Samsung hosted it's (what seems like annual) Unpacked Event this year in Barcelona, Spain during the Mobile World Congress Convention. Yes! I know I'm late reporting this, but I've been distracted from the tech world for some time now, however, every now and again I get about 20-30 seconds to retreat back to the world of technology. So here i am.....and here it is!
First point on my list of Samsung Tech, is the Galaxy S 5....
.........or as I like to refer to, the iPhone 5s ( what should of happened )
Naturally, with the release of the iPhone 5s, Samsung was bound to release its counterpart sooner or later, and without fail...they did just that. Normally I would run through the specs But i found a Picture that does just that! And here it is.
Now, one thing that I like about this phone, that is not mentioned on the diagram above, is the new Ultra Power Saving Mode, which , when activated, shuts down everything other than the ability to make and receive calls and texts ( at the owners command, or automatic setting). This power saving mode combined with at 2800 mAh battery is sure to give you the 24 to 48 hour range that seems to be in high demand these days. (Aren't you proud of me for using pictures? ((you nod you head "yes")) yeah me too LOL)
Needless to say that the 5s sorry S5 will more than definitely give some great and however unfair competition for its Apple counter-partner. We well let the sales tell the story.... #AndroidFanForever
Moving on.....
Samsung Galaxy Gear 2
Now, after only a few months, we have a 2nd incarnation of the Galaxy Gear! (shown above) appropriately called the Gear 2, and with just a few simple changes to it, Samsung has proved to be listening to consumers. The Camera, Microphone and Speaker is now located on the watch itself rather than the wrist-strap like its predecessor. The Gear 2 is also equipped with a larger battery that is rumored to last for at least 3 days. I do believe the Gear 2 will outsell its predecessor, however, if the original gear will go on sale for an (actually) reasonable price, I would most definitely purchase it. I was happy with the first version, but I,m happier with the second installment!
Speaking of Price reductions, The Gear Neo (shown below) is a camera-less, speaker-less version of the Gear 2, for those who just want the basics in wearable tech. Other than that everything the Gear 2 and Gear Neo are exactly the same.
This next piece of equipment is what I'm impressed with is the Gear Fit. Although it does not have the camera or the microphone speaker (like the Gear Neo), It does have the shape that i believe ALL smart- watches/smart-bands SHOULD have.. (shown below)
But you know I have pricing predictions, they are as follows
Gear 2 = $299
Gear Neo and Fit = $199
Galaxy S5 = $249 (all carriers)
In any event........
these have been your technological announcements for Tuesday March 11, 2014, please govern yourselves accordingly!
