How to turn off the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge capacitive keys backlighting
4/3/2015 3:46:00 AM

Bright navigational keys backlighting can be pretty annoying, especially at night, and especially if there is no option to adjust the light intensity or, at least, duration. Heck, on most Galaxy S6 and S6 edge models you can't even turn those off, it seems.


Yep, Samsung has somehow missed including a separate option to adjust the touch keys backlight with the new flagships, except on the AT&T version, which, as usual, has its own categorized settings menu.

The Galaxy S5 has this feature tucked in the display settings options, but now, on the S6, there is ...

 

Purported Moto 360 follow-up named "Smelt" leaks with higher resolution display
4/3/2015 3:28:00 AM

Last month, we saw an image of a new Motorola smartwatch being transported in a briefcase. It led us to various speculations of a possible successor to the famous timepiece heading our way, and it seems there might be more to this than mere guesswork. 


Apparently, a "popular app developer" recently had an unknown Motorola-made Android Wear device connect to his Android developer console. The device was located in the city of Mundelein, which is near Motorola's Chicago, Illinois headquarters. Digging through the profile info revealed a device was codenamed "Smelt" and its ...

 

Investors: Samsung is in recovery mode; shares hit 21-month high, market value jumps $11 billion
4/3/2015 3:25:00 AM


After stepping off on the wrong foot last year, Samsung is more than obliged to devise a comeback and think of a way to regain its lost market positions. The not-so-successful Galaxy S5 and the host of "hungry" rivals from China certainly made the honchos up at Samsung's HQ quite sweaty. Luckily, Samsung's new flagships, the Galaxy S6/S6 edge, is everything that its predecessors isn't - a captivating device that really puts it in the upper league.

Despite the latter are not launched just yet, the metal-glass embodiments of Sammy's craftmanship are causing a beneficial ...

Samsung to manufacture Apple's A9 chip (for the next iPhone)
4/2/2015 10:18:00 PM

There's been a lot of talk about who would manufacture Apple's A9 chip (which will power the company's 2015 iPhone and iPad line-ups), with TSMC, Samsung, and GlobalFoundries all mentioned as possible makers of the new SoC. Bloomberg now has it that Samsung has won A9 chip orders from Apple, with additional orders going to GlobalFoundries, which is a Samsung partner. This means that TSMC, also known as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, will probably not secure any orders from the Cupertino giant this year (unlike in 2013, when it sealed a deal to produce most of Apple's A8 chips).

Since ...
