Smartwaches Gear 2

Smartwatches with the Android operating system in September 2013 ago, Samsung reportedly is preparing smartwatches with Tizen operating system.

Reuters news agency reported that Samsung will introduce two smart watches in the format of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain, last February. The product will be named Galaxy Neo Gear 2 and 2, in which one of them will continue to use Android.

Both products are experiencing increasing their number of features, including a remote control can be a television, a fitness feature that monitors the pulse rate, and music player functions. However, Reuters reported, watches draw Neo 2 is not supplied camera components.

The second product launch schedule of this watch is very fast, less than 6 months after the Samsung Galaxy Gear market the first generation. Galaxy Gear got a lot of criticism in terms of features and users find it difficult to use. This product has not been evaluated to define the meaning of a "smartwatch".

Samsung to develop Tizen so as not to completely rely on the Android operating system created by Google. This operating system is a project of the Samsung with Intel and the Linux Foundation since mid-2012.

Tizen is a mobile operating system project was open (open source) that is built on the core program (kernel) Linux.

Support of enterprise technology for Tizen Tizen shows great potential to compete with mobile operating systems available today, especially Android are also built with the Linux kernel. Today, Tizen has reached development version 2.2.1.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Boster

There are new findings are quite surprising. Reportedly, Samsung is doing a special trick for performance Galaxy S4 looks more powerful than the actual condition.

This is evident from the results of the site investigation Anandtech. The site explains that the Samsung infuse 'booster' that only work on the specific application, in this case is a benchmark application that is often used for testing.

So when the application is active, then the Galaxy S4 automatically work at an optimum level in order to produce a fantastic score. Unfortunately, the performance can not be obtained when used for daily applications such as processing, instant messaging, social media, and a certain number of games.

Because when the normal state S4 GPU clock at 480 MHz only work, whereas when tested with GLBenchmark 2.5.1, AnTuTu or Quadrant, speed up to 532 MHz.

Samsung processor clock set also has the same properties, ie 500 MHz when idle and can go up to 1.2 Ghz at work are conditioned maximum. But the nature of this CPU is also found in other chips, namely Qualcomm.

In other words, Samsung has optimized the Galaxy S4 for various benchmark applications, but not for everyday use. Because the GPU and CPU in it is only designed to work optimally on a particular application that they have registered, not the application as a whole.

"The Benchmark seems to get special treatment in order to manage the temperature and increase the score. But this is not going to come by consumers in the real world," said Kevin Krewell, Senior Analyst dariLinley Group and Senior Editor of Microprocessor Report to AllThingsD.
