Galaxy S5 and other Samsung phones will have 560 ppi displays next year launches

Think the 441 ppi display on the Galaxy S4 is pretty stunning? Just wait until next year when Samsung plans to dazzle (and possibly confuse) your retinas with incredible 560 ppi WQHD panels. The 2560×1440 displays that Samsung says are on the way will pack nearly as many pixels (3.6 million vs. 4 million) into your smartphone as Apple managed to fit into the new MacBook Pro. Obviously the effect is slightly different at 13 or 15 inches than it will be in the 5-inch range. What’s perhaps even more amazing is that Samsung also told the audience at its 2013 Analyst Day that it plans on shipping 4K displays in their phones by 2015. That’s right. In less than two years the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5 will have twice the resolution of today’s 1080p models.

Looking back, though, it’s really just the way smartphones have been trending for the last couple of years. The Galaxy S2 arrived in the spring of 2011 with a humble 4-inch, 480×800 pixel display. The evolution to today’s 1080p displays was actually a slightly bigger leap than what’s coming. And while Samsung didn’t make any specific promises about flexible displays they did take the time to point out that they own 33% of all flexible display-related patents. In total, Samsung has around 10,000 display patents in its portfolio. Also coming next year from Samsung: 64-bit Exynos processors. They’ll play a very important role, too, since pushing all those extra pixels is going to require a decent amount of computing power.

LG G Flex phone bend and not break

You probably know that the LG G Flex and Samsung Galaxy Round have something in common: their curved displays. The G Flex has a special little trick up its sleeve that sets it apart, however. It can physically flex without breaking.

Lay the G Flex down screen-first on a flat surface and you can actually push on its back hard enough to flatten it out without damaging the phone. Not visibly, anyway.

No, it’s really not bending all that much… but would you want to try bending your iPhone 5S or Galaxy Note 3 like this?

This still isn’t the kind of thing you probably want to do on an ongoing basis. While the self-healing back and arched display on G Flex can clearly tolerate the abuse for the duration of a demo video or two, the other internal components might not be as forgiving.

And although LG’s been working on its flexible battery for a while now, more than a few people are bound to be squeamish about repeatedly bending their smartphone’s most volatile component.

So while the Galaxy Round’s curved display has been widely criticized for being little more a gimmick by many it’s clear that the LG G Flex actually offers some very clear benefits.

Real innovation in smartphones isn’t quite as common as it used to be, so it’s nice to see something from a manufacturer like LG that really is new, different, and — perhaps most importantly — a real improvement.

Samsung Galaxy Gear quick thoughts: What it’s like to use today’s smartest smartwatch

Samsung Galaxy Gear quick thoughts: What it’s like to use today’s smartest smartwatch

The Galaxy Gear smartwatch’s release date is this week so, ahead of that point, I took the time to test it out. I did so alongside Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3 smartphone and the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) tablet. The three are inextricably linked as the Galaxy Gear only works with the Galaxy Note 3 or the Note 10.1 (for now), and they share a common release window here in the US.



To get a good look at the Galaxy Gear in action, check out the gallery above. Once you have an idea of how it works, the video below will add some context and walk through the smartwatch’s interesting, but somewhat limited, feature set. After that I’ll chime in with some quick observations.




Setting up the Galaxy Gear with the Note 3 was easy enough. You pair the two and then after that you’ll never again have to think about the connection between the two. The watch will give you an alert when the phone is out of range. That shouldn’t be a problem though, as the range is excellent. The watch looks sharp, but it’s not comfortable. The length of the face means that it just doesn’t sit well on the wrist. The band isn’t that bad, but that’s not good enough, as it’s not replaceable. Speaking of the band, on the bottom of it is a big metal bulge that appears to be a speaker. It’s not a problem when you are wearing it, but try to use a laptop and your wrist will have to sit well above the palm rest. Plus you’ll have some uncomfortable metal-on-metal action.

The camera works surprisingly well. The placement take some getting used to, but after that it’s pretty convenient. That said, you essentially are carrying around a covert camera, which could get you in trouble now and then. After you create an image or video it’s super easy to transfer it over to your phone. Android even creates a dedicated Galaxy Gear folder. The Galaxy smartphone only has a single button. This is only used for activating it and getting back to the home screen, which means you’re using swipe controls for everything. If you take your time and don’t swipe too fast this works well enough. Even so, navigating the watch’s menus feels slow. Here are the things I found the watch useful for: Telling time, checking the temperature, recording voice memos, media controls, calculating steps with a pedometer, viewing notifications, using the stopwatch and timer, checking the weather. Here are the things I can’t really imagine using a smartwatch for: taking pictures, recording video, making calls, viewing an image gallery, checking my calendar, viewing call logs, reviewing archived notifications. The battery life doesn’t appear to be too bad. The reported battery life of 25 hours, or 5 hours of continuous use, seems both accurate and acceptable to me. Basically you’d want to just charge the watch alongside your phone every night or so. Sure, that’s a lot for a watch, but given how much our smartphones has trained us to this behavior it’s not bad. As for the 5 hours of usage time — I find it highly unlikely you’d hit that in a single day. Checking a notification or taking an image takes just seconds and any calls you take on this will likely be short.

Here is an image taken with the watch while it was on my wrist. I can’t complain about the quality given the small size of the sensor and the challenge of placing it on the band.


Finally, some brief closing thoughts: At $300 I think the Galaxy Gear is a cool toy, but unfortunately the sweet gadgety goodness of the smartwatch is defeated by the facts that this thing is clunky, uncomfortable, and orange (OK, not all the models are orange, but still… it’s neon orange). I really believe that Samsung did a respectable job here, they just were limited by what could be done with today’s tech and what is a feasible price. Given how expensive watches can be, I wonder if it would have made sense to increase the price and deliver a better experience, if that’s something Samsung could have pulled off.

Ultimately I think that the Galaxy Gear is an interesting, non-catastrophic product, but it’s not in line with my priorities. I’m not a watch guy, but if I was I’d need a replaceable band, for it to be comfortable enough that I’d forget I was wearing it, it would have to be somewhat inconspicuous, and I’d happily trade off a number features for size and battery life.

For those reasons I think an e-paper based product that’s slightly less slick, but ultimately more usable would be a better fit for me and many other people. That said, I respect Samsung’s ability to tackle a serious design challenge and offer up a passably good, everything-but-the-kitchen sink smartwatch for this price. Now they just need to get it to work with more phones (tablet’s don’t really matter here) so that it can be taken seriously.

Samsung Galaxy gear full review

  SAMSUNG GALAXY GEAR
         FULL        REVIEW

Samsung isn’t the first company to build a smartwatch, but there’s no question that the Galaxy Gear is the most highly-anticipated entrant into the category to date. Now that it’s here, does the Galaxy Gear live up to the hype? Reviewers across the web have had some time to evaluate Samsung’s Android-powered watch. What do they think of it? Unsurprisingly, it’s a mixed bag — though there is some consensus on a few points. Take the Galaxy Gear’s price tag, for example. Everyone from PCmag to Wired to Engadget to Fox News agrees that it’s a hard to recommend at $300. The Gear been praised as a well-built device with a premium feel, but limited compatibility (it only works with the Galaxy Note 3 for now) is a huge turn-off. If you look past the price tag, there are plenty of positives. The Galaxy Gear’s battery life is generally considered “better than expected.” It was noted that after a day of average use that the battery was still about 65% charged. On more active days, it still had about 30% remaining. Fox and ZDnet had similar experiences, with the former calling it “surprisingly decent.” AnandTech attempted to come up with an actual runtime. With the screen’s brightness set to 4 out of 5, they managed to squeeze out just over five hours of continuous use. That’s pretty impressive, considering how many individual interactions it should take to reach that total. Then again, it falls well short of the e-Ink Pebble — which only needs to be charged about once a week. That’s the price you pay for a bright, full-color OLED display, of course. That, and slight difficulty reading when you’re outside. Gizmodo notes that the Galaxy Gear can be tricky to use in direct sunlight, though it’s nice and readable in other conditions. The watch gets dinged again for its outside performance because it’s not waterproof. Yes, it can handle a little bit of forearm perspiration. No, you shouldn’t leave it on your wrist while you wash your hands or if you’re jogging out in the drizzle. At $300 the Gear ought to be waterproof — particularly when tech-heads are going to compare it to the waterproof, $149 Pebble. How about those voice commands? With no on-screen keyboard, S-Voice handles basic interactions with aplomb. Stuff like checking the weather, dictating text messages, and dialing a call is no problem for the Galaxy Gear. It can, however, be frustratingly slow –Wired says that it was often faster to pull the Note 3 out, unlock it, and send a message from there instead.
On a more positive note, the Galaxy Gear got several thumbs up for its humble 1.9-megapixel camera. It won’t capture any prize-winning photos for you, but it’ll do in a pinch. It also works nicely with Samsung’s S-Note app and with Evernote — which can handle stills and video as well as up to two minutes of audio from the Gear’s microphone.
All told, the Galaxy Gear is a decent effort from Samsung. For all but the most cutting-edge gadget lovers, however, the majority of reviewers say to wait for version 2.0… or at least to hold off until there are more apps and Samsung offers support for more phones.

Samsung is Claimed to Boost The Galaxy Note 3 Benchmarks to Show Better Performance

Samsung has been into news earlier this year for inflating the benchmark scores of the Exynos devices and this time the company might have also done the same with other versions of hardware as well. As reported by Ars Technica, the galaxy note 3 Snapdragon 800 version includes a code that allows the central processing unit cores to run at full speed during some benchmark tests. This allows the device to give a 20 percent higher score in any benchmark app, or the source says this is enough to claim an artificial large advantage over competitive devices like the G2. The website further says, there might also be graphics boost, we’ve asked Samsung for its take on the findings. Whether or not the company responds, we don’t envy its position. What do you think of this ?

Samsung Says First Gold S4 Was Sold Even Before The Gold iPhone Was Announced Rgyaan

Apple released its two new iPhone’s on 10th September 2013, iPhone 5c and 5s. iPhone 5s was launched with the new color ‘gold’ and since then, we have seen leaks for HTC phones going Gold but in the recent news we saw Samsung Galaxy S4 in gold color. On Friday, Samsung posted to the company’s blog, Samsung indirectly acknowledged the popularity of Apple’s new gold iPhone 5S by posting a gallery where they showed all the phones launched in gold color by them(including Gold S4 ). The blog said: “Everybody loves gold, which is why we sometimes make phones in that color. (Or sometimes even with actual gold for the body!) See below to check out some of the phones we’ve released in gold in the past” The blog post was likely crafted in response to voices on social media channels like Twitter that took Samsung to task for claiming (indirectly) earlier in the week that it had a gold smartphone on the market before the iPhone.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Announced With Improved S-Pen

Specifications Company/Brand Samsung Type Phablet OS Android 4.3 + TouchWiz Price TBA Announced August, 2013 Hype 5/5 Chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC Processor 1.9 GHz octa-core RAM 3GB Battery 3200 mAH Primary Camera 13 MP Secondary Camera 2.1 MP Video Capabilities Full HD recording @30fps Weight 168 grams Dimensions 6 Main Display 5.7-inch AMOLED; 1,920x1,080 pixels; 386.5ppi In-Built Storage 32GB / 64GB Special Features Dual Camera: Dual Shot / Dual Recording/ Dual Video Call Recording: UHD 30fps, Smooth motion (FHD 60fps), Slow motion (HD 120fps) Samsung has announced the Galaxy Note 3 smartphone, a device that promises to be demonstrably faster than its predecessor while keeping the tradition of being thinner, lighter and more compact than the Note II. The 5.7-inch device has been upgraded to 1920×1080 pixels, and at 168 grams and 8.3mm thick, it’s actually thinner and lighter than the Note II. It comes with a soft-touch, textured backing in three colours, black, white and pink. The backside of the Galaxy Note 3 features a 13-megapixel camera which is capable of 4K video recording and a faux leather cover. Sandwiched in-between those parts is a 2.3Ghz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC with 3GB of RAM, 32GB/64GB storage expandable up to 64GB and a 3,200mAh battery. As expected, it runs on Android 4.3 with TouchWIZ. “We introduced the original Galaxy Note in 2011 and launched a whole new smart device category. The undeniable success of the Galaxy Note strengthened our conviction that consumers want higher quality features for smart devices and they want those new features to make their lives better,” said JK Shin, CEO and President of IT & Mobile Division at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a powerful, original approach that enables users to tell the stories of their lives through dynamic and seamless expressions of their passions across work, play and life experiences. With a simple click of the S Pen button, users can unlock opportunities for self-expression, features that transform everyday activities into extraordinary events and access to new experiences delivered to them on Note 3’s larger screen”. The Note 3 also comes with a few interesting software features, including Air Command, an on-screen portal to four specific features: Action Memo - Quick handwritten notes that can be converted into actions. For example, you can write out someone’s name, phone number and address and the software will automatically parse the data and add him or her to your address book. Scrapbook - Basically a mobile Evernote Web Clipper, this allows you to grab pieces of web page — text or photo — and save it in various notebooks Screen Write – Full screen memos with annotations S Finder – Finds content online or in the phone just by entering keywords Pen Window - Arguably the most interesting piece of the puzzle, it allows users to open a separate app in a window size of your choosing, overlaid on top of another app. For example, if you’re chatting about expenses with your wife or husband in the SMS app, you can overlay a calculator on top and perform the addition without leaving the app. There’s also a new and improved Multi Window feature, which now allows for data sharing and interaction between apps. Samsung has also done plenty of work to the S-Pen. The stylus is now more a part of the Galaxy Note 3 than ever before. ‘The S-Pen is now the key that unlocks all the power, functionality and features of the Galaxy Note 3.’ Samsung detailed the following new attributes of its S-Pen at launch: Action Memo allows users to handwrite a note and automatically execute a function or convert that handwritten information into formatted content. Action Memo can instantly initiate a call, add to contacts, look up an address on a map, search the web, save a task to a to-do list, and more Air Command – hold the S-Pen on the Galaxy Note 3’s display and it brings up five Quick Commands in a circular menu. The idea here is to allow for quick note taking from anywhere in the Galaxy Note 3’s UX. Scrapbook enables users to organise or track down content and information from various sources including the web, YouTube and Gallery in one place so that users can easily look back at collected content all at once. When consumers save content for future use, Scrapbook also collects source material or URLs allowing them to easily refer back to the original source The Screen Write feature captures the full screen image of the current page on the device and allows users to write comments or additional information onto the captured image S Finder allows users to expansively search for content on their device regardless of the type. By putting in keywords or filters such as date, location and content type, users can search related documents, events, communication threads, and even the Help page – all in one place. In addition, users can also search for hand-written content in their Notes and memo applications, as well as symbols and formulas Pen Window allows users to use the S Pen not only for drawing sketches or writing notes, but now also for opening a small application window for a true multitasking experience. Simply by drawing a window of any size, anywhere on the screen, users can easily and quickly open another application window such as YouTube, calculator or Browser without pausing current activity on the screen The new Galaxy Note 3 is slated to begin rolling out to consumers on Sept. 25, and Samsung says that it’ll eventually hit 140 countries around the globe. This new Note is expected to be available worldwide in October. Stay tuned for pricing information! Expect an iGyaan style review soon!

Micromax Canvas Doodle 2 A240 vs Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 : Fight

Samsung has been the leader in the “phablet” segment for quite some time, but Indian brands are trying to change that and fast. With the iBerry Auxus Nuclea N1 coming awfully close to the title. But, today its the Micromax Canvas Doodle 2 A240 vs Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 ,the Micromax Canvas Doodle 2 is almost the same when it comes to screen size and dimensions. There are pros and cons on both devices, and in most cases users tend to choose Samsung over any other brand, for the sheer brand value and service network. The Micromax Canvas Doodle 2 has one major disadvantage in all of this, the inability to accept microSD cards for storage expansion. We saw that with just a few games and music we ran out of space which can be really crucial on Smartphones these days. However the Canvas Doodle 2 wins hands down against the Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 in a few departments including cameras, where the doodle 2 carries a 12 + 5 MP combo the Mega 5.8 carries a 8 +1.9 MP combo. The display on the Micromax Canvas Doodle 2 also leaves Samsung Galaxy mega in the pixel dust, with a 1280 x 720 pixel on a 5.7 Doodle 2 inch vs a 960 x 550 px on a 5.8 inch Galaxy Mega 5.8. The Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 is not ready to go down without a fight simply because, what it loses in the hardware department it brings in an additional 0.5 GB of RAM and the TouchWiz experience which some like and some hate. Most can also argue that the heavy to use TouchWiz itself will be responsible for additional RAM requirements.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Pre Release Leaks,Rumors and Specifications

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the next big daddy smartphone for the company after the big Note 2 launched last year at IFA Berlin. In a similar fashion at IFA 2013, Samsung will hold their Unpacked event where they plan to unveil a few of the goodies intended for the next generation of technology. The Galaxy Note 3 is the most prominent upcoming Smartphone and the world has a lot of expectations from Samsung when it comes to the Note 3, and it mostly has to do with the build quality. Lets start off with things we know for sure, The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will launch on September 4th at the Unpacked event in Berlin, Germany. The design of the Note 3, is going to be a mix of the Galaxy S4 and the original Note and Note 2. The new Note will still carry an S Pen with more enhanced features. The new Galaxy Note 3 is expected to be slimmer and slightly lighter than the last edition. Press render Hardware and Specs According to Rumors, the new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will have a 1920 x 1080p 5.7-inch display of the super Amoled Variety, a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 processor or an eight-core Exynos 5 Octa chipset depending on region, 3GB of RAM and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. The display here will get an increase from the 5.5 inch we saw last year, but the size of the Note 3 may not be that much more thanks to the “less bezel” design implemented in the new S4 which is expected to be incorporated in the Galaxy Note 3. A 13-megapixel camera setup with optical image stabilization along side a 5 MP front camera with autofocus and HD video calling. Although a lot of sources claim that the Note 3 will come in 32 Gb and 64 GB variants, a 16GB variant will help reduce costs, especially in countries like India where the Dollar prices are skyrocketing. The Battery is expected to be bumped up to a 3200 mAh battery providing a considerable increase in battery life. Features and UI If the new Note 3 does get Android 4.3, you can expect a newer version of Touchwiz UI along side some of the features carried over from the Galaxy S4 including gestures and Air View among many other new features that Samsung will design to make this flagship more popular. You can also expect the camera features like dual shot and capture, sound and shot and animated photo. Reports suggest that a host of new features are being designed for the new S-Pen that may also feature smart calling thanks to a secondary button on the Pen hardware. What To / Not To Expected The Galaxy Note 3 is not expected to be a unibody smartphone, with metal chassis, despite many claims. Although, a move in this direction could possibly put all questions about build quality to rest. The Global version of the Note 3 may not come with LTE, while those tied to carriers can expect an LTE variant, those who buy the Exynos based Note 3 will be greeted with 3G only speeds. The Galaxy Note 3 may be launched in a dual sim variant for markets like Korea, China and India. The Galaxy Note 3 may also be launched in a Google edition, however the S Pen would then become redundant, unless they make a suite of apps available for the hardware. Expect the Galaxy Note 3 in India as early as October for prices upwards of Rs. 45000 for the basic variant which we expect will be 16 GB. Samsung is also planning to pair up the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 launch with several new cases and accessories along with a new smart watch dubbed “Galaxy Gear”.

Leaked : Samsung Galaxy Gear Specifications

The finer details of Samsung’s upcoming smartwatch are finally starting to leak out. If you’re into extending technology down to your arm, specifically Samsung technology, you might want to consider wrapping the Galaxy Gear around your wrist. Rumours are that Samsung will unveil this device on September 4th at their upcoming Unpacked event. The Galaxy Gear will be a ‘smartphone companion’ and new reports indicate that it’ll sport a 2.5-inch OLED full colour display with a resolution of 320 x 320, plus have the usual touchscreen gestures and accelerometer, but will lack text-input commands. Under the face the Galaxy Gear reportedly has a dual-core 1.5GHz Exynos 4212 processor and Mali-400MP4 GPU. In addition, GigaOM reports that the watch has a camera that is integrated into the strap and even has tiny speakers in the clasp of the watch, plus built-in NFC to allow for bump-to-sync and authenticate. The watch uses Bluetooth 4.0 LE to connect with smartphones for connectivity. As GigaOM reports, the Galaxy Gear watches that have been seeded with the developers are based on Android 4.1 (and in some cases 4.2) and there is very tight integration and syncing between the watch and the phones and tablets. For instance, if one has swiped through notifications, stops at an email blurb and then picks up the smartphone, the phone will display that email message attached to the blurb you were looking at on the watch. The company will feature integration with Twitter and Facebook at launch. The watch will connect to a Samsung watch manager app on the phone to manage the connection between watch and the phone. The connection will use Samsung’s proprietary accessory protocol and will use Bluetooth LE as the network transport. Apparently if there is any app running on the watch, it is its own discreet endpoint and will work directly with the servers. The Galaxy Gear will use apps ‘not from the Google Play store, but instead from the Samsung App store.” Possibly another signal that Samsung is reducing its need on Google’s Android OS – this could mean the watch will only work with Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets. However, popular social media apps like Facebook and Twitter will be heavily integrated, along with a collection of health apps – possibly SHealth – to take on competing watches like the Nike Fuelband. The only major items missing now are the completed design, battery life, and yes, pricing and availability.

Rumour : Galaxy Note 3 Will Start Shipping In Early September

Samsung is preparing for their big Unpacked event on September 4th. This is when the Galaxy Note 3 and the rumoured Galaxy Gear smartwatch will be unveiled. Specs of both these Android-powered devices have leaked online, but today a new report by reputable site SamMobile has revealed possible shipping dates. If the insider information is to be believed, we should expect the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to be available for purchase in September. The company’s third-gen phablet is expected to start shipping in Week 36, which goes from September 2 to September 8. Actual market availability usually takes about a week after the units start leaving the factories, so mid-September seems like a a likely target. As for the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch, it’s going to hit store shelves in October or Week 40 to be specific (September 30 – October 6). Of course, none of these dates are confirmed and SamMobile has a reputable track record of nailing Samsung products and specs, and states there might be “a delay of a week or two may happen, depending on region.” Another note on the Note 3 states that Samsung will apparently drop the 16GB version and offer a base model of the Galaxy Note 3 with 32GB of internal storage. Other notable rumoured specs of the Note 3 are its 5.68-inch full HD Super AMOLED (1920 x 1080 resolution, 1.8GHz Octa-core Exynos 5420 processor, 3GB RAM, 13MP camera with OIS, LTE connectivity, 3,200 mAh battery and runs Android OS 4.3 Jelly Bean.

Samsung Working On 12.2" And 10" Tablets With 2,560 x 1,600 Resolution Panels

Samsung has just released three new tablets in the form of the entry-level Galaxy Tab 3 7.0, the mid-range Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and the in-the-middle Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. While all are clear improvements over their predecessors, both in terms of appearance and software, they still lack the high-end components of some of their Galaxy Note counterparts. According to evleaks, Samsung is to release a 12.2-inch Galaxy Note variant with an Exynos 5 Octa chip and high-resolution screen of 2560×1600 pixels, along with an S-Pen. This will likely appeal to the stationary tablet user, someone who wants a large, sharp display for sketching or drafting. Its model number is slated to be SM-P900. Another tablet, a more manageable 10-inch variant, will likely join the Galaxy Tab family, and have a similar resolution of 2560×1600 pixels — this is the same density as the Nexus 10 — along with an ultra-fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC. Model number P600. Expect these tablets to debut in the coming months, as Samsung continues to saturate the phone and tablet market with every conceivable price range and screen size. There also exists the possibility that both of these tablets may have 3GB of RAM onboard. Right now no alleged pictures of both tablets have leaked and it is not known when Samsung plans on making them official.
