The following news will make you excited!

Recently, Samsung has announced a new smartphone, but the special thing about it is the camera. With new tech applied for the shooter, the upcoming handset will be much thinner, and the picture quality will be much improved. Specifically, the new cam can produce amazing low-light photos. It is so great, isn’t it?

To make it happen, the Korean giant has created 1.0 micrometre 16MP CMOS image sensor for the first time in the world. It does not take much space of a smartphone, which enables the machine to ignore the bulge for snapper on the back. Say, just imagine how slim a Samsung Galaxy S6 or Samsung Galaxy Note 4 can be without the rear bulge.

More than that, the new camera is able to take good photos in low lights. What a cool feature! Some people even think that the next flagship of Samsung, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, will sport this new sensor in order to compete effectively with others flagships in August. Yet, there is no word officially made by Samsung company, so we have to wait and see!

In conclusion, we can see that Samsung has been releasing much good news these days. Besides the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 5, we also have a new camera sensor known as 1.0 micrometre 16MP CMOS image sensor. Its wonderful features are that the sensor is slim, so the phone will be slim, and that it can create brilliant photos even in the low-light condition. Seems like everything is ready though it will take manufacturers some time to apply the new sensor to their new devices.

Well, what do you think about this news? Share with us your thinking!

The new leaked image of Golden Galaxy Note 5 gave us an specific idea of how the phablet will look like. Recently, there’s been a lot of speculation regarding the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 flagship and its hardware in particular.  A set of benchmark results also confirm some rumours about the Note 5’s power.

According to a screenshot of an anonymous tipster, we have received info of this  tablet that CPU-Z will run on a Note 5.

 Interm of the international version with the model number SM-N920F. As has  been rumored before, this iteration of the next Galaxy Note will indeed come  sporting Samsung’s own Exynos 7422 chipset. This chipset is the improvement of  Exynos 7420 running inside the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. Exynos 7422 will be the  company’s first ever all-in-one chip with the CPU, GPU, RAM, storage and modem  all together on the same slate under the hood.

 Moreover, it should be the first Samsung-made silicon to feature the modem on  the same chip as the CPU and GPU.

 It’s confirmed that the Note 5 will have 4GB RAM. It’s also going to have 32GB  of internal storage in this version, though it is not sure whethere or not the  microSD card slot will be supported.

 The phablet screen seems to be kept identical to the Galaxy brand’s phablet. The  Note 5 will have the 5.7-inch QHD panel and receive the upgraded tech for sure.

 The device tested is also running Android Lollipop 5.1.1, which hints at the  operating system the Galaxy Note 5 will probably ship with.

There were some live images of a purported Galaxy Note 5 showed that it won’t get an auto-eject mechanism for the S Pen stylus. About the handset announcement, we haven’t had the exact releasing date, though it is expected to be announced in the mid-August.

So, we have known the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 specs, from rumors, from benchmark, etc. What do you think about them and what do you expect for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 price in Malaysia?

The Samsung Galaxy S6 edge plus is rumored to be announced possibly in the August. The latest report from Vietnam said that the handset will have similar feature to the Galaxy Note 5, which is the alongside device and supported 4GB RAM inside. If the rumor is right, these two devices will be the first phones handling the Samsung brand to have 4GB of RAM inside.

Although latest rumor puts the kibosh on earlier talk that the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ would be powered by the Snapdragon 808 SoC, a rumored source in Vietnam told that it will sport the same Exynos 7420 chipset. This means that the phablets will have the same chipset as the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge.

However, the S6 edge+ ‘s chip could be set to a faster clock speed than the 2.1GHz that is used on the two older models.

Battery is also the point that many people notice. The Samsung Galaxy S6 edge Plus is rumored to feature a 3,000mAh cell. Therefore, will probably result in a very thin phone, it is likely to have the lower-end of the phablet space. The three versions Galaxy S6,Galaxy S6 edge and Galaxy S6 edge+ share the smaller batteries compared to their previous version – Galaxy S5.

We all expect to the two flagship Galaxy S6 edge+ and Galaxy Note 5 to be lauched in next month and that is when the truth of those rumors be checked out.

The Samsung brand has been famous for its launching tablet device. Galaxy Note series of phablets are known as the successful step, and it’s a wonder that they are still interested in producing a similar products. The newest coming version of Samsung is none other than the Samsung Galaxy Tab A, a new midrange tablet that supports productivity of an S Pen

According to TrendForce, Samsung has been the number one for shipments in the Q2 of 2015 all over the world. Its market share accounts for 26.8% and the strong sales of Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge definitely play important roles in that success.

The second to Samsung is Apple with 16.4% market share thanks to the sales of Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The differences between 26.8% for Samsung and 16.4% for Apple is quite remarkable. Many people can say that Samsung is making better business at the moment.

As for Chinese smartphone area, Huawei is leading the game with a market share of 7.6% in total and 18.3% among Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in China. Moreover, Huawei is anticipated to get about 100 million shipped units in 2015. On the other hand, if mentioning Chinese devices, we cannot forget Xiaomi. They also did a great job as well and even better than Lenovo in terms of Chinese OEMs and LG in terms of international companies.

Anyhow, above all the figures and ranking we have been talking about, TrendForce estimates that the shipments is likely to decrease this year in comparison with last year. One thing to explain the situation is that the demands for smartphones are weakening. Also, the global economics is not so good for the rest of the year that can partly affect lots of kinds of companies in the world.

It has been known popularly that the phablet Xiaomi Mi Note finally official launched in Malaysia. The Mi Note will be on sale this 28 July.

Obviously, the Xiaomi Mi Note has taken the attention of global with its impressive quality – the powerful specs and affordable price tag. The 5.7-inch device was put up against many others notable devices like iPhone 6+, Huawei Ascend Mate 7, and now – the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Samsung has been well known for its making phablets so far. Therefore, any devices having the similar sizes has to be put up against this world-famous Note flagship. This is why the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a major competitor to the Xiaomi Mi Note.

Specs Comparision

Here are some specifications come with the two flagships comparision – Xiaomi Mi Note vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 :

Design

As we can see that, the two phablets has the same dimension of 5.7-inch. However, the Xiaomi seems to have the dominant appearance with matal accents instead of the the Galaxy Note 4’s plastic material.

Function

By the way, if you are finding a device with higher function, then the advanced processor  of Galaxy Note 4 may please you rather than the Mi Note. In fact, both devices might have the similar performance and speed. They all feature the same 3GB of RAM, means that you will get the same multi-tasking power with both. Nevertheless, there may appear a difference in term of the software.

Display

The Samsung seems more likely to have a little bit higher resolution with QHD 2560x1440p, while Xiaomi Mi Note features LCD screen with 1080p resolution.

Battery Capacity

The battery performance of Mi Note are still in testing and it  seems like the Note 4 is hard to beat here. Note 4 ‘s battery is slightly larger, but its high pixels may consume a considerable battery.

Price & Conclusion

Finally, the Xiaomi’s price is one of the remarkable points. It costs around $390 (approx. RM 1,549) while the Note 4 price is much more higher compared to the Mi Note.

In short, if you really care for the Samsung’s features and the S Pen functionality, then the Note 4 is superior, and you will have to pay high premium price for sure.

Which one catch your attention more – Xiaomi Mi Note vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4 ? Let’s us know your opinion !!!

The e-SIM cards will appear, and traditional SIM cards will  no longer exist? The two companies  Apple and Samsung are in discussion with mobile carriers with the purpose to create virtual SIM.

Then, users may no longer need to swap the SIMs to switch phones, all they have to do is just interface on the device. This will be easier for the end users. This e-SIM, unlike traditional SIM cards, will allow smartphone, tablet or smartwatch users  to switch the SIM freely between networks.

GSMA CEO, Anne Bouverot, states in the report,”We have got everyone one one point, with Apple and Samsung agreeing to be part of that specification. We have been working with them and others to create an industry solution for machines and will agree a solution for consumer electronics.”

Operators expected to give their backing to the initiative include AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, Etisalat, Hutchison Whampoa, Orange, Telefónica and Vodafone.

As we can see that this is the remarkable step of Apple and Samsung to create the dominant change  in recent technology generation. It can be seen that virtual SIM can make it easier for not need to switch SIMs and carriers. However, there is a concern whether current SIM card will fit on a specific phone and the upgrades seem to be built-in and unremovable.

It’s reported that the new SIM solution is unlikely to arrive in devices until 2016. Let’s wait what the two giant tech of Apple and Samsung brand will bring to us. Hoping this will be the promising and optimistic mark for technology users.

Two of the most expected flagships in this H2 of 2015: Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and S6 edge Plus, are about to take off. We are glad to be informed that they will be released earlier than the time planned which has been said to be at IFA – the world’s leading trade show for consumer electronics and home appliances, in Berlin in September.

According to many news sources, Note 5 and S6 edge Plus will be announced on August 12 and available on sale around the end of the month. This can be a Samsung‘s strategy to start early sales of their new flagship smartphones in order to avoid a hard competition with Apple iPhone 6S as well as other potential candidates.

Specifically, both Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and S6 edge Plus have just passed certification in Singapore’s IDA database where the Note 5’s number is SM-N920I and S6 edge Plus’s is SM-G928I. The info also makes it clear that the rumor of a Samsung Galaxy Note edge replacement with an S-Pen will not happen at least in the Q3 of 2015.

As for design, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and S6 edge+ are reported to own premium glasses and metal unibodies like the current Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. It also implies that removable batteries and expandable microSD card slots will not be seen in the new machines.

As for specs, firstly, Note 5 will get a 5.67-inch 2K display and Samsung’s latest Exynos integrating octa-core processor, RAM, ROM, GPU and modem in just one unit. And of course, as what we have been heard for a long time, Note 5 will sport 4GB of LP-DDR4 RAM and a larger 4,100mAh battery than Samsung Galaxy Note 4‘s cell.

Next is the Galaxy S6 edge+. Though it was rumored to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor,  recent news has mentioned that S6 edge Plus specs will be similar to Galaxy S6 and S6 edge specs. That means it will probably come with an Exynos 7420 chip and 3GB RAM. Anyhow, it will not let us down since we know the S6 has been number one on benchmark list so far.

Besides some similarities, there are differences between S6 edge+ and S6 edge to note. The screen size of the Plus version is going to be bigger, about 5.3-5.4 inches, and so is the battery, up to 3,000mAh.

So, if those new handsets have appeared in Singaporean database, we predict that Malaysia will soon get confirmation for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and S6 edge Plus launch here. Moreover, Malaysia is also a key market for Samsung, so it is likely that Malaysia consumers can see both devices in early September.
