Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 edge get pink treatment

Pink is the new black, and you’ve got Apple to thank.

Ever since rose gold was added to the iPhone 6S roster last year, the color has made its way to a range of devices from a host of manufacturers. In the last month alone we’ve seen rose-gold phones from Huawei, OPPO and Vivo, and just this week, Apple announced a new rose-gold MacBook also.

Fierce Apple rival Samsung has also shown some rose-gold love. Earlier this year, it announced special editions of its Gear S2 smartwatch and Galaxy Note 5 phablet, both sporting the trendy new color.

Soon, its flagship will be available in rose gold also, except that Samsung isn’t calling it rose gold. The official color is called “pink gold,” which is perfectly fine because we’ve been calling our rose-gold iPhones pink anyway.

The pink S7 and S7 edge went on sale in Korea today April 20th, and will make their way to select markets soon. It isn’t clear which countries will get the pink S7s, we’re told it’s usually a decision made locally by respective Samsung business units, so if you want one, better let them know.

Samsung says the new color scheme is “intended to soothe and incorporate a touch of gentleness, radiance and sophistication to the smartphones’ design.”

Horizon Forbidden West will get a PC version next year

Complete Edition drops on the PS5 next week

Horizon Forbidden West

Patient gamers are about to see the fruits of their waiting. If you skipped Horizon Forbidden West on the PlayStation 5, you have a new chance to grab the title and its DLC on another platform. The game, along with the Burning Shores DLC, is coming to Steam and the Epic Games Store next year.

Though the announcement of the PC version is sudden, its existence is hardly a surprise. The game’s predecessor, Horizon Zero Dawn, also came out for PC. At the time, the game was part of Sony’s initial push to bring its formerly exclusive titles to other platforms. Next year, Forbidden West continues the run after enjoying an exclusive period with the PlayStation 5.

Horizon Forbidden West also continues the story of Aloy after the events of Horizon Zero Dawn. The title takes on newer, more extreme locales. It also features new mechanical beasts to hunt and tame.

Both the Steam and the Epic Games Store pages for the game do not reveal when exactly the version will drop. They only say “2024” as the release date.

However, if you want to play both the base game and the DLC in one package, Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is dropping on the PlayStation 5 next week on October 4. Besides the game, it will also have a digital art book and the soundtrack.
