Nokia has sought to address the shortcomings and limitations of the Windows Phone platform by packing immensely good cameras into its high-end devices, and the fact that the Lumia 920's snapper is still widely considered the best in the business is a testament to that fact. Nokia's so-called 'PureView' technology with OIS is back for another round in the upcoming Lumia 928 handset, which looks a modest refresh on the current flagship, and to show you just how good the 928's shooter is, Nokia has put together a little comparison video pitting the camera against that of the Samsung Galaxy S III and Apple's iPhone 5 in low lighting conditions.
The Galaxy S4 may have only just been released by Samsung, but already, the Korean outfit appears to be planning a whole host of spin-off versions of its flagship handset. As with last year's release of the S III, which eventually spawned a multitude of different variants, Samsung is looking to widen the appeal of the Galaxy S4 with a sparse line-up. Following in the footsteps of the already-speculated Galaxy S4 Mini and a further, waterproof / dustproof model, SamMobile reports that the company is preparing a Galaxy S4 Zoom, complete with a 16-megapixel camera.
While Apple tends to release just one new smartphone every year, the opposite is true of rival Samsung. The Korean outfit seems to have a new handset ready every couple of weeks, and with the Galaxy S4 making its presence known having just been released, another notably similar device has just been announced. Named the Galaxy Core, it borrows quite a few aesthetic features from the new flagship Galaxy S4, and we've got all the important information coming up right after the break!
Samsung does pretty well to pack in some impressive specs into its handsets, in particular those of its flagship Galaxy S range, but even though the 2012-released Galaxy S III packs in a very workable 1GB of RAM, sometimes, it doesn't seem to stretch far enough. Now, I wouldn't count myself as a Galaxy S III "user" as such, for I have never used one as my daily runner, but I do interact with the device several times a week, and one thing I've noticed is that even though there is a gig of RAM, it does seem to get used up rather quickly, and naturally, this brings about the rather unwanted issue of lag. If you feel your device also uses up a lot of RAM but you're uncertain of where it's all going, we have sensitive information which could well result in the successful recapture of some of that precious random-access memory; details after the leap!
If you're in ownership of a Galaxy S III, it's probable that you've had it for quite a while now. With the next wave of Androids having landed with the likes of the HTC One and the S III's just-released successor, it'll perhaps also be feeling a little on the slow side, particularly if some of your friends are early adopters of the latest and greatest devices. If you don't feel as though your S III is as smooth as its should be on certain occasions, we've got a quick tip on how you can try and speed things up. More details after the break!
CyanogenMod is one of the most popular aftermarket Android firmware, and despite some early suggestions that the all-new Galaxy S4 would throw up issues when it came to compatibility with CM, it now seems as though those reservations were a tad overstated. Steve Kondik, the lead developer behind the entire Cyanogen project, has taken to G+ showcase the very first Galaxy S4 builds, which are now available for the T-Mobile and Canadian variants of the flagship handset. More details can be found right after the jump.
Whenever Samsung launches or releases a new device, one of its first ports of call is to take a swipe at Apple, and with the Galaxy S4 currently making its way to numerous markets around the world, it should be of little surprise to see the U.S. arm of the Korean company deliver another not-very-devastating blow to its Cupertino rival. This latest ad, entitled 'Grad Pool Party,' sees scores of Galaxy S4 fans nonchalantly showing off some of the device's snazzy features like Air Gestures, and when the iPhone 5 users ask whether they can get in on the act, they are, of course, rebuffed. Check out the video after the break, you really don’t want to miss this!
As well as the popular Galaxy S range, Samsung also has a semi-flagship device in the larger-than-life Note, often described as a "phablet" due to its sizable display real estate. As well as looking similar to each other in terms of form factor, the devices tend to use many of the same components, and according to a specs leak, the Galaxy Note 3 could be following in the footsteps of the Galaxy S4 by offering an octa-core processor.
Iron Man Fever is currently gripping fans of the Marvel series in light of the theatrical release of Iron Man 3 worldwide, and having recently spawned a full-size Iron Man suit for the real-die hard fan to drool over, the merchandise mill continues to barrage us with daily updates. In the offing for today is a delightful Iron Man 3 case for the all-new Samsung Galaxy S4, and while it's not going to tempt me away from getting an HTC One, I have to admit, it's pretty darn cool.
We've all said something on Twitter that we probably shouldn't have, but one tennis star actually managed to say the right thing, just using the wrong smartphone.
