According to Mel Wells, who is popular as a writer for fitness and health in the UK, the selfies taken from a Samsung Galaxy S7 may make you prettier by removing original blemishes from your face in the photo. It removed her freckles from the selfie she took as the S7 has the Beauty mode turned on by default. Apparently, she did not appreciate the little airbrushing that the camera app did automatically and had this to say.


"This means everyone who gets a new Samsung phone and flicks the front camera on is automatically being told ‘Hi, we're Samsung and we think you look way better when we automatically airbrush your selfies for you."


This have hurt the sentiments of a few who are against the worldwide marketing ploy to trap customers into thinking that they don't look good enough and need some sort of a product to look better. However, since it is just a setting that you can turn off at will, many may fail to see the point of turning such trivial matters into issues. What do you think? Do you like it when selfies look prettier than you actually are or do you think it's just better if they reflect your original self as closely as possible?

Evan Blass from @evleaks has just released a few renders online via Twitter and they show the three colors of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in full flurry. The colors are Black Onyx, Silver Titanium and Blue Coral, as supposedly named by Samsung. However, they have raised some eyebrows as the almost confirmed iris scanner we had seen before in the leaked photo of the Note 7's front panel, is missing here. The three circular lenses necessary for the iris scanner to work (as per a recent patent filed by Samsung) are nowhere to be seen in these alleged press renders of the next Note.



It should be noted that Evan Blass himself had declared that the Note 7 will have the much anticipated iris scanner, yet his own leak counters that theory now. Nonetheless, we can see a slightly curved back over here in this render, as well as an even lesser camera protrusion that seen on the S7. The S-Pen and its placement looks identical to that of the Note 5 and the dual Edge display can be clearly observed. Whether this is indeed the final render that will be seen on August 2 is something that we will find out in about a month's time from now.

Smartphones are a major part of our lives, and even though we know them well they often hold secrets. The Samsung S7 which is an Android device is powerful to do everything you need, though you may not know what all of these things are. In this article we're looking at some of the little secrets that are held within the phone which you may find useful.


Personalising your Home Screen


Your home screen is your first destination on your phone so it is important to have everything you need on it; you also want to find that perfect wallpaper for it. Did you know it was possible to personalise it to fit your needs quickly? Simple press the image for a few seconds and you'll be able to change not only the wallpaper but also the theme as well. If you want to fit more widgets and shortcuts on your screen, you can also change the grid size meaning you can have up to 25 items on the screen at the same time.


Block Swearing



There are times you may need to censor swear words off your phone, and there is an actual way to do this with a simple trick. Go to Settings, then click on Language and Input. From this point go to Google Voice Typing, and choose Block Offensive Words. This should help relieve any problems you have with swearing on your phone.


Creating New and Customising Folders


When your screen starts to get cluttered, the way to fix this is through the creation of folders. While it may not be obvious how to create these on the fly, all you actually have to do is hold your finger on one app then slide it over another and release. You can then drag any other apps into that folder. To remove one, hold your finger on an app until it is selected, then drag it out.


Setting up Notifications


Anybody who uses a smartphone will know the annoying nature of notifications. On the Samsung Galaxy S7 it is possible to handle how the notifications will appear and how they are handled. To make them more easy to handle go to Settings, Notifications and then you will have access to all App notifications, as well as the ability to turn them off or on again. It's not hard to make a few changes that will make your smartphone life a lot less annoying, and may even help with the battery life of your phone.


There are some other secrets hidden away on your Samsung Galaxy S7 so be sure to hunt them out. Once you have your phone working as you want it, you'll be able to get back to a game of Candy Crush Saga, or even a game of Rainbow Riches if that is your game of choice. The important thing is to gain control of your phone and make it work for you, rather than having it control your life.



Courtesy of @onleaks and Android Authority, we can now look at leaked photos of the upcoming Note 7's front panel. As you can guess, we were most interested to see what the front panel reveals to us and delightfully, it reveals that the Note 7 will indeed sport the rumoured iris scanner that we have been hearing about for a while now. As @onleaks is usually dead accurate with their leaks, this is more news than rumor.


Additionally, the photos also confirm the 5.8-inch dual Edge display that rumors have been predicting for months now. This sits in perfectly with previous reports about the Galaxy Note 7, so it isn't really a surprise at this point. Another little detail that the leak reveals is that the Note 7 won't have enough space in the front to sport the Samsung logo like all Samsung smartphones have done in the past, on account of the three lenses required for the iris scanner to work. The South Korean OEM clearly wants to keep bezel space to a minimum, so this adjustment had to be made. Did you find the confirmation satisfying or do you not care for an iris scanner on your next device?

Although the official unveiling date for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is still more than a month away on the 2nd of August, rumors and leaks have already given away most of what to expect from the next Note. The latest leak even hints at a brand new "Coral Blue" variant that has not been seen on a Galaxy Note device yet. Most importantly though, two debated issues regarding the name of the next Note and the choice of display has now been resolved. The next Note will be called Note 7 instead of Note 6, even though it is the sixth iteration in the series. Also, there will be no flat screen variant of the Note 7 at release, but only one version with a curved/Edge display.


To top it all off, if there was any doubt in anyone's mind regarding the actual shape and form of the upcoming Note, it has been cleared by Olixar's online listings. Olixar has listed three NovaShield covers for the Galaxy Note 7 in Blue Leather, Carbon Fibre Gold and Red Leather. Interestingly enough, the listings clearly show the cases wrapped around a white Note 7 with a curve display and a S-Pen slot at the bottom right.
