Galaxy S6 edge+ camera put to the test by award-winning photographer, proves spectacular

How good is the Galaxy S6 edge+ camera? It’s so good that an award-winning photographer uses it. How do we know? Just ask Australian-born turned American photographer Peter Lik, who recently put the S6 edge+’s 16MP back camera to the test and produced some amazing photos with it. Lik modeled off his photos of the American Southwest last month in Shanghai for the Galaxy S6 edge+ launch. He has already shown off his American photos, but the next photo exhibit will showcase the panoramic images of nature taken during Lik’s China travels.

Lik is the highest-selling photographer in the world with half a billion dollars worth of sold photography, and his decision to use the Galaxy S6 edge+ shows that award-winning photographers will use no less than the best when it comes to capturing the best scenes of nature and life that the moment provides. Samsung was able to achieve such a feat by implementing f/1.9 camera apertures on both front and back cameras and enlarging the pixels, which brings in more light. Samsung’s Galaxy S6 and S6 edge cameras have been awarded the #1 smartphone photography spot by photography expert company DxOMark, so it seems that the praise from Lik about one of Samsung’s latest smartphones is confirmatory.

Peter Lik is a photographer by profession, but the genius behind Samsung’s Galaxy S6 edge+ is that you need not have Lik’s photography skills to capture awesome scenes that relive the moment. Take a look at his photos at the source link below.

A Galaxy S7 variant appears on benchmark with 3GB RAM

For a device that’s supposed to be more than six months away, the Galaxy S7 – codenamed Project Lucky – has started leaking out rather early. We gave you exclusive details on the next Galaxy S flagship earlier this month, and the S7 was found on the Geekbench benchmark database with a few of its hardware specs listed for all to see. The model we saw on Geekbench back then carried the LTE tag in its codename and was using 4GB of RAM, and now, yet another “project lucky” Samsung device has appeared online, this time with 3GB of RAM and without the LTE tag.

Now, at first glance this might suggest that Samsung will be launching two different models, but at this stage of development, it’s highly likely these are simply different prototypes. Back in 2014 we saw the Galaxy S5 come out with lower amount of RAM than the Galaxy Note 3 that came out before it, but with Samsung’s new found focus on offering the best on all its flagships, there’s very little chance of the company releasing a variant of the S7 with 3GB of RAM.

Again, at such an early stage we can’t really say for sure what Samsung will be doing with its next big thing. As we talked about in our exclusive, the Korean giant could be launching a Galaxy S7 variant with the Snapdragon 820, at least for the US market, and the phone could also feature a new 20-megapixel camera sensor, something called the “all lens cover”, and possibly a microSD slot for storage expansion.

Purported Windows tablet from Samsung heads to India for testing

It was rumored last month that Samsung is working on a new 12-inch tablet, and the interesting thing about it was that it was running Windows. Now, an unannounced tablet from Samsung has surfaced online with model number SM-W700.

The SM-W700 has been spotted on Indian import listing website, and according to the information in the listing, the tablet has a 12-inch display and its price is quoted at INR 30,383 ($457). However, this is unlikely to be its final price considering the screen size and the fact that it supposedly runs Windows 10. Samsung’s Windows tablet is rumored to feature a display with a resolution of Quad HD or higher, a 13 nm Intel Core M chip, and 4GB of RAM, and we should see more details appear in the coming weeks if the SM-W700 is destined to make it to market.

China Telecom starts selling the dual-SIM Galaxy Note 5

Samsung is gradually releasing the Galaxy Note 5 in more markets across the globe but still the handset is not seeing the kind of full-fledged rollout that the Galaxy S6 edge+ has seen. Samsung is going to make customers in a lot of markets wait for the new phablet, particularly those who reside in Europe, but those who live in China can now pick up the Galaxy Note 5 from China Telecom.

It’s one of the biggest mobile carriers in the People’s Republic and it has started selling the Galaxy Note 5 (SM-9200), this model will work nicely in the China region considering the fact that it has support for the homegrown TD-LTE networks. While all of the major specifications remain the same there is one substantial change: this particular model has dual-SIM support, something you won’t find in the models being sold in the United States for example. The handset is available from China Telecom in gold and white colors for RMB 5388 ($850).

Samsung Galaxy Mega On with Snapdragon 412 processor hits the benchmark

We exclusively reported back in August this year that Samsung is working on the Galaxy Mega On and that it’s going to have entry-level specifications with a large display. We have also revealed specifications of this handset which has now done a stint on the Geekbench benchmark, revealing the possibility that it might be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 412 processor. The score shows that this device has the MSM8916 processor which is the Snapdragon 410 however this chip doesn’t support the 1.4GHz clock speed seen in the results which is why there’s a possibility that the Galaxy Mega On might come with the Snapdragon 412 instead.

The Galaxy Mega On also touts a 5.5-inch HD display, 1.5GB RAM, 13-megapixel rear and a 5-megapixel front camera, 8GB storage with support for microSD cards and a 3,000mAh battery. It will measure in at 151.8×77.5×8.2 mm weighing 145 grams. It’s unclear right now when Samsung intends on launching the Galaxy Mega On, it’s going to be part of a new O lineup which also includes the Galaxy Grand On, we’ll share more details as soon as we find out.

Galaxy S7 could tout a dual-camera setup

Over the past week or so there has been a sudden influx of reports and rumors related to the Galaxy S7, and it kind of does make sense because Samsung is done with the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 edge+, the rumor mill can only focus on next year’s flagship handsets now and that’s precisely what it’s doing. It was reported recently that Samsung is the first OEM to conduct intensive testing on the Snapdragon 820 and it’s believed that the company will offer two variants of the Galaxy S7, one with the Qualcomm processor and the other with its own Exynos 8890 chipset. We exclusively confirmed some early details about the Galaxy S7 as well, including the fact that it’s referred to as Project Lucky internally since the number 7 is universally regarded as a lucky number.

A new report out of Korea claims that the Galaxy S7 could come with a dual-camera setup, this isn’t really a new concept because HTC tried to push a dual-camera setup with the HTC One M8 but it didn’t really do wonders for sales of the company’s flagship device. Perhaps Samsung believes that it has cracked the proverbial code and can do a much better implementation of dual-camera technology on the Galaxy S7. It’s also claimed in the report that the Galaxy S7 is going to have a 5.7-inch display, a big bump up from the 5.1-inch display on the existing flagship, the possibility has been reiterated by a previous report as well.

Do bear in mind that it’s still very early days and nothing can be said for sure at this point in time, take all of these rumors and reports with a grain of salt for now because we still have a long way to go before Samsung has to show off its new flagship handsets, which if this report is to be believed might happen a bit earlier than anticipated, around February 2016.
