Samsung’s 5,100 mAh fast charge battery pack for the Galaxy S8 and S8+ is now on sale

We had known for some time that Samsung would be launching a new portable battery pack with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, and that battery pack is now available for sale, at least in the US. The new battery pack has a 5,100 mAh capacity; according to Samsung, it “provides up to 2 full charges from 0-100% on most of the latest smartphones,” which is a standard claim for most portable chargers of a similar size.

The battery pack has a USB Type-C port and a standard USB port (the latter is for charging the pack itself), with a USB Type-C to microUSB converter bundled in the box for devices with the older generation port. There’s support for fast charging on devices that have fast charge support, while regular devices will get a standard 2A output. The battery pack has a strap for easy handling, and Samsung is offering it in silver and navy blue color options.

The battery pack is priced at $59.99 and can be purchased from Samsung’s website or from Amazon.

SamMobile Daily Recap: May 10, 2017 — Galaxy J3 (2017), Galaxy S8, Galaxy Tab S3 and more!

Daily Deal: Pick up a 64GB EVO+ microSD card for 31% off

If you’re running low on storage, you’ll probably be pleased to hear that you can now pick up a 64GB EVO+ microSD card for just $28.95 (31% off). However, we should probably point out that unlike most of our other promotions, this one isn’t available worldwide — so you’ll need to reside in the U.S. to take advantage of it.

Like the sound of 64GB EVO microSD card and want to bag yourself one? Hit the Buy Now button below. We advise you to hurry, though, as Amazon only has a very limited amount of inventory available for this specific deal, and — as we say time and time again — once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Samsung sold 782,000 units of Gear VR in Q1 2017

Samsung’s Gear VR was by far the most popular virtual reality headset in the first quarter of 2017. The South Korean consumer electronics giant sold more virtual reality headsets worldwide than Google, HTC, Oculus, and Sony combined, which is super impressive.

According to SuperData Research, Samsung was able to sell 782,000 units of Gear VR during Q1 2017. Only 375,000 units of Sony’s PlayStation VR were sold during the first quarter. Google was able to sell 170,000 units of its Daydream View VR headset. Around 95,000 units of HTC Vive and 64,000 units of Oculus Rift were sold during the same period.

This doesn’t come as a surprise to us since Samsung jumped into the VR market quite early, and it collaborated with Oculus to make a relatively inexpensive VR headset that works with its hugely popular Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series of smartphones. It has also been able to deliver a decent number of games and content for its headset.

Like GIFs? Download the Animated GIF camera mode on your Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+

Everyone likes GIFs. You’ve probably shared a ton of them with your friends on Facebook and other social channels, and even wondered at times if you could easily make your own GIFs. Well, some of you might already know it, but for those who don’t, Samsung offers a dedicated camera mode so you can record moments directly as GIF files. It’s been available for Samsung devices for some time, and you can also download it on the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+.

The GIF shooting mode doesn’t come installed by default, so you will have to download it in the camera app. Here’s how you can do that.

Step 1: Open the camera app, then swipe right on the screen to access the shooting modes.

Step 2: Hit the + button at the top. You’ll see a list of all downloadable camera modes for the S8 and S8+. Tap the download button next to Animated GIF.

Step 3: Once it’s installed, simply go back to the camera app. To access the GIF mode, go to the mode selection screen.

To capture GIFs, you need to hold down the camera shutter button till you’ve captured what you need. The camera app will count up to a maximum of 20, and that’s where GIF recording stops. You can’t record long GIFs, and the quality isn’t always too great, but it’s still a nice way to capture moments in moving form without using up the space a typical video would take. As with all images and videos, these GIFs can be accessed from the gallery and shared through other apps. Below is a sample so you can see what kind of quality you can expect.

You can also make GIFs from content playing on the phone from apps such as YouTube, by using the Smart Select Edge panel. For more tips and tricks on the Galaxy S8 and S8+, go here.

Samsung’s artistic Frame TV will be on display at La Biennale di Venezia’s 57th International Art Exhibition

At CES 2017, Samsung showed off The Frame, a concept UHD TV capable of effortlessly blending into the background by displaying artwork when it’s not in use, and now it’s been revealed that the device will exhibited in La Biennale di Venezia’ 57th International Art Exhibition titled Viva Arte Viva in Venice, Italy.

“In an era where consumers assess how a product provides value to their lifestyle, it is important to provide more than just functionality,” said Han Seung-hee, Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “At Samsung, we have redefined how a TV can beautify a consumer’s space as part of their home décor objet.”

As noted over on its Newsroom, Samsung has partnered with modern artist Lee Wan for the exhibition. The Frame will be used to display Wan’s Made In film series, which contains footage of his daily routines symbolizing modernizations and cultures of ten different Asian countries, including Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand.

“The Frame is the only product which can deliver the true intentions of artists while maintaining a sleek design,” explained Wan. “Showcasing The Frame at the upcoming La Biennale di Venezia’ art exhibition will propel The Frame as a hotly discussed topic for the world’s leading art museums, galleries and artists.”

Samsung is planning to launch The Frame in the United States later this year.
