Samsung Galaxy S4 Price | Samsung Galaxy S 4 Will Cost More Than iPhone on AT&T



Samsung’s new Galaxy smartphone is expected to pose a serious challenge to Apple’s iPhone. But shoppers may be turned off by the Galaxy’s higher price tag.
AT&T on Thursday said that customers can order the Galaxy S 4 on April 16 for $250. That is $50 more than the cheapest iPhone 5 on a contract. Generally, the price tag is the most important factor when consumers consider purchasing electronics, so the $50 difference between the starting prices of the two phones may steer AT&T customers toward the iPhone.



It is unclear why the Galaxy S 4 costs more than an iPhone. Samsung’s last flagship phone, the Galaxy S III, matched the iPhone’s price. Jan Dawson, a telecom analyst at Ovum, pointed out that according to estimates by IHS iSuppli, a components research firm, the parts for the Galaxy S 4 cost more than the iPhone 5’s. The S 4’s bigger screen, new processor and new sensors are adding to its cost, according to iSuppli.
AT&T and Samsung did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The iPhone 5 was the best-selling smartphone model over the holiday season, but Samsung, which sells multiple models of smartphones, is the biggest seller of smartphones in the world over all. Analysts have said the Galaxy S 4, which will be available on all four major American carriers, presents a major challenge to the iPhone, especially overseas. But they agree that the iPhone is likely to retain the No. 1 spot in the United States this year.

Google Android now Translate for adds offline language support

Heading out of the country with your Android phone? Consider upgrading to the latest version of Google Translate for Android, which now supports offline language translation.



Using Google Translate just became much easier for travelers having a hard time finding internet access while abroad: Google announced the addition of offline language support for the Android application. Fifty languages gain the offline support, which does need to be first enabled while online. After that, however, no web connection is needed to use the translation program.

Google says the offline translation dictionaries found in the new version “are less comprehensive than their online equivalents” but that’s a small price to pay. And in the future, I could see the offline language data grow in scope as flash storage decreases in cost while expanding in capacity.

While the new feature is handy in areas with limited data coverage, I see the biggest use case for travelers. Often finding, paying for and configuring connectivity on a smartphone can be challenging in another country; particularly for users based in the U.S.

By pre-installing the proper offline language packs, you can be chatting and translating right away upon arriving in a new land. The limited translations should get you communicating until you can find a persistent connection and then you can use the app’s full online capabilities.

Why & How iOS is More Secure Than Android?

Android Vs Iphone
How iOS is More Secure Than Android?


In 21st Century, cyber-wars have changed the paradigm of how internet and mobile technology in future will be vulnerable to security threats. Apple has always emphasized that iOS is safer to safest Mobile OS on earth, Google has also gone on roof-tops to say Android is safer, let us analyze Why &Â How iOS is More Secure Than Android, I will also be sharing some alarming stats if you are thinking that your data and privacy is safe with Phone in your pocket.

Today the most private and valuable info in Mobile are:

1. Your location
2. Your Likes and Dislikes
3. Your Contacts
4. Your Important Data and files
5. Your Financial Details



How iOS is More Secure Than Android?







 

 







 

Why is Android more Vulnerable ?






















1. Due to its open platform writers are creating more malware for Android
2. Android allows un-verified third-party Apps to run on Android
3. The Security lapses in structure of Android are more
4. Experts have tested Android latest update JellyBean, iOS still wins

Last year, Android had 30,000 Malware vulnerabilities this year it saw a elevation to 175,000 malwares.

Why iOS is more Secure?


1. Apple told you, If you jailbreak you’ll compromise your privacy and security, So your Security remains intact until and unless you use Apple Certified Apps on Apple App store.

2. Apps approved via Apple App Store, will not Spy your like/dislikes or your location to commercialize and capitalize on them.

3. The Architecture of iOS programming has been improving right from iOS 2 in terms of more firm security with developing threats.

4. The access control to the apps â€" Apple from the first day has emphasized on this, Late Steve Jobs, discarded all third party apps which are not approved by Apple, Experts used to pronounce it as monopoly then, lately, it has surfaced that those restrictions today give Apple users more Security than the Popular Android.


With iOS you know:

1. Your data is not being used
2. While your phone has internet connectivity no third-party App is accessing your credit card details, social media accounts or your important data

Facebook for Android gets ability to change cover photos, News Feed and messaging improvements -




Facebook for Android


                                     Last week Facebook began offering automatic/silent updates to selected users on Android devices, now it’s returned to the regular Google Play route to add a series of new features that bring its Android app in line with recent changes to the iOS version.

 
 
Now Android-toting Facebook users are able to change their cover photo directly from the app, and — in an effort to avoid clutter — they’re also able to hide stories from their News Feed and report spam. That’s very much in tune with Facebook’s latest refresh of News Feed which highlights visuals and brings a unified look to all mobile and Web clients.
Additionally, the Android client now requires “fewer taps to start a group message”, continuing Facebook’s focus on its private messaging system. The company has made a number of changes to its standalone Messenger app — in a bid to compete with mobile chat apps — and it makes sense to give users more fluid control of messaging from within the dedicated Facebook mobile app itself. this updates first show in http://myandroidsoft.blogspot.com/ only.
You can grab the updated app via the link below. or see our Top Android App

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs BlackBerry Z10: Which Phone is Right for You?

 
 
 


The Samsung Galaxy S4 has finally been unveiled. But its debut comes just days before the BlackBerry Z10 is set to hit the U.S. So how do the two phones stack up?

Display
The BlackBerry Z10 has a smaller display, 4.2 inches to the Galaxy S4's 5 inches. But bigger isn't always better, as people with small hands will attest. However, the S4's screen is also much more detailed. It boasts a 1920x1280, 441 ppi display. The Z10 has a 1280x768, 356 ppi display.

Processor
These are a bit harder to compare, as it seems likely the Galaxy S4 will come in two different versions, each with a different processor, and we're not sure which version is for the American market (though it's likely the Qualcomm).

The S4 will have an impressive eight-core Exynos 5 Octa processor, though some versions may run a more standard Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, about equivalent to the 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 in the BlackBerry Z10.

Storage
The Galaxy S4 has up to 64 GB on internal memory and an SD card slot that can accommodate up to another 64 GB. The Z10 has only 16 GB of internal memory, but the SD slot is the same as the S4. Few people need a ton of extra memory on their phone, so it's not that important.

Operating System
The Z10 comes with the totally revamped BlackBerry 10 operating system. Most reviews say BB10 is an excellent debut, and very polished for a first effort. BB10 also has fewer apps available than Android, and the ones that are on offer sometimes don't live up to the Android counterparts. But BlackBerry loyalists who miss BlackBerry Messenger should love its newly updated features, such as video calling.
The Galaxy S4 will come with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, the latest current build. But Key Lime Pie is due out soon, so fans are hoping the S4 will be fast-tracked for an upgrade.

Camera
The Z10 has a typical 8 megapixel camera. It's good. The Galaxy S4 boasts a 13 megapixel rear-facing camera and the ability to take photos and video with both cameras at the same time.

Price
The Z10 will cost $199 with a two-year contract on AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile. An unsubsidized, no-contract Z10 just dropped to $689. There's no word on the price for the Galaxy S4 yet, though $199 with a two-year contract is a possibility. But $249 or even $299 wouldn't be surprising either.
In the end, the BlackBerry has lucked out. The Galaxy S4 is more of a slick update to the S III, not a complete rebuild, so anyone with a S III now may not feel like they're really getting a new phone. While the Z10 falls short of the S4's specs in several places, most of the S4's bells and whistles aren't dealbreakers. And the Z10 is probably cheaper.
So if you're a BlackBerry loyalist from back in the day, or you just want to try something new, the S4 shouldn't prevent you from getting a Z10. If you want bleeding edge tech, the S4 is where it's at -- for now.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on the Asus Nexus 7.
On June 27, 2012, at the Google I/O conference, Google announced Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). Based on Linux kernel 3.1.10, Jelly Bean was an incremental update with the primary aim of improving the functionality and performance of the user interface. The performance improvement involved "Project Butter", which uses touch anticipation, triple buffering, extended vsync timing and a fixed frame rate of 60 fps to create a fluid and "buttery"-smooth UI. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean was released to AOSP on July 9, 2012, and an OTA update for the Nexus 7 to Android 4.1.1 was released on July 11, 2012, making it the first device to run Jelly Bean.
