Samsung's S Health App Now Available for Non-Galaxy Android Phones


Samsung's S Health app was released on Google Play earlier this year but was limited to Samsung Galaxy devices. Now, the South Korean manufacturer has rolled out an update to its S Health app adding support for non-Samsung Android smartphones.It's worth noting that S Health app until now was a feature available to Samsung devices only and came preloaded on high-end devices. The move to add support for non-Samsung phones could be connected to the Gear S2 smartwatch which is set to go on sale starting next month, and will also feature support for non-Samsung Android smartphones.

The S Health app is now available on Google Play and is compatible with any Android smartphone running Android 4.4 KitKat and above. The S Health app natively supports over 70 languages including English, French, and Chinese.

For those unaware, the S Health app is an all-in-one companion app that can track everyday activities, offer coaching to users for daily goals, and improve fitness with various training programs.

The new update rolling out to S Health app adds health tips to the dashboard; though it is limited to users in Korea, UK, and the US.

Other features added in the app include simplified food logging and portion changing; new setting added for screen lock password; improved location info accuracy during exercise (for Chinese market), and also brings support for all Samsung smartphones since Galaxy S III apart from non-Samsung Android smartphones. Samsung's S Health will be up against the Google Fit app that performs almost similar functions.

The iPhone 6S: Apple's latest smartphone


The iPhone 6S includes a new "3D Touch" feature 



Apple CEO Tim Cook has unveiled the newest iPhone models, the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus.

From the outside, the latest iPhones look similar to their predecessors. However, they have significant new capabilities. It has a 12-megapixel camera — an upgrade from the 8-megapixel camera in the iPhone 6 — and is capable of taking video in the ultra-high-definition 4k format. It also sports a new, more powerful A9 processor.

Prices for the iPhone 6S start at $649 for a model with 16 GB of storage. You can get 64 GB for $749 and 128 for $849. The larger iPhone 6S Plus models are $100 extra. Of course, many customers will get a big discount by signing a contract with a carrier. Apple is also offering a monthly leasing option. If you pay $32.45 per month, you can lease an entry-level 6S for a year and be eligible to upgrade to the next iPhone model in 2016.

The new phones go on sale for pre-orders on Saturday, and will begin shipping on September 25.

New iPhones feature new colors and upgraded materials

Apple upgrades the iPhone on a two-year cycle. In even-numbered years, the company does a major overhaul of the phone that involves a new design and may include a bigger screen. Then on odd-numbered years, Apple introduces incremental updates — like the iPhone 3GS, 4S, and 5S — that look the same on the outside but have faster chips on the inside and may have a few other new features.

Apple is following that pattern with the latest version of the iPhone. The iPhone 6S looks virtually identical to the iPhone 6, while the iPhone 6S Plus looks very similar to the iPhone 6 Plus.
