Introducing the

Just got a Samsung Galaxy device? Then discover how hard
it can work on your behalf
Smartphones and tablets could be considered something of a beauty and
the beast of the modern age. They are certainly beautiful to look at, many
boasting sleek and stylish designs that are comfortable to hold and jaw-
dropping in terms of design. And the sheer amount of functionality that
is crammed into their compact units is nothing short of incredible.
However, with such astounding wonder comes the beastly
downside that we simply can’t stop staring at them – they
are just so distracting! If you read on, we’ll outline exactly
why you’ll ind it hard to put your Galaxy device down.
Whether it’s because of the look and feel of your
smartphone or tablet, the intuitive operating
system or the huge number of apps you
can download and install, before too
long you’ll be hooked.

Hardware
Galaxy devices are versatile micro-computers that are capable of
managing every aspect of your life – and there’s a model to suit
everyone. The Samsung Galaxy S7 is poised to take over as the
company’s lagship device, boasting exquisite design, an ultra-
responsive interface, an impeccably sharp display and lightning-
quick charging to keep it all topped up. The S7, along with the S6
Edge, also runs the latest Android operating system, which crams
even more functionality into your device. But while older models of
Galaxy smartphones may be limited to the version of the Android
OS they can run, they still boast a range of great features to make
communicating and managing your life as efortless as possible.
If you prefer a bigger screen to work remotely or enjoy a ilm then
the Galaxy Tab range is perfect. The dimensions of these devices
vary, and include a 10.5-inch screen down to a smaller, but no less
staggering 8.4-inch display. Finally there is the Galaxy Note range,
which is geared towards working. The Galaxy Note Edge even has a
curved screen, the ‘edge’ of which displays all of your notiications.
