Samsung will hold its annual developers’ conference next month. It has provided additional detail about the SDC 2018 sessions today. Samsung will highlight its latest technology at the event that developers and business partners can utilize. We will get an insight into the company’s software advancements as well.

SDC 2018 sessions will focus on some key technologies

Bixby will be in focus at the event. Samsung’s AI platform will be the subject of several sessions. Key leaders from the Bixby team will explain the technology in detail and outline the vision for its future. Developers will be able to learn the fundamentals of developing for Bixby.

SmartThings is Samsung’s platform for connecting and controlling smart devices. It was unveiled at SDC 2017. Samsung will also demonstrate the many ways that this platform can be integrated with more devices.

Samsung will also be talking about gaming during its developers’ conference. It launched the Galaxy GameDev program two years ago at SDC 2016. The program offers developers the support they need to prepare their games. Samsung will introduce new tools this year to aid their creativity. The company will also provide a behind-the-scenes look at how its partnership with Epic optimized Fortnite for Galaxy devices.

In addition to these SDC 2018 sessions, Samsung will also introduce improvements for Samsung Health, Samsung Pay, DeX, AR Emoji and Tizen OS. The Samsung Developer Conference takes place in San Francisco on November 7-8. We’ll be on the ground to bring you the latest updates from the event.

Samsung’s cheapest fast wireless charger is coming soon

A month ago, the Korean media revealed that Samsung might be bringing wireless charging to non-flagship Galaxy phones. It’s uncertain if and when that will happen, but the Korean giant now has a more affordable fast wireless charger to sell us. A new fast wireless charger with model code EP-P1100 is now listed on Samsung’s website with a price tag of €34.99.

Samsung wireless chargers to become more affordable

Samsung’s existing fast wireless charging pad costs €59.99 at the moment, while the Wireless Charger Duo that the company launched with the Galaxy Note 9 is priced at €99.99. That makes the new €34.99 charger the cheapest wireless charger yet from Samsung. Its specs are the same as the older fast wireless charging pad, but it has a slimmer and more compact design. It runs off a USB Type-C cable, which is to be expected. However, you can’t purchase this charger just yet, although that shouldn’t be the case for long since Samsung has already listed the price.

It also remains to be seen if budget or mid-range phones with wireless charging support will join the Galaxy lineup anytime soon, and whether the first such model will have fast charging support. It probably will have fast charging support, as it’s a feature that makes Galaxy phones stand out from the competition. Again, nothing is certain at the moment, but if you have been eyeing one of Samsung’s fast wireless chargers for your flagship Galaxy phone, you may soon be able to get one for cheap.

PUBG or Fortnite: Which one are you playing on your Galaxy device?

It’s not an understatement to say that PUBG and Fortnite are the most popular titles in multiplayer gaming right now. The arrival of PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) on mobile devices as a free title made it an instant hit, and Fortnite followed in August as an alternative with a light-hearted tone and Minecraft-like building elements. Fortnite’s launch on Android as an exclusive for Galaxy phones and tablets made it less accessible at first, but at this point it’s available for a number of Android devices.

PUBG vs Fortnite: What’s your poison?

If you open Samsung’s Galaxy Apps store on your phone, you will see banners for both games. But PUBG is more well known, perhaps because it has been around for longer and also because it’s available on Google Play. Galaxy phone and tablet users can grab Fortnite off Galaxy Apps, but for everyone else, installing Fortnite on an Android device involves manually downloading the APK file in the browser. Fortnite also doesn’t run on as many devices as PUBG yet, so its reach is comparatively limited.

But both PUBG and Fortnite are undeniably fun, especially when you’re playing with friends. The question is: Which one are you playing on your Galaxy device? Which one do you like better? Let us know by voting in the poll below, then tell us more down in the comments section!

Galaxy A3 (2017) October 2018 security update is out

Samsung’s last compact mid-range Galaxy A smartphone is now getting an update with the latest Android security patch. The Galaxy A3 (2017) is being updated with the October 2018 security patch in Turkey, Morocco, and the UAE. The update comes with build number A320FXXS4CRJ1.

Galaxy A3 (2017) October security update released

The October 2018 security patch fixes a dozen critical Android OS vulnerabilities and 11 critical ones discovered in Samsung’s software. Does the update include anything other than the new security patch? We’re not sure, but it will hopefully fix any lingering issues users might have since the A3 (2017)’s Oreo update was released. Samsung has already patched the one major issue A3 (2017) owners had been facing after the Oreo update, which is random reboots.

Have a Galaxy A3 (2017)? Check and see if the update is available for you by opening the phone’s Settings app, going into the Software update section, then tapping the Download updates manually option. Our firmware database has the latest firmware available for download for those looking for an alternative route to update their phone. Do let us know if you have received the update already and whether you notice anything new or different once it has been installed.

Samsung’s 512GB microSD card costs as much as a mid-range phone

The Galaxy Note 9 is the first Samsung phone to offer official support for 512GB microSD cards. However, the company didn’t have a 512GB card of its own to offer alongside the phone when it went on sale around the world. But Samsung did confirm that it would release a 512GB card at some point, and it is now listed officially on the company’s website in Germany.

Samsung’s 512GB microSD card is quite pricey

Samsung’s 512GB microSD card is part of its EVO Plus range of cards. It’s a class 10 card that can reach read and write speeds of 100 MB/s and 90 MB/s respectively and can store up to 24 hours of 4K videos and 150,300 pictures. And it comes at a premium, as expected. Samsung Germany has it listed for €289.99 ($330), which is nearly the price of the mid-range Galaxy A7. It’s also nearly triple the price of a 256GB EVO Plus card, so buying a 512GB Galaxy Note 9 would be a more affordable affair. And the price isn’t likely to drop anytime soon, although it should become cheaper in a few years as demand for higher storage capacities continues to rise.

Samsung isn’t taking orders for the card just yet and doesn’t have a release date mentioned on its website. It’s also unclear just how many markets the 512GB card will launch in. Of course, you could always opt for 512GB cards from other manufacturers if you need all that storage on your phone right away.
