Apple is gearing up to unveil iPhone 6 and iWatch in the month of September. The company promised that this iPhone will be completely different from all the previous one. Rumors and leaked images related to iPhone 6 are verifying this news, therefore people are eagerly waiting for it.

On the other hand, Samsung is all set to release a new smart phone Galaxy Note 4 in October 2014.  Samsung started this Android based  high-end smart phone Galaxy Note series three years back in IFA Berlin. The analysts criticized it since it  was an extremely large phone of that time with a 5.3 inch display screen. . Subsequently, every year Samsung added a new smartphone in the line of Galaxy Note.

 

However, people who are planning to purchase a new phone are quite perplexed whether to buy iPhone 6 or Samsung Galaxy Note 4. As per the rumors, the two smart phones are set to release this fall and both would be the successors of earlier phones.

Recently, Samsung has confirmed the rumors and officially  declared the month of its arrival. The Galaxy Note 4 will come  with various high powered specification such as a 5.7 inch Quad HD display, speedy quad core processor, 16Mp camera and much more. People begin to compare Galaxy Note 4 and iPhone 6 soon after Samsung has verified its features.

Nevertheless,  analysts have named iPhone 6 as “Rumor iPhone” because Apple has not yet disclosed specification of iPhone 6.

Display size:

There is a stream of rumors associated with iPhone 6 and some of them stated that Apple will launch it with two new sizes a 4.7 inch model and a 5.5 inch model. Earlier the rumors were that only one of the two models will occur with a sapphire screen due to the cost of sapphire glass.  However, the latest assumptions are that both models will support sapphire screen. Apple also utilized sapphire in the iPhone 5s in order to cover the home botton and rear facing camera.

In contrast Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes in only one size. The device  is equipped with a AMOLED 5.7 inch display  with a quad HD resolution of 2,560 by 1,440.

Software:

Samsung is planning to offer Android 4.4.4 Kitkat OS with Samsung’s TouchWiz Ul. The phone will provide a multi-window option, for instance, if you  want to check calenders while watching a video you can open two windows side by side. However, the company has improved the S Pen experience both in Hardware and software. It has doubled the pen pressure sensitivity, which will permit the pen to detect when you are drawing and writing an angle. Whereas, Apple usually provides  software which can live to a long time period of three years. Apple hardware will come with iOS 8 which relatively better than the usual Android software.

Carriers:

Samsung has restricted Galaxy Note 4 to chief five carriers of the Unite States. These five carriers are AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Verizon.  Undoubtedly, these carriers are not enough for a flagship smart phone. Generally, smartphone comes with a large number of pre-paid and regional carriers.

Rumors are that Apple iPhone will come with Sprint and several other U.S carriers such as C SpireWireless, Bluegrass Wireless. Though the news is still not confirmed, but people are expecting Apple to  launch iPhone 6 with numerous carriers.

Galaxy Note Edge Release Date & Carriers

September 6, 2014 By Kenneth Scott Leave a Comment

Samsung Galaxy Edge will soon join Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in the market. The company has confirmed a release date  for every country except the United State. People are eager to know something related to the upcoming device and the carriers it will offer.

Yesterday, Samsung revealed few new devices such as Galaxy Note 4, Gear VR virtual reality headset, Gear S smart phone. Samsung Galaxy Note Edge has a strange appearance, much different from  the Galaxy Note 4 and all the previous devices.

The device offers some features that are incredibly exclusive. Display of this phone is the most noteworthy thing because  the company breaks the trend of the typical flat screen through it. Samsung Galaxy Note Edge has a unique screen which wraps around the edges of the smartphone.

 

This curved screen will certainly appeal a lot of customers and will generate a large revenue. However, the device comes with some other notable features which are as follows. These features surely have the strength to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

  1. 5.6-inch 2560 x 1440 Quad-HD AMOLED Display
  2. 2.7 GHz Quad-core Snapdragon 805 with 3GB of RAM
  3. 32 or 64GB storage options, with micro-SD support
  4. Android 4.4.4 KitKat with Samsung TouchWiz
  5. 16 Megapixel Rear camera with Optical Image Stabilization
  6. 3.7 front camera for wide-angle selfies, and panoramic front photos
  7. 3,000 mAh battery
  8. Curved display on right side for notifications and more
  9. 151.3 x 82.4 x 8.3mm, 174 grams

Naturally, people are also interested in Samsung’s brand new Galaxy Note Edge just like they are curious about the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.  The chief issue is that  the release date of Galaxy Edge is not verified yet. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is expected to launch till the end of October but the people are still unaware when Samsung Galaxy Note Edge will touch the markets.

We wish to guess the release date of Samsung  Galaxy Note Edge through leaked information.

Release Date:

Samsung announced a rather ambiguous launch date of Samsung Galaxy Note Edge at the end of yesterday’s event. Instead of announcing any particular date the company  merely stated that Galaxy Note Edge will arrive sometime later this year.

There is not even a single rumor  regarding the specific date so it can be said that it may take a few days or months. The most significant thing related to this matter is that the Galaxy Note Edge has passed through the FCC.  It is certainly one of the final obstacles which the device has to pass through before it is launched. However, FCC filing came without any particular release date, but still this step demonstrates that Samsung is quite nearer to launch this device.

U.S Release Date of Galaxy Note Edge:

Nothing is a word which concludes everything associated with the release date of Samsung Galaxy Note Edge in the United State. The company and the carriers are not saying a single word on this matter and FCC filing is the only thing that can indicate something about it.

Undoubtedly, Samsung has a huge market in the United States.  At the time of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 the company declared a worldwide release date in October. People are expecting the same thing with the case of the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge that Samsung will launch it in world wide. This assumption is quite convincing, but still it is not verified.

AT&T Galaxy Note Edge:

The AT&T has confirmed that  the carrier has offered zilch. The company has organized a special sign up page which will allow users to get official information through email regarding this new product. However, the pricing, release date and  other important details are not mentioned on that page.

Sprint Galaxy Note Edge:

On the other hand, Sprint has also verified the news, but it has not formed  any special page for this device like it did for Samsung Galaxy Note 4. In short, we can say that nothing is evident about the Galaxy Note Edge date in the United States.

T-Mobile Galaxy Note Edge:

T-Mobile, an American entity of wireless network confirmed the news related to  Galaxy Note Edge in yesterday’s launch event. The company provides a splash page, just like AT&T where customers can go and get information through email. However, the company is offering something which can attract a lot of customers.

T-Mobile provides a pre-registration for the Galaxy Note Edge. The contest gives an opportunity to win various prizes and will remain open till the 11 of September. It is no doubt an inducement which no one else is offering.

U.S Cellular Galaxy Note Edge:

U.S Cellular is considered as the fifth largest carrier of the nation.  The carrier will release Galaxy Note 4 in the month of October but it is still unclear whether it will release Galaxy Note Edge or not. It has not officially declared anything related to Samsung Galaxy Note Edge.

Verizon Galaxy Note Edge:

The launch date of Verizon Galaxy Note Edge is in the pipeline since the company has announced that the device “will be coming soon”.  However, the company has not yet stated the name of any particular month.

Verizon is also offering a sign up and says that the people who do sign up will be the first to  get pre order,  product and launch details.

September 6, 2014 By Michael Turner Leave a Comment

A recent report stated that Apple will reveal a smartwatch with iPhone 6 on the 9th of September. It is anticipated that the company will launch the iWatch at a massive media event.
This device offers HomeKit function as well on Apple’s new iOS 8 operating systems. Homekit function allows users to manage lights, and garage doors from anywhere in the house. The iWatch can also work with Apple’s Health app that save fitness and other health data of users for instance heart rate, blood pressure.

As per the rumors this iWatch will have a 2.5 inch arched rectangular display screen which will be provided by LG.  On the other hand, Apple is expected to launch iPhone 6 with a screen of 5.5 inches.

iPhone6 is the ninth model in the series of iPhones. The company is planning to launch it in two different screen one of 4.7 inches and other of 5.5 inches. The company will first release 4.7 inch iPhone screen and shortly after that 5.5 inches.

The two screens will come with in-cell technology, which the company previously presented in iPhone 5. Apple is offering three colors in iPhone 6 that are silver, gold and space gray.

iPhone 6 Pre-Orders Soon To Be Announced

September 6, 2014 By Deborah Campbell Leave a Comment

Next Tuesday, Apple will launch few more products at DeAnza College in Cupertino. The company has not officially declared anything related to the release of these products. However, the rumors are that Apple will unveil new iPhone along with a brand new iWatch.  People are curious to know the major details of iPhone 6 such as specs of iPhone 6, release date and pre-orders.

The previous year, Apple did not offer pre-orders for iPhone 5s which is undoubtedly a trick to win more attention of the customers.  Apple’s clients of the United States will certainly have to wait for pre-orders till the 9th of September. Whereas, some of the Chinese carriers have already announced iPhone 6 pre-orders even before its release date.

China Mobile, a Chinese state owned telecommunication company nearly took 30,000 pre-orders of iPhone 6. As per the rumors, the carrier is giving option to its customers for both 4.7-inch model and 5.5-inch model with the conventional storage sizes.  Usually, iPhone is launched with storage of 16 GB, 32 GB and 64GB. However, people are still unaware of what will be the exact storage of iPhone 6.

China Telecom, one of the major rivals of China Mobile has also begun to take pre-order for iPhone 6. The company has launched a special splash page for this purpose which contains some images of iPhone 6 as well.
The splash page portrays a 4.7-inch iPhone, which will come along with a Touch ID, an A8 processor, a 2000 mAh battery and a 3 MP front facing camera. However, these features are still grounded on the rumors of iPhone 6. For example, iPhone 6 is rumored to have a 1,810 mAh battery instead of 2,000mAh battery.

The photos shown on the pre-order page are not the original pictures of iPhone 6.

According to the reports of TechChrunch, the name iPhone is not clear in the images displayed on the pre-order website. Though the reason behind this action is still vague, the carrier might have done it due to the pressure of the company. The name of the new iPhone is not yet officially declared; therefore the company’s naming pattern points to an iPhone 6 release.

These pre-order from carriers are merely visible in one country that is China. On the other hand, people don’t have the slightest idea about the pre-order in the United States. Most probably the reason behind this is that U.S carrier strictly follows Apple for everything. Predictions are that there would not be any pre-order for the people living in the United States till the 9th of September.

As per the assumptions, Apple’s executives will inform officially inform the customers about the specs of iPhone 6 on 9th of September. The expected features are improved design, new display, new processor, new camera, and iOS 8 and much more.  Rumors are that the iPhone 6 will arrive in markets in the mid of September or the beginning of October.

Apple is expected to launch iPhone 6 in two novel models, one with 4.7 inch screen and the other with 5.5 inch screen. The smaller one will probably touch the market till the end of September; however the date of the larger screen iPhone 6 is not even in the rumors. The company is planning to release both the models before the Christmas Holidays although there is no particular date.

Apple will unveil iPhone 6 along with two other devices which are iWatch and a new iPad Air 2. These rumors are certainly not verified by the company.

Reason behind the Success of PlayStation 4

September 5, 2014 By Deborah Campbell Leave a Comment

Play station 4 has sold almost 10 million units worldwide. If we compare it with the sales record of the previous play station, then PS4 broke all the records. The PS3 had sold half of the units as compared to PS4 whereas PS2 reached the mark of 10 million in about twelve months. Though PS2 was considered as the most popular console in the history of Sony.

This is the time period in which smart phones and tablets have taken all the market of console games. However, in this tough era PS4 has succeeded in winning the attention of the entire world.

 

The interesting part is that the reason behind this great success is still mysterious. Shuhei Yoshid, the head Sony Worldwide Studios said that the company is completely clueless and has no clarification for this great  success of PS4. Moreover, he expressed that it is truly beyond the expectation of the company.

No doubt this huge success of PS4 is making the organization restless since they desire to figure out the reason behind this huge success of PS4. The revelation of the cause would provide a great help in the formation of new strategies.

There are several possibilities of this success on which experts of Sony are yet working. One of them is the failure of Xbox One. People usually believe the release of Xbox One a terrible disaster for Microsoft. The chief reason behind the ineffective launch of Xbox One is the long list of requirements which came along with the game.

Motorola Mobility started advertising the Moto X by stating that the handset was completely assembled in the United States. The company even highlighted that the handset could be fully customized by choosing the preferred colors before placing the order.



Moto X received rave reviews from most of the tech sites. The device came with 4.7inch HD screen, Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 1GB RAM, 10MP camera and a good 2200mAh battery. Current line of smartphones come with full HD screens are mainly running on quad-core Snapdragon 800 or Snapdragon 801 processors.

New smartphones like the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note Edge, and LG G3 LTE-A are housed with powerful Snapdragon 805 processors. Still, the device is doing pretty well in the market as a budget range smartphone. However, now it is the perfect time to replace it with the newer model. Motorola Mobility has to offer the new Moto X+1 with powerful specs.

Today, Motorola will not only release the Moto X+1 smartphone but also another budget-friendly smartphone, the Moto G2 along with the Moto 360 smartwatch. However, the Moto X+1 specifications and features were almost revealed to the world through a leaked benchmark result. The leaked information matched with all the other previous Moto X+1 leaks.

 

Motorola Moto X+1 Release Date

The Moto X+1 is expected to globally release from September 10. Another report reveals the Verizon Moto X+1 will begin on Sept 25. No concrete detail on the Moto X+1 release date is known yet.

US Carriers and Moto X+1 Price

Moto X+1 will surely come on Verizon. Even other US carriers like AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, MetroPCS and Cricket are expected to offer Moto X+1. The customization features will be exclusively available on major US carriers. The Moto X+1 are expected with on-contract price of $299. Off-contract it is expected to carry a price tag of $399.’

Moto X+1 Features

Interesting thing about the successor model of Moto X is that its official name has not been revealed but the tech world is mostly referring it to as Moto X+1 or Moto X2. Here are the top 10 features that will arrive on the Moto X+1 or Moto X2:

Design

The Moto X+1 is expected to come out with aluminum frame. For the rear on Moto X+1, Motorola will be offering options like wood, plastic, leather and denim. Another report claims that the company may launch a carbon fiber variant exclusively for Verizon audience.

Full HD display

The 4.7inch display of the Moto X only supported 720p resolution. Rumors from multiple sources reveal that the Moto X+1 will feature a bigger 5.2inch screen with full HD resolution of 1080p. This will allow the Moto X+1 to become a good competitor to newer smartphones like Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2. Rumors also indicate the Motorola Mobility would pack a curved display screen which is also being referred to as 3D screen.

Snapdragon 800 processor

As we mentioned before, the older Moto X came with a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor working at 1.7GHz. The Moto X+1 is expected to feature a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor that will produce a processing speed of 2.5GH. Like the predecessor handset, the newer Moto X+1 will feature 2GB RAM.

Camera with Optical Zoom

When you think of optical zoom, you would certainly think of a digital camera but not a smartphone. However, rumors have it that the Moto X+1 will feature an optical zoom. As far as the megapixels are concerned, the rear camera of Moto X+1 is expected to be of 12MP whereas the one sitting at the front will be of 2MP.

Touchless Control

As the name suggests, this feature will allow users to use the Moto X+1 without touching the handset. Most probably it will be a voice control feature that will always stay on and listen to the user. Moto X came with voice commands feature. The same is expected to get an upgrade in the forthcoming Moto X+1

Moto Maker

The Moto Maker is the exclusive customization feature from Motorola Mobility that allows you to personalize the appeal of the smartphone before ordering it. Like it was for Moto X, we feel even the Moto X+1’s front and back covers could be customized with different colors.

 

Software

The Motorola Moto X came with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS but the device can be upgraded to Android v4.4.4 KitKat. The Moto X+1 will come out with the most recent available version of Android which is v4.4.4 KitKat. Rumors have it that Moto X+1 would be one of the first handsets to get the soon to arrive Android 5.0 LMP OS.

Storage

The Moto X came with inbuilt storage options like 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. It did not feature external microSD slot. Rumors are indicating that the Moto X+1 will feature 16GB and 32GB inbuilt storage options. Good thing is that it is expected to feature a microSD card slot. However, there is no information whether the Moto X+1 will feature a 64GB edition.

Battery

The Moto X featured a 2200mAh battery. With a full HD screen onboard along with a Snapdragon 800 processor onboard, the Moto X+1 is expected to feature a powerful battery. Rumors indicate the Moto X+1’s battery will be of 2,900mAh battery.

Other Features

Some of the other exciting features that are coming on the Moto X+1 include dual front facing speakers, plenty of customization options, Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G LTE connectivity, GPS, GLONASS, Bluetooth and more.
