Android Go is Android One?

You could hear about Android One project from Google. A few years ago, the company launched the program that was intended for budget smartphones, like Moto G and others. However, over time, the platform has not found its users, and manufacturers continued to release budget smartphone on regular Android system.

Android Go has roughly the same intent as Android One. Google calls new system as simplified version of its original mobile operating system. It is like Windows 10 S for budget laptops.

Android Go system is intended for smartphones with 512 MB ( or 1 GB) of RAM. Moreover, Google says that phones with a little RAM will automatically download Android Go out of the box.

What about applications for Android Go?

All popular Google Play apps will be optimized to run on weaker hardware. One of the first apps for Android Go on Google Play is the lite version of YouTube Go.

It allows users to preview and choose the quality of the video, before it starts playing. One of the main features of YouTube Go is to download videos for offline viewing. The great feature is already available in YouTube Go app on Android Go smartphones.

Also the first places in Google Play Store will be those applications that require little RAM and mobile traffic for operation.

What we do not know about Android Go

There are a few other things about Android Go that Google did not mention at presentation. Most importantly: will third-party manufacturers be able to install new OS? Second, how users can change the default Android version to Android Go?

The new system is focused on developing markets, like India. It is a country where mobile Internet is much faster than desktop, so budget smartphones are very popular there. We do not yet know in what other countries and markets the new system from Google will work.

Android Go release date

What we can say for sure today is that Android Go is not expected until 2018. We hope to find out more details in the near future. New lightweight Android version is very important for Google, because budget devices attract more users to Google search and other services.

As we remember, LG G4 has a leather back cover and an amazing 16 megapixel camera. The smartphone was released in April 2015, so we have time to talk about the next generation flagship LG G5. We expect that the new smartphone will have a better processor, battery, metal body and iris scanner.

We have collected all available information about the smartphone LG G5.

LG G5: Release Date

Most companies hold the annual cycle of release smartphones, so we can calculate when LG G5 will be presented.

LG G4 was announced April 29, 2015, while LG G3 – May 28, 2014. On the basis of these dates, we can assume that LG G5 will be available until the summer of 2016. However, it is worth considering that the LG G2 was introduced in September 2012, so we will have to wait about 9 months, but the probability of this is very low.

Source from Korea says that the release date of LG G5 is scheduled for the first quarter of 2016. Our bet that LG G5 will be shown at the end of February at the Mobile World Congress 2016.

LG G5: Price

LG has reported that LG G4 sold with a small profit. Price of LG G4 is $750 for the standard model or $800 for a model with leather back panel.

LG reported for earnings and sales of smartphones, which are not as good as expected the Korean manufacturer. The loss for the third quarter 2015 amounted to $66.2 million.

In addition, it is worth considering that the LG increases the cost of each of the next flagship, so we expect that LG G5 will cost a little more. As you remember, the price of LG G3 was $720 at the official start of sales.

LG G5: Design

LG has plans to use the premium design for the smartphone LG G5. While many manufacturers of mobile devices have long been switched on metal design, LG still uses a different combination of materials.

Sources of Korea reported that LG G5 will come with all-metal construction.

The concept above shows how the smartphone might look like with a solid metal body and rounded edges on the rear panel.

We do not expect that LG will continue to produce smartphone with leather back panel, as is difficult to combine leather and metal in one package.

LG G5: Display

Every year, the size of the screen increases, and if the LG G4 has a 5.5-inch display, the LG Nexus 6 comes with a 6-inch screen.

Screen LG G4 has a resolution of QHD, so we expect at least the same resolution for the LG G5. There is a possibility that LG may go the way of Japanese competitor Sony and to use 4K resolution. Although it is theoretically feasible, but then the price of LG G5 will increase significantly, and Korean company plans to get much more profit from the smartphone LG G5.

User of social network Weibo, leakster Zealer, says that LG G5 will have a 5.6-inch QHD screen. Display Technology is still unknown, but as far as we know, LG preference for LCDs.

LG G5: Specifications

At the moment, there was no leak of information about the processor, memory, or internal storage, but we can think logically.

If the LG still uses the products of the company Qualcomm, then LG G5 is equipped with a processor Snapdragon 820. The main features of the new processor is improved 4G data transfer rate up to 600Mbit / s, faster Wi-Fi with support for MIMO 4×4 and 14nm build to improve efficiency and battery life.

RAM to 4GB is considered the most comfortable and accessible to the world’s leading smartphone.

The internal memory must be more than previous models of the smartphone as one-piece design will not allow the manufacturer to add support for MicroSD cards.

LG G5: Camera

LG G4 holds a very high bar for mobile camera, thanks to high-quality 16-megapixel sensor and aperture of F/1.8. However, Samsung has recently demonstrated its technology Britecell, so the LG needs to develop the next innovation.

According to sources from Weibo, LG can use 21-megapixel sensor. Also, LG G5 company can be equipped with 8-megapixel front camera.

LG G5: Iris Scanner

Many Korean sources claim that the LG G5 will be equipped with iris scanner for user authentication.

We know that the company is developing a technology called Irience. The algorithm is already working, and the equipment is ready. The scanner is able to identify the individual diaphragm at a distance of 50 cm.

LG G5: Battery

At the moment, nothing is known about the battery LG G5. We think that LG G5 will be equipped with wireless and fast charging.

New Qualcomm processor supports fast charging. Furthermore, if a manufacturer chooses port USB Type-C, then the user will get the most rapid speed of data transmission.

LG G4 has a battery capacity of 3000mAh. If the screen size of LG G5 will remain the same, and to take into account the fact that the smartphone will have more efficient processor, then the battery life should be increased.

Every year, usually in September, Apple released a new iPhone. We decided to collect all the leaks and rumors about the iPhone 7 and an older model iPhone 7S.

Release date

It is too early to talk about the launch of the new smartphone Apple, however, given the trend of the last few years, we can say that the iPhone 7 will be presented during the second half of 2016.

Every year Apple holds its own event immediately after the IFA in Berlin. However, Apple has never visited the exhibition and use it as a launching platform. IFA 2016 exhibition will be held from September 2 to September 7, 2016.

iPhone 6S was presented on September 9 which was the last day of the exhibition IFA 2015. We can assume that in 2016, Apple will hold its event on September 7 on the last day of IFA 2016.

Design

Apple has used the design of the previous generation of smartphones with the release of iPhone 6S. Every two years, smartphone iPhone receives a significant change in the design, so we can expect that the iPhone 7 will have a noticeable changes in appearance.

Rumors say that the iPhone 7 will be thinner than its predecessors. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the thickness of the iPhone 7 will be 6-6.5 mm, which is at least 0.6 mm less than the iPhone 6S.

Recently, the company from Cupertino has filed pattern on the D-shaped headphone plug, which will make the smartphone much thinner. However, if there are already available headphones with a Lightning port, it is possible that Apple removed headphone jack at all.

There is speculation that the iPhone 7 will be made of a series 7000 aluminum. Apparently, the next generation iPhone will have a non-metallic frame with waterproofing and dustproof features.

Other sources say that Apple bye to the button Home on next-generation smartphone iPhone 7, while the Touch ID will be placed over the entire surface of the display.

Screen

As we mentioned, iPhone 6S has a new technology 3D Touch and more than likely that the iPhone 7 will use this technology.

Currently, there are three dimensions of the smartphone iPhone – 4-inch, 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch. It is unlikely that Apple will update the iPhone 5S, so we bet on the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch.

IPhone 6S has a display resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, while the iPhone 6S Plus display has a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. At the moment, there is no claim that Apple is going to increase the resolution of the displays for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7S, but Mac Otakara says that the next generation iPhone will have a “full flat” LCD display.

Camera

Apple increased the number of megapixels in cameras iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, so we do not expect significant changes to the camera iPhone 7.

Nevertheless, we would like to see new features. Apple recently acquired a company called LinX, which develops 3D sensors. According to MacWorld, next-generation iPhone will be to have a depth sensing, 3D scanning and refocusing after a shot.

Specifications

With every new iPhone comes out a new processor. Currently, iPhone 6S equipped processor A9, so we expect that the iPhone 7 will have a processor A10, with the coprocessor M10.

There were also reports that Intel and Qualcomm are competing for the contract to produce the new LTE chip for the iPhone 7. In addition, the site Weibo said that the new iPhone chip 7 will have six cores instead of two in the current iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S plus.

In terms of internal memory, we hope to see the iPhone 7 model with a minimum of 32 GB. As you know, Apple does not use a MicroSD card slot, and we do not expect to see this feature in the iPhone 7.

Software

In this case, there is no doubt that the iPhone 7 will run on the new operating system iOS 10.

Conclusion

At the moment, we believe only a few things when it comes to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Firstly, smartphones will be presented in September 2016, and secondly, they are equipped with a processor A10 and thirdly, the next generation smartphones will run on iOS 10.

Samsung Galaxy S6 has been on sale for a few months, however, we can look forward in anticipation of the new smartphone. That is what we now know about the release date, price, characteristics and so on.

Samsung Galaxy S7: Release date

Release of the new flagship smartphone Galaxy S Series is easy enough to predict. Samsung announces the new device on the eve of MWC, the international exhibition of mobile devices, which is held in March each year in Barcelona.

It seems that we will have to wait for MWC 2016 to see a demonstration of Galaxy S7 at the official press conference. However, rumors say that the smartphone Galaxy S7 can be released earlier.

According to South Korean news agency Newsis, Samsung started developing a new gadget for three months earlier to realese it in the second half of this year.

Samsung Galaxy S7: Price

Samsung does not publish the prices of its products beforehand , so we will know the price Galaxy S7 in the store.

As you may recall, Galaxy S6 at the start of sales cost $ 950, it would be surprising if the price Galaxy S7 will be much higher. We expect that the price Galaxy S7 will be a little over $ 1000.

Samsung Galaxy S7: Design

Samsung Galaxy S6 received a significant upgrade in design, so we do not expect that the design of Galaxy S7 will be radically changed. Some rumors say, that the smartphone will be bigger than Galaxy S6.

We believe the rumor that the smartphone will have a curved design as the Galaxy Note Edge and Galaxy S6 Edge. The curved screen can become the standard for smartphones Samsung.

Recent flagships such as OnePlus 2 and Nexus 6P are equipped with a USB Type C, so we assume that the Galaxy S7 will also have USB Type C

Galaxy S7 will be made of another type of metal, based on the magnesium alloy. The new material will make the smartphone more durable and easier. The case of Galaxy S7 receive some combination of premium metal and glass.

Samsung Galaxy S7: Display

Asia Today reports that the Galaxy S7 will be available in two sizes: 5.2 inches and 5.8 inches. However, benchmark AnTuTu appeared Samsung smartphone with codenamed Lucky with a 5.7-inch screen and a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels.

Kbench suggests that Samsung is developing a solid display technology called Turtle Glass, which will replace the protective glass Corning Gorilla 3.

Recently there is news that a new smartphone will have display ClearForce. Company Synaptics developed a pressure-sensitive screen, similar to the new Apple’s 3D Touch. Samsung has always been interested in the latest technology, and it is obvious that the pressure-sensitive screens are exactly the technology that is used in their new developments.

Samsung Galaxy S7: CPU and memory

We can say that the question of the processor is still not resolved: will Samsung use its own processor or return to Qualcomm?

In fact, Samsung thought about working together with Qualcomm to produce Snapdragon 820 with 4-cores Kyro and clock speed 3 GHz.

There are crazy rumors that Galaxy S7 will get 6 GB of RAM, but we are of the opinion that 4 GB is more than enough. The internal memory is likely to be 32 GB. We also hope that Samsung added a slot for micro SD cards.

Samsung Galaxy S7: Camera

Some sources say that the camera of new Galaxy S7 will have 30 megapixel sensor. We cannot completely dismiss that possibility, but we do not believe it.

Instead, we expect a standard 16 megapixel camera, but with improved optical stabilization and software improvements such as full manual mode settings.

Samsung Galaxy S7: Software

At the moment, little is known about the future of the smartphone operating system, though easy enough to predict that it will come preloaded with Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Google plans to release a new version of its mobile operating system later this year, so Samsung will have enough time to use it for its new flagship model. Galaxy S7 will have proprietary interface TouchWiz and we hope that it will be simple and functional, like his predecessor.

Apple expects to release its first electric vehicle in 2020. The company’s goal is ambitious enough. Lacking experience in the development of vehicles, it plans to build it in less time than do existing market players.

Apple plans to begin mass production of its first electric vehicle in 2020, Bloomberg reported, citing a source familiar with the plans of the company. He argues that the vendor puts the goal for the team in the design of the machine.

Usually manufacturers spend up to seven years to develop a new car model iMove. Apple plans to make it faster. This suggests that the company has ambitious goals, and it intends to allocate for their achievement maximum resources, says Bloomberg.

The newspaper added that Apple intends to compete with Tesla and General Motors. Both of these companies are going in 2017 to release electric vehicles, capable of overcoming the distance of 320 km on a single charge. The cost of such a machine is expected to be $ 40 thousand.

Author of The Powerhouse market batteries for electric Steve Levine (Steve LeVine) shared with Bloomberg, that the output of Apple’s market electric vehicles will lead to a significant increase in sales in this market. He also expressed doubt that GM will be able to compete with the Tesla. “Apple will” – he said.

A few days ago, an American entrepreneur and investor Jason Calacanis (Jason Calacanis) predicted that Apple would buy a company Tesla – manufacturer of electric cars – for 18 months, and the transaction amount will be $ 75 billion. The reserves of cash and cash equivalents from Apple today is about $ 178 billion.

Earlier, in February 2015 it was reported that Apple is working about 50 former employees of Tesla, mostly engineers specializing in mechanics, conveyor production and robotics.

One concept car Apple, called the author iMove

In early February, in the vicinity of San Francisco was seen listed on the Apple machine installed on the roof of the measuring equipment and four cameras. Media speculated that the company can develop rival Google Street View or test system of autonomous control.

A few days ago an American manufacturer of batteries for electric vehicles A123 Systems filed a lawsuit against Apple, accusing the company in luring top engineers.

Everything is a little tired of data about how the iPhone 6 will look like, then it is time to change the record. Media and change. Now editorials data about when will we see a novelty. According to recent information received, the gadget can be presented September 19.

Who is the source of rumors about the release date of iPhone 6

Chinese portal Tencent, citing insider sources, reported that the 4.7-inch smartphone will be released on Friday, 19 September (this was correlated with the previous rumors about the release: in May cellular operator Deutsche Telekom warned that its customers should expect Apple product from the same number.)

Price of a new iPhone 6

What is rather unusual is the fact that the Chinese own data only two variations iPhone 6 – 32 GB and 64 GB of memory on board. The first of these should be worth 5,288 yuan (or 846 U.S. dollars), and the second – 6,288 (1008 dollars). Interestingly, the current price on the 16 GB iPhone 5s in the Middle Kingdom – 5,288 yuan and 6,088 yuan – the price of 32 GB gadget. Does this mean that Apple will get rid of the very modest number, transferring the title of “most affordable” 32-GB model? Not excluded. It makes sense.

At the same time, despite a certain logic, have insider information from China and white spots. Thus, a 5.5-inch planshetofon not mentioned anywhere, while Bloomberg recently reported that both the smartphone will be shown in a single event. And yes, in September.

Also recall that Foxconn start mass recruitment , which could mean an early start of production of the new generation iPhone 6. Probably the assembly will begin in June.

The note MOJO console finally has a release date certain: it speaks of a limited availability as of December 10 of this year, with a launch price of around $ 250.

Has also been conferred the technical specifications hypothesized some time ago. There is talk of a hardware significantly higher than that present on its biggest competitor, OUYA. MOJO will be equipped with:

• SoC NVIDIA Tegra 4 @ 1.8 GHz
• 2 GB of RAM
• 16GB of internal memory expandable via microSD (up to a maximum of 128GB)

• Bluetooth
• Wi-Fi a / b / g / n, Ethernet port
• 2 full-size USB ports (1x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.0)
• Android 4.2.2

What will turn up their noses at many is the price of this console, set for now, as I said, to $ 250. A bit ‘too much for a device that must not cover the costs of a display and a battery. And what do you think? You could make a little thought of MOJO, the next frontier of the Android console?
