Samsung Galaxy Note III Will Be Able to Record Ultra High Definition Videos Posted: 27 Aug 2013 08:11 PM PDT With less than two weeks left until the official release of the Samsung Galaxy Note III phablet at IFA 2013 on September the 4′th, rumors are abundant and more specific. The latest hear-say about the Samsung Galaxy Note III is about its amazing video recording capabilities. Since it is expected for the Galaxy Note III to be available in two versions, one running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 (most probably this version will make like 90% of the sales) and the other one featuring the in-house Exynos 5420 system on chip from Samsung, both processors will be powerful enough to permit ultra high definition video recording, also known as 4k. This educated guess was made by the Korea Economic Daily, a Korean newspaper and even if we don’t have an official announcement from Samsung about this matter, it does seem plausible enough, because the Note 3 is perfectly capable of doing it. And, we know for a fact that Sony’s next flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z1 aka Honami will feature 4k video recording capability and it will come as a direct contender for the Samsung Galaxy Note III. Hence, if Samsung fails to deliver ultra high definition video recording on its high-end smartphone, well, it could affect its sales, so my money goes for 4k all the way in the Note 3. Another hint about the Samsung Galaxy Note III 4k capabilities comes from its micro-SD card slot which will enhance its internal storage capabilities, because guess what : those 4k video files are huge! Along with the high def video, the Samsung Galaxy Note III will come with a significant upgrade in its audio quality playback. Currently, the Galaxy line of smartphones supports 16 bit audio CD quality, the Note 3 will be in the “hi-fi” range with 24-bit/192 kHz sound quality.

Samsung Galaxy Gear Confirmed by Official, To Be Released on September 4′th Posted: 27 Aug 2013 07:44 PM PDT Good news for all the tech maniacs out there, because today we have an official announcement from Samsung’s Mobile division vice president, Lee Young-hee about the Galaxy Gear Smartwatch to be released at IFA 2013, on September the 4′th. The normal modus-operandi for Samsung is to keep absolutely quiet when releasing a new gadget and they like to let tech bloggers to fuel the rumor mill until the last moment. It’s a nice marketing strategy, like those Hollywood teasers and it seems to work like a charm. This time, an unusual thing happened with the Galaxy Gear, because Korea Times just released the official confirmation of the gadget from a Samsung executive. Along with the smartwatch, the Galaxy Note 3 was also confirmed to be released on September the 4′th and Lee told us some juicy details about the gadget. So, here it comes : unfortunately, there is no flexible display on the Gear, as already rumored, and that’s a bummer; or at least, the first edition of the Gear will be as boring as your regular watch, because if we judge on earlier speculation following Samsung’s design patents leaked back in July, they are really working on flexible displays, along with LG; The announcement of a future edition of the Galaxy Gear featuring a flexible display is  like another teaser from Samsung, these guys are sneaky, I must give them that. But then again, if a follow up to the yet to be released Galaxy Gear will feature a cool flexible display, why would anyone buy the first edition? Lee also told us that the Galaxy Gear smartwatch is aimed to “enhance and enrich  the smart mobile experience”, to use Lee’s own words, and I don’t really understand this corporate blabber, but anyway, moving along with the story. According to Lee, the Galaxy Gear is targeted to the younger audiences and “trend setters” and it appears like Samsung is taking Apple’s place when it comes to innovation. As you can see, Samsung is betting on wearable devices in order to boost its slowing smartphone sales, it remains to be seen if they will be successful.
