Themes Thursday: Here are this week’s hottest themes

It’s Thursday, which means that it’s time for another exciting edition of our weekly Themes Thursday segment. This week, nine new themes found their way onto the Store. Unfortunately, they’re not all worth of your attention as the majority are priced too high.

If I had to choose my favourite new theme in today’s column, it would be Purple Saturn. Although it’s priced at $1.99, the skin features a gorgeous set of icons, mused with a unique Material Design-inspired backdrop that’s guaranteed to give your smartphone a new lease of life.

SamMobile Daily Recap: October 12, 2017 — Galaxy C9 Pro, Galaxy Note 8 and more!

Deep Sea Blue Galaxy Note 8 now available in Germany

Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 8 in four colors – Midnight Black, Maple Gold, Deep Sea Blue and Orchid Grey. However, not all options are offered in every market. Customers in Germany were only able to purchase the Galaxy Note 8 in either Midnight Black or Maple Gold initially. Now, the Deep Sea Blue Galaxy Note 8 is also available for purchase in the country.

Deep Sea Blue is a new color option that Samsung introduced with the Galaxy Note 8. It seems like the natural progression of the well-received Coral Blue color that was introduced with the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7 last year. It’s a hit with fans as well. In our poll, 42 percent of the participants said they would choose Deep Sea Blue for their Galaxy Note 8.

Customers in Germany can now head over to Samsung’s online store and purchase the Deep Sea Blue Galaxy Note 8. The color option is available for both single-SIM and dual-SIM models of the handset. It’s priced at 999 euro and will begin shipping to customers on October 26.

Now that this color option is available for purchase in Germany, there’s a good chance that we might see it being offered in other markets across Europe as well. Customers in Europe shouldn’t hold out for the Orchid Grey color. Samsung has already confirmed that it won’t be offered in Europe.

3D sensor-equipped front camera might improve Galaxy S9 facial recognition

Rumors about the Galaxy S9 have now started coming in as it’s going to be the next flagship smartphone from Samsung. The latest suggests that the Galaxy S9 facial recognition functionality will be improved courtesy of a 3D sensor-equipped front camera.

The Galaxy S8 already offers facial recognition as well as iris recognition. The handset also features a fingerprint sensor at the back which many feel isn’t placed in a comfortable position. Looks like Samsung might switch things up a bit next year.

Galaxy S9 Facial Recognition

The latest whispers out of China suggest that the Galaxy S9 is going to feature a 3D sensor-equipped front camera. This will enable the handset to offer more advanced facial recognition functionality. Not only will it be more accurate, it may also offer gains in the safety and speed departments.

Naturally, this shouldn’t be taken as gospel. It’s an unverified rumor out of China. Nothing is set in stone right now as far as the Galaxy S9 is concerned.

The technology is likely going to be similar to the TrueDepth system that Apple has introduced with the iPhone X last month. However, the company’s component suppliers are struggling with yield issues which will impact the iPhone X’s supply. Samsung will have to work these issues out to ensure that it doesn’t have to deal with this for the Galaxy S9.

Enhanced Galaxy S9 facial recognition will certainly be well received. However, this possibly leaves the iris and fingerprint sensor’s future in jeopardy. If Samsung can improve facial recognition to a point where it feels comfortable ditching the fingerprint or iris scanner, the question is, should it?

Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Daily Deal: Bag yourself a pair of Active InEar headphones for 57% off

Amazon has slashed the price of Samsung’s InEar headphones by 57%, so you can currently pick up a pair for just $12.91. For those unaware, these are the same earphones that ship in the box of the firm’s smartphones, with the Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8 being the only exceptions.

If you want to take advantage of this particular promotion, hit the Buy Now button below. We’d advise you to hurry, though. Like most of the deals we highlight, including Samsung’s own, Amazon only has a limited amount of inventory available and it’s safe to say it won’t be around for too long.

Samsung launches Galaxy J2 2017 in India, cuts Galaxy C9 Pro price again

Samsung has quietly launched a low-end handset in India today. The Galaxy J2 2017 Edition is now official. There aren’t a lot of differences between this and the Galaxy J2 as far as specs go, the new handset likely has an improved interface since the specs are more or less the same.

The company has also decided to cut the Galaxy C9 Pro price in India once again. It first slashed the price of this handset back in June this year.

Galaxy J2 2017 In India

Galaxy J2 2017 in India

Samsung has launched the Galaxy J2 2017 in India today. The handset has a 4.7-inch 720p AMOLED display with a quad-core processor. It also features 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. There’s a microSD card slot, a 5-megapixel rear and 2-megapixel front camera. Additional features include dual-SIM support, 4G, Ultra Data Saving Mode and a 2,000mAh battery.

It’s a low-end handset so it’s going to be cheap. According to reports, the Galaxy J2 2017 price in India will be Rs. 7,390 or $113. It will soon be available from retailers in the country in black and gold colors.

Galaxy C9 Pro Price Cut

When the Galaxy C9 Pro was first launched, it was priced at Rs. 36,900 or $567. Samsung cut the handset’s price in June and brought it down to Rs. 31,900 or $490. The Galaxy C9 Pro price has been revised down once again to Rs. 29,900 or $460.

Samsung’s official website hasn’t been updated with the new price as yet but Amazon India has it for Rs. 29,900 now. Not bad for a handset with a 6-inch Full HD display, Snapdragon 653 processor and 6GB RAM.
