge. These new flagships offer all of the major features one would expect and fix every flaw in the Galaxy S6 lineup. But at the same time, we are fully aware that there are quite […]
The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are here, and they are awesome, at least from what we saw in the short time we played with the devices. Both devices come with the same specs, but the S7 edge has the Edge display (and is larger in size) with improved Edge functionality, including the ability […]
The Galaxy Note Edge was Samsung's first smartphone with a curved “edge” display. It was announced at the IFA 2014 trade show in Berlin. Simply put, the functionality was amazing. The Galaxy Note Edge felt great in the hand and was easy to use thanks to its curved display. The software features, particularly Apps Edge, […]
When Samsung first launched the Galaxy S6 edge with its dual-curve display, people were skeptical of the kind of utility those edges would provide, given the edges were much smaller than the single edge on the Galaxy Note Edge. Indeed, the Edge screen on the Galaxy S6 edge wasn't packed with functionality, but it's been […]
In a surprise move, Samsung released the final version of Nougat for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge today. Folks part of the beta test are getting the update first, but Samsung will be making it available for everyone shortly. As we noted in our earlier post, this is one of the shortest times […]
It's increasingly being rumored these days that Samsung is only going to release an edge version of the Galaxy S8 next year. One might say that this is inevitable given that both the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S7 saw the edge version outsell its flat counterpart by a significant margin. There were rumors this year that […]
Samsung's 2015 lineup of Galaxy flagships brought some major changes, including a revamped physical design and greatly improved software. But while they fixed some long-standing issues, all four Galaxy flagships from last year took away some major features, mainly expandable storage and removable batteries. In case of the latter, Samsung added insult to injury by putting in […]
