Galaxy S7 edge: An all-round performer

The tension is hard to describe. It's like the feeling you had the day the results were to be declared. You'd already done everything you should have done and there's no way you could change anything.

The delay in getting review units for the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge just added to the tension. I had liked what I saw at the preview; they'd brought back water-proofing and a microSD slot, both significant misses in the Samsung Galaxy S6.

Samsung Gear VR: Reality if you have the right phone

I've always wondered what it felt like to be Iron Man. Now, not only was I able to experience his suit boot up, I also got to meet JARVIS and play around with a few of Tony Stark's toys. I wasn't dreaming. This was reality, of the virtual kind - also called VR. Yes sir, I did all this sitting on my couch, using Samsung's Gear VR headset, attached to a Galaxy Note 5.

At the time of writing, the Gear VR supported only four phones from Samsung - the Galaxy S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5.

Samsung's best shot at a wearable device yet

There was a gentle tingling sensation on my wrist. Finally, I woke up. The culprit was the Samsung Gear S2 Watches I had worn to bed. And the tingles were WhatsApp notifications from a group we cousins have (the group never sleeps as my cousins are spread all over the world).

Groggy-eyed, I switched on the light, silenced the notifications, and went back to sleep. But I needn't have. Turns out, I could have lowered the intensity of the vibration.
