The Samsung Galaxy S4 comes with an impressive set of features baked into its new TouchWiz user interface, and one of those is a much-improved S Voice application. But you don’t need to wait until you’ve got the Galaxy S4 in your hand to check it out, because the app has been extracted from the handset’s firmware and is now available to download and install on your Android smartphone.
CyanogenMod founder Steve Kondik has announced that he has left his role as software engineer at Samsung after 19 months with the company. Kondik told his 36,000 followers on Google+ that “Samsung was great,” but that he has “just decided to do something new.” He also wrote a lengthy post praising the Galaxy S4 and its new features and specifications.
While Samsung may be keeping the Galaxy S IV a closely-guarded secret until its grand unveiling on March 14, that hasn’t stopped a number of screenshots that were supposedly taken on the device itself from being leaked. One of the images reveals the handset’s specifications, which include a 1080p display, and a 13-megapixel camera.
There’s no sign of Samsung’s eight-core Exynos 5 Octa processor, however.
BARCELONA, MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS — As I was walking around the show floor at MWC today, I noticed a number of smartphones that looked very familiar — yet they were being paraded by Chinese companies I’d never heard of. I saw what looked like a large iPhone 5, an entire range of Samsung Galaxy devices, and a number of high-end HTC handsets.
Except they weren’t really Apple, Samsung, or HTC devices at all; they were actually cheap clones that were trying their best to look like the real thing. They even had fake accessories that were identical to the originals.
BARCELONA, MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS -Mobile World Congress 2013 is now underway here in Barcelona, and there’s one device we couldn’t wait to get our hands on: the Galaxy Note 8.0 — Samsung’s answer to the iPad mini. In addition to its 8-inch display, the device boasts a 1.6GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, and of course, the Note’s trademark S Pen.
But can it give the iPad mini a run for its money?
