Really Huge HTC One

Samsung Gear VR – a good friend of your smartphone

Have you ever wondered about creating your own reality using the new VR Handset connected with your own Samsung mobile?

Samsung has confirmed the release of a new virtual reality headset coming this September introducing itself on IFA 2014 together with the new Galaxy Note 4. This is not just another spectacle for simple fun, as it connects with your Galaxy device by the means of USB 3.0. And it is no wonder why the new Note 4 and Galaxy S5 will both have USB inputs.

Such connection is performed in order to lighten the glass device using the Smartphone’s accelerometer, gyroscope and its processing power that gives the headset ability to use external sources for head tracking and visualizing of the virtual reality with no additional consumption of its own.

Less assembled the device will certainly compete on the price level with other similar projects. But knowing Samsung’s addiction to high price level being already luxury brand do not expect them to sell it you as Google’s Cardboard made of carton.

But don’t delude yourself about the additives of the device, as it also has a touchpad to navigate the interface and a button allowing users to see the world through the rear cameras on their phones.

While Samsung is developing this hardware, the creators of Oculus Rift are creating the software for it, so just imagine the variety of gaming apps for the upcoming device on your eyes.

Distribution of new iPad Mini 3 and iPad Air 2 will commence on 24th of October

Apple is preparing for a big event, which will be held on Thursday the 14th of October. Expected reason of this meeting will be presentation of new tablets iPad Mini 3 and iPad Air 2 with Retina display we reviewed earlier and was awaited for a soonest release.

We know, someone always speculating on the release date, but we have no doubt that the anticipated crowd will finally get what they are up to get when standing in a line in front of an Apple store after the rumors confirmed.

If the developers will finally declare about the release date at the event on 16th of October, then the first pre-orders will start on the 17th. The main idea is to be in the upper part of the list to get the tablet faster than the others. Anyway a week is a period you will have to deal with awaiting your pre-ordered device, as it was with every Apple’s device before. And if you want to be the first to buy the device in stores, don’t expect that everybody will be waiting for you on Friday the 24th of October and letting you pass through the enormous crowd of fans willing to buy a new tablet.

Speaking about two devices at a time, it is expected for them to save their usual design concept associated with the each tablet series, but their inner contents will be revised thoroughly. Just like iPhone 6 tablets will be granted with a built in new fingerprint sensor, second generation 64-bit processor Apple A8. Both devices will also come with Apple Pay, which will be launched upon release of iOS 8.1.

Besides all above mentioned we also expect to see a number of other new Apple's devices such as Mac Mini, iMac’s, and a new Apple TV, which will have to fight with a PlayStation TV from Sony.

The Achilles heel of Warrior S8 is Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and 2000mAh battery that not enough, when a large display works with a voracious OS. It can be a great name among budget smartphone, if Lenovo will select an Android 4.4 KitKat as the operating system.

Lenovo has launched the Golden Warrior S8 smartphone this year for $130. It was assumed that the novelty will be intended only for the China market, but now the company has sales in other regions.
