A recent leaked on Smartphones with OS Tizen re-emerged. This time is a Korean site to upload a Smartphone photo series named Samsung ZEQ9000. Smartphones are believed to be strong as the first Tizen Mobile circulated in the Korean market. Broadly speaking, the look of the phone resembles the Samsung Galaxy series lineup that carries android.
Tizen itself is an operating system developed by Samsung. Just as Android, Tizen also Linux-base, Project Tizen is actually a continuation of OS MeeGo that first was developed by Nokia and Intel. After Nokia ended the project has now been taken over by Samsung and renamed as Tizen.
Back to Samsung ZEQ9000 alleged first Tizen smartphone known as Zeke. Although the truth can not be ascertained, but a phone that carries the model number SM-Z9000 SM-Z9005 showing attractive user interface. Reporting from PhoneArena, Samsung Zeke using Tizen OS version 2.1 with a symmetrical appearance, in contrast to Samsung's TouchWiz style. This smartphone uses a screen measuring 4.8 inch 1280 × 720 pixel Super AMOLED manifold. While in the kitchen sector runway, Samsung Zeke pinned Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset that flank the Quad core Krait 400 processor, the collaboration is expected to result in speeds up to 2.2 GHz. Adreno 330 graphics processor and 2 GB of RAM also procured to sustain performance.
Unfortunately, there are no more details about the specifications of the camera and connectivity sector. The first Tizen smartphone is scheduled to go on sale in August 2014 olehSamsung, we'll wait.
Apple again obtain new patents. This time, electronics manufacturers bearing the Apple fruit was rewarded patent on a technology called "electronic device display module" by the Office of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
The technology, as reported by BGR, a screen is installed on the back side of the Apple MacBook laptop screen. In addition to load the Apple logo, the screen would later serve as a touchscreen at the same solar panels to collect electricity from sunlight.
So, there will be two screens, a conventional laptop displays in the usual places as well as an additional screen in the back that serves as a touchscreen and solar panels.
The screen doubles solar panels can be made with special glass materials are transparent so that light can reach the solar cells in series behind it. This glass can also display the logo, the LCD screen, and a capacitive touch sensor types. Other materials such as metals, ceramics, plastics and composites can also be used.
The issuance of a patent does not mean MacBook that the will come equipped with a touchscreen and will soon be solar panels. However, at least it has shown interest in the company's utilization of solar energy in electronic devices.
Later, analysts also predict that Apple will release the iPhone is equipped with sapphire crystal glass and made of solar panels.
The advantages
This device comes with various new advantages compared with previous-generation iPhone, ie in terms of the camera and also the processor.
1. 64-bit processors. iPhone 5S be called the world's first smartphone that comes in the form of a 64 bit processor chip Apple A7. Apple claims that this processor has a data processing and graphics performance two times faster than its predecessor, the Apple A6 on the iPhone 5.
Apple's also prepares the iOS 7 operating system following applications that are able to take advantage of 64-bit architecture of the iPhone 5S. The phone is also capable of running titles 32-bit software designed for its predecessor.
2. Companion processor to monitor the motion sensor. In addition to the main processor A7, Apple has also contributed to a processor companion named M7. His job is specifically to handle inputs from a variety of sensors on the iPhone, including the accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass.
This companion processor reduces the processing load on the main processor and open up the possibility of utilization by navigation applications and health, for example the Nike + Move.
3. Camera "iSight" new. The unit camera on the iPhone 5S has a sensor size is 15 percent larger than its predecessor. The larger sensor also increases the size of each photodiode (pixel), which in turn improves the quality of the resulting image.
This concept is similar to the technology "Ultrapixel" from HTC. However, Apple does not cut or increase the resolution of the camera, but still retains the figure at 8 megapixels.
Completeness is not less interesting is the two-color flash light that is able to automatically adjust the white balance of flash output in order to comply with the environmental light conditions.
In addition, there is also the ability to record slow-motion video with a frame rate of 120 FPS at 1280 x 720.
4. Fingerprint scanner. This one feature related to security. iPhone 5S able to take advantage of the user's fingerprint instead of a password to login, including the lockscreen to unlock the iPhone.
Services such as Apple's iTunes also supports user authentication through fingerprint scanning.
Fingerprint sensor integrated on the iPhone 5S in the "Home" on the front. Now the button is made of a material that is scratch-resistant sapphire, and is able to scan the user's fingerprint from various directions.
Deficiency
After knowing the advantages of these devices, it helps me discuss the shortcomings of the iPhone 5S. Here are 5 iPhone 5S weakness, as quoted from Cnet.
1. The screen size is not changed
When competitors were vying to bring a smart phone with landscape display as large as possible, Apple did not budge with the current size.
IPhone 5S screen size of the iPhone 5S unchanged, ie both 4 inches. The size is only half an inch bigger than the iPhone 4S.
2. Faster processor
Yes, with a faster processor would certainly make iPhone 5S more powerful. However, it was only a big role so that applications and games run more smoothly.
How about the other devices operational? Unfortunately, for most of the operations of the device, the processor does not contribute much.
In addition, because of the greater power and a doubling of transistors on a processor, it will consume a larger battery.
3. No increase battery life
Probably, most people do not need a faster processor, provided that the daily operations are fulfilled. Which is required by many of today's consumer is a larger battery capacity. Unfortunately, it is not accommodated in Apple's new iPhone.
4. No models with greater capacity
iPhone 5S currently only comes in capacities of 16, 32, and 64 GB. Unfortunately, he was not armed with a larger capacity than that, like 128 GB.
5. Not too many new innovations
Features of a fingerprint scanner on the iPhone 5S is getting the most attention from consumers. This happens because this is an innovation that is considered good.
Unfortunately, these innovations only come from the side of the feature alone. No other innovations that really make consumers feel amazed, like when the iPhone was launched for the first time.
Chromecast introduced by Google in late 2013. This product is basically a TV dongle that allows users to stream online video from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop to a television screen, connected over the same network.
Chromecast dongle connected to a TV through an HDMI connection, and getting resources from the USB port or AC power outlet. Google said that if the connection is HDMI 4.1 possessed, then Chromecast not require other resources.
Chromecast dimensions is quite small, such as Internet dongle. In the sales package, Google includes a power cable (mini-HDMI connection - USB), one HDMI adapter cable connector, charger, and manual.
Installation
In the installation, Chromecast is mounted on the TV and the HDMI connector USB or electrical outlet to get power. First connected, Chromecast will prompt the user to setup through a device that aspires to be used, such as a smartphone or laptop by visiting google.com / chromecast / setup and download apps for Mac, PC, or Android.
From there, users will be guided to install fairly easy. Users must connect Chromecast the existing WiFi network. If you want to pair it with a laptop, users must install the plug-in Google Chrome browser Cast in them.
Meanwhile, if you want to stream video, users can update the latest YouTube app, Netflix, or any other supported applications Chromecast such as Google Play Movies and Google Play Music.
Video streaming applications in the latest update has supported Chromecast. There are special icons for each application that can be activated if you want to stream video from any smartphone to a TV.
This is the excess, Google does not restrict users Chromecast using the same operating system in all devices. Android or iOS smartphone users alike can connect with Chromecast and enjoy video content on TV.
Through Chromecast, smartphone not a stream to the dongle. Rather, ruled dongle to run a video contained in the cloud. Because the users can still use a smartphone to any current streaming has begun.
Dongle is also not limited to one particular account streaming video. So all the devices connected to Chromecast, despite having different accounts, can still enjoy the video content on TV.
Video Playback
Videos that run through Chromecast depending on the Internet connection. Users can also select the video quality you want displayed when available choices, such as in YouTube. But unfortunately when tested with a laptop via a browser, the video quality is lower than it should be displayed.
In Chromecast also not provided a special interface to control video. It would be easier if all the videos combined into one, and the user can easily navigate and control the playback, such as control of play, stop, skip, or mute the audio. To do so at this time the user still has to open an application that is running on a smartphone, and control it from there.
When compared with similar applications, such as AirPlay contained in the video player integrated in iOS and OS X, Chromecast requires developers to create applications support one by one. This causes the current application is still limited and it took a long time to make it popular.
Security is also an obstacle, because anyone who is connected in a network, can send video to the TV. It may be that if there are fraudulent, they play the video in the middle of the video we are watching.
But overall, Chromecast brings a new experience watching video in TV. Google appreciate Chromecast at a price of 350 U.S. dollars. With a relatively cheap price of this user does not have to have a SmartTV feature if you want to enjoy YouTube videos on the big screen or NetFlix.
Conclusion
The advantages
+ Cheap
+ Models are compact dongle
+ Supports popular video applications
+ Is bound to a particular OS
The disadvantage
- Need external power source, unless it has an HDMI 4.1 connection
- No centralized access control video
- Support the application is still slightly
- Video quality is reduced when Tab Casting
- Security is open, anyone can access the network Chromecast origin in the same
