Rumor: Galaxy Note 6 will come to Europe, but no new Edge+ handset

An interesting new leak, from the folks over TechRadar, suggests that Samsung will be fixing one of its biggest mistakes from last year in 2016. The site cites a source within one of UK’s major network operators and says that Samsung will not be launching the next edge+ handset in the UK but will bring the Galaxy Note lineup back in August with the Galaxy Note 6.

That would be the exact opposite of what Samsung did with the Galaxy Note 5 and S6 edge+ for the European region. The source says “backlash from loyal Note fans” is the reason behind the decision, and it’s not surprising – the Note 5 is the best Galaxy Note in the series’ history (well, since the Note II maybe), especially after the disappointing Galaxy Note 4, and it was downright evil that the Korean giant didn’t bring the handset to so many countries. Many rumors suggested the Note 5 would make an appearance in the continent, but that didn’t exactly turn out to be true (as we had hinted at).

Sales of the S6 edge+ were reportedly not that great, but we guess that is why Samsung decided to make it its sole late 2015 flagship in Europe: push the new form factor and the Edge lineup by making it the only option for a large number of consumers, and simply make excuses about “consumer preference” for the move. The source of this information didn’t say if this means the edge+ lineup will be going away completely, but we wouldn’t put it past the company to do so.

Why? Well, first off, the 5.5-inch Galaxy S7 in the first half of 2016 would leave little sense in making a Galaxy S7 edge+ with a screen that’s 0.2-inches larger, unless Samsung decides to go with a 6-inch or larger display instead. It would also give them a chance to bring the Note lineup back with a bang and make it the main phablet flagship offering once again. As current rumors stand though, the Galaxy S7 edge+ has only been postponed and not cancelled, so there’s no telling what Samsung will do a year after the S6 edge+ and Note 5′s launch.

Of course, there’s also the fact that we are many months away from a Galaxy Note 6 (there’s even a chance a new Galaxy Note will never arrive), so anything could happen between now and then. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are hogging all the limelight these days, and both are shaping up to be great smartphones that won’t let us spend any time caring about the next Note.

Samsung Z1 now receiving Tizen 2.4 update in India

Following a five-month long beta testing program, Samsung has finally started rolling out the long-awaited Tizen 2.4 update (Z130HDDU0CPB1) to the Samsung Z1 in India. The upgrade weighs in at a fairly hefty 262MB and brings a truckload of new services to the open-source operating system, including WhatsApp Calling, Ultra Data Saving Mode and the facility to create private memos that require a password to view, edit and delete.

As you’d expect, Samsung has also made a ton of optimizations to its existing features on the firmware. The changelog shows that the default Message, Smart Manager, Camera, Music Player, Video Recorder and Settings applications have all been the subject of minor alterations. These changes are targeted at improving a user’s overall experience when navigating around the OS. The lock screen has been streamlined as well to make unlocking the handset smoother and faster than ever before.

If you own a Samsung Z1, are located in India and want to see if the update is ready for your device, first ensure your unit has at least 50% charge, then head into Settings, scroll to the bottom and tap on “About Device”, hit “Software Update” and select Update”. Alternatively, you can wait until you receive a notification prompting you to install the upgrade, but this will only happen if you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network.

Galaxy J5 (2016) and Galaxy J7 (2016) hit the Bluetooth SIG

We already know Samsung is working on the Galaxy J5 (2016) and Galaxy J7 (2016), successors to two of its best budget smartphones. Quite a few leaks in recent weeks have given us information on both handsets, and the phones have now appeared on the Bluetooth SIG website. They were submitted for certification in early January, and the Bluetooth SIG listing is simply another confirmation that new versions of the Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 are on the way.

The original J5 and J7 were launched in June last year, so it should be a couple of months before Samsung announces their sequels. In terms of specifications, the Galaxy J5 (2016) should feature a 5.2-inch 720p display, a quad-core Snapdragon 410 CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 13 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front camera, and 16GB of internal storage. The Galaxy J7 (2016)’s specs should include a 5.5-inch 1080p display, 2/3GB of RAM, and possibly a 4,300 mAh battery. It will be powered by either a Snapdragon octa-core chip or Samsung’s new Exynos 7870 processor, and could also feature a fingerprint sensor.

On the software front, we have seen the new J5 and J7 with both Android 5.1.1 and Android 6.0.1 in benchmarks, though their expected launch time frame (around the middle of the year if Samsung follows regular routine) means Android 6.0 is pretty much a guarantee. We will be on the lookout for more details on these handsets and continue to update you with anything we find.
