samsung galaxy games pack s7 — Kārlis Dambrāns

If you’re a Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge owner, you now have access to some in-game perks for several games in the Google Play Store. Samsung is giving away exclusive content and premium perks as part of the new “Galaxy Game Pack,” all of which come free to S7 and S7 Edge owners.

There are a number of games available as part of the promotion, including popular games like Asphalt 8: Airborne and Clash of Kings. In both of those games, you will get a few extra freebies, such as the Class B car pack in Asphalt 8 and a bonus special pack in Clash of Kings. For a full list of the free games and in-game rewards, head here.

If you are an owner of the Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge, it is pretty easy to claim the gift. Simply head to the Google Play Store page for the Galaxy Game Pack, then start downloading the games. Keep in mind that the offer is only valid until January 1, so make sure you go through and get all the games you want before then.

The content is nice for owners of eligible devices. However, Samsung is going to have to push a lot harder if it wants to gain back the customer base it had before the Galaxy Note 7 debacle when some devices spontaneously caught fire while charging. Only time will tell what the future of Samsung’s smartphone business looks like. While we expect to see a Galaxy S8 in the next few months, we are a little less sure about whether Samsung will continue the Galaxy Note line or not.

5 things I want to see in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is definitely one of the best smartphones on the market right now, no doubt about that. You get incredible performance with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, plenty of RAM and storage, a whopping 200MP camera, two telephoto lenses for 3x and 5x optical zoom, S Pen integration, and more. It’s certainly an impressive package.

But it’s not perfect. In fact, some weaknesses could be improved in the next version, the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Here’s what I hope to see next year.

When is my phone getting Android 14? Here’s everything we know

Android 14 is out now, and as usual, the first to get it was Google's own Pixel phone family. Not to be undone, Samsung pushed out its version of Android 14 — One UI 6 — after a relatively short beta period and has seemingly now completed its Android 14 rollout. Nothing, the new phone company on the block, has done the same. Now, we're just waiting for more news from Motorola, who has become the stick in the mud holding everyone up.

If you're rocking an Android phone that is still stuck on an old build, here's everything we know about official Android 14 rollout plans for all major brands available in the U.S. market. We recommend using your device's Find on page function to pinpoint your device on this list.

For many people, a reason to upgrade their smartphone regularly is for the improved camera upgrades that companies include each year for flagship devices. We’re still early on in the year, and both Samsung and OnePlus have launched their next generation of flagship devices with the Galaxy S24 and OnePlus 12.

Both phones are powered with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip for fast performance, come with 8GB–16GB RAM, plenty of storage, and the latest version of Android 14. And to top things off, the cameras on both are impressive, with the OnePlus having slightly better specs.
