Samsung to unveil curved screen smartphone and gold phone

As smartphone market becomes increasingly saturated, Samsung is set to unveil a smartphone with a curved screen – a technological innovation.

Curved displays are at a nascent stage in display technology which is shifting towards flexible panels that are bendable or can even be rolled or folded.

More Shocking news:

Everyone is making fun of Samsung this morning for blatantly copying Apple's winning strategy — releasing a gold Galaxy S IV right after Apple released and then quickly sold out of its gold iPhone 5S — when really it was Apple that copied Samsung. Samsung released a gold smartphone way back in August, weeks before the heavily rumored gold iPhone 5S release. The Galaxy Golden, a hybrid flip phone-smartphone concoction, even has "gold" in the name to remind you of its sheen, which is a bit hard to see in the Samsung picture at right.

We don’t know which is first but as consumers, no matter which wins we could enjoy the new smartphone at home. I like watching movies and I will use my new smartphone to watch blu-ray movies which have high definitions and are very amazing. I use a blu-ray player to enjoy it. Now this is your time to enjoy yourself.

iPhone 5S/5C sales, reaching 9 million over the opening weekend

Last Friday, iPhone 5S and 5C came to the market. Just over the opening weekend, the sales of this new iPhone reached to 9 million.

On the contrary, last year iPhone 5 was sold 5 million over the first weekend. But it was just in 9 markets while iPhone 5S and 5c were in 11 markets, incluing China, one of the most main markets.

Apple would reach a high sale if it has enough products in stock because iPhone 5S were all sold in the first weekend.

Moreover, Apple released it s new iOS 7 and it is updated by 200 million iOS devices.

Since BlackBerry is not what most people want? Which smarrtphone is the best choice? I prefer iPhone and I will use is to watch my favorite videos. Moreover, I use a bluray player which plays well in my phone and I recommend it many of my friends. 

Apple announces eighth edition of OS X 10.9 Mavericks developer preview

Apple Inc. (AAPL) iPhone 5C is clueless, says Fred Wilson

Yesterday, Apple Inc. announced its newest model, the so-called cheap iPhone. Venture capitalist is disappointed that iPhone 5C wouldn’t be as cheap as people expected and he called the company clueless.

He writes, “The C in 5C does not mean ‘cheap’ as I had hoped. It means clueless, as in clueless about how the vast majority of new smartphone users are paying for their phones”. Actually, iPhone 5C is not cheap. With a contract, it costs only $99 in the U.S., 450$ higher than without one. However, outside the U.S., contracts are much less common. It they want to own an iPhone 5C, they have to pay &700, almost 7 times of a contract phone.

So Fred Wilson says c stands for clueless and it is with same functions but higher price.

Apple event: announcing new iPhone 5s and 5c

Today is a special day because Apple announces its new products this morning.

iPhone 5s

On the surface, it looks like iPhone 5. With same shape and size, meanwhile there are a few visual changes which are a ring around the Home button and new metallic colors of gold, silver and space gray.

Just as people predict before, this new iPhone use a 63-bit A7 processor. It means the phone’s CPU and GPU are 40x and 50x faster than the original iPhone.

Moreover, this iPhone 5s will come in three metallic shades, which feels like gold, silver and lead.

iPhone 5c

This iPhone has five colors: white, pink, green, blue and yellow. “iPhone 5C is beautifully, unapologetically plastic,” Jony Ive said in a video shown at the event. You can pre-order the iPhone 5C starting September 13; it will be available in stores on September 20.

iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 will release in Quarter 4, iPad 2 continues producing

According to KGI Securities analyst Mingchi Kuo, iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 will probably release in the fourth quarter of this year, which is different from the news that these products will release on Sep. 10.

"Since iPad mini 2 will feature better resolution with retina display, we think its [processor] will have the same grade as iPad 5 – the A7X," Ming-Chi Kuo wrote in a research note, MacRumors reports. "But we now believe that iPad mini 2 may be pulled in for launching in late 2013."

Several days later, we will see new iPhone and this is the most exciting news. 

Sony announces Xperia Z1, with 5 inch 1080p screen and 20.7 megapixels

Recently, many corporations announce their new products. Apple, Samsung and Sony unveil their smartphones one after another.

Sony announces its new smartphone and camera lenses.

Like the Xperia Z, the Z1 is completely waterproof. You can submerge it in water to a depth of 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes. If you've destroyed a phone by dropping it in the toilet -- or by making calls in the rain -- the Z1 might be the phone for you. It keeps water out by sealing its ports with smaller flaps. While the Xperia Z placed a flap over the headphone jack, the Z1 has simply made the jack itself waterproof, meaning you don't need to undo it every time you want to plug your headphones in.

Probably the most exciting update to the Z1 is the camera, which now boasts a whopping 20.7 megapixels. That's a significant jump from the 13 megapixels of its predecessor, but Sony says that there's more than just a megapixel bump going on.

The sensor size, at 1/2.3-inch, is bigger than what you'd find on your normal smartphone and is similar to the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom's (1/2.33-inch). In comparison, the iPhone 5 uses a small 1/3.2-inch sensor, and the HTC One's UltraPixel sensor is slightly larger at 1/3-inch. The Nokia Lumia 1020 has the biggest sensor at 1/1.5-inch for smartphones running a modern OS.

Samsung new Galaxy Gear, Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 10.1 unveiled finally

Yesterday afternoon, Samsung officially unveiled its new products. They are highly anticipated Galaxy Gear, Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition.

Samsung says the Gear can act as an extension to a smartphone by discreetly alerting users to incoming messages and calls on its display screen, which measures 1.63 inches diagonally.

Now I will introduce them one by one. First, it’s the new Galaxy Gear.

Galaxy Gear

People are all focus on the smartphone of Samsung because it is the first time that Samsung develop a smartphone. Several days ago, some pictures of this mysterious smartphone leaked and there are few differences between leaked photos and new devices.

The Galaxy Gear, which has a 1.6-inch screen and weighs 2.6 ounces, looks relatively similar to other smartwatches on the market. But it does have some unique features, such as a 1.9 megapixel camera embedded in the strap and a built-in speaker that allows users to conduct hands-free calls.

Users can even make calls, secret agent-style without getting out their phone. The Gear also sports a basic camera and works with popular social media and fitness apps such as Twitter and RunKeeper. The Android-powered device starts shipping in most countries Sept. 25 starting at $299.

Moreover, Samsung announced 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 3 smartphone too.

Galaxy Note 3

The screen sizes have been creeping up slightly from Note to Note. The first version from 2011 measured in at 5.3 inches, followed by the Note II at just over 5.5 inches, followed by the Note 3 at just shy of 5.7 inches.
There’s a 2.3GHz quad-core processor, three gigabytes of RAM, a big 3,200mAh battery and a 13-megapixel camera.
The Galaxy Note 3 will be available starting in October. Prices haven’t yet been set by U.S. carriers.

Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition

Samsung also revealed its latest revision of the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. Dubbed the "2014 Edition," Samsung's latest tablet measures just 7.9 millimeters thick and is billed as the "ultimate productivity" device. It's also seen an uptick in resolution compared to the previous model, now featuring a high-res 2560 x 1600 display. In fact, it's basically identical to the panel we've previously seen on Google's Nexus 10, which of course is manufactured by Samsung. That's about where the hardware similarities end, though.

As you'd expect, Samsung is bringing the same new software features and apps found on the Note III to the larger tablet. Air Command and improved takes on S Pen and Multi-Window are all included. Like the Note III and Galaxy Gear smartwatch, it will be released worldwide in 149 countries on September 25th. 

From this we can see Samsung is seeking for best product so we should believe in it and continue using Android products. As to me, it makes me easy to use a phone to do what they want. By my phone and tablets, I will watch my favorite movies; no matter they are English, French or Chinese. Though sometimes I feel a little confused, I’d like to know how people live in other countries. I use a blu-ray player and it can alter languages, of course in your PC. If you use a mobile phone, it can also play audios and videos. The only thing you need to do connect your tablets and make it useful and you could just enjoy your movies here. This player is amazing and I like it.http://www.blurayplayermac.com/
