Samsung Galaxy S4: Introducing another iPhone competitor

Samsung Electronics is ready to take on the iPhones of the world. The features-rich Samsung Galaxy S4 was unveiled in New York’s Radio City Music Hall earlier and, naturally, one of the most anticipated smartphone devices ever since...um...uh...the iPhone 5 is  ready to hit the mobile market.

My sources say that the android device is run on Exynos 5 Octa Processor - that's one bit almost faster than the iPhone 5 - and if the system is anything to consider its potential in the market, Asia is already mighty agog. The device would be released probably simultaneously in the UK and India in April as well, according to reports.

So what is all the ado about this newcomer from the Samsung Galaxy stable? In the first place the S4 comes with a display of 4.99” 16M-color Super AMOLED HD capacitive touchscreen. The resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels (441ppi). That's slightly smaller than the Samsung Galaxy SIII but with a bigger and brighter screen. Here it is, isn't it good looking?

The operating system in the S4 is Android 4.2.2 Jellybean while the processor is 1.6 GHz Quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 and 1.2 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 / 1.9GHz Krait 300. The RAM looks okay with 2GB Memory (internal storage of 16/32GB/64GB with a microSD card slot.)

Camera: What about the camera - obviously the biggest feature we all would love to know right? Well, it big - 13 MegaPixel auto-focus; 2 MP front-facing. Happy now? The S4 also has a face-detection, touch focus and image stabilization, Dual Shot functionality and of course "Cinema" photo facilities.

Video: Full HD (1080p) at 30fps Dimensions: 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9mm, 130 gm Battery: 2600 mAh

Connectivity: Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, standard microUSB, GPS receiver with A-GPS and GLONASS, NFC, Infrared port.

Thanks for reading. Keep checking in for updates. I'll returns after submitting my news report to the Editor! :)

The only UC Browser version that works on Samsung Wave 525 (Bada OS)

It's been about 4 years since the Samsung Wave 525 was launched. When it came out in 2010, it was one of the best mid-segment "smartphones" that hit the market. How many momentous, technologically-superior smartphones have come and gone since the Bada OS Wave?  The 525 must now feel like a dinosaur - and it is. In terms of its web browser, the most troublesome dinosaur ever. Prior to using the Samsung Wave, I'd used several other phones and none gave me any problem when using the internet as did the 525.  Browsing experience had never been so much a problem unlike the one the 525 gave me since i bought it three years ago. The various versions of UC Browser , a nifty little mobile browser that was touted to be the "fastest browser" for mobile phones that time, was the choice of wave 525 users. The only problem? In a world where every app and gadget was either android or windows, none worked for Bada OS (Samsung's own operating system). The Sams...
