Startup smartphone from Florida wants to take battle with the Galaxy S4

"Blu Products" is a start-up company from Florida and wants three new Android smartphones(JIAYU G2S) on the market that will settle in the high-end sector. It wants Products Blu score with a cheap price and proclaim the same full-bodied, it can record with the Galaxy S4 loose. There is something to it or is it a marketing gimmick?

Galaxy S4: CyanogenMod give developers Samsung Smartphone a rejection

The famous CyanogenMod is not likely to appear for the Galaxy Samsung S 4 - ThL W3+. According to the developers, this step is a consequence of the current relationship between Samsung and the development team.

 

After some disappointing presentation of the Galaxy S4 is now the next setback for Samsung. According to a recent report, the developer of the popular CyanogenMod dissociate from the upcoming high end smartphone(JIAYU JY-G3) from Samsung. The Galaxy S 4 would indeed be suitable for CyanogenMod without problems, but the developers complain about the lack of support by the relevant department and Samsung have now with the announcement of the emergency brake pulled. Samsung has reportedly even protect a violation of the GPL (General Public License) to put in to buy the intellectual property - therefore it was the CyanogenMod developers made even more difficult to develop an alternative software for current Samsung smartphones.

CyanogenMod has now be announced on the Google Plus account that the distancing from Samsung has gone out of the Hacksung Group, which is responsible specifically for Samsung devices. The view must therefore do not meet the CyanogenMod policy. Currently keep to officially covered and simply says that it is currently still give no CyanogenMod for the Galaxy S4(JIAYU G2 dual core). As it seems, there's also the CyanogenMod developers some inconsistencies in their own ranks.

In addition to a quad-core version with LTE modem as implemented SoC component it is in Europe, a version with the eight-core Exynos SoC give 5 Octa. Visually, the Galaxy S 4 is very similar to the previous two Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S2. All three smartphones rely on plastic as the main chassis material. Unlike the HTC One with a 4.7-inch full-HD LCD-based display of the Galaxy S 4 tinkers a 5-inch screen with AMOLED technology. In this variant content is presented in full HD resolution. For beautiful photos in addition to a 13-megapixel camera make.

Samsung will market its first smartphone Tizen in third quarter

 

The president of Samsung Mobile, J.K. Shin, announced in an interview with the WSJ that the Korean company to market a high-end smartphone(A9600 MTK6589) operating system Tizen in the third quarter of 2013.

Shin has passed through New York to present its new top model in mobile telephony, S4 Galaxy, and to promote its range of mobile phones in a country, the United States, which says "not satisfied" with their market share. This in spite of becoming globally in smartphone(JIAYU G3 buy) market leader Apple beating thanks to Android.

An Android which of course is not going to leave (and that's the last S4) but will explore other possibilities such as using Tizen, another Linux like Android but without the control of Google, and aspired to become a great alternative the competitive mobile(ThL A1) market.

Tizen, MeeGo successor, emerged in turn project and Nokia's Maemo and Intel's Moblin currently under the auspices of the Linux Foundation and the LiMo Foundation, is being developed under the responsibility of Intel, Samsung and some ex-MeeGo developers .

With Linux kernel and based on HTML5 and other web standards, has been driven by the transfer of Samsung Bada system which adds a number of Bada OS compatible applications. With Samsung and Intel in the lead, with Huawei, Orange, NTT Docomo and Sprint, or Fujitsu, NEC and other companies behind, sees great potential in the future.

And if as chief assures mobile Samsung, the Korean company sold in its first few months and also intelligent terminal with high-end hardware specifications, we can consider that Tizen will receive a nice boost.

Tablet market: Android tablets will overtake the iPad in 2013

The tablet market is booming, and the outlook remains very well. However, Apple's iPad is not expected to have by the end of the year to be more industry leader.

 

The market research firm IDC, takes a look into the future and the development of writing in the tablet(FreeLander Tablet PC) market. The results published on Tuesday: For the current year it is expected that nearly 191 million computers are sold flat. Thus corrected, the analysts their forecast from December 2012 significantly upwards. At that time, IDC had forecast for 2013, 172 million devices sold well. The rapid growth is expected to continue until further notice, until 2017, an annual increase of 11 percent to 350 million then stepped tablet computer expected.

According to IDC, because the small tablet with a screen size under eight inches of their essential contribution. In the current quarter already delivered every other tablet fit into that category, and this process will continue.
Later this year, could replace Android as a tablet(ICOO Tablet PC) operating system the previous market leaders iOS. 2012 still accounted for 51 percent of tablet sales on the iPad, by the end of this year there will be only 46 percent of the devices sold in the market segment. In this way, produced by Samsung, Amazon and Sony pass Android devices with expected 48.8 percent market share to Apple.

In the long term, according to the research firm, the relative share of Android a little smaller, to 46 percent by 2017 (iOS: 43.5 percent). This development should be primarily due to the expected increase in Microsoft products. While Windows and Windows RT to drive less than 5 percent of all tablets(Onda Tablet PC) sold in 2013, for 2017, a market share of around 10 percent is estimated. In 2012, Microsoft was the proportion less than 1 percent.

Thus stands for the field of computer wipe a similar development as in smartphones. Although Apple has had with its iPhone here in the first place created a new market segment and some time dominated. But now the company from Cupertino has been in the mobile phone market long been eclipsed by the Android-based competitors.

Microsoft's hopes for rapid growth mean the ICD forecasts significantly undermined. But quite unexpectedly, is not the prospect of even numbers. Reason for the current weakness in the market, the decision of the company was to offer two different tablet operating systems. "In our opinion, Microsoft and its partners would be better advised to focus their attention on the improvement of Windows 8," said IDC research director Tom Mainelli.

"All Things D" recommends to consider the IDC figures with some caution. Because the forecasts relate to the number of units shipped, not the sales. While pretty much every Apple iPad also sells, surrendering it, the same could not be of Android dealers said. Finally after delivery devices can be remain on shelves instead of being actually bought and used.

Samsung's Galaxy S 4 Apple continues to hold at bay

 

Stuttgart - On self-confidence, it can not miss Apple's biggest competitor. The Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan has chosen the Korean company Samsung that on Thursday its new smartphone(Star S7589) Galaxy S 4 present, with which he wants the former leader to snatch more selling shares. Samsung first launched its newest top product first in the United States, not in Europe or Asia.

The Koreans understand now almost as good as the Apple cult brand to attract the attention of new products in coming. A popular video on the Internet is called "one of the most amazing product launches since the invention of color television." The screen is again larger than the previous model. The rumor on the internet but most of all revolves around the alleged possibility provided solely by the movement of the eyes of a page on the screen weiterzuscrollen. Samsung has filed a corresponding patent in February. One reached the leaked rumors: The long decried as imitators Koreans make an innovation attention.

The Galaxy S is Samsung's latest trump 4

With the launch of the Galaxy S 4 - JIAYU G2 dual core, the bitter rivalry with Apple goes into the next round. Apple takes Samsung for years as a plagiarist and joins a patent lawsuit to the other. The result is just a brief point victory for Californians. Last summer, a jury sentenced in San Francisco, the Koreans because of a series of patent infringement to a billion dollars in damages. But shortly after a judge reduced the amount to almost half - which in turn accounted Samsung as a victory. Apple has not been able to enforce a ban on the sale of Samsung products.

The two companies, which bite each other bitterly for years. could not be more different. Apple has been by its founder, Steve Jobs, who died in 2011, entirely focussed on innovative electronic products. The Californian company should - according to Jobs - not cling to models or market studies, but most consumer needs a corner ahead.

Samsung (ThL V12)on the other hand comes from a very different tradition. The Mega Group, in addition to electronics also sells home appliances, production machinery, machine tools, chemicals and insurance companies, and operates through a subsidiary even amusement parks and zoos is one of those chaebol mentioned, consolidated conglomerates that have catapulted the former developing country Korea to modernity. But the electronics division was last year some 150 billion euros. Apple was around 120 billion euros.

A fight with no holds barred

With what's going on sometimes hardball Samsung demonstrated by the fact that the company 2007 led to a massive corruption scandal. For years the company had bribed Korean politician with millions. The former Samsung boss Lee Kun-Hee was sentenced to three years' imprisonment, but immediately pardoned by the president. Lee Kun-Hee drives his employees to be tireless innovation. You should put out their wives and children everything to the test, this is his credo. The giant company itself, however, led by the traditional patriarchal rules of Korean society. After a bitter family feud between brothers since December 2012 Lee Kun-Hee's youngest son Lee Jay-Yong is at the head of the company - although the Crown Prince had previously collected no special laurels.

The Koreans watch the markets systematically respond quickly - and score with sheer mass. Thanks to 34 research centers in countries such as Russia, Great Britain, India, Japan, Israel and China, as well as in the U.S. Silicon Valley Samsung is now everywhere, where global trends are set. 60 000 people are employed solely for research.

Samsung can cover in its electronics division a much wider range of products than Apple. Currently, the Koreans are trying example itself as a leader in the field of Internet-enabled TVs to establish. Another advantage over U.S. competitors is the fact that Samsung produces electronic components themselves. Despite all the legal battles over patents Samsung is still one of Apple's key suppliers. The Koreans are therefore currently the only competitor to be feared before the former top dog Apple really.

Urinalysis with 'smartphone'

It can detect a possible disease with a photograph of a test strip that the patient must put in the pot of urine.

 

At the conference Technology, Education and Design (TED) has submitted an application for smartphones(JIAYU G4) capable of analyzing the urine through a photo taken with the device itself.

The process is very simple. The patient should get a test strip into the pot with the urine. Then you need to place it on a surface, the company that supplies the application, so that, regardless of the lighting conditions in which the picture is taken from the strip, the result does not change. Once the application photo taken analyze the colors of this and give you the results.

"I wanted the health checkups were in the hands of users," he assured the application creator and co-founder of Biosense Technologies(JIAYU G3 jy-g3), Myshkin Ingawale, told the BBC. It is able to distinguish up to 10 elements, such as glucose, protein and nitrite. With it you can identify a set of indicators that occur in the urine to have diseases like cancer, liver problems, urinary infection or simply to monitor health.

This application could help bring something so common, such as urinalysis, to developing countries that can not afford to buy the machine with which you make, costing about $ 10,000 (about 7,600 euros). And while it is true that smartphones(ThL V12) are still expensive, the creator defends himself by saying that this is not always going to happen and that prices will decline over time.

"There needs to be a rethink in the way that health care reaches people," said Ingawale, is that this is not the only application that was created to improve the health and diagnostic tests can lead to other countries not have access to them. Last year, at the same fair, presented how they could do a blood test without removing this.

The application will be released in late March and will be available for iOS, but soon also be available for Android. The price is $ 20 (about 15 euros) and will include the implementation of the smartphone, five test strips and the surface on which to place them.

Comparative depth: Sony Xperia iPad Tablet Z vs 4 vs Nexus 10

The new Sony Xperia Z Tablet will arrive in a few months to fight high-end tablet market. Then face features a complete comparative beside the fourth generation iPad and Apple Google Nexus 10.

From next spring Sony will market a rival high in the tablet segment - ICOO Tablet PC. In line with what was shown with its smartphone Xperia Z, the Japanese manufacturer has opted for a high-end device with big ambitions to which must be added a number of peculiarities that make its Xperia Tablet Z in a very interesting option. These include its lightness, thinness and resistance to water and dust, something that his main rivals far behind. However, we will analyze down all its features alongside the iPad 4 and the Nexus 10.

Display and Design

Like the Nexus 10, the new team has a screen Sony appreciably higher than the iPad 4. While the Apple tablet remains in its historic 9.7-inch, both gadgets are betting on Android 10.1 inches. Where they differ on their rivals in the resolution of the same, since the new tablet is in 1920 x 1200 pixels compared to 2560 x 1600 Google team and the Retina display of 2048 x 1536 pixels on the iPad. Thus, the tablet manufactured by Samsung for Google stands out from its rivals by offering a density of 300 dpi by 264 dpi 224 iPad and the new team.

These panels are integrated into other designs and shapes both in the size of equipment. While the iPad 4 drink from that offered by its previous generations with slightly curved edges, this is most apparent in the Nexus 10 approaching what it offers in other devices like Samsung Galaxy S3 her. Meanwhile, the Xperia Tablet Z(Ifive Tablet PC) is the rectangular three in the Xperia line Z, the smartphone like this new market entrant.

The latter may be the least looked at when choosing one of these tablets, but while so are its dimensions and weight. The Sony team noted for its extreme thinness (just 6.9mm, even thinner than the phone in the same family). The fourth-generation iPad would become the most "fat" with Nexus 9.4 mm and 10 would be between the two with 8.9 mm. With respect to weight the same thing happens because the Xperia Z Tablet 495 grams remaining in the 603 and 662 by Nexus and iPad respectively.

 

Processor, graphics and RAM

In this section, Sony wanted to be a tipping point ahead of their rivals. Therefore decided to integrate a quad core processor Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5 GHz GPU Adreno accompanied by a 320 and 2 GB of RAM. For its part, Apple integrated a dual core processor A6X graphics chip PowerVR SGX-543MP4 and 1 GB of RAM, while the Nexus 4 opted for a dual core Exynos chip ARM Cortex-A15 to 1.7 GHz, Mali-T604 GPU and 2 GB of RAM - Onda Tablet PC. They all get a great performance, but the latest to hit the market is one step ahead of its rivals.

Storage Capacity

Here we see the wide variety of possibilities offered one and the other. The new Xperia Z Tablet will be available in two versions, with capacity for 32 and 64 GB to which we must add a plus of lacking the iPad 4 and the Nexus 10. We discussed the micro SD card slot, through which you can expand this memory up to 64 GB extra. Meanwhile, the Apple tablet is available in 4 versions (16, 32, 64 and 128 GB), while manufactured by Samsung has two models, 16 and 32 GB.

Cameras

In regard to the chambers of the three tablets also see as the Sony the lead. The company has opted to integrate a sensor Exmor R 8.1 megapixel camera on the rear face to provide a great quality. Both this and the 2.2-megapixel front offers the option to record video in Full HD (1080p), something that not enough competitors in this analysis in their front (1.9 and 1.2 megapixels in the Nexus case 10 and the iPad 4 respectively). Yes can record video in that capacity with its 5-megapixel rear cameras.

 

OS

User preferences are those marked either option. If you are passionate about the environment iOS no alternative and the fourth-generation iPad will be chosen if you intend on having a high-end tablet with this platform. The performance of the same on the iPad will not disappoint. Meanwhile, both the Z and Xperia Nexus Tablet Android 10 include Jelly Bean in different versions but it is striking that integrates Samsung manufactured by Sony's 4.2 and the 4.1.2 update which will assume immediate.

Connectivity

Analyzing this section we see great differences mainly with the Nexus 10. Google chose to launch a device with WiFi connectivity only while rivals have wanted to offer more variety in terms of user needs. So those who opt for an iPad 4 can do it with WiFi only or WiFi + 3G or LTE in areas where there is deployment by operators. In the case of the Sony tablet, the situation is similar. Furthermore, it should be noted that Android tablets offer NFC and Bluetooth connectivity while Apple only offers the latter regardless of GPS technology, included in all.

Battery

Despite being the last to hit the market, the Xperia Tablet Z will be the lowest offered in their battery capacity of 6000 mAh. This contrasts with integrating the iPad 4 (11,560 mAh) and the Nexus 10 (9000 mAh), which are around 10 and 9 hours of battery life respectively. Thanks, yes, the technical features of the Sony team achieved an approximate yield this time despite the smaller battery capacity, but for now know exactly how many hours equal.

 

Price

It is an essential feature for most users, it can decant for one or the other scale. For those who are willing to spend less, the cheapest option is the Nexus 10 16GB, whose price is set at 399 euros per Google Play. However, it is worth recalling the problems of stock of this device and today is impossible to buy in the Google store. The 32 GB ($ 499) is also unavailable.

Meanwhile, the cheapest model of Sony's new tablet will come for 499 euros (32 GB) and 599 (64 GB). Although not confirmed, would speak only WiFi versions, so you would have to add about 120 euros to include 3G/LTE as with Apple hardware. The iPad 4 also starts from 499 euros, although in his 16GB version. The prices for WiFi only versions of it are 599, 699 and 799 euros for models 32, 64 and 128 GB respectively.

Conclusions

This comprehensive comparative helped us see the details of each of these teams and what they offer their rivals. The final decision is up to the users, who will have to opt for the advantages of one or another manufacturer. If, for example, requires a budget tablet high definition on your screen and is not necessary to have large storage capacity, the logical choice would be the Nexus 10. If, however, you need more memory, performance and image quality on iPad 4 may be the right choice, while if you want a tablet with high power and low weight and thickness Tablet Xperia Z may fit better. In light of these facts, how you'd stay tablet of these three?
