Samsung's Galaxy S8 And S8 Plus' Separate App Sound, How It Works

Samsung's Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8+ will also have a Bluetooth Dual audio feature dubbed "Separate app sounds". This allows the phone to stream audio to two Bluetooth headsets or speakers simultaneously while still allowing the user to independently control each device. Bluetooth 5.0 is twice as fast as the current standard (Bluetooth 4.2), and it offers four times the range. 

That means it can connect to compatible tech like smartwatches or smart home devices that are up to 240 meters (800 feet) away. Bluetooth 5.0 is expected to further advance the internet of things (IoT) experience, and Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8+ is the first phone to offer this feature.

Samsung Galaxy S8 And S8+ Home Button Moves, To Prevent Screen Burn-In

It seems Samsung has taken the same route with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, though not with the entire display. The new on-screen home button shifts around a little bit to prevent burn-in. 

The new on screen home button shifts around a little bit to prevent burn-in. Though the home button is always at the bottom when in portrait you would see it in fullscreen or landscape apps if it burned into the screen, so this is a great move on Samsung’s part.

It’s Called The Samsung Galaxy Camera

It’s called the Galaxy Camera and AT&T just announced that it’s going to carry it “in the coming weeks.” The camera runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (the latest version), and sports a 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, a 4.8-inch HD Super Clear LCD display, AllShare, Share Shot, Buddy Share and much more. The best part? It runs Android applications, which means you can snap awesome 16-megapixel photos and quickly send them off to Instagram, Facebook or to a friend via e-mail no matter where you are.

Neither Samsung nor AT&T detailed pricing for the camera yet, but in our hands-on time with the device we found it much better than the shooters on most smartphones. So, if you still like carrying a point and shoot and want the ability to quickly upload images, the Galaxy Camera should be right up your alley.

Oh, and about that 4G connection, AT&T didn’t specifically say it supports LTE. Our gut reaction right now is that it’s an HSPA+ device but we’ve reached out to AT&T for clarification.

Samsung Brings iTunes And iOS Data To Galaxy Devices

Samsung has announced that it's partnered with developer Mushroom Media to bring the company's Easy Phone Sync application to owners of Galaxy smartphones and tablets. As the name suggests, Easy Phone Sync is allows phones to transfer content from their PCs over a USB connection, with the particular focus being on importing music and other media from iTunes, and contacts and messages from iOS. The app, which will presumably be available for a fee at some point in the future, can be downloaded for free on Google Play if you've got a Galaxy device.

The app release and partnership with Mushroom Media is likely part of Samsung's plans to give iOS users an easy path from Apple's ecosystem to its own. Samsung has made no secret of its efforts to establish itself as a equal competitor to Apple, and the Korean manufacturer will be hoping to lure upgrading iPhone users to its Galaxy S III with apps like this. While Easy Phone Sync isn't anywhere near as polished as an Apple app, it's fast and functional enough to be of use to iOS converts making the switch to a Galaxy phone.

We've given Easy Phone Sync a quick test on the Galaxy S III, and it seems to work well enough. Inexplicably though, the phone app seems to run persistently in the background, leaving an unsightly notification in place at all times.  The phone all only serves to install a license key though, and after that it can be uninstalled. Regardless, persistent notifications are annoying, and make for a sub-par user experience -- on an officially-sanctioned app like this, there's no excuse.
