First Impressions: Samsung Galaxy Note 5. The Next Big Thing, Or Is It?
I have been an ardent supporter of the Samsung Galaxy Note since its introduction in 2011. At that time, most smartphones had a sub 5-inch screen, so the original Galaxy Note was a departure from the norm. It was not the first giant screened phone, but it was the device that popularized the segment and gave it the “Phablet” moniker. Many of Samsung’s competitors as well as technology bloggers ridiculed the size of the device.
Can Android Save BlackBerry?
Rumor has it that BlackBerry is going to make an Android smartphone called Venice. The purported device will feature a 5.4-inch display with QHD screen resolution. The handset will be powered by a 64-bit, hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor running at 1.8 GHz and have 3 GB of RAM.
Hangouts 4.0 Arrives For Android
A little over a month ago iOS got a new and redesigned Hangouts 4.0 update. On Monday August 10th, Google released a similar upgrade for Android. The new Hangouts sports a new design, improved speed, and other features. Some Android fan boys may ask why IOS got the update before Google's own OS. My two cents; there are two separate teams within Google doing Android and iOS app development, and the iOS team has a much smaller number of devices to test on.
