Galaxy Tab S2 renders show likely new design

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

Earlier this week we got a first look at the Galaxy Tab S2 thanks to Twitter tipster @OnLeaks (AKA Steve Hemmerstoffer). Now the French tech blogger is back with two new images of the device and a handful of fresh details.

Before we go any further, we’ll note that these are just renders created by an independent team based on leaked information. Hemmerstoffer, who has a solid track record leaking new gadgets, says the info is trustworthy. Still, we’d treat these rumors with a grain of salt until actual photos of the device start to surface.

Moving on, the Galaxy Tab S2 appears to sport a microSD slot for adding extra storage alongside its SIM slot. It also features a new design that takes some inspiration from the Galaxy S6. Specifically around the edges, which look more machined than they did on the original Galaxy Tab S. As for specs, the upcoming high-end tablet is expected to pack an octa-core Exynos processor, 3GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel front-facing camera, 32GB of built-in storage and run Android 5.0.2 Lollipop out of the box.

Based on earlier leaks, we’re expecting the Galaxy Tab S2 to come in 9.7-inch and 8-inch variants. The device should also be significantly slimmer than last year’s model, coming in at between 5.5 and 5.9mm thick.

With tablet sales dropping across the board Samsung may have trouble convincing anyone to pick up a pricey new Android slate. Still, we’re excited to see how the company can improve on what was already a very impressive first-generation product.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Gears of War leakers punished by Microsoft

Footage of the Gears of War remaster currently in production leaked this week . Microsoft took swift action as a result, banning and suspending the accounts and consoles of the people who broke NDA. When you sign up to be a beta tester on very early projects like these, you sign a Nondisclosure Agreement. These NDAs are usually pretty tight and make clear what you are and aren’t allowed to talk about and what the consequences might be for breaking the agreement. In the case of these leaks, it seems that the leak actually went against not only the NDA the users in question signed when they started working with the firm handling the testing but against Microsoft’s End User License Agreement as well. The firm, VMC, sent out a letter to all its testers in the wake of the leak, stating that Microsoft has permanently disabled the Xbox Live accounts of the users in question, as well as any accounts unfortunate enough to be on the system at the time. Additionally, the console itself has be
