The phone Popping Vendor Popped up A Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Note 5

"When the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was released last year, I wished I had upgraded from my Note 3 but then I changed my mind." Mutheliso Phiri noted.

So Many Choices

Samsung as a phone dealer and manufacturer gives you so many choices that rarely serves you. If you are not tech savvy whats the point of been lost in a maze of quarterly upgrades that costs fortunes. And thats the biggest problem i have found with Samsung.

"Despite running on Jellybean 4.3 I do not believe the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is outdated yet because it does not give me any problems."

A look at the layout of Note 3 gives the user lesser differentiation with the upgrades. The software works fine and superb and shows a little difference with the KitKat and Lollipop as later versions.

The 'Milky Way' Galaxy
Since the launch of the Note 3 in October 2013 the following myriads of upmarket phones have been launched by Samsung in the shortest period:

Galaxy S3

• Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2.....December 2013 
• Samsung Galaxy S5........................April 2014 
• Samsung Galaxy Note 4.............October 2014 
• Samsung Galaxy S Duos 3..........August 2014 
• Samsung Galaxy Note 4........September 2014 
• Samsung Galaxy Alpha.........September 2014 
• Samsung Galaxy S5 plus.......November 2014
• Samsung Galaxy S6.......................April 2015 
• Samsung Galaxy Note Edge..........April 2015 
• Samsung Galaxy S6 Active............June 2015 

And only last week the following 

were launched:

Galaxy Note 5

• Samsung Galaxy Note 5.................................13 August 2015

• Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus......................13 August 2015 

The good news about the unveiling these new phones is that the Note 4, S6 and S6 Edge will become slightly more affordable.

I would like to get my hands on the new Note 5 to replace my Note 3 probably by next year when it becomes more affordable - (The Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus priced at approximately $700 a piece will likely cost above $1000 in Zambia)

Prevailing is the Galaxy S6 Edge in MTN and other branded stores is costing as much as 8000 Kwacha, a price pegged as such before the rapid depreciating Kwacha of the past 3 months

Threatsaurus - A Dictionary Of Malware - Social Networking

Computer threats keep multiplying everyday with sophistication.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

"Social networking websites allow you to communicate and share information. But they can also be used to spread malware and to steal personal information."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, continue to grow in popularity as attack vectors. Unscrupulous individuals can use information you post online to learn details about you that can be useful for social engineering or guessing the answers to security questions on other websites.

Easier Way For Malware!

Attackers may also compromise an account of a friend and use it to distribute malware or other malicious content. Be cautious about what links you click on. Make sure any computer you use to connect to the site is protected with the latest security software and patches. Use strong passwords and use separate passwords for each account. Take advantage of two factor authentication, if available. Be thoughtful about what you post online, and use available privacy settings to limit who can see your information.

Best Approach!
Be suspicious and look out for anything extraordinary even where none is, just don't be paranoid!
