Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OTA Update Available For Galaxy Note 5

There are two new galaxies in this universe: the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. The S7 and S7 Edge will also have wireless charging.

The free Gear VR deal is valid with a Galaxy S7 installment plan, 2-year contract plan, lease, or outright purchase at full retail price. There’s a 5.1-inch S7 and a 5.5-inch S7 Edge, both of which have Quad HD Super AMOLED displays with a frankly ridiculous 2,560×1,440-pixel resolution.

You can even share it straight to a Gear Virtual Reality headset – or to others via 360 capabilities in Facebook and Youtube. “And Gear VR is by far the most social experience – the best hardware, from Samsung, with the best social network integration with Facebook”.

Analysts and technology reporters suggested the biggest challenge for Samsung will be convincing users that it is offering something new. The S7 and S7 Edge do a better job of balancing good looks and customer friendly features, but they’re still not flawless.

Telstra’s Director of Devices, Andrew Volard said the new smartphones were set to be a hit with Australians. With Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built-in, users can sync the camera with a dedicated app on certain Samsung smartphones, including the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, where 2D footage can be previewed in real-time.

Although the glass and metal body didn’t surprise anyone, it was good to find out that both new phones are completely dust and water resistant.

My pick is the S7 Edge – I have grown to love bigger size screens and the extra battery life that comes packed into the Edge model will come in handy.

The ball-shaped camera, features two 195-degree lenses – one on the front, another on the back.

The company has already announced that both the new Galaxy phones will be available in select regions including the USA starting March 11 while pre-orders kick-off from Tuesday.

But Samsung is facing competition from fellow mobile phone firms HTC, which has developed the Vive system in collaboration with Valve, and LG, which showed off its virtual reality headset earlier on Sunday.

Samsung Pay supports magnetic secure transmission technology that works on traditional credit card machines.
