SAMSUNG galaxy s3 preview



Just hours have passed after the announcement of the new galaxy s3 by samsung at its launch event held in london
quashing many rumors its finally here, and upholding some of them  here are some of the neat features it packs under its sleeve
basics
OS Android OS, v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
Chipset Exynos 4212 Quad
CPU Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9
Memory Card slot microSD, up to 64 GB
Internal 16/32/64 GB storage, 1 GB RAM

Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, DLNA, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot
nfc and blue tooth 4.0
Display Type Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Size 720 x 1280 pixels, 4.8 inches (~306 ppi pixel density)
Multitouch Yes
Protection Corning Gorilla Glass 2
- TouchWiz UI v4.0
 WIRELESS CHARGING.
2100mah battery

Those were the basics, of corse it packs a lot more  the best feature that can be said is the wireless charging finally its here though it comes with an accessory it still is very exciting.
Pop up play feature, finally multi tasking in multiple windows .that is  A video plays in a small window while you browse the net.Group cast can broadcast pictures and videos as you take them in real time with a pre set group of people. just point and shoot a group of people and that photo gets shared with all the people in that pics to their Facebook or email, you name it.
it recognizes your face and predicts what you would want to do next though neat kind a scary is it a new era of smartphones where in the one thing that is highly personal to the people will be compromised 'the power of will' , spontaneity."
Galaxy S3 has Siri like voice recognition. Ask it for news, weather, search and all apps and it responds.
another firsts by samsung the s3 wil look at you with its front camera. It will only dim or shut off tje screen  only when it finds your eyes of/away from  the phone, or when u r  asleep.

who can forget the goodness of NFC....
 well the only let down would be the 8 megapixel camera since most of the if people if not many had hoped for a 12MP or more..

FOR THOSE WHO DIDNT GET TO SEE THE EVENT LIVE CAN SEE THE LINE OF EVENTS HERE

ICS UPDATE FOR SGS2 FINALLY HERE




ICS UPDATE for SGS2 finally here

The Korean giant has finally ready to release the ics update for samsung galaxy s2. its finally here guys. Thought it has not been specifically mentioned where its going to be launched first. but as we all know it will be the European continent which will taste the chilly ice of the icream sandwich.If Samsung decided to launch it world wide on the same day it will be like the first of its kind this would remind me of the first world wide release of the hollywood movie released on the same day according to the time zones (hint: matrix revolutions)

so what will be the tantalizing features of the ics
here's a small gist

face unlock


the technology never stops surprising me.
how much more personel can u make your droidz will this is as close as it gets. we were amazed to see the pattern lock well face unlock takes it a notch higher.

the interface looks nice.
most of us on gingerbread would have already got the taste of this through the theme and wall papers etc but trust me guys its gono be way cooler

MULTI TASKING



multi tasking has been changed , MADE MORE EASIER AND VERSATILE.
CHK IT OUT


CAMERA OPTIONS REJUVANIZED
