Get a sneak peek at exclusive Jurassic World content on Samsung SUHD TVs at Best Buy

The latest addition to the hugely popular Jurassic franchise will hit theaters in the very near future but fans are certainly finding it hard to contain their excitement since they have had to wait for a very long time for the new movie. One can watch the trailers only so many times before the craving to see more comes up again, fortunately Samsung has got Jurassic fans covered. It has teamed up with Universal Pictures to provide fans with a “big reveal” on its latest SUHD TVs that are on display at more than 500 Best Buy stores across the United States.

An exclusive clip from the Jurassic World clip will be shown to fans at more than 500 Best Buy stores in the US on Samsung’s SUHD TVs. The clip can only be seen at Samsung Entertainment Experiences at Best Buy stores. Obviously the clip won’t divulge much about the film’s plot or storyline, but it’s a good tactic on Samsung’s part to get more eyeballs trained at its SUHD TVs which were only unveiled at CES earlier this year. As for the film itself, Jurassic World will be released on June 12.

Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE gets Lollipop on Verizon

It has only been a couple of weeks since Verizon released the Android 5.0.2 update for the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and now it’s following through with Lollipop for the Galaxy Tab S 8.4. Samsung has confirmed that Verizon is releasing said update for the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 today, users in the United States should start getting update notifications on their tablets shortly.

Software version T707VVRU1BOD4 being rolled out by Verizon today brings the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE on its network up to Android 5.0.2. The update brings with it all of the features and improvements that we have come to expect from Lollipop, including but not limited to the new notifications experience, Material Design UI, performance improvements and much more. The file size is going to be around 1GB since this is a major update after all, so users will certainly require some patience when they’re downloading it particularly on a slow internet connection. It shouldn’t take more than a few hours for Verizon to be done with the Lollipop roll out for the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE.

Samsung official says the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are selling well

Is Samsung’s business really imploding? If we go by the sales of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, then that might not be the case. An unnamed Samsung executive has told The Korea Times that the two Galaxy S6 flagships are selling well and that the sales are meeting the company’s internal target. According to the official, 305,000 units of both devices are being sold every day since they went up for sale, more than 124,000 and 241,000 units of the Galaxy S5 and S4 respectively.

Samsung is yet to officially reveal how much the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge units it has sold, but is expected to do so next month. A report last month had said that shipments of the Galaxy S6 lineup had reached 10 million units, but didn’t offer concrete information on exactly when that shipment figure had been reached. Samsung has always been pretty quick at announcing when its flagships reach a particular sales milestone, but its silence on the matter regarding the S6 and S6 edge suggest things might not be going that fast, though that could possibly be because the company is selling two different flagship smartphones at the same time and wants to individually confirm sales figures for each.

“Okay, Google” command is back and working on the Galaxy S6 and the S6 edge

Did you try to activate the “Okay, Google” command on your Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge, but never found a way to do it? Well, Google accepted that there was indeed a problem, but they have now verified that the hotword is working again.

The hotword detection was broken for weeks, and the option to activate it was totally missing from the settings. Some users believed that it was an intentional omission by Samsung, but it isn’t completely true. It turns out that it was just an old bug, or what you can see as a conflict between Google app and S Voice. A Google representative mentioned on the company’s forum that the bug has been fixed. In order to get the feature working, users need to have the latest version of Google app (v4.6) installed on their devices.

If you still can’t get it working, you might need to clear the cache, or even clear the data. If you activate the option to enable “Okay, Google” from any screen, S Voice will be disabled, except for the times when the screen is off. Many users that I know have disabled the S Voice altogether as they prefer Google Now over Samsung’s solution. Do let us know if the hotword detection is working on your Galaxy S6 or S6 edge.

Galaxy S5 Android 5.0.2 update will arrive later this month

A few weeks back it was reported that Samsung will release micro-updates for some of its devices that faced various issues following the update to Lollipop. Information made public on the website of Optus, the Australian carrier, reveals that the Galaxy S5 is going to receive one of those micro-updates later this month. Android 5.0.2 has now entered testing with Optus.

It’s going to be a minor update for the Galaxy S5 (SM-G900) and will probably only include bug fixes and performance improvements. The update is meant to fix some of the issues that users have faced after jumping on the initial Lollipop update. So far Samsung has not provided a confirmed release date for Android 5.0.2 for the Galaxy S5 in other markets across the globe, Optus says that it will roll out the update in “early June.”

Samsung successfully demonstrates world’s first Public Safety LTE network

Today, Samsung successfully demonstrated world’s first Public Safety solution over LTE technology that is based on the newly released 3GPP Rel.12 standard.

The technology was demonstrated live at the company’s Digital City in Suwon, South Korea. The company showcased how its PS-LTE solution could be used for connectivity during an emergency situations such as a huge disaster. More than 80 devices were connected to the network, and HD voice was transmitted between them simultaneously during the demonstration. If in case such a disastrous situation arrives, HD voice, multimedia Push-To-Talk (PTT) as well as video conference services could be provided to relevant parties such as rescue teams.

“The live demonstration of our PS-LTE solution is a significant achievement,” said Youngky Kim, President and Head of Networks Business at Samsung Electronics. “It takes us one step closer to successfully participating and building the world’s first nationwide Public Safety network with LTE Technology, and we are confident in accomplishing this thanks to our leading product portfolio and constant innovation.”

Even though the new standard was completed and released less than three months ago, Samsung managed to demonstrate complete end-to-end services over it, complete with a newly developed base station, LTE core, IMS core, application server, and compatible devices.

Samsung aims to achieve even more with the Release 13 specification by providing new features such as Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT), Isolated E-UTRAN Operation for Public Safety (IOPS), and enhanced device-to-device (eD2D) standardization.

Samsung SM-G9198 (Philipe) might actually be a flip phone for Chinese market

The Samsung SM-G9198 that leaked last was suspected to be the Galaxy S6 Mini, but looks like it might a different device altogether.

If you remember (well, we don’t actually hope that many would), Samsung released the SM-G9098 – a clamshell Android smartphone with dual displays – in China last year. It is completely possible that the recently leaked SM-G9198 might be a successor to that clamshell smartphone.

If it this speculation turns out to be true, the device might only be launched in China, and will feature dual displays. Other hardware specifications include a 4.6-inch HD display, a Snapdragon 808 processor with Adreno 418 GPU, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, a 16-megapixel primary camera, and a 5-megapixel secondary camera. The device was leaked running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.

If the device is not the Galaxy S6 Mini, as speculated by many, hopes of someone who wants a powerful mini smartphone from Samsung would be destroyed.
