Samsung Galaxy Note 2 a better human design with the S Pen

Apple on Monday just announced that iPhone 5 sales topped more than five million over its first weekend, hit a sell record compared to iPhone 4s, which have a four million opening weekend sales. But at least seen from now, it has no obvious effect on Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy S3 has sold more than 20 million already, and the Note 2 is attracting a lot of attention thanks to its better hardware and comes preloaded with Android Jelly Bean with new features. The most appealing feature of the Galaxy Note 2 is the addition of the S Pen. 

Compared to Galaxy Note, The new S Pen on Note 2 has been further improved. The new S Pen is slightly thicker and longer than the previous one. The Pen shape upgraded to an elongated cylindrical shape, thereby increasing the grip surface.


Another new feature is Air View.  It lets you hover the pen over the Lcd (without touching) to activate previews, such as looking inside an album in the picture gallery. The technology used with the S Pen allows it to be recognized even when its a few millimeters away from the Lcd, That is to say you can browse the content without click the icon. For example, you can hover the pen over an email, and youll get a preview of the first few lines.



With Easy Clip technology, Its also possible to draw around anything you see on the Lcd and cut it out to paste elsewhere. Simply pull out the pen and youll be able to scribble stuff down in seconds.

Reportedly upcoming iPhone 6s final design confirmed dummy units are here!



Apples upcoming smartphone and their next generation iPhone 6 is leaking in and out from different sources these days. Literally speaking, we have been seeing different stages of the yet to go official smartphones dummy units flooding the internet media. All the pictures we see day by day are almost similar in nature, where yesterday we saw another round of the unannounced phones dummy units posing for the camera, with the courtesy NWE from Twitter, said to be in the final juncture of their 2014 design for iPhone 6.

What we do notice from the pictures attached both above and below, are that, the new said to be Apples upcoming front runner smartphone and so called iPhone 6 is really slim in its design, which is almost as thin as the companys last announced fifth generation iPod.

The Americans seems to have skipped the glass panel on its flagships back, going for a full-anodized aluminium finish this time, as what they have been doing with the iPads and iPods lately. The camera lens sensor looks to be slightly bigger when compared to other iPhones in the market and the LED seems to have shrunk in size, skipping that dual-tone fashion. According to the hardware buttons, on the left we have Apples traditional mute switch sitting above the redesigned volume up and down rockers, which now have the same shape of an Apple made iPod 5s volume buttons, featuring the long and narrow buttons instead of the circular ones seen from the current iPhone 5S.

Where else on the right we surprisingly see Apple re-positioning their sleep/wake button, reportedly for better one handed operation, as the new Apple iPhone 6 was earlier rumored to come in two flavors, one measuring with a 4.7-inches screen and another one to be a 5.7-incher with the SIM card slot placed below the power key. There isnt much change from the devices front side to be noted at the moment. We will have to wait a bit long until this fall for any official news from the American multinational corporation.
