It’s been a very long time since we last saw a Samsung product running on Windows OS. According to the latest news, perhaps Samsung’s Windows Phone will come back this year under the name Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro…

Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro offering Windows 10 Mobile is a great idea?

Recently, SamMobile has posted a model considered as the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro with code name SM-9100. Furthermore, the handset is also said to be brought to India for experts to test and it will come out soon this year. Obviously, SM-9100 can totally be an advanced variant of Samsung Galaxy A9 (2016), whose code name is SM-9000. But, we feel a bit strange about the “Pro” because most Samsung enhanced devices usually go with “Plus”.

As a result, many people deduce that Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro will be running on Windows 10 Mobile of Microsoft, just like Samsung Galaxy TabPro S tablet also named with “Pro” and it is equipped with Windows OS. Though, the manufacturer has not confirmed anything yet. What we’ve known so far is that Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro specs will be likely to pack a big 6.0-inch Full HD screen (similar to the Samsung Galaxy A9 display) plus a Snapdragon 652 (4 x 1.8GHz + 4 x 1.2GHz) chip to be basic.

Other specifications may include 3GB of RAM and a battery capable of at least 4,000mAh. Apart from them, there’s no word made for the rest. Actually, we think if Samsung decides to retain almost all of the Samsung Galaxy A9 (2016) specs, OS can be the main difference and help enrich consumers’ choice.

Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro price and availability

Basing on what we know of Samsung Galaxy A series in general and Samsung Galaxy A9 (2016) in particular, the A9 Pro will probably also debut in China first with a price tag of about $500. And besides, there can be 2 version of the Pro: one with Android and the other with Windows. Yet, let’s wait a bit more for the firm’s officially announcement.

Antutu Benchmark, the famous testing platform, has announced the top 10 smartphones that are most frequently checked on their site, aka top 10 popular smartphones in the world, Q4 2015

10 most popular smartphones of Q4 2015: the result is … surprising

In our technology world, there are certain smartphone producers that always stand in the top choices among users, like Apple, Samsung etc. And the report from Antutu made sure to surprise some of us with the unexpected result of those most popular devices. Let’s see what people in the world had come to Antutu to check. With 5.79% and 4.68%, Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 rank at top 2 among the 10. Seems like Samsung smartphones is really a big thing in any market.

However, Asus Zenfone 2 – known as one of the best budget smartphones worldwide, only ranked 7th out of 10, which surprises quite a lot of people. The same happens with Huawei Mate 8 when only ranking 9th out of 10. Among the 10 devices listed in the list, you can also notice the absence of some big brands like Sony, Apple and Lenovo and the dominance of Chinese smartphones compared to others (8 Chinese in total)

Many people are mentioning that, because Antutu is a Chinese Benchmark, the result is somewhat affected more by Chinese users and those from the same areas. Yes, we are not denying this. In fact, any test result can be very relative. What we want to say here is that, for a famous Benchmark used by the majority of users, the recorded figures of top 10 popular smartphones could be very unpredictable.

10 most popular smartphones of Q4 2015: Samsung leading the top

With 2 smartphones winning the top places, Samsung definitely did a great job. The company has been, is and will be one of the most favorite smartphone producers for many of us. We are excited to see more. For the rest 8 devices, how many of you are using those? If you are, please share with us how much you love your choice

After Samsung Galaxy Note 5, the Korean company is working on the next flagship generation: Samsung Galaxy Note 6. The device promises to bring a whole new definition to our smartphone industry: phabtop, by having….

Samsung Galaxy Note 6: introducing the first Phabtop ever

Samsung Galaxy Note 6 will definitely be a flagship smartphone, that is nothing to argue. But the most interesting thing we want you to know is just about to be unveiled right here: it seems very likely that the handset will be a hybrid between a phablet and laptop, giving birth to a whole new definition: phabtop. So, what is a phabtop and what does Samsung Galaxy Note 6 have to come up with a whole new category for our smartphone industry? You will find out just now

According to Patently Mobile, Samsung, with a new patent, is going to turn Galaxy Note 6 into a laptop in the shape and size of a smartphone, when the device is put in a dock. Therefore, the smartphone will have a touchpad, keyboard and a specially processor. If you look at the picture, the smartphone can fit perfectly into a laptop, sync and power the device like a CPU. That being said, if nothing changes, Samsung has just “created” a whole new definition to our technology world – a smartphone which has a size of a tablet (smartphone + tablet = phablet) and work under the patent of a laptop (phablet + laptop = phabtop).

In order to make that possible, the Galaxy Note 6 will run over Windows OS when being installed to the dock, and work like an Android phone for normal use. What a crazy yet brilliant idea, don’t you think? For long, Samsung has always been one of the top choices among our market. If this Galaxy Note 6 turns out true as what we know for now, it will definitely make a new hit.

Samsung Galaxy Note 6: working as a laptop, looking like a smartphone.

Another source, the TechTimes has added in to confirm the rumors, by saying Samsung Galaxy Note 6 will probably feature 8GB RAM and 16 core processor. This is a huge combination of specs and would impress any user out there, even the most difficult ones.

Samsung is being the topic to talk about these days, since they launched their Galaxy A series and thanks to all the round-up of Galaxy S7 flagship. For right now, the company is revealing a new offer – the Samsung Galaxy J7, 2016 version

Samsung Galaxy J7 : battery flagship with a strong RAM

To kick off the year 2016, Samsung already launched to the market 2 mid-rangers: the Galaxy J2 and the Galaxy J5. Samsung Galaxy J7 is believed to be the next smartphone of this Galaxy J series by one of the most popular smartphone producers in the world – Samsung. Together with the rumor, some of Samsung Galaxy J7 specs are also unveiled so that users around the world can have an idea of what to expect for this device.

Specs-wise, the Galaxy J7 will have a 5.5 inch FHD display – which is the most popular smartphone screen right now. The phone will be powered by 3GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 650 SoC. From the kernel code, seems like the J7 will have a fingerprint sensor and  sport a huge 4,300 mAH battery. Maybe this is not bigger than any other battery beast, but considering Samsung smartphones usually come with small power capacity, a 4,300 mAH battery is pretty much appreciated.

Samsung Galaxy J7 cameras are also very nice for a mid-ranger, featuring 13MP on the back and 5MP on the front. Needless to say, all of these specs are yet to be finalized and can go under changes until its official launch date. Let’s see if the phone can turn out attractive to all of us and compete with other fellows released the same time.

Samsung Galaxy J7: Samsung’s expansion to the budget market

Although there is no word about the Galaxy J7 price yet, we guess it will belong to the mid-ranger category. With the movement to a bigger battery capacity, Samsung is trying to make their products even more varied to meet up different kinds of customer’s demands.

Samsung Galaxy S7 is around the corner. Moreover, a new interesting discovery of it has been told, promising to surprise you all. Check it out now!

Samsung Galaxy S7 will last much longer than the S6!

According to recent news, Samsung will also make Samsung Galaxy S7 battery non-removable like its predecessor Samsung Galaxy S6. To be honest, a lot of people, including us, have been not very happy with the company’s decision. But, when the following latest piece of information came out, we thought it would not be so bad. Eldar Murtazin, a well-known Russian blogger in the leaksphere, claimed that Galaxy S7 was able to play about 17 hours of video with full brightness.

At first, we were pretty shocked to know since basing on what Samsung Galaxy S6 can do (around 5 hours of screen-on time for regular usage), it was hard to believe. Yet, nothing is impossible, right?! In this case, its battery is taken into consideration. Nonetheless, despite sporting a larger cell compared to the S6, it still seems not enough for Galaxy S7 to reach such longevity. So, perhaps there will be special software optimization or new battery tech on board to help do that.

On the other hand, some think it can be the 2nd-gen 14nm FinFET process in the chip Samsung is going to equip their flagship with, which sounds more… realistic. But, maybe it’s too soon to conclude anything. Let’s look forward to the groundbreaking innovations the manufacturer will be introducing to us at Samsung Galaxy S7 launch.

Samsung Galaxy S7 release date has been fixed!

Not long ago, Samsung sent out media invitations and a brief trailer for their Unpacked Event, taking place at Mobile World Congress 2016 at 7 p.m. CET on February 21. The accompanying hashtag #TheNextGalaxy obviously hints at the duo Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge while the clip looks to be new Samsung Gear VR. Wow, so excited to wait for them.

Samsung gained much success last year thanks to great flagships such as Galaxy S6, S6 edge, Note 5 and S6 edge Plus, together with affordable series like Samsung Galaxy A and J. Moreover, they seem to still be working with them this year. Let’s check out what Samsung smartphones have been and should be launched in early 2016!

1. Samsung Galaxy J: J1 (2016), J5 (2016), and J7 (2016)

At the moment, only Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) got released officially while the others have just appeared as leaks. Though, they surely will be able to satisfy those who like budget handsets but strong enough to play games, watch movies, take photos, etc.

Firstly, let’s talk about Samsung Galaxy J1 specs. It packs a handy 4.5-inch Super AMOLED screen with 480 x 800 pixels resolution, a dual SIM, 8GB ROM (expandable up to 128GB), and 1GB RAM. Under the hood, there are an Exynos 3475 quad-core 1.3GHz chip, Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS, and a removable 2,050mAh battery powering the whole machine. As for camera, its main one is capable of 5 megapixels with autofocus plus LED flash while the front snapper is 2 megapixels. And you would find it pretty cool when knowing that Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) price is $117.

About Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) specs, what we’ve got so far is that it will boast a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED HD display, a Snapdragon 410 chip, 16GB ROM (expandable), 2GB RAM, a 13MP/5MP camera set, and Android 5.1 Lollipop OS. Meanwhile, Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) specs are said to contain a big 5.5-inch Super AMOLED Full HD display, a Snapdragon 615 processor, 16GB ROM (expandable), 3GB RAM, a 13MP/5MP cam package, and a 3,000mAh battery. It is easy to notice that Samsung Galaxy J7 is gonna be the best of the J series this year.

LG G5 VS Sony Xperia Z6 VS Samsung Galaxy S7 are 3 of the most talked-about 4GB RAM flagships of 2016 thus far. When put together in a comparison, each of the trio has their own outstanding features to shine out the crowd.

LG G5 VS Sony Xperia Z6 VS Samsung Galaxy S7: 4GB RAM beasts

Talking about their similarities, all of the 3 are products of the most famous smartphone producers in the entire world: LG, Sony and Samsung. Moreover, all of them are introduced in early 2016 and will soon have their initial debut during Q1 of the year. LG G5 VS Sony Xperia Z5 VS Samsung Galaxy S7 all offer a powerful 4GB of RAM, making them belong to the higher-end smartphone category.

Besides 4GB RAM, each of the 3 comes with different signature features, ones that help us recognize them from others, as well as make sure they will sell well after official release. LG G5 has a beautiful all-metal casing and a removable battery, which we surely miss. Meanwhile, Xperia Z6 will continue Xperia Z5’s tradition to carry a premium 23MP camera with highest quality of its own kind. Last but not least, Samsung-made Galaxy S7 is powered by famous Snapdragon 820 everyone is craving to experience.

If LG G5 is predicted to become one of the best designed smartphone of 2016, Xperia Z6 is said to keep title of best smartphone camera and Samsung Galaxy S7 still focuses on offering the best display experience for users. These special features, together with a prestigious brand name, are going to make LG G5 VS Sony Xperia Z6 VS Samsung Galaxy S7 the real bombs in our smartphone market this year

In 2016 we will see an explosion of 4GB RAM smartphones. We want to introduce you the 6 BEST 4GB RAM Smartphones to buy in february. Check them out to see which 4GB RAM Smartphone is the best to buy in February!

1. SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 EDGE PLUS Design

No doubt this is a special samsung smartphone of the Korean giant in terms of appearance and hardware. Specifically speaking, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ specs sport a strong Exynos 7420 chipset, 4GB of RAM, and 32/64GB of non-expandable internal storage. Besides, there are a decent 3,000mAh battery, Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS, and a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED Quad HD display on board to run the phone.

About the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Mobile photography capability, you may feel satisfied with its 16MP rear and 5MP front-facing camera. As always Samsung smartphones are highly capable and definitely in the TOP 3 of all smartphones for their quality and functions. Overall if you can afford the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge price, we think you will not be disappointed with this smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy J7 is going to be the next member of the company’s J series to get launched this year. It seems like Samsung will try their best to promote many J products in 2016…

Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 showed up on GFXBench with specific features

Last year, we saw many Samsung Galaxy J handsets go on sale and receive much positive feedback from consumers. It can be understood easily as they belong to mid-range smartphone category, coming with affordable prices and good-enough performances. Perhaps, that is why Samsung has decided to continue producing new J machines as well as remake what has been introduced in 2015. And Samsung Galaxy J7 is one of them.

After Samsung Galaxy J1 officially debuted in Dubai and Samsung Galaxy J5 specs appeared on GFXBench not long ago, we guess it is the Samsung Galaxy J7’s turn to show what it’s got. Lately, like the J5, J7 showed up on GFXBench benchmark listing with some key specifications, including a 5.5-inch Full HD screen, a Snapdragon 615 chip paired with Adreno 405 GPU, and 3GB of RAM plus 16GB of internal storage (expandable up to 128GB, according to other sources).

The whole device will be powered by Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS and maybe a 3,000mAh battery (though, it’s not been confirmed yet). As for camera, the main one is capable of 13 megapixels and the front-facing snapper is 5 megapixels. Well, there are still some Samsung Galaxy J7 specs untold for now, but hopefully more will come in the next days.

Samsung Galaxy J7 price and availability

Accordingly, the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) release date will be in February 2016, along with the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016), at the Samsung Forum held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Because of sporting some more advanced features such as 3GB RAM and display resolution compared to the 2015 version, Galaxy J7 (2016) price may range from $250 to $330. What do you think?

Samsung has just officially announced Galaxy A9 – the latest smartphone in their A series, in a current event in China. The smartphone sports a slim 7,4mm body and very decent battery capacity….

Samsung Galaxy A9 official release: first 6.0 inch phablet

We have known about the Galaxy A9 for a while now through different rumors and leaks. And recently, the release in China confirmed to us official Samsung Galaxy A9 specs. According to that, this is the very first Samsung smartphone to feature such huge display: 6 inch – promise to maximize user’s experience when using the phone. The Galaxy A9 display resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixel, ensuring the best image quality for your eye treat.

Though earlier rumors did hint that the Galaxy A9 will run on premium Snapdragon 620, the handset actually features a Snapdragon 652 chip set together with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. Samsung Galaxy A9 cameras sport a 13MP anti-vibration sensor on the back and a 8MP sensor on the front. However, the key selling Galaxy A9 feature is its battery – which is as big as 4000 mAH capacity coming together with QuickCharge.

On release date, Samsung Galaxy A9 is pre-installed with Android 5.1 and comes in 3 color options: rose gold, gold and white. (yes, no black). Samsung will start mass selling of their latest smartphone in January, first in Chinese market. Much curious as we are, we did not know any further about the Galaxy A9 price and plan for other markets yet.

Samsung Galaxy A9: reasonable price for favorable specs?

Together with a decent battery and nice camera shooters, Samsung also feature latest technology for this phablet, including fingerprint sensors, Samsung Pay, NFC, Wifi and Bluetooth. How much do you expect the Galaxy A9 price to be? Since some of our sources are suggesting that, Samsung plan to keep their product prices as reasonable as possible, we expect the Galaxy A9 price won’t go beyond USD 400 in international markets.

The wait is coming to an end for those who are looking forward to Samsung Galaxy S7 launch. Lately, China Mobile has leaked information related to the Samsung Galaxy S7 release date to be in…

Samsung Galaxy S7 release date has been revealed – You will see the beast soon…

After the flagship Samsung Galaxy S6 and its great variants were released this year, we are excited to look forward to the S6’s successor – Samsung Galaxy S7. Like many upcoming flagships, Samsung Galaxy S7 design and specifications make us feel curious and just want to hear from the company. And perhaps that day is coming closer as a according to China Mobile, Samsung Galaxy S7 is going to debut in February.

It was said that S7 would be seen at MWC 2016 and go on sale one month later, but Samsung did not confirm anything. Though, recently, China Mobile, which is a leading mobile operator with the largest network and subscriber base in the world, has claimed Samsung will announce their Galaxy S7 on 21 February, 2016 and start selling it from 18 March, 2016. Wow, then, just a few months to go!

So, we would like to recap a bit on the Samsung Galaxy S7 specs. It is likely to be powered by a Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890 chip, a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED 2K screen, and a 20MP rear with BRITECELL sensor camera basically. We will know more clearly about the handset’s hardware when February is getting nearer.

What price is it for a new, strong flagship as Samsung Galaxy S7?

Besides the date, the source also mention the Samsung Galaxy S7 price to be about $469. If so, we guess S7 can be one of the most affordable flagships of Samsung, but in fact, we also find it hard to believe, especially when it used to be rumored to sport up to 6GB RAM. As a result, $650 would sound more reasonable, right?!

Snapdragon 820 – the premium chip set by Qualcomm is about to launch in 2016 for higher-end flagships. However, rumors are saying that, Samsung is planning to keep it exclusive for their phones in the first 3 months.

Snapdragon 820 – to be exclusively for Samsung Galaxy S7 till April

The release of Snapdragon 820 has promised strong performance for future flagships. Earlier, we have heard that many smartphone producers had already signed up for their upcoming devices to get the new SoC. But as this arising source is suggesting, it seems like Samsung is going to have exclusivity for themselves, at least in the first 3 months of 2016. What does Samsung have in mind for now and which benefits will the Korean company gain with this advantage?

As you may already know, Samsung is getting ready to unveil their next generation of high-end smartphone – aka the successor of Galaxy S6 – the Samsung Galaxy S7. To prepare for this grand event, Samsung already launched their Exynos 8890 chip set for one version and will adopt the Snapdragon 820 for another version of the machine. By having the Snapdragon 820 kept exclusive for only them, Samsung will have the huge advantage of being the first to offer a new technology trend.

If this comes true, what will happen to other companies like Xiaomi and LG with their Xiaomi Mi5 and LG G5 flagships? Since rumors are saying Samsung will hole exclusivity for Snapdragon 820 till the beginning of April 2016. it seems like we won’t see Xiaomi Mi5 release and LG G5 release any time soon until Q2 2016.
