The Galaxy s4

Since no one seems to be talking about phones anymore, I thought I should be the first to start the rumor mill about the galaxy s4. I like referring to it as the fourth generation Samsung galaxy device. It feels good, much like getting the first comment on a YouTube video that goes viral lol. The rumors are finally rolling in and seemingly in 2013, we might just see the phone that blows everyone away. The galaxy s4 will turn out to be Samsung’s best-selling phone and with the rumored specs, no other manufacturer will be able to compete. I know some iPhone lovers may want to disagree with me but all disdain aside, the galaxy s4 will generate the most debate online, much more than the iPhone 5S will be able to garner.

Samsung has managed to manufacture full HD super AMOLED screens at 4.99 inches which translates to a whopping 441 PPI (pixel s per inch). Comparing this to the retina display found on iPhones, it represents a more than 30% increase in pixel density. AMOLED which is an acronym for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode, according to me, is the most fulfilling display technology. LCD has been around for a while and is considered more advanced than AMOLED. If you are familiar with super AMOLED screens you know how cool this screens look, I mean the color saturation is out of this world, the contrast ratio is the best to say the least. The only drawback when it comes to AMOLED screens is the brightness level, some people go a step further to complain that the colors don’t look natural blah blah. No matter what they say, AMOLED screens look way better than any LCD screen out there. With the release of full HD AMOLED screens, it means that the only good thing about LCD screens is that they can be made a bit brighter.

With this leap in technology, many people including me, hope to see this screen size fitted in the galaxy S3 form factor. This is possible with a little engineering. The engineers at Samsung, of which I hope to join some time, I am sure will be able to achieve this feat. The galaxy s4 will definitely have a 13 mega pixel camera, a quad core processor(probably a new architecture), 2 gigs of ram(maybe even 3), a full HD super AMOLED display (which will be the selling point) and a ton of other features. I don’t know how Samsung will choose to price this more than capable smartphone, but it will definitely be the phone to have. With more pixels than any human eye can distinguish, 2013, is the year that Samsung will take over the smartphone industry. I also hope to see OLED television sets. If I am not wrong, Samsung already have a 55inch OLED display television set which hopefully will go on sale in 2013. The next thing, which is just a proposal to Samsung, please manufacture 13-14-15 inch AMOLED screens with Full HD resolution which you can use on your laptops. I know it may be expensive to do so, but I am sure this is the way to go. For now, lets wait and see hoe much of this comes to pass.

Why the Lumia 520 is still my primary device, even with a galaxy s4

Image
Disclaimer: This is not a Lumia 520 vs galaxy s4 debate, Its simply a list of reasons why I tend to use the Lumia more than the galaxy s4. Its by no way intended to act as a comparison of the capabilities of either device. It is simply intended to provide insight on the individual strengths and weaknesses of the different platforms in use. This is based purely on my opinion and I respect all other divergent viewpoints. Now that we have got that out of the way, lets dive into the article. Reason number 1. Battery life. The number one reason I can't leave the house without my Lumia 520 is its incredible battery life. The 520 has such amazing battery life that I sometimes go for 2 days without a recharge under normal, constant use. On the other hand, with the galaxy s4, I get about 6 hours of non stop use. To say the battery life on the s4 is bad is an understatement. Having shipped with android 4.3, I was was wrong to think that the 4.4.2 kit Kat update would solve my probl...

The Different Display Technologies in the world explained, CRT vs Plasma vs LCD vs OLED

Image
CRT I would like to start by stating here clearly that there are no LED tvs, yes, that 45 inch screen you bought with LED written all over it is actually an LCD screen. Currently, there are four main display technologies in use in the world, the famous CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), Plasma, LCD and OLED (Notice there’s no LED display technology. Do not confuse OLED and LED, the first is a true display technology in use while the latter is simply a back-lighting option in LCD screens) CRT is the oldest of the display technologies which uses a Cathode Ray to illuminate a fluorescent screen. Basically, a cathode ray (fast moving electrons) is made to move very fast both vertically and horizontally at the same time, hitting a screen that illuminates (when hit by electrons) at such a rate that it creates a moving picture. The “kisogo”(you would think the entire English language would have a definite name for the back of your head but No!) you see on your CRT screens is made of the cathode,...

ARM based processors VS X86 based processors

Image
I never thought a day would come when I would have to write this. Why then you may ask, am I doing it now. The main reason is that Intel is like a decade ahead of all other companies out there manufacturing chips. The other reason why I chose to write this article is due to the fact that we have a multitude of devices now running on ARM based processors with the RISC architecture compared to Intel’s high end processors which mainly use the CISC architecture. Lastly, rumors were flying around that Apple was considering using only ARM based processors on all their future devices, really? ARM based devices have slowly found their way into our lives. To name just a few; the A5 chips used on the I-phone 4S and the I pad, the QUALCOMM or snapdragon processor in the Samsung Galaxy series among others. A brief comparison between the ARM processors and the X86 counterparts is outlined below To get a better picture and a clear understanding of what I am talking about, it is good to give an exa...
