samsung galaxy games pack s7 — Kārlis Dambrāns

If you’re a Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge owner, you now have access to some in-game perks for several games in the Google Play Store. Samsung is giving away exclusive content and premium perks as part of the new “Galaxy Game Pack,” all of which come free to S7 and S7 Edge owners.

There are a number of games available as part of the promotion, including popular games like Asphalt 8: Airborne and Clash of Kings. In both of those games, you will get a few extra freebies, such as the Class B car pack in Asphalt 8 and a bonus special pack in Clash of Kings. For a full list of the free games and in-game rewards, head here.

If you are an owner of the Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge, it is pretty easy to claim the gift. Simply head to the Google Play Store page for the Galaxy Game Pack, then start downloading the games. Keep in mind that the offer is only valid until January 1, so make sure you go through and get all the games you want before then.

The content is nice for owners of eligible devices. However, Samsung is going to have to push a lot harder if it wants to gain back the customer base it had before the Galaxy Note 7 debacle when some devices spontaneously caught fire while charging. Only time will tell what the future of Samsung’s smartphone business looks like. While we expect to see a Galaxy S8 in the next few months, we are a little less sure about whether Samsung will continue the Galaxy Note line or not.

Samsung has a new (and cheaper) way to buy the Galaxy S23

While the Galaxy S24 is Samsung's latest and greatest phone, it’s a mostly iterative upgrade from the Galaxy S23. If you want to save money, you may have been thinking about purchasing a Galaxy S23 instead. Now, you can save even more because Samsung is adding the Galaxy S23 series to its Certified Re-Newed program.

With Samsung’s Certified Re-Newed program, Samsung extends the usable life of its most popular devices by refurbishing them. Phones sold through the Certified Re-Newed program undergo extensive testing, use genuine parts, and are assembled by Samsung engineers.

A surprise phone just beat the Galaxy S24 Ultra in a big way

The global Android phone market is expansive beyond comprehension, and brands continually jockey to establish supremacy. Today, it's Realme's turn to lead one such race as it has unveiled the brightest smartphone display that has ever been launched to the general public.

Realme, a spinoff of the Chinese phone brand Oppo (which also birthed OnePlus), announced the GT Neo 6 SE earlier today in China. The phone boasts an impressive juxtaposition of internal hardware, but one that instantly stands tall is the new display. The Realme GT Neo 6 SE features a 6.78-inch OLED display with a spectacular 6,000 nits of brightness -- brighter than the displays on any other phone or consumer device with a screen built into it.

Not long after releasing it for a handful of flagship phones from 2023, Samsung has just announced a substantial update to its Galaxy AI platform. More specifically, a lot more people will soon be able to use Galaxy AI as Samsung is updating it to work with more languages and dialects.

At some point this spring, Galaxy AI will support Arabic, Indonesian, and Russian languages. Samsung's also adding Australian English, Cantonese, and Canadian French dialects.
