Samsung Galaxy Q With Full HD Flexible Display To Be Announced At MWC 2013

It seems that even though Samsung Galaxy S4 release date was not set or MWC 2013, there will be another Samsung terminal that will attract the public’s attention.

I am talking about Samsung Galaxy Q, a dual-display smartphone, which was previously teased by the South Korea-based phone maker. The guys atMobileGeeks have information that the model is real, and that Samsung will announce it at Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona.

The idea behind the Samsung Galaxy Q concept is that the two displays can be “united” in a single 1,080p screen. It’s true there were other companies that failed with their attempts to make successful dual-screen terminals, and the best examples are Kyocer, with Echo smartphone, while Sony’s Tablet P is not as popular as the Japanese company hoped.

It seems that Samsung Galaxy Q will use the FPD Display OLED technology presented by the Asia company a couple of years ago. You can see a video footage of the Flexible OLED display Samsung demoed in 2008.The first rumors about Samsung Galaxy Q surfaced in October 2012, and the creators of the popular Galaxy S line-up have confirmed that the product will be announced early 2013.

In the meantime Samsung has improved the flexible OLED display technology and the company exposed the YOUM concepts at the big tech fairs of the last years. A Samsung Youm prototype was displayed at this year’s CES edition, and even launched afunny commercial.

Rumor has it that Samsung Galaxy Q will have two 5.3-inch displays which can be folded outwards to form a single display, in a similar way you’ve seen in the commercial above.

There are no details about the hardware platform that will underpin the Samsung Galaxy Q, but since we are dealing with a full HD display, we might be talking about company’s proprietary Exynos 4 Quad or Exynos 5 Dual chipsets.

Would you buy a Samsung terminal with a full HD flexible display?

iPhone 4S Will Be Much More Powerful Than iPhone 4 With A5 Processor, 1GB RAM, 8MP Camera, Improved Optics

Don’t miss this report from TheNextWeb: Apple is going to announce the iPhone 4S after 2 hours from now and it will be a great device to buy. Reliable sources told TNW that the iPhone 4S “is much more powerful than an iPhone 4″ and “feels like the high-end device”.

According to the report, the iPhone 4S will be announced today sporting an 8 megapixel camera, A5 processor, 1 GB of RAM, improved optics, and a “more accurate differential GPS stage. The camera will be manufactured by Sony as reported before.

Sources familiar with Apple’s plans have revealed to us that Apple will indeed debut the new iPhone 4S today, featuring an 8-megapixel camera with “improved optics” and a “more accurate differential GPS stage” thanks to Apple’s new Qualcomm chipset. [...] all but confirming that the device will feature Apple’s new A5 processor and include 1GB RAM, as tipped in previous reports, noting that the device will retain the same dimensions and design as the iPhone 4.

The site’s reliable source reported that the iPhone 5 rumors were all just a hoax and it will be released next year not this year.

We’re still confused since a case manufacturer has made 500,000 cases for a mystery device which looks similar to the iPhone 5 rumored specs. May be this case is made for a new iPod touch or… mini-iPad as AppAdvice thinks.

Let us know what do you think.

Apple Announces New iPod Touch Available In “White” Rolling Out On October 12th

Another major Apple announcement in today`s “Let`s talk iPhone” event is the new iPod Touch. As you know iPods are basically iPhones without the phone functionality like making calls and sending SMS.

The new iPod will be available in white like the iPhone giving users more styles to suit every customer`s taste.

It was highly expected that the new iPod Touch will bring the 3G functionality as one of its upgraded features, but that didn’t turn out to be the case. The iPod Touch `s and iPhone`s identical hardware specs and very close hardware design and features has raised the hopes for a new iPod Touch with a phone functionality to help them get around the whole tying up idea of having a contract with a major phone carrier.3G connectivity would have made life easier for those who don`t have access to WI-FI hotspots, but apparently, this was not a top-of the-chart priority for Apple.

The new iPod Touch will be available on October 12th in 8GB priced at $199 and a 32GB at a price of $399.

Next iPhone Will Be Based On Steve Jobs’ Vision And Design!

Steve Jobs has passed away leaving the greatest company in the world (in my opinion) which he started from his garage. Everyone is now asking about Apple’s destination after Steve Jobs’ death, will it be as successful as it is now, more successful or less? Well, it looks like Steve Jobs’ soul will be still working there at Apple helping it to be more successful.

Everyone knows that the company’s road-map is already set for the several years, and Jobs have played a key role in setting those plans in motion.

That’s what is said.. Steve Jobs not only played the biggest role in the development of the iPhone 4S set to debut next week, but also the next-generation iPhone, the iPhone 5.The news comes from the president of Japanese carrier Softbank who said ”even after [Jobs'] death the work that he spearheaded will come out to the world”.

Apple’s new devices are and software updates aren’t thrown just a week before an announcement. Actually, they go in production for years before the announcement so Apple may really have developed the iPhone 5.
