Samsung announces new Galaxy smartphone launch

Samsung will launch its latest Galaxy smartphone in New York on 14 March, as it attempts to retake the lead from Apple in the United States.

The next edition of Samsung's bestselling phone is rumoured to feature a large 4.9in screen – compared to 4.8in on its predecessor – and a camera which at 13 megapixels will outdo that and Apple's fifth iPhone.

The unveiling of the device, expected to be called the "Galaxy S IV", marks the first time in three years Samsung has chosen to debut a product from its flagship range in America. The S III event was held in London last year, while the S II launched in Barcelona in 2011.

The Samsung event will be held at the art deco Radio City Music Hall, located in New York's Rockerfeller Center, and a favourite venue for Grammy and MTV awards.

Samsung has its sights set squarely on the US market after Apple took the crown for bestselling smartphone both worldwide and in the US at the end of last year, according to data from the research company Strategy Analytics. The California company knocked its South Korean rival from the top spot as the biggest seller of smartphones in the Christmas quarter thanks to the arrival of the iPhone 5 and price reductions on older models. That meant it sold 27.4m iPhone 5 and 17.4m iPhone 4S handsets globally in the fourth quarter, against 15.4m Galaxy S III handsets in that period, said Strategy Analytics.

Invitations to the launch were sent out Monday morning, just as rival Nokia was unveiling budget versions of its Lumia handsets aimed at the Chinese and Latin America markets at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona.

Apple shipped 17.7m mobile phones for a record 34% share of the US market in the fourth quarter of 2012, said Strategy Analytics, making it the no 1 mobile phone vendor by volume in the US for the first time ever.

HTC One dual-SIM model has been listed at the HTC India website with same specifications as the HTC One.

HTC is heavily banking on its flagship One smartphone which comes with aluminum unibody design. While the phone seems to be doing fairly well in India, the company has another surprise for the Indians. The Taiwanese company now has listed a dual-SIM HTC One model at its HTC India website as coming soon. While the core features of the HTC One and HTC One dual-SIM remain the same, the notable change is observed in the storage department. There are no details on the pricing of the HTC One dual-SIM model.
HTC One's new twin handset - HTC One dual-SIM is meant for those who don't wish to carry two devices and want to enjoy one powerful device only. Like the single SIM variant, the dual SIM HTC One has also a 4.7-inch full HD display with 468 pixels per inch pixel density. The display has been constructed using Corning Gorilla Glass 2 technology.
The HTC One dual-SIM model will pack a quad-core 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 mobile processor with 2 GB RAM. Though it has only 16 GB internal storage, it comes with a memory card slot for up to 64 GB micro SD card. The phone also comes with a removable back panel to put the dual SIM cards and micro SD Card. The dual-SIM card supports one 3G network card and other 2G network card inside.

This iPhone 6 Concept Features A Transparent Display, 10MP Camera, A7 Processor And More [IMAGES]

As if we’ve been short of future-gen iPhone concept ideas of late, German designer Eric Huismann has once again explored the idea of a transparent display in his ‘iPhone 6′ design. The very slick looking device is 17% thinner than the already svelte iPhone 5, packs a 10-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording, and an upgraded A7 processor. Feel free to drool over the images after the break!
The display measures in at four inches, the same as the current iPhone 5, but that is where the similarities pretty much grind to a halt. There’s a see-through display – something many Apple fans have (somewhat bemusingly) alluded to in concept designs of times passed – but on this particular design, I think it does enhance the overall elegance of the device. As well as, of course, looking great, the transparency could also have many practical uses, particularly in the field of navigation, exploration and augmented reality in general.

While the entire span of the display is completely transparent, the top and bottom areas remain opaque, with all of the hardware features meticulously squeezed into these very tiny compartments. Among them is an A7 processor for "even better" performance, and that 10-megapixel snapper offering full-HD video recording.
The design has an almost double-sided effect, and although we’re accustomed to seeing the Apple logo just above center on the exterior of the iPhone, this concept shows what it may look like if pushed right up to the top. While purists may baulk at this change in formation, I actually think it looks rather good at such a dizzy new height, and overall, I’d have to say this design is a winner.

Will Apple be bringing anything like this anytime soon? Highly unlikely; but some of the ideas presented by Huismann are very encouraging.
Back on planet earth, the next Apple iPhone is expected to take on a very similar (if not identical) form factor to the current flagship, with its marquee feature being a fingerprint sensor as opposed to a transparent display. Accompanying the next-gen iPhone is purported to be a low-end / entry-level device to help Apple widen its appeal to developing markets and those with less extravagant budgets.
Still, we’ve taken a bit of a shining to this design, and would love to know what you make of Huismann’s efforts. Please do drop your comments – as ever – via the usual mediums below.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Improved Camera to compete Apple iPhone 6′s Smart Rear Camera, 3D photography

In The News Tribe’s previous post we have compared rumoured Display specifications of both the most anticipated smartphones. In Today’s post we will compare Camera functioning of both the phones.
iPhone 6′s Edge in Camera So Far
For last many iPhone series phones, camera functioning remains more or less the same irritating Apple’s fan who overate US tech giant ability regarding innovation. But iPhone 6 could really be an innovative device at least in Camera functioning.
1. Smart Rear Camera
Some reports have suggested that iPhone 6 will be equipped with a Smart Rear Camera, perhaps Sony’s 13 Megapixel sensor with much awaited flash upgradation.
An analyst even predicts that Apple’s iPhone 6 will have a better camera system including f2.0 aperture and enhanced LED Flash Light to give iPhone users a unique experience of snapping their memorable moments.
2. 3D Imaging Camera
3D photography will really be an innovative move, if Apple has decided to integrate it into iPhone 6.
A detailed report in Patently Apple has discussed in length about Apple’s achievement in inventing killer 3D Imaging Camera for iOS devices. International Business Times, based on this report, claimed that Apple could use this 3D imaging technology in upcoming iPhone 6.
““One sensor would capture a polarizing image, while two other sensors would capture two different nonpolarizing images, and Apple’s system would combine the images into a composite,” an earlier report of The News Tribe said.
But still iPhone 6 will not be the first one to use 3D photography as HTC Evo 3D is already using the same technology.
3. Timer for Photographer
Another exciting camera feature could be ‘Time for Photographer’ sensing technology in iPhone 6.
This feature ensures a photographer’s presence in any memorable family event or friends party by sensing his or her face.
An aerial view of these camera functions really giving a look of the Killer Camera for iPhone 6.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Improved Camera
So far, there is no revealing information leaked about Galaxy S4 camera except that it will have 13 Megapixel camera. Galaxy S3 had a 8MP camera.
But Samsung fans are expecting something unusual and innovative in camera functioning of Galaxy S4. One report claims that Galaxy S4 camera aperture could be f2.2, apparently more powerful than rumoured f2.0 aperture of iPhone 6 Camera.
Camera with f2.2 means that Galaxy S4 could take high quality snaps even in low light conditions.

The iPhone 5S in Vibrant Pink

There’s not much debate on how the iPhone 5S will look, but there is a bit of uncertainty as to which colors would suit it better.
 That’s right. Apple this year is widely expected to launch its usual S-iPhone-revision in a flurry of colors. A company called Colorware uses anodization to get the job done, and the results are pretty spectacular. But Apple may want a different color set.

Last week, a bunch of plastic iPhone cases were leaked showing what Apple’s “budget” iPhone might look like in yellow, red, and green. But what about the iPhone 5S?

If Apple decides to give that phone some pop, it might want to choose a daring palette which includes hues like the vibrant pink displayed above. It looks brilliant and it might just get our minds off the fact that we still have a full year to wait before the iPhone 6 comes out.

Analyst: iPhone 5C to phase out iPhone 5, due on China Mobile in Q3

KGI Securities’ Ming-Chi Kuo has built a reputation of the most reliable Apple analyst out there who has accurately predicted a number of Apple product updates (sans the timetable).

He’s out with a new report for clients Monday morning, sharing interesting observations regarding Apple’s upcoming iPhone 5C, also known as the budget iPhone.

The biggest takeaway: the iPhone 5C will be priced between $400 and $500, which makes it a mid-tier handset rather than cheap, and is expected to be released to China Mobile’s 700+ million subscribers in Fall, potentially accounting for penetration of TDD-LTE to 25 percent in iPhone 5S and 35 percent in iPhone 5C shipments…

He thinks (via AppleInsider) the plastic iPhone 5C will be offered in 16/32GB flavors and priced $200 less than the iPhone 5S. The analyst is also expecting Apple will axe the iPhone 4 because its hardware is inadequate to run on iOS7 and is adamant the iPhone 4S will live on at least through year ed.

The 5C, Kuo writes, should phase out the current-generation iPhone 5 this Fall due to similar features (sans the plastic enclosure) as the 5C has been designed as a mid-range replacement for the iPhone 5.

We’ve learned that the iPhone 5 line will be terminated from 4Q13, while the iPhone 4S line will carry on. From this, we infer that iPhone 5C is launched to replace iPhone 5. In other words, the 5C model will be positioned as midrange. We forecast its retail price to be US$400-500.

We expect iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 will fall into the price ranges of US$600-700, US$400-500, US$300-400 and US$200-300, respectively, in the new product cycle.

In a nutshell, the iPhone 5C will be to the iPhone 5S what the iPhone 4S is to the iPhone 5, a cheaper alternative with not as sophisticated hardware and features.

On a final note, Kuo is projecting 5.2 million iPhone 5S and 8.4 million iPhone 5C sales in the third quarter of this year. As for the Christmas quarter, Apple should ship 28 million iPhone 5S units and 18.7 million iPhone 5C units.
Apple should announce both the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C at a media event on September 10.

Sony Xperia SP Launch Date Pushed Back

The Sony Xperia SP should have landed in UK stores on April 30th, but Sony's smartphone is yet to begin shipping.

We've now learnt that the Xperia SP has been delayed two weeks and land in the UK on May 11th.

Sony's Xperia SP is a mid-range smartphone that incorporates the same design introduced within the Sony Xperia Z. Sadly, it lacks the water-proofing of its bigger brother but maintains a premium feel thanks to its aluminum frame.

Sony Ericsson 2014 Dates Feature set summary for Sony Xperia Z review

 Standing out on the Sony Xperia Z are the 13-megapixel snapper and the 1080p HD display. Film fans will enjoy the crisp, vibrant screen, and if you take a lot of snaps you’ll appreciate the camera’s auto-mode.

Style and handling summary for Sony Xperia Z review

The Xperia Z is rather hefty – though we do like the long shiny chassis and iconic power button, but it is more than a handful and attracts dust. Happily its dust and water proof.

Sony Ericsson Xperia New Phones 2013 Quick verdict

While it doesn't quite pack the clout of the phones from HTC and Samsung, the Xperia Z is a phone that says Sony is definitely back at the sharp end of the smartphone game.

There's still (a small amount of) room for improvement, as the screen can look a bit washed out from some angles, but there's no doubt that if Sony keeps us this pace it will be vying for the top spot in no time at all - we just don't know what Sony will call it.

It's the natural replacement for the Xperia J, which launched at IFA 2012 alongside 007's Sony Xperia T - handsets which bear a strong resemblance to the Xperia L in terms of design.
There's no exact Sony Xperia L release date for now, all we've been told is that it will arrive during the second quarter of the year. The price has also been confirmed: £229 SIM free, but we're waiting for the contract prices to turn up.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Expected Release Date & Features

As we know that the Galaxy S4 has been come before many weeks now and it is time to look at the next flagship phone Samsung will be working on in this series, which is Galaxy S5. So we are expecting that the new flagship device will be released next year in May 2014. We are also expecting that this smartphone comes with amazing features, those features which will make them different from other phones. It will be an officially smartphone. As we see that the technology developing day by day, so Samsung will release its new device with different attractive features, like we are expected that may be Galaxy S5 will be come with flexible display, which make Galaxy S5 different from all phones at all. Because still there is no one phone comes with flexible display.

 And Galaxy S5 rumors still suggest that it also comes with cool features like the one is flexible display, and not only this, there is also improvements in its processor as well, like in GPU and RAM. Its processor will come with more powerful and more Android games and while as well. And also come with high quality 3D display as well. And if Samsung add 3D camera in the phone so it make it more impressive and will be the winner of the next year. This Galaxy S5 has no low specification at all. And also rumors that Samsung will add the projector feature in the Galaxy S5, which make it best smartphone of the 2014.
As we know that the Samsung flagship definitely features that it comes with build Android. As we see that the Galaxy S3 launched with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and then bumped up to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Than Galaxy S4 launch with Key Lime Pie and then comes with latest build Jelly Bean. So we are also expected that the Galaxy S5 will come as the same new version JellyBean, but not dam sure about it.

We are also expected that Galaxy S5 will come with waterproof or Drop proof feature, because in the latest mobile iPhone and other has same feature so Samsung will also add its new Galaxy S5 this latest feature to make it more best mobile phone ever.

So the Samsung Galaxy S5 would be change current Galaxy S4, and this latest mobile Galaxy S5 will come with latest features and should be launched as official accessories in May 2014.
