If you’re based in the United Kingdom and have been looking to get your hands on a Galaxy S7 edge ever since its launch on Friday, March 11, we have some pretty great news for you. Independent eBay merchant Laptop Outlet Direct has just kicked off a sale on the factory unlocked 32GB variant of the handset. As part of the promotion, you you can pick one up for £570 ($816), which is a reduction of £30 ($43) off the usual retail price of £600 ($860), which certainly isn’t a saving to be sniffed at as you could put that money towards one of Samsung’s official accessories to keep the device protected.

The online edition of Forbes magazine has reported that Samsung Electronics has been voted the third-most reputable company operating in the United States. The online publication revealed yesterday that the South Korean company pulled in a very respectable score of 84.4 points in the list of the “100 Most Reputable Companies” in the US in a consumer survey organized and carried out by consulting company Reputation Institute (RI). Amazon topped the chart for the third year running with 85.4 points, followed by Hallmark Cards with a rating of 85.1 points.

Samsung ranked as the most reputable firm in the technology industry for its efforts in Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR), which, put plainly, is its commitment as a business to behave ethically and contribute to the economic development of the countries it operates in, while simultaneously improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as the local community and society.

Samsung introduces a range of smart trousers

Yes, you read that right, Samsung has introduced a range of smart trousers. The company is calling it the Internet of Trousers Fashion Range, it brings “an exciting collection of pants” with innovative functions. Samsung says these smart wearable devices come in an array of unique and contemporary styles which fit just about any lifestyle.

Samsung’s intelligent trousers combine the latest in high-tech with high fashion. It has embedded ARTIK Smarter Fashion chip modules in the trousers which enable them to communicate with the Smarter Fabric Care app. Salient features of the Internet of Trousers include Wi-Fly, a feature which sends notifications to your smartphone if your fly remains open for more than three minutes. Get Up! alerts use sensors in the trousers to detect prolonged periods of inactivity and send notifications to “get up off of that thing” at least once an hour. Should you require extra motivation after being seated for more than three hours, the back pockets will hit you with mild electrical shocks.

The Samsung Bio-Processor in these trousers keeps an eye on your bio-data include heart rate and perspiration level. When these indicators get too high you’ll get a reminder to keep your cool, Samsung calls it the Keep-Your-Pants-On Mode. The Fridge Lock feature monitors tension around your waist and when it detects that you’re overeating it sends signals to your fridge to lock it automatically after which it can only be unlocked with consent from a designated person like your mother or significant other.

Samsung says that it’s going to open up its Smarter Fashion ecosystem to other companies as well, be it traditional apparel companies or your grandmother knitting your next Christmas sweater, the company’s ARTIK fashion modules will ensure that your clothes are just as technologically advanced as everything else in your life.

 Happy April Fools’!
