Samsung has officially unveiled its flagship Android Smartphone in the Philippines back in March 19, 2015. During that event unveiled the local pricing of the world's first dual-curved smartphone. Samsung Philippines will start selling both the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge starting April 18, 2015. That is just a week after Samsung will be launching the devices in 20 major markets.

The almost 2-year old device from Samsung, in India, have started getting the Android 5.0 Lollipop update. According to Sammobile, the South-Korean smartphone pushes the said update to the country hours after T-Mobile in the US have pushed theirs. So, for those who are in India you might want to check your devices if this update has arrived to you. The update is available via OTA and or via Samsung Kies.

Samsung outs promotional video of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge

Samsung has released their flagship Android smartphone's first promotional video. You can watch them after the break.

The Samsung Galaxy S 6

Samsung, earlier, in Barcelona at the Mobile World Congress 2015, unveiled their 2015 flagship Android smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy S6 is probably Samsung's first pure premium device. Made out of metal and of glass (rear panel) the SGS 6 is the epitome of design, craftsmanship, and beauty. This probably shows the evolution of Samsung and the years they have been in the industry. They finally were able to spit out something that I am pretty sure the market will love. No more plastic that is what Samsung wants us to realize. It may have taken them 6years to do that but at least they did.

Samsung Galaxy A7

For 2015, Samsung announced it's first smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy A7. It is one of the three from Samsung's Galaxy A line of devices which follows the Galaxy Alpha's design aesthetics, and probably the start of Samsung's new language in smartphone design. The Galaxy A7 (pictured above) is Samsung's thinnest smartphone to date. With a thickness of just 6.3mm it is a thin smartphone from top to bottom. The device was announced back in the second week of January and this is already a late post. But nonetheless, check the specs of the device after the break.

Samsung Galaxy A3 & A5

Galaxy A3

Samsung announced two smartphones that will take the route of where the Samsung Galaxy Alpha has taken off. The first device is the Samsung Galaxy A3, the smaller of the two. They, the A3 and the A5, both have the same design they only differ in their specification and their sizes. According to Samsung, these devices are optimized for Social Networking and both have ultra slim design. These devices are Samsung's thinnest smartphones to date. The A3 and the A5 are 6.9mm and 6.7mm thin, respectively. They come in a variety of colors and are available globally, I am sure of this. 

Samsung pushes Android 5.0 Lollipop to the Galaxy S5!

According to SamMobile, Samsung's Galaxy S 5 in Poland with the model number SM-G900F is now getting the Android 5.0 Lollipop update. This is the first Samsung device that will be getting and running on Google's latest Android version. About the update, SamMobile is saying that European countries other than Poland should also be set to receive the update after a day or two. Anyway, for those who basically own a Galaxy S 5, it does no harm to manually check if you have the update or not yet. Meanwhile, watch the vide made by SamMobile below where Android 5.0 Lollipop is running on a Galaxy S 5.

Globe and Smart start taking pre-orders of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4

In the Philippines, the two largest carriers have started taking pre-orders or interest for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. During the Samsung Unpacked 2014 Episode 2 event in Berlin (IFA 2014), Samsung said that they will be launching the phone in more than 100 countries in October and it seems like the Philippines is one of those. If you are in the Philippines and wants to be one of the first to get to own the Galaxy Note 4, Globe and Smart have started getting pre-orders of the device. 

Samsung releases a slew of ads poking fun at Apple

Samsung has released 6 ads that, I think, will be aired in the USA since they look like they are made by Samsung Mobile USA that went on making fun at Apple. The ads were released and uploaded on Samsung Mobile's YouTube channel a few days after Apple's unveiling of their phablet challenger, the iPhone 6 Plus. I really don't need to say anything else with these ads. Just watch them and have fun. My favorite is that ad right there in the photo. (video after the break)

Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab Active

This is, according to Samsung, their tablet offering specifically built for business. The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active a tablet that looks like more of an outdoor tablet rather than a business tablet. The design and how you actually perceive it delivers. The tablet has anti-shock covering, which explains all the metal and rubber frame and back cover. the tablet has a pen too but not the S Pen but a C Pen and it is made for the outdoors too (see photos after the break).

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge - Specifications & Features

This, I am pretty sure, was unheard of. Never got into the rumor mill! Nobody saw this device to be unveiled by dear old Sammy. I like surprises, but this is way more than a surprise. The world's first mobile device with a curved display? If not, then Samsung's first mobile device (that is not a smartwatch) with a curved Super AMOLED display. [Edit] The Galaxy Round, I believe, took the honor.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - Specifications & Features

The next generation Galaxy Note device has been announced in Berlin at Samsung's UNPACKED 2014 Episode 2 event. For those who watched the unveiling and presentation of the device, you might consider this device as a minor update from the Note 3. But I would say that the real upgrades from the Note 3 to the Note 4 are in the inside. Like the Note 4's S Pen which is touted by Samsung to be twice more sensitive than that of the Note 3's "making writing with the S Pen feel like the real thing." Improvements to the Multi-Window have also been taken into consideration in the never ending quest of Samsung's refining process of their flagship devices. The Galaxy Note 4 is also Samsung's first Note device to sport 1440p display or Quad HD or 2560x1440 native display resolution. Also the device has been packed with the things that the consumers have loved about the Galaxy S 5, like the fingerprint scanner and of course the heart-rate sensor (which also doubles as a camera shutter button on the Note 4).

The Galaxy Note 4's wallpaper?

Posted by SamMobile, this is probably the Galaxy Note 4's default wallpaper or probably the wallpaper it will be wearing when the device is unveiled come September 3. The photo or the wallpaper you see above has been resized (by me). It can actually tell us the screen resolution the Note 4 will be sporting by simply looking at the photo's detail. The photo was originally uploaded with a resolution of 2560x2560 if you give it a little bit of thinking, you know what the Note 4's display resolution is, immediately. Getting more excited as September 3 comes closer.

The Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Samsung have announced a mid-range smartphone that does not look like it is for the mid-range market... at all. Today, the South Korean giant announced to the world the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. What is the first thing you notice when you look at the photo of the phone? Yup, the design and most especially the use of materials that is unusual to be coming from Samsung. According to the company's press release the Alpha features a "new design approach with the Galaxy Alpha." The smartphone runs on the latest Android 4.4 KitKat with Samsung's TouchWiz UI and a 4.7 display powered by an Octa-core processor. It is a mid-range device (which basically means it will be priced a bit more affordable compared to the flagships) but the specs and the design totally makes it a worthy smartphone to be up there and should be selling like hotcakes, unless the market says otherwise. The Galaxy Alpha is set to be available by September.

Samsung announced the Galaxy Core 2, Star 2, Ace 4, and Young 2 Android 4.4 smartphones

Samsung Galaxy Core 2

Samsung have announced a slew of upgrades of their other line of devices below the Galaxy S line. These devices are the Galaxy Core 2, Galaxy Star 2, Galaxy Ace 4, and the Galaxy Young 2. All fall between the mid-range to the low-end market. All of these devices run on the latest Android 4.4 KitKat OS. Samsung did not mention anything about when and where these devices will be available. But anyway, the specs.

The Samsung Galaxy S 5 Mini

Samsung have announced the successor of the Galaxy S 4 Mini and the little brother of the Galaxy S 5. The Samsung Galaxy S 5 Mini, like it's big brother, is water and dust resistance getting the same IP rating of 67 like that of the SGS 5. It also carries the dimples on its rear panel like the S5. Like any other "Mini" branded smartphones and devices from Samsung this is a mid-range device. It has a Super AMOLED display albeit only at 720p. It runs on Android 4.4 KitKat and also has a fingerprint scanner and a heart rate sensor. The Galaxy S 5 Mini is expected to be available by early July.

The Samsung Gear Live

Samsung indirectly unveiled the Samsung Gear Live at Google I/O 2014 that just ended a few minutes ago. This will be Samsung's first and so far only Android Wear running smart watch. Technically, this awesome device (awesome because it runs Android Wear) will be a competitor to Samsung's other Gear line of devices that run on Tizen. Anyway, the Gear Live will be available to order starting June 25 via the Google Play Store.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) Android 4.4.2 KitKat update arrives in the Philippines

Samsung has finally rolled out the Android 4.4.2 update to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012). This is the tablet's first ever software update after it had 4.1 so it was a very long wait for those who owned one. Earlier today, I got a notification from my N8000 (with mobile connectivity) that an 800MB software update is ready for download. I was sure with that size of  download that it is gonna be the KitKat coming and it did not fail me. There are a lot of things going on with the new software once you have it installed. Aside from a new look and feel it will give your device, it gave the tablet the boost it did not have with 4.1. It feels faster and apps seems to launch faster with 4.4. Multi-window has now been changed from what we previously known from the Note 10.1 to the one that the Galaxy Note 3 has (check photos below). I am sure there are a lot more things with this update, I still need to discover them but for those who have the update already and are looking for the screenshot button? Samsung removed that. Taking a screenshot with the new software will require you either with the S Pen (the S Pen trick) or pressing and holding the Lock and Volume Down buttons. Check the update now and enjoy your even faster Note 10.1 (2012).

The world's first Broadband LTE-A smartphone with WQHD display - Samsung Galaxy S V Broadband LTE-A

Samsung has announced a beefed up Galaxy S 5 in South Korea and will only be sold in their home turf. The phone is dubbed as the Samsung Galaxy S 5 Broadband LTE-A, the world's first. It is only available in South Korea because probably, and I am inclined to believe so, the only country that has a commercially available Broadband LTE-A network, specifically SK Telecom which was also the world's first carrier to provide LTE-A service commercially available to the public. Anyway, the SGS 5 Broadband LTE-A is a next generation smartphone that theoretically gives users triple the speeds of current LTE services (in South Korea that would be around 225mbps). It is also the world's first smartphone to sport a WQHD (2156x1440) Super AMOLED display and now it comes standard with 3GB of RAM unlike it's twin, the SGS 5. The phone will be available in South Korea this summer.
