What’s even more exciting is that this phone is equipped with a fingerprint sensor on the back, it introduces us to a new voice assistant called “Bixby” which works much the Apple Siri to help you out with things. How cool is that?

In case you’re also planning to get one of these phones, you must know how to backup your data and restore your phone when the need arises.
We carry our world in our smartphones. We do not use diaries to write down telephone numbers. We store it on our mobiles! We click photos smartly with our great smartphone cameras and don't feel the need to carry around our DSLR or digitals.
Then there is no need to mention about music! We have let go of the mp3 players and rely on our phones to supply us with our food for the soul. Indeed, the items stored on our mobiles are very important and near and dear to us!
