<div style="text-align: justify;">
The South Korean firm published a teaser video for its Unpacked 2016 press event on Sunday February 21 in Barcelona, Spain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 14-second teaser shows a man putting on a Samsung Gear VR headset, gazing around in wonder at a series of floating cubes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Samsung is using the social hashtag #TheNextGalaxy to plug the event.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whether or not the technology firm has some virtual reality announcements to share alongside its two new flagship smartphones, remain to be seen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However Samsung is live-streaming the Barcelona announcement to fans across the globe who, presumably, will be able to watch with existing Samsung Gear VR hardware.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The latest rumours for the <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/samsung-galaxy-s7-release-date-full.html">Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge point to a dust and water-proof case</a>, bigger batteries, <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/samsung-galaxy-s7-release-date-full.html">improved cameras</a> and<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/samsung-galaxy-s7-might-solve-biggest.html"> the return of expandable storage via microSD card</a>.</div>

Combined with the award-winning industrial design that Samsung introduced at Mobile World Congress last year, <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/samsung-galaxy-s7-will-be-best-phone-of.html">we think the new smartphones sound like a must-have</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some rumours point to Samsung incorporating a variation of the pressure-sensitive display technology Apple incorporated into its iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Technology firm Synaptics is believed to be developing the cutting-edge screen that responds differently as varying levels of pressure are applied to the multitouch display.</div>

<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/google-android-60-marshmallow-5-of-best.html">Android 6.0 Marshmallow is Google's best update yet</a>. Unfortunately, Samsung smartphone owners have not had a chance to test it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But that could be about to change.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A leaked document from inside Samsung and published by <em>Mobipicker</em> reveals when Galaxy smartphone owners can expect the upgrade.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S6 Edge+ are set to get the Android 6.0 upgrade in February or March, with the phablet set to receive the upgrade first.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Samsung's Galaxy Note 5, which failed to materialise in the UK, is also slated for a February release.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, the South Korean firm's 2014 flagship smartphone – the Galaxy S5 – will also get the bump to Android 6.0 in March or April.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier this week, a video of a Galaxy S6 Edge running Android Marshmallow appeared online.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amongst the new security and in-app privacy features bundled in the Google update, Samsung has added some exciting new functionality for S6 Edge owners.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The beta shows some exciting new features for the Edge display, including a new My Places panel that lists your most recently used apps – and lets you quickly relaunch the software.</div>

These useful snippets slide-in from the curved display, while the remaining screen real estate blurs. Swiping across the panel cycles to the next live widget.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Samsung is expected to unveil its next flagship smartphone at the Mobile World Congress technology tradeshow in Barcelona next month. But the South Korean firm’s latest smartphone has a hard act to follow.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are brilliant smartphones, and a major departure in terms of industrial design for the South Korean technology giant.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Samsung ditched the Galaxy S5’s dimpled plastic case – that bore an eery resemblance to an old plaster – in favour of a sleek glass case with a strong, all-metal band around the edges. And the S6 Edge took that stunning design one step further, adding a beautiful, curved Quad-HD 5.1inch display.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both variations packed the same great 16MP camera, fast Octa-core 64-bit processor, and 3GB of RAM. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unsurprisingly the Samsung smartphones reaped gongs throughout the last year, picking up acclaim from <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/09/and-best-smartphone-of-2015-is-not.html">the T3 Magazine Awards</a>, <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/and-best-smartphone-of-2015-is.html">EE Pocket-Lint Awards</a> and TrustedReviews award shows.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The South Korean firm is expected to keep a similar industrial design to the S6 and S6 Edge, despite what some of the more creative or elaborate three-dimensional renders would have you believe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead of completely overhauling its design for a second year running, Samsung is expected to address some of the issues levelled at its award-winning handsets. And that’s incredibly exciting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First on the majority of Samsung owners’ wish list – <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/samsung-galaxy-s7-might-solve-biggest.html">the microSD card</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Samsung dropped the removable rear case, with its swappable battery pack and expandable microSD card slot, in the move from the Galaxy S5 to the Galaxy S6. Not everyone was happy with the decision, which allowed the firm to create the beautiful unibody design of the S6 Edge – but resulted in a sealed, Apple-esque handset.</div>

Plus, those looking to shoot extensively in 4K video and not run out of phone storage will no doubt be happy with the addition of microSD, since the 128GB Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge model previously retailed for an eye-watering £779.00.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Samsung is also expected to refine and tweak the rear camera on the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. Taking a step back from the never-ending specs race Android manufacturers often find themselves caught in, Samsung is rumoured to be dropping its rear camera from 16MP to 12MP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The South Korean firm is expected to increase the size of the pixels in its image sensor, which will improve performance in tough, low-light conditions. That’s more important to smartphone owners, who will often use their mobile devices in trying light-conditions, like a dimly-lit restaurant, gloomy pub, or night club. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A leaked document from inside Samsung and published by <em>Mobipicker</em> reveals when Galaxy smartphone owners can expect the upgrade.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S6 Edge+ are set to get the Android 6.0 upgrade in February or March, with the phablet set to receive the upgrade first.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Samsung's Galaxy Note 5, which failed to materialise in the UK, is also slated for a February release.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, the South Korean firm's 2014 flagship smartphone – the Galaxy S5 – will also get the bump to Android 6.0 in March or April.</div>

SAMSUNG'S latest flagship smartphone has appeared in a detailed 3D render which reveals a similar design to the award-winning Galaxy S6 – with no support for microSD.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Samsung Galaxy S7 is still a few months away from its rumoured UK launch, but that hadn't stopped <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/youll-need-big-hands-if-you-want-to-use.html">the leaks and rumours coming thick and fast.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A series of high-resolution renders have now appeared online in a short video, courtesy of serial technology leaker @OnLeaks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The slick 3D model shown in the video is based on detailed blueprints supplied to third-party accessory manufacturers ahead of the launch of the smartphone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Samsung smartphone in the video is the larger of the two upcoming models, dubbed Samsung Galaxy S7 Plus.</div>

Steve Hemmerstoffer – best known for his hugely popular <a href="https://twitter.com/OnLeaks" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@OnLeaks Twitter account</a> – claims the blueprints were handed over by his "most reliable source".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Galaxy S7 Plus appears to have <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/youll-need-big-hands-if-you-want-to-use.html">a six-inch display, comfortably making it one of the largest phablets Samsung has ever shipped</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And despite recent reports – it appears the Galaxy S7 will not support expandable storage via microSD, since the port does not appear in any of the blueprints handed over to case manufacturers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reports that Samsung would opt for the reversible and increasingly-popular USB Type-C port appear to be false, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other rumours around the upcoming Galaxy S7 reveal a retina scanner for improved security, alongside an improved fingerprint scanner embedded into the physical home button.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div><iframe width="640" height="378" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lIDpWThAK1Q" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The latest renders also show the device with a microUSB port for syncing and fast-charging – although it will likely support wireless charging via the Qi standard as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The latest Samsung flagship is also remarkably svelte, measuring just 7.82mm – or 9.05mm is you count the bump for the rear camera.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Samsung Galaxy S7 will launch worldwide in March 2016 following an announcement at Mobile World Congress in late February.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The US newspaper also collaborates reports that the flagship smartphone will be one of the first mainstream Android smartphones to ship with <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/samsung-is-building-revolutionary-roll.html">a pressure-sensitive display</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Synaptics <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/samsung-is-building-revolutionary-roll.html">is believed to be developing the pressure sensitive display and technology that will power the new smartphone</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Similar to Apple's 3D Touch, the Synaptics' technology – dubbed ClearForce – responds to different levels of pressure applied to the multitouch glass display.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pressure sensitive technology will allow Samsung to add more options to the display than the traditional swipe, pinch and tap used on multi-touch smartphones.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
THE Samsung Gear S2 is the best smartwatch available for Android smartphone owners right now. But it is in desperate need of some killer Tizen apps.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<section class="text-description" style="text-align: justify;"><ul>
<li><em><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>Pros –</strong> </span>Stylish Round Design, Always On Watch Face, Rotating The Bezel Is Fast, Intuitive And Fun, Great Notification Support For Android, Solid Fitness Tracking </em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: red;"><strong>Cons –</strong></span> Lack Of Killer Third-Party Apps for Tizen OS, No GPS, Samsung Pay Not Yet Available In The UK</em></li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Samsung has released seven smartwatches to date. So, it was about time the South Korean firm produced the perfect smartwatch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And the Samsung Gear S2 could be the hardware that finally has a shot at kickstarting the much talked-about wearable revolution.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Enter the Gear S2 – a device that breaks all of Samsung's previous rules.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unlike previous attempts, Samsung has decided to style their latest wearable computer like a watch. And it looks great.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Secondly, the Gear S2 can be linked with a number of rival smartphones including devices from LG, Sony and HTC.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But don't get too excited in your an iPhone user, since the Apple handset can't be linked to the Gear S2 just yet. Although, Samsung is reportedly hard at work fixing that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally – the biggest change of all – Samsung has dropped Google's open-source Android Wear OS and replaced it with their own software, Tizen OS.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So … do all of these changes make sure a must-have smartwatch?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">And no</span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Express.co.uk</em> has had the Samsung Gear S2 strapped to our wrist for the last couple of weeks – and there are a lot of exciting features packed into this nifty little timepiece.</div>

Samsung's wearable will count your steps, check your heart rate and tell you if you've achieved your daily fitness goals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's also a handy Nike+ running app bundled with the Gear S2 which tracks your runs alongside Samsung's own fitness offering.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That wealth of information can be sorted by spinning the bezel on the front of the watch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Using the Gear S2 feels very natural, like idly clicking around the bezel on a divers watch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The spinning bezel gives a satisfying click every time it's turned, which adds to the enjoyment of flying through menus, news articles and text conversations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Samsung’s new navigation tool is also a surprisingly fast way to move around the operating system and it keeps the AMOLED display fingerprint-<em>free</em>.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's also much better than the touchscreen-focused solution currently used by the majority of Android Wear devices, including the disappointing LG Watch Urbane.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are also two physical buttons, a Back and Home button, which sit on the right hand-side of the device, when it's worn on your left wrist.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But navigating the Gear S2 isn't perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Granted, the spinning bezel is a great solution but since it scrolls at a consistent speed – quickly twisting it does not allow you to fly through a draw-out email conversation – chugging through a lengthy email or text message chain soon becomes frustrating.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, navigating around the Samsung Gear S2 is fun. And that’s not something we have been able to say about South Korean firm’s previous smartwatches.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Gear S2 can also make calls via your smartphone although, unlike some of its rivals, there’s no speaker for hands-free chatting on-the-go, which is a little disappointing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
S Voice commands are also supported in Samsung's seventh smartwatch, but these are pretty basic and nowhere near as comprehensive as rival voice assistants.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like every other full-featured smartwatch on the market, the battery life in the Gear S2 doesn't last more than a day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But it will comfortably last as long as you do – and takes no time at all to charge on the handy night-stand charger cradle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Be aware, battery life also takes a hit if you decide to opt for the always-on watch face setting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a really nice feature, since it means you can always glance and double-check the time <em>– which is the point of wearing a watch, right?</em></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stylish, compact and powered by a novel and genuinely useful navigation mechanic, the Gear S2 has plenty going for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately the biggest problem with the smartwatch is Samsung's Tizen OS.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unlike rival Apple Watch, there are only a very limited supply of apps for the Gear S2 – and it is missing a number of key players.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many third-party app developers haven’t shipped software for Tizen OS and smartwatch owners are likely to be very disappointed by what's currently on offer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The standalone Tizen App Store is brimming with downloadable watch faces, but very few powerful apps that add to the experience of wearing the Samsung timepiece. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a big problem, and it's something Samsung needs to sort out soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another disappointment is the lack of support for Samsung contactless payments in the UK.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Samsung Pay – which will allow users to pay at the checkout with a quick tap of the Gear S2 smartwatch – is coming to the UK at some point in the near future, but if you grab a Gear S2 before Christmas you're still going to need to carry around a wallet.</div>

</tbody></table>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Gear S2 is also pretty pricey with the basic model costing £249, whilst the Classic model will set you back £299.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately the Classic does not feel as premium as the publicity shots on Samsung’s website would have you believe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The spinning bezel felt flimsier than its fitness-focused counterpart and the metal body did not have the premium heft of Apple's pricer offering.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the sport model feels durable and will look good on smaller and larger wrists. It also comes in both 3G and Bluetooth variations, unlike the Classic.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Final Verdict </strong></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After years of trying, Samsung has finally produced a smartwatch worth buying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Gear S2 is well made, looks great and has some neat features tucked inside its lightweight frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The rotating bezel is intuitive and a lot of fun to use.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Samsung has also been clever by finally making the Gear S2 available to any Android handset running KitKat 4.4 and with at least 1.5GB of RAM, which certainly broadens its appeal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sadly, it's not all positive as the wearable is let down by the lack of compelling and big-name apps available on Tizen and the absence of contactless payment in the UK (for now).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hopefully both of these issues will be fixed in the coming months, but it's certainly something you need to consider before splashing the cash on a Gear S2.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Battery life is still annoying and the lack of GPS means you'll have to strap a smartphone to your body every time you go for a run.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This device certainly isn't perfect but with Samsung hard at work on bringing its tap-to-pay solution to the UK and pushing developers to embrace its Tizen operating system – the Gear S2 is only going to get better and better.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For now, the Gear S2 is a stylish smartwatch with a unique and fun spinning bezel and great notification support for Android smartphones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's easily the best smartwatch Samsung has ever released.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But with iPhone support, contactless payments and more must-have smartwatch apps on the way – this wearable is only going to become more appealing over the coming months.</div>
