Galaxy J7 (2016) will be powered by new Exynos 7870 SoC

The Galaxy J7 (2016) has made unofficial appearances a couple of times in the last month; its specs were listed on the GFXBench benchmark for all to see, and we recently came across kernel sources for the device that reiterated those specs (and even suggested the presence of a fingerprint sensor on the mid-range phone). The original Galaxy J7 came in both Exynos and Snapdragon processor...

Be a kind soul, put SamMobile on your ad blocker’s whitelist!

Ads. We all hate them. Especially if they are in-your-face and take away from the experience of using the actual product those ads are showing up in. Getting the ability to block ads is one of the top reasons for many for rooting their Android smartphones, and getting an ad blocker on a desktop browser like Chrome, Firefox or Opera is pretty simple. With the whole “see ads and use our product for free” tradition that has permeated much of the web,...

SlamdunQ Golf arrives for the Gear S2 to perfect your golf swing

Golf, like any other sport, mandates practice, study, and examination. Not only must you practice your golf swing and how you hit the ball, among other things, but you must also examine the distance between you and the hole, weigh the intensity at which you hit the ball (so that it goes in the goal, not past it), and so on. It looks easy when champions emerge, but only practice makes perfect. SlamdunQ...

Samsung loans Galaxy Note 5 to tourists, brings business to home country

There’s an understood, though implicit, idea that says that a man’s character is determined by how he treats his mother, sister(s), and family. The same concept applies in business: a company’s character is judged not by how much money it makes or how much money sits in the bank, but how it gives back to its community, its home country. Samsung makes millions each year in sales, but the company’s never too preoccupied to give back to its home country,...

Samsung drops out of the top 5 smartphone vendors list in China
