Samsung has a plethora of phones and tablets in its lineup, and regularly releases firmware updates for various devices. These can include major updates, which bring a newer version of the OS to a particular device, or minor ones that improve performance and stability and fix bugs. Software updates for Samsung devices roll out in various regions every day, and you can find out which firmware updates were pushed out by the company over the weekend through our firmware list.

Galaxy S6 official accessories include covers, external battery pack and new colors for Level On headphones

Now that Samsung has unveiled its two new smartphones we can keep counting down the days until they will finally be available for purchase, mark April 10th on your calendars, if you haven’t already. Samsung will also offer official accessories for the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge, even though there are a plethora of companies out there creating accessories for these smartphones, these include an external battery pack that’s shaped like the S6, two new kinds of covers as well as two color options for the Level On headphones.
One of the covers has a clear back which lets you see through to the actual color of the device itself. The other doesn’t have a clear back so it would be best to choose a color that goes with that of your Galaxy S6. Samsung will also offer an external battery pack that’s shaped like the Galaxy S6. It will come in handy in situations where you need the extra charge. Since the latest smartphones don’t have removable batteries this accessory becomes a must for those who just can’t live without backup power. Last but not the least the Level On headphones from Samsung receive two new color options, blue and red, which go well with the new devices.

You can now rewatch the entire Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge announcement

The official announcement of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge was probably one of the most exciting in the history of Samsung’s UNPACKED events. The company touted a lot of the two handsets’ features, owned up to the mistakes it has made in the past year or so, and showed us that is ready to go outside its comfort zone in order to up its game in the smartphone market. If you were unable to watch the live stream of the announcement yesterday, you can now make up for it by watching the entire thing on YouTube.
As is usually the case, Samsung has posted the video for the full event, and also a 60 second recap of all the important moments. Like we said, this was one of the best UNPACKED events ever, so it’s best to stop reading and hit those play buttons down below. Oh, and once you are done, do check out our hands-on experience with the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge.

Samsung to bet on its homebrew SoCs by reducing dependency on Qualcomm’s chipsets

Samsung and Qualcomm share a unique, long standing relationship. However, the former seems to have changed its mind about being dependent on the latter for its chipset supply. For a good few years now, Samsung has been shipping phones (including its top-tier models) with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon series of chipsets. It turns out that the Korean fabricator just isn’t keen enough on pursuing the arrangement, and for that, it has been prepping its own chipset design. What you might already have heard is that theGalaxy S6 will most likely come with Samsung’s own Exynos 7420 SoC instead of the Snapdragon 810 as previously believed. While the exact reason behind this isn’t yet known, industry insiders have mentioned the Snapdragon 810′s overheating problems as the cause of it.
Qualcomm top-of-the-line SoC’s have gone on to become a de facto standard for almost every flagship in the recent years. And that is perhaps what bothers Samsung. The ‘rebel’ nature of the company was also seen when it pushed the Tizen project much more than any other Android manufacturer out there.
Qualcomm’s chipsets have traditionally included on-board modems, which make them an obvious choice for makers new and established. However, Samsung’s Exynos series chipsets known to power its higher-end phones need additional hardware in conjunction to be able to connect to radio networks and such. That is something Samsung will have to take care of in order to succeed with making its own SoCs… and fresh reports suggest likewise.
What do you think about the whole issue? Let us know in the comments section below.

amsung rolls out Lollipop update for the Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910C)

Today is the day, Galaxy Note 4 owners! Samsung has finally started updating its latest phablet flagship to Android 5.0 Lollipop, with the update currently making its way to users in Poland. The update is based on Android 5.0.1 (not the latest version of the OS, but we’re guessing Samsung will rectify that in the near future), and includes a new look and feel (that makes TouchWiz look really good compared to what you get on KitKat), faster performance, lockscreen notifications, improved battery life, and a few other goodies that make the Galaxy Note 4 feel as good as new.
The update doesn’t seem to have shown up on Kies just yet, so you will have to wait for the OTA to show up on your device (an excursion into the Settings » About phone » Software updates menu and mashing the Check now button might help you grab the update faster). Do remember that the update might not be immediately available on your Galaxy Note 4 even if you’re in Poland, and it will possibly be a month or so before we see it reach every country/region out there.
Check out some screenshots from Lollipop on the Galaxy Note 4 below, and also see it in action in our exclusive hands-on video right after the screenshots.
