Tomorrow we have something new and exciting to show you. Stay tuned! #ExynosTomorrow pic.twitter.com/v5MKk5rhct — SamsungExynos (@SamsungExynos) July 9, 2014 As you may already know , Samsung fabricates their own mobile processors for their smartphones and tablets under the name "Exynos" after many years , the Exynos lineup is mostly used by Samsung for their Asia/Europe 3G models while they use the un-official industry standard Qualcomm Snapdragon processors for 4G versions . After unveiling their Dual-Quad (aka Octa core) Exynos 54xx series , the company is now ready to unveil its successor in the form of a "Octa core" Exynos 5433 , which is said to be the first Exynos processor series to join the 64Bit ARM club. 64Bit processors on mobile devices are not new , Intel has been working with their Intel Atom mobile processors for many years now , and last year Apple jump-started the 64bit processor race with the iPhone 5S and the new iPad's . Qualcomm also...

Google Play devices wern't successful as Google hoped them to be . The traditional handsets without custom interfaces were sold at original cost and the prices rarely dropped , and though it was technically a Nexus , the update schedule fell into the hands of the equipment manufacturer .The Google play edition phones however are still available , but some old models have been replaced as of today . The Sony Xperia ZU ,HTC One M7 and LG's GPad 8.3 are axed from Google's store while the 2013 Motorola Moto G google play edition is still kept alive . The Samsung Galaxy S4 Google play edition will be replaced by the S5 Google play edition once it arrives . The S5 GPE will join the ranks along side the HTC One M8 GPE and the Moto G in the Google Play store , but hopefully ,other OEM's will send their successors to the store once they are available Written by Rakitha for MasHD Article may be used in other blogs,but please be sure to link this article as a source GSMAre...

Yesterday , all of us saw some leaked pictures of the alleged "selfie" smartphone called the Sony Xperia C3 , Sony , who also tweeted about the phone being launched today kept true to its word by making the Xperia C3 official . The term selfie is a relatively modern term for the act of taking ones picture , although many modern smartphones have a front facing sensor , most cameras are of poor quality compared to the main camera at the back , Sony however has managed to make the art of selfie its main selling for the Xperia C3 , which is the first smartphone to be equiped with a front facing camera with its own LED flash and built in camera apps . The front sensor , which comes with a 80 degree wide angle lens has a sensor of 5MP and it comes with many bells and whistles in the form of downloadable apps which run in the camera interface some of these features are advanced versions of the AR effects found on the Xperia Z1/Z2 and are exclusive to the phone ,other apps includ...

Apple iPhone 6 rumors are all over the tech world ,and by now , most of you have some idea about the current rumors that state the existence of 2 iPhone models with a smaller 4.7"device and a 5.5" phablet model .Leaked panes of sapphire glass and prototype mockups have been around for a while , but now a new leak has stated that Apple is planning on giving the 4.7" iPhone 6 a 1800mAh battery and the 5.5" iPhone 6  ( also rumored to be named as the iPhone Air) a 2500 mAh one inside . The latest leak comes from a Chinese tech blog called IT168 .The Bigger batteries will surely give adequate power for the Apple's iPhone 6 dynamic- duo as they are prepared to launch with Apple's iOS 8 out of the box and improved hardware features such as Optical image stabilization (for the iPhone Air) ,high resolution displays and faster 64Bit Apple A8 processors in both models . The devices are already said to be in production and they will increase production thanks to a ne...

HTC has been collecting profits and reputation  in the Global smartphone market thanks to the HTC One M8 , which is one of the top smartphones of the year ,Although the recent quarter profits leveled the earlier chain of losses , HTC is determined in taking home that advantage by launching attractive handsets for "affordable" prices in Strategic regions such as Asia ,and with the new HTC Desire 616 , the company hopes to do just that . Priced at $240 , the phone at first thought looks rather expensive , but we have to keep in mind that the price is a conversion figure from converting 298 Singaporean dollars into US$ so taxes may be included . The Desire 616 is said to be available only in the Asian region so don't expect to see it popping into a network carrier in Europe or North Am. The phone has a 1.4Ghz Octacore Mediatek processor with 1GB RAM ,4GB of local storage with support for MicroSD card slot and a removable 2000mAh battery . The phone features HTC Sense 5.5...

Almost all of us agree that smartphones have made our lives a lot different from what it was a few years back , the rapid adaptation of smartphones happened because older "featurephones" were too dumb to do anything other than take calls and send texts , but sometimes , these older  primitive devices can be a lifesaver in a hostile environment where your modern smartphone won't last a day without running out of juice or breaking apart during the fall,well,  this is exactly what happened to Liu Quanming , a 70 year old hiker in Taiwan . The incident took place when Liu lost track of his hiking team and slipped down a mountain into a ravine , his only form of communication with the outside world was with his trusty 10 year old Nokia handset which also survived the drop .The 250 member search and rescue team searched his last seen position and then they decided to triangulate the phone's signal via cellular signal towers , after reaching the site , repetitive calling ...
