Nokia Lumia 920 Shuts Samsung Galaxy S4 Up- The Shutter Stabilization Story Leaves Samsung High But Dry

I have been waiting to announce my grand buy this year. No, I do not mean the Samsung Grand. I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 in mind. Before I go gaga over its sexy physique, too-die-for features, its beamer of a display—I am a tad let down with its shutter lacking stability. While admitting that I love the shutter’s 13-MP tag that brings my clicks to life, shaky hands at times do mar my mod. But why could the Galaxy S4 not have an optical image stabilizer? In a lance war with the Nokia Lumia 920, my buy bows down just because of its shutter story. A video doing the rounds on the web, shows both smarties tugged on to a remote controlled gaming car, the snaps from both Nokia and Samsung prodigies left me in no doubt as to who wears the crown. While shelling a decently lump bill [+more]

They’re among the hottest devices out in the market this time of the year, and needless to say, they’re both really impressive. They may primarily be different, one being a formidable competition in the tightly contested tablet arena, and the other a phablet – having created a category of its own. But, given that the iPad Mini and the Galaxy Note II are among the best creations of the two major, tech rivals, you can see why we decided to pit one against the other. So let’s dive in to see their similarities and differences. The looks: This is the first thing that catches your eye about any gadget, so we decided to start from the outside and work our way in.

samsung vs apple (2)

  The ongoing patent war between Samsung and Apple may come to halt. The US District Judge Lucy Koh asked for both the giants to withdraw their weapons and hail peace.  The recent developments suggested that the judge would give her decisions in favor of Samsung but it seems the decision is not coming anytime soon. “I think it’s time for global peace,” US District Court Judge Lucy Koh said after legal teams from Apple and Samsung dueled for hours over post-verdict motions in her courtroom in the Silicon Valley city of San Jose. “Let me hear if there is anything the court can do,” she continued. “It would be good for consumers; good for the industry and good for the parties.” In a statement from Samsung Charles Verhoeven, it is clear that South Korean giant was in mood in negotiating with Apple but it was Apple who was not [+more]

Sony-Xperia-S-vs-Xperia-SL

Sony launched an updated version of the Xperia S, and called it the Xperia SL, quite recently. It’s been a rather quiet launch, and not without reason, however. While the phone definitely features an update over the Xperia S, not much has changed, so we can’t really call it a definite upgrade – it’s more of a replacement offering. But let’s take a closer look at the differences (and the similarities) between these two smartphones. What has changed?: The first noticeable difference is in the OS. The Xperia SL has received an upgrade and runs on Android 4.0 or ICS, while the Xperia S still ships with Android 2.3 or Gingerbread. The Xperia SL’s also got a more a powerful processor, a dual-core 1.7 GHz processor, as opposed to the dual-core 1.5 GHz processor within the Xperia S. The Android update makes the Xperia SL more power efficient, and even [+more]

  The latest to come out in the Tablet market is the Surface and the iPad mini. Both the Tablets have their advantage and disadvantages. Apple has already gained popularity in the Tablet market, thanks to the soaring sales of iPad. Microsoft Surface has the latest operating system which has been designed to work on multiple platforms. According to an analyst the worst nightmare of Windows 8 Surface can be iPad mini. As per a report on Cnet, Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu states that the iPad mini will cause major agitation for the competition that runs on the Windows 8 platform. In an investor’s note he states,“We continue to believe iPad Mini is the competition’s worst nightmare and will likely slow down adoption of competitor tablets. In particular, we believe this could end up being a very tough holiday season for Windows 8.”   Windows 8 Surface has been exorbitantly [+more]

Microsoft Surface Vs Apple iPad: The Tablet Battle Reaches Its Peak

By   |  Tech Oh! Mania, Tech Wars, The Wizard of Widget  |  
ipad vs surface

T Looks like the iPad is facing stiff competition from the many other alternatives available in the tablet market. Apple finally conceded that iPad sales in the fourth quarter have slowed down, and the rising costs could also offset the profits from sales. Apple recently launched the iPad Mini and it’s too soon to tell if it can turn the situation around in the company’s favor. Even its competitor, Amazon, announced a loss of $28 million during the third quarter, possibly due to its low pricing of the Kindle Fire HD tablet. In these troubled times for tablets, Microsoft finally made its Surface tablet available to consumers, and the battle among tablets just got heated up all over again. While analysts predict that its high price could be a deterrent, Microsoft is optimistic that the brand new interface could find many takers, and possibly pull customers off competing products like [+more]

Microsoft Surface vs. Apple iPad: Cooler Things we want to see in the Surface

    If the Surface tablet is all about beating archrival Apple at its own game, and taking over the tablet game, here’s a few really cool features Microsoft could put into its brand new venture to make it a surefire iPad killer. Of course, it’s not going to be an easy task to overthrow a product that has been reigning supreme in the market ever since its launch, especially not with a brand new entrant into what is slowly turning into a pretty crowded market. But, Microsoft does have its own advantages that it can leverage for this to happen. Develop more apps, and fast: Microsoft may be starting afresh with Windows 8 and Windows RT, but that shouldn’t hold it back in producing many more apps and playing catch-up with Apple. iOS has been around for a while now, giving the iPad an upper hand (for now) with [+more]

The rumors expecting Apple to launch the 13-inch MacBook Pro [+more]
