SamMobile Daily Recap: March 22, 2017 — Galaxy S8, Samsung Pay and more!

We publish a lot of stories on a daily basis. Unfortunately, the majority of news breaks during our European hours of operation, which makes it difficult for our readers in the US (and other regions) to keep up. However, we think we’ve come up with a fantastic solution — a daily recap.

In the list below, you’ll find the stories that went live today. We understand that you’re not going to be interested in all of them, so to help you find what’s important to you, we’ve split them into their respective categories. If you want to see the latest Galaxy S8 news, for example, locate the Phones subheading.

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ Nougat update now available for download

We started receiving reports yesterday that the Galaxy S6 edge+ was receiving Android 7.0 Nougat in Turkey. It appeared that Samsung Turkey’s Nougat release roadmap was right once again. The company sent out firmware G928CXXU3CQC7 to Galaxy S6 edge+ owners in Turkey which is the same firmware that it also released for the Galaxy Note 5 last week.

Just because Samsung has started rolling out this update in one market doesn’t mean it’s immediately going to become available everywhere else. It will take a considerable amount of time before Android 7.0 Nougat for the Galaxy S6 edge+ goes live in all markets.

We now have the Galaxy S6 edge+ Nougat update available in our firmware section, you can head over there and download the file now if you have the relevant model. We will continue to update the list as the firmware goes live in additional regions across the globe.

Reports have been limited so far which is why it was previously mentioned that it’s going to take some time before Nougat is out for all Galaxy S6 edge+ users.

Orchid Gray Galaxy S8 live pictures leaked

Earlier today we saw a leaked press render of the Galaxy S8 which showed off the three colors that this handset will be sold in across the globe. Orchid Gray happens to be one of those colors. We had only seen this color properly in renders before but now live pictures of the Orchid Gray Galaxy S8 have now been leaked online.

As we’ve already pointed out, Samsung has made the sound decision of going with a black front for all color options so the handset will look the same from the front no matter what color you pick. It’s only the frame and the back that will express your color preference.

It’s no secret that Samsung has retained the same metal and glass build that it introduced with the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge which is why it is not at all surprising to see that the upcoming flagship is going to be a fingerprint magnet as well.

Expect more similar leaks to come up in the days leading up to the Galaxy S8′s official launch on March 29.

Daily Deal: Take 48% off Samsung’s Dual-Port Car Fast Charger

For a limited time only, you can bag yourself Samsung’s Dual-Port Car Fast Charger for just $19.99 (48% 0ff). Without a doubt, the best thing about this charger is that it has Adaptive Fast Charging technology, capable of charging a compatible smartphone from 0 to 50% in less than 30-minutes.

If you like the sound of the 3Dual-Port Car Fast Charger and want to take advantage of this promotion, hit the Buy Now button below. We advise you to hurry, though, as Amazon only has a limited amount of inventory available for this specific deal, and as it’s available worldwide, it’ll probably sell out fast.

Latest leaked Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus press render reveals all three colors

Evan Blass of @evleaks fame recently leaked a render of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus which reiterated that the flagship will be offered in three colors. However, the back wasn’t visible in that render so we couldn’t really get a sense of how the handset looked in different colors. Just yesterday, Blass tweeted out another render which showcased both the front and rear design of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus in Orchid Gray and Black Sky colors.

He has now tweeted a new leaked press render which reveals all three colors of Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphone. In the image posted below, you can see the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus from top to bottom in Black Sky, Orchid Gray and Arctic Silver colors.

Samsung has used black on the front of every Galaxy S8 color option to make the handset look even better. Black works for the front as it does a good job of hiding the sensors on the front. We wrote a detailed piece about this, discussing the merits of going with an all-black front for the new flagship.

It’s possible that Samsung might offer some other color options in select markets down the line but from the looks of it, these three will be the ones that are made widely available once the handset is released next month.

Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus battery capacity leaves much to be desired

It was first reported several weeks ago that the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus might have a 3,000mAh and 3,500mAh battery respectively. We’ve previously seen a leaked image of what was claimed to be a Galaxy S8 Plus battery cell which was of the reported 3,500mAh capacity. A couple of images have been leaked online today likely confirming the concerning possibility that these are the battery capacities that Samsung is sticking with.

The battery packs that we see in these images are said to be for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus. The marking show that they are of 3,000mAh and 3,500mAh capacity respectively. The markings also reveal that the cell has been made in Korea and the battery itself has been assembled in Vietnam by Samsung SDI.

Many have expressed concerns that the battery capacity simply may not be enough for these devices so either Samsung has made impressive gains elsewhere to reduce battery consumption or we’re about to see a repeat of the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge. Samsung will officially confirm these details about the Galaxy S8 on March 29.
