Back to the horizon: Samsung’s Over the Horizon theme needs to get better with the Galaxy Note 7

I love Samsung’s Over the Horizon brand theme. Actually, I loved Samsung’s Over the Horizon brand theme. I don’t love it anymore. In fact, I don’t even like it anymore. The fully orchestrated classical version of the theme that debuted with the Galaxy S5 (or was it the S4?) was my favorite. For the Galaxy S6 edge, Samsung gave the theme a futuristic update that matched the phones’ beautiful and eye-catching design....

The Galaxy Note 7 is already breaking and setting records – and it hasn’t even been announced yet

Usually, when one discusses breaking and settings records, it’s done with the assumption that the item, product, and even person (in the case of sports records, for example) exists. Some would say that the Galaxy Note 7 doesn’t exist yet, but this claim would come from a very naïve perspective that doesn’t consider that phones can only have component leaks, colors, similar model numbers, and demo videos because they already exist....

Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge Lens Cover review

Samsung’s smartphones have always been one of the best when it comes camera quality, and the company’s focus on imaging has increased even more starting with the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. The company made meaningful changes to the camera. The resolution was dropped from 16 megapixels to 12 megapixels, but the pixel size has been increased from 1.12µm to 1.4µm, thereby providing improved...

Samsung’s new Gear VR headset listed for €90

We reported three weeks ago on a possible new Gear VR headset from Samsung bearing model number SM-R323. The first Gear VR Innovator Edition had model number SM-R320 and the Consumer Edition had model number SM-R321. It doesn’t take a genius to put the pieces together and come to the conclusion that the SM-R323 is likely going to be a new Gear VR headset from Samsung. No further details are available as yet about the headset so nothing can be said...

Samsung takes the wraps off the Galaxy J2 Pro with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage

Two weeks ago, Samsung took the wraps off the latest iteration in its Galaxy J lineup, the Galaxy J2 (2016). Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to have caught on quite as well as the firm would have hoped. As mentioned in our review, the handset carries a price tag of Rs. 9,750 ($144), but, much to our dissapointment, we didn’t find it good value for money. It’s not that the device isn’t innovative, because it is. The issue boils down to...

Samsung’s latest video shows “Mount Everest in the eyes of the Galaxy S7 & Gear 360″

Yesterday evening, Samsung took to its official Newsroom YouTube channel to share a short 360-degree video that was shot on the Galaxy S7 and Gear 360 documenting Korean climber and explorer Young-Ho Heo’s experiences on his most recent visit to Mount Everest. The 4K footage is truly breathtaking and really highlights the beauty of one of Earth’s most dangerous locations. Be sure to check out...
