Samsung won’t update Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus anymore

-

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 5 updates and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus updates are now discontinued.
  • The most recent August updates for both devices will be their last.
  • There could be a critical update issued in the future if necessary, but regular updates won't come.

If you're looking forward to new Samsung Galaxy Note 5 updates or security patches for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, unfortunately, you're out of luck. The most recent updates in August of this year will be the last for both devices.

Samsung removed both the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus from its list of devices that will receive future Android updates, via SamMobile.

Sources: Samsung's foldable device will be a blast from the past

Samsung gave us a strong hint of what its first foldable device could look like – five years ago. According to industry sources cited by ETNews (via Phone Arena), Samsung's first phone-tablet hybrid will look a lot …

The removal of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus isn't too surprising, as both the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge were removed from Samsung's update list back in March. The S6 Edge Plus got to hang around for a few extra months, but its removal was imminent.

The Galaxy Note 5's removal was also expected, as the device is over three-years-old at this point. Samsung promises updates for its flagship devices for a minimum of two years, so the Galaxy Note 5 already got an extra year of updates before it was pulled from the active list.

There is still a chance that either device could receive an update in the future if there is a critical flaw in the software that needs to be patched. However, that scenario is unlikely.

Going forward, if you want your Galaxy Note 5 or Galaxy S6 Edge Plus to get new Android updates, you will have to flash a custom ROM such as LineageOS. If you're interested in giving that a shot, we have a cool beginner's guide to the process here.

Beyond eSIM: How iSIM could turn phones into the ultimate Internet ID

-

Most modern smartphones still support the classic SIM card (well, the nano variant at least), but a gradually growing number of phones and other consumer gadgets are starting to support eSIM . We might not be too far away from yet another change in SIM tech, as devices could soon start using iSIM. Earlier this year, Arm unveiled its vision for the iSIM – an integrated SIM that fits into a device's system-on-a-chip. In the future, along with a CPU, GPU, LTE or 5G modem, your next phone SoC could also include the SIM card built inside it too. While there might not appear to be a big difference compared to eSIM, iSIM could end up drastically changing the way we use a wide range of connected devices. eSIM vs iSIM eSIM and iSIM are rather similar in a number of respects. Both replace the transferable nano SIM cards with a hardware chip that's permanently fixed inside a user's phone, tablet, or other gadget. When you consider that nano SIM cards are around 12.3 x 8.8 m

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t
