Hollywood's Dolby Theatre may have been packed to the rafters with the big screen's A listers last night, but for the technology conscious amongst us there turned out to be a better reason to tune into The 86th Academy Awards. As some of the most successful men and women in cinematic history were strutting up and down the red carpet in their uber expensive gowns and suits, one of the most successful companies in smartphone history was gearing up to show off its latest flagship device to a captive audience. Yes, that's right, South Korean based Samsung used last night's Oscars ceremony to air the first commercial for its soon-to-be-released Galaxy S5 smartphone.
Want to fix Android lag on Galaxy S4? This handy guide will help you speed up Samsung Galaxy S4. Before we go into what you actually need to do, let’s understand what lag is. There can be two types of lag, one being what you face when launching an app, for instance, where the device seems to take a couple of seconds before it actually executes your command. Such lag usually comes from an underpowered processor or insufficient RAM, and the OS is forced to unload and reload a variety of data into RAM before it can compile and run the application. The second, and arguably more frustrating, lag is when the overall interface feels sluggish, which is not necessarily Android’s fault.
Samsung's recent unveiling of the Galaxy S5 was met with a collection of moans and groans from analysts and consumers who were expecting something a little more "premium" from the Korean company. Rumors of a S5 model built with a more advanced technical specification and higher quality exterior have been circulating for quite some time, and although Samsung dampened a few spirits during the recent Mobile World Congress presentation, it appears that all hope is not yet lost. In an effort to appeal to the higher-end market, and compete directly with the likes of HTC, Samsung look set to introduce a premium Galaxy S5 model that would be the backbone of a luxury F line of devices.
So after all the talk, all the leaks and a healthy dose of speculation, it's finally been announced. The leaks might have left us with less of a surprise than Samsung would have liked, but the Galaxy S5 is now official, and everyone's talking about it.
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.
