Samsung Galaxy S5

[Family Lives Matter]

The long wait for Samsung fans is finally over: Samsung has finally taken the wraps off its Galaxy S5. There weren’t too many surprises as far as specs for the phone go — the Galaxy S5 features a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a 2.5GHz quad-core processor, a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, 3GB of RAM, a 2,800 mAh battery and Android 4.4 KitKat. From a design perspective, Samsung has largely kept the same winning formula it found with both the Galaxy S III and the Galaxy S4: The new device still has a home button but has otherwise been designed to maximize screen real estate to show off Samsung’s gorgeous display technology.

As expected, the new device is water-resistant and features a fingerprint scannersimilar to the one Apple uses in its iPhone 5s. Samsung has also confirmed that the device will come in four different colors: “charcoal Black, shimmery White, electric Blue and copper Gold.” Another key feature of the Galaxy S5 is S Health 3.0, Samsung’s newest fitness-related software that it says “provides a comprehensive personal fitness tracker to help users monitor and manage their behavior, along with additional tools including a pedometer, diet and exercise records, and a new, built-in heart rate monitor.”

The Galaxy S5 will be available worldwide on April 11th. Pricing for the device has not yet been announced. Samsung’s full press release follows below.

Looks like Sony debuted the best phone & tablet at MWC:

Sony's Xperia Z2 introduces a brilliant new display to the company's flagship phone

Launching in March with a bigger battery and screen, more RAM, and new 4K video recording

By Vlad Savovon February 24, 2014 02:45 am

Sony hasn't seen fit to alter the design or size of its flagship Android phone for 2014, with the newly announced Xperia Z2 occupying the same footprint as last year's Z1, and has instead focused on making notable upgrades on the inside. First and foremost, the company has moved to a new IPS display with what it calls Live Color LEDs, a technology unique to Sony that's claimed to give its mobile devices the widest color gamut on the market — bettering even Apple's excellent iPhone and iPad displays.

When viewed in person, the Z2 does indeed have a very attractive display, with good contrast and color fidelity, immediately distinguishing it from the mediocre screen of the Z1. At 5.2 inches, the Xperia Z2 also gives you slightly more real estate, though the resolution remains unchanged at 1920 x 1080. The battery, RAM, and processor have all been upgraded as well: the new flagship comes with 3200mAh of power, 3GB of memory, and a quad-core 2.3GHz Snapdragon 801. Aside from a new set of stereo speakers, the external look of the Xperia Z2 is pretty much unchanged, including an all-glass front and back, IP58-certified waterproofing, and a dedicated camera key.



In keeping with the current trend for 4K video recording in smartphones, the Xperia Z2 joins the fray with a new SteadyShot feature borrowed from the company's Handycam line. It's software-based image stabilization that promises to reduce the jitter and imperfections that result from unsteady handheld video. Sony's demonstrations show it's effective at its task, though the end result can sometimes appear unnatural — mechanical image stabilization of the sort you'll find in the Lumia 1020 or LG's G2 is always preferable. Sony's also adding a Timeshift video feature that lets you shoot 720p video at 120fps and then slow it down for a very attractive slow-motion effect.

The Xperia Z2 will be available globally from March with Android 4.4 on board, in the familiar choice of black, white, or purple.

I'm believing the waterproof hype and hoping for a better feeling body. Haven't heard anything about aluminum unibody, but that would be perfect. Could care less about a fingerprint scanner.
