Samsung Galaxy Note 7 First Looks

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/samsung-galaxy-note-7-first-looks/ Posted By Sandy Berger on Aug 11, 2016 in Smartphones With the August 19 release of the new Note 7, Samsung will get a jump on Apple who won’t have their new smartphone available until sometime in October. DJ Ko, President of Samsung’s Mobile Communications, calls the Note 7 the most intelligent smartphone ever

Samsung started the move to large screen smartphones with the introduction of their Note series back in 2011. At that time they also introduced the S Pen stylus to the smartphone arena. The new Note 7 (they skipped the number 6) continues the Note tradition with a 5.7” Super AMOLED screen and an improved S Pen. The Note 7 takes its inspiration from the popular Galaxy Edge 7 having similar dual curved edges and a rounded back and being covered with Gorilla Glass 5. It comes in the usual black, silver and gold. However, Samsung has also added a striking new metallic slate blue color, as well. New features are impressive. Both the S Pen and the entire phone are water and dust resistant. Like the Samsung Galaxy Edge 7, the Note 7 is rated IP68 which means it can withstand water up to 5’ for 30 minutes. This is quite a feat considering that this phone has a removable micro SD card slot as well as the removable S Pen stylus which creates difficult areas to keep dry. The card slot can accommodate cards up to 256 GB and the phone itself has 64 GB of internal memory. In fact, Samsung seems to have focused on usability. Like the Samsung Galaxy 7, a phone that I really like, the Note 7 has a high quality camera with dual pixel technology and autofocus which is excellent in low light. The biggest surprise from Samsung in this announcement is that the Note 7 will support iris scanning with some of the latest technology. Samsung is the first to deploy this technology on a phone worldwide. Samsung has really beefed up the S Pen. Samsung has spent several years of working with Wacom, the company that pioneered the stylus, to improve the S Pen. It is now both more responsive and more precise. It is also water and dust resistant. It now has a thinner tip which is only .7 ml thick. Samsung has given the S Pen more capabilities including an easier way to erase and a more realistic feel. The new Samsung Notes App will corral all of the S Pen apps in one place. The pen itself has also increased its intelligence with the ability to do on-the-spot translations, to pin notes to the always on display, and to easily create clips of GIFs which The Note 7 has a strong 3500 mAh battery that supports wireless charging. Samsung has made the move to the USB “C” port that made its debut in the iPhone. When Apple made that move everyone had to either purchase new accessories or purchase an adapter to use their old accessories. Samsung will have buyers smiling when they realize that Samsung has included the adapter in the box. The Note 7 also has an audio jack which is reported to be missing from the upcoming iPhone. Samsung is providing a new cloud service with 15 GB of free storage for Note 7 purchasers. They are also focusing on privacy and security. The new iris scanning is the first line of defense. Also, like the other new Galaxy phones, the Note 7 has KNOX, Samsung’s defense-grade mobile security platform embedded at the chip level. I love the idea of the new Secure Folder where you can store apps and files that you want to keep private even if you lend your phone to a friend. With the new iris scanning technology, this folder will truly be “for your eyes only.” It can even be hidden from view. The Note 7 runs Marshmallow 6.0 on a 2.15GHz, 1.6GHz, Quad-Core processor. It goes without saying that this phone will have all of the other expected features like Accelerometer, Barometer, Fingerprint Sensor, Gyro Sensor, Geomagnetic Sensor, Hall Sensor, HR Sensor, Proximity Sensor, RGB Light Sensor, NFC, and Bluetooth 4.2. Samsung might also have a few surprises. Ko announced that they are working with Amazon to bring HDR content to mobile. The Note 7 will have a standing cover, interactive motion wallpaper and new games using the Vulcan API. Of course, we will wait for the next iPhone before we call this the best smartphone ever. We can attest, however, that Samsung is definitely giving Apple some strong competition. Read more at http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/samsung-galaxy-note-7-first-looks/#5YibcG0mhLGsrv73.99

Samsung SSD 850 EVO 4tb

http://www.anandtech.com/show/10480/samsungs-850-evo-ssd-4-tb-listed-for-1499

Samsung quietly added its 4 TB 850 EVO SSD model to the product to the lineup back in May (according to its own datasheet) without making any formal announcements. Earlier this month the company lifted the embargo on reviews of the product (you can read ours here) and began to ship the high-capacity SSD to its partners. By now, all the major retailers already either have the product in stock, or are taking pre-orders with ETA about a week from today, at a US MSRP of $1499

As for performance, the Samsung 850 EVO 4 TB drive resembles other higher-end models in the 850 EVO family. The manufacturer declares maximum sequential read speed of 540 MB/s as well as maximum sequential write speed of 520 MB/s for the SSD. As for random performance, the drive delivers a top speed of 98,000/90,000 4K random read/write IOPS. Maximum power consumption of the drive is 3.1 W/3.6 W during active read/write operations, which is also in line with the rest of the high-end 850 EVO SSDs. Right now, virtually all the biggest retailers in the world already have the Samsung 850 EVO 4 TB in stock, or, at least, list the drive and take pre-orders. We could say that the highest-capacity consumer-class SSD is now widely available, however, we should note that in many stores the first batch was sold out immediately and some only have

the LG power review

http://www.anandtech.com/show/10515/lg-x-power

In the mid-range segment of the smartphone market you really have two types of products. The first are smartphones like the Moto G, which try to provide a good all-around experience. They aren't really exceptional in any respect, but the hope is that providing a decent experience in every respect will lead to a good overall user experience. The second type of device is one that really sells itself on a single feature. Whether it be a great camera, or a great display, the phone's identity is based on this one aspect. That doesn't necessarily mean that the other aspects of the phone are bad, but there may not be the same balance as there is with a good all-around performer. The smartphone I'm reviewing today falls into that second camp. It's the LG X Power, a device that really sells itself on being a smartphone that will last far longer than any other. The LG X Power is just one device in LG's line of smartphones that all focus on being the best at a single thing, with some other devices in the line being named the LG X Style, LG X Mach, LG X Max, and LG X Screen. The LG X Power is the first device I've ever reviewed that really ties itself to a single feature, and you can check out its entire spec sheet below. LG X Power SoC Intl:MediaTek MT6735, 4x 1.3GHz Cortex A53 + Mali-T720 North America:Snapdragon 212, 4x 1.3GHz Cortex A7 + Adreno 304 RAM Intl: 2GB LPDDR3 North America:1.5GB LPDDR3 Display 5.3" 1280x720 IPS LCD Size / Mass 148.9 x 74.9 x 7.9mm, 139g Battery 4100 mAh Rear Camera Intl: 13MP f/2.2 w/ 1080p video record North America: 8MP f/2.4 w/ 720p video record Front Camera 5MP f/2.4 Storage 16GB + MicroSD Connectivity 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n + BT 4.1, Micro-USB 2.0, GPS/GNSS, 3.5mm audio Price $159 USD on Cricket Wireless

The Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch packs LTE into a giant 46mm case

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/08/the-samsung-gear-s3-smartwatch-packs-lte-into-a-giant-46mm-case/ Samsung announced a new smartwatch today, the Gear S3. Like the Gear S2, this is a Tizen-powered smartwatch with a stainless steel case and a rotating bezel. Samsung is packing everything it can into its smartwatch this year. There's a bigger, 1.3-inch 360×360 display, an optional LTE version, the addition of MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission) technology for Samsung Pay, a speaker and microphone for calls, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a barometer. Bigger isn't always better in the smartwatch world, though, and the Gear S3 sounds like a behemoth—the case has grown from 44mm to 46mm. Compare that to the Apple Watch, which comes in 38mm and 42mm sizes. FURTHER READING Samsung reveals luxury Gear S2 Classics, brings iOS support to smartwatch line For specs, the S3 has a dual-core 1GHz "Exynos" chipset (no model given), 786MB of RAM, 4GB of storage, and a 380mAh battery. The watch is IP68 rated for water and dust protection. There are two different styles to choose from this year: the traditionally styled "Classic" watch—which does not have LTE—and a more rugged-looking "Frontier" version, which comes with LTE baked in. Samsung is promising "3-4 days" on a charge, but that's probably not with LTE turned on. Both watches are 12.9mm thick and are compatible with most 22mm watch bands. The Galaxy Gear S3 has Corning's new Gorilla Glass SR+ for the cover—a new formula that Corning says is specifically aimed at wearable devices. Corning says the new formulation has "superior scratch resistance approaching that of alternative luxury cover materials, while delivering up to 70 percent better damage resistance against impacts and 25 percent better surface reflection than those alternative materials." We're guessing that "luxury cover material" is sapphire. There's no word on pricing yet, but the watch should be out sometime before the end of the year.
