Samsung Galaxy S IV Unveiled!

Samsung recently revealed the Galaxy S IV at their 2013 "Unpacked" Event. Here are some of the details that were released to the general public:



Screen
The S IV will feature a 5 inch 441 PPI Super AMOLED screen. This is pretty much a compromise between the S III and the Note II screen. Bigger is indeed better in the cell phone world now and the S IV delivers in that department.

Along with the size of the screen, the phone will feature a new set of sensors that will enhance the user's experience. Infrared, humidity and temperature sensors just to name a few.

Battery and Processor
The phone will feature a 2600 MAH battery, which will give this device the power it needs to last a full day.....hopefully. There will be 2GB of ram, double to what the iPhone 5 has and a crazy 8 core processor!!! Needless to say Samsung is bringing out all their guns blazing on this one.

OS
The latest Android software will be released, Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Users and developers have already said this is the best and most user friendly update yet.

Samsung Built in Apps
Samsung has added a couple of their own apps to add to the out of the box ready use feel. Samsung Health is a fitness app that tracks things like steps, distance and calories using location services. S Translator is a built in language translator that works much like Google Translate. Samsung Air Wave uses hand motions and gestures without having to touch the screen, much like the S-Pen on the Galaxy Note II. This adds to the user's experience and leaves for many different ways to access apps and settings through shortcuts.

Camera
A lot of speculation has been tossed around with the S IV's camera. Most thought the camera would be just another 8MP camera, others rumoured that the camera would be 13MP!!! Well... they were right. The Galaxy S IV will feature a 13 MP rear facing camera and a 2MP front facing camera.

Below is a hands on look of the device from MobileSyrup.com

Thumbs Up, Phones Down

During this upcoming holiday season we are reminded to be careful on the roads, this starts with putting our 100% focus on what’s in front of us. TELUS and KELCOM have partnered with the WISE program to remind our customers and local communities of the danger of distracted driving. Did you know that drivers engaged in text messaging on a cellular phone are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash or near crash event compared with non-distracted drivers? There is one person injured in a distracted driving accident every 30 mins in Canada. These numbers are staggering and should be taken seriously. We’ve all done it; sending text messages, changing music, sending Snapchats while in the car. I know what you’re going to say, “I only do it at stop lights”. Well here’s some legal facts about distracted driving in Ontario that you might be surprised by: It doesn’t matter if you’re on a highway or stopped at a red light - distracted driving could cost you.

How To Tell If Your Smartphone Is Virus Infected

Image
I often have customers come in to the store with the fear that their smartphone has been compromised by malicious software. Although viruses are more common on desktop computers, they still can exist on our mobile devices including smartphones and tablets. How Do You Know If You Are Infected? One good way to tell if you are the victim of a mobile virus is an unusual increase in mobile data usage. If you are a moderate data user and one month you get a bill for massive overages, this could be potential virus behaviour. A mobile virus has the ability to rapidly drain your phone's battery, delete personal data or even take control of certain features of the device. Depending on which virus it is, it could potentially send unwanted text messages, make long distance phone calls or take unauthorized videos and pictures using your camera! How Do You Stop It? Best case scenario, do a factory wipe. There are plenty of applications that claim they will remove viruses, adware and ot...

iPhone 5c in Review

Image
I know it's been a while since the release of the iPhone 5c and 5s, but I finally had a chance to get one in my hands and try it out. I am 100% with you when people say "It's the same phone" and for the most part you are right. I decided to challenge myself to see what is the different between the iPhone 5c and its predecessor the iPhone 5. I won't go over the obvious similarities such as processors, screen size, etc, however I will go over the main differences that benefit myself and may benefit you as well. Materials One of the most controversial changes to the iPhone, the plastic backing. People joke that the iPhone 5c is a iPhone 5 with plastic melted on the back. I assure you, the shape of the back is different, more rounded and most importantly lighter. This isn't the same plastic that your rubbermaid containers are made of, this is polycarbonate plastic. This is the same material that is used in bulletproof glass and the cock pit of large pl...
