Visitors to the 2018 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona were treated to Samsung's unveiling of 2 new smartphones on Sunday, the new Galaxy S9 and S9+, which feaure brighter and bigger screens, highly advanced cameras, stereo speakers and ultra-slow motion video capture. The Galaxy S9 and S9 + will be available from March 16 in the Midnight Black, Coral Blue and Lilac Purple at the recommended price of $1100) and $1230 respectively.
2018 could be the year that Samsung enthusiasts - particularly those who bought into Samsung’s SmartThings ecosystem - will finally get their comeuppance. In a report from Bloomberg, sources told the publication that 2018 will be the year Samsung’s smart speaker should be announced and be available to buy - pointing to a release date in the first half of the new year. While the sources couldn’t provide too many details on the shape, size or feature-set of the speaker, they did corroborate earlier reports that it would utilize Bixby, Samsung’s proprietary smart assistant that works like Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa. The most interesting detail revealed in the new report was that Samsung plans on actually undercutting Apple’s smart home speaker, the Apple HomePod, by around $150.
Even though the iphone is hot in the news right now, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 still appears to have a lot a heat building up to its release. The Note 8 is the most-pre-ordered entry in the Note family. This is a slight shock to the company, due to the fact that the last phone they released had battery issues, and many customers were unhappy and did not want a samsung phone any more. The phone hits store shelves in the US and UK this Friday, September 15.

With the release of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge this week, it took only a couple of days for the world to get a look at how much damage the new smartphones can take beyond scratching. SquareTrade, a smartphone insurance company, took the brand-new Galaxy S7 phones and tested their water resistance and durability against falling, tumbling and bending. The S7 phones fared much better underwater than the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus and SquareTrade says they're the most water-resistant phone it has tested. As far as the S7’s glass front and back are concerned, the corners and back reportedly break easily. After a run inside a device known as the TumbleBot, the S7 and S7 Edge had significant damage on the back and corners, with minor scratches on the screen.
Samsung delighted their fans by making the Galaxy S7 phones waterproof again. The phones can withstand being under at least a meter of water and for at least 30 minutes. But it turns out the phones don’t just handle being dunked — they also know when they’re wet. S7 will warn you if it detects any moisture lurking in the one weak spot in any waterproof phone design: its charging port. One user reported that his phone would no longer charge after performing a dunk test. When he plugged his Samsung fast charger in, the phone displayed a message that moisture had been detected in the charging port and the current never started flowing.
