  • Exclusive : Samsung S6 and S6 Edge Arrive in India on 10th April; Pricing Revealed

    Exclusive : Samsung S6 and S6 Edge Arrive in India on 10th April; Pricing Revealed

    Samsung officially unwrapped its latest flagships, the S6 and S6 Edge, yesterday in Barcelona. Now sources close to iGyaan suggest that the two new entrants will go on sale in India on 10th April.

    The normal Galaxy S6 boasts a slightly larger screen size, than its predecessor, with a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED QuadHD display with a pixel density of 577ppi. Powering the new Galaxy S6 will be an Exynos Octa-Core chipset clocked at 2.1 Ghz which is bundled with a 3GB LPDDR4.

    Meanwhile, in terms of optics, it retains the same 16MP count just like its predecessor, though it gets OIS which was missing in the previous iteration. In addition, it also gets a 5MP front facing camera.

    On the memory front, the Galaxy S6 will be available in three variant, 32, 64 and 128 GB variants. All based on UFS 2.0 (Universal Flash Storage). And yes, just like the iPhone – the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge will not have micro SD expandability.

    Connectivity on the new flagship has been given a slight upgrade, it gets LTE Cat 6 compatibility, while other connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, while globally unlocked variants will work on TDD and FDD LTE bands. So networks should not be a problem for Samsung this time around. It also gets a fingerprint scanner while juicing up the smartphone would be 2550mAh battery.

    Coming to its curved counterpart, all specs and features are the same except it gets a slightly beefier battery unit at 2600mAh along with an Exynos Octa core chipset clocked at 2.5GHz. Meanwhile, the edge is mostly for aesthetic appeal. At the event, the company announced that it took up to 800-degree to bend the Gorilla Glass 4 display.

    Samsung has included quick charging and wireless charging capabilities in the new S6 and the S6 Edge. The company claims that a 10 minute charge will result in 4 hours of usage.

    The latest flagship, or should we say flagships from Samsung go on sale in India starting April 10th meanwhile pricing is expected to be around Rs. 52,999 for the S6, while its curved counterpart will likely get a price tag of Rs.61,999.

    Do check out our Hands-On with the new Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge in the video below:

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Launched, Snapdragon 855 and Super AMOLED Display In Tow

    Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Launched, Snapdragon 855 and Super AMOLED Display In Tow

    After much anticipation and numerous leaks, Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy Tab S6 in the US. Unlike what the chronology suggests, it is a true successor to the Galaxy Tab S4 which was launched in the year 2018. Even though Samsung had also launched the Galaxy Tab S5e earlier this year, it cannot be deemed the predecessor to the Tab S6, as the former is a mid-range device, whereas the latter packs flagship-grade specifications. 

    Moving ahead, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is a significant upgrade over its predecessor both in terms of build materials and features. It is shipped with an all new S Pen and the company has also introduced a new detachable two-piece keyboard (sold separately) that has a trackpad built-in which provides for a laptop-like experience.

    It is aimed towards people who consume a lot of digital media, play mobile games and are looking for a device that can handle productivity apps like Office Suite and email with ease. 

    Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Design and Features

    To begin with, the Galaxy Tab S6 draws a lot of inspiration from the iPad Pro as it features slim bezels on all sides of the display and it also has an aluminium back which is unlike its predecessor that has a glass back. Nonetheless, it is a tried and tested design that is both functional and looks pleasing to the eye. 

    On the front of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 sits a 10.5 inch Super AMOLED display that has a pixel density of 2560 x 1600 px. Besides, the display also features an in-display fingerprint sensor. However, unlike the Galaxy S10 lineup, the tablet has an optical fingerprint sensor and not an ultrasonic sensor. 

    As previously mentioned, the rear of the Galaxy Tab S6 has an aluminium back which houses a dual-camera setup, company branding, AKG logo and an indentation that holds the S-Pen firmly with the help of magnets. While in a resting position, the built-in battery of the S-Pen gets topped up and stays ready for use. 

    Under the hood, it features the Snapdragon 855 SoC which features an Octa-Core chipset and the Adreno 640 GPU. To provide the best of battery backup and performance, the eight cores are device into three separate clusters which are listed below:

    • 1x 2.8 GHz Kryo 485
    • 3x 2.4 GHz Kryo 485
    • 4x 1.7 GHz Kryo 485

    For photography, the Galaxy Tab S6 features a dual rear camera setup which consists of a 13 MP + 5 MP camera. In addition, it also has an 8 MP front-facing selfie camera which is placed in the bezel above the display. Noteworthy, it can also record 4K video at 30fps from the rear camera. While the details about video capturing capability from the front camera are currently unavailable. 

    The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 is powered by a 7,040 mAh battery which is a slight downgrade from the powerhouse found on the Galaxy Tab S4 that had a 7,300 mAh battery. Samsung claims a battery backup of upto 15 hours which will depend upon the kind of usage.

    Other notable features of the Samsung tablet include side-firing quad speakers that support Dolby Atmos which provides for an immersive audio experience. The device also has dual microphones for making video calls or recording audio.

    Talking more about the two-piece cover of the Galaxy Tab S6, the rear piece snugly fits on the back which also has a kickstand that can be adjusted to the angle of user’s choice. The keyboard also gets a couple of new additions and it now includes the previously mentioned multi-touch trackpad and dedicated function key to launch different applications or toggling DeX Mode.

    Speaking of DeX mode, it offers what it is actually the acronym for, “Desktop Experience”. With the help of built-in USB C port, the screen can be mirrored to an external display or the device itself that mimics a conventional notebook computer experience with a mouse pointer.

    To further enhance the Gaming prowess on the Galaxy Tab S6, Samsung has equipped the OS with Game Booster which as the name suggests provides the best possible gaming experience. The feature functions by minimising background process and smartly allocating the available resources to run the game. Also, this mode can be used to block any incoming calls while playing a game. Unfortunately, Samsung has done away with the 3.5 mm audio jack on the tablet and users either need to rely on a pair of Bluetooth headphones or use a USB C to 3.5 mm adapter. 

    Last but not least, the S Pen on the Galaxy Tab S6, except for taking notes can also be used to controlling the camera shutter. Also, it now supports air gestures which allow the user to toggle different applications by drawing gestures in the air, like drawing “O” to turn on the camera or swiping sideways with the button pressed to switch applications.

    Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Price, Storage and Colour Variants

    The Samsung Tab S6 is offered in three colour options which include Mountain Grey, Cloud Blue and Rose Blush. In terms of memory and storage, it is available in two variants for which the price is as follows:

    • 6 GB + 128 GB: US $ 649 (around Rs 44,700)
    • 8 GB + 256 GB: US $ 729 (around Rs 50,200)

    Besides, it also supports memory expansion upto 1 TB via a microSD card. The keyboard accessory costs US $ 179 (around Rs 12,300).

    To sum it up, the latest offering from Samsung is packed with top tier specs along with a sturdy build and is a praiseworthy tablet, overall. Also it can single-handedly carry the Android tablet bandwagon against the greatest from Apple.

    The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 will be a flagship tablet offering from the company this year. It will be a successor to the Galaxy Tab S4 launched last year and is expected to feature top tier specifications. Leaked images of the tablet reveal the device will have a large display with thin bezels on all sides. Because of the poor quality of the images, other details about the front are not properly visible. However, the tablet is shown to be in its boot screen which reveals its name and that it will be secured by the company’s Knox software. 

    Over at the back, the Galaxy Tab S6 from Samsung has been revealed to sport a metal back with a ridge to store the S-Pen. The housing is expected to be magnetic to secure the accessory in place. In a surprising move, the device will have dual rear cameras, which are unheard of in the segment. While details about these cameras are not known yet, tablets are not generally known for their optical quality, so it may be nothing to be too excited about.

  • Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ To Get Android 7 Nougat Update

    Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ To Get Android 7 Nougat Update

    Samsung recently launched the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9+ in India. The smartphones resemble the Galaxy S8‘s design with a new camera setup with variable aperture. After launching its flagship series, the company is updating its older portfolio with the newer version of Android OS. Samsung follows the two-letter OS upgrade for its flagship smartphones. The Galaxy S8 was released with Android Nougat and the device has received an update for Android Oreo.

    According to an official document found on Samsung’s website, the company is planning to upgrade at least 6 devices, which have completed the two year’s OS cycle. However, unlike the S8 or the S7, these devices will not receive the latest Oreo update. Instead, these OS builds will be based on an older Android version with security patch and bug fixes. Though these devices are listed to receive the software update, no time frame is mentioned.

    According to the document, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge will receive Android 7 Nougat update G9250ZCU2ERB2. The update weights at 1233.30MB, which upgrades the smartphone from Android Marshmallow to Android Nougat. However, the Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5 are expected to receive the incremental software update. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Note 8 will receive Android 8 Oreo update with Samsung Experience UI 9.0. In fact, the update for the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy Note 8 is already live in most of the countries.

    Samsung Galaxy S6 And Other 2015 Flagships To Get Android 8 Oreo Update

    In a debate of Android vs iOS, Android loses out when it comes to software support. The argument holds true that slightly older Android phones do not get the kind of software support older iPhones get. Samsung appears to be changing that with its line of flagship smartphones. A day after it started rolling out Android 8 Oreo update for the Galaxy S8 and S8+, it appears that even its 2015 flagship devices will get Android 8 Oreo update.

    Now, when the smartphones will get this update is anyone’s guess as of now. The Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+, and Galaxy Note5 will be the 2015 devices that will get the Android Oreo update. Manufacturer Development pages for these devices on T-Mobile’s official website say the carrier “and the device manufacturer have agreed to support a new software update.” This new software update will be Android 8 Oreo!

    It looks like a lot of Samsung smartphones will receive Android 8 Oreo update this year. Recently, a few users in Vietnam received the Oreo update even though there were no prior beta programs or an announcement of any sorts. That looks like an error but, it does prove that the smartphone will eventually get Android 8 Oreo update.

    A few weeks ago, a Samsung customer rep accidentally let slip that the Galaxy S6 will get Android 8 Oreo update in January or February. If true, the software update should not be far away.

  • Samsung S7 Edge vs S6 Edge : What’s Changed

    Samsung S7 Edge vs S6 Edge : What’s Changed

    The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is here, and it’s come to the party with a high-end smartphone featuring great design, premium materials and impressive under-the-hood specs. Samsung with the S7 edge has done well to listen to its user base and improve on the flaws of the last year’s S6 edge. Today we put these two up against each other, and do a quick comparison to show how much really has changed in this new handset.

    Display and Design

    GalaxyS7_HandsOn_Main_2

    The S7 edge has a bigger 5.5-inch form factor and comes with a QHD Super AMOLED display with a pixel density of 534 ppi compared to the 5.1-inch QHD 577 ppi screen that we saw on the S6 edge. The display though not an upgrade in terms of resolution does come as a welcome upgrade when it comes to size. To Samsung’s credit, it has managed to cut down on the screen-to-body ratio and bring a bigger display to the S7 edge without adding significantly to the phone’s dimensions.

    To Samsung’s credit, it has managed to cut down on the screen-to-body ratio and bring a bigger display to the S7 edge without adding significantly to the phone’s dimensions. The phone’s display also comes with an intelligent “Always-On” feature which figures out when the phone’s display is not face down on a surface or kept in a pocket and stays lit up to show important notifications and time.

    25174521745_ab62afa3f2_k

    The phone also comes with more rounded edges which combined with the rounded edges at the back provides for a far better grip to the user. Samsung claims it has “made the camera nearly level in the S7 edge which carries forward the premium glass and metal design scheme of the S6 edge while incorporating IP68 waterproofing, and dust resistance, capabilities which provides safety up to 30 minutes while submerged under 1.5 metres of water to this latest iteration by sealing the metal chassis of the phone from the inside.

    Under-the-hood Specifications

    The S7 edge is available in two versions with two different processors. The first will see a 64-bit octa-core (2.3GHz Quad + 1.6GHz Quad) processor, the other will come with a 64-bit quad-core (2.15GHz Dual + 1.6GHz Dual) processor. The device that makes it to India is expected to carry the Octa-Core Exynos 8890 SoC. This will be an upgrade over last year’s 1.5 Ghz Exynos 7420 Octa-core SoC present on the S6 edge.

    25148180546_96f631d370_k

    The S7 edge also gets one up over the S6 edge when it comes to RAM on board. The S7 edge comes equipped with 4GB of RAM while, the S6 edge came only with 3GB on board. In terms of inbuilt memory, the S7 edge comes in only 32GB and 64GB options as compared to the S6 edge which had a 128GB variant too in its arsenal, but what makes the S7 edge a clear upgrade over the S6 edge is the fact that the former houses a microSD card slot for memory expansion.

    Camera

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEblmHmKz3c

    Samsung pulling out of the Megapixel race has decided to jump into the fray with a ‘Dual-Pixel’ 12-megapixel camera at the back, and a 5-Megapixel front camera both with F1.7 aperture. Galaxy S6 edge on the other hand, came with a 16-megapixel rear camera with OIS and a 5-Megapixel front camera.

    Samsung claims this is the most advanced camera to date that it has used on its phones and that the pixels in its camera are around 30 percent bigger than the competing phones such as the iPhone 6s Plus and thus allow for sharper, clearer pictures, even in low-light surroundings.

    The company claims that the dual-pixel technology which it has incorporated works like a human eye and results into 100 percent of the pixels being used to focus allowing for a faster focus while taking a picture.

    Battery & Gaming

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnzQP8MJTCk

    Samsung S6 edge was notorious for it’s short battery life, and Samsung has looked to correct this basic flaw with a significantly bumped up battery pack in the S7 edge. The new phone features a 3600mAh battery pack, which is a cool 1000mAh over its predecessor.

    The S7 edge also comes with new Air-Cooling tech to help keep the temperature of the phone down, and also adds to the mix wireless and fast charging capabilities. One thing that Samsung did miss out on was the widely expected USB Type-C port.

    The mobile phone gaming market is emerging as an important space and Samsung is making a very strong push for it with the S7 edge. The S7 edge will be the first device to use the Vulkan API which Samsung claims will provide users the ability to experience PC-quality gaming on the S7 series devices with lower battery consumption. The company has also added a new ‘Game Launcher,’ to enable users to better manage battery consumption, and block notifications for immersive gaming sessions.

    Samsung Galaxy S7 to Have the Same Design as Galaxy S6

    Right ahead of the Mobile World Congress which kicks off, we have some more updates on the design of the Galaxy S7. If Evan Blass (@evleaks), who has been a reliable source for news in the past, is to be believed, the design of the Samsung flagship would be very similar to its predecessor, the S6.Galaxy S6 Edge + plus iGyaan 29

    He also confirmed that a microSD card slot for storage expansion would also be part of S7. The device will have an IP67 rating which makes it dust and water-resistant.

    As it had been reported for some time now, the S7 would come in two variants, the S7 Edge, and the flat screen S7. The curved screen Edge is expected to sport a Snapdragon processor with a 5.1-inch QHD screen along with 4 GB of RAM. The other model, the Galaxy S7 will come equipped with a Exynos processor. The devices are expected to be unveiled next month at the Samsung Unpacked event on the 21st of February. Watch this space for latest developments.

    Samsung May Release a Dual-SIM Variant For the Note 5 and S6 Edge+

    We have covered Samsung’s newly released handsets – the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge+. Both devices created a frenzy before its release, however some users might have been disappointed when they found out that neither of the products came with a dual-SIM nor an expandable storage. Worry no more because according to reports, both these handsets will soon be available with a dual-SIM mode. But, there are no reports of the devices to include an expandable microSD slot yet. All other specifications will be the same.

    Galaxy S6 Edge + plus iGyaan 28

    The Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ Dual SIM is reportedly available for purchase on eBay, from a seller in Singapore. The seller also claims to have all four colour options in his stock and has priced the device at $999.99 (approx. Rs.65,469). The device will be shipped to the purchaser via FedEx, say reports.

    There have been no official reports as to which markets will be getting the dual-SIM models however, going by the previous sales production techniques of Samsung, we can probably expect the dual-SIM versions to become available almost everywhere, soon.

  • Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ Hands On Impressions

    Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ Hands On Impressions

    The Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ is the company’s first big S series phone, as an add-on to the Galaxy S line of devices. Last year the company thought it better to launch an edgier Note in the form of a Note Edge. However, this year Samsung found it more favourable to make a bigger S6 edge.

    The Galaxy S6 edge+ also marks a new chapter, one where the line between a smartphone and a phablet is basically blurring out. Samsung has slowly killed the category it created with the Note in 2010. Large screen phones are now mainstream and Samsung is basically reinforcing that with the S6 edge+.

    The Galaxy S6 edge+ is designed to one up the iPhone 6 Plus in terms of specifications and hardware. The Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge both had huge success in the global markets and Samsung expects no less from the Galaxy S6 edge+.

    Galaxy S6 Edge + plus iGyaan 18

    The elder and bigger sibling is identical to the Galaxy S6 Edge, so identical that you won’t be able to tell them apart unless you put them together. There is a massive screen size different however a minor change in actual dimensions. The S6 edge+ just like the S6 Edge is flanked on both sides with edge displays.

    The Galaxy S6 edge+ does become slightly more difficult to handle, and hence Samsung has added one handed operation and screen size reduction, similar to Apple’s double tap to pull down screen on the iPhone 6 Plus. This feature was also seen on the recent Galaxy A8 from Samsung.

    Galaxy S6 Edge + plus iGyaan 20

    The Galaxy S6 edge+ is actually slimmer at just 6.9mm vs the 7 mm of the Galaxy S6 and the feel in the hand is very premium. Samsung has really done a good job with the design of the S6 Edge and hence they, didn’t change anything, but make the phone bigger with the S6 edge+.

    Everything from the display resolution to chipset and cameras are identical to the Galaxy S6 Edge, however thanks to the new large display of the S6 edge+ the pixel density drops to 515 ppi vs the mammoth 577 ppi on the S6 Edge. The Edge Plus variant also sports a larger 3,000 mAh battery to combat the drain from the larger QHD Super AMOLED display. An additional 1 GB of LPDD4 RAM, takes it upto 4 GB on the edge+ however the phone is missing the 128GB storage option as only the 32 and 64 GB variants will go on sale.

    The software department on the edge+ too remains same as the S6 and the S6 Edge, with a cleaner and simplified UI and new apps window to the edge display Samsung is trying to leverage the screen real-estate. You will also still get a Flipboard news feed to the left of the home screen and gestures like flipping a ringing phone to mute the call. Double clicking the home button will quickly launch the camera.

    You still get the fingerprint scanner and ability to remember internet passwords and Samsung Account details using your fingerprint as a security mechanism.

    Samsung Announces Price Cut Rates For the S6, S6 Edge in Europe

    We had earlier reported that the Samsung S6 and S6 Edge would be announcing a huge price cut, due to the fall in their sales during the last quarter. Today, the exact amount of this price drop has been announced in Netherlands, Europe.

    The Galaxy S6 (32GB) had originally been priced at 699 Euros (approx Rs.49,250), but will now be priced at 599 Euros (approx. Rs.42,199), which is 100 euros less.

    The Galaxy S6 (64GB) will be for 699 euros (approx. Rs.49,250) and the S6 Edge will be 799 euros (approx. Rs.56,300). It is also rumoured that the Galaxy S6 edge + Phablet (32GB), will start at 799 euros, bringing it at par with the S6 Edge smartphone.

    Despite the price cuts, the S6 and S6 Edge are still within the range of a high-end phone, however these discounts are expected to increase sales in the future.

    It is to be noted that these price cuts are applicable only to the Netherlands, and might differ in other countries, including those, within the Euro zone.
