We know Samsung is going to be at MWC 2017, but they probably won’t be showing off the Galaxy S8, but reports have come in and said Samsung will instead be showcasing their AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality). Developed by Samsung C-Labs, there are four projects in total which follows Relúm?no, Monitorless, VuildUs, and traVRer.

Today, a new robot cleaner was presented at the 2017 Samsung Southeast Asia and Oceania Forum in Singapore by Samsung Electronics. Dubbed as the VR7000 (note - not the virtual reality VR). What sets this robot cleaner apart from others is featuring a more powerful suction and a slim design, measuring at a height of 97mm, is 28% slimmer than previous Samsung robot vacuums.

2017 is still some time away, but we are already getting the rumours for the Samsung Galaxy S8. The latest rumour we just received is that the smaller Samsung flagship will be featuring a 4K display, or about 2160 x 3840 pixels for VR applications.

Aside from the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, Samsung also announced their Samsung Gear VR for the Galaxy Note 7. Powered by Oculus Rift VR, the Gear VR may be made for the Note 7 but it is also backward compatible with other Samsung devices like the Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy S7. No Malaysia release dates but we expect it to be coupled with the Galaxy Note 7 when it arrives on 19 August 2016.

We are just within 48 hours from the official launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, and we have one last leak before the launch. A new report has shared the (supposedly) final specs list for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, as well as the first looks of the new Samsung Gear VR for the phone.

We are still waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to be launched, and now news of the next Samsung Galaxy S series is out. The Samsung Galaxy S8 is set to be launched next year, and it is rumoured to be designed around getting DreamVR verification and certification.
