Samsung Galaxy S4 Release Date Rumors & What to Expect

In recent times, the rumors regarding on Samsung's next-generation flagship Galaxy S4 reaching a fever pitch. Masses of reports suggest that this mobile will be unveiled at some point next year with boasting a 13-megapixel camera, new quad-core Exynos Adonis processor built using 28nm technology, and 5-inch Super AMOLED display with full HD (1920×1080) resolution, making it on par with the HTC Droid DNA. So here let us take a look at what we features and specs could expect from Galaxy S4.

Galaxy S4 – Design

Now since mobile makers are in a race to see who could make the biggest, slimmest and lightest devices, so what to expect is that the Galaxy S4 will bigger, slimmer and lighter than S3, and hopefully S4 is built with far better quality materials.

Galaxy S4 – Display

Latest reports point out that Galaxy S4 will features a 5-inch full HD 1920x1080 pixel display that’ll pack in a staggering pixel density of 441ppi. Samsung is also reported to use flexible OLED panels rather than glass setups aboard its next flagship, although whether this actually turns out to be the case remains to be seen.

Galaxy S4 – Processor

It is said that Samsung will showcase a dual quad-core mobile process at the International Solid-Stat Circuits Conference in February next year. The System-on-Chip (SoC) is a 28nm chip, with one quad-core cluster running at 1.8GHz for high performance apps, and the other running at 1.2GHz for energy efficiency. Based on an ARM A15 Cortex setup, this chipset is widely believed to be the one that will power Samsung’s Galaxy S4. We all know that Galaxy S4 is the biggest release next year, Samsung is sure to not lunch a new flagship with its current processor chip. It is not Samsung's style. So let us stay tuned to see the coming of Samsung's flagship, with the new Exynos-branded ARM A15-based SoC capable of staggering processing power.

Galaxy S4 – Storage

Most likely that Galaxy S4 will have three versions: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, all of which with SD support. As you probably know, Samsung has kicked off its its 10nm 64GB eMMC memory chip, and already putting this 64GB chip to use inside a new black variant of its Galaxy S3, which is due to launch in the UK later this month. That means the top-end Galaxy S4 will follow this trend and finally get a 64GB version plus with SD-support.

Galaxy S4 – Camera

According to multiple sources, the Galaxy S4 will features a 13-megapixel Sony Exmore RS sensor, which means that there will be a truly high-end camera built into Samsung's next-generation flagship and Galaxy S4 will have one of the best shooters on the market.

Galaxy S4 – LTE

As I said before, LTE is the trend of future network, so there can be no doubt that Samsung will outfit 4G LTE on Galaxy S4, just Samsung ever does with Galaxy S3 and Note 2.

Galaxy S4– Battery Life

We already know that the S3's 2100mAh blows S2 out of the water, so the battery life on S4 should totally beat the S3. Motorola has proven that it is just a piece of cake to pack a 3,300mAh power into RAZR Maxx, we are highly expect Samsung will bring us with more surprise on its next Galaxy S4.

Galaxy S4 – Release Date

It seems more than likely that Samsung will release the Galaxy S4 at NWC 2012, instead focusing on the launch in May 2013. You know, nearly every year Samsung chooses that time to announce its top handset.

Having said that, I bet there will be a few leaked images relating to the Galaxy S4 during NWC 2013 and CES 2013. So, let us wait for a while to get the closest to the truth.

Top 10 Best Christmas Movies for Kids and Family in 2012 Christmas Holiday

The greatest time of the year Christmas is coming again! And all your family members will get together at Christmas for grand celebration. To fire up the Christmas mood, watching Christmas movies is obviously the ideal way. Since there are decades worth of Christmas movies that could now be purchased for building Christmas ambiance like romance, good triumphs over evil and the spirit of goodness and giving at Christmas , right here I just provide a top 10 list of best Christmas movies for family rerunning on this holiday season.

1. Those oldies yet enjoying great popularity all time

• It’s a Wonderful Life

A happy-go-lucky angle helps a despairingly frustrated man to visit the world where he never ever existed, and finally make him understand the real value of living. Premiering in 1946 and starring James Stewart, this hear-warming and bittersweet film is deserving your Christmas viewing.

•  White Christmas

The highlight of this timeless movies is that two screen legends Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye are brought together to boost our Christmas air with beginning-to-end songs and dances. Those awesome shows are sure to immerse your whole family into the Christmas spirit.

• Miracle on 34th Street

This is another classic that can be enjoyed by the whole family on this coming Christmas. The amazing movie just tells a story that the man Kris Kringle pays all his effort to demonstrate Santa Claus actually exists. The tunes, setting and actor performance are pretty gorgeous in this movie. I do believe your whole family will be deeply impressed while watching together.

2. The Comedies to bring your family more laughters

• Elf

A man raised as elf who goes off to New York to search his real identity. The whole adventure is full of ridiculous fun. It is a real feel good film with a funny but heart-warming theme. I like it so much and so I highly recommend it to you all this Christmas.

• The Santa Claus

Personally, there are just few films that deserve to be seen every Christmas, and The Santa Claus is one of them. You really have no need to waste your money and time to watch other Santa Claus sequels, because this one is the best and is amazing beyond your imagination. A man inadvertently kills Santa on Christmas Eve and finally finds himself magically recruited to take Santa's place. To make his son pleasure, he has to become the new Santa. After you watch it, you will find it shows very touched relationship between father and son. Strongly suggest you to watch it with your kids.

• Home Alone

Doubtlessly, Macaulay Culkin's Home Along fits your bill as you shop for it this Christmas. When 8-year-old Kevin is accidentally left home along by his family while they fly off to France for Christmas Vocation, he has to defend this home against idiotic thieves. This black comedy is quite suitable for kids and brings them so much fun.

• The Holiday

The Holiday is a perfect date movies for adults or someone else who are looking for a good romantic comedy. The heartwarming movie takes place at Christmas time but not mention too much about the Christmas mood. However, the big snow in this movie will get your family into the festive spirit fully.

• National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

Among all kids of Christmas movies, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is my favorites. Bear in mind that it is not suitable for your kids, just watch it after they go to bed. So to speak, this movie is a little bit slap-stick. If you love such kind of movie, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation fits you perfectly. It tells a story that Griswald family plan on staying home for the festive season to enjoy the best Christmas ever. Cue crazy scenes of Chevy Chase putting up Christmas lights, Christmas trees and other madcap family mayhem.

3. For the Kiddies

• The Snowman

The Snowman is adapted by the famous book The Snowman and gets an immediate success. This wordless animation tells the wonderful movies by pictures, actions and music.

• Father Christmas

Another great animation could make your children laughing thanks to the humor of Father Christmas. Quite beautiful video deserves your kids' watching.

Those above are all top 10 best Christmas Movies I strongly recommend. You can also shop for them on DVD from Amazon and make them as Christmas gifts. Well, pick up your favorite one for Christmas viewing on big screens, or just watch them on your portable devices like iPad Mini, iPad 4, iPhone 5, Galaxy S3, etc. Have fun!

5 Best Christmas Gifts 2012 for iPad Owners

Okay, it is a little bit earlier to say "Merry Christmas" to you, but there is no better time than right now to prepare some Christmas gifts for loved ones! Wondering what gifts to pick up for your friends who own an iPad(No matter the iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4 or even the newest iPad Mini) or soon-to-be a iPad owners? If so, to save your time and energy to hunt for some iPad gift ideas, below I have roundup a list of coolest, trendiest and most fashionable iPad gadgets, accessories and more for your surprising Christmas gifts this coming holiday season. Just check out my most recommended 5 picks below.

1. iPad Cases

If your friends already own an iPad but haven't done anything to protect it, iPad cases are no doubt the ideal Christmas gift, which could not only switch the iPad screen on and off, but also give protections to both back and front. Your friends can also fold back the case so as to prop iPad up a comfortable angle for typing and video watching. There are a wide range of iPad cases available, you can buy Apple Smart Cover as the gift, or purchase other types from Amazon, eBay, etc. as the presents.

2. iPad Car Kit

If your friends currently are planning a Christmas family vacation, it is the best for you to consider buying an iPad car kit to make their kids' entertained while on the journey. With such an iPad car kit, an in-car TV can be effortlessly built! They could pop iPad in it and then strap iPad to the back of the seat for kids to watch movies. Moreover, when getting to the destination, this iPad car kit could double as a protective case for iPad when taking it out of the car.

3. iPad Stylus Pen

With a fashionable stylus pen, writing, sketching and painting on iPad will be more convenient than using a finger. For those who want to use iPad for making presentations, this stylus pen is a quite helpful item. If your friends have not got such a pen, your golden chance is coming! Just shop for it as an awesome Christmas gift!

4. iPad Keyboard Dock

Without any doubt, the touch screen of iPad works great. However, if your friends are happened to be the ones that are not accustomed to take use of touch screen, a physical keyboard will be much helpful, right? You can choose it as a perfect Christmas present for friends. Meanwhile, among tons of keyboard docks, Apple iPad Keyboard dock is the one I highly suggest.

5. iTunes gift card

The last Christmas gift for iPad owner I recommend is iTunes gift card, which lets your friends shop for favorite movies, apps, songs, books and more from Apple store at any time they like. You can send them one card and let your friend equip their own iPad the way they want.

After browsing through all my lists, I do believe you have already made your decisions. So, do not hesitate to shop for the one already on your mind and surprise your beloved ones on 2012 Christmas.

Images of HTC Deluxe DLX Leaked with Various Color Options

We have to admit that the HTC Droid DNA is the hottest mobile phone of late and have already earned so many praises. It is said DNA enjoys great popularity after officially launched on Version earlier this week. Most likely you now have placed the HTC Droid DNA in your wish list. Well, for guys living outside the US but eager to own HTC Droid DNA, the cool news is coming: its international version---HTC Deluxe DLX is not far behind!

To start with, let us check out all leaked photos of HTC Deluxe DLX. Seemingly, it will be available in three colors: white, black and brown. Which color is your favorite?

Making mention of the outfitted stuffs, since the HTC Deluxe DLX is the new brother of the US-bound HTC Droid DNA, it should come with the following insides. Possibly, there will be some changes when it is officially announced.

• SLCD3 1080p with a mind-blowing 440ppi density
• Qualcomm S4 Pro 1.5GHz quad-core CPU
• 2GB of RAM
• 8MP camera rear-facing camera capable of 1080p at 30fps
• f/2.0 2.1 MP Front-facing camera capable of 720p
• Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with Sense 4+ on top
• 4G LTE
• 2.5v headset and speaker amplifier with Beats Audio
• 2020 mAh Battery
• 9.1mm thin

Face-to-face, this is a device that I am long anticipated and it could perfectly replace my old iPhone 4S. Certainly, the Nexus 4 is also a great choice but it seems that it is unobtainable by most of us across the globe. The 1080p display and ultra-fast S4 CPU of HTC Deluxe DLX makes it really an appealing device.

Talking about its release date, since the Black Friday is slipping away, it appears that this phone will not see the light of day this year. So I bet the most likely time to launch this flagship smartphone will be on NWC 2013. And now various sources mention that more infos regarding on this mobile will be unveiled on December 6th, so let us stay tuned! Additionally,  prepare your money to get it!

HTC Droid DNA vs. Samsung Galaxy Note 2: Tough Fight!

iPod Touch 5G vs iPod Touch 4G: Full Comparison for Your Black Friday Reference

As the era of smartphone rises, it is widely believed that the age of MP3 player is coming to an end. However, now Apple still keeps its iPod Touch lineup living and updates iPod device to 5th generation. With the hotly-anticipated Black Friday getting close, I found there are so many music enthusiasts hanging about choosing which generation of iPod Touch for Thanksgiving gift. So today I will show you all a full comparison between these two booming devices, so as to let you know better about the difference between the iPod Touch 5G and iPod Touch 4G just before you go to buy them on Black Friday.

Dimensions

From above photo, you will clearly find that iPod Touch 5G basically remains the original physical design, and simultaneously becomes much thinner and taller. Just following the evolution of iPhone 5, the screen aspect ratio of iPod touch 5G grows to be 16:9. The screen aspect of iPod touch 4G is 3:2.

Weight

When it comes to the weight of iPod Touch 5G, you must see that the iPod Touch 5G is much lighter than iPod 4G. When putting it on your pocket, I do believe you will always worry about the disappearing of this new 5G iPod. 

Display

Just similar to the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S, there is a screen increase for the two iPod touch generations. Apple has upgraded the 3.5-inch screen to a bigger 4-inch Retina screen.

Speaking of the screen resolution, the fourth generation is 960x640 at 326 pixels per inch, while the newer iPod Touch has a pixel resolution of 1,136x640 pixel resolution at also 326 pixels per inch.

Processor

As is known to all, the 5th generation iPod touch is the first model in iPod family to outfit a dual-core processor. The A5 processor makes the 5G iPod Touch fast and powerful enough for generally uses.

The engine power of the older 4G iPod touch is an A4 chip. For today's standards, it is a bit slow while doing multi-tasks on iPod touch 4G, like watch HD videos on iPod Touch. 

RAM

Comparing to the 4G iPod touch, the RAM of this newest iPod is upgraded to a double number 512MB. Combined with the dual-core chip and the perfect iOS, the 5G touch will be pretty quick. 

Storage

At present, the iPod Touch 5G is made available in the 32GB and 64GB variants, while the fourth generation offers in 16GB and 32GB options.

Wireless Connectivity

Talking about the connectivity, there is no difference between 4G and 5G iPod Touch. Both two devices are able to connect with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. 

Cameras

The camera of 5G iPod touch is a massive upgrade over its predecessor. It has a 5MP iSight camera and a front-facing camera with 1.2 megapixels. Meanwhile, it support to record video of up to 720p.

No quite detailed camera specs of 4G iPod Touch are provided by Apple. We just know that it supports to record videos at 720p. 

Battery

The iPod Touch 5G supports 40 hours music playback time and 8 hours for video playback. Meantime, the 4G variant has a music playback time of 40 hours, yet one hour less video playback time than iPod touch 5G. 

Voice Assistant

Far as I know, the iPod touch 5G is the fourth Apple device to equip Siri (after the iPhone 4S, New iPad and iPhone 5). This voice assistant could recognize so many languages. Personally, it is a quite great aide for our daily life. Bear in mind that you need to connect Wi-Fi if wanting to use Siri. 

Some other comparison about iPod touch 5G and iPod touch 4G:

About selling colors: the 4G iPod is only available on black and white versions, while 5G touch have a white front and various color choices for black.

About selling prices: Perhaps the only reason you will choose the 4G iPod Touch on this Black Friday is its much cheaper price. It will cost you $199 for the 16GB version while compared to $299 for the 32GB version of iPod Touch 5G.

Just my personal view, I highly suggest you to buy the newest iPod touch 5G on Black Friday. It is said that Apple will give some discounts for this appealing device. Well, if you just care about the price, iPod touch 4G is also a good choice.

Movie Review: Argo

Believe it or not, Ben Affleck's Argo is the best movie of this year, at least it was to me. Just a matter of personal preference, I love those movies that make me think lots after I watch them on the movie theater. When I go out of the cinema, I still cannot believe the full satisfactions Argo offers to me. Its exciting and engrossing story really impresses me lots.

It seems that every year a crop of Hollywood buzz movies are trying to reflect and refract the real world just around us. In an era full of all kinds of political battles, political films also abound just like the Zero Dark Thirty, Lincon. To be sure, Argo is as a member of those serious political films.

Argo just tells a real story that happens in Iran in 1979. That time, the Iranian Revolution was sweeping the whole country. Angry people invaded the United States Embassy and took embassy staffs as the hostages. In the chaos, six American luckily escaped from the embassy and tried to look for the protections from the Canadian ambassador. They hide in the home of the ambassador for months and dare not step outside for fear of capture.

In order to rescue the trapped Americans, CIA is taking this case. Within the terrible situation that they could not figure out any way to save the trappers, CIA have no choice but adopt the idea providing by Tony Mendez (staring by Ben Affleck): posing as a filmmaker to smuggle the six escaped Americans out of chaotic yet tense Iran. Without doubt, the rescue adventure is quite difficult and full of thrills, close escapes and killer dangerous. If you have already went to the movie house for seeing Argo, I pretty sure you are feeling anxious about the fate of those six Americans until the ending of the movie.

It is widely believe that Ben Affleck performs quite great jobs both on director and actor. Talking about Argo itself, this rapid pace movie keeps viewers on the edges of their seats and always wondering what will happen next. Besides, Argo is struggling to stay close to reality and pay more attention to the details. Personally, this is the brightest spot in Argo. Nowadays, it is rare to see that one movie is making big push to preserve the actuality and give the film a realistic feeling. So to speak, Ben Affleck's genius on director brings up the success of Argo. Of course, Affleck also shows his charm and perfect performance on the big screen.

At this point, if you are seeking for a movie that makes you feel nervous and thrilling, Argo is no doubt the solid choice. Facing such a great film mixing of thrills, comedy and reality, I do believe you won't want to miss out on November. So why not go to movie theatre now? Argo is sure to fit your bill!

Seemingly Samsung provides more options, however the storage space of HTC Droid DNA can be decided just by yourself if making most of the microSD feature.

Battery

In consideration of the battery power, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is significantly better than HTC Droid DNA's 2020 mAh battery, thanks to its compelling 3100mAh battery life. More talking time, stand-by time and video playback time will be embraced if you are an owner of Galaxy Note 2.

Price

The selling price of HTC Droid DNA is more appealing than Samsung Galaxy Note 2, which starts at $199. Galaxy Note 2 is priced at $299.

Release Date

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is already official and is believed to be available at the end of this month. The release date of HTC Droid DNA is still unknown. It is rumored that it will hit the shelves on December. 

So, different people, different taste. My choice is Galaxy Note 2 when seriously considering its 5.5-inch  ultra-large screen for a much better experience while watching videos and reading e-Books. However, if you are the one that only thinks over the price, just pick up HTC Droid DNA.
