Samsung Unveils Windows Tablet With Android Access

Samsung Unveils Windows Tablet With Android Access

The ATIV Q tablet will let users share files between Windows 8 and Android applications, Samsung said at an event to unveil the new device in London yesterday. The hinged device also has a keyboard that lets the tablet operate like a laptop. 

In addition to running Android Apps, the ATIV Q will also allow users to seamlessly transfer files from Windows 8 to Android, extending to desktop, tablet and phone. It’s an impressive feature which will allow, almost, endless access to information and tools. It also features SideSync, which means you can respond to texts on your phone from the tablet.

The ATIV Q also features a smooth, hinged keyboard which can be unfolded to use as a laptop, or folded under to perform more like a tablet. The thin, lightweight device will feature an insanely high resolution (3200×1800, 275ppi) and an Intel INTC -3.3% Core i5 processor.

HTC Butterfly S official: UltraPixel Camera, BoomSound, 5-inch display

HTC Butterfly S official: UltraPixel Camera, BoomSound, 5-inch display

When the HTC One was introduced not long after the DROID DNA (and the original HTC Butterfly), it seemed as if the larger-display-toting machine would be left in the dust, so to speak. Not so! Here we’re seeing HTC upgrade the HTC Butterfly line with an HTC Butterfly S, a machine that takes essentially every great part of the HTC One and adds a massive display to boot! Inside this machine is a 5-inch 1080p display backed up by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor – the same as the HTC One. Up front is scratch-resistant glass with a 4-megapixel “UltraPixel” camera in the back with a single LED flash bulb.

The display is Super LCD 3 touch-enabled technology-wise and comes in at a cool 440ppi. This device works with a massive 3200mAh battery as well – and it’d better with a display and brightness such as this.

Up front are also a couple of front-facing speakers working with HTC’s own BoomSound technology for massive sound-blasting, these right beside a front-facing 2.1-megapixel camera with 88-degree wide-angle lens. Also inside is HTC’s own ImageChip 2 processor, again the same as the HTC One.

This device also works with a microSD card for memory expansion – finally! This might seem like a fabulous addition as this machine still works with just 16GB of internal storage, but we’ll have to wait and see if this feature hits the states – it might just be axed before it gets here. Same goes for the black, white, or red colorways.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Rumored Specs, Release Date, Price Point

Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Rumored Specs, Release Date, Price Point 

Following the unexpected success of the Note, Samsung continued the onslaught with the Note II, launching a huge marketing campaign which allowed them to create an ever broader user base. The phone exceeded all expectations and Samsung found themselves with a second hit series, next to their popular Galaxy S devices. In all likelihood, the Galaxy Note 3 will be a step up from the newly released Galaxy S4, which featured a 1080p display and Qualcomm quad-core processor in North America.

Memory

Again, the Korean version of the Galaxy S4 had 3 GB RAM compared to the U.S. 2 GB, and it is not far-fetched to think that Galaxy Note 3 will have same or better.

Storage

It is hard to say what Samsung are going to decide with the Note 3, but it is our guess that this time they are stepping up the internal storage capacity to 32 GB in the U.S. as well, as apps and media content in general are starting to require larger storage space from devices.

Features

Apart from its size, the other major thing that sets the Galaxy Note apart from the Galaxy S series is the S-Pen, Samsung's word for stylus. Although the Galaxy S4 received many of the capabilities of the Note 2 that had previously required a stylus, we guess that Samsung's investment in S-Pen apps will not be thrown out the window, but rather expanded upon to increase productivity in the Note 3.

Release Date

To be announced, but for what it is worth, analysts say the most likely is a release around the same time as the iPhone 5S this year. The carriers that will sell the device are reasonably the top 5, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular.

Price

Price will again be slightly higher than the Galaxy S series

HTC One Nexus release set for June 26: One Nexus vs Samsung Galaxy S4 Nexus

HTC One Nexus release set for June 26: One Nexus vs Samsung Galaxy S4 Nexus

Samsung Galaxy S4 Nexus Vs HTC One Nexus

See, the Galaxy S4 and HTC One have been mainly different for the native user experience and features they offer. In case of Galaxy S4, it is a brilliant handset with some of Samsung’s matchless multimedia, camera and other user-friendly features, for example Smart Pause, Smart Stay, Air Gestures and more. In case of HTC One, this handset has also grabbed name for its innovative Sense 5 and associated features like a BlinkFeed home screen, a new musical experience and more.

When they happen to run on the stock Android version, all these native UI highlights will disappear. They will have almost the same credentials as far as their software aspects are concerned, and they will have to stand apart on the grounds of their little hardware differences. If you look into their hardware, there are three main areas that we can say the S4 and HTC One are somehow different; display size, camera and form factor.

As we noted it above, HTC One has a smaller 4.7-inch FullHD display, meaning that obviously it results in better pixel density. The Galaxy S4 has a 5-inch 1080p screen at a pixel density of 441-ppi, at the same time. Regarding camera, the One has a really wonderful 4MP UltraPixel camera, which, according to HTC is able to take video and pics in better clarity. It is when the S4 sports a 13MP rear camera, which as analyzed by some specialists, works better than the 4MP UltraPixel camera of HTC One.

Finally, design wise, the One has a brilliant and eye-catching design. With its relatively smaller size, the cute design has always become a reason for the device’s public appeal in global markets. The Galaxy S4 is not falling short in form and design aspects, though. It is also featuring a nice look that any customer may fall in love with.
