While it’s unquestionably sad to see so many decent Android devices still frozen on an OS version that’s nearly two years old and never thrilled with its stability and smoothness, a couple of hardware manufacturers are certainly pulling their weight in the Marshmallow distribution effort.Samsung in particular deserves praise for not just hooking up owners of recent, expensive Galaxy flagships with Android 6.0 goodies, also
The post Galaxy A8 is the latest non-flagship Samsung to jump on Marshmallow bandwagon appeared first on Pocketnow.
Changes are coming to Samsung’s lineup of Galaxy A smartphones, and one week ago we saw the manufacturer introduce the latest batch of phones to wear that label, the new 2016 editions of the Galaxy A3, A5, and A7. Those refreshes had been a long time coming, with the original A3 and A5 launching all the way back in October of last year, but it now looks like even some more recent Galaxy ...

First, there were eight. Then, over a dozen, split into two phases, with more to come in a third wave “after initial testing.” And now, all three phases of Samsung’s Android 6.0 “update guide” are detailed, with status tweaks, revised timelines, and even news of a few devices that will probably not support Marshmallow.In a somewhat surprising twist, the equally fresh, equally great

Over the course of 2015, Samsung has pushed the bar further and further up as far as non-flagship phones are concerned, crafting Galaxy A family members entirely out of premium metal, and fitting the 5.7-inch A8 with remarkable specs like 2GB RAM, a 16MP rear camera, or 3,050 mAh battery.The million-dollar question is where could things be taken next? Is there still room for improvement outside
The post ‘Mid-range’ Samsung Galaxy A9 gets benchmarked with SD620 SoC, 3GB RAM appeared first on Pocketnow.
First we talked of a possible fifth addition to Samsung’s non-flagship full-metal Galaxy A lineup, it was all pure conjecture based on the fact an A9 fitted the Snapdragon 620 “requirements.” But now we have hard evidence supporting the existence of an SM-A9000 handheld, which can only go official under the Galaxy A9 moniker, given the A8 is also identified by the model number SM-A800x.No doubt looking to further blur the lines between mid and ...
