Can't install the Samsung Browser from the Play Store??? :(

zachchen1996

The Samsung Browser (called Samsung Internet for Android in the Play Store) is my favorite browser, it is much faster and smoother than chrome (or any other browser available on android) and I used it everyday when I had the S6 Edge. I just got my S7 Edge and to my shock and dismay I get a "Your device isn't compatible with this version." message when I go to the apps page in the Play Store. The weird thing is every Galaxy S7 Edge I played with in Best Buy has the Samsung Browser. Verizon please fix this bug! I despise chrome and can't live without the Samsung Browser!

your device is so new they might not be geared up for yet, hang in there.

i love chrome, whatever is on my pc is mirrored to the phone.

Did you check Samsung own store?

Tidbits

Just some information. The T-Mobile, and AT&T versions it even says not compatible.

zachchen1996

Yes I checked the galaxy apps store and it is not there.

I played with the S7 Edge on display in Best Buy earlier this week and it had the Samsung browser on it.

Tidbits

Yes I am aware, but if you go to the App Store with those devices it even says it's not compatible. That tells me even if it is installed or not it will not be updated or able to be installed until Samsung makes it able to.

Try Firefox. I really like it.

I cant believe i am paying almost a thousand dollars for a phone and Verizon is the only carrier that does not have the option to install or use the Samsung browser. I might have to return my phones and switch carrier.

Tidbits

Did you read the thread?

PJ1974

Whats your point? T-mobile and AT&T variants of the Samsung S7 has the browser pre-installed. Samsung browser has specific features to be used with Samsung devises that chrome does not utilize.

Tidbits

You didn't read the thread and try to understand the thread. Block C trumps your theory

bearone21

what features are offered??

As of 3/21/16 the browser was available for Verizon customers.

zachchen1996

So you were able to install it on your S7 Edge? Still can't on mine. :P

Tidbits

The international one just got updated. None on the T-Mobile version.

I was able to install the browser yesterday afternoon around 4 pm (central time). I was searching for a solution to fix the slow page loadng issue I was having with Chrome and in the search results it had a link to the Samsung browser via the Google Play Store. I hit install and low and behold it worked. I checked the date of their latest update and it said 3/21/16. It loads pages super fast. The only issue I have is it doesn't have a settings option for text scaling. This makes it a pain when trying to read a website with small print. You can zoom in but then you have to scroll side to side to read it all.

kcinmo

And yes to the question, I'm using the Verizon S7 Edge.

PJ1974

I can't install from play store, doesn't give me the option?

Leahx1127

I was able to download on mine as of three days ago

PJ1974

I was able to this weekend, give it a couple days and checks again

My S4 auto updated a day or two ago. I'm still trying to figure out what is what.
