Image
Following its rollout for the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge in Europe two weeks ago, Samsung is now in the midst of distributing this month’s security release  for the Galaxy S6 edge+ in the region. The upgrade — firmware version XXU3BPJ3 — transports patches for a total of 68 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) in the Android OS and 7 dedicated fixes for the firm’s latest smartphones.

Galaxy S6 and S7 owners complaining that Samsung Keyboard isn’t playing nice with the stock email client

Over the course of the past few days, reports have started to emerge on the Internet from Galaxy S6 , Galaxy S6 edge , Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge owners claiming that they’re experiencing issues while composing emails within the stock application using the Samsung Keyboard. “Whenever I try to type contractions like I’m it replaces the ‘ with ” and deletes any letters after automatically. It also changes words like autocorrect into aautocorret and three to ttree… Autoreplace, autocaps, autospace and autopunctuate are all turned off,” writes a user on the Android Central forums . “I talked to support twice and had someone access my device remotely. I reset my keyboard settings and the issue is still present.” Another user corroborated the problem, but revealed that they were able to overcome it by using  Google Keyboard as the input method. Unfortunately, it’s currently unclear what’s causing the bug to occur, but seeing as it’s only affecting a small amount of people, we’re gues

Samsung Participates in Piccadilly Circus ‘Extra Hour’ Campaign

Image
  While for many around the world, clocks ‘falling back’ for Daylight Savings Time means more time to rest or stay out, for the Marie Curie Nurses providing terminally ill patients with vital in-home care, it’s another hour of essential work.   Which is why on October 29 from 7–8pm, to recognize the incredible efforts of the nurses of Britain’s leading charity for those afflicted with terminal illnesses, Samsung donated its advertising space at London’s iconic Piccadilly Circus junction to bring attention to Marie Curie’s ‘Extra Hour’ campaign.     The donation — part of a coordinated effort with other brands advertising at the famous site — saw Samsung blanket its advertising artwork in yellow in support of the campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the fact that Marie Curie Nurses work through the night to provide people living with terminal illnesses with emotional support and hands-on care. The color change was accompanied by messaging that explained the campaign’s obje

Leading Chinese smartphone makers overtake Samsung’s global market share

Image
Samsung’s facing increasing competition from Chinese smartphone manufacturers. For the first time ever, the combined production volume of three of the region’s top producers — Huawei, Oppo and Vivo — surpassed the South Korean company’s global smartphone market share during the July-September period. Market research analyst IDC has revealed that Samsung manufactured 72.5 million devices in the third quarter, giving it a 20 percent market share ( down 2.1 percent ). On the other hand, the Chinese firms produced a total of 80.1 million units, which accounts for 22.1 percent (up 1.3 percent) of the global market. The dip in Samsung’s share likely has something to do with the Galaxy Note 7 debacle as the company had to put a lot of resources into repairing, reproducing and redistributing over 2.5 million handsets — including unsold stock — following its first official recall back on Thursday, September 15.

Samsung to start mass producing 15nm DRAM next year

Samsung will start mass producing its next-generation 15- and 16-nanometer (nm) DRAM in the second half of next year, reveals  Business Korea . In addition, semiconductor industry sources have been cited saying that the manufacturer aims to make its 18nm DRAM chips account for 30 to 40 of its overall DRAM production by the same period of 2017. By constantly ramping up its current 18nm DRAM yield, Samsung has been able to hold an unchallenged position in the global DRAM market. According to market researcher IHS, the firm had a 46.6 share in the second quarter of this year, which is mainly due to its main competitors not yet manufacturing 18nm chips. They’re on track to start in Q2 of 2017. It’s a mystery how Samsung has been able to refine its DRAM process in such a short period of time. Chung Eun-seung, executive vice president of Samsung’s DS division, suggested early last year that the company would mass produce 10-nm class chip technology by 2020. However, if it maintains its
