Samsung Galaxy S8+ – Initial Impressions
I’m loving it so far.
A lot of changes have been made from the original S7 upto the S8. But there are a few things that I want to mention about, within my first few hours of the device.
Design
Samsung finally removed their iconic physical ‘Home’ button and replaced it with an on-screen home button. While it may be strange for older Samsung users, after a while, you get used to where it is and doesn’t become a bother. (You can also change the placement of the ‘Back’ and ‘Recents’ button, respectively). Because of this bold design move, you have more screen to body ratio, and I see myself wanting to see videos on full screen.Another benefit of the screen, is that multi-tasking feels more natural and doesn’t feel like you’re losing real-estate. I made a quick phone and still was able to text flawlessly on my S8+. It brought the best of both worlds.
Software
TouchWiz UI is notorious for being slow and just buggy when you need it to work at its potential. Using it for about 4 hours, I had no issues with lag. It was a surprise because as a Samsung user, I am used to the occasional hiccup. But it works flawlessly, with less bugs.With the Nougat update, categorizing your Apps have never been easier. It takes a quick drag and drop to get your Apps in a Folder and color them to your liking.
Camera
The camera improved greatly. Front camera mega pixels improved upto 8MP, which allows for some great looking photos with friends. With HDR Auto and Flash in the front of the camera, it gives more options to get that perfect shot with friends!Summary
These are only quick things that I was able to get a hold of. I’ll be sure to write a more comprehensive review on what makes this phone a good addition to your lifestyle.

Samsung Gear 360 – 360 Content for Live Streaming
Looks like Eve from Wall-E. Two weeks ago, Samsung unveiled some great products, notably their new Samsung Gear 360, a 4K resolution 360-degree camera, adding to Samsung’s overall virtual reality ecosystem. The new Gear 360 offers enhanced features for producing high-quality content. With its lightweight design and refined lenses, this is sure to enable many content creators to capture the best moments.
For the first time, the Gear 360 offers video recording at up to 4K resolution, letting consumers capture and share moments with friends and family. This is the first time that Samsung has a camera that is able to record high resolution content. (The older model could only go such shy of 4K) Equipped with 8.4-megapixel image sensors, the Gear 360 can also capture 15MP high resolution images.
The latest edition of Gear 360 is compatible with Samsung flagship devices including the newly released Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy Note5, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy S6, and Galaxy S6 edge. Gear 360 ALSO offers greater compatibility with iOS devices (the first time this has happened) and Windows®/Mac® computers. The last iteration of the Gear 360 could only work for Windows computers, but the inclusion of Mac/iOS, allows for more flexibility across all operating systems.
Once we get our hands on it, we’ll write our review on what makes this so great.
