Samsung Galaxy S3 chimes for iPhone 5


Stakes are running high as the Samsung Galaxy S3 (III) approaches its release. The most talked about aspect being 4.6 inch or a larger screen size with 720x1,280 pixels crammed in – at par with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

If Korean news sources are to be believed, the panel might not be same as on the Nexus – the Samsung Galaxy S3 will sport a Super AMOLED Plus display. The bottom line is that the S3 will have a screen technology that will be crispier than the Galaxy Nexus.

Those who were speculating a 3D display, Samsung has definitely played spoilsport by suggesting that 3D is still a no-go for the Galaxy. Tech lovers are, however, keeping their eyes fixed on the specs of the flagship S3 - in the hope that it will set Apple to pause prior to the launch of the much hyped iPhone 5.

As a flagship model, we can expect the Samsung Galaxy S3 packing in some extra punches against the specs of the iPhone 5. Given the success Galaxy S2 has enjoyed, take it a little easy on your think tank and do not expect specs that are too extreme. 

Well…just in case, you misinterpret us, we do remember what Samsung stated last year – that it would launch hardware with flexible OLED (FOLED) in 2012. OLEDs being slimmer than traditional displays and this handset as it suggests, is all screen, we can expect some off the wall options.

Loaded with the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, it remains to be seen what’s up Samsung’s sleeve this time – given the fact that Android 4.0 has features like easy screen grabs and resizeable widgets.  Feature-wise, it’s definitely going to give a run for the money. 

Probing the insides, the Galaxy S3 is rumoured as Samsung's quad-core ARM A9-based Exynos 4212 chipset, clocked at 1.8GHz – that makes it twice as fast as the iPhone 4S. This syncs with Samsung claim of immense speed boosts on graphics and at the same time promising to be easy on the battery.

 Preorder benchmark results by unspecified sources however claim that the processor clocked at 1.4GHz. 

Nonetheless, with four cores and 2GB of RAM, the Galaxy S3 will show off some robust multi-tasking power. Together with 32GB of storage, the S3 should be capable of powerhouse performance, good enough to throw off some laptops off the cliff! Now, that’s something we too are keeping our fingers crossed.

If you are shutter-happy, there is something to cheer about. There’s likely to be a 12-MP rear camera – that’s 4-megapixels higher than the Samsung Galaxy S2. Samsung might equip the handset with a 1/2.3 inch sensor and that’s much bigger than the sensor on the iPhone 4S. Of course, it won’t replace your DSLR, but it sure will come in handy in low light situations. More so, if it comes with dual flash. With Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich’s picture taking and easy editing capabilities, we have here quite a rival. 

From what we understand, here’s what could be the specs of the Samsung Galaxy S3:



    Styled like the Galaxy Nexus

    4.6 – 4.8-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen

    720x1,280-pixel - 1,920x1,080-pixel screen resolution

    1.5GHz – 1.8GHz chip with 2GB RAM for flawless performance

    Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with TouchWiz skin

    12-megapixel rear camera with high ISO feature

Supply Chain Management: All You Need to Know

  Supply Chain for the Common Man The COVID-19 pandemic not only brought infections of unprecedented proportions, but it also brought to fore some business functions that we were blissfully unaware of, until now. Supply Chain — exactly what many people have been asking and looking up on search engines. The answer had to be something that people can relate. But let me ask a question instead — Is there something you wanted to buy, but can’t find it in the market? The answer every time would be a resounding “yes.” Supply chains are what brings a product from the point of assembly or manufacturing to the end user. And what happens from start to end is what supply chain management is all about. Examples Where Supply Chain Management is Utilized You are not here for bookish definitions. True. Neither is supply chain management contained anymore in simple computer programs or on-premise legacy ERP software. Supply chains have been through evolutionary changes in the past few years. ...

High megapixel point-and-shoot camera vs. low-end DSLR

Fully automatic sounds too good. Just hit the shutter release and you are done. Your point-and-shoot camera does it all for you. The best thing about these cameras is also their weak point. It takes all the control off your hands. The output is controlled by the camera. DSLRs on the other hand give you all the control you want. You are in charge of the output as well. However, set the control to AUTO and hand it to your 10-year old. The job is still done.  So, which one's better?  Technically, DSLRs are the best. You can customize the easy-to-use buttons and focus where you want to. Change the lens to meet your requirement, and you call it an upgrade. Point-and-shoot cameras have a fixed lens and they really are no match for the optically superior DSLR lenses.  Are all point-and-shoot cameras really bad?   That isn't true either! When photgraphy skills are questionable, point-and-shoot cameras come in really handy. They offer speed to the user. Ease of use. Easy to...

HP Mini 110 Series 110-3733TU Review

Typing, handling and the physicality are great on this one from the HP Mini stable in the 110 series . Well, what else are you looking for? It's a netbook and means and works exactly as what the primary specifications say. Speed Processor remains the same - Intel Atom Dual Core 1.66 GHz, but the 2GB RAM with a upped 1333MHz one, so easily outperforms others in the class. Not that you should make it your primary PC or depend on it for all your computing needs. Let's not touch on the specification, they are everywhere on the Internet. I'll just write what I came across while using the HP 110-3733TU. If I buy it, the first thing I'll do is get rid of the nursery standard OS and get something which is easy on the resources. Read on, I'll tell you why. For those of who would want, as a result of budget constraint, to make the netbook do your photo-editing jobs or the DSLR slingers, here's the verdict. You won't be able to run the latest Photoshop suites. The mi...
