Whats New in Android 4 3

Not long after Android 4.3 Jelly Bean was officially announced by Google, smartphone manufacturers started to make their own related announcements. Sony, in particular, gave a short list of phones that will run on the newest Android version. Of course, you do not have to buy a new phone just to run Android 4.3 – some existing models will have the capability to upgrade when the time comes. (If you want to use that as an excuse, though, there’s nothing stopping you!)
Android 4.3
But, what’s Android 4.3 Jelly Bean all about? Is it really worth getting excited about it?
While Android 4.3 is merely an update to the current version – not a whole new operating system – there are some things to look forward to.
For Users
  • Bluetooth Smart – the bottom line is that this feature will allow us to connect external devices to Android 4.3 gadgets. Smartwatches, fitness trackers, and all those little gizmos will have no issues connecting to your Android 4.3 Jelly Bean device. Also known as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
  • Restricted profiles – this is most useful for devices which have multiple users. After all, not all of us have the luxury of having one device per person. With this feature, you can create profiles which have highly controlled access. Parents, are you thinking what I’m thinking?
  • Dial Pad auto complete – auto complete can be a pain, but this feature will make it easier to call your contacts.
Developers
  • OpenGL 3 – developers will look forward to this as they will have an easier time creating awesome apps – as a standard feature.
  • Better profiling tools – developers can tweak their apps so they are faster and perform better
  • DRM – for media content providers, the new DRM feature will be a welcome one. Not sure for certain users!
It all seems underwhelming, doesn’t it? What’s your take?
Need specific instructions on how to upgrade to Android 4.3? Here you go.

LG G Pad 8 3 gets a price cut to £199 99 in the UK


UK retailer Expansys has cut the price of the extremely capable LG G Pad 8.3 tablet to £199.99.

The price comes just a few months after its initial release, and is likely done in anticipation of Samsung’s imminent release of their new Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4.
The WiFi-only LG tablet impressed us when we reviewed it last October with its robust 1920 x 1200 pixel display, 1.7GHz quad-core Krait CPU, 2GB of RAM and 4,600 mAh battery. With a great array of connectivity features including an IR-port, it’s one of the best living room tablets around.
Now, with the the latest price cut (for the 16GB model, naturally), the cost of a G Pad 8.3 comes almost to the level of a Google Nexus 7.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S – Specifications

The expectations for the screen are now clear. Under the hood, Samsung would have chosen their own Exynos 5420 processor, which has eight cores. The processor uses the big.LITTLE principle with four cores with a clock speed of 1.9GHz and four high-energy nuclei with low clock speed of 1.3GHz are deployed. In this way, optimal and energy efficient performance can be guaranteed. This processor is accompanied by 3GB of RAM and Mali-T628 graphics chip with a clock speed of 533MHz.

The rear is fitted with a special structure so that the tablet provides more grip in the hand. Samsung would have chosen the colors Shimmer White and Titanium Grey

Samsung Galaxy Tab S -. Fingerprint scanner

A unique feature of the new Galaxy S Tab tablets is that they are likely to provide a fingerprint scanner. Samsung currently has this feature only included in the S5 Galaxy S smartphone, but the Galaxy Tab tablets would therefore be the first tablets with this extra security. Different users can have their fingerprints scanned and then login to their own account. This function we also know from the Samsung Galaxy S5, and it seems to be that the implementation of a fingerprint scanner will be.

that the tablets will be announced in a few days we now know as well as sure. Probably the Korean manufacturer chooses this time for 4G and WiFi-only versions of both models. A 3G version would not be released according to various sources. Pricing and availability in the Netherlands is not yet known, but we assume that the Dutch branch of PR Samsung lets us know more about that around Thursday. Rumors and ‘mistakes’ from a Finnish shop There are, however, if we thus guide us, we think of 450 euros for the 8.4-inch model and over 100 euros more for larger version.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and 4 get Lollipop early 2015 – Tablets Magazine

Through Twitter today come out that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and 4 in early 2015 only includes Android 5.0 Lollipop . Samsung showed themselves know and it means that the rumors that talked about a release in late 2014 prove to be correct.

Samsung Galaxy Note owners are probably asking for a while where their version of Android 5.0 Lollipop remains. According to the latest rumors proved too by the end of the year happen for people with Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and photos and Video last week gave us great hope that rumors sometimes could be truth. All images that gave us a look into the future and showed us how the TouchWiz interface would look like with Android 5.0.

And Android 5.0 is probably one of the most sought after software upgrades of the moment – perhaps the most sought after in the Android era of all time. It decorates your smartphone, tablet or phablet with funky new colors, a much cleaner look, improved security function and many more features, so the people are Poppelen to be able to work with Lollipop. And Samsung Galaxy Note 3- and 4-owners must apparently still waiting longer than initially thought: stripe but by 2014

On Twitter is because the profile of Reuters journalist Vincent Se Young. Lee brought out that Samsung “officially” announced that two units, along with the Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5, until early 2015, count on the update. We know this, of course, not sure, but it seems unlikely that Samsung releases the update simultaneously. We assume that Samsung first set to work with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, then the Note 3 and then only with the two smartphones.
