Themes Thursday: Here are this week’s twelve best new theme packs

Samsung has released 358 new themes in its Theme Store this week, and we’ve selected twelve of them for you. You can see that a lot of theme developers have started including AOD modes into their new themes, and a bunch of them are Full Color AOD modes.

There are three Material themes from Cameron Bunch in this week’s list, and if you’re someone who likes stock Android UI, do check out those themes. Three themes from the Mixed Grace series by Felipe Leite make it to the list as well, and I must admit, they appear very well designed.

Other new theme packs that we liked for this week’s Themes Thursday include [Pixome] White Room (AOD), [Viva] Rainbow Candy, [ZEM] Pink Room, [Zen] Romantic London, Balloon Flight Adventure (AOD), and EiD – Run (AOD). Which new themes did you like?

Samsung says tricking Galaxy S8′s iris scanner is ‘unrealistic’

Berlin-based Chaos Computer Club recently demonstrated how the Galaxy S8′s iris scanner could be tricked. The method involved using a printed infrared image of the human eye attached to a contact lens. That was all they needed to trick the iris scanner into unlocking the device.

Iris scanner functionality is still rare on smartphones so it’s a pretty big selling point for the Galaxy S8. However, it’s not ideal to know that a feature that’s meant to protect your phone can be tricked with relative ease.

Samsung’s initial response to the matter was meant to assure customers that the iris scanning technology in the Galaxy S8 has been developed through rigorous testing to prevent attempts to compromise its security. It also said that if there was ever a potential vulnerability, it would respond as quickly as possible to fix it.

A spokesperson for the company told The Korea Herald today that fooling the Galaxy S8′s iris sensor is “unrealistic,” adding that it’s hard to see that happening in real life.

“You need a camera that can capture infrared light (used in the video), which is no longer available in the market. Also, you need to take a photo of the owner’s iris and steal his smartphone. It is difficult for the whole scenario to happen in reality,” the spokesperson said.

Dirk Engling, a spokesman for the Chaos Computer Club, says that under some circumstances, a high-resolution picture from the internet would be enough to capture an iris.

“If you value the data on your phone — and possibly want to even use it for payment — using the traditional pin protection is a safer approach than using body features for authentication,” he said.

Daily Deal: Save 15% on a pair of Samsung’s Gear Icon X wireless earphones

Amazon has cut the price of Samsung’s Gear Icon X wireless earphones by 15%, meaning you can currently pick up a pair for just $169.99. What’s great about these earbuds is that they not only bundle rear-time voice feedback for workout progress, but also have 4GB of integrated storage, so you can leave your phone at home and still listen to music.

If you like the sound of the Gear Icon X and want to take advantage of the deal, simply hit the Buy Now button below, and if you’re not entirely sold, be sure to check out our comprehensive review. You’ll probably need to hurry though, as Amazon has only assigned a small amount of inventory for this specific promotion, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

32GB storage variants of Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime and J7 Prime are now available in India

We had reported last month that Samsung is planning to launch 32GB storage variant of the Galaxy J7 Prime in India. Now, Samsung has announced that it has launched the 32GB storage variant of not only the Galaxy J7 Prime but also the Galaxy J5 Prime. Earlier, these smartphones were available in the country with just 16GB internal storage.

The Galaxy J5 Prime with 32GB internal storage is priced at INR 14,900 (approx. $230) and the Galaxy J7 Prime with 32GB internal storage is priced at INR 16,900 (approx. $260) in India. Both smartphones are available in Black and Gold, and can be purchased through Samsung’s official online store. Both dual-SIM smartphones are compatible with LTE networks.

Samsung explains how it optimized the Galaxy S8 for the Chinese market

To coincide with the Galaxy S8′s release in China, Samsung has shared a post on its Newsroom highlighting the different ways it optimized the handset for consumers in the region, which include building a new Calendar application that allows users to simultaneously view the solar and lunar calendar, and introducing the option to purchase additional data in Smart Manager.

The firm also launched two exclusive interactive services — the Samsung Assistant application and Yellow Page, a service accessible via a tab in the Messages and Phone application. Both of the tools were designed specifically to help consumers use their Galaxy S8 to do tasks that are traditionally done offline in China, like making a doctor’s appointment.

Obviously, Samsung has made a slew of changes to the user interface as well. The Chinese variant of the Galaxy S8, for example, displays all of the applications on the home screen by default, though users have the option to use the standard arrangement, which features a vertical swiping interface to navigate between the home screen and app drawer.

Samsung drops plans to sell its home network business

Samsung SDS, the South Korean chaebol’s IT Solutions arm, was in talks with Ireland-based Allegion to sell off its home network business. However, the company has now announced that it has decided not to go forward with its decision, hinting at failed negotiations. Currently, Samsung Group companies Samsung Electronics (22.58 percent) and Samsung C&T (17.08 percent) as well as Lee Jae-yong (9.20 percent) own a majority of shares in the company.

Allegion had showed interest in acquiring Samsung’s home network business thinking about its brand name and sales channel in South Korea’s soaring home security market. The company’s smart door locks business makes up for less than 2 percent (US$143.10 million) of the revenue. Samsung SDS had been trying to sell off less profitable businesses under its umbrella such as logistics and home security amid the ongoing leadership shuffle at Samsung Group.
