Samsung releases ’7 Days of Unboxing’ videos leading up to the Galaxy S7 release

With the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge almost nearing release, the company’s marketing team is working double time to make sure there’s enough buzz surrounding the handsets. The Korean manufacturer has now released two new promo videos titled “7 Days of Unboxing” as we lead up to the Unpacked event.

The first one features a child named Tyson unboxing the device. After being in a room with the device for 30 seconds, Tyson goes out and tries to portray what he saw on a blank piece of paper. Naturally, we can’t decipher much from Tyson’s representation of the Galaxy S7.

The second video which was published earlier today goes even further and shows a Llama unboxing the device. Yes, we’re talking about an actual Llama, called Kuzco. Once the friendly animal walks into the room and checks out the device for itself, it is given a canvas to draw whatever was seen inside. Needless to say, the art was quite interesting, although nowhere close to what the Galaxy S7 or the Galaxy S7 edge might look like.

We should see more videos of this nature as we lead up to Sunday’s launch. It’s certainly going to be an interesting week for us Samsung fans.

What do you make of these videos?

You can now order the new Chromebook 3 in the US for $200

Earlier today, the third-generation of Samsung’s Chrome OS-powered laptop, the Chromebook 3, popped up for order on a third-party independent retailer’s website in the United States. The device carries a price tag of $200, which certainly isn’t a bad price to pay for an ultra-portable laptop that’s perfect for updating social feeds, responding to emails and creating documents whilst on the go.

This is the exact same Chromebook 3 that Samsung unveiled during its rather lengthy press conference at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last month. The device is identical to its predecessor. However, Samsung has removed the outdated ARM processor in favour of the new Intel Braswell generation Celeron chip.

The South Korean company claims that this new CPU will not only benefit performance, but will deliver a significantly better battery life than the previous generation, which only lasted for around 8-hours. With this latest model, users can expect to receive around 11-hours of heavy usage from a full 1-hour charge.

All other internals have been kept the same, meaning the Chromebook 3 continues to pack an 11.6-inch display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, 2GB/4GB of DDR3 RAM, 16GB of expandable internal storage, HDMI and USB 3.0.

Bag yourself a free pair of Level U Wireless headphones by adding a card to Samsung Pay

Samsung has just kicked off a pretty nifty little promotion to entice new users to its mobile payment platform in the United States. For the next 6-days, anyone who signs up to the service will be rewarded with a free pair of the company’s Level U Wireless headphones, which retail for $34.99, when they link their first debit/credit card to their Samsung Pay account.

To take advantage of this deal, simply launch the Samsung Pay app on your smartphone and tap in your card details. Next, you’ll need to read through the blurb and accept the terms and conditions. Once you’ve done that, hit the More button in the top-right hand corner of your screen and click on Events. A page will then appear with instructions on how to claim your free headphones.

Unfortunately, it’s unclear at this stage whether the company will offer the same deal in SpainRussia and the United Kingdom when it launches the service alongside the Galaxy S7 in these regions. However, I certainly hope so as I won’t be forgoing a free pair of Level U Wireless headphones for not registering my details. After all, there’s no strings attached.

Over 3 million Tizen smartphones were reportedly sold last year

Samsung doesn’t have as many Tizen-powered smartphones and the ones that it has released up till now have been primarily focused towards the low-end of the market. The idea was to provide a smartphone to customers who may not be willing to spend too much on a mobile phone and if a latest report is to be believed the strategy just might be starting to pay off for Samsung.

Strategy Analytics claims that Samsung sold more than 3 million Tizen-powered smartphones in 2015. That’s a considerable achievement considering that Tizen is a nascent platform and Samsung is the company that currently sells handsets powered by it. Tizen is now the fourth largest mobile OS in the world. Bangladesh, Nepal and India accounted for the bulk of the sales. Samsung will soon be launching its Tizen-powered smartphones in Russia to capture further market share from Android which is as yet unchallenged in the low-end of the market.

Samsung introduces a new 14nm Exynos processor for mid-range devices

Samsung today announced a new mobile SoC to expand the reach of its advanced semiconductor technology to mid-range smartphones. It has announced the newest member of its Exynos 7 Octa processor family. The Exynos 7 Octa 7870 uses Samsung’s most advanced 14-nanometer FinFET process technology and has been designed primarily for mid-range smartphones and other mobile devices.

We reported earlier this month that Samsung already has a new mid-range smartphone in the pipeline that will be powered by its new Exynos processor. The Galaxy J7 (2016) is expected to be unveiled in the coming months and it’s rumored to be powered by the Exynos 7870 processor. Samsung hasn’t confirmed this for now though.

Samsung Mobile managed 14% smartphone profits in 2015, Apple sits firmly at 91%

According to a revelation made by Cannacord Genuity, Samsung managed to account for 14 percent of the smartphone profits in 2015. Apple on the other hand, accounted for about 91 percent of the profits raked in during the year, asserting its dominance in the mobile industry yet again.

While the two figures added up is nothing short of a mathematical anomaly, there’s an explanation for that. Cannacord reports that the likes of Sony, HTC, Lenovo etc lost 1 percent each of their profit margins compared to 2014, while Microsoft lost pretty big with a 3 percent decrease in profits.

The likes of BlackBerry, LG, TCL (responsible for Alcatel OneTouch phones) didn’t even touch the 1 percent mark, thus accounting for the rest of the pie.

profitchart

As far as Samsung’s position in the market is concerned, it is important to note that the company was at 11 percent in Q3 2015. So it seems like some last minute holiday season shopping has helped Samsung bump up its profits by about 3 percent. Interestingly, Apple was at 94 percent in Q3 2015. So one could say that Samsung’s best days are ahead, especially with the release of the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge on the horizon.

Samsung possibly teasing the Gear 360 VR camera on Twitter

The leaks and rumors have been flying around aplenty in recent days, and with less than a week to go to Samsung’s Unpacked event, the company has started officially teasing what is to come. We exclusively reported that Samsung is working on the Gear 360 virtual reality camera, which is expected to accompany the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge on February 21. The Unpacked event invite backed our report up as well, and it looks like Samsung’s Twitter account could just have teased the Gear 360.

“Change the way you capture every angle on 2.21.16″ is what one tweet says on the official Samsung Mobile Twitter mobile handle, with a video of someone capturing a boy and girl giving each other a “smoochie-oochie”. It’s not exactly the kind of thing you would want to capture on virtual reality (compared to landscapes or some such, at least in the background), but we can’t help but think the tweet is referring to the Gear 360 in some way.

Of course, we would also be reaching a bit far with all this, especially since the #TheNextGalaxy tag in the tweet means it could simply be a hint towards the Galaxy S7 and its new 12-megapixel BRITECELL camera. Either way, we can expect the teases to continue as the anticipated day gets closer and hopefully give us some hints that the internet hasn’t already put out there.

Samsung Mobile President Dongjin Koh talks about the company’s vision for the future

J.K. Shin served as the chief of Samsung’s mobile business for a very long time but back in December last year he handed over the day-to-day running to Dongjin Koh. Shin continues to head the overall mobile division and is now focused on long-term growth strategy and development of new growth businesses. Koh is now the president of Samsung’s IT & Mobile Communications Business. He previously served as the head of mobile research and development at Samsung, playing an integral role in the launch of high-end devices like the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy Note 5.

A new video released by the company sees Dongjin Koh discuss Samsung’s vision, new products as well as his personal objectives ahead of Unpacked 2016. He reiterates Samsung’s commitment to offering new values and extend benefits of new technologies to its customers. “We should try something new,” he says, “something which hasn’t been done before.” The short video offers great insight into how Koh conducts business and the vision that he has to propel the company’s mobile business forward.

The Galaxy S7 edge has leaked in Dubai, box and all

There have been quite a few leaks over the past few days. We’ve seen live pictures and renders of the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge but the latest leak shows off a purported unit of the Galaxy S7 edge that has been outed in Dubai and it’s accompanied by the box and accessories. The device seen in these pictures does appear to be very similar to the one we’ve seen in previous leaks so far.

Someone is actually selling this handset on Dubizzle – that’s like Craigslist for Dubai – for 4500 AED or just about $1100. The box contains what appears to be two different chargers and oddly no earphones. Nobody can vouch for this product since Samsung hasn’t officially released the handset as yet and it’s unclear whether this is just a prototype or a dummy unit no matter how closely it resembles the real deal. The listing says that the unit has been “imported from USA” and that customers can get it before launch. If you’re in Dubai and can’t wait for Samsung’s next flagship to arrive maybe you can get this at your own risk, it’s not like people haven’t been scammed before.

Samsung’s smartphone market share in India grows to 46 percent

Samsung, which has consistently been India’s largest smartphone manufacturer for the past few years, is now claiming that its market share has increased from 35 percent in 2014 to 46 percent in 2015. According to PTI, Manu Sharma, director for mobiles business at Samsung India Electronics, said during the launch of the Galaxy A5 (2016) and the Galaxy A7 (2016) that the company’s smartphone market share in India now stands at 45.9 percent.

The South Korean electronics giant now has an overall market share of 44 percent across all the segments. Mr. Sharma said that Samsung is working on bringing innovations to the market with a strong focus on research and development. “We have 10,000 engineers working to really differentiate our offering in the market by bringing innovations,” he said. The company is manufacturing all its mobile devices in india except the Gear VR and the Gear S2.

Samsung had been facing a stiff competition in the Indian market from brands like Motorola, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Micromax and Lenovo, but it looks like the company is back on track, especially after launching value-for-money devices in Galaxy J series and Galaxy On series of smartphones. The company recently announced that it will start offering dual-SIM versions of its high-end smartphones starting this year. It has already launched the Galaxy Note 5 dual SIM in India.
