If you’re a Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge owner, you now have access to some in-game perks for several games in the Google Play Store. Samsung is giving away exclusive content and premium perks as part of the new “Galaxy Game Pack,” all of which come free to S7 and S7 Edge owners.

There are a number of games available as part of the promotion, including popular games like Asphalt 8: Airborne and Clash of Kings. In both of those games, you will get a few extra freebies, such as the Class B car pack in Asphalt 8 and a bonus special pack in Clash of Kings. For a full list of the free games and in-game rewards, head here.

If you are an owner of the Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge, it is pretty easy to claim the gift. Simply head to the Google Play Store page for the Galaxy Game Pack, then start downloading the games. Keep in mind that the offer is only valid until January 1, so make sure you go through and get all the games you want before then.

The content is nice for owners of eligible devices. However, Samsung is going to have to push a lot harder if it wants to gain back the customer base it had before the Galaxy Note 7 debacle when some devices spontaneously caught fire while charging. Only time will tell what the future of Samsung’s smartphone business looks like. While we expect to see a Galaxy S8 in the next few months, we are a little less sure about whether Samsung will continue the Galaxy Note line or not.

Samsung Galaxy S24 users can now download a new software update. Although it’s not the update people have been waiting for, it’s still important.

According to SamMobile, a new software update is being rolled out for the carrier-locked versions of the Galaxy S24, S24 Plus, and S24 Ultra. The firmware version for this update is S92xUSQS4AXJA, and it includes the November 2024 security patch. This update addresses multiple security vulnerabilities, but does not introduce any new features. Instead, it resolves dozens of security issues identified in the previous software version.

Updating your Samsung Galaxy S25 could be easier than ever

When is the last time you updated your phone? Most people wait until it's time for bed, especially since updates can take upwards of an hour. No matter how cool the features might be, losing access to your phone for an extended period of time isn't fun. According to leaker Chun Bhai on X, the next Samsung flagship may come with a feature that makes updating easier and faster than ever.

This feature is called seamless updates. It allows the phone to download and install the update as a background process; you only need to restart your phone once it's finished to activate the update. Some phones have supported this feature for a while, but the only Samsung phone to currently support it is the Galaxy A55. The Galaxy S25 will be the first Samsung flagship to work with seamless updates.

The OnePlus 13 may have already killed the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
The white OnePlus 13.

Did OnePlus, in October 2024, just announce one of the best smartphones of 2025? It very well may have, because OnePlus has officially launched the OnePlus 13.

Well, sort of. The OnePlus 13 is now available in China, though it'll be a while before it comes to the U.S. and other parts of the world. Although it'll likely be December or January before you and I get our hands on the OnePlus 13, the wait should be worth it. The OnePlus 13 already looks like one of next year's best phones — and it may have simultaneously caused the premature death of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
