Mozilla and Samsung working on a new browser

Mozilla and Samsung working together? Frankly, this is a somewhat unusual combination.What is not unusual (at least for Mozilla) is that they are working on a new browser for mobile phones . Yes, both companies are collaborating on a new project known as " Servo ".

Changes between two versions of Android simply by pressing a button

A couple of students from the St. Petersburg Academy have created a magical function for our smartphone . What does this function? It allows us to switch between two different versions of Android with just pressing a button. This kind of creation could be very useful for developers and also for those wishing to try a new version of Android without compromise to have running on your phone now. Of course, before you start using this feature, anyone will investigate how to perform a full backup of everything you have on your smartphone today.

Overall, the event was interesting, although people of Samsung was spent giving details on how useful it would be S IV functions in some fictional scenarios, instead of concentrating on talk a little more about the phone itself. Jason MacKenzie , President of HTC, was happy about the event, but did not feel good about the South Korean company.

Samsung will launch a high-end smartphone Tizen in August or September

 

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.

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?
