It's well known that Samsung has a pretty sizeable budget for purpose of marketing and advertising, and with the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear smartwatch having recently been announced and subsequently released worldwide, the Korean outfit will doubtlessly be putting some of that vast wad to good use. The ball is already rolling with the first major ad for these two major releases, and in a break from convention, features some strange, borderline creepy puppets. Check it out after the break!
As soon as a new mobile device hits the market and even before, statisticians keenly run the hardware through a series of benchmark tests, which offer a fairly accurate idea of the general overall performance. In the past, we've seen evidence of Samsung rigging the International Galaxy S4's GPU to perform better when running these apps, and now, the folks of Ars Technica have concluded beyond doubt that the Korean company has been up to its tricks again with the Galaxy Note 3.
If you're an Android fan who is eagerly awaiting the release of the next-generation Nexus smartphone, then prepare yourself to feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The latest image that we are seeing flying around the web could potentially be the clearest and best quality leak of the device that we have seen to date and pretty much shows us exactly what's in store for the Nexus 5 - at least aesthetically.
Playing games on a PlayStation 3 or PC is great fun using a game controller like the Dual Shock 3 from Sony, but inputting data like usernames, passwords or messages to friends using the controller and an on-screen keyboard is no fun at all. Yes there are chatpads and keyboards available with an aim of making getting words onto the screen less of a chore, but that's further expense that in this day and age we can all do without. But, as is always the case, there's another way to achieve the same goal without spending a penny.
Here's our full video comparison of Apple iPhone 5S vs Samsung Galaxy S4. It seems fit to put iPhone 5s and Galaxy S4 through a rigorous comparison to see which one actually comes out on top.
As is always the case with such things, and especially anything involving streaming video or music, Google’s Chromecast dongle immediately attracted the attention of modders and developers alike. If there’s anything that gets the geek juices flowing it’s going to be a mini dongle with a bit if computing power. Sure enough, Chromecast was hacked, but in a good way which we users always like.
Having an Android device is certainly nice, owing to the open source nature of the platform. You can do all sorts of customizations, change pretty much everything in the OS itself, and if you’re really into it, completely change the look and feel of your device (software-wise, that is). However, as with any Linux based system, the true potential is unlocked when you gain superuser access, commonly known as rooting your device. These days, rooting is a fairly easy process, and you can find several tools that will help you get root access on your Android smartphone or tablet. Nevertheless, nothing beats a one-stop solution, and that’s what Kingo Android Root is offering. Let’s take a look.
Facebook may have been around for what feels like forever, but the social network is still missing one or two features that some of us have been crying out for. One of those features is something that seems rather simple on the face of it, and today Facebook announced that we will soon be able to edit our own posts on the social network.
In this Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Apple iPhone 5s comparison, we performed a mixture of browser load tests, comparing how fast each phone loaded websites of varying content richness. Also in the video, you'll find a collection of browser benchmarks which indicate how well a device's browser cope with certain important aspects of Internet such as HTML5 and JavaScript.
Amid the unprecedented turnout for the iPhone 5s, the launch of Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 has certainly found itself playing second fiddle, and although the Korean company is also the first of the big names to come through with a smartwatch, even the new wearable gizmo has scarcely managed to get a look in. But today, at least for consumers in the United Kingdom and 58 other countries, both the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear are now available to purchase, and if you were thinking of purchasing Samsung's two latest exports as a bundle, there are some pretty decent savings to be had.
