Take selfies and photos more conveniently
Thanks to the large Cover Screen, it’s easy to switch between camera modes and timers, set dimensions, or decide which photos to keep. For instance, you take a selfie in portrait mode, zoom in on the small details to check the result, and select your favorite photos without having to open your phone.
In order to take a selfie with the rear camera, you can also use the outer display to check the smile and pose. The camera’s Super Stabilization feature ensures smooth shots even on the move, while Auto Framing doesn’t leave anyone out of the portrait.
With Nightography’s enhanced features to optimize low-light shots and 10X Digital Zoom, you can still explore your creativity anywhere, anytime, and from any angle. You can also choose from a variety of clocks or graphic frames, in addition to defining widgets to access various information.
Match your personality and your looks
Another great customization differential is the new Flipsuit Cover which, in addition to protecting your device, supports a changeable NFC card. In addition to your usual features like checking notifications or accessing quick settings, you can now browse your call and chat history.
Reply to messages, control music and more
Reply to messages without having to open your smartphone: The QWERTY keyboard is completely simple to use and makes checking and responding to phone calls or messages even easier. With the Flex Screen, you can also check and control widgets including weather, stock market, and music.

Your Galaxy phone’s Quick Panel can also be used to control air conditioning and check the remaining range from the device. Vehicles can also be added to the connected SmartThings ecosystem for effortless monitoring and control.
“Through our collaboration with Hyundai and Kia, customers will experience the convenience of SmartThings not only at home but also in their vehicles, transcending space,” said Paul Cheun, President, CTO of DX Division.

A new Necro Trojan has been stealthily infiltrating millions of Android devices through Play Store apps. Benqu’s Wuta Camera and Max Browser were confirmed to have been affected by the Android malware Trojan, putting millions of users’ data at risk.
Mod versions of WhatsApp, Spotify, and Minecraft are also suspected to have included the new Android malware Trojan. These applications are usually distributed on unofficial websites and app stores, hence, their reach can not be quantified.
Google is seemingly aware of the Trojan and the apps housing it, and it is currently investigating the issue. This kind of flaw can download and execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to subscription fraud, and route malicious traffic.
We highly recommend using apps downloaded only from Google Play or Galaxy Store. In case you’ve sideloaded any mod app, you should uninstall it immediately. Also, if you are the user of the two affected apps, uninstall is advised.
Benqu’s Wuta Camera
It has more than 10 million downloads, which contained the Necro Trojan from version 6.3.2.148 (July 18) through version 6.3.6.148 (August 20).
Max Browser
Google has now removed Max Browser from the Play Store, which had over 1 million installs. BleepingComputer reported that its latest version 1.2.0 still houses the malware.
