Apple iWatch: The plus and the failures

The CEO of Apple, Tim Cook named the watch company (Apple Watch) as the "most personal device that created Applepote." Below we take a look at the positives and negatives on the last device of Apple, whose value starts at $ 349. 

The scorecard for Apple Watch 

Fashion: The Apple CEO Tim Cook repeatedly stressed that the Apple clock is made to be used and has many customizable features. Also, watch Apple will have six different straps that can be easily exchanged. 

Navigation: The clock uses a line to navigate with a touchscreen. Digital Corona is used to select the dates, gliding through catalogs and go to the main screen. 

Innovation: Charging through MagSafe and sensor alignment. Sensors detect pulse. A gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS and Wi-Fi iPhone is used. It is digital touch, similar to Morse code system delivers messages to your contacts quickly, or a list of close friends. 

Win: The strap design is Apple. Guess who wins ... Apple fans will buy multiple straps for any occasion. 

Applications: See Apple already seems to have more applications than the corresponding clocks with Android. The Siri is a nice touch. A photograph of applications makes the watch more than Apple as a "suspension". 

Developers: Apple spent the WatchKit, which allows developers to create communication applications and more. 

Compatibility: Apple clock will work with the latest iPhones (obviously), and the iPhone and 5c 5s. 

Payment of Apple: See Apple Apple cooperate with payment, the payment system company that works with all major banks and some retailers. 

Failures 

It tells the time! The cook and designer Jony Ive mentioned how accurate clock Apple. So far no one SmartWatch presentation said the device 'says' time. It's probably a good move. 

First generation: OK watch Apple certainly looks more sophisticated than the Android watches on the market, but still a first generation device. Of course Apple fans will have no problem to buy a first generation device. The rest can wait. 

Price: Starting at $ 349, but will rise as gold and features it contains. 

The clock has an Apple iPhone. 

Availability. Watch the Apple will be available in early 2015, to the dismay of fans of the company. 

Battery life: is a mystery. Cook said Apple's clock can be charged every night, which means the battery life of approximately 12 hours.

The Apple announced the new iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus with larger screen

The Apple as it did last year, introduced two new iPhones. Apple CEO, Tim Cook took the stage to announce, among other things, new smartphones of the brand in two different sizes. 

The iPhone 6 with a 4.7 inch screen, and the iPhone 6 Plus 5.5-inch model. 

The iPhone 6 and iPhone Plus comes in three different versions: 16, 64 and 125 GB 

The pre-orders for America from September 12 and Apple devices will begin on September 19. 

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus: 

A brand new design: The new design is more rounded, larger and easier to maintain. The iPhone 6 has a thickness of 6.9 mm and 7.1 mm iPhone 6 Plus. Both devices are thinner and lighter than the iPhone 5. 

The larger 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch screens: The iPhone 6 comes with a Retina HD display, which is approximately twice the screen resolution of the iPhone 5. iPhone 6 comes with 1,334 x 750 resolution (326 pixels per inch) iPhone 6 Plus comes with 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. The new smartphones are more than 2 million and 3 million pixels respectively. 

64-bit chip A8: The two new smartphones that carry dual A8 A7 first generation chip next-generation chip, which has two billion transistors. 

M8 co-processor: A new co-processor that runs parallel to the main chip for the continuous measurement of traffic data without overloading the battery life. The coprocessor can understand M8 altitude, such as stairs. The new device also has a new sensor called the barometer, which measures the altitude of the air pressure. 

Improved 8MP camera: The camera has been upgraded from the iPhone 5 years, with some new additions, and a new sensor and improved. The true tone indicator changes color depending on the ambient light. Autofocus is two times faster than it was before. Panoramic images now reach 43 megapixels. The iPhone 6 comes with a new optical image stabilizer. 

Better battery: At least proportionally. At least better than iPhone 5s. Wait about 11 hours of video and Wi-Fi browsing, and about 14 hours of video and check out the iPhone 6 Plus. 

Faster networks, LTE: The next generation of now speeds can reach up to 150 Mbps compared to 100 Mbps, which had the previous models. In Greece you will tell me what to do?

Samsung Surprise Galaxy Note Edge IFA 2014

The Note Edge is "the icing on the cake" and we say it is a variant of Note 4 to the difference that has curved edges of the screen. Although prima facie it seems useful, Sasmung proposed appearance notifications when the device is locked, but also information such as time and date. Here we can create a second dock with our favorite apps, and many of the pre-installed applications such as camera, using this "side" bar to raise the controls them. 

Although it looks like unfinished idea is the first step for future devices with curved screens that will affect the market in the future.

Galaxy Note 4 officially the new flagship of Samsung phablet

The Galaxy Note 4, the new flagship of Samsung phablet officially launched yet and raises the bar higher.

The Korean company has developed a "beast" with Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAM and 16MP camera with optical stabilization system.

For starters I want to say that the presentation of the device was excellent, pleasant, with humor, without tiring and without smoke and mirrors. (Okay, and Rachel was amazing).

Design Galaxy Note 4

The design of Note 4 left me positive first impressions, which helped the metal frame and small bezels. The device will be available in four colors: white, black, pink and -of course- gold / bronze. The Hardware Home Button, although is a registered trademark of Samsung finds not so consistent, although at this point I will refer to a different article.

SoC, processor and memory 

Note 4 is the flagship device and the SoC confirms: Snapdragon 805 in 2,7Ghz, GPU Adreno 420 to 600Mhz, 3GB dual-channel LPDDR3e RAM memory to 933 MHz, and Standard Capacity 32GB expandable card MicroSD. Respectively will be released in some markets (but not in our country) and version Exynos SoC.

S-Amoled screen in Note 4

Note 4 This is the first device in the series Note that offers "more" than the previous screen. It remains to say 5,7in but increases its analysis in QHD (2560x1440), which makes it surpasses a while and dam of 500ppi. The presentation indicated that although there are already more mobile with QHD screens on the market, the fact that Note 4 has S-AMOLED screen makes it "much better" which makes "unfair" to compare them. Also contains 2,5D Gorilla Glass 3, which means that the glass is slightly convex to facilitate the gestures of the edges.

Camera in Note 4

The camera was one of the areas the Samsung stressed enough during the Introductions. The Note 4 has a 16MP rear camera with optical image stabilizer, as well as front 3,7MP with fast aperture F1,9. The front camera has a wide angle lens, but also has functions for even more "wide" shots moving slightly right and left camera. The increase in Megapixel front camera has a side effect the ability to record video 2560 × 1440.

S-Pen in Note 4

The hallmark of the series Note, the S-Pen has accepted numerous improvements and corrections in Note 4 to improve the user experience and the actions to go with it "spontaneously". Along with the Air Command will find the Action Memo, Screen Write, Image Clip and the brand new Smart Select to select information from many different "parts" and the easy sharing.

Battery Note 4 

Note 4 The battery is 3220mAh, the same substance as that of Note 3. The Samsung said it would provide better autonomy of 7.5% thanks to improvements in hardware. This percentage may not seem impressive, but if you combine it with the fact that it has increased the resolution of the device. Moreover, in Note 4 and will allow quick charging, ie charging from 0 to 50% battery in just 30 minutes.

Maybe something like "even more" in this area, I guess we should expect the upgrade to Android L for even greater improvement.

Availability and price Note 4 

The presentation stated that the device will be available in October, so those already in a hurry to get there will have to wait long. The price is expected to be the same as the original price was and Note 3 (~ 750 euros) which obviously makes "luxury for the few." Most interesting to me is not so original price, but how much it costs to ~ 2-3 months from now, whenever and probably "pays" the market.

The Meizu choose the MX4 a recipe that made ​​the success MX3, and there are two people oktapyrino quad agreement, the Samsung Exynos leave the old year model and Mediatek. This theoretically saves the battery as a secondary explosion relief that comes when you need to.

The camera stays on the construction and Sony are probably the same as the second type z Xperia, which means that the photo would be great, because everyone else is expected of a true flagship. FlymeOS 4.0 will be released on a truly custom ROM Android 4.4.4, which is similar to iOS and have musical ideas and comfort for everyday use. Regularly updated and passed on to later, suffice it to say that the MX3 and Flyme 3.0 is already in version 4.4 of Android.

Meizu InWatch 
Stealing and is still InWatch the device and the other as smartwatch and works more like a fitness MSNBC, count our steps, sleep and shows a simple ad.

At the end will fly to represent.

Time will tell if it is a good idea, however, the cost will be $ 65 and will probably only work with the office MX4. For Meizu company has asked for $ 325 and the money is a joy compared to today.
