Samsung Galaxy Alpha Review


Seeking to redefine the concept of their flagship Galaxy series, Samsung has developed a new brand of smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy Alpha aims to deliver the same quality experience as previous entries in the Galaxy series but under a new label and in a new package. This time Samsung has placed an emphasis on aesthetics with a more compact metal-framed design, while offering a blend of premium and mid-range features.

Samsung's thinnest smartphone
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha features a compact new design with a more aesthetic look and premium feel than any of Samsung's previous Galaxy mobiles. Samsung ditched the all-plastic design of the past and added a sturdy aluminum frame to the Alpha. The Galaxy Alpha also comes with a matte finish, and the rear casing looks quite similar to the shell of Samsung's Galaxy S5 and is constructed of the same soft-touch polycarbonate material. Measuring only a quarter of an inch (7mm) thick, the Alpha is also Samsung's thinnest handset to date. Compared to the S5, the Galaxy Alpha is thinner, lighter, and much easier to hold on to.

Fingerprint security
Samsung's new fingerprint security technology made its debut on the Galaxy S5 and has since appeared on several of Samsung's mobile devices. Just like on the S5, the fingerprint reader on the Samsung Galaxy Alpha works by swiping your finger vertically over the sensor located within the Note's home button. You can use your fingerprint to unlock the Alpha, verify your identity when making purchases via PayPal, or when purchasing mobile content through Samsung services.

Health and fitness tracking
Another feature that has migrated over from the Galaxy S5 to the Galaxy Alpha is Samsung's heart rate monitor and S Health app. The heart rate sensor is located on the back of the Alpha, but has been repositioned to the left side of the rear camera instead of just under it like on the Glaxy S5. With Samsung's S Health app you can measure your heart rate and track your fitness activities.

Super AMOLED display technology
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha features a 4.7-inch (119mm) Super AMOLED display panel with a moderate 1280x720 resolution, 16 million colors, and a 313 pixel density. The Galaxy Alpha's 4.7-inch display is very close in size to the display of the 2012 Galaxy S3, and they also share the same AMOLED display technology and 720p resolution. But when compared to the higher 1080p resolution of the Galaxy S5, the Alpha's display is obviously dated. Despite the moderate resolution however, the Super AMOLED display quality on the Galaxy Alpha is far better than what you'll get with most mid-range smartphones.

Same hardware as the Galaxy S5
The Galaxy Alpha runs on the same hardware as Samsung's Galaxy S5. The U.S. version comes with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with a clock speed of 2.5 GHz, an Adreno 330 graphics processor, and 2 GB of RAM. Whereas the international version features an Exynos 5 Octa processor and an ARM Mali T628MP6 graphics processor. Both version of the Alpha come with 32 GB of storage space and are lacking a MicroSD card slot.

Premium cameras
Camera specs on the Samsung Galaxy Alpha are near those of the Galaxy S5, and many of the same premium camera features of the S5 are also available on the Alpha. The Galaxy Alpha comes with a 12 megapixel rear camera and a 2 megapixel cam at the front. Camera features include an LED flash, autofocus, real time HDR, Ultra HD and 4K video recording, and an improved image sensor with Samsung's ISOCELL technology.

Battery life
The Samsung Galaxy Alpha comes with a smaller sized battery than the Galaxy S5. The Alpha is also powering a smaller 720p resolution display however, so the drain on the battery life isn't as taxing as the higher resolution display of the S5. The Galaxy Alpha also comes with Samsung's Ultra Power Saving Mode which helps to minimize battery consumption by shutting down unnecessary features while still allowing access to basic mobile functions.

Android 4.4 KitKat with Samsung's TouchWiz UX interface
The Galaxy Alpha runs a custom version of Android's 4.4.4 KitKat with Samsung's TouchWiz Nature UX 3.0 serving as a front-end for the operating system. Samsung's TouchWiz has been updated for improved user friendliness, and features a cleaner interface with less clutter, larger icons, and added visual cues. The Samsung Galaxy Alpha comes with much of the same software as the Galaxy S5, however, the Alpha ships with an updated Android KitKat and will also receive an update to Android 5.0 Lollipop upon its release.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Review

Samsung has delivered a new addition to their premium Galaxy Note series and it looks to be the most impressive evolution we have seen yet. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 builds upon the legacy of its predecessors while offering plenty of new enhancements and updates.

The Note 4 includes Samsung's trendsetting large-sized phablet display, iconic S Pen stylus, and all the popular features and innovations of past Note devices. Some of the new features include an updated higher-resolution display, improved S Pen, fingerprint security, new sensors, updated hardware, increased storage capacity, and a fast battery charging feature.

A refreshed design
Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 features a refreshed design based on its predecessor the Galaxy Note 3. One of the main differences is Samsung's use of an aluminum frame and buttons, which gives the Note 4 a more polished look and sturdier feel than the chrome colored plastic we have seen on previous generation Notes. The rear cover of the Galaxy Note 4 features a soft-touch faux leather textured backing which provides a secure and comfortable gripping surface. And thankfully Samsung has decided to ditch the fake stitch pattern that adorned the rear of the Galaxy Note 3.

Fingerprint security
Samsung's new fingerprint security technology made its debut on the Galaxy S5 and has since appeared on several of Samsung's mobile devices, but this is the first time it has appeared on the Galaxy Note. Just like on the S5, the fingerprint reader on the Galaxy Note 4 works by swiping your finger vertically over the sensor located within the Note's home button. You can use your fingerprint to unlock the Note 4, verify your identity when making purchases via PayPal, or when purchasing mobile content through Samsung services.

Health and fitness tracking
Other features that have migrated over from the Galaxy S5 to the Galaxy Note 4 include Samsung's S Health app and heart rate monitor. The heart rate sensor is located on the rear of the Note 4, just under the camera. The Galaxy Note 4 also includes an ultraviolet or UV sensor which can be used to measure ultraviolet radiation. With Samsung's S Health app you can measure your heart rate, check UV levels, and track your fitness activities with the help of the Note's various sensors.

Advanced S Pen stylus
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 features an updated S Pen with double the touch sensitivity of the Note 3's stylus. The increased sensitivity improves the S Pen's accuracy and gives the stylus a far more natural feel when using it to write, take notes, or draw on Galaxy Note 4's screen. Samsung has also updated several of the S Pen's features and added a few new ones as well. New additions include a Smart Select editing feature, a photo editing feature called Photo Note, and new fountain pen and calligraphy writing options.

Premium Super AMOLED display
Samsung has updated the Super AMOLED display panel on the Galaxy Note 4 to a sharper Quad HD (2K) resolution. The display features an improved 2560x1440 resolution with a 515 pixels-per-inch density and is protected by a sheet of scratch resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

The difference in display quality between the Galaxy Note 4 and last year's Galaxy Note 3 is quite noticeable. The Galaxy Note 4's Quad HD display includes 1.6 million more pixels than the Galaxy Note 3, so graphics appear sharper and clearer as a result. The Galaxy Note 4 offers a very rich viewing experience with vivid colors, high contrasts, improved brightness and wider viewing angles.

Increased processing power and more storage space
Internally, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes with several hardware improvements, including a more powerful quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor with a faster 2.7 GHz clock speed, and an updated Adreno graphics processor. The Galaxy Note 4 also includes a higher capacity 128 GB MicroSD expansion slot, doubling the storage space that was available on the Galaxy Note 3.

Premium camera features
Samsung has improved both camera quality and functionality on the Galaxy Note 4. Camera hardware has been upgraded and several new premium camera features have been added. The rear camera has been updated to 16 megapixels and includes a new Smart OIS image stabilization feature and is capable of shooting ultra-high definition 4K video. The front cam has also been upgraded to 3.7 megapixels and comes with a new 120 degree wide-angle photo shooting option.

Fast Charge and Ultra Power Saving Mode
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 includes a new fast charging feature that considerably speeds up the time it takes to charge the battery. Using this feature you can charge the Note from zero to 50% in only 30 minutes. Another new feature on the Note 4, ported over from the Galaxy S5, Samsung's Ultra Power Saving Mode helps to minimize battery consumption by shutting down unnecessary features while still allowing access to basic mobile functions.

Android 4.4 KitKat with Samsung's TouchWiz UX interface
The Galaxy Note 4 runs a custom version of Android's 4.4 KitKat with Samsung's TouchWiz Nature UX 3.0 serving as a front-end for the operating system. Samsung's TouchWiz has been updated for improved user friendliness, and features a cleaner interface with less clutter, larger icons, and added visual cues.

Samsung also promises an upgrade to the upcoming Android L operating system upon its release.

Motorola Moto G (2nd Generation) Review

Looking for a quality low cost Android phone? Then you'll definitely want to check out the new Moto G. Motorola's 2nd generation budget mobile expands on the first-gen model, offering a larger 5-inch display, a 32GB MicroSD expansion slot, updated cameras, and a stock Android experience, while retaining the same price point as last year.

Simple customizable design
Motorolla's 2nd generation Moto G retains the simple curved design and spirit of the original, but with a few notable differences. Like the first-gen mobile, the rear of the new Moto G is slightly curved and removable, allowing you to customize the back-plate to your liking with different colored Motorola shells. However, the new Motorola Moto G features larger height and width dimensions due to the addition of bigger display, but it's also slightly thinner than the original. Motorola also added a water-resistant splash coating and replaced the the first-gen Moto G's rear mounted mono speaker with a set of front-facing stereo speakers.

Larger 5-inch display
Motorola increased the display size of the Moto G by half an inch, giving the new mobile a 5-inch diagonal. Despite the increase in display size however, the Motorola Moto G still retains the same 720p resolution as the original. Also like the original, the 2nd generation Moto G's 5-inch IPS display is covered by a scratch-resistant sheet of Corning Gorilla glass 3.

Quad-core processing power
The new Motorola Moto G runs on much of the same hardware as last year's Moto G. The internals include a 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, coupled with an Adreno 305 graphics processor, and supported by 1 GB of DDR3 RAM. With the same internals as last year, you can expect the same performance out of the new Moto G as the original was capable of.
Motorola Moto G (2nd Generation) Specs:
Brand: Motorola
Series: Moto G (2nd Generation)
Release Date: September, 2014
Dimensions: 5.5x2.8x0.23-0.43in
Weight: 0.32lbs (149g)
Display: 5in LCD
Resolution: 1280x720, 294ppi
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core 1.2 GHz
Graphics: Adreno 305
Memory: 1 GB DDR3
Storage: 8 GB + 32 GB MicroSD
Camera: 2 MP Front, 8 MP Rear
Wireless: Dual-band 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth 4.0LE
Network: Global & US GSM
Battery: 2070 mAh Lithium-Ion
Operating System: Android 4.4.4 KitKat

Check the sale price for the Motorola Moto G (2nd Generation) on Amazon.com
Improved cameras
Cameras on the new Motorola Moto G include an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera, upgraded from the 5 megapixel cam of the first generation Moto G. Motorola has also increased the aperture size of the camera, increasing the camera lens speed, which results in faster photo shooting capabilities. The new Moto G also includes a front-facing cam which has been updated from 1.3 to 2 megapixels.

Extra storage capacity
A complaint many users of the original Moto G had was the smartphone's lack of a MicroSD slot. Motorola has remedied this by including a MicroSD memory card slot on the 2nd Generation Moto G —adding up to 32 gigabytes of expandable storage.

3G wireless connectivity
The Motorola Moto G is optimized to work with 3G UMTS/HSPA+ networks but lacks any LTE connectivity features. The absence of LTE is likely a cost cutting measure by Motorola. However, if LTE is what you need then you'll likely want to check out Motorola's Moto X instead. The new Moto G also supports 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi wireless standards and Bluetooth 4.0LE.

All day battery life
The new Motorola Moto G comes with the same 2070 mAh Lithium-Ion battery as last year's mobile. So you can expect around the same battery life out of the new Moto G as you would get from the original. Motorola claims an all day battery life on a full-charge for the Moto G which is a fairly accurate assessment.

Android 4.4 KitKat
The 2nd Generation Motorola Moto G comes with a mostly stock version of Android 4.4.4 KitKat with a few proprietary software features. Motorola has added a small but useful app bundle which includes Motorola's Alert, Assist, Connect, Migrate, Camera, and Help apps. Motorola also promises an upgrade to the upcoming Android L operating system upon its release.

—"Amazing phone, cheap price!"

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 Review

Samsung's Galaxy Tab series offers core tablet functionality at a fraction of the price of higher-end devices. The fourth generation mid-range mobile brings with it a fresh new look, hardware upgrades, updated software and a custom version of Android's KitKat operating system.

Highly portable compact design
Samsung departed from last year's look and opted for a more angular and tapered style for their fourth generation tablet. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 features rounded corners and a flatter edge for the top and bottom bezels instead of the sloped style of the Galaxy Tab 3. The shell is constructed of a light-weight polycarbonate with dimensions that are similar to last year's tablet. The Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 has a thin metallic trim that wraps around its edges, and a textured faux-leather material on the rear that provides a more comfortable gripping surface.

Colorful high-definition display
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 features a 10-inch display panel with a moderate 1280x800 HD resolution and a pixel density of 149 pixels-per-inch. While not as high-resolution as Samsung's higher-end Galaxy Tab Pro models, the Galaxy Tab 4 display still manages to provide a nice viewing experience with vibrant colors, rich graphics, and wide viewing angles.

Quad-core processing power
Samsung has improved the hardware on the Galaxy Tab 4, including a more powerful quad-core processor upgraded from the previous generation's dual-core chip. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 features a faster quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz. System memory has also been upgraded, from the Galaxy Tab 3's single gigabyte of RAM, to 1.5 GB on the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1. The new hardware improvements result in a considerable boost to overall system performance.

Series: Galaxy Tab 4
Release Date: May 2014
Dimensions: 9.58x6.94x0.31in

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 Review


Samsung's Galaxy Tab series offers core tablet functionality at a fraction of the price of higher-end devices. The fourth generation mid-range mobile brings with it a fresh new look, hardware upgrades, updated software and a custom version of Android's KitKat operating system.

Highly portable compact design
Samsung departed from last year's look and opted for a more angular and tapered style for their fourth generation tablet. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 features rounded corners and a flatter edge for the top and bottom bezels instead of the sloped style of the Galaxy Tab 3. The shell is constructed of a light-weight polycarbonate with dimensions that are similar to last year's tablet. The Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 has a thin metallic trim that wraps around its edges, and a textured faux-leather material on the rear that provides a more comfortable gripping surface.

Colorful high-definition display
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 features a 8-inch display panel with a moderate 1280x800 HD resolution and a pixel density of 189 pixels-per-inch. While not as high-resolution as Samsung's higher-end Galaxy Tab Pro models, the Galaxy Tab 4 display still manages to provide a nice viewing experience with vibrant colors, rich graphics, and wide viewing angles.

Quad-core processing power
Samsung has improved the hardware on the Galaxy Tab 4, including a more powerful quad-core processor upgraded from the previous generation's dual-core chip. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 features a faster quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz. System memory has also been upgraded, from the Galaxy Tab 3's single gigabyte of RAM, to 1.5 GB on the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0. The new hardware improvements result in a considerable boost to overall system performance.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Review


Some have described Samsung's latest flagship mobile as more of an evolution than revolution, but this year Samsung seems to be paying more attention to the things that matter most to the end-user. Samsung has taken a 'back to the basics' approach with the Galaxy S5, focusing on improving the essentials, while continuing to build upon previous innovations.

Modern glam style design
Even at a glance you can tell that Samsung's new smartphone looks different from last year's Galaxy S4. Like previous generations before it, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is still constructed from a light-weight polycarbonate, but the design and shape has changed. The corners appear more angular than the shape of the Galaxy S4. The Samsung Galaxy S5 also features a textured soft-touch rear casing instead of the glossy style of the S4. The S5's perforated texture provides a much better gripping surface than the S4's slick glossy plastic.

Dust-resistant and waterproof
Samsung's S5 can also hold up well outdoors thanks to dust and waterproofing technologies. The Samsung Galaxy S5 comes IP67 certified for dust and water resistance. This means the S5 can withstand the rain and can survive submerged in a meter of water for up to half an hour.

Increased mobile security with new fingerprint scanner
Fingerprint recognition is quickly becoming the new security trend among mobiles, and Samsung has developed their own version of the technology. Simply swipe your finger over the sensor and you can unlock the S5. The fingerprint scanner can also be used to verify your identity when making purchases via PayPal, or when purchasing mobile content through Samsung services.

Health and fitness tracking
The Samsung Galaxy S5 comes with a heart rate sensor on the rear of the device just under the camera. The heart sensor allows you to keep track of your heart rate and fitness activities through Samsung's S Health app. With S Health you can also measure your current speed, the distance you have covered, and calories burned.

Super AMOLED display technology
The display panel hasn't changed much since the Galaxy S4. The Samsung Galaxy S5 features a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display which is only slightly larger than the S4's 5-inch display. The S5 display panel has a resolution of 1920x1080 and a slightly lower pixel density measuring 432 pixels-per-inch. Despite the lack of an upgrade in this area, the Galaxy S5's high-definition display still looks great. Colors appear vibrant and rich and are not as oversaturated as on the Galaxy S3. Samsung has also integrated a nice set of display adjustment features on the S5, so you can customize the screen settings how you like.

Improved processing speed and power
When it comes to overall power the Galaxy S5 has the S4 beat. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is powered by an updated Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor which runs at 2.5 GHz. The S5 also features a more powerful Qualcomm Adreno 330 graphics processor running at 578 MHz. RAM speed has also been increased on the S5 which contributes to a boost in overall system performance.

Faster next-generation wireless

The S5 also supports a large number of LTE frequencies. With Samsung's new Download Booster technology you can even use wifi and LTE together to considerably boost your download speed.

Extended battery life
The Galaxy S5 features a larger capacity battery than the Galaxy S4. The S5's hardware has also been optimized for increased battery life. Samsung has also included an Ultra Power Saving Mode which shuts down unnecessary features to help minimize battery consumption.

Android 4.4 KitKat with Samsung's TouchWiz UX interface
The Samsung Galaxy S5 runs a modified version of Android's 4.4 KitKat with a reworked version of Samsung's TouchWiz UX user interface. Samsung has cut down on the amount of bloatware this year but still manages to pack in a good amount of useful apps and features on the S5. Many of the Samsung staples are still here along with popular features such as Multi Window and Air View.
