Report: successor to the Nexus 7 is called Nexus 8

Google is currently working on the finishing touches for a new Nexus tablet, which is to come up with 8 inch large display. At least, reports Digitimes , citing information from Asian suppliers circles.

The manufacturer of the device is to be the Taiwanese company Asus, which had also been entrusted with the production of the 2012er and 2013er edition of the Nexus 7 again.

Google had presented in summer 2012 along with the first Asus Nexus 7 and replaced with the compact, powerful 7-inch tablet at a competitive price a real boom of such devices. In the summer of 2013 followed by the presentation of a successor, which bears the name Nexus 7 again, but has a much better display than the first version, and is thus also sold slightly more expensive.

Today, the manufacturer shall, on its official blog released a new teaser image for the event. In addition to the already well-known letters "Unpacked 5" are on nine symbols to see - Speed, Outdoor, Curiosity, Fun, Social, Style, Privacy, Fitness and Life - which apparently both some of the features and a completely overhauled user interface design of the Galaxy are intended to indicate S5.
Countless reports about the features of the upcoming flagship smartphone from Samsung are circulating now for several weeks. Besides a large, especially high-resolution display to Samsung's Galaxy S series boasts this year with a completely new look. That should externally begin with the industrial design of the device and is expected to continue until the appearance of the modified Android user interface.

The nine symbols on it will probably indicate the visual design aspects of the revised user interface (UI).Accordingly, the South Koreans would follow the latest design trends, retreat from some brightly colored candy look of the TouchWiz interface, and instead focus on a rather flat look with muted colors and clean lines.

Apart from the mentioned symbols can be found in the blog entry no further information.However, the manufacturer has once again quite explicitly indicate how many times the number "5" is shown on the teaser image. That alone could already be considered almost as a confirmation of the speculation.

Rumor: iWatch team grows to 200 engineers

Rumors around the iWatch there were in recent weeks in heaps . It is still not clear in which direction the unit will develop for the hand steered. For us it is clear that Apple is a gadget for the hand steered developed is questionable, however, how Apple will implement this.

In recent weeks, Apple has many experts in medicine and public health can win for themselves, therefore, it seems likely that Apple will focus on this segment. A recently been submerged report goes well in this direction.

While it was in the summer of last year that the iWatch team consists of 100 engineers , it says now that the team has grown to 200 members. It is further stated by an insider, the However, although limited "direct" info promises that the iWatch unfolds its full functionality in conjunction with the iPhone. Apple aims to develop a "simple" way to monitor the vital signs of the user. The monitoring of the sugar content in the blood is not part of it.

It is further stated that the iWatch not belong under the regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Adinistration, even if Apple only recently reached with the FDA . It appears certain that Apple iOS 8 and the so-called Health Book App for the monitoring of vital signs is responsible. How this is to run exactly, but remains questionable.

Even after the latest report seems clear that Apple is working on an iWatch. The question remains how Apple will implement this. We expect that Apple will take a completely new approach. Whatever that may mean ... The included photo shows an iWatch concept which has surfaced a few weeks ago. ( via )

In the last hours has been circulating a photograph showing the bottom of a box containing the Galaxy S5 . When analyzed carefully, this seems to show the features of the new device by Samsung but they are very different from those that circulated in the latter period.

The style and the icons on the box seem to be very similar to those we see in the case ofNotes 3 ​​, this could mean that the specifications have been manipulated. Some differences, however, exist: for example, no icon appears on the S Pen and the image appears on the RAM is not present on the box S4.

According to the specifications shown in the photo, the new Galaxy will have:

· QHD Super AMOLED display (1440 * 2560 pixels)

What do you think? If the new Galaxy really had these features, Apple will have to immediately run for cover?

The display should have a diagonal of 5.2 to 5.25 inches. The resolution is supposed to 2560 x 1440 pixels, which would correspond to a pixel density of 560 ppi. The internal memory should be sized either 32, 64 or 128 GB, which would mean a significant increase in comparison with the Galaxy S4. The memory could also get a boost and be 3 GB.

The camera shall be equipped in the opinion of KDB with 16 megapixels. Otherwise, even LTE Advanced and a 3200 mAh battery is to be used. As an operating system, Samsung will probably still rely on Android 4.4 KitKat, though here probably the changes in the TouchWiz interface will play a role. Launch is expected between the first and second quarter.

Apple iPhone 6

In addition to the Samsung Galaxy S5, the market observers expressed and given that Apple this year shall bring two size variants, as well as the iPhone 6. A model with a 4.7 or 4.8 inch (1920 x 1080 pixels) and the other appear with a 5.5 inch (2272 x 1280 pixels) IGZO displays. But not only the display is to get a jump, but also the memory.Apple will introduce an additional amount of memory in the amount of 128 GB in the iPhone 6 and increase the RAM to 2 GB. As a processor of course comes the new A8 SoC used. The camera will continue to focus on 8 megapixels.

A discrepancy, however, is present in the report. According to KDB Apple will release the iPhone 6 with only iOS 7.2, what I see as highly unlikely classified it. Apple has been a major version brought out every year and will also go this route this year. The launch will take way located between the second and third quarters.

Leaked Technical Specifications: Samsung Galaxy S5

The Samsung Galaxy S5 could already during the Mobile World Congress 2014 on 24Will be presented February 2014, due to the well-known insider Eldar Murtazin has leaked on his Twitter account the possible technical specifications of the Galaxy S5. Of course, can not be said with certainty that the specifications will be ultimately look like, Murtazin has already published some useful information in the past.

Galaxy S5: 5.24-inch display with 1440p resolution

According to Murtazin, the Samsung Galaxy S5 will come up with the following specifications: 5.24-inch AMOLED display, 2560 × 1440 pixels resolution, 560 ppi, 3 GB RAM, 32 or 64GB of internal memory, Samsung Exynos 6 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, 16-megapixel sensor on the back, 3.2-megapixel front camera and a 3,200 mAh battery.

For pre-installed operating system were not disclosed, is expected to put the Galaxy Samsung S5 but on the new Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Overall, the data seem quite realistic and high quality, so that the Samsung Galaxy S5 would called high end definitely needs.

Price and release the Galaxy S5 is not yet known

As it stands in relation to the price or the release of the Samsung Galaxy S5, Murtazin could not tell, so the idea during the Mobile World Congress could not be confirmed. Also a bandied premium version of the Galaxy S5, which will bear the name Samsung Galaxy R, Murtazin did not provide data.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Active and Galaxy S5 zoom in planning

After Samsung has brought a whole row of top smartphones on the market, a more advanced version should not be missed often. In this case we speak of two successors of the Samsung Galaxy S5. Come to the Active S5 and S5 zoom.

According to the Electronic Times from Korea Samsung is already working on Galaxy S5 Active. If this model again recorded some of Shares for itself in the market. Planned are 20 to 30 percent of sales of the whole S5 series. That's what I call a very ambitious goal.Had the currently available version, only a proportion of up to 3 percent. The technical equipment should largely conform to the specifications of the Galaxy S5. A feature of the S5 Active but will in all likelihood be a water-and dust-proof housing.

Next is a Galaxy S5 Zoom planned. Much the zoom version of the technical resources, should not differ except that the camera, like with the Galaxy S4 Zoom, have some features like a 16 megapixel camera and 10x optical zoom. Rumors say that could come with the instrument at 520 U.S. dollars, the price.

How successful the two models will prevail, we shall see this year. My opinion, Samsung should rather concentrate on new equipment with a newer design, rather than always just a poor imitation, with some technical improvements to existing equipment to bring out.This is boring with time and frustrating. How quickly a manufacturer may fall in the favor of his fans, we have already seen in HTC and Apple currently.
