Samsung will give you two tickets to see Suicide Squad if you buy one of its tablets

Samsung will happily give you two tickets to one of the most highly anticipated movies of this year if you just buy one of its tablets. The company is running a new promotion for a limited time in which it’s promising two tickets to see Suicide Squad as long as an eligible Galaxy tablet is purchased. It obviously doesn’t make sense to buy a tablet just to get free movie tickets that cost much less, but if you are genuinely interested in buying a new tablet then getting two tickets to see one of the hottest movies of 2016 is just an added incentive to buy a Samsung tablet.

That’s not all. Samsung will also provide customers with a code to download or stream Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. To be eligible for this promotion customers have to purchase one of these tablets online or through a participating retail location: Galaxy Tab A 10.1, Galaxy Tab S2, Galaxy View or Galaxy Tab ProS.

To redeem the offer they then have to visit this link where they will fill out an online claim form and upload an image of their receipt. Once their offer claim is approved they will receive a confirmation email with their Fandango Promotional Code for two tickets to Suicide Squad and a code to download or stream Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Both codes have to be redeemed by November 15 this year after which they will expire. If you’re interested in taking advantage of this promotion don’t forget to read the terms and conditions mentioned in detail on Samsung’s website.

Samsung details the contents of August security update

Samsung has taken to its official Security Blog to detail the contents of this month’s security update. Just like every other upgrade, this release consists of a plethora of patches that Google has developed for the Android operating system, in addition to a handful of tweaks made by the South Korean company exclusively for Galaxy-branded devices.

This latest update is primarily aimed at resolving an issue that resulted in malware being installed on a handset if the SideSync application was activated before finishing the Setup Wizard. Unfortunately, Samsung was unable to disclose the entire contents of the upgrade as it contains patches for bugs that may not have been discovered yet.

Samsung opens up Connect Auto SDK to interested partners

Samsung introduced the Connect Auto accessory earlier this year. It plugs into a car’s OBDII port to provide onboard diagnostics, a virtual assistant that monitors the condition of the car and provides alerts as well as in-car LTE-Wi-Fi. Samsung has now announced that the Connect Auto SDK is now open to interested partners who are willing to develop solutions for this product.

Those who are interested in creating solutions for the Samsung Connect Auto are required to have a Samsung Enterprise Alliance Program or SEAP partner account. The SDK will give them access to a cloud server for the device, it can either be the partner’s own cloud service or Samsung’s Connect Auto Cloud. Interested partners will be able to provide their own services through the dongle while Samsung will keep everything secured with Samsung Knox and Embedded Secure Element. AT&T is the only provider that will be providing 4G LTE connectivity for the Connect Auto but with the SDK now being opened up this functionality will soon be offered by other carriers across the globe.

Samsung expected to raise capital spending to expand production lines for NAND memory chips

It was revealed last month that Samsung’s NAND flash memory sales had hit an all-time high during the January-March period, and it’s now looking like the firm is hoping to encourage this number to grow throughout the remaining half of the year in order to widen the gap between itself and its competition.

Market researcher IC Insights believes that the Samsung will raise capital spending by an eye-watering 120 percent, which roughly equates to $7.5 billion. This money is expected to be invested into new facilities to expand production lines for vertical NAND memory chips and non-memory chips for smartphone applications.

To prevent itself from dipping into profits, Samsung will need to cut capital spending for another of its industries, and IC Insights predicts this will be its declining semiconductor business. It anticipates that funding will be reduced by as much as 15 percent, leaving the industry bosses with around $15 million to invest in development strategies.

Samsung sets the record straight on Samsung Pay vulnerability

You might have read yesterday that a security researcher claimed to have found a vulnerability in Samsung Pay which enables hackers to wirelessly steal credit cards. Samsung has taken its time to come up with a detailed response to the claims made by the security researcher and has also provided details about how the tokenization process actually works and just how secure it is. Samsung has also created a document which provides FAQs about this entire process so that those who are concerned about Samsung Pay security can put their trust in the mobile payments service once again.

“Keeping payment information safe is a top priority for Samsung Pay which is why Samsung Pay is built with highly advanced security features. It is important to note that Samsung Pay does not use the algorithm claimed in the Black Hat presentation to encrypt payment credentials or generate cryptograms. Samsung Pay is considered safer than payment cards because it transmits one time use data at the vast majority of merchants that do not yet have EMV (smart payment) terminals. With Samsung Pay, users do not have to swipe a static magnetic stripe card,” the company said in a statement.

The document it has created starts off with the basics by describing what Samsung Pay is. It then dives into the technical bits by explaining what a token and cryptogram is and how it is generated. Samsung also explains whether or not it’s possible for a hacker to steal a token to make a fraudulent payment. It provides detailed information on how Samsung Pay handles tokens to ensure user information is safe and secure while trying its best to put the concern to bed that it’s possible for someone to make payment using a stolen token. If you have been concerned about using Samsung Pay following the security researcher’s findings you should certainly read up on all of this.

Samsung faces criticism for pre-installing government app on the Galaxy Note 7 in Korea

Customers in South Korea might be pre-ordering the Galaxy Note 7 in great numbers but many have expressed their displeasure at Samsung pre-installing a government app on the handset. Some customers and the country’s main opposition party claim that the sole purpose of this application called Government 3.0 is to spread the government’s propaganda.

Government 3.0 is included in the list of pre-installed applications for the Galaxy Note 7 in Korea. When a new SIM is activated in the handset it’s in the batch of apps that users have to download on the phone. This is the first time that an app from the Korean government is included in this list. The government says that its app only takes up 1.2MB of space and will help users access services like issuance of public documents and online tax services. Civic group Green Consumer Network is not convinced, though, it says that the “government is arm-twisting consumers by forcing them to use an unwanted service.”Samsung does point out that customers who don’t want to use the app can ignore it to delete after it has been installed.

Canada gets the Snapdragon 820 processor inside the Galaxy Note 7

Samsung released the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge to Canada with an Exynos 8890 processor but it has shuffled things around for its latest handset. It appears that the Galaxy Note 7 that Samsung is going to release in Canada is actually powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 processor. It was initially believed that Canada would get the Exynos 8890-powered models as the Qualcomm processor has almost always been exclusive to models meant for the United States but that has changed this time around.

It made sense to keep this division as Snapdragon processors have support for CDMA which is still alive and well in the US through several carriers while most subscribers in Canada have shifted to GSM networks. It appears that to simplify the logistics involved in shipping millions of handsets, Samsung has decided to offer one model across all of North America which features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor.

Unknown Samsung-branded tablet passes through the FCC

Earlier today, an unidentified Samsung-branded tablet passed through the United States of America’s official certification authority, the FCC. Unfortunately, the documentation provided in the application form doesn’t reveal anything about the slate. However, based on its dimensions (237.1 x 168.8 mm) and the inclusion of two docking pins on the rear of the device similar to the ones that debuted on the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7, we’d make an educated guess that we’re looking at the Galaxy Tab S3 9.7.

Thankfully, we’re not completely in the dark as the paperwork does divulge that the tablet is set to pack a variety of different connectivity options, including 4G LTE, Bluetooth (Version 4.2, LE+EDR), 802.11b/802.11g/802.11n/802.11ac Wi-Fi, GPS, NFC, and GPS. There are also some references that suggest it will have a CPU clock speed of 1.6GHz, but it’s perfectly feasible that they could be referring to something else — so it’s best to take that specification with a rather large pinch of salt.

Galaxy Note 7 pre-orders in Korea double that of the Galaxy S7

Data out of Korea shows that the Galaxy Note 7 pre-orders are almost double that of the Galaxy S7. Pre-orders have only been open for a couple of days now and already over 200,000 units have been ordered by customers, making this the highest pre-order figure for a Galaxy smartphone ever in Korea. The Galaxy Note 7′s attractive features coupled with Samsung’s aggressive marketing push is reportedly bringing in more customers.

As is the case in other markets, Samsung is also offering customers in Korea a Gear Fit 2 activity tracker for free. It is even promising 50 percent off the repair cost if the screen of the handset ever breaks. Customers will also receive a 100,000 won gift card that can be used on the Samsung Pay Mall. Samsung is operating nearly 2,800 experience zones for the Galaxy Note 7 across the country whereas it had some 2,000 experience zones for the Galaxy S7. The Galaxy Note 7 will be released globally on August 19.

[Exclusive] Samsung Z2 launching in these countries, firmware and wallpapers available

The Samsung Z3 is set to be the third Tizen smartphone that will go on sale in the consumer market. The phone made an official appearance at the Galaxy Note 7 event in South Africa recently, and the latest word out there is that the Z2 will be launched in the Indian market on August 11th (the same day the Note 7 is set to launch in the country). It looks like the August 11th announcement is actually happening, as firmware for the device have made their way online.

In addition to markets like India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, where the Z1 was made available, the Z2 will be marking Tizen’s debut in the African continent. Particularly, in South Africa and Nigeria; Indonesia is another market where Tizen will be introduced this year. There have been rumors of the Z3 making its way to Europe, but that hasn’t happened yet, and it doesn’t look like Europe will be getting the Z2 either. It isn’t surprising, as the Z2 is too low-end a device to really have a chance at making people switch from all the Android alternatives in European countries.

We also have the wallpapers from the Z2 available for download; you can grab them below by right-clicking/long pressing on an image to save it to your PC or phone.

Seven subtle improvements Samsung introduced with the Galaxy Note 7

The Galaxy Note 7 is as close to a Galaxy S device as it gets when it comes to hardware specifications and design. When the Galaxy Note 7 was announced earlier this month, many said that it’s just a Galaxy S7 edge with an S Pen. However, as always, Samsung has introduced various subtle improvements with its latest flagship, and here we list out seven most notable ones from the Note 7 when compared to the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge.

Always On Display

First introduced with the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, Always On Display mode was an excellent way to have consistent information like time, date, and calendar on the display. However, it had limited functionality as it could only display notifications from stock apps like the phone, dialer and messaging apps. Now, Samsung has allowed notifications from third-party apps to be shown in Always On Display mode.

The Galaxy Note 7 ships with Always On Display v1.7, and it supports not only third-party app notifications but also information from Samsung Notes. Users can pin notes, scribbles, or drawings that they saved in the Samsung Notes app to Always On Display for quick reference when needed.

Icon Packs in themes

Samsung introduced the ability to install third-party themes with the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge through the company’s Theme Store. Samsung has improved it over time by adding a few features like AOD themes and Interactive Lock Screens. With the Galaxy Note 7, the company has added the ability to mix and match icons.

Galaxy Note 7 users can mix and match icons and wallpapers from different themes for even better UI customization. However, only icons from the Theme Store can be used. Icon packs that you purchased from the Google Play Store are not supported.

Resolution scaling in Power Saving Mode

Power Saving Mode has been available on Galaxy devices since the Galaxy S days, and the Galaxy S5 was the first phone to offer Ultra Power Saving Mode. Both these modes limit functionality or performance of the device to save power. However, the Galaxy Note 7 becomes the first Samsung smartphone that can dial down screen resolution to save power.

You can scale down the Galaxy Note 7′s screen resolution to 1080p (or 720p) to save power and switch back to QHD when using it with the Gear VR for a more pixel-rich, immersive experience. Apart from this, you can also limit maximum brightness, device performance, and prevent background network usage for further power saving.

Support for Galileo GNSS for improved location accuracy and reliability

You might not have noticed, but apart from GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS, and SBAS, Samsung has included support for Galileo, the European Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), on the Galaxy Note 7. Galaxy Note 7 users in selected regions will be able to take the help of more than 80 different satellites to help locate their position for navigation and other location-based apps.

Blue Light Filter

If you didn’t know already, blue light emitted from smartphone displays strain human eyes. There are a lot of third-party apps in the Play Store that help users in applying a blue light filter on Android smartphones. However, Samsung has added the Blue Light Filter option right inside TouchWiz, so you don’t have to install any additional third-party app.

Secure Folder

Private Mode on Galaxy devices is useful to hide personal images and videos, but what if you want to save other types of personal files from prying eyes? Well, Samsung has introduced Secure Folder, a place where users will be able to hide all personal files including images, videos, PDFs, documents, and other files.

Files stored in the Secure Folder can’t be located from anywhere else in the Galaxy Note 7. Only the owner (or an authenticated user) can open the Secure Folder using a registered fingerprint or iris. This feature is a welcome addition to the Galaxy Note 7 as users won’t have to install additional apps from the Play Store for this purpose. Most importantly it is tightly integrated into TouchWiz.

Gorilla Glass 5 for improved protection from shoulder height drops

The Galaxy Note 7 is the first smartphone in the world to feature Gorilla Glass 5 protection. Corning, maker of Gorilla Glass 5, claims that the newer version of Gorilla Glass can protect the device from 1.6-meter, shoulder-height drops onto hard surfaces up to 80 percent of the time.

The mentioned height is twice as strong as the failure threshold of Gorilla Glass 4, which is used in the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge as well as the Galaxy Note 5. We should now see much fewer cases of Galaxy Note 7 devices with shattered or cracked glass panels.

Improved camera app

Samsung has consistently released smartphones with top-notch cameras. Camera hardware and software are equally important for providing a feature-rich yet intuitive imaging experience on smartphones. Samsung’s improved camera app that comes pre-installed with the Galaxy Note 7 adds useful gestures to let users switch easily between regular, pro and selfie modes.

The new app looks much cleaner and simplified compared to the older camera app, thanks to a better placement of icons and gesture controls. Even live filters can be accessed through swipes in this improved camera app.

---

Apart from these seven features, various other things have been improved or implemented in the Galaxy Note 7. Some of these features include support for watching HDR videos, Samsung Cloud storage for easier device backups, USB Type-C port, Samsung Notes, an improved S Pen with 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, ability to create GIFs on the fly, and more. It’s a lot, overall, and it all contributes towards making the Galaxy Note 7 the most feature-packed flagship smartphone today.

Reasons to upgrade from the Galaxy Note 4 to the Galaxy Note 7

The Galaxy Note 4 is a special device. It was a flagship full of problems, like laggy software and a horrendous lack of support from Samsung, but it is also unique for the fact that it was the last true Note flagship to offer features like a large and removable battery, a microSD slot, and an IR blaster. Well, that’s at least when you compare it to the Galaxy Note 5, which did away with expandable storage, reduced the battery size and sealed it away inside a glass back, and also lacked an IR blaster. It also didn’t make its way to Europe, a move that was clearly a big mistake and put the device out of the reach of all the Note fans in the continent.

With the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung has brought everything but the IR blaster back and also added a ton of new features to the mix. It makes the phablet a great choice for Note 4 users looking to upgrade, and here are some of the biggest reasons why.

Faster, smoother software

The laggy software on the Galaxy Note 4 was the biggest letdown, especially since it had all the right hardware ticking away inside. The Galaxy S6 and S6 edge brought with them a heavily optimized version of Samsung’s software, and the company has only been improving things further ever since. If we are to use an euphemism here, the Note 7 should feel like a Formula One car compared to the nearly wagon-like performance that Note 4 users are habituated to, and it’s a huge draw for anyone that currently owns Samsung’s fourth-generation Note flagship.

Water resistance

The Note 7 might not have a removable battery, but it is resistant to water and dust. It’s not a feature you would require in day-to-day usage, but you can rest assured that a few drops of water out in the rain or an accidental drop in a pool of water won’t mean you have to take the phone to the nearest Samsung store for repair/a replacement. The S Pen is water resistant as well, so you can go about the note taking and doodling even when the phone’s screen is wet.

Improved cameras

The Galaxy Note 4′s 16-megapixel camera was one of the best in the market at the time, but camera technology has come a long way since then and the Note 7 comes with the same excellent rear camera as the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge. It’s only a 12-megapixel sensor, but it’s lightning quick to focus thanks to the Dual Pixel technology and completely trumps the Note 4′s camera when it comes to low-light photography. The front camera hasn’t gotten much of an upgrade, but it does give you slightly more megapixels to work with (5-megapixel on the Note 7 vs 3.7-megapixel on the Note 4).

Bigger battery, higher internal storage

The Galaxy Note 4′s 3,220 mAh battery was replaced by a 3,000 mAh battery on the Note 5, and while the Note 5 could last a day with regular usage, it couldn’t instill the confidence that a large battery can. Samsung has put in a 3,500 mAh battery on the Note 7, which should combine with improved software optimization to offer battery life on par with, if not better than, the Galaxy Note 4. You also get fast charging on both wired and wireless chargers, so that’s another perk.

Then there’s the fact that the Note 7 comes with 64GB of built-in storage and a microSD slot. The high internal storage means you won’t be running out of space for installing apps and games any time soon, and a microSD card will let you store all the media you need to carry with you. The Note 5 was severely limited on the storage front, but the Note 7 brings everything back with a bang.

Iris scanner

The iris scanner on the Note 7 can be a major draw for owners of any existing Android phone, not just Note 4 owners. It comes with a lot of conditions, but the iris scanner is extremely quick when it works and can be used not just for unlocking the device, but for Samsung Pay authorizations and whatever functions third-party apps will build in in the future. The Note 7 also gets a touch-based fingerprint sensor and Samsung’s new Secure Mode feature, so when it comes to security, the device has a lot to offer to those upgrading from a Note 4.

Improved S Pen with new features

The S Pen on the Note 7 can recognize 4,096 pressure levels, a four times jump from the 1,024-level pressure sensitivity of the stylus that accompanied the Note 4. In simple terms, the Note 7′s S Pen is considerably more accurate than the Note 4′s and will feel much closer to a regular pen. Samsung has also put in new features – you can make GIFs from any video that plays on the device, and translate any foreign text simply by highlighting it with the stylus. You also get Screen off memo, which lets you start taking notes by removing the S Pen from its slot even when the device is locked and the screen is off. This feature was ported to the Note 4 after the Note 5 came out, but it’s always better to have the official thing, right?

That Blue Coral Note 7!

Do we really need to say more? The Note 7 looks awesome in that blue and gold color palette, and while this is far from a big reason to be spending money on a new device, we just thought we would throw it in here. Thankfully, Samsung seems to be launching the Blue Coral model in most markets (Dubai and India are said to be getting the gold version instead), so it shouldn’t be hard for most folks to get their hands on the blue Note 7.

---

The Galaxy Note 5 did many things wrong. It took away power user features, and Samsung decided for some insane reason that the device didn’t need to come to the European continent. The Galaxy Note 7 can be considered an official apology from the Korean giant, and we really think that Note 4 owners looking for an upgrade have no need to wait and should place an order for the Note 7 as soon as they can. Our full review will better tell you what the Note 7 offers, but going by the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, we can safely say the Note 7 will not be a disappointment.

Do you agree with our opinion on why the Galaxy Note 7 is a great upgrade over the Note 4? Do you think we missed anything that could be a better reason to upgrade than the ones listed above (like the USB Type-C port)? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section!

The QuadRooter vulnerability has affected over 900M Android devices, including the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge

It has been revealed today that the QuadRooter exploit has affected over 900 million Android devices with Qualcomm chipsets, including the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge. For those unaware, QuadRooter is a set of four vulnerabilities, which each provide a different path for an attacker to gain root access to a handset through a malicious application that doesn’t require any special permissions to function.

The loophole was first reported to Qualcomm back in April. After the treat had been assessed as high risk, the CERT-CC (Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center) provided the chip manufacturer with 90 days to patch the bugs and distribute an update package to OEM’s and network carriers for distribution. Three of the flaws were fixed in Google’s most recent security update, while the fourth will be addressed in the upcoming September release.

It’s worth noting, however, that not all Qualcomm-powered smartphones are affected by the QuadRooter vulnerability and, fortunately, it’s easy enough to see if yours is. All you have to do is head over to the Play Store and install an application called QuadRooter Scanner. This will thoroughly analyze your smartphone or tablet to discover it is susceptible to the exploit.

Samsung Display dominating the mobile OLED industry with 99% marketshare

Several manufacturers have switched to OLED displays given the kind of benefits they offer compared to standard LCD panels. This has led to a massive surge in shipments, mostly for Samsung, which reportedly controls about 99% of the global smartphone OLED market. The information was provided by research firm IHS.

The company saw a record second quarter shipments and a year-on-year (YoY) growth of 81.5% with 98.38 million smartphone OLED panels shipped in Q2 2016. This is up from the 52 million mobile OLED panels shipped in Q2 2015.

It is said that the ratio of the mobile OLED market has touched 25% as of now, with a total of 366.88 million OLED panels expected to be shipped this year. While Samsung’s clientele currently includes the likes of Oppo and Vivo, Apple is also expected to finally join the OLED bandwagon with the iPhone 7 this year. Samsung is believed to have spent about $6.8 billion towards the production of OLED panels in anticipation of Apple’s new iPhone.

Always On Display on the Galaxy Note 7 supports third-party app notifications

Samsung usually introduces new features with Galaxy S smartphones and then refines them on Galaxy Note smartphones. One such feature is the Always On Display mode that was introduced with the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. Now, Samsung has released an improved version of the feature with the Galaxy Note 7.

The Galaxy Note 7 comes with Always On Display v1.7.12 pre-installed, and it supports third-party app notifications. Earlier, notifications from only stock apps like S Planner and Messages were allowed on Always On Display, and many consumers requested Samsung to allow third-party apps. It’s great to see that Samsung is listening to at least some requests from its customers.
