Samsung Galaxy Alpha out in open


Samsung just released the addition to the famous Galaxy family: Galaxy Alpha. Finally after being rumoured and hyped a lot, the South Korean biggy lets it out in the ground. Though the sales beginning in September '14, Sammy announced it while great before not to steal anything from their next Flagship, The Note 4. Not impressed with the Galaxy S5, this device holds a lot of importance and is heavily under the critics' eyes and pronounced as the competition to the rival's iPhone6. But the most amazing modification to this piece is that the 'plastic follower' Samsung has added a bit of the metal to this smartphone which makes the 'plastic' critics quiet.

Rather than building it heavily metalled like the HTC One M8 and likes, Samsung chose to use rubberized plastic-not attractive as a metal look but a lot more practical also allowing a comfortable grip and added a removable back cover. We have a rubberised back and a sufficiently slim body giving it an elegant and an excellent look.

Looking into the spec profile up to now, we have no water resistance at first place. In addition, there is no microSD slot (ironical to Samsung) ranging the internal memory to 32 gigs with 25 usable and overloading it with the famous heavy Touchwiz, not forgetting the 2GB of RAM. The Galaxy Alpha is the first Samsung device to get a nano SIM. It will roll Android 4.4.4 Kitkat and powered by Exynos 5 Octa 5430 chipset. The camera pretty decent, 12 MP primary and 2.1 MP secondary. It will have an Super AMOLED 720p diplay which looks pretty good. Many pros along with a con, the battery quite small compared to other features.

The primary question at this stage is, Would Samsung enhance their metal addition to the Note 4 or probably their next year release S6..?!?

Fingers Crossed.

A Peek on the Sony Xperia Z3


An Upcoming Sony Flagship

After the amazing result of Sony Xperia Z2 (qualitatively of course) we are almost ready to hear from the next big thing i.e. the Sony Xperia Z3 at the IFA 2014 in Berlin next month. Not knowing the specs of the device we are looking at the bigger brother of the Z2 with the specs squeekingly close to the former. I guess Sony are considering a Six-month release cycle a Hit but the image that their sales numbers show is complete irony.

Peeking into some of the specs of this Gun, we have a 5.1”, 1080p display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU with Adreno 330 GPU, 3 gigs of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. It rolls a 19 MP Camera in the rear while a 2MP on front. Touching the dimensions, we get 146.46 x 72.09 x 7.3 mm of the Sony materials which looks down to S5, the LG flagship G3 and the HTC one M8. Despite of these sufficient dimensions we get to use a 0.4 inch shorter display which clearly implies that we get to hold inevitably sufficient big bezels....!

Sony holds a conference in about 3 week time on September 3. We possibly will be having a glance at the Xperia Z3 and the young bro Xperia Z3 compact and possibly a clean hand on their camera lenses QX10 and QX100.


Let’s see what we get...!
