Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are the upcoming flagships from Samsung. Till now many exciting features of the upcoming flagships from Samsung have been revealed. But just a new feature has came into light. According to Sammobile, The South Korean tech giant is planning to introduce an e-sim card feature in Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge flagships. This is a really advance movement of Samsung. E-sim card means embedded sim card. With this feature, users won't have to change sim cards when they changed carriers.
For example, when a user in the US swathed from T-Mobile to AT&T, he/she have to pay $9.99 and request new sim card from the carrier to activate the new phone. With e-sim card feature, there is no need to change sim cards when switched from one carrier to another. Till now T-Mobile parent Deutsche Telekom, AT&T, Orange, Telefonica, Vodafone, and others have agreed with Samsung to take forward this e-sim card adoption program. The carriers which don't agree with e-sim card program will be left behind. Many details about this exclusive facility will be revealed in coming days.
Galaxy S7 features 5.4 or 5.2 inches Super AMOLED display with 4K resolution. Galaxy S7 Edge is the curved variant of S7 which features dual curvy edged display. The upcoming flagship from Samsung may also feature flexible body that can bend like LG G Flex. Samsung will release Galaxy S7 in both Exynos and Snapdragon variants. It also boasts 4GB and available in 64/128 GB internal memory variants. Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge flagships will be pre-loaded with Android M along with Touchwiz user interface. Many features of the upcoming Galaxy S flagship from Samsung will be revealed soon. According to latest rumours, Samsung is going to launch its forth coming flagship in Galaxy S earlier than usual schedule. So we may see the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge flagship by the end of this year or in the beginning of next year.

Samsung Galaxy S III Neo+ goes official in China

While the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo continues its journey of leaks, the company has launched the Galaxy S III Neo+ in China.
Featuring a similar design to the Galaxy S3, the S3 Neo+ is built around a 4.8" Super AMOLED display, which rocks 720p resolution. The pixel density is 306 ppi, which is very respectable. Under the hood, there's a 1.4GHz quad-core CPU of unknown architecture - we guess it's the dated Exynos 4 Quad 4412 with four Cortex-A9 cores, but it could also be a Snapdragon 400 with Cortex-A7 processor. It's joined by 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory, which is expandable via the microSD card slot that's on board.

Unsurprisingly, the battery cover is removable and reveals the dual SIM card slots (3G + GSM), the aforementioned microSD card slot and the 2100mAh battery. The Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo+ weighs 132 grams and measures 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6mm - exactly the same as the Galaxy S3 (with the negligible difference of 1 gram in weight). At the back, there's an 8MP camera with LED flash capable of recording 1080p video.
The dual-SIM capabilities of the Galaxy S3 Neo+ include dual-standby and there's a neat manager available inside Android 4.3 Jelly Bean that handles the switching between the two. The supported WCDMA networks bands include 850/900/1900/2100 MHz, while on GSM, they're 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
Pricing and availability aren't detailed at this point. We suspect the Galaxy S3 Neo+ will make an appearance in Chinese retail stores as well as major carriers pretty soon.

We have some great news for the Galaxy users in the USA! Samsung has announced the list of devices which will be updated with Android 4.4 KitKat. More than 15 Galaxy smartphones, phablets and tablets will get the KitKat treatment over the upcoming months.

Samsung is developing Android 4.4 KitKat firmware for these smartphones:
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Samsung Galaxy Note II
Samsung Galaxy S4
Samsung Galaxy S4 mini
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom
Samsung Galaxy S III
Samsung Galaxy S III mini
Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3
Samsung Galaxy Light
And here is the list of the KitKat compatible slates:
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1
The Android 4.4 KitKat firmware will speed up your Galaxy device, bring you new Hangout app which you can make the default messaging app, new location menu, other UI enhancements (new icons, monochrome status icons, etc.). We hope the Galaxy tablets will also get the new Magazine UX, which we really liked.
The availability and launch date will vary by carrier, but eventually all those devices will end up with update notifications. The official roll out starts today, probably with the most recent devices, and the entire update process should take a few months to complete.

Samsung Pay

As you know our Samsung Galaxy S6 has payment feature called Samsung Pay, similar to Apple Pay through the use of various NFC technology and receivers.
Perhpas we can discuss anything about SamPay here including country availability, reliability, operations and etc... :highfive:
So far this is what we know ...
"Samsung's Senior Director of Product Management, Shoneel Kolhatkar, said at a GS6 press event last week in New York City that Samsung Pay will not be available for the initial U.S. launch.
"This will not be ready for launch, from a go-to market strategy, but the technology and hooks will be in place, so that it's future proof," Kolhatkar said.
In other words, we don't know when Samsung Pay will be available, so it could be a while before we know all of these nitty-gritty details. "
- CIO
From the Samsung press release back on March 1st:
Samsung Pay will initially be available in the United States and Korea this coming summer and expand to other regions, including Europe and China with Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge.

The one thing im worried about is how the device will handle with NFC having to be on all the time to be readily accessible to use Samsung Pay?
I leave my nfc on all the time. Most phones come with it enabled and on. There is almost no battery affect from. NFC

There's a root method that doesn't trip knox.

Camera comparison

Please post your comparisons here. I was just at my local store and they got the S7 Edge. I compared it with my S6 Edge and was rather disappointed! The Samsung guy in the store said it was something wrong with the unit I tested, but I'm not convinced. Will post larger pictures when I get home.

Here's another:
S6 Edge:
S7 Edge:
This is natural. S6 edge has a 16 Mpix sensor, while S7/S7 Edge have 12Mpix sensor.
In good lighting, at 1:1 maximum zoom level, the 16Mpix sensor on s6 will give you more detail.
However, as light goes down, so does real useful resolution.
At less than optimal lighting, the situation will reverse and S7 will edge out S6 in resolution, dynamic range, noise and colour fidelity.
At which point in global illumination (lux) and which point in camera sensitivity (ISO) this happens, remains to be seen.
My guess is that at ISO 1250 and beyond S7 will prove to be superior (with no flash in use, of course).
Here's another one.
Samsung Norway claims it will be fixed before launch. Let's hope it's true! On this one you can see the S7 Edge did something funky with the colors as well (yellow sticker).
You know I feel that comparing photos while can show a flaw in one camera over the other it is not a good way to evaluate if a newer camera is not as good as the older version. I'm sure the camera for the S7 will just as good as the S6. Samsung proved last year with the S6 how serious they were about cell phone cameras. I just think the S7 edge offers a lot of other great changes over last year's S6.
I agree, the phone itself will be far better in many ways, that's no doubt.
I got an S7 I can do some testing with, how to you suggest I should test them to see a good comparison?
Even if we set aside the fact it's faster, I've no doubt that the camera in the S7 will be superior to the S6 in the vast majority of circumstances. And that is the bottom line for me.
I think we should wait until they are released with a consumer firmware installed. The S6 camera have also been improved a little since release.
