Samsung Galaxy S7 Oreo review: What to expect from your final software update
After what feels like an inordinately long wait, many versions of the Galaxy S7 have received their Android 8.0 Oreo update. Considering that the phone launched back on Android 6.0 marshmallow, Oreo is the final major platform update for this line, bringing it up to the Galaxy S9's software level before being left to live out the rest of its life on it.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Not Eligible For 50 GB Dropbox Offer On AT&T Or Verizon
Although it isn't a new feature, one of Samsung's software perks with the Galaxy S3 is the inclusion of 48 GB of free space in a Dropbox account, an offer that lasts two years. Unfortunately, according to an official Dropbox support page, some U.S. users won't have the option to take advantage of this free space. AT&T and Verizon have chosen to opt out of this promotion, though their reasoning is unclear. The page does mention these two carriers by name, and makes no mention of the promotion's availability on Sprint or T-Mobile, so there is still a chance that this offer may reach us stateside. It's possible AT&T and Verizon don't like the idea of users drinking down mobile data with large Dropbox accounts, but it's also within the realm of reason to speculate that AT&T and Verizon are preparing to offer cloud storage solutions of their own, and want to keep the competition away. Whatever the reason, it's probably going to make a lot of people upset. via Droid-Life Source: … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy S3 Not Eligible For 50 GB Dropbox Offer On AT&T Or Verizon
