LG unveils Smart Video in G Optimus Pro

 

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. Obviously Smart Video works using the front camera of your mobile phone, although currently only available for the G Optimus Pro As I said, it works using the front camera to track the user's eyes, and as soon as it detects that look in a direction that is not towards the screen, the video you're playing is automatically paused. When looking back to the mobile, the pause is removed so that we continue to enjoy alone.
Thanks to this new type of functions we will not miss a scene when distracted us and look the other way.
What do you think about the functions that make use of eye-tracking? Do you find useful or not?

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. 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. And something more: there are rumors that it will launch a version of the S III will run on this operating system, but no official statements.

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?

BlackBerry has received an order for 1 million units

As said by the company BlackBerry, the firm has received the order of 1 million units of its new mobile phones, which makes it the largest order in the history of the company. Not yet disclosed who made such a request, but I'm sure I'm not the only person eager to know. Everything indicates that the order came from one of his associates, but no one seems to be aware of who he is.

Given the large number of devices, it is possible that whoever did this request is none other than the Government of Canada. The truth is that today it is likely that even the U.S. government can require as many phones, so we can not think of any reason anyone would want to buy.

The first earnings report after the launch of BlackBerry platform BB10 will be released near the end of this month, so then you can see how well he has gone to the Canadian company in this area.

What would you do with 1 million units of the new Z10 and Q10 BlackBerry?

Google continues to eliminate services

Since one of the founders of Google, Larry Page took over as CEO two years ago, many of the services that the firm began offering search engine to be dropped for various reasons. Now it has been announced that another 8 Google services will not be available in a few months.

What are they? For the following: Apps Script API CalDAV, the Building Maker, Cloud Connect, Google Voice for BlackBerry, Shopping API and finally Snapseed Macintosh. But wait, those are seven still missing one, and the truth is that I'll mention it separately because it is a well-used product: Google Reader. It seems that all of them will be retired on July 1.

Google admits that the Reader has its loyal followers, so it's not entirely clear because it removed. For now nor have announced future service that can serve as a replacement for all these, but perhaps one day be thrown. For now at least we can use the Calendar API as replacement CalDAV API, Map Maker as the new Building Maker and Google Cloud Drive as a replacement for Connect.

We have been following the trail to the Galaxy S IV for a long time without a doubt, and at this point, with a few hours to see it officially, probably little mind seeing some leaked pictures of the phone, but still, here should be.
