Samsung, LG improve smartphone cameras, turn to virtual reality

Samsung Galaxy S7 is expected to feature two different chipsets based on region: the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC and its own Exynos chipset, a huge 3,600mAh battery, microSD slots. If the encryption extends to the microSD card, then the card can not be used on other devices, which is restricting and defeats the goal of the card. This firmware build also includes Samsung’s new Internet browser.

GSM Arena reports that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will sport a 5.1-inch super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen.

While the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge went up for pre-order at most retailers earlier this week, United Kingdom retailer Unlocked Mobiles opened up pre-orders today.

Samsung said its latest smartphones, the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, will be available in the United States in March. The company also thinks that the model of using microSD for mass storage is more in-line with Samsung owners’ desires and expectations for how microSD should behave.

That said, it’d be nice to have the choice… but both LG and Samsung have decided not to enable support for adoptable storage on their new phones.

Sprint’s new Galaxy Forever program will appeal to those who can not buy one of the new Samsung smartphones by paying the full amount of the handset upfront.

Camera: 12-mega-pixel rear-facing camera and 5-mega-pixel front-facing camera.

The LG G5, on the other hand, will come with a slightly larger 5.3inch displays screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 and 554ppi. If users choose the former option, for all intents and purposes, the microSD card continues to act as it has for several years on Android. The annual Mobile World Congress will start tomorrow February 22 hosting some of the world’s largst communication companies, with many unveiling their last phones and gadgets. Ahead, check out photos of the devices and decide which one you want to get.
