Samsung Pay launch gets delayed to 2017 in the UK

Samsung launched its mobile payment service, Samsung Pay , in South Korea and the US last year . Later the company began the service in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Russia, Singapore, Spain, and a few other countries. The company promised earlier this year that it would bring Samsung Pay to the UK by the end of 2016. However, it is now being reported that the launch of Samsung Pay in the UK is delayed to 2017. According to a report from The Telegraph , Samsung recently confirmed that it is pushing the launch of Samsung Pay in the UK to 2017. The company has provided no specific time frame. The main reason behind this delay is cited to be the negotiation with banks as it is taking longer than what Samsung expected earlier. The company’s mobile payment service will compete with Apple Pay and Android Pay in the UK when it launches next year.

Galaxy Note 7 investigation result expected to be announced next month

Samsung has been investigating the cause of the Galaxy Note 7′s tendency to catch fire even after it switched battery suppliers and promised that the replacement units sent out after the first recall were safe. The company has said that it’s going to make the results of this investigation public . Industry sources cited in a new report out of South Korea today claim that the results will be announced next month. The company is also working with several product safety agencies in the United States and in South Korea to ascertain the cause of the fires. The batteries were initially believed to be the primary culprit but the matter should have been resolved when Samsung switched suppliers . It’s believed that diverse factors must have played a role in the Galaxy Note 7′s demise. The Galaxy Note 7 has since been discontinued and the company continues to urge users to return their device for an exchange or a full refund. Samsung would certainly want to get this out of the way before it

Samsung releases a speedometer app for the Gear S3

Samsung has launched the Gear S3 in a few markets, and the latest smartwatch from the company comes with built-in GPS connectivity. It received a minor firmware update last week that added preliminary support for a speedometer. Now, Samsung has released a standalone speedometer app for the Gear S3. The aptly named ‘Speedometer for Gear’ app was released earlier today by Samsung, and it is compatible with the Gear S3 . It uses the Gear S3′s GPS to calculate the user’s speed in real-time. It also shows the data in graphical format along with lowest and highest speeds, and it even keeps track of previous data.

Samsung Galaxy S8 could feature a front camera with autofocus

Samsung’s flagship smartphones rank at the very top when it comes to the hardware they feature, but the Korean giant has been surprisingly slow at upgrading the selfie cameras on its devices. Samsung has stuck to a 5-megapixel front camera on its flagships for a long time now, and while it is unknown if the resolution will see a jump with the Galaxy S8 , a report from ETNews says Samsung will be putting autofocus functionality on its next flagship’s front camera. Front cameras with autofocus are still a rarity in the smartphone world, and many would argue it isn’t a feature you really need in order to take good selfies. But with selfies taking center stage in smartphone photography these days, manufacturers are bound to start looking at ways to improve the overall experience of capturing them. Again, it’s unclear if we will also see a bump in resolution on the S8′s front camera – it’s probably going to happen, especially with Apple having made a similar move with the iPhone 7 and iPh

Samsung confirms it’s thinking about a split as it increases dividend payout

Samsung today announced its formal response to a proposal submitted by US hedge fund and minority shareholder Elliott Associates which suggested that Samsung Electronics should be split into a holding company for ownership purposes and an operating company besides paying a one-time dividend of $27 billion from cash reserves. The proposal also called for increasing dividend payout going forward and to appoint additional members to the board. The company says that it has been taking steps to simplify its business to focus more on its core capabilities. We’ve seen it sell off non-core assets like the printing business and make new acquisitions for future growth. Samsung says it’s reviewing “the possibility” of creating a holding company structure as well as the potential benefits that it affords which include listing of the company’s shares on additional exchanges. Since determining the optimal structure of such a big company is a complex task which involves important legal, operation
