The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is official. And it looks pretty damn
good. Coming in nine colours, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is radical
re-thinking of Samsung’s traditional Note device. It’s also got a larger
display, and all the usual Samsung software fluff.
Introducing the Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Following the official launch on Wednesday, Samsung has now published
a promo video to its YouTube channel detailing the Samsung Galaxy Note 3
in all its glory.
In the video you’re treated to “real world” examples of the Note 3 in
action, as well as some of its new features – Air Command, a new S-Pen
attribute, is a particular favourite of ours.
Initial reactions to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 seem positive. KYM’s
Paul Briden – now well into day three of his IFA 2013 saga – was very
impressed by the handset, lauding Samsung’s choice of build materials
and new S-Pen functionality.
“Despite having a daft name suggesting remote control of an aircraft
carrier, its similar to Air Gesture in that you bring up a radial
control wheel for various S-Pen functions, simply by hovering the pen
and tapping the button. It works really well and I’d love to see more
features like this in future iterations,” said Paul in his first look.

The 5.7-inch Full HD 1080p Super AMOLED
display is larger than previous versions, but Samsung says the savings
it has made with the overall proportions of the device mean that it
doesn’t necessarily feel any bigger.
The handset runs Android
4.3 out the box and features 3GB of RAM. Multitasking has also been
improved allowing users to run two applications at once side-by-side.
During the Note 3's launch, Samsung execs showed off two ChatOn
conversation bubbles running simultaneously side-by-side.
'Users can also run one application in two windows at the same
time. For instance, users can read the news in one browser while
conducting a web search in another, or send an instant message through
ChatON to a friend while reading a message from another friend,' said
Samsung.'Using Drag and Drop mode
within the new Multi Window, you can easily drag and drop content such
as a text or image from one window to the other in an instant.'
Samsung has fitted a larger 3200mAh batter (200mAh more than the Sony Xperia Z1), so battery life should be exemplarily.
Perhaps most startlingly Samsung has dropped the plastics. Instead
the Samsung Galaxy Note 3’s back panel is finished in leather, complete
with stitching – how very Gordon Gecko of you, Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3: It's not real leather!
But don't worry all you vegans out there, it's not real leather.
Instead, Samsung has opted for a something we like to refer to as
"pleather" – it's a composite material that looks like leather and feels
like leather but doesn't quite smell like leather. We don't know
for certain but we'd wager it is the same stuff that cheap trainers and
football boots are made out of. Either way, Samsung assures us that it
is perfectly suitable for vegans and that it also wipes clean very
easily. Excellent stuff.
There’s a 13-megapixel snapper on the back and a 2-megapixel round
front. With regards to connectivity you have: LTE, HSPA+, WiFi
a/b/g/n/ac, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, an infrared blaster for using the Note 3 as a universal remote, MHL 2.0, and GPS/GLONASS.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will get a release date on September 25.
Samsung has also done plenty of work to the S-Pen. The stylus is now more a part of the Galaxy Note 3 than ever before.
‘The S-Pen is now the key that unlocks all the power, functionality and features of the Galaxy Note 3.’
Air Command – hold the S-Pen on the Galaxy Note 3’s display and it
brings up five Quick Commands in a fan-type menu. The idea here is to
allow for quick note taking from anywhere in the Galaxy Note 3’s UX.
But it's not just Air Command. No, Samsung also detailed the following new attributes of its S-Pen at launch:
Action Memo allows users to handwrite a note and
automatically execute a function or convert that handwritten information
into formatted content. Action Memo can instantly initiate a call, add
to contacts, look up an address on a map, search the web, save a task to
a to-do list, and more
Scrapbook enables users to organise or track down
content and information from various sources including the web, YouTube
and Gallery in one place so that users can easily look back at collected
content all at once. When consumers save content for future use,
Scrapbook also collects source material or URLs allowing them to easily
refer back to the original source
The Screen Write feature captures the full screen image
of the current page on the device and allows users to write comments or
additional information onto the captured image
S Finder allows users to expansively search for content
on their device regardless of the type. By putting in keywords or
filters such as date, location and content type, users can search
related documents, events, communication threads, and even the Help page
– all in one place. In addition, users can also search for hand-written
content in their Notes and memo applications, as well as symbols and
formulas
Pen Window allows users to use the S Pen not only for
drawing sketches or writing notes, but now also for opening a small
application window for a true multitasking experience. Simply by drawing
a window of any size, anywhere on the screen, users can easily and
quickly open another application window such as YouTube, calculator or
Browser without pausing current activity on the screen
In case you missed it earlier, here's your chance to re-watch the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3:
“We introduced the original Galaxy Note in 2011 and launched a whole
new smart device category. The undeniable success of the Galaxy Note
strengthened our conviction that consumers want higher quality features
for smart devices and they want those new features to make their lives
better,” said JK Shin, CEO and President of IT & Mobile Division at
Samsung Electronics.
“Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a powerful, original approach that enables
users to tell the stories of their lives through dynamic and seamless
expressions of their passions across work, play and life experiences.
With a simple click of the S Pen button, users can unlock opportunities
for self-expression, features that transform everyday activities into
extraordinary events and access to new experiences delivered to them on
Note 3’s larger screen”.
Locked up like Fort Knox
Keen to continue its growing presence in the global BYOD market
space, Samsung has outfitted the Galaxy Note 3 with its Enterprise-grade
KNOX software. Previously controlled by BlackBerry, the enterprise
space is now wide open and both Apple and Samsung have made strong gains
in the space during the past 12 months or so.
We're six months down the road from our last "best Android phones" roundup, and the smartphone landscape has altered dramatically. Back in December we crowned the Samsung Galaxy S3 king of all Android phones, on account of its responsiveness, broad availability and excellent performance across the board. A generation later, the Android space is dominated by two new heavyweights -- the Galaxy S4and HTC One, with other contenders including the Xperia Z and ZL from Sony and LG's Nexus 4.
In mid-2013, buttery-smooth performance, beautiful screens, high-quality cameras, 4G LTE connectivity and Jelly Bean out of the box come as standard at the high-end. Competition is more fierce than ever, and that's resulted in some of the best Android hardware we've ever seen.
But there can be only one winner. Join us after the break to find out which phone takes the prize.
The best of the best - HTC One
We really have reached the point where the top of the Android smartphone market is blanketed by some highly impressive devices. It's tough to go wrong. There's something for everyone, be it form factor or features or gimmicks and gizmos. But for our money, there's currently no better phone available than theHTC One.
There's a lot to like here. The (mostly) all-aluminum body looks and feels more sophisticated than a plastic phone, and the gentle curve fits the hand nicely. While we've still got our quibbles with the Sense user interface, Sense 5 is the most stylish version yet, and most important is that it doesn't exhibit the lag that we've seen in the Samsung Galaxy S4.
The front-facing stereo speakers change the way you experience music and videos on a smartphone. Games and movies are much more immersive and are a downright pleasure to play and listen to. There are a few times when the speakers may be too loud, but there are many more times when you're amazed you're getting that sort of sound from a smartphone.
HTC's camera also brought forth a bit of a paradigm shift. It's not the best all-around camera -- it suffers from contrast issues, and if you need something with a higher total resolution for enlarging pictures, you'll need to look elsewhere. But the introduction of Zoes -- the 3-second video clips -- and the introduction of automatically composed Video Highlights are something that nobody else is doing, and they make up for a lackluster camera application.
The HTC One also has been released on three of the four major U.S. carriers, as well as seeing wide availability worldwide -- and we're expecting Verizon to get its own variant this year as well.
In the months we've been using the HTC One, it's continuously caught the eyes of those around us and continued to impress us with its performance -- and for that it ranks as our best smartphone for first part of 2013.
The runner-up - Samsung Galaxy S4
If ever there was a phone to beat, it was this one. Samsung took everything that was good in the Galaxy S3 and made it better in its successor, the Galaxy S4.
Well, maybe not quite everything. The plastic body remains a turn-off for many, and it's certainly not as chic as the aluminum HTC One. It's also lost a bit of the curve of the Galaxy S3. And while Samsung has managed to squeeze a 5-inch display into the same size as the slightly smaller Galaxy S3, the IPS or Super LCD displays on other phones perform better in sunlight and seems to better handle shifts in brightness. The TouchWiz user interface has been refined a bit, but it's still flat in places and doesn't match the sophistication of other UIs.
Samsung's camera, however, remains the best in the business, as far as everyday use is concerned. It's filled with features, and the camera app itself is a joy to use, having been adapted from the high-endSamsung Galaxy Camera. You might not use features like the animated gif creator every day, but they're fun to have, even if they're not all that innovative.
But what landed the Galaxy S4 as our No. 2 is the laggy user interface -- we've experienced delays and stutters on a number of versions of the phone -- as well as the anemic storage situation. Samsung's 16-gigabyte version of the GS4 only has about 9 gigabytes of storage available to the end user. And while Samsung likes to say you can add another 64 gigabytes with a microSD card, that's a different kind of storage. Good luck keeping your larger games and apps on there. The sin isn't so much that Samsung's using all that space for the hundreds of features on the phone -- and it's got some really good preloaded apps and settings. The sin is that in 2013, that sort of deceptive marking and, for many, a lack of larger storage options, is unacceptable.
Would we recommend someone buy the Galaxy S4, which is available on just about every carrier on Earth? Absolutely. It just might not be the first phone we suggest.
The best oversized phone - LG Optimus G Pro
The other South Korean manufacturer -- LG -- has a bit of a dark horse on its hands with the Optimus G Pro. It's a 5.5-inch phone -- in the same class as the wildly popular Samsung Galaxy Note 2, but without the pen input. It also improves on the Note with a higher-resolution display, updated internals and a slightly narrower body.
LG's user interface still leaves a bit to be desired, but it's also come a long way in a short time. The Optimus G Pro has a more-than-capable camera, and it's the first outside of the Nexus line to sport the Photosphere feature.
Hamstringing the Optimus G Pro, however, is availability. In the United States, it's only available on AT&T, and it's seen limited release worldwide as well, though that's beginning to change. We're also expecting Samsung to at least match the Optimus G Pro's specs and features later this year. But for now, it's a pleasant addition to the oversized phone market.

The new flagship "Pro Series" delivers write speeds of up to 20 MB/s (microSD) and 40 MB/s (SD), as well as read speeds of up to 70 MB/s (microSD) and 80 MB/s (SD). According to Samsung, the memory cards are rated shock proof at up to 3,200 lbs and magnet proof up to 10,000 gauss.
The SD Pro Series is available in 16, 32 and 64 GB capacities and carries suggested retail pricing of $70, $120, and $240. The same pricing applies to the microSD Pro Series, but Samsung also offers an 8 GB version that sells for $40.
The company also updated its mid-range Extreme Speed series (up to 48 MB/s read and write speeds), which is priced from $23 for a 8 GB cards to $75 for 32 GB versions. The mainstream series (up to 24 MB/s read and write speeds) starts at $13 for 4GB cards and lands at $70 for the 32 GB models.
Samsung told The Korea Times on Monday that it will end its LCD panel supply relationship with Apple as of next year. That’s according to a “senior Samsung source” who declined to be identified, citing insufficient margins owing to Apple’s supply pricing strategy. Samsung’s role in Apple’s LCD supply chain has dwindled, with the Korean company reportedly cut out of iPad mini production, but Samsung’s decision to pull the plug may have been a pre-emptive strike by the parts manufacturer owing to a declining relationship between the two.
Samsung is said to be fielding more orders from its consumer electronics division, as well as from Apple competitor Amazon, in volumes that could make up for the loss of Apple as an LCD component customer. Apple was Samsung’s top customer according to NPD DisplaySearch for the first half of the year, but Apple began cutting its LCD orders back in September and was reportedly shifting order volumes to LG and Sharp, as ongoing patent disputes worsened.
Pricing on Apple’s latest iPad display had caused Samsung to earn only half as much per pixel on its production compared to previous models, so narrowing margins clearly had an impact on the decision, but this also can’t help but look like a case of Samsung ending a relationship that was already on the rocks to begin with. Apple was already clearly trying to reduce its reliance on its rival’s component supplier arm, as indicated by changes to the way it designs its processor andsources RAM and NAND flash chips, but this may accelerate Apple’s intended timeline.
Apple is a massive customer of LCD panels, and is set to become an even more demanding customer with the impending probable launch of the iPad mini. Earlier, there were concerns about whether or not Samsung’s display supplier competition could produce adequate volumes to satisfy its needs, butSharp seems to have recently gotten its act together, and others like Sony have reportedly joined Apple’s stable of potential supply sources.
The question will be whether or not the timeline Samsung gave of next year will give Apple enough time to stabilize its alternate source. Still, it looks like both have been preparing for this moment for a while, so we could see each walk away relatively unscathed.
Samsung is reporting a record quarterly profit of $7.3 billion in earnings guidance ahead of its full Q3 report.Reuters notes the figure is nearly double the amount of profit the Korean electronics giant made in Q3 2011, bolstered by strong sales of its Galaxy range of smartphones and high end TVs.
Samsung also continues to be a key component provider for Apple but, with DRAM chip prices declining, its mobile division is doing the heavy lifting — accounting for around two-thirds of its total profit in Q3, according to the Reuters report.
The news agency notes that most analysts expect Samsung’s run of four record quarters to come to an end in Q4 when Samsung ramps up marketing costs to combat rival smartphones such as Apple’s iPhone 5 in the battle for holiday sales. Another factor expected to eat into Samsung’s profits is that record profits will trigger higher performance-related payouts to some staff. The company is expecting record profit of 28 trillion won ($25 billion) this year.
Samsung, which has a market cap of around $183 billion, expects profits at its mobile division to have more than doubled in Q3 — to around 5 trillion won — as smartphone shipments exceed 58 million, including up to 20 million unit sales of its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S III. Operating profit is estimated to have jumped 91 percent to 8.1 trillion won from the year ago period — a jump which Reuters notes beats an average forecast of 7.6 trillion won in its survey of 16 analysts. Q3 revenue is estimated at 52 trillion won, in line with forecasts.
Samsung will report audited results for its Q3 financial quarter on October 26.
We have posted about hidden secret codes for Chinese mobile phones in past and now its turn of Google Android mobile phones.
Recently I got a Google Android mobile phone "Samsung Galaxy I7500". While I'm loving playing with it, I also found some interesting secret codes which can enable/disable lots of hidden settings in the mobile phone. These codes can also show many useful information about the phone.

Microsoft tried making its Windows 8 tablets more convenient by introducing a Touch Cover that includes a built-in keyboard, but other manufacturers hope you want even more traditional laptop trappings with your new Windows 8 slate. While a number have teased so-called hybrid or convertible models -- which usually consist of a detachable or hinged tablet and a traditional laptop keyboard -- it's only in recent weeks that they have started firming release plans.
First, Lenovo confirmed a couple of weeks ago that it's introduing the IdeaPad Yoga convertible device for both Windows 8 and Windows RT flavors. Now, Samsung has plastered its Facebook page with an image of what appears to be its Series 5 Hybrid PC with a tagline that implies that more details will be revealed this week at the IFA 2012 trade show starting this Wednesday in Berlin.
Whereas the Yoga uses a 360-degree hinged design that folds the tablet back onto the keyboard section, the Series 5 Hybrid PC lets you detach the tablet and then reattach it via a magnetic dock. According to Engadget, it will possess a screen size of about 11 inches, run on an Intel processor -- meaning that it will use the "full version" of Windows 8 (i.e., no ARM-based Windows RT version) -- and include a stylus like the one used on the recently released Galaxy Note 10.1.
Whether these convergence devices will actually sell remains to be seen, and there's plenty of skepticism about the future success of Windows 8 hybrid portables (including from ZDNet's own Larry Dignan). We already know that tablets running the full version of Windows 8 will sell for several hundred dollars, and adding hinges and magnetic docks will only raise the sticker price on convertible models. Wil there be enough convenience in the hybrid devices to make them worth the extra cost?
The Samsung Series 700 tablet will be coming soon, and when it does, it will have Windows 7 on-board. But Samsung likes to get products into developers' hands, as evidenced by its Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Chromebook giveaways to attendees at Google's I/O developers conference. Microsoft's new flagship gets no less royal of a treatment, with each of the 5,000 attendees of Microsoft's BUILD conference getting a a 700T Windows Developer Preview tablet PC and Bluetooth keyboard combo. Unlike the Galaxy Tab and Chromebook, though, this special version is by no means representative of a shipping product—Windows 8 is in way too early a stage for that.
Rather than attempt to outright review this mythical piece of hardware, I'm going to instead identify five things each that I like and don't like about it, as configured with the developers' preview of Windows 8. The bottom line is that the future of Windows on a tablet is looking up, with the coming of Windows 8, but Microsoft and hardware manufacturers will both have their work cut out for them to make Windows 8 appeal to consumers ready to open their wallet for an iPad.
