The Second Generation Of Motorola Moto G Slips Out

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.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will ship in the end of the month with a new S Pen

This week Samsung has proclaimed about new reincarnation of the most popular smartphone from the Galaxy Note series - Galaxy Note 4. Brand new device takes on board the new upgraded S Pen, which has become even lighter than before.

You could easily get the S Pen from the device's tunnel-groove to use it, but the Samsung engineers have decided that the way it used to be is still not perfect. And to be frankly, they are right, as the process of removal and placing it back is too complicated comparing to a simple notebook and pen usage, therefore this sophisticated process was improved had to be improved first of all.

Other smartphone specs were not changed. There is still a Samsung Exynos 5433 processor, Adreno 420 GPU, 3GB of RAM and 32/64GB of internal memory. There are two cameras: one are 16-megapixel and 3.7-megapixel, which can be used as a Selfie sensor together with IP67 waterproof casing resistance status. All kinds of wireless connectivity, which you may need are also supported in this device.

The new Galaxy Note 4 is equipped with S Pen stylus from Samsung making it much more easier to make the notes and drawings on the 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display.

New development from Samsung is already released in South Korea and China and is expected it will set sail to West Coast in the end of this month. Estimated date of arrival is 17th of October 2014.

Amazon launches Fire TV Stick device for video streaming at your home

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.

HTC teases the competitors with their latest 64-bit smartphone Desire 820

Now HTC is again trying to get to technological Olympus by improving the devices of the present. A high probability to stay on top has a new Desire flagship smartphone, which was built using a 64-bit architecture.

HTC promotes the new Desire 820 as the world’s first Android smartphone with a 64-bit mobile processor on board. Unsurprisingly that HTC is betting on 1.5GHz octa-core processor Snapdragon 615 from Qualcomm since it provides overall reduction in energy consumption and acceptable thermal condition. Although this is an advanced computing engine with unimaginable productivity, so you don’t have to worry about the battery life and burns on your palms.

It is worth remembering that this device is not an ordinary representative of its class, and the potential is close to a portable multimedia center packed together with full-fledged game console for your favorite and upcoming games too. Outfitted in a total of eight independent cores it provides efficient multitasking at a steadily increasing demands of multimedia applications.

The new HTC Desire 820 will come with 5.5-inch display with a resolution of  720x1280 pixels, Android 4.4.4 KitKat and HTC Sense, that is naturally for this manufacturer, but there is no mentioning about Android 5.0 that we would like to see on board the new Desire, considering Nexus 6 already has. It will also come with an 8-megapixel front facing camera, a 13-megapixel sensor on the cap and a 2600mAh battery on board.

HTC Desire 820 holds a 4G LTE Cat. 4 connectivity, as well as a Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi 802.11a/g/b/n. The 64-bit pioneer will reveal itself at the end of this month with the price tag of $449 in Marble White, Tuxedo Grey, Santorini White, and Milky-way Grey boby colours.

Nexus 9 shows its shape attracting all tablet lovers

It seems that the new rumors have pierced through the internet and a new tablet called Nexus 9 is slightly revealed to us. Who could actually be the real maker of this device you ask? Well, Google could give it to anyone, for example, to Asus or Motorola, but the choice is actually done in favor of HTC, the one which already failed with the Flyer – a 7-inch tablet at $500 cost in 2013.

A new Nexus – a name that was already used plenty of times – is created under the code name of  “Flounder”… and it actually coincides with a well-known to us Nexus X with a code name “Shamu” - the killer whale from the history of entertainment. So we guess Flounder and Shamu could be good friends.

So the display of Nexus 9 should be 9-inch IPS LCD at a 1920x1200 pixel resolution. Processor is meant to be NVIDIA Tegra K1 Denver (64-bit), just like the NVIDIA Shield Tablet. Free given storage is ought to be 32 GB with microSD card adjustable space. A rear camera with 8 megapixel will be accompanied with 1.6 megapixel front one.

A date that has been announced cannot be said strictly, therefore we can expect it in October in order not to tell you false dates at all. The price is expected to be around $400, which is quite fascinating for such a device. If any more news arrives on board, we will surely tell them to our visitors.
