Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge to arrive in the Philippines April 18

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.

Samsung starts rolling out Android 5.0 Lollipop to the Galaxy Note 3 in India

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.

The Samsung Galaxy S 6 Edge

Then we have the Samsung Galaxy S 6 Edge. Everything is the same with the Samsung Galaxy S 6 just that the Edge has a dual-edge smartphone, a world's first and also the Edge has a bigger battery compared to the S 6. The SGS 6 Edge will also be available this coming April of 2015. What I like about the SGS 6 Edge is the fact that we can now stop bashing Samsung about their bezels. Anyway, I really don't need to say anything else about the smartphone it is just stunning. This is just a supplementary post for the SGS 6, by the way. ;)

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 releases teaser video for The Next Galaxy

Samsung, via their @Samsungmobile twitter account, have tweeted a video teaser for the Samsung Galaxy S 6 which is scheduled to be announce at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain in March 1. The event will be another Samsung UNPACKED event and by that time we should have all met the SGS 6. Base on rumors and the teasers that Samsung have released so far, it seems like we are going to see a curved smartphone sporting Samsung's very own Curved Super AMOLED display. 

Samsung Galaxy UNPACKED 2015 - MWC 2015

Samsung have started sending out press invites for their Samsung Galaxy UNPACKED 2015 event which will be during the Mobile World Congress. For those who are excited to see the next generation Galaxy S device, mark your calendars on the 1st of March. The invite emphasizes of what seems to be the shape of the next Galaxy device from Samsung. The Galaxy S 6 could have a curved screen or whatnot which makes it more interesting to watch the event when they unveil the device to the public.

So far, the rumor mill have been churning out specs of the device which include a 5.1-5.3" screen, a Samsung Exynos processor instead of a Qualcomm SoC, might have a 4GB RAM, and a 20MP camera.

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 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 partners with Montblanc to offer a unique digital writing experience

Samsung and Montblanc have formed a partnership to offer Note 4 and Note Edge customers a unique accessory for those who are up for a bit of luxury when using their devices. Montblanc, a luxury manufacturer of writing instruments, watches, jewellery and leather goods, have 2 kinds of accessories for the Note line. First, the pens which both work as an alternative S Pen and a pen that actually writes with ink. It's an easy switch of refills (if you may) from the digital one to the ink-filled one.

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).

Samsung Gear VR - Mobile Virtual Reality

Earlier, during the Samsung UNPACKED 2014 Episode 2 event, Samsung unveiled 4 devices. The fist they unveiled is the Samsung Gear S, which we already know by now. The next is this one, the Samsung Gear VR. In partnership with Oculus, the Gear VR is Samsung's first virtual reality device. Now, I am not really an expert or whatever with virtual reality but since this is Samsung City, I am obliged to inform you. The device will be available via Samsung's online stores and select carriers within this year.

Swarovski brings their bling to the Samsung Gear S

Swarovski have extended its partnership with Samsung, yet again, with another addition to their Swarovski for Samsung collection. This time, it's a strap for the new Samsung Gear S. Swarovski brings the "bling" to the Gear S and apparently will make owners of the Gear S have the option to actually wear the smartwatch in formal events or where "bling" is appreciated.

Samsung Unpacked Episode 2 - 2 days to go!

Samsung has been pumping up the hype for their September 3 event at IFA Berlin 2014. The Samsung Unpacked Episode 2 is the event when the next generation Galaxy Note device is to be unveiled. This is not a secret anymore. There has been tons of rumors and leaks about the device. So, the last thing we need to do now is tune in during the global event that Samsung will try to pull off in September 3, that is 2 days from now. Watch the teaser video from Samsung after the break.

Samsung Gear S

Here's another Smartwatch churned by the Korean-giant! The Samsung Gear S is brilliantly designed and is running on Samsung's Tizen OS just like the other Gear smartwatches (except the Gear Live). This is Samsung's first smartwatch that has it's own connectivity and by that I mean it has 3G connectivity which basically means this smartwatch can run on it's own. It can also be connected via WiFi which is amazing since this is a watch and not a phone. The Gear S also sports a 2" curved Super AMOLED display and a 300 mAh battery, on paper, that can run for up to 2 days. The Gear S will be available globally in phases starting October.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK

Samsung together with Barnes and Noble unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK. It's essentially an eReader with the unlimited features of Android in a tablet that is 7inches big. It probably has the same exact specs with that of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7 but unfortunately, I could be wrong since Samsung nor Barnes and Noble did not release the specsheet of the device. Anyway, for those who wants to check out this device head over to the device's product page in the Barnes and Noble website.

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.
