HP Omen monitor looks so good with my HP Omen Desktop. The design and style is great and excellent monitor for gaming as it features with 1ms response time and 144Hz refresh rate.

The picture is very clear and bright. Thanks to 144Hz refresh rate. It has headphone holder which is really cool design. All HDMI, Display Port and USB cables were provided in the box.

The performance and features of this monitor are awesome. However there are few design issues. There is no way to adjust the height of the monitor and viewing is not great from bottom and sides. If you are planning to mount in a wall, it may not provide good viewing experience.
If you are looking cost effective solid widescreen with 1080p resolution, this could be the monitor for you.

Better Sound with major flaws in design
on May 26, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Setup is very easy and connected using Bluetooth as well as NFC. The including cable for charging and higher-quality listening is a USB-A to micro USB.
I connected this headset wirelessly to my iPad Air & my android phone and they worked flawlessly. Setup is quick and easy with Bluetooth or NFC. I was streaming audio from Spotify, Plex, and even watched several movies wearing these. The sound quality is not that great compare to other high end headphones. I used these headphones wired or wireless, which means I get the versatility of wireless.
I had issues with this headset especially using with wireless option. The signal is very week and if i leave the room the signal breaks continuously and cut off. Sometimes it gives excessive static sound if the phone is inside the pocket. Also, when you listen the songs, the person next to you can hear the songs as well which is not the case in other high end headphones. I really want privacy when listening songs and watching movies especially while travelling.
Pros
The first headphone to employ Audio Technica's Pure Digital Drive system, which keeps the audio signal circuit completely digital, from listening device to driver, where the analog conversion takes place. The pulsed controlled digital signal is transferred directly to the driver’s voice calls, resulting in precise diaphragm movement for exceptionally accurate sound reproduction.
Unique housing architecture keeps the electric circuitry separate from the acoustic space, achieving precise airflow control and superb audio clarity.
Internal battery provides up to 15 hours of continuous use on a full charge. Headphones reproduce high-resolution digital sources up to 96 kHz/24-bit via wired USB connection, and up to 48 kHz/24-bit wirelessly.
Cons
The touch-sensitive button (used to control forward, backward, pause, play, etc.) is slightly confusing. The volume control switch is directly next to this button, either i am pausing or fast-forwarding my music when all I really wanted to do adjust the volume. It is really poor design.
No USB C cable for charging / listening. if you have new laptop with USB C port only, you may not be able to use this headset with laptop.
No hard, protective carrying case.
I wanted to use this headset due to Pure Digital Drive system. However, i will stick to my SONY MDR-1000X noise cancelling headset due to solid build and sound quality.

Outstanding and Educational for Kids Project
on May 25, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I got this for my 8 year old daughter who has interest in things STEM and in music. She was completely engaged, went through the exercise and put it together with minimal support. The setup is nice and easy with iPhone and step by step process given in the phone app was very helpful for her to complete this project less than 30 mins.
The box came with various parts. One is a magnet and a coil (attached to the controller which interfaces with iPhone or iPad) with which you can do experiments and learn about magnetic fields, frequency and amplitude. It is pretty cool. And then you tape the coil to any old box you happen to have around (like the one it came in) and you created a speaker and it plays music. It was truly a magical moment and took my daughter by surprise which made the lesson all the more wonderful. Two is actually building a speaker (here the controller is assembled into a plastic box with the speaker assembly (comes assembled)). So she ends up with a speaker in her room that she can listen to.
The cool thing is you can control the lights using phone static and dancing mode. There are lot of design covers to go on the top of speakers and kids can change the look every week. This product made me feel like I was a kid again with my daughter building it. Truly 100% AWESOME AND OUTSTANDING JOB BOSE! I can't say enough about the learning experience for both my daughter and I. Well worth every penny and I will be buying one for my relatives kids as a gift for summer project.
The sound quality is great and design looks stunning with different colors. Now, on the complaints side this speaker needs to be powered up using power cable and there is no android app to configure the speakers. Definitely worth to buy for kids who has interest in STEM and music.

Excellent Gaming PC with cheap accessories
on May 9, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
HP OMEN is an excellent gaming PC came with i7-7700 Intel 7th generation processor coupled with 16GB DDR4 RAM, 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD (No SSD), latest wireless connectivity, Bluetooth 4.2 and amazing NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 with dedicated 8GB GDDR5 memory graphics card. This PC handled almost all games without any glitch.
The case is very slick and i love the color changing LED panel and it is treat to watch. Inside there is plenty of room for additional drives and RAM. One really nice feature is that the 16GB of memory came in two DIMM's, leaving another two memory slots free if you'd like to expand the memory to 32GB.
GTX 1070 is amazing graphics card and worth at least $400 itself. It comes with three DisplayPort ports and one HDMI port. I was able to use my ASUS 32" 4K monitor to pair up with the PC, I must admit that the graphics are simply superb.
I had existing PC Lenovo P900 (with GTX 980) and i must admit that this PC exceeded expectations with processer and graphics performance at least 40% margin without SSD.
I am using this as HTPC also connected with Epson 5030UB projector with Plex Media Server, Kodi and CyberLink Power DVD setup. Due to high end graphics card, the picture quality is really crystal clear on big screen for Blu-ray Discs and 4K videos.
On the complaints side, the included HP-branded mouse and keyboard are extremely cheap, and the keyboard is so bad that I had to replace it with my existing gaming keyboard. If you can replace the keyboard and mouse with your own, this PC is a really good for gaming or HTPC.
My other complaint on this unit came with 1TB 7200 RPM hard drive and there is no SSD. My only upgrade is putting a SSD drive and this PC will serve for a long time for my gaming needs.
All-in-all, this a great pre-configured gaming PC at a great price.

Good Trimmer with one flaw on charger
on May 8, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I really like this trimmer. It is very quiet with sharp blades and it requires less passes than your average trimmer. Wet operation allows for easy rinsing after use. It is not too expensive and it is well made for the price. It is compact and does not take much space for travel.
Charging stand provides convenient storage and features with charge status indicator, which glows red while charging. It provides up to 30 minutes of cordless operation. It is easy to clean under running water.
Wall mounted charger is a terrible design. It is too bulky to mount above a 3-outlet adapter. Outlet space is a premium in most bathrooms, I am not sure why panasonic thought this was a good idea. There is no tray to catch any of the hair.

More issues than configurations. Not ready yet
on April 28, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
This router is only half baked. It should not be bought or sold until major issues, gaps, and bugs are fixed in the software. The marketing material and the promise of user-device management are very appealing and mentioned that coverage up to 15,000 square feet. I have replaced my existing mesh Wi-Fi router with this one and i am really disappointed with speed test results in both frequencies.
The packing was good and not that great compare to other routers. Setup was mostly a breeze, just follow the prompts in the app and you're up and running using mobile apps either in iOS or Android.
Confusing between the phone apps and the web dashboard. After a simple setup on the app other features require the web to setup. When using the web to set things like radio basic settings it says you can't because the app is managing them, but the app has no place to change the settings, so you need to delete all your app data and reinstall to make small changes to the router configuration which is very time consuming exercise
User setup is easy on the app, as is associating devices. But, all other setup, user definition, device naming, associations, rules, etc. are stored only on that phone. A second parent cannot control and/or if the phone breaks you have to set it all up again. Also, if you need to make a change you need to erase all the data and start over.
It has built in AVG protection. Alerts only worked about 50% of the time for me (sample of 20+ devices). Port forwarding for things like alarms, nest only have one port and doesn't support the second (local) port.
Hardware configuration is very good. However, the app / web software and Wi-Fi results are very disappointing. It is not allowing to use all special characters to create complex Wi-Fi password and password has to be less than 16 characters.
There are more issues, bugs, and annoyances. I have tested and used many routers in past few years and did not except many issues and poor Wi-Fi speed 300$ router. I was getting 150mbps+ in Wi-Fi all around the house with mesh Wi-Fi router + satellite combo. With Ally plus, i am getting only 25+ mbps. I have tested in 10 different locations inside the house and the Wi-Fi speed is really disappointing.
I have changed back to my old router after using it for a day. I would suggest to spend little more to buy other mesh Wi-Fi routers if you are looking for best Wi-Fi speed throughout the house instead of Ally Plus.

Light weight, Easy to use and amazing suction!
on March 19, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I received it several days ago. Assembly was very straightforward and took only 4–5 minutes . The manual provided to assemble with pictures were great. Moving the handle from the upright position to the sweeping position is much better than other vacuums. The vacuum extender reaches a full 12 stair steps easily.
The design of this vacuum is excellent and light, easy to use, versatile. We liked three in one feature of this vacuum and you can go from carpet to laminate floors with a push of a button.
It is amazing how much dander, fur, and other stuff it picks up. It is also more maneuverable and lighter than most vacuums I've used. It may not be lightest vacuum but because of maneuverability due to the ball, it is very easy to use. I have used it to vacuum my carpeted curving stairs, hard wood and tile floors. It works well on all floors without changing any settings for floor types. The convenience of the vacuum hose with attachments also allow me to get into my couch or detail the vertical part of the carpeted stairs.
I have used it in multiple places in my home and it worked flawlessly with no issues. The powerful suction pulls the dirt from far places. The canister is transparent and it will reveal how fast it fills. It empties without any need to contact the dust. The simple design of the attachments and detachable hose makes them useful. With low profile attachments, it becomes relatively easy to reach under the sofas and tables.
Key features
• The Dyson Ball Multi Floor 2 vacuum is light to maneuver and steers easily into difficult places. Instantly change direction with a turn of the wrist.
• Powerful suction across all floors - Cleans carpets, wood floors, vinyl and tile.
• Self-adjusting cleaner head - Active base plate automatically raises and lowers to seal in suction across all floors. Combined with a powerful motorized brush bar, it deep cleans dirt throughout the home
• Instant release wand - Wand and long-reach hose release in one smooth action, so it's easy to clean up high and under furniture.
• Radial Root Cyclone™ technology - Captures more microscopic dust than any other's cyclone.
• Hygienic bin emptying - Just push the button to release. No need to touch the dirt.
• Filter - HEPA Filter

Outstanding 2-in-One Tablet from Samsung
on March 19, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
There are not much Android tablets with premium specs in the market compare to Apple iPad, but Samsung is not ready to give up the fight with the release of high-end Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 with significantly updated specs, HDR screen and improved S Pen support. It is equally positioned with iPad Pro.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 screen has a 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display with support of HDR content and it matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution. Samsung Tab S3's screen size and resolution have not changed with pixel density of 264 pixels per inch. It has Super AMOLED display, for brighter, richer colors. The main upgrade over the Tab S2 is HDR content support. There is not a huge amount of HDR content yet, but once there is this it will be really helpful with Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. Another big change for this model is that there's no 8.0-inch option, Tab S3 only coming in a 9.7-inch size.
Tab S3 has metal and glass build with similar size to Tab S2. Samsung upgraded the design for the Galaxy Tab S3, replacing the soft plastic back of the Tab S2 with a glass one, but retaining the metal frame. The overall appearance like an oversized Samsung Galaxy S7.
While cameras are never the highlight of a tablet, Samsung Tab S3 came with 13MP back side camera and 5MP front facing camera with LED flash. It does include an autofocus and can record 4K video at 30fps.Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 came with 6,000mAh one and it can last up to 12 hours of video playback. I have used more than 10 hours without any issues. It supports fast charging via USB Type-C, so you shouldn't be waiting too long.
Tab S3 runs the latest major version of Android 7.0 overlaid with Samsung's own interface. It came with quad-core Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 only comes in one size - 32GB, but it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 256GB if you need more storage for apps and games.
Beyond the core specifications, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is packed full of features, including support for Samsung's S Pen stylus. This is the latest and greatest version of the stylus, with a smaller 0.7mm tip and increased pressure sensitivity. It also works with S Pen features like Screen Off Memo, which lets you take down notes without turning the screen on or launching an app. The Tab S3 also supports keyboards using a pogo connection, so all that along with the screen specification make this remarkably similar to the iPad Pro 9.7.
It has 4 stereo speakers tuned by AKG promises distortion free sounds. It came with fingerprint scanner and it supports Samsung Flow, which can sync notifications between your tablet and Galaxy handset.
I have listed the key specifications below
• 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash
• 6,000mAh battery with fast charging
• Supposedly lasts through 12 hours of video on one charge
• Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM
• Android 7.0 out of the box
• Just 32GB of storage, but microSD support of 256GB
• Supports S Pen stylus and keyboards
• Four stereo speakers tuned by AKG
• Fingerprint scanner
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash
• 6,000mAh battery with fast charging
• Supposedly lasts through 12 hours of video on one charge
• Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM
• Android 7.0 out of the box
• Just 32GB of storage, but microSD support of 256GB
• Supports S Pen stylus and keyboards
• Four stereo speakers tuned by AKG
• Fingerprint scanner
It is one of the best android tablet with premium features and equally matching iPad Pro. It worked really well with Samsung Book Cover Keyboard for accurate and comfort typing.

Must have add-on for office professionals
on March 18, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Logitech's newest Spotlight Advanced Presentation Remote let you click back and forth between slides without keeping your hand on a mouse, and some offer useful features like built-in laser pointers and even air mouse and trackball functionality. It is very sleek and most stylish one i have seen to date which allows you customize up to seven different functions, like scrolling through documents and volume control.
The Spotlight is elegant simple. It is a rounded aluminum wand that measures 5.2 inches long and 1.2 inches wide, available in various colors like gold, gray, and silver finishes. It only has three buttons, a large Next button, and two smaller Spotlight buttons the same color as the remote's body. A flat rectangle of rubberized material on the underside helps ensure a firm grip.
A wireless USB receiver fits into the bottom of the Spotlight and features a small rubber loop to easily pull it out. The receiver is standard USB and it plugs into your computer and connects to the Spotlight over a 2.4GHz wireless signal. A USB-C connector sits inside the recess for the receiver, letting you charge the Spotlight with the included 5.3-inch USB cable. Per Logitech, the remote can run for three hours after just one minute of charging, and can last for three months on a full charge. I have been using this remote for office presentations and battery lasted close to 2.5 hours. Spotlight comes with a leather carrying sleeve to protect the remote.
Spotlight can also connect to your PC over Bluetooth. Logitech says the remote has a range of up to 100 feet using Bluetooth 4.0 or the USB receiver. I tried with Bluetooth option and it works without any issues.
While the Spotlight has just three buttons, its motion-sensing air mouse function makes it a lot more flexible than a simple back/forward presentation remote. To use it as a mouse, just hold down the Spotlight button until the pointer appears on-screen, then wave the remote to move the pointer around. Release the Spotlight button to stop the pointer, then tap the button again to click.
You can't right-click using the Spotlight, but you can configure several other useful features for presentations, including cursor-enhancing modes that can completely replace a laser or telescoping pointer. Highlight darkens the screen except for a circle around the mouse pointer; Magnify magnifies the area of the screen around the pointer; and Circle simply draws a white circle around the pointer. These modes can be individually enabled or disabled when multiple modes are turned on, you can switch between them by double-tapping the Spotlight button.
The Logitech Spotlight feels very comfortable in hand, and the three-button design simplifies interacting with your computer during your presentation. The pointer enhancements are a fantastic and outstanding feature, with Magnify and Highlight really helpful in drawing the eye to what you want your audience to look at.
I have given some of the key features below.
Advanced Pointer System : Impress your audience and keep their attention with rich on-screen interaction available for the first time.
Highlight and Magnify : Draw more attention to important points. Simply point Spotlight and press a button to highlight or magnify any text or visual content on the screen.
On-Screen Cursor : Use it to play and pause videos or open links without missing a beat.
Universal compatibility : Spotlight works right out of the box with most devices, operating systems and presentation software - Windows, Mac OS, Powerpoint, Keynote, PDF, Google slides and Prezi.
100 ft. Wireless Range : Move freely and present with confidence even in the largest rooms. Connect via included USB receiver or Bluetooth Smart.
Logitech Presentation App : Download it a www.logitech.com/spotlight to quickly customize your remote with up to seven different functions.
Highlight and Magnify : Draw more attention to important points. Simply point Spotlight and press a button to highlight or magnify any text or visual content on the screen.

Logitech Presentation App : Download it a www.logitech.com/spotlight to quickly customize your remote with up to seven different functions.
Spotlight remote is an elegant device built for a very specific purpose. It's one of the most intuitive and powerful presentation remotes available in the market. However, $130 price tag is on higher side. If you give a lot of presentations, it is definitely worth to consider.

I bought this router to replace my perfectly working Asus RT-66R model. I wanted to change my router just to get bit more range in my new 2200sqft home. Prior to getting this router I have tried one of the best range extender Ampedwireless AE-20. It’s range was excellent, but connection was very much degraded and struggled to get connected at times though it was set up to clone settings from original router.
So, after reading few positive reviews on BBY and mixed reviews on amazon, I decided to give new Nighthawk R8000 a try. I am happy with its slightly improved range than Asus and very much disappointed with its 2.4Ghz performance. I have more than 15 years of network experience and I really don’t bother tech support unless until it is really out of my hand and hardware specific.
Here I am trying to do a fair comparison with two routers I have (Asus & Netgear) + sign means “better” and – signs means “poor”
Wired Connection:
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
- R8000 has fair wired connection with slight consistency issues.
Wireless 5.0 Ghz:
+ RT-66R has excellent consistent connection

I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
At this point I called customer service and it sounded like they kind of aware of the issue. With minimal trouble shooting and changing the channels to their recommended channels (01, 06, 09 & 11), there was no improvement. So they asked me to degrade from 600Mpbs to 289Mbps and it started working.
So technically now their claim of 3200Mbps became 2911Mbps.
Access Control:
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.

- R8000 access control only let you allow or deny connecting a particular device. You cannot decide what time it should be able to connect. – Major drawback for me.
Parental Control:
- RT-66R has poor parental control settings, but with an option to point DNS to OpenDNS we can achieve better parental control settings with their FREE offerings.
+R8000 – also use OpenDNS but with dedicated service assigned to netgear so that you can add bypass account also which can’t be done with OpenDNS free account. This is the only additional benefit I found with this router so far compared to RT-66R.
VPN:
+ RT-66R is also able to use OpenVPN with mobile access with their free App. I was abe to access local network using iOS and Android devices with no issues.

- R8000 – could not find any documentation about cloud access. Only information I found is about ReadyCloud and it is dedicated to Netgear NAS only. Another major setback for an expensive router.
Web GUI:
Though Netgear has a simple interface and easy to follow GUI, it lack modern look and feeling. I like Asus GUI better.

- Netgear – Though I received prompt customer service when I called, it was shocking to learn that the phone support is only available for 90 days of purchase, then you have to pay PREMIUM subscription to get phone support.
CONCLUSION:
I have thoroughly tested all important feature that I need. Rest of the features are generic to me and I am not bothered much about them.
I am sure this router with Dual 5.0Ghz network will be very useful for those who have new wireless devices. For me I have a lot of devices that depends on 2.4Ghz frequency such as smoke detectors, thermostat, laptop that connects to NAS for backup etc. and degraded and unreliable 2.4Ghz network make it absolutely worthless considering the amount I spent on this router.
I am seriously thinking to take this back to the store. I don’t see any point in spending almost double amount of money to get a couple of benefits and a lot of drawbacks and pay for a premium to get their phone support if needed to an overpriced product.
I would not recommend this router at its current price and it is unable to meet its original claims and comes with a premium phone support after 90 days.

There are not much Android tablets with premium specs in the market compare to Apple iPad, but Samsung is not ready to give up the fight with the release of high-end Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 with significantly updated specs, HDR screen and improved S Pen support. It is equally positioned with iPad Pro.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 screen has a 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display with support of HDR content and it matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution. Samsung Tab S3's screen size and resolution have not changed with pixel density of 264 pixels per inch. It has Super AMOLED display, for brighter, richer colors. The main upgrade over the Tab S2 is HDR content support. There is not a huge amount of HDR content yet, but once there is this it will be really helpful with Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. Another big change for this model is that there's no 8.0-inch option, Tab S3 only coming in a 9.7-inch size.
Tab S3 has metal and glass build with similar size to Tab S2. Samsung upgraded the design for the Galaxy Tab S3, replacing the soft plastic back of the Tab S2 with a glass one, but retaining the metal frame. The overall appearance like an oversized Samsung Galaxy S7.
While cameras are never the highlight of a tablet, Samsung Tab S3 came with 13MP back side camera and 5MP front facing camera with LED flash. It does include an autofocus and can record 4K video at 30fps.Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 came with 6,000mAh one and it can last up to 12 hours of video playback. I have used more than 10 hours without any issues. It supports fast charging via USB Type-C, so you shouldn't be waiting too long.
Tab S3 runs the latest major version of Android 7.0 overlaid with Samsung's own interface. It came with quad-core Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 only comes in one size - 32GB, but it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 256GB if you need more storage for apps and games.
Beyond the core specifications, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is packed full of features, including support for Samsung's S Pen stylus. This is the latest and greatest version of the stylus, with a smaller 0.7mm tip and increased pressure sensitivity. It also works with S Pen features like Screen Off Memo, which lets you take down notes without turning the screen on or launching an app. The Tab S3 also supports keyboards using a pogo connection, so all that along with the screen specification make this remarkably similar to the iPad Pro 9.7.
It has 4 stereo speakers tuned by AKG promises distortion free sounds. It came with fingerprint scanner and it supports Samsung Flow, which can sync notifications between your tablet and Galaxy handset.
I have listed the key specifications below
• 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash
• 6,000mAh battery with fast charging
• Supposedly lasts through 12 hours of video on one charge
• Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM
• Android 7.0 out of the box
• Just 32GB of storage, but microSD support of 256GB
• Supports S Pen stylus and keyboards
• Four stereo speakers tuned by AKG
• Fingerprint scanner
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash
• 6,000mAh battery with fast charging
• Supposedly lasts through 12 hours of video on one charge
• Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM
• Android 7.0 out of the box
• Just 32GB of storage, but microSD support of 256GB
• Supports S Pen stylus and keyboards
• Four stereo speakers tuned by AKG
• Fingerprint scanner
It is one of the best android tablet with premium features and equally matching iPad Pro. It worked really well with Samsung Book Cover Keyboard for accurate and comfort typing.

Hi Malack,
Apps can be downloaded from Google Play or Samsung Store. If you are looking for side loading apps from 3rd party, you can do that as well. It is similar like S2 with upgraded features.
