The Galaxy Alpha and Note 4: proof positive that removable batteries don’t have to make your phone ugly

Posted on October 23, 2014 by Joe Levi

When it comes to cellular phones, removable batteries are nothing new, even the very earliest phones had a battery that you could remove and replace. Historically, this was more a necessity than a convenience. Until the last few years, battery technology suffered from various limitations that necessitated their ability to be removed and replaced fairly frequently.For their size, energy capacity wasn’t all that great. Charge times were slow, and discharge rates were fast. Over the years, these batteries even developed a “memory” that reduced their capacity due to the ...

Posted on September 4, 2014 by Joe Levi

Samsung just unveiled the all new Galaxy Note 4 – the phablet that all other phablets aspire to beat. At least that’s apparently what Samsung thinks, and wants the industry to believe.At its event, Samsung seemed to treat the Note 4 with much more care – and even reverence – than than it gave the Galaxy S brand. Currently Samsung holds its own with the Galaxy S, and it needs to expand. That’s the key in this industry: expand, or die. If you’re not making new products in ...

Samsung innovation

Posted on August 31, 2014 by Adam Doud

This coming week, we will be introduced to the latest in a line of reasonably successful phablets. The original Samsung Note arguably helped shape the “phablet” space when it debuted three years ago. It was in and of itself an innovation. Sure, it’s just a smartphone with a big screen, but sometimes the simplest innovations are the biggest (no pun intended) and most successful. And yes, it’s at this point that I grudgingly have to admit that a heart monitor is an “innovation”. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go vomit.Samsung has done its share of trying out new things over ...

When will Android support 64-bit chips?

Posted on October 8, 2013 by Joe Levi

We’ve already talked about the advantages and disadvantages of 64-bit versus 32-bit when it comes to smartphones and tablets. To recap, 64-bit should be faster and enable the inclusion of more RAM as compared to 32-bit, but the OS and apps will need some fairly heavy work before they’ll be able to take advantage of the advancements. Due to that, processor manufactures, app developers, and OS authors find themselves in the classic “chicken or the egg” conundrum: you can’t have one without the other. ...
