Pokemon Go hits 500 million downloads milestone

Mobile-gaming sensation Pokemon Go has hit yet another milestone - it has been installed over 500 million times worldwide. This was revealed by the Pokemon Company and Niantic in an official press release earlier today.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 is a media creation and a consumption nexus too. It's one of few mobiles that can display HDR video (an up and coming tech for 4K TVs). With the Gear 360, it can also snap VR-ready panoramas too.

Other accessories come into play too. The phablet's 3,500mAh battery is paired with two new power saving modes and can use an optional wireless quick charger for quick cable-free top-ups. Active users have the Gear IconX wireless headphones and the Gear Fit 2 smart band to look forward to (and you can score the Fit 2 for free!). Also, the S Pen works underwater, so activities are not limited to dry land.

Yes, the Galaxy Note7 is the first Note to get waterproofed - it holds an IP68 certification.
