Samsung Galaxy S7

Samsung Galaxy S7 Release date, Price, Features, Specs and Images

Samsung is by far the most used mobile phone in the world. The authority of Samsung came when they introduced the Samsung Galaxy S Series. The Galaxy S series have been the consumers’ choice for they always meet the demands of the ever changing trends in technology. Statistics show that Galaxy S series have sold over 200 million units. This is after the Samsung S5 was released. So, the Galaxy S6 and S7 have not been included in the sales for they are yet to hit the market.

Update : Samsung just released Galaxy s6 on 1st March, 2015. Now we are expecting that company will reveal their upcoming and most desired flagship Smartphone s7 on February of 2016. Experts are already working on adding new features and we will regularly update you with all hot rumors about S7.

Of great interest here is the Samsung Galaxy S7. In here, we will look at all the rumors about its release dates, expected specs and features together with the price. As expected, there is no official news from Samsung electronics concerning the release of Galaxy S7. But that does not stop the people from knowing what is in the making from this giant mobile company.

What is the expected Release date for Samsung Galaxy S7?

Well, there is no official communication from Samsung Electronics that can confirm when the new Samsung S7 will be released. However, insider sources have already leaked the strategy of Samsung and we now have the expected dates. The new Samsung Galaxy S7 will probably be released in the first quarter of 2016. This is because, the company has to watch its competition and respond aggressively to any threats from its main competitor, which is Apple. It is understood that some of Apple’s unsatisfied customers are going for the Samsung phones and therefore, a clear strategy has to be in place for the company to maximize on profits. So, 2016 is the year to watch out for the biggest invention after the S6.

What are some of the Expected Specs for Galaxy S7?

This is the part that matters most to the eagerly waiting customers. There is so much expectation given the pace set by the S6. The manufacturer, Samsung Electronics, will also be watching keenly on what Apple will be releasing in the market before the first quarter of 2016. Our inside source, reveals that Apple are planning on releasing iPhone 7 which will outdo galaxy S6 and therefore Samsung company has no option but to widen their range of specs for the S7. Here below are some of the expected specs of S7.

4 GB RAM

Just think of your laptop and what it can hold in terms of capacity. Well, most of the laptops have a lesser RAM than what the S7 will be offering. 4 GB is not a joke. This has sparked excitement since there are many benefits of having a big space like this. So, all your office work can be done in this gadget. This is just the preliminary figure that has been given; we can still expect more if Apple will come with anything of this size by then. Therefore sit back and expect a minimum of 4 GB RAM!

64 bit Processor

It will be the first android smartphone to have the 64bit Exynos processor. For an improved speed, there will be a 3.5 GHz processing power. With this, expect the fastest speed that one can enjoy with a phone.

32/64 and 128 GB memory

The Galaxy S series are known to be philanthropic with internal memory unlike their competitors. The trend is bound to continue with the new Galaxy S7 expected to be holding up-to 128 GB of internal memory. Thing could change along the way given that S6 is also carrying the same capacity and S7 is an improved version of S6. It is believed that Samsung Electronics are spreading out the rumor of ‘big internal memory’ to fool Apple and other competitors but come the first quarter of 2016, there will be a great surprise.

Of course there are many other specs that the phone has but the above mentioned are some of the unique ones that no phone in the market has.

The Amazing Features of Samsung Galaxy S7

There are new and improved features in the to-be released S7. All the new features have been released to counter all the existing features from other competitors and the previous versions of the S Series. Here below are some of the new features to watch out for.

30 Megapixels camera

Who could ever have thought of a 30 megapixel camera for a phone? Well, it is no longer a dream for soon enough it shall come to reality when the Samsung Galaxy S7 will be released. Just to highlight a bit, the 30 megapixel will be at the rear of the sleek phone and also there shall be 10 MP for the camera at front. There will also be a newly introduced GigaPixel feature that will help you in shooting your image with more accuracy and clarity.

Super Amoled Display

There are some phones enjoying Amoled display but this one will have a super amoled display that is 4k, 5.5-inch.

Waterproof Technology

Water will be no longer a problem to this phone for it will be equipped with a waterproof technology that will guard it against water. Users will also be guarded against dust that may harm a mobile device. Therefore, the whole body will be dustproof.

5G Network Connection

While other mobile companies are still trying to get hold of their 4G networks, Samsung Galaxy S7 will have a 5G network connection that will boost your browsing experience. No more delays when downloading anything from the internet for the 5G technology is really fast. Also on network, there will be a super fast WIFI to enhance connectivity to the internet.

Infared Sensors

One of the most amazing features that people should wait to experience is the infared sensor that will be there. It is said that the sensors will be able to measure your body temperature and give an accurate and efficient measure. This is just so amazing that it should be released today!!

There will be many more silent features that Samsung will be adding to give you superb experience.

Android Circuit: New Galaxy S6 Model Leaked, Sony's Smartphone Error, Samsung Attacks Apple

Taking a look back at seven days of news across the Android world, this week’s Android Circuit includes the leak of two new Galaxy handsets, the Galaxy S6′s weak sales numbers, nine secrets of Android M, Samsung’s new adverts attacking Apple, Sony’s job cuts in R&D, the poor PR around the Xperia Z4, Google Map’s improvements to real-time transit data, and Nokia’s updated Z Launcher.
Android Circuit is here to remind you of a few of the many things that have happened around Android in the last week (and you can read the weekly Apple news digest here).
Samsung’s New Galaxy Handsets For The Summer
After the launch of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, the Galaxy S6 Active was discovered. To be honest it was more confirmation than surprise, as the pattern followed Samsung’s device playbook from the S4 and S5 days. So again, it’s not a surprise to realise that there are two more S6 branded handsets on the way from the south Korean company.

A pair of fascinating leaks have emerged this week claiming to reveal the existence of both a high-powered 4.6-inch Galaxy S6 and a 5.5-inch ‘Galaxy S6 Plus’, the latter of which has the same curved display as the Galaxy S6 Edge.
How credible are these? In my opinion, very.

It looks like there is one major deviation from Samsung’s standard playbook, and that is the S6 Mini comes with the same high-end specifications as the vanilla S6, compared to the path charted by last year’s slower and cheaper S5 Mini. The full details are here.
Galaxy S6 Sales Falling Short
The tech world is still waiting on Samsung to confirm sales numbers for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. With a plan to sell 70 million units during 2015, realistically the South Korean company will be looking for around twelve to fourteen million in the first month of sales. Recent data from Counterpoint Research suggests it is achieving just over half of that target:

It’s worth noting that Counterpoint’s research is based on estimates of sales to consumers, and not shipped handsets. That reduces the ‘ten million units‘ numbers around the Galaxy S6 family to around six million sold, with another four million left in the channel. Samsung has yet to comment on the ‘ten million S6 units sold’ stories. If the S6 and S6 Edge between them sold just six million handset in the three weeks of April, then the mobile devices division of Samsung is going to be an even bigger drag on the company compared to last year.

Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge

Nine Secrets of Android M
With the reveal of Android 6.0 (code letter ‘M’, confectionary branding to follow) developers, analysts, and the wider geekerati are getting to grips with the potential of the new operating system. Forbes’ Gordon Kelly is no exception and he has taken a look at Mountain View’s latest to find out nine great secret features:

Secret # 1 – Full App State Backup
Quite frankly I’m stunned Google left this out of its presentation because it’s huge. With Android M Google will now automatically backup all app preferences and settings within Google Drive.
This brings Android into line with iOS and means restore or upgrading a phone will be virtually painless: apps will not only be reinstalled, but fully setup. Better still apps don’t need to do anything to be compatible with this change, Full App State Backup is built into the core of Android M.

You can read the other eight here.
Time To Attack Apple?
Samsung is back on its favourite subject for a commercial about a Galaxy smartphone… throwing some curveballs towards Apple and the iPhone.

Both adverts have a pop at Apple’s iPhone 6 for lacking functionality. The playful cool-guy voice-over helpfully points out that the iPhone 6 doesn’t have wireless charging *burn*, wide-angle selfies *burn* or even a curved edge *burn*. Rounding off with one large burn: “when you do the math, it’s clear, 6 is greater than 6”. Finishing with the final sentence “the next big thing is here”.

As Jay McGregor points out, this follows the same style and attitude as the campaign that pushed the Galaxy S2 to greatness. It worked then as Samsung was the scrappy underdog fighting Apple… now it might not have the same impact.

Sony’s Managed Smartphone Decline
Sony’s mobile division has cut 975 staff from its Research and Development unit in Sweden. Sony noted earlier this year that the layoffs would be happening as part of a restructuring to reduce costs and hopefully bring the smartphone and mobile devices. Ingrid Lunden summarises the news at TechCrunch:

Sony Mobile is cutting 1,000 jobs in Sweden, one of the company’s key manufacturing and R&D centers, as part of a larger restructuring to push the struggling handset maker into profitability… In all, 575 staff and a further 400 contract positions will be eliminated across all divisions, covering both administrative positions and technical staff. The reduction will cut the total number of people working at Sony Mobile’s operations out of Lund, Sweden by nearly half, with 1,200 people remaining.

I’m not sure how reducing staff and selling fewer devices will help Sony. With the news that the Xperia Z4 in Japan is being rebranded the Xperia Z3 Plus in Europe, this feels like another step along a managed decline, rather than a radical idea to revitalise the team behind some of the smartest smartphone designs on the market.
Xperia Z2, Xperia Z3, Xperia Z4, Xperia Z3 Plus
Staying with Sony, the issue with the Xperia Z4 flagship being renamed the Xperia Z3 Plus for its European release continues to amaze industry watchers. Tommi Ahonen has written about the decision that could destroy Sony’s chances of an Android smartphone recover with a typically furious and forensic post:

The phone is the same! What the world was shown as the Xperia Z4 is now to the rest of the world only the Z3 Plus. All the marketing was done to convince the world to want the Z4. Now we only are given a Z3 Plus instead. What is wrong with Sony? Do they want their sales to fail? This was their Razr Moment.
Some who own a Z3 have been waiting eagerly to buy a Z4. Some Samsung owners who were disappointed with the Galaxy S6 were told that wait a few weeks, the brand new Sony Xperia Z4 is coming. Now they will be offered a Z3plus instead. Nobody with a Z3 will bother to buy the ‘modest upgrade’ Z3plus and will rather wait for – yes – the ‘real’ Z4…

Take The Next Bus After The Bus You Are On Just Now
Looking to maintain its advantage with mobile mapping (ahead of a potential update to Apple Maps at the upcoming WWDC), Google has improved the data available to the public transport route planner. Jordan Kahn notes down the details at 9to5Google:

Google announced today that it’s improving transit data in Maps with real-time updates showing a summary of your journey that’s easily accessible. It also announced that it’s adding 25+ new partners to the 100+ it works with to gather real-time transit data. The new additions bring more transit data to customers in the U.K., Netherlands, Budapest, Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle.

And Finally…
Nokia might not have an Android smartphone on the current market (just the Foxconn-manufactured N1 tablet) but it continues to improve the Android launcher used in the N1 which is also available for download by Android users around the world. The latest update adds in one of the most requested features… support for widgets. From the blog post:

We’ve worked hard to add widgets in a manner consistent with the principles of Z Launcher: simple, elegant, and easy to use….
Since we have only one page for widgets, we wanted to maximize the space available and therefore we don’t show the bottom row of pinned apps on the widgets screen. We also decided to limit this page to hosting just widgets — not a hodgepodge of widgets and pinned apps – that way you’ll be sure to fit those most important widgets. We believe this keeps it clean and simple — widgets on one page, apps on another.

Samsung Galaxy S6 vs S6 Edge: What's different?

Samsung Galaxy S6 vs S6 Edge: Which one should you buy?
Samsung surprised no one when it announced two versions of the Samsung Galaxy S6, the standard 'plain' version and the S6 Edge. We've reviewed them both now and they're probably the best phones we've had our hands on so far this year. That's better than the One M9, the LG G4 and even the iPhone 6. Although that's technically a phone from last year.
But what is the difference between the two and which one should you buy? Bottom line, it's easier to talk about how they're the same as the differences are slight, but they are there. The Galaxy S6 flagships are the most advanced and powerful phones on the market but the choice comes down to whether or not you love the innovative curved edges and can afford the premium.

Samsung Galaxy S6 vs S6 Edge: What's different?

by Jon Devo 13 May 2015 | Go to comments

Samsung Galaxy S6 vs S6 Edge: They share the same basic features

Let's start with how they're the same first. Both feature a 5.1-inch Quad HD display – that's 1,440 x 2,560, up from 1,080 x 1,920 on the Galaxy S5. Next is the Samsung Exynos 7420 processor, an octo-core processor with four cores clocked at 2.1GHz and another four at 1.5GHz. They have the same cameras – 16-megapixel with optical image stabilisation on the back, 5-megapixel on the front – and every other core spec is the same.
In other words, if you're worried that you're making serious compromises to get the curved screen, worry not. You're not losing out anything really serious here. But what do you gain from getting the S6 Edge?

Samsung Galaxy S6 vs S6 Edge: The S6 Edge has bigger battery

One of the key changes for the S6 is this is the first flagship Samsung phone that has a non-removable battery. This battery will last 12 hours of continuous web browsing on Wi-Fi according to Samsung, but its biggest trick is the fast charging. Ten-minutes of charging equates to about three to four hours of use and it can charge from 1% to full in about an hour and 20 minutes - faster than any other rival phone.
But because the SIM-tray on the Galaxy S6 Edge had to be placed at the top of the phone, Samsung managed to squeeze in a slightly larger capacity battery than the Galaxy S6 – 2,600mAh vs 2,550mAh. It shouldn’t make a huge difference, though, as it's only 2% bigger. But in use, there did seem to be some slight disparity in battery performance. Approaching the end of a working day, the S6 Edge seemed to have about 10-20% more battery left.
3D gaming hits both devices pretty hard and will drop the battery by about 40% in three hours, but that will be closer to a 45% drop off if you’re using the non-Edge S6.

They both feature wireless charging, too, but we found that wireless charging was better as a battery maintenance feature rather than replenishing your phone’s power. Three hours of wireless charging only gets the battery up to 70% so we’d recommend sticking with the fast charger for general charging needs.
There isn’t a huge amount of difference in battery performance of these two phones, but the S6 Edge does have a fractionally larger battery and does appear to last a little longer than the standard S6.

Samsung Galaxy S6 vs S6 Edge: The S6 Edge is lighter but thicker

Again, we're talking tiny margins, but the S6 Edge is marginally lighter and thicker than the S6. The S6 Edge weighs 132g and is 7mm thick; the S6 is 138g 6.8mm thick – so that's 6 grams lighter and 0.2mm thicker.
Both phones are sporting Corning Gorilla Glass on the front and back and have metal rims. The S6 Edge is of course the most immediately eye-catching and will garner admiring glances and comments pretty much anywhere you go. Both phones also have protruding cameras, which is slightly less apparent on the Edge. The camera units only stick out by a couple of millimeters, so it isn’t a big issue.
The S6 on the other hand could be written off as an iPhone look-alike, but on closer inspection it’s much more attractive; even without the curved Edges.
The standard Galaxy S6 is more comfortable to hold because it’s contoured metal edges sit nicely in the palm of your hand. In contrast, the S6 Edge only offers thin metal to grip and the curve goes in the wrong direction for it it to be ergonomically satisfying.

Samsung Galaxy S6 61

You may expect that the curved screen would make it easier to use one handed, but having used both phones, that doesn’t seem to be the case. While it may be easier to get your thumb across the side you’re holding it on, only basketball players and freaks have thumbs long enough to reach the other side that curves downwards and away from you.
Another issue we had with the Edge variant was that it is too easy to touch the edges of the screen by accident whilst holding the phone, which renders intentional touches unregistered. It’s a niggle that may become quite frustrating over time as there is no way to 100% avoid accidently touching the screen when using the phone.
Views differ across the TR team, some love the look and feel of the curved S6 variant, but from a purely aesthetic point of view it's a winner. It looks cool.

Samsung Galaxy S6 vs S6 Edge: Call quality

The difference in design shouldn’t have too great an impact on signal strength or performance, but we definitely had differing experiences when it came to testing these two phones. Using the standard S6, we found signal strength to be consistently strong, even underground when using EE Wireless Calling. But our experience with the S6 Edge was a little less satisfying with a few calls being dropped unexpectedly.
It wasn’t a massive number of failures, but it was enough to raise some concern. It seemed that signal strength wasn’t the issue either as it appeared to be fine. It’s a slight mystery that may be unique to our review units, but it’s worth noting.

Samsung Galaxy S6 vs S6 Edge: Extra Software Features

Beyond its good looks, the curves of the S6 Edge provide some additional functionality, none of them are killer features but they do make the phone feel just that little bit more futuristic.
A few examples, however, are how the edge displays the time (see above) even when the phone is asleep – it's very similar to the 'glance' feature seen on some Lumia smartphones.
Notifications and messages can be accessed from the edge using the new ‘People Edge’ mode. You can designate up to five contacts from your list to appear as one of five coloured lines on the edge of the home screen. Swiping across the screen from one of those lines brings up call/message history from those people, making it quick and easy to communicate with frequently used contacts. A white line at the top allows you to access your Edge Contacts at any time, saving you from having to find them in your contact list.
One of the smaller, but more intriguing, features is how you can set the edge to function as a notification light when the phone is faced down. It can also combine with the People Edge mode and be set to glow a specific colour when a particular person calls. This means you can work out who is calling when the phone is face down. If nothing else, it looks cool.

Samsung Galaxy S6 59

Information Stream from the Galaxy Note Edge is also on the Galaxy S6 Edge and it allows you to check custom information feeds on the edge of the phone. You can also use it to display location specific weather information as well as the time/date and battery status.
The edge can also double as a bedside clock with Night Clock mode. When the phone is in sleep mode, a quick swipe up and down will illuminate the edge. The night clock can only remain active for a maximum of 12 hours, but it will disable automatically if the phone’s battery hits 15%.
Are these additional features worth the extra money? If the price difference between both SIM-free 64GB versions were closer to £40, rather than £100, perhaps we’d be inclined to agree. But if you go for the S6 Edge you’re paying £100 for curved glass, a tiny bedside night clock, a contact/notification app and a glowing notification light when your phone is faced down.
On the other hand, if you’re getting a £660 phone, why not get a £760 one? The price difference on contracts is variable but there’s definitely less of a gap in upfront cost.

S6 vs S6 Edge 5

Both phones are currently shipping in 64GB capacity SIM-free, with the non-Edge Galaxy S6 also available in 32GB. 128GB models for both have been promised but aren’t available yet.
Neither has a built-in microSD card slot. Each is available in White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, but each also has an exclusive colour – Blue Topaz for the S6 and Green Emerald for the S6 Edge.
SIM-free, the Galaxy S6 (32GB) starts at £599.99 and the S6 Edge (64GB) can be purchased from £760. The S6 Edge is naturally more expensive and will be produced in more limited quantities because the curved screen is harder to manufacture.
Contract offers, at least during this launch period, seem to contain a lot of little sweeteners including free gifts and access to mobile TV services. Our advice would be to shop around and use some charm if you’re upgrading but a couple of examples of how much the deals can vary.

Vodaphone is offering the standard S6 for £48.50 per month on a two year deal on its Red 4 L plan which gives unlimited minutes/texts, 7GB data and free Spotify premium access, Sky Sports Mobile TV or a Now TV Entertainment Pass. The S6 Edge on the same deal will cost £53.50.
While EE make the choice slightly tougher for the cheapest options on both phones, offering more data with the S6 Edge, 10GB to be precise compared to just 4GB with the standard S6. You’ll have to pay £49.99 upfront and agree to a two year contract, either paying £43.49 (S6) or £53.49 (S6 Edge) per month.
As we noted above, the main appeal is simply the novelty factor and style that the edge display provides. It truly stands out in a crowd of phones that are becoming increasingly difficult to tell apart. How much you're willing to pay for that difference, however, is entirely down to you.

Iphone 6 vs Iphone 6 plus

Do you iPhone 6 or 6 Plus? We help you decide which of the Apple smartphones is the best fit for you
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have been on sale for a while now and we've been living with them both to figure out which is best. They might look identical but both have their own strengths and weaknesses and vary wildly as user experiences.
Size is the clearest difference. The iPhone 6 might be the bigger than any iPhone before it but it is a minnow when compared to the giant iPhone 6 Plus. The bigger a phone is the more expensive it is too, and the 6 Plus comes with a price tag that matches it's hefty dimensions. Both will play nice with the Apple Watch of course.

SEE ALSO: iPhone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy S6
Whether you like small phones or large there's more to consider than just size.
Battery life, screen, camera and design are key factors for a good phone. The iPhone 6 Plus wins out in a few of these areas compared to its little brother. Does this make it worth the extra cost? We think so.

iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Design

iPhone 6: Curved aluminium, gold or light/dark silver, 6.8mm thick, 129g
iPhone 6 Plus: Curved aluminium, gold or light/dark silver 7.1mm thick, 172g
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus look identical. Their dimensions are different though. The iPhone 6 Plus is 2cm taller, 1cm wider and 2mm thicker though. Doesn't sound like much does it? When it comes to phones, though, it makes a huge difference

image: http://static.trustedreviews.com/94/00002e46b/e38a_orh616w616/iPhone-6-6Plus-5S-640.jpg

There's no point skirting around the issue – there are times when using the iPhone 6 Plus one handed is problematic. It's not as bad as you might expect, our average sized hands cope most of the time, unlike with the Nexus 6. The biggest problem with the iPhone 6 Plus is reaching the far edges of the keyboard with one hand. Trying to hit the shift key or the number toggle can turn into a quick game of hand twister.
It takes about a week to get used to the iPhone 6 Plus's size. The more you use it the easier it is to handle. Still as a phone for a stand-up commuter the iPhone 6 is a better fit. It’s slim and narrow enough to use with as much ease as the 4-inch iPhone 5S.
As you'd expect from Apple products both phones are beautifully designed and well-made. Toughened glass covers the display. This curves as it reaches the edges and then blends almost seamlessly into the aluminium chassis. The body feels cool and is grippy enough to keep a handle on. Even though it’s the exact same design, it works better on the smaller iPhone 6. You feel more in control when using it.

Without a case the iPhone 6 Plus feels like a liability. A case increases the dimensions even more but also makes the phones a lot more manageable thanks to the added grip.
Both phones are well crafted, but the smaller size of the iPhone 6 means it’s more ergonomic. It wins the design round.
Winner: iPhone 6

iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Screen

iPhone 6: 4.7-inch 1334 x 750, “Retina HD” LCD
iPhone 6 Plus: 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 LCD, optimisation in landscape
The bigger phone, surprise surprise, comes with a bigger screen. This brings a host of benefits in use with surfing the web, playing games and watching movies the pick of the bunch. You'll happily whittle away the hours on a long haul flight watching your favourite shows or films.
It's not just size, there's a difference when it comes to the resolution. The iPhone 6 Plus is full-HD and offers a 401PPI while the iPhone 6 is 1334 x 750 pixels, which amounts to 326PPI. The PPI refers to the pixels per inch, so the higher the number the sharper a display will be. The 6 Plus does have a sharper display but you won’t notice it too much unless you bring the phone up to your nose.

Both these displays are fine even though they don't have the infinite contrast ratios AMOLED screens do. The main difference to consider is that extra screen real estate. The 6 Plus has a few optimisations to take advantage of its screen. it switches to landscape mode – just like the iPad Mini 2.
Winner: iPhone 6 Plus

iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Camera

iPhone 6: 8MP camera, 1/3.06-inch sensor, true-tone flash,f/2.2 aperture dual-LED flash, phase detection
iPhone 6 Plus: 8MP camera, 1/3.06-inch sensor, true-tone flash,f/2.2 aperture dual-LED flash, phase detection, OIS
Both phones come with identical front facing cameras that do a good enough job taking selfies and video calling, particularly in lower light. They're not perfect though. Phones like the HTC Desire EYE pander to the selfie generation, these iPhones barely acknowledge it.
The rear cameras are similar too. Both use 8 megapixel sensors with 1.5 micron sensor pixels, dual tone flash and include phase detection, which help the iPhones focus with speed.
The major difference here is that the iPhone 6 Plus comes with optical image stabilisation (OIS). This helps you take better photos by eliminating the blur caused by the small hand movements you make when taking a picture.

iPhone 6 versus

Here's an example of how the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus cameras compare
In well-lit conditions you won’t notice much difference because the camera can shoot fast enough to minimise the effects of small shudders. When the lights go down the OIS on the 6 Plus shows its worth. Photos are sharper and colours more vivid when it’s dingy, and this applies to video as well.

In low-light the OIS on the iPhone 6 Plus helps
Both phones have great point and shoot cameras, but the OIS makes the iPhone 6 Plus the better camera phone.
Winner: iPhone 6 Plus

iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Software

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus: iOS 8
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus run iOS 8 and the experiences are almost identical barring the landscape mode we spoke of earlier. Even though the screen is bigger you get the same amount of apps viewable on your home screen – 20 in total.
iOS 7’s radical design makeover remains the same on iOS 8 but Apple has delivered some new features that make it a better operating system. A mixture of Android-esque features and some new additions help lay the foundations for a greater push into health and home automation over the coming months.
You can now add third party keyboards, use widgets, access apps from the new notification centre and have the ability to work across Mac and iOS devices in more intuitive way. Apple’s own keyboard has also had a bit of a makeover with predictive words now making an appearance.
The iPhone 6 Plus’s larger display also means that you get a few more keyboard shortcuts in landscape mode. These won’t rock your world.
Winner: iPhone 6 Plus (just)

iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Performance

iPhone 6: Apple A8 64-bit and M8 co-processor
iPhone 6 Plus: Apple A8 64-bit and M8 co-processor
Apple’s new A8 is in both phones and it’s a great processor. It uses a 64-bit dual-core 1.4GHz CPU with a PowerVR GX6450 quad-core graphics chip supported by 1GB RAM.
In our benchmark tests both phones perform extremely well and beat much of the competition in graphics intensive tasks. That’s good news if you like gaming on your phone.
An M8 co-processor also makes an appearance. This looks after all the sensors on the phone and manages the data in a much more energy efficient manner, which means better battery life.
Winner: Draw

iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Storage

iPhone 6: 16GB (£539/$649), 64GB (£619/$749), 128GB (£699/$849), no micro SD card support
iPhone 6 Plus: 16GB (£619/$749), 64GB (£699/$849), 128GB (£789/$949), no micro SD card support
Neither of the new Apple phones offers expandable memory. However, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus do raise the storage ceiling, from 64GB to 128GB.
This year, you get to pick between 16GB models (for the scrimpers), 64GB ones and – for the flush – 128GB phones. There's no 32GB this year and Apple won't tell us why. We did ask.
An iPhone 6 Plus with 128GB of internal storage is dream for watching movies on, offering enough memory for a hundred or uncompressed SD-quality films or 25-plus HD ones. It's going to cost a whole lot of money to own it if you buy the iPhone outright though.
Winner: Draw

iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Battery Life

iPhone 6: 1,810 mAh battery, 11 hours video, 11 hours browsing
iPhone 6 Plus: 2,915 mAh battery, 14 hours video, 12 hours browsing
If you think the larger iPhone comes with a larger battery then give yourself a pat on the back because you are absolutely right. The iPhone 6 Plus has a 2915mAh battery compared to the 1810mAh one on the iPhone 6. It means that the iPhone 6 Plus blows its little brother out of the water when it comes to stamina.
If you are a normal user you will be able to make the 6 Plus last two full days, which puts it up there with flagship Android phones like the Xperia Z3, One M8 and the Samsung Galaxy S5. It just keeps going and going. The iPhone 6 isn’t bad by any means, it just doesn’t come close to matching the Plus. You’ll easily get a day of use out of it but it’s a phone that you will likely want to charge daily.
In our like for like tests running standard definition video until both phones run out entirely the iPhone 6 Plus lasts for 12 hours while the iPhone 6 for 10 hours.
However, the smaller size of the iPhone 6 means that you can plonk it into a charge case without it becoming too cumbersome. It’s not the most elegant solution, though.
Winner: iPhone 6 Plus by a mile

iPhone 6 Plus vs iPhone 6: Price

iPhone 6: 16GB (£539), 64GB (£619), 128GB (£699), no micro SD card support
iPhone 6 Plus: 16GB (£619), 64GB (£699), 128GB (£789), no micro SD card support
These are Apple phones so they were never going to be cheap but the iPhone 6 Plus is more expensive weighing in at a whopping £789/$949 for the top specification 128GB version. By comparison the same spec iPhone 6 costs £699/$849.
If you do decide to buy one of these phones we’d recommend going for the 64GB one unless you like to store lots of media or tinker with video editing on your phone.
The 16GB versions only have 11GB of usable memory. That's not much at all and the lack of a microSD card means you can't add storage later. If that's important it's well worth considering the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Sony Xperia Z3 or HTC One M8.

Winner: iPhone 6

iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus: Verdict

Big or small? Apple has taken real pains to make sure the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus offer a consistent experience. Similar screen tech, the same processor and similar-grade cameras make sure there’s no weak link here.
However, we do like that the extra display space of the iPhone 6 Plus and its greater battery life makes it more of a power user device.
We'd opt for the iPhone 6 Plus over the smaller iPhone. If you've got the deep pockets for it, both figuratively and literally, then it is the iPhone to get.

Galaxy Note 5 July Release Date Rumors Rejected By Samsung

With fans of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930) eagerly awaiting the release of the Galaxy Note 5, the Korean Corporation has moved to deny rumors related to its release date. In the last couple of days, murmurings have been circulating around media worldwide that Samsung is about to move the release schedule of its highly anticipated phablet forward significantly. The date suggested by many of these rumors was June off this year, which would certainly conflict with the date that previous Galaxy Note releases have occupied.

Samsung President denies Galaxy Note 5 rumors

However, this particular rumor appears to be a red herring, as one of the most important alumni of Samsung has indicated that the June date is fraudulent. Samsung President, Shin Jong-kyun, spoke with reporters in his native Korea today, and flatly denied the suggestion that the Galaxy Note 5 could launch in July.
Although Jong-kyun did not specifically confirm the release date of the Galaxy Note 5, it is thought that this phablet is now likely to follow the release date of previous iterations of the series. It is usual for Samsung to unveil its latest Galaxy Note device shortly before the opening of the IFA conference in Berlin, which takes place in September every year.
On this occasion, it was suggested that Samsung may consider shifting the date forward, as early prototypes of this important handset had been finished earlier than anticipated by the corporation. This would have made commercial sense for Samsung, as it would have provided them with significant leeway before the release of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s iPhone range, which usually hits the stores in October. It is anticipated that Apple will release a new iPhone device this October, although it is not yet known whether this will be branded iPhone’s 6s or iPhone 7.
But despite the rumors of Samsung having already showcased a prototype of the Galaxy Note 5, Shin Jong-kyun has completely squashed this notion. It now seems unthinkable that Samsung will release the Galaxy Note 5 at any other time than around the date of the IFA, as there simply isn’t much time between the rumored June launch and the September date of the IFA conference. Finding an alternative and feasible date and event to incorporate this release would seem to be logistically impossible, particularly at such short notice, so Samsung will probably stick to the release schedule of the Galaxy Note 4 now.

Galaxy Note 5 – Samsung denies poor sales

Another interesting aspect of the press conference which was attended by Jong-kyun was a journalist raising the issue of lower than expected sales for the Galaxy S6. According to reports emanating from Korea, it was suggested that out of the 300,000 Galaxy S6 pre-orders which were taken by Samsung, only 200,000 units were ultimately sold. This would obviously be disappointing for the Korean corporation which is already lagging significantly behind Apple, but it is also important to note that accurate sales figures are still yet to be released.
The Samsung supremo certainly did not agree with these reports, and dismissed the content of them as entirely false. Jong-kyun reiterated his belief, and that of the corporation, that the Galaxy S6 will be an extremely strong seller for the company throughout 2015. Obviously Samsung will also have similar hopes for the Galaxy Note 5, with the Galaxy Note 4 having been an extremely well received device critically for the corporation in 2014.
Samsung has yet to confirm too many details about the Galaxy Note 5, but one of the most highly anticipated aspects of the phablet will be its curved screen model. Fans of the Android-driven handset know that the Galaxy Note Edge debuted last year, and was the first curved screen mobile to be produced by Samsung.
The Galaxy Note Edge was in many ways one of the worst kept secrets in consumer electronics, as the device was rumored for months and indeed years before its release. This didn’t require some sort of Nostradamus-esque soothsaying; Samsung had long since become associated with its range of curved televisions, and migrating this design into its mobile range seemed an entirely natural step.

Galaxy Note 5 Edge emphasis

It is expected that when the Galaxy Note 5 releases then that Samsung will place a much greater emphasis on the curved model of the Galaxy Note 5 than even in its previous handsets. Both the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy S6 featured a curved screen variant, but it is notable that the Galaxy S6 Edge featured a dual-curved screen which was a further step forward for the concept in mobile devices.
The Galaxy Note 5 Edge is strongly expected to follow suit when it is released later this year, and reports emerging from Korea even suggest that it will become a more significant part of the Samsung brand. Early leaks regarding next year’s Galaxy S7 suggest that Samsung will place a much greater emphasis on curved screen technology with this release, and look to greatly increase the number of Galaxy S7 Edge units available. It is therefore expected that the Galaxy Note 5 Edge will be a testing ground for this process, and Samsung will produce a significantly larger proportion of this model than in the previous iteration of the series.

Galaxy Note 5 – 4K resolution

Another major aspect of the Galaxy Note 5 which will be of particular interest to Samsung fans is whether or not Samsung will arm the device with 4K resolution. The 4K standard will become increasingly important in consumer electronics and entertainment in the coming years, and Samsung has already implemented this quite widely in its range of television sets.
Although it is a natural move for Samsung to include 4K resolution in the Galaxy Note 5 series, it is possible that logistical considerations will rule this out. Under these circumstances, Samsung would then have a decision to make about what resolution the device should encompass, after last year’s Galaxy Note 4 release impressed consumers and critics alike with quad HD resolution.

Samsung Galaxy S7 release date, specs news: Foldable smartphone coming?

All the attention right now is on the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6
Edge and it would only be a matter of time before people start asking about its successor. Well leave all that to the rumor mill which should start racking up speculations on the next Samsung Galaxy device – the Galaxy S7.

Rumors have started to float as we speak and the early tips we are getting right now is that this next device to join the Samsung Galaxy Series will be a foldable smartphone.
Aside from that, word has it that the Samsun
g Galaxy S7 will boast of a cyclone HMP technology chipset with 6GB of RAM. This could mean that the supposed S7 will be twice as fast as the S6 that should complement the rumored 4K resolution foldable display.

Additional rumored specs include a 20MP main camera with a low light sensor. This makes the camera useful even in darkest areas which should be a big improvement from the Galaxy S6 which carries a 16MP main shooter.
It is believed that the Galaxy S7 will also have a Touch ID system, Retina Scanning and the patented wireless charging technology which many may have already come across with the Samsung Galaxy S6.
If all goes well, the Samsung Galaxy S7 could be revealed as early as December of this year. The rumored release date may seem a bit quick considering all the hype that the S6 and S6 Edge are currently getting right now but then again, Samsung has been known to come out with devices that frequent.
