Samsung today announced two new Android smartphones: the Galaxy J7 (2016) and Galaxy J5 (2016), both of which now show up over at the company's official Chinese website. Succeeding the Galaxy J7 and Galaxy J5 from last year, the new J series smartphones offer 5 MP front-facing cameras with LED flashes, so they should appeal to users who take a lot of selfies. On the back, the two handsets have 13 MP cameras (also with LED flashes). By the way, what initially looked like laser auto focus on both phones turned out to be just a rear speaker.

As its name suggests, the Galaxy J7 (2016) is the larger, and more powerful smartphone among the two. Sporting a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display with 1080 x 1920 pixels, the device relies on an octa-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz (this could be an Exynos 7870, though Samsung has yet to confirm that). The J7 (2016) further features LTE connectivity, NFC, 3 GB of RAM, 16 GB of expandable storage space, and a 3300 mAh battery. The device measures 151.7 x 76 x 7.8 mm, and weighs 170 grams.

The Galaxy J5 (2016) only sports a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED display with 720 x 1280 pixels, weighing 159 grams, and measuring 145.8 x 72.3 x 8.1 mm. The handset is powered by a quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, coming with just 2 GB of RAM, and a 3100 mAh battery. The rest of its features are similar to those of the J7.

Samsung will soon release the Galaxy J7 (2016) and J5 (2016) in China, but there's no word on the phones' prices. We don't know if the handsets will be launched in North America, though we must mention that the lower-end Galaxy J3 (2016) is already available to buy in the US - thus, the J7 and J5 could join it at some point. We'll let you know if that happens.

Samsung is pushing its Gear VR headset pretty heavily these days, giving it away to early adopters of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, and everyone else, like HTC or LG, hopes you will get on the virtual reality bandwagon soon enough. Well, not so fast, as one problem with current '3D' VR headsets is that you might go through the made-up worlds in front of your eyes swooshing like a ghost, but your body is not actually feeling the movements, so you are a kind of a spectator which can make you pretty dizzy.

The update that Spotify sent out for its Windows Phone app in February 2015 will be that app's final update. The music streamer has decided that it no longer is worth it to add the newest features for the small number of Windows Phone users. Yes, that hardy bunch will still have access to the app, but it will continue to fall behind the capabilities of the iOS and Android versions of Spotify.

Today, we're going to take a look at the cream of the smartphone crop as we try to figure out which smartphones offer the best slow-motion video capture. 

In the past year or so, a new trend has emerged in the premium sector of the smartphone market. No, this time around, we're not talking about the fingerprint scanner craze. Instead, we're talking about slow motion videos. 

In theory, the process is simple: capture video at the highest possible resolution and frame rate, and when the playing speed is lowered at the usual speed of 30 frames per second (fps), the objects in the video appear to be moving slower for a Matrix-like effect.

Yesterday, we showed you three new ads for the Samsung Galaxy S7 that starred rapper Lil Wayne. Many of you had strong feelings about the commercials. So when one of our loyal readers sent us the link to a South Korean advertisement for the Galaxy S7, we decided to show it to you as a way to see the difference in how the same phone is marketed in two different countries.
