Last month the Chinese company Huawei had introduced new models of its phones, stock P8 and P8 respectively Max.
And now the company has become the official model of "light" of this line, which is said to have been made public the cost but also the specifics of the device.

Rather it comes to P8 Huawei Lite model, which was introduced at an event called Premium South East Asia (SEA) in Bangkok.

It will be the screen size of 5 "at 1,280 x 720 pixels, 64-bit processor Kirin HiSilicon 620 in 1.5GHz SoC with 2GB of RAM and 16GB internal memory.

The phone offers the possibility of insertion of two sim cards, but also the expansion of interior space for microSD port.

Among the other will be the main camera with 13MP, 5MP camera with front, 4G LTE network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1 LE, NFC and Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.

Another confirmation, Windows 10 RTM will debut in July

During April, a statement of the chief executive of AMD, Lisa Su, made headlines stating that Windows 10 will reach RTM status (Release To manufacturesã) at the end of July. This attitude is reinforced by wzór, Russian portal that many times has shed light on real time information prior to their publication.

But why and how could this be true? Microsoft must think along with manufacturers of computers and laptops are being prepared for the autumn season where even start school activity. Microsoft is fighting in September along with higher sales that accompany this season will arrive even Windows 10 in the hands of consumers.

Chinese company, Huawei also confirmed the official debut of a 10-inch tablet, the ThinkPad model 10, in August and will be equipped with Windows 10. The arrival of Windows 10 RTM stage in July will give Microsoft enough time adjust the small problems that can occur between Windows 10-summer and producers. (PCWorld English)

Samsung NX500 camera: High-quality 4K video capture very cheap!!!

Once you go 4K, you just can't go back to full HD.

Samsung's NX500 is the first of what will be many affordable, sub-$1,000, mirrorless cameras that shoot 4K video. Up until this year, the only compact mirrorless cameras that could shoot 4K video were the Panasonic GH4, Sony A7s and Samsung NX1 — cameras that all cost well over $1,000.

The NX500 is only $800 with a 16-50mm kit lens, which costs half as much as Samsung's flagship $1,500 NX1. The lower price doesn't come at a loss of performance, though.

The camera shares much of the NX1's DNA. They both have 28.2-megapixel backside-illuminated CMOS image sensors, DRIMeVs image processors, 3-inch Super AMOLED touchscreens, built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and, of course, 4K video recording.

BEAUTIFUL PICTURES

Samsung finally gets it right

With the NX500, Samsung has finally struck the right balance between big performance and compact design. At $800, it's an extra $100 more than the Sony A6000 (usually $700 on Amazon), but you get more megapixels, a display that pops up for selfies and 4K video recording for your money.

What really pushes the NX500 over the top into epic territory is its 4K video recording. At the time of this review, there is no other interchangeable lens camera that shoots 4K at this price point. Samsung has a small advantage right now, but not for long. Panasonic's $800 Lumix G7, which also shoots 4K video, is definitely going to give the NX500 a run for its money when it debuts in June.

Outdated leatherette design aside, the Samsung NX500 is a respectable mirrorless camera. If you want to shoot high-quality 4K video on the cheap, the NX500 is the right camera for the job.

Tech: Buy button to be added to Google search results

Google has confirmed that it is to introduce a "buy button" to its search results imminently.

"There's going to be a buy button. It's going to be imminent," said Mr Kordestani on stage at the Code Conference in California on Wednesday.

The change would make it easier for shoppers to buy products featured in its shopping ads that appear alongside search results.

Mr Kordestani also noted that about nine out of 10 purchases are still made offline.

He added that the number of location-based searches to help users find something close to them had doubled in the past year.

Mobile future

Getting users to buy products as a result of searching is a key revenue earner for Google which currently charges retailers a premium to appear in a prominent position on the results page following a relevant search query.

"With Google Buy set to only be available on mobile devices and the search giant recently changing its algorithm to favour mobile optimised sites, it's clear Google believes that smartphones and tablets are the way forward for e-commerce," said Kevin Dallas from Worldpay eCommerce.

"This move from the world's biggest search engine might alarm some merchants but companies should see Google Buy as a positive, spurring retailers to acknowledge the benefits for consumers when they invest in making their site mobile optimised.

"Customers expect to be able to transact swiftly and safely from mobile devices and any company that hasn't done so will be swiftly outmanoeuvred by more nimble competitors."

Erosive

But Google's move may also cause concern for retailers who are keen to maintain a close relationship with customers said one expert.Steve Mader of retail specialists, Kantar Retail told the BBC: "Google enabling their product ads to be linked to an opportunity to buy without leaving its platform is a great step towards a more convenient product search solution."

"What remains unclear is how this will impact the narrative retailers have with their shopper - a relationship retailers are hesitant to erode.

"We anticipate this will have the largest impact on research intensive or discretionary purchases such as consumer electronics."

Apple: iPhone 7 new 2015

The camera sensor will be updated, perhaps to a 10-megapixel sensor and an increased aperture of f/1.8. Other features expected are a faster and more efficient A8 chip.

The next iPhone is widely expected to sport a larger, higher resolution screen. This is an area of great contention as changing the resolution can cause major problems for developers to update their apps efficiently. I decided that 4.7" was an ideal size, supporting a resolution of 1920x1080, that's 468ppi up from 326ppi in the iPhone 5SThe use of sapphire crystal as opposed to Corning Gorilla Glass has been widely rumoured in the past 6 months. The benefits of using Sapphire Crystal come mainly in the form of added strength/durability and added scratch/fracture resistance. It is not currently known whether the costs of producing the new display could be comparable to existing materials but it's been reported that Apple has been investing heavily in the production of this material, therefore it is not unreasonable to suggest it may be for use in the next generation iPhone.

The Best app to learn programming...

If you have any children in the family then you should definitely download the application Tynker (Android / iOS) or Hopscotch application for iPad in order to display the basic things children learn coding between games and puzzles.

Also, the application Scratch, an MIT project was code allows children to their stories and visual games. Scratch is available as a web application that can download for Mac computers, Windows and Linux. Blocky and Alice are two other applications for desktops that present the concept to coding to your children.

Regarding this, a Google Trends chart shows relatively more popular languages for coding within the past 5 years. JavaScript still remains on top as the most used language for coding.

How to make your mobile run faster ?

It’s frustrating to drop several hundred dollars on a high-end smartphone only to find that the smooth and speedy performance you expected remains elusive. Mid-rangers and the budget end of the market are even more prone to stuttering and lag. There are various ways to speed up that Android performance, and a few things you can do to make it feel faster.

Make sure you’re up to date

The latest software will often contain bug fixes and general improvements and it can help your Android device to run better. Software updates tend to come OTA (Over The Air) and you should be automatically prompted to install them, but it doesn’t hurt to check. Go to Settings > About device > Software update and check for updates.

The same logic applies to apps, so fire up the Play Store, open the menu at the top left and tap My apps and make sure all of the apps you use are up to date.

Clean up your home screen

You should also clean away any unused icons and limit your widgets to the essentials. The less cluttered your home screen is, the better in terms of performance.

Uninstall and disable unused apps

Perform a factory reset

This is a drastic step, but some people recommend that you do a factory reset periodically if you want your device running in tip-top condition. It’s a shortcut to cleaning up your device and getting rid of any junk you’ve accumulated, but it means wiping all of the data and settings. If you decide to try it then make sure you back up everything that’s important to you first. You can find the option to do it inSettings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset.

Camera: Samsung Galaxy S6 vs Iphone 6, HTC one M9, LG G4 and more...

The LG G4 camera technical details are all pretty clear: a 16-megapixel sensor of a large, 1/2.6" size with a fast, six-element f/1.8 aperture lens on top. LG has also overhauled its camera app adding a full-on manual mode where you full manual control over your smartphone: you can set shutter speeds, control focus manually, set ISO, white balance, and so on. There's an interesting new color spectrum sensor as well. Position right below the LED flash, this tiny sensor is there to tell what kind of lighting conditions you are taking pictures in (whether it is natural or artificial light), and adjust the white balance of your images properly. The LG G4 can even shoot and save RAW pictures, and it bundles in a neat shortcut to capture images right away by just double tapping on the volume down key.

The LG G4 has 16 Megapixel Camera...

But what about the actual image quality?

We've looked at camera samples from the LG G4 already, but to truly understand its capabilities we have to compare it with the other big names. For this quick camera comparison, we've got the Samsung Galaxy S6, Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, HTC One M9, LG G3, Sony Xperia Z3, and Motorola Droid Turbo.

We took them all for a spin on a day with scattered clouds, and we snapped a few samples to show how their cameras perform in comparison with the LG G4. Take a look right below.

Camera specs overview:

• LG G4: 16-megapixel camera with 1/2.6" sensor, f/1.8 lens, OIS 2

iPhone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy S6: Which is the Best?

iPhone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy S6: Our verdict on the two biggest phones out there

Let's not be coy about this, Samsung has pulled a blinder out of the bag with the Galaxy S6. Together with the very similar Galaxy S6 Edge we have two of the best smartphones you can buy right now.

Samsung has taken a very different tack with the design and features of the S6 – in some ways they've out-Appled Apple. That's what makes a comparison with the iPhone 6 so interesting. These aren't just the most popular phones at the moment, they are two of the very best.

This makes choosing between them tricky. We've been using these phones on a day to day basis for weeks and months now to give you the information you need to know. There can only be one winner and unlike the last year's shootout of the S5 vs iPhone 6, it's not as clear cut.

Which is the Best ?

Samsung Galaxy S6 vs iPhone 6: Design

Samsung Galaxy S6: 

6.9mm thick,

138g, aluminium unibody and glass panel,

White Pearl/Black Sapphire/Gold Platinum/Blue Topaz

iPhone 6: 

6.9mm thick,

129g,

anodised aluminium back,

Space Grey/Silver/Gold

Both the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6 mark a radical rethink of the design philosophies for their flagship phones. The iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus, show a delayed decision to follow the trend of phones with larger screens. Samsung's changes are even more of a departure from previous phones. Following years of dubious design and material decisions aimed at its preference for using plastic made to look like something else on top-end phones, it's finally decided to deliver something that feels worth its cost. The S6 is the luxuriously-made phone many have been clamouring for.

As a result, it's made choosing between the two more difficult than ever.

With the Galaxy S6 Samsung has delivered a phone that can finally rival the iPhone in terms of design, build-quality and materials used. From the front, the S6 could be mistaken for the S5 or even the S4. Closer inspection shows some big changes, though. The physical home button has grown to accommodate the improved fingerprint sensor, the screen bezel has narrowed significantly down the sides, while the top and bottom edges of the phone elegantly curve to create the more attractive look.

How Many Of These iOS 8.3 Problems Have You Faced?

Although iOS 8.3 is by far the best iteration of Apple’s iOS 8 platform to date, it has its fair share of bugs and performance issues. We will, in what follows, take stock of some commonly reported problems with iOS 8.3.In mid-April, the adoption rate of iOS 8 touched 78%. The release of the iOS 8.3 update, which is significantly more stable than its predecessors, on April 9, had a lot to do with that. iOS experts and app developers are expecting the public release of iOS 8.4 (which is expected to be the final upgrade before iOS 9) to take place in late-June, maybe a couple of weeks after WWDC 2015. Meanwhile, a series of bugs and issues on iOS 8.3 have been reported – indicating that the upgrade isn’t as foolproof as it was initially envisaged to be. We will here do a roundup of some of these snags that iOS device-users have faced after upgrading to iOS 8.3:

1. Inability to upgrade to iOS 8.3 – This is – let’s give where credit is due – not a widespread problem. However, there have been a not-so-insignificant number of cases where owners of iPhone 4S and fifth-generation iPod Touch have simply not been able to move on to the iOS 8.3 platform. They have been forced to stay with iOS 8.2 – which, as any mobile software or iPhone app developer would confirm, is, at best, a shaky update.
2. Issues with Bluetooth connectivity – It’s just strange how Bluetooth problems are one of the several issues that the biggest mobile platforms like iOS and Android tend to have. On iOS 8.3-powered devices, connection drops have been reported by users while using accessories, like headsets, earphones and car stereos (connected to the iPhone). Switching off Bluetooth and turning it on again is not of much help, and neither is the option of resetting the network settings (Settings → General → Reset → Reset Network Settings). iOS app development and troubleshooting experts recommend doing a hard reboot, before trying to establish the Bluetooth connection again. Making the problematic device ‘forget’ the previously connected devices (Settings → Bluetooth app → Forget This Device → Forget Device) also serves as a temporary solution. Let’s just hope iOS 8.4 comes with a patch for this irritating problem.
3. Problems in using keyboards – One of the best things about iOS 8 is, users can finally download and install third-party keyboard apps on their iDevices. However, not everyone’s experience with using keyboards have been pleasant, after upgrading to the iOS 8.3 platform. Word suggestions often get turned off on their own, and there have been reports of the popup key (at times, the entire screen) getting frozen – after a key is tapped/pressed. In certain cases, the keyboard bug has blocked off multiple keys of iOS keyboards from view. Turning off the Settings → Accessibility → Zoom is an option to avoid this problem – but once again, it’s not a permanent fix.
4. Photo storage bug – Along with the Touch ID problem (we will come to that in a bit), the problems in the camera roll are probably the most-documented among iOS 8.3 issues. Most users who do not store images on iCloud have found problems in accessing/using the photo albums on their handsets. Engineers from Apple Inc. are reportedly working for a reliable fix to this problem – which would be a part of the iOS 8.4 update. Till then though, all that people can do is create separate albums, and import pictures from the camera roll to them manually (as and when new pictures are taken). Not at all a convenient way of working.
5. Surprisingly high battery drain – Say hello to yet another common smartphone problem. After installing the iOS 8.3 upgrade, many people have found that the battery performance of their phones (which was nothing great to begin with) has become significantly worse. According to complaints posted in iOS app development forums online, users of iPhone 5S have been affected the most by this ‘battery bug’. Now, excessive battery drain can be caused by certain iPhone applications – but in this case, the problem lies with the OS itself. Interestingly, Mac OS 10.10.3 also has been reported to have battery performance issues.
6. iCloud Storage displaying wrong information – If you are surprised by the clearly erroneous storage space information on iCloud Storage on your brand new iPhone 6 – you won’t be the only one bitten by this problem. In fact, many general users as well as professional iOS app developers had detected, and reported about, the iCloud Storage incorrect data issue within a week or so after the release of iOS 8.3. There is, as yet, no quick fixes to remove this problem – unless, of course, you are willing to downgrade to iOS 8.2. Waiting for the next iteration of the iOS 8 platform would be a smarter option.
7. Problems in using tablet apps after upgrading – This is a problem has affected users of iPad Air in particular. Applications that were working fine on iOS 8.2 (and earlier versions of the OS) have started to randomly crash, freeze or become inexplicably slow – after the upgrade. Representatives from leading iPad app development companies have confirmed that this is not being caused due to app-specific malware, and is a glitch with the OS itself. It has been found that getting the affected iPads to ‘Recovery Mode’, and doing a full restore, solves the problem somewhat. Even so, a fix for this should feature in iOS 8.4.
8. Touch ID in App Store – Arguably the biggest performance bug in iOS 8.3 is the unresponsive (at least for most users) Touch ID in the App Store. Contrary to what was initially reported in online iOS forums and communities, the problem does not get rectified on its own. Neither is the glitch in the Touch ID limited to particular geographical areas or specific devices (apart from iPhone 6/6 Plus owners, users of iPhone 5S and even iPad Air 2 have reported this problem). Setting the ‘Touch ID & Passcode’ option to ‘off’ (under ‘Settings’), rebooting the device, and activating ‘Touch ID & Passcode’ again has solved the issue for some users (remember to toggle both App Store and iTunes to ‘On’ as well). However, until the fingerprint sensor on new iOS devices work uniformly efficiently, users will be apprehensive about using mobile payments apps in particular, and the overall security of their iDevices in general.
9. iMessages can start malfunctioning – To be fair, iMessages on iOS 8 was never perfect to start with. It’s rather surprising though that even in the third major upgrade, the developers have not been able to remove the problems. Right from non-functional Group Messages and inability to activate Facetime, to non-receipt of messages from particular sender(s)/device(s) and blurring out of the phone numbers – a wide range of iMessage issues are still reported by the adopters of the iOS 8.3 update. In certain cases, sending/receiving image files via iMessages is a problem as well. With Apple focusing on greater stability and enhanced performance in the upcoming iOS 9 platform, developers feel that the Messages app will finally become trouble-free. Till then though, users will have to live with its unreliability.
10. Frequent wifi connection drops – It’s not entirely surprising that an incremental update like iOS 8.3 has some problems with the wifi connectivity feature on devices. For a section of users though, the frequency of connection drops and breaks, and generally weak connectivity (even when the signal strength is strong enough) has been abnormally high. One way to tackle this problem (at least temporarily) is by doing a hard reboot of the affected iPhone. Some users have also reset the network settings, and found that the wifi connectivity has improved significantly on their handsets.
11. Random crashes of the mail app – This one is plain weird. On upgraded iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus, the built-in mail application has been found to crash rather frequently. There has also been reports of significant delays in the receipt of incoming mails. After moving on to iOS 8.3, some users have seen that the mail app on their iPhones force quitting on their own as well. iOS software and app developers feel that, in a major upgrade, presence of a problem like this is extremely surprising.
12. Password Settings getting lost – One of the most promising new features of iOS 8.3 has also turned out to be rather problematic. The upgrade is supposed to allow users to download any free iPhone application from the App Store, and not bother about using the Touch ID for that. However, there have been instances of the password settings getting reset automatically. As a result, people are being used to re-enter their passwords repeatedly, for each download. Deactivating the ‘Require Password’ option (in ‘Password Settings’ under the Apple ID) does not solve the problem. Once again, a patch for this expected from the next upgrade.

In addition to the above, complaints have come in about sudden crashes in the Photos app (particularly after deleting photo(s)), after upgrading to iOS 8.3. Some users have experienced problems with the rear camera of their iPhones. There have been scattered reports about AirPlay and CarPlay performance issues after doing the upgrade.

Although the list of iOS 8.3 problems seems pretty big, one thing has to be noted here. Barring the Touch ID bug, none of the other issues are universal – and there have been plenty of iPhone 6 users who are relatively satisfied with the upgrade (it’s a different story among iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S users though). Apple Inc. is aware of these issues, and would, hopefully, resolve most of them in the soon-to-release iOS 8.4 update.

How many of these problems have you faced?

Samsung uses Snapchat to ‘Edge-ucate’ you about its latest flagship

Samsung is going all out on marketing and advertising efforts for the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge, why wouldn’t it since these new handsets are crucial for the company to regain its footing in the global smartphone market. The company now seeks to offer “Edge-ucation” about its latest flagship through Snapchat and for that purpose it has teamed up with popular Snapchat user Shonduras to release a series of videos that subtly promote the Galaxy S6 edge.

For those who don’t know who Shonduras is, he’s a Snapchat user that has gained quite a lot of popularity because of his drawing skills which he uses to embellish the ephemeral photos that he shares with people. Samsung put the Galaxy S6 edge in Shonduras’s hands and made several videos in which he goes through “Snapchat secrets” that will help you up your ephemeral messaging game, and possibly even convince you to purchase the Galaxy S6 edge if you haven’t already. Even if it doesn’t get you to purchase the company’s latest flagship at least you get to learn some cool Snapchat tricks.

Samsung sets sights on the iPhone 6S, may announce the Galaxy Note 5 in July

We all know that engineers at Samsung are hard at work in developing the Galaxy Note 5, and it was expected that the company would traditionally announce it during IFA 2015. Now, a report from WhoWired Korea is claiming that Samsung might drop the bomb sooner than expected as it is trying to outmatch Apple by announcing its next flagship smartphone ahead of the iPhone 6S’ possible announcement in August.

According to the report, Samsung has finalised the specifications of the Galaxy Note 5, and already showcased it to its global telecom partners. Apparently, Samsung has plans to complete the prototype by mid-June, and take pre-orders before the launch at the end of July. There is a slight possibility of this report being true, but you should take this with a pinch of salt.

Samsung has experienced less than stellar sales of its Galaxy Note series devices, thanks to Apple’s entry into the phablet category with the iPhone 6 Plus. Previously, we reported that the Galaxy Note 5 could feature a 2K or a 4K display and an Exynos 7 processor with an inbuilt homegrown modem. Samsung is also expected to announce its first round smartwatch (Gear A), which runs on a newer version of Tizen, alongside the Galaxy Note 5.

Samsung Gear Live no longer available from Google Play, probably discontinued

Samsung hasn’t been very keen on Android Wear, but the company was still the first (along with LG) to launch a smartwatch running Google’s OS for wearables. This watch was the Gear Live, which is basically a rehashed Gear that cut down on some features (like calling) thanks to Android Wear’s limited nature.

Needless to say, the Gear Live wasn’t very popular, partly because of lack of any marketing from Samsung, so it should not come as disappointing to anyone that it has now been discontinued, less than a year after it was launched. It’s no longer available for purchase from Google Play; you can still grab it from stores like Amazon, but it’s likely it won’t go up for sale again once the current stock runs out.

If you are put off by the fact that the Gear Live is soon going the way of the dodo, you can always look forward to the Gear A (codenamed Orbis), Samsung’s first round smartwatch. It will run Tizen instead of Android Wear, but it will also come with anattractive design, a new user interface, and a rotating bezel ring for intuitive operation.

With 12 hours battery life Samsung to show off an Ultrabook

The biggest attempt to match the sleek and beautiful form factor of Apple’s MacBook was the Ultrabook, a platform by Intel that saw many manufacturers come out with extremely thin laptops that offered better battery life than standard Windows laptops and higher resolution displays. However, Ultrabooks never managed to take off in a way companies might have hoped, but it looks like Samsung is giving it another go with a new Ultrabook that it will show off at CES next month.Samsung will be showcasing the Series 9 2015 Edition Ultrabook, which will feature a 12.2-inch display with a resolution of 2560×1600 (WQXGA) and a brightness of 700 nits with an adaptive feature for adjusting brightness according to the lighting conditions. The Ultrabook will be powered by the Intel Core M-5Y10c Broadwell processor, along with 2GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage.The best feature of the new Ultrabook seems to be its battery life – Samsung is claiming 12 hours of battery backup, achieved with the help of the Ultra Power Saving Mode that we have seen on the company’s handsets. Windows 8.1 will help as well, as it is the most optimized version of Windows till date.With Samsung having exited the laptop market in Europe, it’s interesting to see the company experimenting with a form factor that has failed to make a dent in the laptop market. Details on availability and pricing will likely be given at CES, which is only week or so away at this point.

Mobile: Galaxy Note Edge sequel to be preceded by another device with Edge display ?!

The Galaxy S6 edge might have looked like an experiment thanks to its dual curved Edge display, but high consumer demand has easily turned it into a mainstream device. To meet this demand, Samsung was reported to have opened up a new factory to be able to produce more S6 edge displays, and if a new report is to be believed, the new factory is churning out enough curved displays for the company to start working on a new device with an Edge display.As we had exclusively revealed, Samsung is supposedly working on the successor to the Galaxy Note Edge as a smartphone that won’t exactly mirror the Galaxy Note 5 in terms of hardware, but the report suggests the Korean manufacturer might come up with another device with an Edge display before the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy Note Edge sequel get announced at IFA later this year. No other details have been given, but Samsung is apparently thinking that the success of the S6 edge is enough reason for it to dabble in another device with an Edge screen.We wouldn’t mind seeing another smartphone as attractive and unique as the Galaxy S6 edge, though it would be great if Samsung doesn’t do what it always does and get carried away with making too many Edge phones, as that is sure to take away the charm of having such a device. But then again, there is no guarantee this report is entirely accurate, but considering the source’s track record, it’s not something that should be completely dismissed either.Would you be interested in seeing more Samsung phones with these Edge displays, or do you think the company would be better off sticking to having just two flagships with such a screen each year?
