Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge show up in a new leaked image

Posted on by

At this point, based on all the rumors and reports, it was expected that Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and S7 edge would look like the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, respectively, but it’s still good to see the devices ahead of their official announcement.

That’s what we’ve got here, with Evan Blass (@evleaks) coming forward with another major reveal, this time a clear look at Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. It’s not a live photo, but it does give the best look at what the devices will probably look like. Nothing’s been confirmed just yet, but that should be changing soon, especially if that March 11 launch date is to be met.

Galaxy S7 leak2

Reports in the past have suggested Samsung is going to include water resistance, a microSD card slot, and even bigger batteries in this year’s model, so that should be interesting to see if those pan out.

Are you looking forward to Samsung’s next flagships?

LG hints its G5 will have a removable battery while poking fun at Samsung

Posted on by

Many users were upset when Samsung decided to discontinue a removable battery design and we hope LG does not go the same direction as Samsung as LG is one of the few phone makers that still design its smartphones with hot-swappable batteries.

Samsung posted a picture of a Galaxy S6 edge+ with a caption stating that it can charge from 0-to-full in 90 minutes. Then LG USA replied with “Go from zero to full instantly with a removable battery” LG also includes a link to its LG V10 product page.

@SamsungMobile Go from zero to full instantly with a removable battery: https://t.co/xBcf65TGno #LGV10— LG USA Mobile (@LGUSAMobile) January 27, 2016

This jab at Samsung could indicate that LG still plans to keep designing phones with a removable battery. Specifically, the LG G5 could feature a removable battery.

It’s funny to think just a couple short years ago, Samsung used to boast its removable battery when a film crew took the Galaxy S5 on a trip from the East Coast to the West Coast.

The battery lasted all the way across the country with a combination of texts, phone calls, photos and lots of time in Ultra Power Save Mode. Once the battery died, a crew member swapped the battery and had a full charge all over again.

The LG G5 is rumored to have a 16MP and 8MP camera on the rear and front, respectively, a USB Type-C port, a 5.6 inch QHD display, and a Snapdragon 820 chipset.

The LG G5 is expected to be announced on February 21 at Mobile World Congress in Spain this year.

New Numbers Suggest PS4 Is Outselling Xbox One Nearly 2:1

Posted on by

Microsoft tends to be pretty mum about total sales for the Xbox One. We’ve got data on the total sales of the Xbox brand, data on the number of Xbox Live subscribers, information on how Xbox One is outselling the Xbox 360 at a comparable point in its lifespan, but it’s been a long time since we heard about total units shipped. It’s not hard to guess why: Sony is anything but shy with total sales figures for the PS4, and it’s become pretty clear that Microsoft is trailing. But new numbers from EA’s financial report might have accidentally revealed the total number of Xbox Ones out in the wild.
