The least that can be said is, that the tester seem convinced the S4 Galaxy landed that wireless charger, to the point where he explains what appear to be to unnecessary luxury, always very convenient to use, to the point that you not back, the cord on his phone would charge. In fact, it has two schools: any accessories are those who displayed no interest will in this way charge, while the base is even plugged in, and who thinks that.

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Galaxy S3: the video comparison!

By Gabriel Manceau may 3, 2013

Our comparative video of Samsung Galaxy S4 overlooking the Galaxy S3 ! A year and a generation between them, but what is the technological gap between the two phones? That is the question, we will try to answer in our video comparison is the new top model from Samsung on the previous year's level against. Let the games begin!

The first, what that you are with this comparison between the S4 Galaxy and Galaxy S3 notice, is brought to the small change in the design. Actually, we are left with two almost identical smartphones in terms of the template as materials. The only way to distinguish them is the new placement of the photo sensor, Flash and speakers, as well as the various front end sensors. For the rest, there are very little changed, at least in appearance.

Once the screen lights up, you will notice that this is with more righteous than its older colors and brighter. Samsung is also managed a 5-inch screen in similar size on the Galaxy enter S3 hull, whereas the latter a 4.8-inch screen. The screen is therefore better impression, his definition of full HD 1080 p is not in vain, even if the difference is far from blatant.

In relation to the Android version, there are jelly bean 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 for the S4 and S3. I don't think that this plays a lot on performance during this comparison. Include Samsung's Touchwiz interface on both, although the new phone has a newer version. As regards the integrated browser, both are very good, with a slight edge of speed for the S4 and higher accuracy when zooming, the screen resolution is two times.

Video comparison: Galaxy vs Galaxy S3 S4

A turning point, however, shows the benchmark epic citadel in this comparison of the Galaxy Galaxy S3 S4. This simulation shows actually the graphics engine Unreal engine for mobile of alarming power the new Korean Smartphone, representing 59.1 FPS average with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels against only 41.3 FPS for the S3 has "only" 1280 x 720 pixel resolution.

Because it is essentially about the raw power, which lifts the S4 his groin. Its processor 1.9 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 shows its full power and directs the processor of the year of Exynos last in the Cabinet. An example which confirms with a score of 12 770 against 5601 under quadrant. Even though it is impressive on paper, this note is little use and when the new model Galaxy shows a little stronger on the opening and closing of applications, the S3 is no longer available.

I would like to remind you that you will find this comparison in our report on the Samsung Galaxy S4! I leave you to your own opinion to make by watching our video comparison suite. don't leave your opinion in the comments hesitation or come speak in our Samsung Galaxy S4-Forum!

Vonage Mobile adds video calling for Android 2.3 and up

Vonage is releasing an update to both its Android and iOS apps today to offer users completely free video calling over both Wifi and mobile data. The video calls are of course locked to only being available between two Vonage users, but will support some pretty handy features. You can choose to display either your front or rear camera, which can let you show off what is going on around you. While in a call you can also seamlessly switch between a video and just audio, something that isn't simply done on most video calling solutions.

This puts Vonage more squarely in the camp of services like Skype, which seem to dominate the space currently. The app says it hasn't yet been updated, but when we took a look the feature seems to be live now. So if you're a Vonage user, go grab your update. Those who haven't yet given Vonage a try may now be compelled to give it a shot as well.

Samsung Galaxy S4: the story of the designs in video

The design of the Galaxy-S4. This is something interesting and the already much ink. And not since the announcement of the Smartphone, but a bit before when Samsung started, the apology of the plastic more or less explicitly confirmed that iron of the Lance are next to him also in plastic dressed. This was followed by a long controversy over the legitimacy of the choice of this material. That serves a controversy, HTC under his HTC in any case well a last high-end Smartphone, the chassis from aluminium or just Apple, use the new way to continue the so-called "superiority" of the iPhone to Android competitors has seen.

The fact remains that despite his habit of plastic, Samsung Galaxy S4 shows record pre-orders and probably is one of the best-selling models by the year 2013. Samsung table on estimated sales around 10 million units at the start. See, like plastic, it's fantastic!

And it is precisely in this context that in the last episode of his series, the history of design, Samsung says all stages of design of the design of the Galaxy S4 you, in detail. We learn that the mouth (in cases, they have not understood that yet!), that the device, and more an evolution than a revolution, but also an evolution "as you did when had never seen before.

The history of the design of the Galaxy-S4 on video.

So and we learn from it is the designers, the design of the S4 Galaxy expensive items in his heart, the natural look in particular at the level of its rear cover, here compared to a "sparkling gem in the darkness or countless stars twinkle in the sky the night." short, if you have not their skills of designers, you might be subject for their poetic soul.
