BE READY FOR NEXT GALAXY :


Mobile World Congress is a great opportunity to launch a new phone, because the whole industry is gathered there, according to Ben Wood, director of research at CCS Insight. But Wood thinks there is a second reason why Samsung is heading back to Barcelona. Reports that Apple is announcing the next iPhone in June have compressed the launch window for competing products that want to get a head start, he said.

 Reports say the Galaxy S5 will have a 5.2-inch screen with a 2560 by 1440 pixel resolution and a 16-megapixel camera with optical imaging stabilization. Potential processors include a new in-house Exynos chip or Qualcomm's recently announced Snapdragon 805 processor, which has four cores running at up to 2.5GHz and is expected to be available in commercial devices in the first half of 2014.

Samsung also recently launched a new chip that will make it possible for the company and others to build smartphones and tablets with up to 4GB of RAM. In contrast, the Galaxy S4 has 2GB and the more recent Galaxy Note 3 has 3GB.

Another important part of the Samsung's next head smartphone is the design. The Galaxy S4's plastic shell wasn't well liked by reviewers because it made the device feel less premium than competing products such as the HTC One and Apple's iPhones.

"The design of Samsung's next flagship phone has to be substantially different from the Galaxy S3 and S4," said Wood.

As the high-end segment of the smartphone market becomes more saturated, vendors will have to work harder to get users to upgrade to a new phone. The overall smartphone market is expected to grow by almost 20 percent this year, compared to 38.4 percent in 2013, according to IDC.

. Last week, the company announced it was joining forces with retailer Carphone Warehouse to create 60 dedicated Samsung stores in Europe, hoping that will help keep the growing competition in the Android smartphone market at arm

                            Note 10.1: MULTISCREEN TABLET:

Multiscreen allows you to run two apps at once on the same screen; however, the apps you can can choose from are limited to a specific six (S Note, Polaris Office, Video Player, gallery, Email, and the Android 4.0 browser) -- unfortunately you can't swap in any app you'd like. The thought behind the feature is to give you the ability to create content by pulling assets from one app into another. 

     With palm rejection, as long as the S Pen is in your hand, the screen will not feel any other capacitive parts of your body, in particular your palm. So unlike other stylus pens, where your palm disables the pen, with the S Pen's technology, you can place your palm flat down on the screen and still write to your heart's content.  

The most  significant hardware feature on the Note 10.1 is easily the S Pen. The S Pen looks like a traditional stylus and pretty much feels like one too, but differentiates itself from lesser digital pens. The pen's tip sports a pressure-sensitive sensor that recognizes 1,024 levels of pressure. Samsung says the original Note only got as high as 256. So, depending on the app you're using (not all apps support this), the harder you press the pen on the screen, the thicker the resulting lines.

                         There is a Wi-Fi-only version and a 3G-enabled model, both powered by Samsung's own Exynos 5 Octa chipset, as well as an LTE-capable tablet with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 800 chipset ticking inside.

Main disadvantages

Nothing is perfect,So it also has some pitfall that Samsung need to be more concentrated 

as it has

• No NFC
• No DivX and AC3 codec support
• Air view works with S-Pen only, no thumb support
• Notification area not optimized for the large screen

but all and all it takes the technology to the next level but To date, no tablet maker has completely nailed the concept of a work-capable slate. Is the Note 10.1 2014 Edition the one to do it? We'll discuss precisely that in the pages ahead.
