Apple to launch new iPad 3 next month

Build Launched alongside the new Apple TV, the new iPad 3 looks much the same as the Apple iPad 2. The Home button remains, despite the big tease of the launch invite’s imagery, but where successive iThings of the past have been thinner, lighter and the proud owner of new monikers, Apple’s latest tablet is thicker (by 

0.6mm), heavier (by 50g) and has no identifying numbers or letters to its name.

Screen

Android aficionados will find 2048x1536 reasons not to buy, but a bitch of a screen ain’t one. Some 3.1 million pixels at 264ppi are now crammed into the 9.7-inch display – the leading Android tablets, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Asus Transformer Prime, come in at 1280x800.

Put the new iPad 3 side by side with the iPad 2 and the improvement is, quite visibly, clear. On the older iPad, apps in folders are just blobs of pixelated colour; on the new one you can almost make out text.

The Apple Retina Display smooths out edges and renders text pin-sharp so ebooks, websites and documents are so much easier on the eye. There’s better contrast, greater definition with still and moving images, and better colour saturation – an improvement of 44 per cent over the iPad 2, Apple reckons.

1080p HD

Another Retina reward can be seen with HD video now up to 1080p – yes, Apple is updating its iTunes movie catalogue to full HD – and stills up to 19 megapixels, though you’ll have to import the latter as the onboard camera only boasts five. Both look stunning in terms of reproduction clarity, mind.

Developers will also need to optimise their digital nuggets to take advantage of the display hike; until then, you may suffer some slight blur. Needless to say, we’re hard at work making T3: iPad Edition Retina-ready.

Performance

To power this next-gen display the new iPad needs extra processing grunt, and it’s provided by an improved dualcore chip, the A5X, with a quadcore GPU. While HD video and menu swiping don’t appear any smoother than before – they were already plenty smooth – gaming, as you’d anticipate, really benefits.

Playing the upcoming Infinity Blade: Dungeons, the polygonal-pushing experience is exceptional, with quality not far off what we’ve seen so far on the Sony PS Vita. There are multiple layers, complex shading, frenetic action and minimal slow down.

Camera

A lesser upgrade is the rear-facing iSight cam. Its f/2.4 aperture optics are pinched from the iPhone 4S, but with a five-meg resolution rather than eight. Images are better than the iPad 2’s but tablet cams are still hardly the last word in convenience – one-handed tap-to-focus is mission impossible – and results remain a 
way off dedicated compacts, especially indoors or in overcast conditions.

4G

One of the most exciting additions to the new iPad is 4G. Except, er, there is no 4G in the UK, so it’s actually 3.5G here. Or, erm, at least it is in some parts of the UK.

One thing’s for sure: in its current state, the third-gen iPad won’t work on true UK 4G networks when they arrive this year or next as the mobile frequencies supported by the iPad and the spectrums about to be auctioned by the government don’t match.

What the new iPad can take advantage of right now is HSPA+, which isn’t 4G but has a theoretical top download speed of 21Mbps.

In practice, we achieved around 4-6Mbps and 1-2Mbps upload on the 3 network. Browsing, downloading and streaming all seemed brisker than on iPad 2. It’s possible we’ll see a greater speed hike when 42Mbps dual-channel HSPA (DC-HSPA) hits the UK this summer.

A welcome addition is the iPhone-esque Personal Hotspot feature, although this will have to be activated by your provider. Bluetooth has also been upgraded to the low-power-consuming 4.0 standard, as used in the Nike FuelBand.

Connecting the iPad to other Bluetooth devices is still rather hit and miss, it must be said, Wi-Fi is, as you’d want it to be, still N standard and, as you might not want it to be, but there it is, single-band.

Battery

With all its muscle enhancements, you’d expect compromised battery life. Now, Apple claims the same figures as iPad 2, with ten hours of Wi-Fi web surfing, nine hours on a mobile network and ten hours of video or music. Although longevity is pretty good given the power and resolution boost you’re getting, we found some differences compared to the previous ’Pad.

In testing we noticed a quickening in battery drain with the new iPad when browsing, viewing and creating content when compared to iPad 2. Watching a two-hour HD movie on both devices reduced 10 per cent more of the third-gen’s battery, while overnight energy seepage clocked in at six per cent, compared to zero from iPad 2.

General, non-intensive use reduced the battery by about 10 per cent per hour, which is bang on Apple’s claimed drainage. Our major gripe, though, is that the new iPad still takes an excessive amount of time to reach full charge.

Apple iPhone 5s vs Samsung Galaxy S4

Apple iPhone 5s vs Samsung Galaxy S4: Build & features

The Apple iPhone used to be the king when it came to smartphone design. Sharp lines, glass, aluminium and a sense of sophistication surrounded Cupertino’s creation. However, no more is Apple the only company going all out for industrial design superiority, both the HTC One and Sony’s Xperia Z1 are marvels to gaze upon.

While it may sell in droves, you won’t find many people clamouring to appreciate the plastic driven design and slimy feel of the Samsung Galaxy S4. However, by using these materials, Samsung manages to keep the weight down to 130g and it’s only marginally thicker than the iPhone 5s.

Both the Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5s pack a hardware home button, though niftily the iPhone 5s builds in a fingerprint scanner so you can ditch the passwords on native Apple apps.

Looking to change the battery and add extra storage through a MicroSD card? You’ve only got one choice, the Galaxy S4.

LTE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS are features available across both devices, while NFC is still an iPhone no go.

Apple iPhone 5s vs Samsung Galaxy S4: Display

The first thing you will most likely see when you unpack your newest smartphone from its box is the touchscreen display that covers the front. Obviously, the size of the the display determines how big the phone is going to be, how well it will feel in the hand and sit in your pocket.

Apple has only ever used two screen-sizes for its iPhone range – a 3.5-inch version and an ever so slightly taller 4-incher. The iPhone 5s boasts, as we expected, the 4-inch version with a ‘Retina’ resolution of 640x1136 and a PPI of 326. Apple sets itself apart from the crowd by not constantly ramping up the screen sizes, something so common on Android handsets.

Samsung’s Galaxy S4 has a Full HD 1080x1920 display, measuring 5-inches - a whole inch bigger than Apple’s offering.

At first glance, it may seem like the iPhone 5s is lagging behind the competition with its screen resolution, and in many respects it is. However it’s not all about specs and we always felt the iPhone 5 had a brilliantly bright and vivid display, so we have very few qualms about the version on the 5s.

Apple iPhone 5s vs Samsung Galaxy S4: Operating System

The Samsung Galaxy S4 runs on Google’s Android software, though this has been heavily tweaked and customised. Samsung has overlaid it with the glossy TouchWiz, which adds a load of features that some find useful, but it doesn’t feel as sophisticated as stock Android. If you delve through the menus you’ll find apps for fitness, a useful one for controlling your television and more.

The iPhone 5s runs iOS7, the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system and it’s the first time we have seen a dramatic overhaul in the design language used. Gone are the glossy icons, fake leather and strange textures, replaced with transparency, pastel shades and a lot of new features. Quick access to the settings menu, something we’ve seen in Android for a while now, is now available through Control Center and all the native Apple apps have been given a new coat of paint.

Many have their personal preferences when it comes to their OS of choice, some love the freedom and customisability Android offers, while other prefers the huge amounts of quirky, unique apps and games found on Apple’s App Store. If you’ve never liked iOS before, 7 probably won’t change your mind.

Apple iPhone 5s vs Samsung Galaxy S4: Camera

Apple didn’t increase the megapixel count in the iPhone 5s this year, instead deciding to focus on the optics, along with improving the flash and image stabilisation. Megapixels don’t mean everything folks; the 8mp snapper on the iPhone 5 took fantastic shots, even when compared to the 12 megapixel version on the Samsung Galaxy S4. We’re salivating a little at the thought of what the iPhone 5s could now achieve thanks to the ƒ/2.2 aperture, true tone flash and quirky slow-mo video.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a load of added camera features, including the ability to take a photo with both the front and rear cameras at the same time, add sound to your snaps and overlay numerous filters. It did produce great snaps – with great colours and vivid detail, though sometimes the saturation was a little over.

Apple iPhone 5s vs Samsung Galaxy S4: Processor

Powering the latest addition to the iPhone family is a brand-new A7 chip, this is built on a completely new 64-bit architecture and paired with a separate M7 chip for all things motion related. As is typical with Apple, they don’t really delve down into the nitty gritty specs, though they do state this is the first 64-bit smartphone in existence.

OpenGL ES version 3.0 is also supported, improving the graphics for gaming.

Samsung however, has no problem spouting specs for the Galaxy S4, which are rather impressive indeed. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core chip, 2GB of RAM and an Adreno 320 graphics processing unit. If power is your thing, the GS4 has swathes of it.

Apple iPhone 5s vs Samsung Galaxy S4: Price

As each of these devices is a top of the line, flagship model with heaps of tech and features, you know they’re not going to come cheap. The iPhone 5s will set you back £549 (for the 16GB model) while The Samsung Galaxy S4 costs £550.

Google Nexus 5 to launch October 14th

Google is reportedly preparing to launch its next Nexus handset on October 14th

The Google Nexus 5 has already been at the centre of a number of leaks.

Last month, a Google employee was caught using the phone in a video to promote the launch of Android KitKat.

That was shortly followed by an FCC filing that confirmed the existence of the Nexus 5. The filing also revealed that the handset will feature Qi wireless charging, LTE support, NFC and Bluetooth 4.0.

Previous reports have suggested that the phone will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. While the FCC filing did not explicitly confirm that, it did strongly suggest that it will use that processor.

The documents also confirmed that the Nexus 5 will come with a 4.96-inch display and be 131.9mm long by 68.2mm wide. No depth was mentioned.

The phone is widely expected to be the first official outing of Android’s next version, KitKat.

It has been suspected for sometime that LG will be the company behind the next Nexus 5. Its LG G2 handset scored highly in reviews.

Though it is impossible to confirm, an October unveiling does make sense. It would be just over one year on from the launch of the Nexus 4.

Expect to see invitations go out during the first week of October if there is any truth behind the rumour.

Samsung Galaxy S5: Release date, price, specs, news

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is set to be one of the biggest smartphone launches of 2014 – even with little known at this point what Samsung even has planned

Samsung’s current flagship handset, the Samsung Galaxy S4 went on sale in April 2013. It came packed with a huge number of features and contributed to the opinion that Samsung, rather than Apple, is the main driver of innovation in the smartphone market today.

It also doesn’t hurt that Samsung sold an estimated 20 million Samsung Galaxy S4s within two months of it hitting shelves.

This is an article about the Samsung Galaxy S5. We’ll be rounding up all the latest news and rumours about the handset in the run up to its unveiling next year.

For other Samsung news, check out our Samsung News Hub.

Samsung Galaxy S5 specs

Relatively little is known about the Samsung Galaxy S5’s specs. However, one thing that we do know is that it will come with a 64-bit processor.

Speaking to Korea Times, Samsung’s co-CEO Shin Jong-Kyun has promised the company will match the processor found in Apple’s new iPhone 5s.

It’s probably not an idle threat either. While it hasn’t been confirmed yet by either party, it is widely suspected that Samsung manufactures the A7 processor that powers the iPhone 5s.

Aside from the processor, little is known at the moment. We'll update as soon as we know more.

Samsung Galaxy S5 looks

At the end of August, a rumour broke that claimed Samsung is looking to move away from using polycarbonate back covers for its phones.

According to ET News, the company has sent engineers to Vietnam to investigate the feasibility of making smartphones with aluminium and magnesium backs.

The report claimed that some figures at the Korean manufacturer are concerned that the recent introduction of a plastic-backed ‘budget’ iPhone – the iPhone 5c – could make buyers think all plastic-backed smartphones are budget devices.

Perhaps we can find a clue in the recent Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - on that handset Samsung has replaced the traditional polycarbonate with a new faux-leather, stitched rear cover.

Samsung Galaxy S5 operating system

Will Samsung do the unthinkable? Could it drop Android in favour of the Tizen mobile operating system – co-developed by itself and Intel?

A year ago, such a situation would have been unthinkable.

However, following a period of tension between Samsung and Android-developerGoogle earlier this year – including not a single mention of Android at the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4 – it isn’t as unfeasible as it once was.

Indeed, Samsung co-CEO Boo-Keun Yoon revealed that Samsung plans to connect all of its devices together with the new operating system. That includes its mobile phones.

While he stopped short of suggesting that the company will drop Android, it certainly won’t be easy reading for Google.

That said, we doubt Google would dump Android with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S5. What is more likely is that you’ll see two versions of the Samsung Galaxy S5 on sale: an Android-powered version and a Tizen-powered version.

Samsung Galaxy S5 camera

At the beginning of September, reports began emerging that Samsung is working on a slimline 16 megapixel smartphone camera with optical image stabiliser (OIS) technology.

At the time of writing, there is only one smartphone in Samsung’s range that comes with OIS, and that is the less-than-slimline Galaxy S4 Zoom.

According to GSMarena, who broke the story, the new lens has been designed to fit in its slimline range of smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy S5 release date

There has been no word – rumour or otherwise – about when we will be able to get our grubby little hands on the Samsung Galaxy S5.

However, Samsung is usually consistent when it comes to launching new models of its phones. As such, it is a pretty safe bet that Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S5 in March 2014.
