Samsung releases a slew of ads poking fun at Apple


Samsung has released 6 ads that, I think, will be aired in the USA since they look like they are made by Samsung Mobile USA that went on making fun at Apple. The ads were released and uploaded on Samsung Mobile's YouTube channel a few days after Apple's unveiling of their phablet challenger, the iPhone 6 Plus. I really don't need to say anything else with these ads. Just watch them and have fun. My favorite is that ad right there in the photo. (video after the break)

Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab Active


This is, according to Samsung, their tablet offering specifically built for business. The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active a tablet that looks like more of an outdoor tablet rather than a business tablet. The design and how you actually perceive it delivers. The tablet has anti-shock covering, which explains all the metal and rubber frame and back cover. the tablet has a pen too but not the S Pen but a C Pen and it is made for the outdoors too (see photos after the break).

Samsung UNPACKED 2014 Episode 2 Berlin now on YouTube



The Samsung UNPACKED 2014 Episode 2 live event is not up on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. For those who have not watched the event during the time it was streamed, then head over after the break to watch the whole event. When I wrote about both the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge (include the Gear VR) I said it would be better to actually see the devices while they are being demoed. So this is your time. Enjoy!

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge - Specifications & Features



This, I am pretty sure, was unheard of. Never got into the rumor mill! Nobody saw this device to be unveiled by dear old Sammy. I like surprises, but this is way more than a surprise. The world's first mobile device with a curved display? If not, then Samsung's first mobile device (that is not a smartwatch) with a curved Super AMOLED display. [Edit] The Galaxy Round, I believe, took the honor.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - Specifications & Features


The next generation Galaxy Note device has been announced in Berlin at Samsung's UNPACKED 2014 Episode 2 event. For those who watched the unveiling and presentation of the device, you might consider this device as a minor update from the Note 3. But I would say that the real upgrades from the Note 3 to the Note 4 are in the inside. Like the Note 4's S Pen which is touted by Samsung to be twice more sensitive than that of the Note 3's "making writing with the S Pen feel like the real thing." Improvements to the Multi-Window have also been taken into consideration in the never ending quest of Samsung's refining process of their flagship devices. The Galaxy Note 4 is also Samsung's first Note device to sport 1440p display or Quad HD or 2560x1440 native display resolution. Also the device has been packed with the things that the consumers have loved about the Galaxy S 5, like the fingerprint scanner and of course the heart-rate sensor (which also doubles as a camera shutter button on the Note 4).

Samsung Gear VR - Mobile Virtual Reality


Earlier, during the Samsung UNPACKED 2014 Episode 2 event, Samsung unveiled 4 devices. The fist they unveiled is the Samsung Gear S, which we already know by now. The next is this one, the Samsung Gear VR. In partnership with Oculus, the Gear VR is Samsung's first virtual reality device. Now, I am not really an expert or whatever with virtual reality but since this is Samsung City, I am obliged to inform you. The device will be available via Samsung's online stores and select carriers within this year.

Swarovski brings the "bling" to the Gear S and apparently will make owners of the Gear S have the option to actually wear the smartwatch in formal events or where "bling" is appreciated.
