Samsung Galaxy S6 Themes Store - Hands on

 samsung


Last Friday we had been blessed with one of the most competitive android smart phones in the shape of Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. The major and most prominent change that TouchWiz has seen is the new themes store that was launched along with the handsets. Latest Samsung news reports that the company has begun accepting the third party themes in their Theme Store. In this article we aim to take a sneak peek at it.
The design for Galaxy S6 Theme Store is pretty much the same as to how Galaxy Apps is. However the store is sparse currently. There have been new themes added to the store which include Retro theme, Molang theme, Logo Juniors theme and a floral theme followed by a pink theme.
There is a separate category in the store with the name Peaceful theme which has some soothing themes such as Deer Dream, open-road Theme, spring theme and etc. Deer Dream and spring ones are the most striking themes despite how scarce the store is currently.
There is another category in the store which is dedicated to the illustrations and drawings. It also consists of Pixel Art theme. Others include a romantic theme, picnic theme and also the one where Trivial life is shown. An interesting factor to notice is that the pictures and themes have been drawn with hands instead of being generated from computers.
Samsung news reports that there other multiple themes which are available to be downloaded, such as “gorgeous themes with bright pink colors”, Rio theme, Forest theme and eye-catching Purple theme.
One of the most favorite one for anyone to have their eyes on is most likely to be Avengers one. As far as changing the themes are concerned, it is pretty simple. The user can choose the theme and tap Apply. Make sure that you are not needed to download the theme. Iron Man theme is of 19 MB.
Letting you customize the design and theme of the phone is one of the most favorite things for the users and Theme Store might be the major factor for Samsung and also for it to create it another business as the idea is unique for mobile manufacturing company to go for it. Surely there are not a lot of themes in the store but the phone have just been released and there can be additions in this regard since third parties can submit their themes on the store too. We might see Samsung adding the Theme Store in the phones coming in near future as well.

Samsung Claims Not Paying People To Attend Galaxy S6 Event In China




The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge release dates are making the rounds already. The phones had been launched in Mobile World Congress earlier this year. It is said that these phones are likely to be the flagships of what Samsung has produced up till now. It is also looking forward to a healthy and head-to-head competition with HTC One M9.
Recently, there had been rumors regarding Samsung paying the people to pretend being fans. Latest Samsung news reports that the tech giant has completely denied the report which points at it paying the people in order for them to pretend to be fans at the event for the launch of Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge phones in Shanghai.
A news company in Shanghai has declared that almost 1,000 of the attendees were the ones that had been traced by the recruiter. They were also paid 30 Yuan which is us $4.80 per hour of the total time they attended the conference for. The Shanghai based news informs that Beijing resided office of the tech giant vetted the first 20 paid personnel but that number had been significantly raised to approximately 500 fans. Samsung news today reports this claim “totally groundless and bogus” in its blog this morning.
The company expressed that there has not been the case that people were paid or recruited just for the sake of the conference and pretending to be fake fans. Furthermore, it said that there had been more than 1,100 attendees. This number included the officials from industry and the end users. These personnel had been formally invited by the company to Shanghai Culture Square, the place where the launch event had taken place. Also, Samsung said that they are still trying to find the roots from where such bogus news was brought up and also that The Paper verified the findings of the company and withdrew the erroneous story.
If we come to think of it, this is not the first time that the company had faced allegations and paid-for arguments. In 2013, the tech giant had been fined for paying the students and making them post critically offensive comments and views regarding smartphones by HTC. The company later had accused the external agency for this conduct. The agency of another agency had taken the responsibility of another gesture where developers had offered money in order to promote the company on Stack Overflow, a community belonging to developers.
However, in this recent case of accusation, Samsung has strongly replied with a denial. Regardless of the denial, such incidents are the highlights to what the big companies can do in order for their products to be the hit.
