I don’t foresee any of you guys buying a gold plated Galaxy S7 or S7 edge, but if you had the money to purchase one, would you do it? Though the S7 edge has kept the same Quad HD resolution, its curved screen real estate has expanded from 5.1 to 5.5 inches.

Emmanouil Revmatas, Director of Information Technology and Mobile, Samsung, said that Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge represent the new galaxy of unlimited possibilities. Rumors floating around the Internet suggests the upcoming rumored Galaxy Note 6 by Samsung flaunts whopping 256GB storage alongside 6GB RAM and Force Touch. The biggest problem is Samsung has lowered its camera megapixels. On the photography front, the smartphone also features a 16-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel selfie camera. The Galaxy and the iPhone use only the original battery, it is not removable or replaceable. The QHD resolution is still ultra-detailed and the deep blacks really make movies and photos pop, but the new always-on mode really makes the most of the energy-friendly display tech.

Samsung is restoring the ability to add storage, but the battery won’t be replaceable by users, something Samsung had allowed before previous year.

Samsung has announced that the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update is available for Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge smartphones. “They are sleeker with smoother edges and lines”.

The devices also feature a “Dual Pixel” rear camera with large F1.7 aperture with Smart OIS feature.

But with FaceBook and YouTube now supporting 360 video, and cameras such as the Gear 360 being launched, it is much easier for anyone to generate and share VR content, and this may be what VR truly needs to take off. LG’s version still uses the smartphone to process the images, but instead of displaying them on the phone screen, images get sent to separate, lighter displays in the headset’s eyepieces.

Typically, Galaxy Note devices are released during the third quarter of a calendar year, and this trend is expected to be repeated with the Galaxy Note 6.

At $800, the Vive is more expensive than the $600 Oculus Rift – a price many already think is too expensive, especially once you factor in the cost of a computer to run these devices.
