Jason MacKenzie , President of HTC, was happy about the event, but did not feel good about the South Korean company.

Despite this, it is more likely that the S IV have better sales than the One from HTC, as the Galaxy S line has become very popular in recent years, and especially in 2012.

LG has just launched something called Smart Video. What is Smart Video? Well this is a feature that allows you to play and pause videos automatically without the user having to touch your mobile screen and without even using a voice command. Does this sound familiar? This feature is extremely similar to the Smart Pause the Galaxy S IV . In fact, I think there is no difference between the two.
Based functions in monitoring our eyes are getting better and better.

Know Tizen ? This is an operating system that carries a mixed development model is based on Linux, oriented to mobile and was released last year. A smartphone Samsung high-end Tizen bear will be released this year as told by Lee Young-Hee, one of the executives of the company's mobile division. The same would be released between August and September about.
This was said in a recent interview in Seoul, South Korea. Lee said the high-end smartphone is and will be "the best product equipped with the best specifications." We're not sure if this was a slight exaggeration or not, but still leaves the future phone too well. This mobile Tizen will be one of the 3 supersmartphones that Samsung released this year, the others being the Galaxy S IV and future Galaxy Note.
There are currently no Tizen phone sales in the world, then the Samsung is likely to launch the first, unless one of the companies that are part of the project, such as Intel, debuts one before. Remember also that the rumors before all this saying that Tizen Samsung phones would be low and midrange range, but Lee's statements contrasted with that.
Currently, Tizen supports Bluetooth, NFC, can convert text to speech, run applications, HTML5 support and is compatible with Android applications thanks to the technology of Open Mobile ACL.

5 things the Galaxy S IV that could have been better

 

No devices are mobile perfect. No it is not, not even the iPhone Apple nor the Galaxy S IV of Samsung. The new smartphone from the South Korean company is really impressive, in that we agree, but in some departments could have been even better. Let's see what those five things that the Galaxy S IV left a little to be desired:
- More Plastic: The S IV can be seen similar to S Note II and III, but inside is much better. Still, when you have in hand is still felt that feeling that is just a piece of plastic. A light stainless steel finish has been given to the phone, but not enough, there are still a lot of plastic in between and this makes it really attractive.
-Screen: Yes, the screen is great, do not deny it, but 5 inches seem too and density of 441 pixels per inch is not enough. If we take as an example the new HTC One, we see that HTC has given a greater density of 468 pixels per inch in a space less than 4.7 inches.
-Camera: the camera is not anything special, may have some new features that make it quite llamtiva, but if we do not have that, we siplemente more of the same. The camera phone is not designed to be as effective as a digital camera user and have begun to realize that a few more megapixels resolution will not give us an amazing as we all hope. What needs to be improved here is the technology of the cameras and provide them with something like the Ultra-pixel, capable of very good shots in low light. Care, Ultra-pixel sensors are relatively new to draw any conclusions yet, but still you get the idea.
-Waterproof: the Sony Xperia Z is not only waterproof, but also dust and has an IP55/57 certified. Little Z is able to resist a dip smoothly and frankly it would be sad if our S IV dies after falling overboard.
-Overall design: the S IV fails in this, as did the S III. Samsung could not provide these phones with a design that makes them really attractive. What makes the mobile band are its powerful specifications, features and hardware , but the smartphone is not able to convey that feeling "premium" own other high end phones.
Despite all this, the S IV is undoubtedly the world's most advanced mobile today, only has a few things to polish.
What is your opinion? Do you think the Galaxy S IV has left something to be desired in those points?

Apple Strikes and mocks the S IV

Samsung has been very successful in the mobile market in recent years, but success does not come alone. Having a powerful smartphone is not all, propaganda is also important, and indeed the South Korean firm spent more than $ 400 million on ads in 2012. Some of the many business from Samsung, as we know, were derision towards Apple and their loyal fans who are able to stand in line for days to buy the latest addition to the apple. Remember that even took advantage of the failure of the iOS mapping application to mock Apple 6. The day of the presentation of the Galaxy S IV, the apple tried to return the favor, but a bit more serious.

Phil Schiller, Apple's marketing chief, attacked the Android operating system is a platform saying fragmented and old versions are the most used by users, but also said the new S IV integrate an operating system that has a year old.

Schiller is right that Android is an operating system fragmented, but where we can not give points is to say that the OS of S IV is old, as indeed was released just over a month (is version 4.2.2 ). Maybe Android 4.0 has more than one year on the market, but still the differences with the current version are remarkable.

However, the S IV has been well received and sales ravage insurance market as happened with the S III.

May not include Samsung Exynos processor and an AMOLED display on the Galaxy S IV

The advantage that a company have its own processors for use in mobile devices is that they can avoid having to resort to third and make agreements and contracts, not to mention that they can solve problems faster and have more control over the manufacturing process of the component . So far, several have used Samsung mobile processors that the company has created, but this may not remain so.

The South Korean company may be changing their strategies, as it would have chosen to use a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 600 to 1.9GHz on its new Galaxy S IV, instead of octa-core Exynos everyone expected. Besides this, the phone will not have an AMOLED display, but will include a Full HD SOLUX.

According to the site SamMobile, the processor on which Samsung has been working, the famous eight-core Exynos, has some overheating problems, which have led the manufacturer to take a new decision and opt for a CPU of Qualcomm.

Of course these are all just rumors. If you want to know the absolute truth about the Galaxy S IV, then remember that the smartphone will be presented on March 14 in New York.

Confirmed, the Galaxy S IV will be announced on March 14

 

There is a terminal that we are confident that Samsung will not present at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona this year, and that is the Galaxy S IV, the largest mobile device to be launched this year the South Korean company.

As stated, the official announcement of the smartphone will be next March 14 in the city of New York, as saying the many rumors we've seen in recent weeks.

"The Galaxy S III was presented in London (UK) last year, but this time we decided to change the place of the presentation as the U.S. mobile operators asked us many times to introduce the S IV in that country" were some of the words offered by JK Shin, head of Samsung's mobile division.

Frankly, a presentation event in which you feel comfortable driving around to your liking, it is much better than one in which you are surrounded by other companies and where most devices are also presented, such as the MWC 2013. Looking at things from that perspective, HTC and Samsung have opted either to introduce their new handsets in events themselves and a few days of the beginning and end of the MWC respectively.

There was no mention of the Galaxy S IV specifications, but is expected to have an octa-core Exynos processor or a Snapdragon 600, 2GB RAM, Full HD screen of 5 inches, a 13-megapixel camera and Android 4.2.2 .

Galaxy S IV would be delayed by problems with the Exynos 5

We have already seen a lot of rumors that talk about the future flagship smartphone from one of the leading companies in the technology industry. Of course we are talking about Samsung and its Galaxy S IV, which according to all forecasts will be released next month.

This obviously is not 100% safe, and in fact may not be so, since the Galaxy S IV could be delayed due to some problems with one of its components, its processor, the new cool Samsung Exynos five of eight cores . But these are not problems of incompatibility with mobile or anything, but a production problem which would delay the Galaxy S IV for a few weeks probably.

The fact of not having enough pieces of hardware for the first wave of units is something that can affect any device launch and subsequent sales that already happened to Apple a few times in the past, for example. We hope that this obviously is not the case of Samsung, because otherwise we will have to wait more than three weeks to see the new supersmartphone.
