Samsung Galaxy Note 6 is likely to be launched in the Q3 of 2016. More specially, some say it will be powered by a Snapdragon 823 which can support up to 8GB RAM and…

Samsung Galaxy Note 6 to pack SD823 and 8GB RAM?

Samsung smartphones are getting more and more famous thanks to powerful hardware and beautiful designs. And their Note series is also not an exception. After Samsung Galaxy Note 5, people now are looking forward to the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 launch this year. It is predicted to sport a lot of top features for smartphones nowadays, but according to what we’ve heard so far, it can be even more than “gorgeous”.

Specifically, a recent source from China has hinted that the Note 6 will be run by Adreno 530 GPU and a new Qualcomm’s chipset called Snapdragon 823. This processor is said to be a “higher-clocked version of Snapdragon 820, running on four Kryo cores clocked at 2.6GHz.” And you know what, the chip can support up to 8GB of RAM. Amazing! It would be a real beast phone in 2016.

Apart from those details, no more words have been made for the Samsung Galaxy Note 6 specs. Anyhow, we hope to see a Quad HD display, Android N operating system, 128GB ROM (expandable up to 200GB), a fantastic camera combo, capability of being dust plus water resistant, and a huge battery (at least 4,000mAh) on board. Then, Galaxy Note 6 will be a perfect device, don’t you think?

Samsung Galaxy Note 6 price and availability

As for Samsung Galaxy Note 6 release date and price, we did not receive any information for them. Yet, the second half of the year is very likely to be the most ideal time. In case of being the first machine coming with 8GB RAM, the Galaxy Note 6 price would not be very affordable for sure. What’s your suggestion? Share with us! (Source)

Lately, Samsung Galaxy S7 has been spotted in Geekbench’s database, showing up with super powerful new chip. How does it sound? 

Samsung Galaxy S7 to sport excellent deca-core Helio X20 and X25

According to what we know about Samsung smartphones, they, especially Galaxy S and Note models, are usually equipped with the company’s Exynos or Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets, depending on the markets Samsung supplies the phones to. So far, there has been just one exception: Samsung Galaxy S6. It only has Exynos 7420 version because at the time the S6 debuted, Snapdragon 810 was so “famous” for heating issue.

This year, the S7 has got back on track, offering consumers two options: Exynos 8890 and Snapdragon 820. However, there can be more since recently Geekbench has shown two variants of the Galaxy S7 run by MediaTek chips. They are coded the same – Samsung SM-G930W8 (with G930 for the S7 and W for Canadian vers), but powered by different processors: octa-core Exynos 8890, deca-core Helio X25 and deca-core Helio X20. Besides, you should also note that the X20 Galaxy S7 will be equipped with 3GB of RAM while the others go with 4GB of RAM.

Apart from some of the phones’ specs, Geekbench also revealed their benchmark scores to be 6,416, 6,014 và 5,943 points, respectively. We can see that the difference is not much, showing that they are all strong to give you great experience. For other Samsung Galaxy S7 specs, it is very likely they are the same as the original handset.

New Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphones’ prices and availability

As for Samsung Galaxy S7 prices, we predict they will range from $670 to $700. Though, about their availability, indeed the “W” of the SM-G930W8 hints that the above Galaxy S7 machines will be shipped in Canada. Nonetheless, the manufacturer has not confirmed if those guys only go on sale in Canada. Then, we’d better wait a bit more for an official announcement from Samsung.

Until now, there are a lot of Android phones available on the shelves. But, if you want to know which ones are truly good in terms of designs, hardware, and fame, check out the following list! 

1. Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge

Showing up at MWC 2016, Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge received much positive feedback from the crowd. Spec-wise, the Galaxy S7 owns a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED QHD screen, TouchWiz UI based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, a Snapdragon 820/Exynos 8890 chip, 32/64GB ROM (+ 200GB), and 4GB RAM. In addition to Samsung Galaxy S7 specs, there are a combo of 12MP primary plus 5MP secondary shooter to take picture and a 3,000mAh battery to fuel the handset.

For Samsung Galaxy S7 edge specs, there are not many differences, but you should note that the edge version comes with a larger display measuring 5.5 inches and curved edges for sure. Besides, its batt is also bigger when capable of 3,600mAh. Other its features are the same as the Galaxy S7.

Some new leaks about the world’s first foldable smartphone produced by Samsung have been spotted. Let’s check out what it offers and looks like!

Samsung foldable phone is coming true!

Back to 2015, at the end of the year, a Samsung foldable phone was leaked once under the name Project Valley. The smartphone was said to be consisting of two screens that could be folded, literally, and about to be introduced in January 2016. Well, January passed and saw no foldable phone. And at the time we thought it would just be a concept, the device was mentioned once again.

Speaking more specifically, a latest report from Korea has informed us that Sammy will start mass-producing foldable displays at end of this year. Some of its specifications have also been unveiled. According to the report, the upcoming Samsung foldable machine will pack a 5.0-inch screen “in folded form”, and can turn into a 7.0-inch tablet when being un-folded or opened (like what you see in the picture). Interesting, huh?!

Apart from the special display, some other sources even suggest that the firm is testing both Qualcomm Snapdragon 620 and SD 820 chip to run the Project Valley smartphone, while 3 GB of RAM will also be on board to help. So, those are what we’ve got so far. Hopefully more Project Valley specs will be revealed in the next weeks.

Project Valley price and availability

Please note that the handset’s mass production will be conducted in late 2016 and the phone will arrive next year. This will be a truly new step in the mobile market. As for the Samsung foldable smartphone price, no word has been made yet, but we predict it can cost around $700. What do you think? Is it a reasonable tag? If not, can you suggest another one?

Finally, Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) launch has been officially occurred after a long time of being rumored. It’s gonna not surprise many of us!

Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro specs and design: Great things you need to know!

We just saw Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) and J7 (2016) introduced in China and now it is Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016)’s turn. It was also officially announced in China as well. And like what we heard about it before, the Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) is essentially a slightly upgraded version of Samsung Galaxy A9 (2016) released in January 2016. As for design, there is also no difference between the A9’s and A9 Pro’s appearance. Yeah, maybe it is already beautiful, so no improvement was required.

Talking about Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) specs, it sports the same big 6.0-inch Full HD display and the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor. However, you should note that the Pro ver packs huge 4GB RAM instead of the A9’s 3GB RAM. It will surely bring you smooth performances. Other features include 32GB of internal storage, a 16MP camera on the back, a massive, wonderful 5,000mAh battery equipped with fast charging tech, and the latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS.

Well, those are such top excellent specifications for smartphones nowadays and Samsung has just launched a flagship model although it does not belong to a flagship series. We bet many more consumers in general and Samsung fans in particular will feel satisfied with this handset when it is brought to more international markets.

Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro price and availability

They revealed not only Galaxy A9 Pro specs but also its cost. Apparently, Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) price is 3,499 Yuan (or $540). We think that is a good tag for such a phablet and hopefully when entering other markets, it will not be different much. OK, after knowing everything about this new Samsung phone, what are your feelings and opinions?

Apple iPhone SE vs Galaxy S7 mini will show you that small smartphones also have their own strengths. Yet, in case of wanting to know which one is the better, check out the following comparison now!

iPhone SE VS Galaxy S7 Mini: Best sub 5.0-inch smartphone battle ever!

First of all, let’s talk about iPhone SE specs. It was launched a few days ago with a very handy 4.0-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD (640 x 1136p) screen, an Apple A9 dual-core 1.84GHz chipset, 16/64GB of internal storage (non-expandable), and 2GB of RAM. Besides, the whole machine runs on iOS 9.3 and gets energy from a non-removable 1,642mAh battery. As for photography, you can use its 12MP f/2.2 rear camera (with PDAF plus dual LED flash) or 1.2MP f/2.4 front snapper (with face detection, HDR plus FaceTime over Wi-Fi or Cellular) to take pictures. In general, iPhone SE is a very decent device that can do any task you want well. How about Samsung Galaxy S7 mini?

It’s like Samsung has decided to join the sub 5.0-inch smartphone race since some information about a mini version of the flagship Galaxy S7 has been leaked recently. Spec-wise, it is said to pack a 4.6-inch HD display. Apart from that feature, other Samsung Galaxy S7 mini specs will be the same as its bigger sibling: either Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890 chip(or both), yet with 3GB of RAM paired with 32/64GB of ROM (expandable). Furthermore, the handset can also sport a “periscope lens” with 3x optical zoom for its 12MP main shooter.

So, talking about designs, we bet both iPhone SE and the upcoming Galaxy S7 mini are all beautiful, pocketable as well as easy to hold. However, if we really need to pick out a stronger smartphone, it is the Samsung Galaxy S7 mini that is a bit better than its rival in terms of hardware. Do you agree?

iPhone SE VS Galaxy S7 Mini: Price and availability

As for iPhone SE price, the 16GB iPhone SE costs $399 while the 64GB ver costs $499. Its pre-orders started from March 24 and consumers can look forward to March 31 as the official Apple iPhone SE release date. On the other hand, there has been no word made for Samsung Galaxy S7 mini price yet, but we are predicting a price tag of around $450 – $500. Well, in fact, their price tags are not very different from each other, right? Then, which one is your champion? Share with us!

As Apple iPhone SE with a 4 inch display is becoming a trend, Samsung is announcing that after the release of Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, there will be a mini version coming up the way.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Mini – direct rival to iPhone SE

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge were launched not long ago, and have received very positive feed backs for their awesome features. With a 12MP and f/1.7, 26mm lens, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge camera was entitled the best among all current smartphones. But they are not going to take a rest any time soon. As iPhone SE has made smaller sized smartphones more of a trend again, Samsung is about to manufacture their own handset to join the competition.

Samsung Galaxy S7 mini specs is said to include a 46 inch display with 720p resolution. The smartphone will use the same hardware from its bigger sibling: either Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890 (or both), but with a slightly smaller RAM of 3GB. The whole handset measures 9.9 mm in thickness yet rumored to sport a “periscope lens” with 3x optical zoom. The camera of this phone will also has 12MP resolution on the back. There will be 2 internal memory variants: 32GB and 64GB, both expandable to another 200GB.

There is no hint about Samsung Galaxy S7 mini price yet. Nor is there reveal about its release. However, with similar powerful features and a smaller RAM, this mini version will definitely cost less than its bigger sibling. We are predicting a price tag of around USD 450 – USD 500, which is equivalent to around PHP 21,000 and RS 30,000

Samsung Galaxy S7 Mini: smaller doesn’t mean weaker

As you may have already noticed, more and more smartphones are launching with a small display that falls into the 4-inch category. Being one of the pioneers to join the game, Samsung Galaxy S7 mini targets to raise direct competition with the famous iPhone SE. If you are the one who decides, which among the 2 is a better deal?

Samsung Galaxy Note 6 will be the first smartphone in the world to on Android N, not a Google Nexus? That’s interesting!

Samsung Galaxy Note 6 to be the first phone to sport Android N?

A few days ago, we heard that Samsung Galaxy Note 6 would be equipped with whooping 6GB of RAM. Now, another piece of news suggests it will be released with Android N operating system in July 2016. This will probably make the Samsung flagship the world’s first machine to run on the latest OS of Google. According to a report by a Korean website called The Bell, the Note 6 has been spotted under the codename “Grace” and it is likely that Samsung Galaxy Note 6 launch will take place in the middle of July.

If so, we assume Android N OS will have been ready by that time. Actually, it totally can happen since last week, Google surprised us all with the developer preview of their Android N (maybe Nutella) for select smartphones (Nexus 6, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9,Nexus Player, plus Pixel C). Besides, Google’s I/O event (where the company usually unveils their new OS) has been announced to happen between May 18 and May 20, 2016.

So, up to now, there are two features (6GB RAM and Android N) kind of sure to get on board. Nonetheless, other Samsung Galaxy Note 6 specs are still unknown. Yet, it is expected to boast a 5.8-inch Quad HD screen, a 12MP rear camera, 256GB ROM, and a Snapdragon 820/Exynos 8890 processor.

Samsung Galaxy Note 6 price and availability

As we mentioned above, July seems to be the month in which Samsung Galaxy Note 6 launch will occur. Then, we just need to wait for 4 more months. About the Note 6 price, no words have been made, but we predict it can cost around $900 for such an excellent device. Do you agree?

Sony Xperia Z5 camera has been known as the best among all smartphones. However, things just changed now, since Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge was officially launched.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge camera: the new winner

DxOMark, the same Benchmark that did multiple test and ranked Sony Xperia Z5 camera as best in the world, has now given Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge that title. Although Samsung sensor for their camera is definitely famous for its high quality and awesome color display, the company is still working on and raising the bar higher with their latest flagship. It appears to be surprising for many of us when Samsung downgraded the camera resolution from 16MP to “only” 12MP yet won the best camera tittle.

Despite the downsized resolution, Galaxy S7 Edge camera gets a brighter f/1.7 lens, larger pixels and faster focus. These appealing features are all thanks to the company’s new Dual-Pixel sensor. This explained why DxOMark, the famous camera benchmark, after thorough tests, has just announce Galaxy S7 Edge as the new “smartphone champion”. The device scored an overall result of 88 points, which is 1 point higher than the previous record-keeper Xperia Z5 by Sony.

The Benchmark gave out very detailed and careful testing result on each and every feature of the camera, from exposure to autofocus, from contrast to stabilization, both on photo and video mode.  DxOMark even emphazied that, the Galaxy S7 edge offers excellent image quality for both indoor and outdoor shots. Isn’t this a great piece of news for any photo-geek ?

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge camera: best among all smartphone

With the test result from DxOMark, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge camera has officially became the new winner among all smartphone in the market nowadays. The beast, with only 12MP rear camera, has proven that resolution is important, yet not the only that matters. In order to have the best image quality, it is the camera sensor that makes the difference.

Though Samsung Galaxy smartphones are quite highly evaluated, they still have to try their best to compete with other brands. However, you would also agree with us that Samsung does own one thing that helps them stand out in the mobile world: edge devices. Since 2014 when the company first introduced their Galaxy Note edge, Samsung has been making handsets with curved displays.

No one can deny that the S7 edge is completely gorgeous in terms of design and specifications.
