Galaxy active officially announced!

Welcome back guys, two weeks ago we posted about
the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active and what it may
have to offer, AT-T-Bound-Galaxy-S4-Active-Leaks-in-Press-Photojust follow the link to see more. This week we have some more news on this topic, the Active has officially been announced! To summarise last weeks post, the S4 Active promises to being us top end specs whilst being fully waterproof. It seems logical for Samsung, seeing as Sony recently brought out the Xperia S (which is fully waterproof) but is it just Samsung milking the Galaxy brand or a worthwhile purchase?

In terms of specs the Galaxy S4 Active is almost identical to the Galaxy S4 with a 5-inch Full HD display, 1.9GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, 2MP front camera and 2600mAh battery. One difference between the two however is the rear facing camera, with the Galaxy S4 Active sporting an 8MP snapper instead of the 13MP version on the standard handset. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active retains the 4G connection and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system. Thanks to the rugged features on the Galaxy S4 Active, which includes three physical buttons below the screen, the handset measures a slightly porkier 139.7 x 71.3 x 9.1 mm and weighs in at 151g, 21g more than the Galaxy S4.

Samsung News!

Samsung Galaxy S3 Custom CaseWelcome back guys,
incase you missed it, last week we touched on
rumours of aSamsung-Event-London new addition to the galaxy range. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active brings an upgrade to the S4 in the form of a rugged outer casing, physical buttons and a dust and water proof exterior. To see more of the Active just follow the blue link, we abolustely love the idea of a more rugged Galaxy device and look forward to its potential release. In other Samsung news they have scheduled a London launch event, invite shown top right, this will will hopefully unveil the secrecy behind the active but what else could it bring to the table?

The Samsung Premiere 2013 event will focus on its world-famous Galaxy brand, as well as the Ativ line, which is the company name for its Windows Phone, Windows 8 and Windows RT products. The event will take place at Earls Court in London and will begin at 2PM UK time. The media have already received their invites to the event, but everyone else can catch the news on the Samsung Mobile YouTube channel. The invites (pictured) also feature cryptically-cropped images of gadgets that may represent forthcoming smartphones, tablets, hybrids or laptops. We’ll have to wait and see. The event comes just over a week after Microsoft’s Build conference, the E3 gaming expo and Apple’s WWDC conference, so it is going to have to be some serious news to make the headlines!

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active

Welcome back guys! As you are all well aware by now the
Samsung Galaxy S4 has been released to the world and is active-gs4-1on sale globally as we type. What you may not know is that while the S4 wreaks havoc among the mobile industry, there are rumours of a bigger brother on the way. Make way for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, pictured to the right the device claims to be a dust and water proof upgrade of the S4. The image shown has come from GSM arena, a credible source among the mobile industry. Google also reveals that the internet is once again full of speculation surrounding the device. But what could we expect from the S4 Active?

According to the benchmark rumours, the device should come shipped with a 1.9GHz quad-core processor (most likely the Snapdragon 600), 2GB of RAM, a 5″ 1080p display at a pixel density of 480 and a Adreno 320 GPU. Pretty impressive specs but the main attraction of the device will no doubt be the rumoured water and dust proof qualities of the phone. It appears that all front-facing buttons are physical and slightly protrude from the bottom, a move that might have helped Samsung make it more resilient to the elements. As for that red backing, the four screws in the top and bottom corners add a nice rugged touch, but it does appear that the back is still removable if you look closely in the top left hand corner.

Blackberry Q10 Has Arrived!

Hi guys, this week we have a closer look at Blackberry’s latest
release, the Q10. We took our first look at this
device blackberry-q10-oficback in February when it was announced along side the Z10, to read our first article on this phone just follow the link, Blackberry Q10. Since then the Q10 has been released both in America and in the U.K. The U.K release was met with high demand, with Selfridges in London having having exclusivity for the first weekend, selling out of the device in just 2 hours. On April 29th Selfridges reportedly claimed that the Q10 was their fastest ever selling consumer technology device. There is without doubt demand for this phone, but will it help Blackberry to stay relevant?

The Q10 brings a half touch screen, half keyboard to the table, something that is very rare in the day and age of full touchscreen phones. But what else does it have to offer? well the Q10 may be outwardly very different from the first BlackBerry 10 device, the touchscreen Z10, but internally it’s pretty much the same device. The 1.5GHz dualcore Snapdragon S4 Plus processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, are all identical, along with the microSD card slot, 8-megapixel rear camera, and 2-megapixel front camera. The Q10 also has WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, along with a microHDMI port (which will need an adapter, not included, to plug into a regular HDMI input) alongside a microUSB port. the key difference between the two being the screen size. The Z10 comes in at 4.2-inch 1280 x 768 display, the Q10 shrinks that down to 3.1-inches and 720 x 720 resolution. Our Blackberry Z10 Custom Case is now available, just follow the link!

Samsung

Welcome back guys, to start this week off we’ve got another
Samsung round up for you! So as you probably are _66404755_66404411
aware of, Samsung are without doubt the biggest mobile manufacturer of our time. With handsets from the Samsung Galaxy S4 right down to the lower end with 7 of their 8 devices released this year being low end phones. This heavily contrasts with Apple and their strategy of one premium phone, but is this beginning to fail? Quarter 1 this year revealed a rise of 41% for Samsung’s profits and the first loss in the last ten years for Apple. The South Korean technology company made a net profit of 7.15 trillion won (around £4.2bn) for the period, up from 5.05 trillion won a year ago.

With the S4 released in America and on its way to the U.K very shortly, this is only set to rise. Analysts expect profits to rise further in the coming months. Bryan Ma, an analyst at IDC Asia Pacific, told Leisha Chi that the firm is doing “very very well”. Samsung senior Vice President states, “We may experience stiffer competition in the mobile business due to expansion of the mid- to low-end smartphone market,” is this a comment aimed at Apple’s future plans? We recently covered a potential low end smartphone for Apple here on our blog, just click the link to check it out. Plastic iPhone

Samsung Galaxy Note 3

So now the Galaxy S4 launch is out the way, it seems
we can look towards the next in Samsung’s line up for a
Galaxy-Note-2-Review-3-575x430
major product release. The Note series sports a range of 2 phones (phablets to be precise) that sport a whopping 5.3 inch screen size, hence the name phablet, phone and tablet. The Note 1 and 2 have had impressive sales figures. With the Note 2 recently eaching 5 million sales worldwide. So what exactly is in store for the next Note?

Sources in Korea report that Samsung is gearing up to outfit its next “phablet” with a flexible OLED display that will essentially equip the device with an “unbreakable” screen, according to European retailer 3G. This will be the first time we have seen OLED screens come to market in a Samsung device and the idea of a phone with an unbreakable screen sounds pretty cool to us!

Further rumours suggest that the device will feature Samsung’s famous Exynos 5 Octa quad-core processor as well as its Smart Scroll and Smart Pause eye-tracking technology. The latter rumour seems likely as its predecessor; the Galaxy Note 2 was equipped with the Smart Stay feature that prompts a device’s screen to remain on as long as its user is looking at it. Just as the Galaxy S3 has this feature, the upcoming Galaxy S4 is equipped with Smart Scroll and Smart Pause as well as Smart Stay. The device will also likely run Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie natively, as Google’s upcoming operating system will likely be unveiled at the Google I/O conference in May, with a release date projected for June or July.

Huawei Aluminium Casing

Welcome back guys, this week we are looking at Huawei
and a potential new release for the Chinese firm.
Back athuawei-edge-2 MWC this year they release the ascend P2, which is rumoured to be the world’s fastest 4G phone, to see more of that just follow the link. The P2 is not out just yet so claims of it being the world’s fastest are yet to be secured. Since they Huawei have released a range of mid-range handsets but rumours have suggested a high end aluminium device is on the way. As you all know by know HTC have release the One, this features a slick unibody Aluminium shell and although no sales figures are available just yet, it seems to have gone down well in the media. Are Huawei about to try and take on the likes of Apple and HTC with a new premium handset?

There was talk of a new phone from Huawei sporting the following specs; a 4.9-inch 1080 x 1920-pixel display, quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and a 13-megapixel camera. The handset will be sold in a 16GB and 32GB versions and will run on the latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. At a similar time the pictures above and below were leaked on to the internet, suggesting that the specs above will be located in an Aluminium shell? Who knows if this is part of the same phone, but sounds likely.

Smart Watches

So by now you have probably all heard of the pebble?
If not, it is Kickstarter’s most funded project to date,
raisingphoto-main an astonishing $10 million! Thats amazing and even more amazing when you consider their target was only $100,000. The Pebble is a smart watch, put simply, it connects to your Android or iPhone via bluetooth and allows you to receive alerts on your phone, such as text messages, tweets and GPS location data when your running or cycling, for example. Seeing as the Pebble campaign was launched in April last year it may seem like we are a little late with this one, but it is only recently that Kickstarter backers have began to get their hands on these watches! So the Pebble was successful, but is there room for more smartwatches and are they here to stay?

The Pebble sold 85,000 units from Kickstarter so there is no doubt there is a demand for these watches. However many people believe that smart watches are a bit of pointless accessory and are merely bridging the gap between smartphone and something much more exciting. Another factor against the smart watch is that they require regular charging. Forcing the user to remove the watch (every 3 days for the Pebble) to charge it up. The Bluetooth connection they require only drains the battery on your smartphone even faster.

However despite the probems, we have still seen rumours from both Samsung and Apple of potential smart watches. In February of this year rumours were flying around about a Samsung watch running Android, and potentially supporting some kind of e-reader, sounds ridiculous but who knows.
