Video: Eric Schmidt's (Google's Executive Chairman) views on 2014

So what does Eric schmidt think about 2014? what would go big next year and what will get lost forever in 2014? During an interview with Bloomberg, Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google shared his outlook for 2014 trends. According to him, The biggest change that has come is the emergence of mobile devices.

“The trend has been that ‘mobile was winning,’ ” Schmidt said. “It’s now won.” He also added that smartphones and tablets are already outselling traditional PCs. Well he does seem to have same view as the late apple chairman Steve jobs. When asked about his biggest mistake, he did not hesitate to say that they could not anticipate the social networks and the fact that they would grow by this much. Well, had they known it earlier, we might have google+ from the start instead of an orkut or a Google Buzz.

Samsung Teases New Exynos - To be Showcased at CES 2014

Its that time of the year. Everyday is busy celebrating holidays and time with their families. New year is at the doorsteps and with the New Year,  CES is also right around the corner - just days after New Year’s Eve. The International CES is a global consumer electronics and consumer technology tradeshow that takes place every January in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tech companies and journalists will be flooding the halls in Las Vegas to attend the event. Samsung has already started teasing the people with its teasers.

The Latest in the an Teaser message posted by Official Samsung Exynos Twitter Account.A tweet sent out Friday, hints that something is coming for the Exynos line during CES 2014.

Samsung’s been using an #UnlockExynos hashtag in its tweets for the past fortnight. These have been tied to a contest the company’s running, and in explaining that offer it notes “the contest will run through the 2014 International CES conference in Las Vegas, where we will release information about how Exynos is ‘pioneering way-ahead mobilization.' So What could be coming from Samsung next year at CES?

Well , Our Guess is, it could be either of the two :

1. Exynos 64 Bit Chipsets:

 A few months ago, Apple announced the iPhone 5s with the world's first 64 bit mobile chipsets. It wasn’t too long after that that companies such as Samsung and even Qualcomm revealed that they were also working on 64-bit chipsets. There were rumours that this could be used with Samsung flagship of Next year Galaxy S5.

2. Exynos HMP Update

The Second possibility is  that Samsung will introduce a heterogeneous multi-processing update for existing Exynos 5 Octa chips .This update can possibly turn the Samsung Exynos 5 into a true octa-core chip with all 8 cores active at once, like the MediaTek MT6592. Currently, the big.LITTLE architecture on the Exynos 5 allows only one set of four cores to be active at a single time and it is not a true Octa Core processor.

Samsung Galaxy S5 rumored to be launched at MWC 2014

After Reports came that LG G3 might be launched at Mobile World Congres 2014 at Barcelona, Rumors are going around which suggest that Samsung's 2014 Flagship Samsung Galaxy S5 might be launched during MWC 2014 as well. Rumors and leaks regarding Samsung Galaxy S5 continue to emerge at a breathtaking and this latest one suggest that Galaxy S5 would be launched much earlier than expected by analysts and Consumers.

For a few days now, we are hearing rumours about Samsung's latest flagship S5. Some of the Rumours took center stage courtesy the Samsung like The Announcement of Exynos chips at CES , Las Vegas or bringing 4 GB Ram to mobile phones. Rumors also suggested that the Galaxy S5 could be coming with a handful of big time features including a large QHD display, 16MP camera, Android 4.4 KitKat, and a design that could be made out of metal, plastic, or both.The Galaxy S5 is almost certainly in testing, an earlier rumor suggested that AT&T itself is currently testing a possible variant, ahead of launch. Adding more fuel to this burning hot topic, is an latest news from inews 24, a Koran Daily. according to this report, Samsung Galalxy S5 could be launched at MWC. Also according to the report in the daily, this information was obtained by by an vice president of Samsung Electronics Design team. But as with other leaks, we will currently take with a grain of Salt now, but seeing how Galaxy S4 was launched in March 2013, Samsung might move the date a bit ahead to february. We will keep you updated about any rumours on any confirmed leaks, images.

Samsung starts mass production of Galaxy S5's display

Another News breaks out for Samsung Galaxy S5. This is one of the most awaited smart phones of 2014 and Samsung is expected to show us what the latest in mobile technology can be.

 According to report, the Device would feature a 5.25" display with QHD Resolution (2560X1440). The device hence is expected to be launched with an unbelievable 560 Pixels Per Inch (PPI)! The report also claims that Galaxy S5's display would have the same Diamond Pixel arrangement similar to what was seen on last year's flagship Galaxy S4 and Note 3. Just to remind you for Diamond Pixel arrangement- Green pixels are interleaved with alternating red and blue pixels, but with each red and blue pixel shaped like a diamond for increased sharpness and pixel density. 

The reports also says that the mass production of these dispalts has already started and the Galaxy S5 is expected to laucnched with these displays around feb/march 2014. Seeing how other rumors also point to a same type of device, we will have to put atleast some credibility to these one but as always, take these with a grain of salt.

LG G3 Leaks and Rumours - Everything that is known

LG was an outsider in the smartphone arena until recently when they made Nexus devices and their own flagship G2. With G2, LG finally had a phone that can hold its own against the flagship devices from the likes of samsung , sony, HTC or Apple. But the sales of G2 were nothing in comparison with Samsung galaxy S4 or Iphone 5S. So What will LG bring out next year to trump these? I, for one was impressed by LG G2 and would love to see G2 as LG seems to be heading in the right path with this.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Metal Frame Leaked

Finally we have some leaked images of New Samsung Galaxy S5. A new set of images allegedly showing a structural component of Galaxy S5, has been spotted online.

Samsung Galaxy S5 (Metal)  - Leaked Images

The French News site, Nowhereelse has posted a bunch of images of the alleged Galaxy S5's metal frame. This does point us to the fact that Samsung Galaxy S5 would indeed be launched in a metal frame. The dimensions of the phone according to the leaked source has been mentioned as 149mm X 72.27mm. Also, from the frame, it is evident that the display of Galaxy S5 would definitely be bigger than that of Galaxy S4.

The News site also speculates that Samsung might launch the rumoured Galaxy S5 by February next year which is in-line with our earlier reports which predicted a MWC 2014 launch of Galaxy S5. The leaked images of the metal frame reveals that Samsung is finally answering all the critics who said plastic was well plastic. This can help company to make more people switch from Apple Eco-system to android and mark another successful device in its Galaxy S line

The physical button ports on the leaked metal frame (volume and power) are placed similar to the ones found on the other Galaxy smartphones, so there are no major surprises there. The placement of Camera Module is however different and it seems to be seem whether this will be similar to one on Galaxy S4 ( with bunmped up megapixel count though) or a completely new design! 

We would advise you, however to take this all with a grain of salt now, but leaked images often turn out to be very similar to actual devices. Also,  in many cases , these are just clever photoshops or one of the many prototypes that company might be testing which can be drastically different than the actual device.

Nexus Q Gets Android 4.4 Kitkat

So do you remember nexus Q? It is an orb-like media streaming device, which sort of makes it the predecessor of the Chromecast. Google unveiled Nexus Q  last year at the Google I/O, and recently Google removed it from play store. Inspite of the product failing to take off, many users still have Nexus Q and they were stuck with ICS. However, now it seems like the old Nexus Q can be given a fresh lease of life.

So What's new? Another Nokia ?Device leaked before its actual release. The latest Nokia lumia phone to have been leaked before its actual announce date or any other official announcement is Nokia Lumia 929. Read More to find out.

Samsung Galaxy S5 to be launched in Metal

So, it is finally becoming true. There has been constant rumors going around which suggests Samsung using "Premium Materials" for their flagship phones. Now as we are nearing the launch of Samsung Galaxy S5 Mobile, rumours are surfacing that the Galaxy S5 will be launched in atleast one premium metal version. There are multiple rumours going around which suggests that one the flagship might be launched in all metal casing.

Samsung Galaxy Line - Galaxy S5 Concept by Tobias Hornof 

A lot of the these rumors and leaks appear to be focussing on the chassis of the Samsung Galaxy S5,with them claiming that with Samsung Galaxy S5, company will finally move away from Polycarbonate/plastic based body to a Metal based body. A samsung official said that the company is currently taking a look at metal and other premium build materials for its flagship phone. An important factor in this decision making is that  how quickly and efficiently Samsung manufacture the product. Even though Rivals such as HTC have beautifully designed flagship phones, but Samsung is able to move the maximum phones of the shelves and the easily available plastic based material had an important role. Since the Galaxy S flagships are getting more popular each year, the Samsung Galaxy S5 demand is expected to outmatch the one of its predecessor, so its is expected that Samsung will not completely move to a Metal based design, instead we are more likely to see two versions of Galaxy S5 mobile- one with full aluminium body and other will standard Poly-carbonate design.

Anyways, there is still lot of time before these hit the market, so we can take this with a Grain of salt now, but yes the old saying does hold true - " there cannot be smoke without fire" . Keep reading this section for more updates.

Samsung Galaxy S5 (rumored) supposedly leaks in GFX benchmark

Samsung Galaxy S5 is next iteration of  the company's Flagship Galaxy S line of smartphones. The device is expected to be launched in March 2014 but leaks have started to surface for Galaxy S5. Previously, We had seen Galaxy S5's specifications leaked on Antutu benchmark.  The device mentioned in the benchmark is SM-G900F, rumored to be next Galaxy S5. The device has 1080p display which surprised many as S5 is expected to be launched with QHD resolution.

After Antutu, A device rumored to be upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 has now leaked for GFX benchmark. This time the device is Samsung SM-G900S, a yet unknown devices with a 2K (2560 x 1440 pixels). It is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.5 GHz witfh a Adreno 330 GPU, which is most likely to be MSM8974AC chip, even though it is mentioned as MSM8974 in the benchmarks.

 So, what is happening here? We have two devices on two benchmarks both rumored to Samsung Galaxy S5. Well, this adds fuel to the rumour that there might be two variants of Galaxy S5 - SM-900F with 1080p display is the cheaper version of the Galaxy S5 while the SM-G900S could be the premium model. All these are rumours and supposed to be taken up with a grain of salt, but we can see that a lot of leaks have started to emerge of Samsung Galaxy S5 which means device could be launched in next 2-3 months (fingers crossed!)

Some would call this different, some creative and some even disturbing or creepy. Well for once I do thinks its a good concept and a bit creepy ( I like creepy )

Samsung Galaxy S 5 Specs leaked by Antutu Benchmark

Another Leak for Samsung Galaxy s5. This time it is leaked via Antutu benchmark. The latest leak however, is slightly different as it suggests two major changes - An Full HD screen instead of previously rumored 2k Screen and an Snapdragon 800 processor under the hood.





One of the expected Galaxy S5 variants, the SM-G900F, has once again shown up in a benchmark, this time on AnTuTu’s benchmark database. We have seen previously the benchmarks a few months before release gives us a good idea about the specs of the smart phones. However, looking at the benchmarks, it’s entirely possible we’re looking at an early prototype and final hardware isn't ready just yet .Samsung SM-G900F is widely believed to be the official product name of the international Samsung Galaxy S5 variant, the latest leaks have hinted that the Samsung Galaxy S4 could retain its 1080p Full HD display and this has given rise to the possibility that this is just an early prototype of Samsung Galaxy S5 and not the finished product.



Also, the previous rumours has suggested that S5 will be launching with Exynos chip which would either be HMP or 64 Bit. However, the benchmark suggests that S5 will be launched with a a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor.

Aside from the lack of a 2K display and new Snapdragon CPU, the latest Samsung Galaxy S5 specs leak is a pretty familiar affair, backing up recent claims of another high-end Android powerhouse.

With Google’s latest Android 4.4 KitKat OS tipped to run the show, the leaked benchmark has claimed the Samsung Galaxy S5 will play host to 3GB of RAM, an Adreno 330 GPU and a 16-megapixel rear-mounted camera. However, we expect to take all this with a grain of salt as benchmark even if true points to an old prototype of Samsung Galaxy S5

While a 2-megapixel secondary snapper is tipped to sit up front, the Samsung Galaxy S5 specs sheet will reportedly be rounded off by 32GB of internal storage. And yes, as usual this will have external memory card storage option as well.

Samsung's 2014 Flagship phones to come with WQHD Screen

I am always wondering what's Next for mobile displays.  I mean can they improve on what we have on Galaxy S4, HTC One or LG G2. With the spec war heating, especially in the android arena, What more cna companies bring to their displays. Seems like days of 1080p are over. Samsung is all set to launch its flagship devices next year (Galaxy S5 or Galaxy Note4 ? ). Samsung will be launching flagship devices in 2014 with AMOLED displays that have a pixel density of 560ppi and a resolution of 2560 x 1440 (2K or WQHD) – which means your standard 5-inch+ smartphone displays will be even sharper than they are now. Would be able to see nay difference? I am not sure but I do think the difference would be easily visible while reading books, browsing web pages. If you think that is overkill, the 2015 phones will have 4K displays!

Google Glass - Tech Specs Revealed

Google announced its Google Glass Explorer Editions were beginning to ship in waves to their respective buyers, but what exactly will $1,500 get these selected pioneers? Keep Reading to find out

The Google Glass Explorer Editions will have a 5MP camera capable of taking video up to 720p, has 16GB of internal storage (12 GB of "usable memory" that syncs with Google cloud storage), feature 802.11b/g and a display that will be equivalent to a 25-inch HD screen if you’re standing 8 feet away from the TV. Most importantly is its battery, which Google says will last the user a full day with typical use, although Hangouts and video recording may quicken its battery drain.

An all-day battery is probably one of the most important things for the Google Glass, which is probably why the device only uses 802.11b/g as supporting 802.11n may eat at its battery too much. For the device just being a pair of glasses with a small computer attached to it, these specs are pretty impressive, especially its 16GB of internal storage.

The Internet-connected glasses allow wearers to check messages, take photos or video and surf the Web by using a variety of voice commands. Google has yet to announce when Glass will be available to the general public. 

Google is keeping a lid on what developers can do. For now, Google's developer terms of service mean no advertisements in Glass clients, no data can be used for ads or data and you can't collect payments. Google Glass apps must use official Google distribution channels. The moves are the opposite of the Wild West ways of Android. On the surface, this makes sense. Why? Glasses are more personal from a device perspective. Google doesn't want any horror stories with Glass.
