Was able to download! Verizon's easter egg.

A few moments ago I donwloaded the Samsung Internet app on my SGS4 Verizon and after open it took me to a Yahoo finance page then I tapped back and took me to tigerdirect site, after tapping on browser box for to enter a new web site address popped up a quick access list of web sites like Google, AOL mobile, Insider`s, Dictionary, Accuweather, Yelp, ESPN, YouTube, Yahoo. You can edit quick access. I typed androidcentral.com and reached it fast. I will continue trying it to see how it works finally.

I suggest you to make a try too.

I am pretty sure my Note 5 was compatible...LOL not 100% sure tho.

It has always been on the note line because some s pen features can be used with it.

I had loaded the apk on my phone, and now when I got Samsung Internet I am getting the buttons for uninstall and open. So I guess it's now compatible with my phone too, lol.

I'm on Verizon also. I have the Galaxy S5 with OS 5.0. Found it in the Google Play Store but it said it is not compatible with my phone. But if you read about it.....it states......

"The 4th version of Samsung Internet brings lots of new and exciting features.
This update is available for Galaxy S7 Edge, S7, Note5, S6 Edge+, S6 Edge, S6, S6 Active, Note4, S5, S5 Neo, S5 Active, S5 Sports, S5 LTE A, Note3, S4, S4 Duos, S4 Active, S4 LTE A, A7, A8, A5x, A7x, and A9x with Android 5.0 and above."

The S5 is listed! This really sucks!!


EDIT: I just signed in with another account on my S5 for the Google Play Store and NOW I was able to download it. Weird.....really weird. Will check the browser out and see how I like it.

All of my Chrome bookmarks synced to the Samsung browser. Just make sure "sync internet" is checked off in the Samsung Account settings.

It is. Doesn't work for me, bummer. Discovered a work around at least by opening the HTML file and saving it to the Quick Access page. Better than nothing.

Don't know what I did, but I was finally able to download it last night. First it wasn't supported, then it was, weird! Anyway, I can't believe how fast the browser is. It blows chrome and firefox out of the water.

Anyone who has both, how is the battery life using the Samsung browser compared to Chrome?

 

[Jeff Saul]

I was able to download and install it on S6 no problem from the link posted.

Can someone tell me what this app does that Chrome doesn't? Is Samsung Internet better?

Well compared to the opera browser i used, the samsung gives me a lot more battery life.

 

[uncannyzebra]

I was finally able to download too! Has anyone figured out a way to open new tabs in the background?

 

[edubb256]

Question - could I save my Chrome bookmarks as an HTML file to my SD card then import them into the Samsung browser?

I think a better solution, if you use Chrome on the desktop is to install the Samsung Sync extension to Chrome. That will keep you Chrome bookmarks synced with the Samsung browser.

After 1 week of using the Samsung browser it definitely uses more battery than Chrome. I'll have to test chrome this week to record the difference.

Really? I would have thought it'd be the other way around.

Installed Samsung internet browser and ad block on my Edge this am. Installed it directly from google play store app on my Edge. I think the Samsung browser is noticeably faster than Chrome.

 

[bigslam123]

I just went to the play store on my computer, and it was indeed available to install on my Verizon S7 Edge. And it works perfectly.

i was able to install the Samsung Internet browser directly from the Play Store on my Verizon S7 Edge. But if I'm reading things correctly, I dont get the adblock built in, you have to install that separately?

 

[ClintRo]

Correct... you download it and install it separately.
