The Galaxy S 4 is Here, are you excited?

The Next Galaxy is here guys, are you excited? i am, though a lot of people arent, a lot of people are comparing this to the jump (or lack thereof) from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 4S, but i cannot see why, below im going to Post what i think are the main specifications of the Galaxy S4 and below them i will post the main specs for the S III

Galaxy S4

-4.99" Full HD 1080p Super AMOLED display
-Samsung Exynos 5 Octa (5410)
Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 (Market dependant)
-13MP rear camera 1080p video recording
-2MP Front facing Camera 1080p video recording
-7.9mm thin
-130g
-IR Blaster
-2GB RAM
-2600mAh removable battery
-16/32/64GB internal storage, expandable Via MicroSD
up to a further 64GB

Galaxy S III
-4.8" 720p Super AMOLED display
-Samsung Exynos 4 Quad (4412)
Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual-core (Market dependant)
-8MP rear camera 1080P video recording
-1.9MP front facing Camera 720p video recording
-8.6mm Thin
-133g
-1GB RAM
-2100mAh removeable battery
-16/32GB internal storage (64 was supposed to come out but im not sure it ever did)
expandable via MicroSD for a further 64GB

Some of these Specifications are a marked improvement, i didnt list any of samsung value software add ons there because personally i think they are rather useless. But nevertheless if you just look at the raw specifications, Samsung changed almost every aspect of this phone in a shell not much larger (though considerably thinner) than its predesessor.

But i'll save the rest of that rant for a feature hopefully coming to you guys tomorrow. there is't much we know baout the phones availability apart from it'll be available on 327 Mobile Operators (they never said whichs ones,which is good because 327 would have taken a while) in 155 countries, they said the UK should get it late April (April 26th is the lucky date i've heard) so there you go guys, sound of in the comments below, do you like the S4 , do you think it was much of an improvement on the S III? do you think Samsung Copped out? do you think this phone is the next ruler of the world and we should all go cowering in our basements now with hoods so the creepy eye tracking feaures cant work on you? i want to know, and as always guys, keep it civil.

Should People consider a mid-range phone for their next upgrade?

2013 has been a bit of an odd year,for Smartphones that is, Every year we are basically conditioned to believe that we want the biggest and best phones that are available at that time, but that's actually changing,This year we have seen OEM's create "mini" versions of their phones, and for once, They.Don't.Suck This, is the Galaxy S4 Mini, From Samsung, it doesn't have the most mind-blowing specs , its a dual-core Snapdragon 400 (Krait 300) , it's got an 8MP camera from the Galaxy S III, it's pretty thin and pretty light, it's got a 4.3" qHD (960x540) Super AMOLED screen, also the Design of the Galaxy S4 and some other stuff. And guess what, it's doesn't lag,and the Minor bits of lag that are there are Touchwiz based,which are being remedied as we speak, same as the Larger Galaxy S4, which ad software glitches which caused it to lag, they are being ironed out as we speak. And yes, the Screen might not be HD, but it kinda does...

Why I'm not a fan of the OnePlus 2

Photo credit from GSMArena To those that Follow me on twitter it's no surprise to you that I was very underwhelmed with the OnePlus 2, but it's hard to explain why in 140 Characters, so here I'm going to expand a bit more on the things I’m not a fan of and why. First up is the USB-C Port. Now as we already know, USB-C the Port isn’t the same as USB-C W/USB3.1, the Damn USB-C, it's there,but not quite there. latter is the all singing all dancing version of USB-C, nothing has this yet (the closest we have so far is the new MacBook and Chromebook Pixel, that use most of this, except at USB3 speeds, or what has retroactively been called, USB3.1 Gen1). The OnePlus 2 though, like the Nokia N1 before it, isn't doing any of this, it hasn't got support for up to 100w, it doesn’t transfer data at the blisteringly fast 10gbps (USB 3.1 Gen2) or 5gbps (USB3.0/3.1 Gen1), no the USB-C port on the OnePlus 2 is USB2 based, that’s right 480mbps, same as microUSB in ph...

Sony Smartwatch 2 SW2 Review

Launched in the tail end of 2013, the Sony Smartwatch 2 (SW2) is not Sony's most recent wearable, but it's the last in Sony's line of Smartwatches running their own OS. The SW2 is a relatively pretty Smartwatch with a fair few bugs that keeps it from being great. Scratchy scratch number one Utilising an aluminium frame, a "scratch resistant" glass and a metal strap the SW2 has all the pieces of the puzzle on paper to make it a gorgeous piece of hardware, unfortunately Sony got to the last hurdle and stumbled, they used capacitive navigation buttons which mimic Android's old style ones, before Android 4.0 ICS, the power button on the side was as mushy as all heck and lastly, the scratch proof glass isn't all that scratch proof. The Aluminium frame is anodised black, and chamferred on the top edges, and just like every device that has ever been chamferred and polished, it scratches and dings so quickly I've forgotten what mine looks like witho...
