Galaxy S7 flagship duo rumored to be already under testing at AT&T

According to the usually reliable leakster @evleaks, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is already being tested in the US. Specifically, he said that two variants of the handset (SM-G930A and SM-G935A) - which should be the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge - are under testing at AT&T.

The revelation adds weight to a recent rumor suggesting the flagship device(s) would be announced on February 21 2016 - just a day before next year's Mobile World Congress.

As for the specs, there's not much known at the moment, although there have been rumors that the device would sport a magnesium build, feature a USB Type-C port, and will come with3D Touch-like features. A recent report also suggested that half of the Galaxy S7 units would be powered by the South Korean company's next generation Exynos 8890 chipset, while the other half would feature Snapdragon 820.

Live images of the Samsung Galaxy A5 and A7 successors leaked

Samsung's Galaxy A-series are due for an update, the earlier ones now approaching the ripe old age of 12 months. There have been indications that the next-gen mid-range models with a premium build are in the works, and things have gotten to a point where we're now being treated to a few live photos of the successors to the Galaxy A5 and A7.

The two smartphones have been brought up to check on current upmarket Samsung design, featuring a flat glass rear panel, a lot like the Galaxy S6 generation. Unlike the truly premium handsets, however, the future Galaxy A5 (2016) and A7 (2016) will have nothing but a single-LED flash next to the prominent camera hump. Obviously a heart-rate sensor is out of the question in this segment, but the news is that Samsung has relocated the loudspeaker, likely to the bottom of the devices.

The front sees fewer changes, especially on the smaller A5 model. Apart from the rearrangement of the sensors around the earpiece, the most notable difference is the taller home button, hinting at a fingerprint sensor, which has already made its way to the A-series with the A8 and yet-to-be-released A9. The images appear to show a 2.5D front glass on the face of the Galaxy A7 (2016), but not on the A5 (2016), an odd discrepancy with an older leak.

If the naming is any indication, we'd expect the two models to be released no earlier than January next year - bang on time for the A7 to meet its one-year update deadline, and a couple of months late as far as the A5 is concerned.

The LG G3 will start getting the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update towards the mid of the next month - between December 16 and 18.

This was revealed by a new report out of Poland, saying that the update is already in the last stage of testing (or is even ready, according to an LG Poland executive, whose tweet was referenced by the report).

The report also notes that just like the LG G4, the Marshmallow update for the G3 will also be first rolled out in Poland, followed by other regions worldwide.  source
