I’ve expressed my disappointment with the Galaxy S5 already - in all fairness, it’s nothing but a modest upgrade over last year’s Android flagship from Samsung, the Galaxy S4. However, it’s still become a coveted piece of technology, and we’re sure that the sales numbers for the new device will be impressive as ever.
The first rumored, then highly anticipated flagship of the year, the Samsung Galaxy S5 has finally been unveiled, and most disappointingly, has left most of the Internet (read: technology world) unimpressed. Irrespective of how the device has been perceived, what followed was pretty much exactly what we see after every flagship device sees the light of day - comparisons upon comparisons to decide which is the best gadget money can buy. And Galaxy S5 has been no different.
The quality of mobile gaming is definitely improving, but some of us are old enough to remember the excitement that Nintendo's original Entertainment System (NES) and Game Boy brought into our lives. We've seen emulators galore being released over the last few weeks that bring the pleasure of the old school Nintendo experience to our iOS and Android devices, meaning that it shouldn't really come as a shock that a new Game Boy emulator from Ben Midi has appeared for iOS, Android and Windows users.
Samsung has been extremely keen to tell the world that the "next big thing is here", but they haven't exactly been forthcoming with the amount of internal storage that will be available to consumers when they get their hands on the latest in the Galaxy S range. Initial reports coming out of the Galaxy S5 event at this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona is suggesting that almost 50% of the S5's storage capacity is taken up by Samsung's pre-installed apps.
The announcements at MWC 2014 are flowing, and we’re covering them as they happen. One of the big guns that unveiled some remarkable tech today was Samsung, and boy, did they have things to offer. Other than the shiny new flagship in the Galaxy lineup, the Galaxy S5, Samsung showcased three new contenders in its Gear lineup, showing just how serious the Korean manufacturer is about this line of business.
The wait is officially over! Samsung has finally announced The Next Big Thing, the Galaxy S5. It’s packed with some new features which are sure to entice a lot of people in the year to come, and as ever, we have all the details, including specs, pricing and release date.
We first managed to get a glimpse of the Sony SmartBand during this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, with the company now announcing that the extremely lightweight wearable is set for a global launch next month. The SmartBand is the first of presumably a number of products that will be built to utilize Sony's new Core fitness tracking hardware and will come with a retail price of $130 when it lands on shelves next month.
My my, what a day today! Just hours before the official unveiling of the Galaxy S5 at MWC, we finally have live images leaked for the upcoming Android flagship from the Korean smartphone and consumer electronics manufacturer, Samsung. And boy, do these images have a story to tell.
Here's everything you need to know about Nokia X, Nokia X+, Nokia XL Android powered smartphones, including specs, release date and price.
For quite a while now, it has been apparent that Samsung could deliver two rather different handsets at the point of the Galaxy S5's launch, and with the MWC showcasing just a couple of days away, an Amazon listing has all-but confirmed this to be the case. Spigen, maker of numerous smartphone cases and accessories, has sought to beat competitors to the draw by retailing its range of Galaxy S5 cases prior to the announcement, and in doing so, has suggested that there will, in fact, be separate "Prime" and "Standard" models.
