Everyone seems to have forgotten about Samsung’s 3G-connected smartwatch which is also set to go on sale at the same time as the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge.
March 11, the same day as the official release of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. Among all the madness of news surrounding the impending launch of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, Samsung’s Gear S2 Classic will be going on sale at AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
The only carrier who bothered to put a pre-order link on their website is AT&T which shows the pricing at $250 with 2-year service agreement. Which is still crazy for such a device but I guess when you consider the monthly service fee for maintaining a connected watch, it KINDA justifies it?
The Gear S2 Classic is a smartwatch which features a more traditional watch design on the rotary-style dial and metal bodies with interchangeable bands.

LINE brings you a new way to talk to people, a way that you might never have to use, but if you want to, you can! LINE is bringing group voice calls to chat groups of up to 200 people.
“Calls can be initiated from within group chats or multiple person chats, and a notification message will be sent to all of the users participating in the chat. The number of people currently participating in the call can also be confirmed from within the chat. An icon is displayed above the user icon of the person currently speaking at the time, enabling users to easily communicate with each other.”
The feature is first rolling out to all countries outside of Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, and Indonesia. These countries will follow soon after. These countries hold a huge chunk of LINE’s users and an update like this needs to be rolled out in stages.
The feature is expected to come to LINE for Mac shortly after.

Samsung’s newest Android-powered flagship smartphones have received mostly positive reviews, but Forbes contributor Ewan Spence pointed out that the Galaxy S7 has “issues around performance” and the “changes are merely iterative, without any new vision.” In this article, the focus will be on the Galaxy S7 battery performance in comparison to other smartphones.
The battery in the Galaxy S7 is 3000 mAh. Since the Galaxy S7 edge is larger, Samsung was able to fit a 3600 mAh battery into the curved variant. This is substantially more than the 2550 mAh battery in the Galaxy S6 and the 2600 mAh battery in the Galaxy S6 edge. Despite having a larger battery, the Galaxy S7 actually has an inferior battery life compared to its predecessor, according to Phone Arena.
Phone Arena designed a strenuous custom battery life test to determine how long phones last before requiring a recharge. The Galaxy S7 lasts 6 hours and 37 minutes. Under the same test, the Galaxy S6 scored 7 hours and 14 minutes. “Considering the larger cell of the Galaxy S7, it’s a bit weird to see such a notable delta,” said Phone Arena in a blog post. The tested Galaxy S7 was branded Verizon and contains a Qualcomm 820 chipset rather than the Exynos. Phone Arena set the brightness to 200 nits on every device it tested and ran the same script that replicates real life usage to be certain of uniformity.
The good news is that it doesn’t take long for the Galaxy S7 to fully charge. It takes only 88 minutes to fully charge the Galaxy S7 — which is only ten minutes more than the Galaxy S6 and should not be surprising since the mAh is much larger in the newer Samsung flagship.
How does the battery life on the S7 compare to other smartphones? In terms of battery life hours and charging time, here is a comparison of the devices:

Now that LIGO has finally seen gravitational waves, we know that ripples in the fabric of space are real. But is gravity fundamentally a quantum force? Gravitational waves can teach us, but it’s won’t be LIGO that does it!
