Phones / HTC Says The Samsung Galaxy S4 Is More Of The Same!!! by Thevenine(m): 7:22am On Mar 15, 2013 |
First it was Apple, then LG, and now we have HTC also trolling Samsung's Galaxy S 4 launch in New York. Before the doors opened at Radio City Music Hall, the Taiwanese company kindly gave out hot cocoa and snacks while showing off the One to folks lined up in the cold outside. This was followed by HTC's complementary entertainment during Samsung's event with a series of surprisingly relentless tweets -- one of which even bore the hash tag "#theNextBigFlop" to mock Samsung's "The Next Big Thing" slogan. Ouch. To wrap up the day, HTC's fresh CMO Ben Ho got in touch to say that the again-plastic Galaxy S 4 is just "more of the same," and that his company's "all-aluminum unibody HTC One" with "original cutting-edge technology, mouth- watering design and a premium feel" is really what people are after. Here's his full statement: "With a continuation of a plastic body, and a larger screen being the most obvious physical change, Samsung's new Galaxy pales in comparison to the all- aluminum unibody HTC One. "This is more of the same. HTC remains the best option for those people looking for the best technology wrapped in premium design. Our customers want something different from the mainstream, who appear to be the target for the Galaxy. "Our customers want original cutting-edge technology, mouth-watering design and a premium feel from their mobiles, which is why we created the HTC One." Looks like "quietly brilliant" is no more for HTC then? www.engadget.com/2013/03/15/htc-cmo-ben-ho-galaxy-s-4/

Phones / Samsung unveils the Galaxy S 4's software tricks by Thevenine(m): 7:00am On Mar 15, 2013 |
Samsung is revealing what Smart software additions the Galaxy S 4 will bring to the table, and they're well beyond what's been rumored. The camera is one of the biggest focuses, borrowing much from the Galaxy Camera: Cinema Photo captures still images with moving backgrounds, a Drama Shot burst mode that creates animated GIFs, an Eraser mode to remove unwanted background subjects, and a Sound & Shot mode that puts audio in the background of still images. A Story Album automatically creates photo albums based on common details such as location and time. And did we mention that it can shoot photos and video from both the front and back cameras at the same time? That's just the start. AirView now works with your finger, rather than a pen, and is effective right from the lock screen. Adapt Display and Adapt Sound automatically tune the picture and speakers for varying viewing conditions, and WatchOn uses a built-in IR blaster to tune your TV. S Translate, meanwhile, will take both spoken and written words and translate them through several languages, inside of multiple apps. S Voice has been upgraded to S Voice Drive to let drivers get navigation, find points of interest and otherwise interact with the phone without having to take any hands off the wheel. S Health, which Samsung initially mentioned last year, is around to track calories and steps through accessories such as S band, a body scale and a heart rate monitor. Like to do things that involve more than one person? There's more still. ChatOn has been upgraded to support video chat, and Group Play both allows for sharing songs in a surround mode or playing local multiplayer games -- when it's supported, that is. All told, there's a small deluge of new features that could amount to a lot, even excluding new hands-free elements like Smart Scroll.

Phones / Samsung Galaxy S4 Vs Sony Xperia Z Vs HTC One Vs Iphone 5 Vs Nokia Lumia 920 by Thevenine(m): 1:08am On Mar 15, 2013 |
All the hottest handsets compared So, it's finally here. Momentum has been building for the Samsung Galaxy S4 almost since the week after the Galaxy S3 arrived last summer! It's been one of the most anticipated handsets in a while - that explained by the world's obsession with seeing every leak possible. And they came thick and fast, thanks to our friends in China, as the hours counted down to launch. The Galaxy S4 arrives at a time when the competition has moved up a notch. Here's how Samsung's latest flagship chalks up against the other big boys in school. Galaxy S4 vs the rest: size and weight Big is beautiful. That's the message we've been getting over the last few years as smartphone manufacturers seem to try to outdo each other on the scales. The Galaxy S2 had a decent enough footprint, the S3 was even bigger. The S4 continues that tradition, coming in at 5.38 x 2.34 x 0.5/16-inches which makes it exactly the same, height wise, but fairly thinner by width, as its predecessor. It's also a whole three grams lighter at 130g. And it's in good company. Let's not forger the Sony Xperia Z is fairy big in the mitts at 5.47 x 2.80 x 0.31 in and weighing in at 146g, making it fairly similar and only marginally heavier than the HTC One which is delivered at 5.41 x 2.69 x 0.37 in. That's not a million miles off the Nokia Lumia 920 which clocks in at 5.13 x 2.79 x 0.42 in, though the Lumia is heavy enough to give you cramp at 185g. In fact, the only one that is out of its depth here is Apple's offering which provides the real alternative to anyone who wants a smaller, yet premium device. The iPhone 5 is minuscule by comparison at 4.87 x 2.31 x 0.30 in and with a weight of 112g. Galaxy S4 vs the rest: screens One of the most contentious issues when a smartphone is announced these days. Since Apple spoiled many of us with its Retina offering, we've all become more nitpicky than ever, because we know what can be achieved. The Galaxy S2 gave us Super AMOLED Plus and although it didn't have a resolution you'd kill yourself for, the colours really were beautiful. The S3 was, in some eyes, not the step forward that had been hoped for because Samsung opted for just Super AMOLED 4.8- inch panel with a density that could be marginally picked apart by a very trained eye. It also employed a Pen Tile Matrix here. The S4 goes for a slightly larger 5-inch display (still Super AMOLED) of 4.99-inches with full HD 1920 x 1920 and a far higher pixel density of 441ppi. It's, again, a pen-tile matrix with very high pixel density.The gap between pixels has been reduced so we're expecting something that looks far punchier in the real world. Competition is fierce - the iPhone 5 goes for an LED-backlit IPS LCD flavour. It's only 4.0- inches which is great for some, yet too small for others and giving off 326 ppi. Similarly, the Nokia Lumia 920 has a pretty great display with a slightly higher ppi of 332 but that's split over a larger 4.5-inch display. It too is an IPS LCD flavour. The Sony Xperia Z holds its own - this has an amazing display which is TFT and an amazing 441ppi spread over five inches, but as we explained in our review, it can appear washed out from different angles. The one to beat here is the HTC One display panel - we're big fans of that Super LCD3 offering with its 4.7-inch screen and 469 ppi, though, as our review explained, we're not massively sold on it when watching video. Galaxy S4 vs the rest: camera The S3 was one of the best mobile cameras out there - and the S4 goes one further with a 13MP offering. Plus a 2MP front facing snapper, which is pretty run of the mill nowadays. This is one of the main aspects people go for when purchasing a new handset, so a very important consideration. Apple reckons its 8MP offering is the best camera it has ever offered, but this at a time when the numbers are creeping into the double digits, much to the humiliation of the Lumia 920 which also offers an 8MP snapper. For example, the Xperia Z is in 13.MP territory as well. But size isn't everything - as we noted that pictures didn't always look great once shot. Compare that to the paltry sounding 4MP of the HTC One, but a camera that has the Ultrapixel technology, and you see that the number of pixels has barely any relevance compared to other aspects. Galaxy S4 vs the rest: processor and memory Of course, none of this makes any difference in the slightest if there is not enough 'oooft' inside to power it all. The S3 was super smooth - although we did notice it go a bit sluggish at times, before the arrival of Project Butter. As for the S4, forget dual-core. Forget quad core. We have a staggering EIGHT CORE Exynos 1.6GHz processor here. That's bigger than the quad-core 1.6GHz Exynos offering of the Galaxy Note 8 but is obviously of the same DNA! 2GB of ram completes the set, which is the going rate right now. That's double the 1GB RAM you'll find in the iPhone 5 and a real boost to the Dual-Core 1.2GHz processor it holds, but as any Apple fan will gleefully tell you, they rarely experience lag, which goes to show that the OS has just as much responsibility for smoothness. The S4's specs really blow away what we've seen in the rest of the competition - at least on paper. Sony offers us a Quad- Core 1.5GHz Krait chip and a comparable 2GB RAM which is double that of the Nokia Lumia 920's 1GB, while the Krait processor the Finns give us is dual-core, like the iPhone. In fact, the highest level after the S4 is the recently announced (and reviewed by us) HTC One which is quad-core 1.7 Krait and, again, has 2GB of RAM. Galaxy S4 vs the rest: battery size We've long passed the days when batteries would last all week and now, one day is the most you'll get from a modern smartphone. The problem is when that phone doesn't last even a full day, with tame use. The S4 packs a fairly huge 2,600MAH pack, up from the 2,100 offering we got on the S3. It makes the iPhone 5's 1400MAH battery look paltry, though again, iPhone owners will tell you that they have a decent enough time which again, highlights how much the OS plays a part. Compare that to our thoughts on the HTC One a couple of days back when we struggled to make that 2300MAH battery last, and you'll see what we mean. As for the Lumia 920, that comes with a 2000MAH pack which we bemoaned in our review, whilst the Xperia Z puts in a stellar effort with the 2330MAH pack powering it, thanks to stamina mode. Similar to our point about the camera, it's more than just sheer numbers that you'll find makes a difference here. Galaxy S4 vs the rest: OS Did you think Smart Stay was gimmicky on the S3? Will you care about the screen scrolling to follow your eyes on the S4? If you do, you're in for a treat because despite some claims it wouldn't appear on the final build, it is now official that it will. Whats more, Smart Pause will know to hold things when you look away. And Air Gestures mean you'll be able to jump to the top of lists, skip music and flick through pictures/answer calls without even touching the screen. The iPhone is obviously the only Apple device - so has exclusive access to the Cupertino stable of goodies as far as this rabble is concerned. Similarly, if you want a Windows device, you won't find any other offerings in this comparison. But the other three are all Android handsets and have their own unique selling points. Sony is bigging up how the Xperia Z is both resistant to dust and water, which is great if you're an off-roader swimmer. Meanwhile, HTC bangs on about its Zoe photos being unique and how the blink-feed home screen will change the world. However, its IR blaster on the newly released HTC One (which we have noted works well) has been fitted on the S4 as well. That unique selling point is no longer unique. Samsung's TouchWiz overlay, meanwhile, always looks a bit more colourful and less conservative. Yet, it has, in the past, also been a very solid iteration of Android - which is what these final three run on. The question is - will it be the first to ditch Jelly Bean for Key Lime Pie? And will that make a difference to you? If it does, the S4 will be available April 26th.

Phones / The Long-awaited Samsung Galaxy S4 Is Here! by Thevenine(m): 9:38pm On Mar 14, 2013 |
All the latest from the Galaxy SIV launch event. The countdown is on for the hotly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S4 launch in New York, where the Korean firm will take to the stage to uncover its latest flagship device. Rumours on the upcoming smartphone have been coming thick and fast and while we won't know for sure until Samsung announces the specs on stage, the Galaxy SIV looks set to rock a full HD screen, powerful eight-core processor and a chassis which resembles its predecessor, the Galaxy S3. Will it beat the likes of HTC One and Sony Xperia Z? It is not just phone enthusiasts who are anticipating tonight's launch. Samsung will be hoping that a warm reception for the Galaxy S4 will help propel its share price higher. The shares are up 25pc over the last 12 months. Which smartphone is the one the Galaxy S4 has to beat? UPDATED POLLS RESULT: HTC One 18.36% (2,340 votes) Sony Xperia Z 9.71% (1,237 votes) Apple iPhone 5 45.94% (5,854 votes) Samsung Galaxy S3 17.28% (2,202 votes) Google Nexus 4 5.74% (732 votes) Nokia Lumia 920 2.96% (377 votes) Total Votes: 12,742 UPDATE: Samsung seems to have an advantage when it comes to emerging mobile markets. With the smartphone market maturing in the West, this is increasingly where big profits are to be made. A new study by Upstream looked at the preferred mobile brand among adults in Brazil, India, NIgeria and Saudi Arabia and found that Samsung was the most desired brand (32 per cent), ahead of Nokia (22 per cent) and Apple (21 per cent). In the US and UK, it's a different story, with Apple leading on 32 per cent. LATEST UPDATE: Surprise! Jeremy's box of magic and mystery has been opened, and inside is a shiny new Samsung Galaxy S 4. The flagship device is now completely official! The new device, which is due to come out to 327 operators in 155 countries, should be available starting the end of April. It has a 5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED device with a pixel density of 441 ppi, 13MP rear camera and 2.0MP front- facing cam, MHL 2.0, Bluetooth 4.0 and IR LED for remote control access. Alright!!! Samsung Galaxy S4 is here! Let's all check out www.engadget.com/2013/03/14/samsung-galaxy-s-4-officially-announced/ for the full specifications. So much stuff to read. I'll be posting pictures though! In the meantime check out my thread on all the hottest phones compared www.nairaland.com/1226077/samsung-galaxy-s4-vs-sony
