Samsung Galaxy S6 international giveaway!


Welcome to the Sunday Giveaway, the place where we giveaway a new Android phone or tablet each and every Sunday.

A big congratulations to last week’s winner of the Nexus 9 giveaway Charles B. from the USA.

This week we are giving away the new Samsung Galaxy S6!

The Samsung Galaxy S6 has landed, bringing with it a much needed injection of premium materials. Trading in its typical plastic design language, the latest Galaxy S family member features an aluminum frame sandwiched between a glass front and back.

Aesthetics are a major upgrade for the Galaxy S6, but that’s far from all that’s on offer. The phone also has a cutting-edge Exynos 7420 processor inside with 3GB RAM, and stunning 5.1-inch QHD display and a solid 16MP camera with OIS technology.

Samsung doesn’t stop there, the Galaxy S6 also sees a somewhat scaled back Touchwiz with a new theming app and considerably less Samsung apps installed by default.

Bottom-line, the Galaxy S6 takes all of what we love about the S series and catapults both the design language and software forward, making this easily the most exciting Galaxy S to date.

What we’re using: How AC editors approach Android photography


We’ve spent some time talking about photography and Android. The two things go together very well, and most of us want to take the best pictures we can when we pull out our phone to take one.

Here at AC, we’re all Android fans at heart — just like you are. We want the same things you do out of the camera on our phones, and we want the best pictures we can get. Again — just like everyone reading this. We get to try and use more Android phones than most folks due to the nature of our job, but because we’re Android fans we all have a favorite when it comes to features like the camera. Join us as we take a minute to go around the table and talk about how we do Android photography.

Lumia 435 now available from Microsoft Ireland


Following launches at other retailers and it’s British counterpart, Microsoft has put the Lumia 435 up for sale from its Irish online store now for €79. That’s a little higher than we’ve seen the phone for sale in other countries since launch, though Irish buyers have been limited on opportunities thus far with some pretty outrageous pricing to boot.

Google’s Nexus Player is finally available to pre-order in the UK


Nexus_Player_456

While Google’s Nexus Player has been available in the states for a while now, those of us across the pond have waited patiently to get our grubby little hands on one. Finally, it appears that our wait is about to end thanks to Amazon(UK).

Amazon (UK) have put up a pre-order page for the Asus built Nexus Player, with a price tag of £79 ($119) that includes free shipping. According to the listing, Amazon will ship the Nexus Player after the device is released on March 26th. The £79 ($119) price tag gets you the remote and the player, with the added bonus that the Nexus Player is in the process of being updated to Android 5.1. If you aren’t sure what the Nexus Player is all about, we have a brief refresher on its capabilities below:

  • Googlecast ready – Cast your favourite entertainment apps such as Plex, Netflix or YouTube, etc. from your Android or iOS device, Mac, Windows computer or Chromebook straight to your TV
  • Content is synchronised between devices, meaning that you can start watching your favourite program on your TV and finish watching on your tablet without missing a beat.
  • You can search for content by pressing the microphone button and saying the name of the content you want to watch, the Nexus Player will do the searching for you.

The £79 price tag matches the pricing of Amazon’s Fire TV offering while carrying the usual price increase UK dwellers see when compared to the US price. This is the pre-order price though, and it might not be the last price on march 26th when it is released for shipping. What do you think? Is £79 too much? Did you lose patience and buy the Fire TV or have you been waiting patiently for the Nexus Player to arrive in the UK? Let us know in the comments below or at our forums.
