Verizon Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, Tab 4 10.1 Get Updates to 5.1.1 With Stagefright Patches

Verizon is pushing a handful of Android 5.1.1 updates this afternoon to the Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy Tab 4 10.1. Those updates, as you might have guessed, also include “Android security patches” for Stagefright.

Outside of the security stuff, the 5.1.1 update for the Galaxy S6 and Edge adds caller name ID to Advanced Calling 1.0, fixes a bunch of bugs, lets you turn the parallax wallpaper mode on or off, and adds a quick camera exposure setting. Hopefully, it doesn’t completely destroy the phone’s performance like the T-Mobile 5.1.1 update did.

The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are looking at builds of G920VVRU3BOG5 and G925VVRU3BOG5, respectively. Verizon posted the changelogs for them today, so I would imagine that the updates will begin rolling out tonight or tomorrow.

As for the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1, you are looking at a build of T537VVRU3BOG1 and all sorts of new changes. To see them all, check through the changelog below.

Fallout Shelter Now Available on Google Play

After a long wait, users on Google Play are crying out, “Finally!” as Fallout Shelter is now officially available on Google Play. Priced at completely free to download, players attempt to create the ideal post-nuclear Vault for “dwellers,” which are people who live in your underground Vault trying to escape the elements above ground.

As the leader, you are tasked with pretty much everything to keep the Vault habitable. You will need to fix up and upgrade your Vault, send dwellers outside to gather supplies, and even arrange relationships to help populate what is left of the world. Yes, it’s an odd game, but totally fun.

Fallout Shelter is free to download, but does feature in-app purchases. These IAPs are priced from $0.99 to $19.99.

Go grab it!

Here is the Samsung Gear S2 on Wrist

This afternoon, just as Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge+, and Gear S2 talk had begun to calm, Samsung posted a fashion forward lookbook of all the products. We can admit that we don’t necessarily need more beauty shots of the two phones from earlier, but Samsung did toss in a couple of new shots of their round smartwatch on wrist and in hand of a couple of models. Who doesn’t want more unreleased product imagery?

The images don’t necessarily tell us anything new in terms of features or tech, but they do show a better shot of the band and overall design. It’s sleek, that’s for sure. By no means does it look ridiculously oversized, like some of the previous smartwatches released in the wild. One shot shoes a silver watch body with white strap, while the other could include a black strap, though it’s impossible to tell since the photo is in black and white.

Overall, the watch looks nice. Unfortunately, this thing will probably be tied exclusively to Samsung devices, so those without a Galaxy device won’t have a chance at owning one anyway.

Below are the full images without the models cropped, for those interested. If you want even higher-res goods, hit up the source link for the full lookbook.

Thursday Poll: Which New Phone are You Buying?

Within the last month, we have been introduced to four new flagship phones – the Moto X Pure Edition, OnePlus 2, Galaxy Note 5, and Galaxy S6 Edge+. While those phones will either be here in days or a couple of weeks, we also are expecting new Nexus devices within the next few months. Toss in the iPhones that should be here next month and this really is a pretty incredible time to be in the market for a new smartphone.

We’ll have time for official reviews of each as we receive them to hopefully help you decide, but if you were deciding today, which phone would you buy?

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Samsung Teased Its New Gear S2 Round Smartwatch Today

That right there, is the new Samsung Gear S2, the Korean company’s next round smartwatch that will be unveiled on September 3 in Berlin at the IFA conference. Samsung showed a quick teaser video of the watch today, during its Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge+ event. I don’t want to say that it stole the show, but it sure has people talking.

The video was quick, but it showed a new UI (probably Tizen-based) that looks more Apple Watch-ish than Android Wear. It’s heavily black, with round icons that sure mimic that terrible app launcher screen from the Apple Watch. Samsung did show that the apps can be accessed via rotating bezel, which could be a play on Apple’s rotating digital crown. The video also showed the watch taking a heartbeat, timing a workout, motivational prompts to move, weather, world clocks, and a handful of watch faces.

As for the body, we don’t exactly know if this is what the watch will look like. My guess is that it will closely resemble the round metallic watch seen here or Samsung wouldn’t have even bothered to include one at all. The watch appears to be made of metal, doesn’t have much bezel, and is 100% round. It looks tightly put together, unlike LG’s Watch Urbane, which is a disgusting monster of a timepiece, and might look quite clean on wrist.

Here are a bunch of screenshots from the clip:
