As you probably know, Google will host a press event in less than an hour in San Francisco, where the Mountain View-based company is expected to introduce Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and the next-gen Nexus 7 tablet. The Android 4.3 Jelly Bean launch event will be hosted by Sundar Pichai, head of Android and Chrome, but most important it will be streamed live on YouTube so all of you can watch it.

Now that Vine is no longer the only app with video sharing abilities with Instagram moving in on Vine's action using a base of over a hundred million users, a connected pro camera with direct access to Android apps makes a lot of sense. Enter the Android-powered Samsung Galaxy NX.

Yesterday Apple introduced the latest version of their operating system iOS 7 and for those of you who are running the latest version of Android, a lot of them will look very familiar because they were part of Android first.

So today was the official release date for the Samsung GALAXY S4 mini GT-I9190 and the device comes with a very similar design to the all mighty S4 but with lower specs, so instead of talking about it i'll will be comparing it to the older Galaxy S3 mini. lets talk some specs:

The third generation of the GALAXY Tab Series has arrived and it's looking good! First, Let's talk design. One thing I have noticed is that there are a lot of similarities to the Samsung manufactured Nexus 10, and if you look back at devices like the original GALAXY Tab, The tab 2 and the note 10.1, you will notice quite an improvement which sadly - wink wink - canno't be said to the iPhone/iPad latest models which decided to stick to the same good'ol design.

Did you miss Google I/O keynote from yesterday? Since Google decided not to do a day 2 keynote, they packed everything into day 1, From Google+ to Chrome to Android and even Google Maps. The entire thing ended with a Q&A session with Larry Page which was a highlight for me.... I must say though, it was long…really long.

Despite being such an “open” mobile operating system, all Android phones in the market today come with a few limitations. These are actually safety mechanisms put in place for more security and to ensure that (inexperienced) users don’t mess up their devices. For enthusiasts, though, these safety mechanisms are limitations. Limitations that limit how they get to use a device they own, rooting is how users can lift these limitations and use the device the way they want to and not how the manufacturer wants them to.

To Root Or Not to Root?

Folks at Samsung are preparing what I'd like to call the smartphone of the year. Following their yearly upgrade cycle we’re expecting to see the Galaxy Note 3 be revealed sometime in September at IFA 2013, and until today we’ve been getting conflicting reports on the hardware. The leaked image below gives us an idea of what to expect, which is more of the same, only they’ve beefed up the internals again.


By what we’re seeing and hearing it sounds like Samsung will do the same with the Note 3 as they did with the Galaxy S4. Upgrade the screen and internals, but keep the design language the same. We’ve heard a 6.3-inch Note 3 was coming, but the current leaks suggest 5.99-inches will in fact be the final size, The 6.3-inch device is apparently in the making but Samsung will release it under the fresh "Mega" line-up.

Rumors earlier this month “confirmed” Samsung was working on aluminum or premium hardware materials to replace their plastics, but according to the above image that won’t be happening very soon. The device looks like a larger Galaxy Note II. So with that in mind, lets talk about under the plastic design, which are some pretty impressive specs.

As the rumors suggest, Samsung will use a 5.99-inch 1920 x 1080p full HD display, then boost everything else under the hood too. Most importantly Samsung will be adding 3GB of RAM to the Note 3. Yup, 3GB of RAM. The Galaxy Note 3 will run the Exynos 5 Octa 8-core processor clocked at 2.0 GHz on four cores, and 1.2 GHz on the other 4. Sounds like a beast right? 8-core smartphone with 3GB of RAM. That’s just nuts.

For now this hasn’t been confirmed, but given what we’ve seen lately from Samsung this could very well be what they unveil at IFA in a few months time. That’s one massive phone. Would you buy one? with specs like these, I'm going to!
