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 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 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 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.

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 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.

Samsung's first Tizen running smartphone, the Samsung Z

Back in June 2, 2014, Samsung has announced the first Tizen OS running smartphone and is dubbed as the Samsung Z. The device unfortunately (I think) got a silent launching. The device is running Tizen 2.2.1 and if you try to look at the device it resembles Samsung's Wave line of devices which ran the Bada platform. The one thing you will notice immediately on this device is that it is made with premium materials, or at least it looks like it. The rear panel of the device looks like it is made of leather but it could be just fauz leather just like the Note 3. Anyway, Samsung is expected to make the device available in Russia in the 3rd quarter of this year and will be launched on other regions thereafter.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 Android 4.4.2 KitKat update arrives in the Philippines

It first came into the world in France. So I kept waiting until, this morning, my phone downloaded the update. The Android 4.4.2 KitKat update to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 officially arrives in the Philippines. So, as you'd all expect, the update (photos below) will turn all your notification icons to just grey instead of them being colored (in previous officially updates). Anyway, as per my phone's performance it was a bit laggy at first like the first 10-20 minutes. I restart my phone and viola. It is opening my apps faster than ever. Get your dose of KitKat on your Note 2 now just tap through Settings > More > About Phone > Software Update. Cheers!

The Samsung Galaxy K Zoom

Samsung, in Singapore, has announced the apparent successor to the Samsung Galaxy S IV Zoom. This time, Samsung spun the said device off the Galaxy S line by creating a whole new line of smartphones. Dubbed as the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom, the camera-phone has amazingly slimmed down from its predecessor. Albeit it kind of follows the Galaxy S V's aesthetics with the rear panel an apparent take from the S5's, the Galaxy K is, personally, a great phone design-wise. From a 16MP sensor, the Galaxy K now sports a 20MP rear camera with that same zoom lens it always had.

Smart starts accepting registration of interest for the Galaxy S 5

So, both carriers in the Philippines will be offering the Samsung Galaxy S 5 which will arrive by the 11th of April, I'm sure (at least for Globe).

If you want to get the smartphone with Smart's LTE, then head over here and register now. For Globe users and fans, go here. For more info about the Galaxy S 5 click the link.

Globe starts accepting pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S 5!

Globe has started to accept pre-orders for Samsung's 2014 Flagship Android Smartphone, the Galaxy S 5. It looks like Globe will be, until Smart does something, the only carrier in the Philippines to be offering the smartphone. You can get the Galaxy S 5 for as low as Php 1699 with 2 years contract. For those who wants to pre-order one right now, head over here. Check out Globe's offerings for the smartphone. But always be vigilant before applying for a plan with carriers in the Philippines. I believe Globe will start giving out the smartphone by the 11th, like what Samsung has announced back at MWC 2014 in Spain. Anyway, Cheers!

Globe Telecom now accepts registration of interest for the Samsung Galaxy S V

Globe Telecom, in the Philippines, has opened up a Galaxy S V dedicated page on their website for you to sign up your interest for the coming of the smartphone. There are no details yet on what postpaid plans Globe will be offering the device but at least you ca pre-register now. The Galaxy S V will definitely arrive in the Philippines on April 11, 2014 as announced by Samsung during their Unpacked Episode 1 event in Barcelona, Spain. Pricing, without the plan, is still to be known, but I will be posting about it once Globe announces it or as soon as they provide further details. If you are interested in Samsung's 2014 Flagship Android smartphone, then head over here to pre-register with Globe.

Samsung has made a very neat infographic image of their Galaxy S line of devices. From the beginning up to the newest Samsung Galaxy S V which was announced just a few days ago. I am a Samsung fanatic, apparently, and wants to emphasize that the image above clearly shows how Samsung actually upgrades their Galaxy S. Unlike some other phonemakers in the market, they actually do incremental upgrades while Samsung here upgrades their devices as if there is no tomorrow.
