The Much Anticipated Phone of the Year Has Finally Arrived – SAMSUNG Galaxy S IV

It was a great day in New York. This day was 14th March 2013, when Samsung introduced its latest technological marvel, the Samsung Galaxy S IV. The event was a huge hit. Thousands of people were entertained by a live orchestra. Samsung invited seventeen actors to display the amazing features of this phone in a series of theatrically scripted performances.

Considering the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, we knew that the S4 wasn’t going to be small. With dimensions of 69.8mm x 136.6mm and 7.9mm thick, it’s surprisingly thinner than the S3 and feels far from big to hold. Weighing it at 130g, it’s heavier than the iPhone 5 (112g) and lighter than Sony Xperia Z (146g). But, the extra heft of Samsung Galaxy S4 gives a reassuring feel in the hand.

Some of the great features in Samsung’s Galaxy S4 are:

  • A big 5-inch HD screen with 440 PPI
  • A 13-megapixel rear camera and a front-facing 2-megapixels camera, including new features such as Dual shot and Drama Shot.
  • Exynos OCTO 1.6 Ghz processor with 2 GB RAM

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the latest innovation from Samsung. Samsung has managed to build a bigger 5 inch HD screen into a body slightly smaller than its previous Galaxy S3 phone. The Galaxy S4 has certain features that will give tough competition to Blackberry as well. This new Flagship phone from Samsung has all the required specifications that can give tough competition to Apple’s iPhone 5 and could easily become the king of all the Android powered Smartphones.

Android – Leading the Smartphone App. World

In the recently conducted 4-day Mobile World Congress 2013, it was clear to all the Smartphone developing industries that this is going to be a highly competitive year for them. With almost every Smartphone being technically flawless, the pressure falls to the application developers. The latest ABI Research predicts that Smartphone app downloads would reach around 56 billion in 2013. According to the research data:

  • ‘Android’ leads with its 58 percent share in the app world.
  • In second place, there is ‘iOS’ which has a share of 33 percent.
  • Windows phone has secured around a 4 percent share.
  • And finally, BlackBerry is at 3 percent.

ABI also predicts a growing number of Smartphone-focused developers will adopt an Android-first strategy within the year due to the platform’s “vast installed base and the generally improved conditions in app building.” This is something that has been widely trumpeted for a while now but has yet to surface given Google’s fragmentation problem.

We can assume that Google will actually benefit from Android being the front runner in app development. Android’s open design and easily re-programmable firmware has prompted the app developers to work more extensively towards customized apps. It has provided the developers an open ground to work on. They can make their customers a more user friendly interface which can be restructured and upgraded any time. This kind of flexibility from Android has attracted a large number of people. Thus, making the Android powered Smartphone a success.

HTC One – The New Flagship Smartphone

The Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer has made a brave effort to introduce the HTC One’s new flagship Smartphone just ahead of Mobile World Congress which is going to take place in Barcelona, Spain on 25th Feb 2013. This came as a big surprise to the impatiently waiting consumers when they were introduced to this new handset at two simultaneous press events in New York and in London.

The new HTC One is heavily loaded with first-class features and technology and includes the latest processing chip from Qualcomm. Apart from the latest technology, the handset’s aluminum build is exquisite and breathtaking. Another thing to notice is the front facing stereo speakers, especially designed to enhance your music and movie experience. It has Google’s latest OS, Android Jelly Bean. It also flaunts a magnificent looking 4.7-inch HD screen.

HTC One’s new features:

An ultra-pixel camera – With just a 4 megapixel resolution, the focus remains on the new image sensor system that claims to capture 300 percent more light than the other handsets in its class.
Blinkfeed – Also being referred to as Generation feed, it is designed to give you instant updates and news feeds at any time of the day or night.
HTC Zoe – A new image sense system that captures a 3 second picture to give the feel of an animated picture.

The other area HTC has upgraded in a big way is the music experience, and in two relatively large ways. The first is the music player itself, which now comes with lyrics where available, and an all-new visualizer to let you play the music on a desk or dock. For information visit http://bit.ly/VFbAlv

With HTC One, the company has come up with a unique design and numerous upgrades to give fierce competition to its rivals like Iphone5 and Sony’s Xperia Z. It is praiseworthy that HTC has still managed to bring new innovations in things like user interface and camera functionality. HTC One – the new flagship smartphone is definitely going to create an interest for itself in this competitive smartphone market.

Sony’s Xperia Z – Teasing our Patience

Sony- One of the biggest names in the electronics industry is steadily but swiftly re-establishing itself in this rapidly evolving smartphone age. They were facing imminent danger of becoming irrelevant after manufacturing archaic phones with obsolete hardware. However, Sony recently staged a strong comeback with conviction by announcing their latest addition to the Smartphone family (Sony’s Xperia Z ) at the International Consumer Electronics Show in January.

This new Phone is now being highly anticipated by the people. Xperia Z stands tall over all the phones in its competition with an upgraded operating system, Android 4.1 Jelly bean. Xperia Z is one of the first Sony Smartphones to have the latest Android OS on board. People are growing impatient just to have a look at this new innovation.

An interesting feature of the Sony Xperia Z is that it’s actually a rugged phone. The handset is IP57 certified with the 5 meaning that it’s protected against dust, and 7 meaning that you can immerse it in up to 3 feet / 1 meter of water, for up to about 30 minutes. Such rugged features are usually reserved for lower-class, niche type of Smartphones, but we’re glad that Sony is trying to shake things up here by making its top Smartphone that much more resistant to the forces of nature.

New Generation iPhone S5 Expected to Come in 6 to 8 Colors

Misek also predicted that it would come in 6-8 colors, similar to the iPod Touch. The report said that Horace Dediu at Asymco had an interesting theory why Apple would speed up its release cycle. “This year, Apple’s sales dipped significantly two quarters before the launch of a new iPhone. Consumers held off because they knew a new phone was coming. Apple wants to avoid loading all its sales in one half of the year. By accelerating its product releases it can avoid his problem,” Business Insider pointed out.
