Samsung added the next entry to its growing catalog of gadgets with the debut of a new Gear SmartWatch. We have seen the evolution of this from the first Samsung Gear, then crossing the Gear Live and now the world is entering an era of Gear S.
Unlike its predecessors smartwatch gets its own 3G connection. So Gear S doesn't have to be tied to your smartphone evermore, which is quite a significant advantage over Moto 360.
Looking closely, it becomes apparent that the family ties have dominated over the desire to do something new, but these are traditions of Samsung's rectangular watches. Oh no, this is not a caprice of engineers or designers, this form is dictated exclusively by structure of the human body, appropriateness and convenience, that also promotes the transfer to more perfect design of the dial. Concerning the integration of new technologies and techniques the Gear S corresponds to the general spirit of nowadays.
Primarily attracts attention a curved 2-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 360х480 pixels, that elegantly wraps your wrist. Another nice surprise is the height of the side edge, the thickness of which is not comparable to the progenitors. There are also more nonpresumable things to find inside, such as signs of intelligence presented with a dualcore processor 1.0GHz. 512MB of RAM, along with its own 4GB of storage. Among other things there are 2G/3G, WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, A-GPS and USB 2.0.
Samsung says that the Gear S features a protection against dust and water. It will help you stay connected even while taking a shower. It is dubious privilege but it could be checked only in practice. Another interesting fact is that the battery contains 300mAh charge which should last for a few days.
Of course, the Samsung Gear S SmartWatch will also work jointly with your smartphone using all inherent advantages of such a tandem. Bracelet easily copes with the tasks of vibration notifying about the incoming calls and messages, some applications of Health, Running, Voice and regular for these devices apps like News, Weather, gallery, Email, media player, notifications and etc. The great thing is an ability to use the device as a stand-alone handset through its own SIM and headset.
There’s no information about the details of the launch date, although it can be assumed to release in October with a $400 price tag. Samsung does not want and does not like to make new items cheap, becoming a tradition. They make a big step today that undoubtedly is a part of a decisive strategy leading to wide production of flexible displays, which will have a possibility to be locked from both of display edges, not using the bracelet.

Forget about the FullHD once and for all. The time of rough technologies, such as 1920×1080 resolution has already passed just as the black and white displays did. 4K is replacing the old formats, after which we can only expect the 8K picture quality and holograms for all kinds of video streaming.
Hatsune Miku is an outstanding example of the far away future that lies before us, as the presence effect will not be required to be created artificially, as the physical presence will be actual. Speaking about today we can observe that a lot of small video cameras have acquired ultra-high video quality content generating abilities, for example GoPro Hero 4 has already obtained 4K video recording quality with no bug shots or other inaccuracies on the run. But not all of the video output devices can extract the same video quality on the screen. It makes your mind blow when looking at the really expensive segment of TV sets, while the monitors have significantly dropped behind due to shortage of inches through the diagonal. But now it’s over and LG 31MU97 Display Cinema 4K monitor will prove it.
Another raid in 4K sector is made by LG having enough of experience in this sphere. This monitor was spotted at the exhibition in Berlin. Now it is ready to be part of the desktop of each professional designer, cinema fan or gamer, if the PC allows to play at such high resolution. The top-priority issue is the PC power, which outlines the limits of the video picture on the screen. Almost every computer today can produce the picture on the 4K quality display, but playing on high specs requires extra power, which may be solved soon enough, when the cheaper graphics chipsets appear on the market. Anyway you will have the 4K standard at you home sooner or later.
Nowadays everywhere an ultra-high video quality appears and stops to be only a specialized tool for video decoders or graphic editors and more people now can enjoy this all day long. As the American wisdom says, if it's available, why not to have it? The 4K panel with a resolution 4096x2160 pixels will suit everybody, moreover there's an additional advantage comparing to other models on the market - IPS Digital Cinema display, which supports 99.5 percent of the Adobe RGB color space and two different color modes allowing you to compare images in two different color schemes. The starter kit also includes True Color Pro software pack from LG to ease the process of color calibration using the hardware.
LG 31MU97 4К monitor will go on the world tour starting from US, South Korea, Germany, Australia and Great Britain this week and will get to Netherlands, Spain, Poland and Japan only a month later. So there is still time to look around and search for other 4K monitors coming up if you are really interested to get yourself a new acquisition on the desktop. The price tag is still unrevealed. But don't expect the devaluation of the product keeping in mind the variety of the functions and superb video quality on the screen. As there's always a buyer for the realistic quality, not eager to overpay for the abstract stuff.

We have heard that Motorola is working on a new version of the Moto X. Furthermore now it looks like the company has dropped out from their pocket a new version of the Moto G with the prefix 2.
There is only a bit of information about the specifications which were disclosed recently. Inside we can expect a similar to the Moto G 4.5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels and density of 326 ppi. Under the hood a significant performance boost is expected. Сurrent prototype of the new Motorola Moto G2 is equipped with a quad core processor ARMv7 VFPv4 NEON, 2GB of RAM and an Adreno 305 graphics accelerator chip.
A controversial issue is also camera's armament. The novelty will get a 2MP camera in front and a rear camera 8MP caliber on the backside. The big question is how many SIM cards will support Moto G2. We are inclined to assume that both options make sense. Like its predecessor the new Motorola handset took on board the same Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, port MicroUSB 2.0 and Android 4.4 KitKat as operating system.
As yet there are no details about capacity of the battery or price. The official launch date was appointed to September 4th, but we can presume for sure it is planned for fall, as it will make Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, for example.

It’s a mystery why Amazon wants to exhaust Google using the Chromecast TV Stick, when we have realized that they are useless on the market. Nevertheless we see that Amazon has entered the struggle with the Fire TV streaming media device on the shoulders.
It seems that the epic story will continue as far as these two companies exist on the market. Amazon will try to bite the search agent giant and the latter will keep leading astray the online shop with its Nexus Player TV unless both of them will start to create really useful stuff. At this time Sony sneers at other companies while producing their new PlayStation consoles and PlayStation TV obtaining the destructive approach to a potential Apple TV.
Your TV can also accept Amazon TV Stick with a dual-core Broadcom Capri 28155 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of storage, which is twice bigger than Google offers, though not increasing the price of it at all. You may consider Fire Stick to be better for you having the “well-known experience”, as the device is coming along with the pack of games and streaming content from the major service's like HBO Go, Watch ESPN, YouTube, Hulu Plus, Pandora and others. Undoubtedly Fire TV Stick is one of the most powerful streaming media devices with the remote box for only $30 and mic to perform the voice commands, while all the other similar devices have stuck on the smartphone control stage.
Fire TV Stick will ship on the 19th of November and now is available for preorder for only $39. Prime subscribers can get this Stick for $19 right now. But if your interest is triggered mostly for games, then you should think about the PlayStation TV with a starter pack of 700 games coming out from the box plus wide range of PS4 games and a Wireless Controller DUALSHOCK 3, which of course will cost you more than the subject TV.
