Samsung Galaxy S4 | Coming In April | Review Features, Specifications, Prices

After huge success of Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Electronics ltd will launch Galaxy S4 expected for sale in the month of april. Samsung's yet to be announced Galaxy S4 will reportedly be announced at a launch event on 14th March.

The Galaxy S4 is rumoured to be powered by Samsung's new Exynos 5 processor, which will have a whopping eight cores. The new chip's eight-core design is based on AMD's big.LITTLE architecture. This means that there are four powerful Cortex-A15 cores for the phone's most power-hungry functions, and four lower-power Cortex-A7 models to take care of simpler tasks. When the phone isn't needed to do anything fancy, the more powerful cores shut down, extending battery life.

According to sources speaking to Taiwanese industry rumour site DigiTimes, the S4 will include a 5inch Full HD display with an impressive 1920x1080 resolution, following a trend starting with rival HTC's Butterfly handset. Such a display would have an impressive pixel density of around 440 pixels per inch (PPI) - significantly above the resolution of Apple's Retina display technology.

Samsung Galaxy S4 will have wireless charging built in. Wireless charging, in which inductive or resonating systems provide power to without the need to connect a charging cable, are becoming increasingly popular: Nokia's flagship Lumia 920 includes wireless charging built into the phone. Integration makes a lot of sense as it removes the need for bulky wireless charging cases that bulk up a handset, and make it much more convenient to charge a phone. We'd expect Samsung to want all of the latest technologies in its new handset and wireless charging makes a lot of sense.

Samsung galaxy tab 3 | leaked image | expected MWC 2013 release

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 pictures have leaked online ahead of the third-generation tablet's expected MWC 2013 Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 release date. 

The images appeared on PhoneArena yesterday morning, sparking renewed rumors that Samsung is preparing to unveil their third generations of Galaxy tablets at the upcoming gadget convention, called the Mobile World Congress, which starts on February 25. Previous rumors had a Galaxy Tab 3 coming in two flavors, a 7 inch and a 10.1 inch model. These would be successors to the mid-market Galaxy Tab 2, coming in the same size, but with beefed-up specs.

The photos show off the enigmatic slate boxed, “confirming” the new branding – Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. We can even spot the beginning of the model number (GT-P), but unfortunately the subsequent numbers are obscured, so there’s no way to tell if it’s the GT-P3200 (aka Galaxy Tab 3 7.0), the GT-P5200 (Galaxy Tab 3 10.1) or the GT-P8200 (Galaxy Tab 3 Plus).

The Galaxy Tab 3 is said to come in two different sizes, that is, 7″ and 10″ models, but then it has been discovered that the 7” model could very well have been removed from the pipeline. Well, one thing’s for sure, we will not be able to have the full picture until Samsung themselves step forward with an official word on the issue. Thing is, what you see here are leaked images of the Galaxy Tab 3 in their blurry glory, so take them in before it is officially unveiled at most probably, Mobile World Congress that is happening next month in Barcelona, Spain.

Although an confirmed Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 specs have yet to be revealed, it is expected that a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 release date will be officially unveiled next month during the Barcelona based MWC 2013 conference. Latest Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 rumours have seen the iPad mini rival tipped to host a 5-megapixel camera as well as Wi-Fi and 3G iterations.

Samsung galaxy note 3 | Upcoming Samsung Smartphone | Review Features, Specifications

After the success of Samsung's Galaxy Note 2, Samsung Electronics ltd. is preparing to launch upgrade version of Galaxy note 2 i.e Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The Galaxy note 3 will be even impressive.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has broken cover with a suspected release date of 2013, but when can we expect to see this phablet emerge?

Samsung has said it is switching focus at the beginning of 2013 to concentrate on its OLED displays - in small, medium and large formats. Moving its staff away from LCD and onto OLED development could mean it will be ready for production much sooner than previous rumours.

We think a Q3 2013 release could be on the cards - slightly later than its 2012 Galaxy Note August release date, but developing a 6.3-inch OLED display can't be easy work!

With Samsung commonly using the pen tile arrangement in its other already released smart phones the new Galaxy Note 3 is thought to be coming with RGB matrix. With this kind of matrix it will essentially mean that the phone will achieve more resolutions of up to 1024x 980 with a 358ppi density.

The new resolution design essentially means that the design will come with a resolution of up to 244ppi translating to not less than 16subpixels in its RGB pixels. This simply means that clarity will be at its best for the display thus allowing one to take super bright and crystal clear images. This clearly shows that Samsung is not afraid to experiment with the sub pixels count and the AMOLED displays shape.

The new Galaxy Note 3 will bring 2.6GHZ Quad-Core Cortex-A15 processor that will for sure guarantee fast speeds in all its processes. Supported with 3GB RAM and 64/128GB memory, the new hardware upgrade will essentially make this phone stay way higher as compared to its predecessor as well as among the competitors.

New Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is destined to pack 16MP camera with Auto Focus, LED Flash and BSI. There will be a second 3-megapixel front-facing camera with BSI, Best Photo, Best Faces, Low light shot. Other hardware upgrade will feature Wi-Fhi Direct, Bluetooth 5.0, USB 3.0 Host and NFC.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 battery would also given a major boost to ensure it is up to the mark for performing numerous tasks without being run down. It is thought that the new Galaxy Note will incorporate the highly capable 4000mAh LI-ion battery.

Samsung is also thought to try and use the new Android OS 5.0 so as to beat off more competition from other Android devices.

Price for Galaxy Note 3 hasn't released officially.

Samsung T9000 Android OS based Refrigerator | CES 2013 Video | Review Features

Samsung electronics ltd. bring some technology to gadgets like Refrigerators. The new Samsung T9000 Refrigerator which can run calender, wheather app and connects with most popular Evernote android app.

The Samsung T9000 Refrigerator comes with a large LCD display running the Android operating system. However, it cannot be used to install generic Android apps so you won’t be able to play Angry Birds on your Refrigerator. However, it comes with a range of pre-installed apps that deliver useful services.

Perhaps the most interesting thing is the support for Evernote, the popular note taking and sharing app for iOS and Android OS. Evernote enables you to create notes, complete with web clips, photos, URLs, images, movies and so on, and sync them with any other device running Evernote. This, presumably, will now include your Refrigerator.



The T9000 is a pretty high-class fridge to boot, it has four compartments: two for a fridge, and one for a freezer. The final compartment can be configured to act as either a fridge, or a freezer.
The T9000 is expected to launch in Spring and Samsung says it will cost somewhere in the region of US$4,000

This seems like rather a lot to spend on a fridge to us, perhaps a better option would be to use a regular Refrigerator and an iPad or other Android console running Evernote. But technological change has to start somewhere, and maybe one day lower cost kitchen devices will also come with LCD displays.

World's first flexible OLED smartphone Display unveiled by Samsung | Review Specifications

Samsung unveiled the world's first flexible screen smartphone. The screen is stretch up-to the right edge of the body. Edge screen of this mobile is slightly tilted over 45 degrees. This mobile is still unnamed and officials says it's just a prototype. I think this phone can display notifications on the edge. For example, while playing games in normal Android mobile phone you can't see the notification like message, e-mail and other stuffs. This extra screen will be helpful to see those things. It is a demo mobile and so the price is not available.

SAMSUNG FLEXIBLE PHONE SPECIFICATIONS : ↓

Full specification of this mobile is not available. Samsung staff released only limited specification.

• 5-inch OLED wide screen.
• aspect ratio of 16:9.
• 720p HD screen resolution.

They placed this mobile in CES 2013 just for demo. This Mobile have Windows Phone operating system. Currently Samsung is working on a new OS "Sailfish". I think Samsung use Sailfish OS in their flexible type mobiles.

Flexible screen uses OLED technology and will be very thin. This kind of displays were made up of plastics and metal foil allowing to bend. Glass is not present in this type of display and so it won't break. This type of screens have advantages like lighter, thinner and shatterproof. 

Flexible display face problems like shorter lifetime. The ions present in the flexible display works only for 5 years. You can't view clearly under direct sunlight. Water damages this kind of display easily. But soon there will be water resistant displays.

Can iphone mini boost the apple Past | Iphone mini launch next year | Price | Review

Rumors saying that Apple plans to launch iPhone mini next year 2014. The iPhone mini is expecting at a price ranging from $200 to $250.

"We expect Samsung to slightly extend its lead over Apple this year because of its larger multitier product portfolio," Neil Mawston, executive director at Strategy Analytics, said in an e-mail interview with Reuters.

Global smartphone shipments will jump 27 percent to 875 million this year, slowing from last year's torrid 41 percent pace as growth is easing in many key markets such as North America, China, the developed economies of Asia, and Western Europe, Mawston said.

South Korea's Samsung Electronics is forecast to sell 290 million smartphones this year, up from a projected 215 million in 2012, the research firm said. Apple's smartphone sales are projected to reach 180 million this year, up 33 percent from last year, slightly trailing Samsung's 35 percent increase.

This will give Samsung a 33 percent share of the 2013 smartphone market, up from last year's estimated 31 percent, while Apple will hold 21 percent, versus last year's 20 percent.

The Korean handset maker has the edge over Apple in large part because it "plays in more segments," Mawston told Reuters, allowing it to "capture more volume than Apple."

To fight back, Apple may try to win over a larger base of consumers by launching a smaller, cheaper variant of the iPhone, dubbed the "iPhone Mini" by the analyst.

With the iPhone 5 grabbing huge demand and sales, a low-end model may not be on Apple's agenda this year.

There’s absolutely no evidence that Apple is working on an iPhone mini — but for that matter there’s wasn’t much to indicate that the company was working on the iPad mini either — but the rumors suggest a smaller, cheaper handset that will appeal to those who are interested in the iPhone but find the current offering too expensive.

While there’s no doubt that this would have huge appeal in the U.S., a cheap iPhone would have massive appeal in countries such as China and India. And if Apple can gain traction in these countries, it could add billions to its profits, and millions of new users every quarter.
