It’s Going To Be A Weird Month For ‘Destiny’

Posted on by

Last week, Xur Sold Gjallarhorn. To most people, the only barely intelligible word in that sentence is “sold,” and the other two are more or less unpronounceable. Even to people that know what the words mean, it might not seem that important: a vendor in a video game sold a special weapon. Okay! But it is, in fact, a big deal, at least where Destiny is concerned, and it’s going to make the game pretty strange for the next month: Gjallarhorn is, far and away, the most powerful weapon in the game, and now nearly everyone who cares to can have it.

Samsung confirma su cita para el IFA 2015: 3 de Septiembre

Posted on by

Logo IFA 2014

Durante la semana pasada, el fabricante con sede en Corea del Sur, Samsung, presentó, en un evento celebrado en Nueva York, dos de sus nuevos terminales. Estos dos teléfonos móviles inteligentes, vienen a ser los buques insignias de la compañía en lo que queda de año y seguramente hasta Marzo del próximo año, donde seguramente Samsung presente el Galaxy S7.

Estamos hablando del Galaxy Note5 y Galaxy S6 Edge+, terminales que los hemos visto en el blog y hemos dado nuestras opiniones al respecto. Samsung, tradicionalmente y últimamente, anuncia el próximo teléfono bajo la gama Galaxy S durante el Mobile World Congress y durante, la última feria del año sobre tecnología, el IFA 2015 de Berlín, la compañía coreana nos tiene acostumbrados a mostrar su nuevo Note.

Sin embargo, este año el nuevo Note ha sido presentado mucho antes de la llegada del IFA 2015. Esto nos ha hecho preguntarnos si Samsung tendría una presencia abundante durante esa feria celebrada en Berlín. Ahora salimos de dudas y es que, la compañía ha anunciado oficialmente que estará en Berlín dando una conferencia.

IFA 2015, ¿ Qué puede presentar Samsung ?

Era de esperar que Samsung estuviese presente durante la última gran feria ya que hemos visto varias filtraciones que muestran como los coreanos tienen dispositivos a presentar durante la feria. Uno de los posibles dispositivos que podría presentar Samsung, es su primer reloj inteligente redondo, el conocido como Gear S2. Este reloj tendría una pantalla totalmente circular, un marco delgado de aluminio y correas de silicio, estas correas podrían ser reemplazables, lo que daría un toque de personalización dependiendo el gusto de cada usuario.

gear s2

Otros dispositivos que podría presentar, son nuevas tabletas de gama alta bajo la marca Galaxy, así que no es de extrañar ver una renovación de sus Galaxy Tab. También hemos visto como la compañía está trabajando en una nueva gama de dispositivos, nombrada Galaxy O. Esta nueva gama llegaría bajo dos nuevos terminales, el Galaxy O5 y el Galaxy O7, de los que no conocemos ni su hardware ni su aspecto físico. Por último, Samsung podría presentar algo relacionado con las gafas de realidad virtual, las Gear VR.

Sea como sea, nosotros estaremos muy atentos a lo que anuncie Samsung el próximo 3 de Septiembre para ver que tienen entre manos. Esperemos que la compañía anuncie que su nuevo Note 5 pronto esté disponible en Europa ya que como bien sabréis, este último dispositivo no estará a la venta, al menos durante este 2015. Y vososotros, ¿ Qué pensáis que puede presentar Samsung durante el IFA 2015 ?

The next Apple iPad might come with a second-screen Smart Cover

Posted on by

What could be better for on the go entertainment and productivity than a spacious tablet screen? Well, a keyboard is quite helpful and why not one coupled with a comfy case. And as long as we are carrying around the extra case weight, why not a second screen?

If that sounds like a tantalizing idea then you are definitely not alone and as it turns out Apple’s next iPad and Smart Cover might be right up your valley. A new patent filed by the Cupertino giant describes just that – a Smart Cover, complete with a secondary display.

As we have learned time and time again, receiving a patent in the tech world means little in itself, but could still be indicative of a future intention. If the gadget does, however, turn out to be real and in the works, it could bring about interesting new possibilities and use cases, some of which are described within the patent, like having app notifications and widgets easily accessible, at a glance.

Speculations about the Smart Cover extend even further with claims that the smart accessory will, in fact, be unveiled together with Apple’s next tablet device. The alleged model in question is the iPad Pro, which is yet another unconfirmed rumor at this point, but has been around for quite some time now. The iPad Pro will allegedly be Apple’s biggest tablet to date with a spacious 12.2-inch or perhaps even 12.9-inch screen.

With that kind of screen real estate it is aimed squarely at other productivity-oriented devices, like the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 or the Samsung Tab S 10.5. However, the iPad Pro has proved quite elusive with initial rumors extending well into 2014 and even as early as 2013. At this point we aren’t really sure that a Pro series is even on Apple’s roadmap. As far as we know, the latest batch of speculations talk of a November 2015 release date and an A9 CPU, Force Touch, NFC and USB Type C.

We’ll just have to wait and see if any of this comes to pass or the alleged iPad Pro will miss a launch windows this year as…

Xiaomi Mi5 storms through Antutu with 73K score, Snapdragon 820 inside?

Posted on by

The Xiaomi Mi 5 started showing up in rumors way back in the spring, but all these months later it hasn’t yet materialized, at least not to the general public. After the MIUI 7 launch and the announcement of the Redmi Note 2, it was time for the Mi5 to break the silence, and it has allegedly appeared on the Antutu database.

Easy as these numbers are to manipulate (remember the hoax with the unannounced Samsung with 96K?), the Xiaomi Mi5 has posted a very believable 73,075 figure. The Exynos-7420-powered Galaxy S6/S6 edge are so far the front-runners in this particular benchmark and they score in the 70K ballpark, so a 73K number is plausible for a device coming out 6 months later.

That said, there’s still some debate as to the chipset inside the Xiaomi Mi 5. It has been widely accepted that it will be the all-new Snapdragon 820, but Qualcomm’s latest and greatest is not expected to be seen in a working device until H1 2016. That may stretch the life cycle of the existing Mi 4 up to two full years, and that’s hardly acceptable.

Alternatively, Xiaomi may have opted for a Mediatek Helio X20, which has been official for a few months and seems to be in a more advanced stage of its development. It takes the prevalent big.LITTLE architecture to another level and employs a tri-cluster CPU with a total of 10 cores. However, the TENAA certification page of the supposed large-screened brother Mi 5 Plus listed the CPU as having 8 cores, so we may actually get to see the S820 in a Mi 5 this November.

Whichever chipset is inside the Mi 5, the general consensus us that it will come with a 5.3-inch QHD display, 4GB of RAM and 16MP optically stabilized primary camera. A Type-C microUSB connector is also on the list of rumored specs.

The usual word of caution is due here as well – the above info remains to be confirmed by solid evidence.

Xbox One Vs PS4: Is It Really Even A Console War Anymore?

Posted on by

As we prepare to head into the holiday season, we ask ourselves: can Microsoft’s Xbox One possibly catch up to Sony’s uber-succesful PS4? At the beginning of this console generation, the two machines set up in an unquestionable head-t0-head rivalry: both companies drenched the media in advertisements, the blogs went wild, and one launched the week after the other in dueling blue and green. Things changed pretty quickly after that. The PS4 took off with unprecedented sales, leaving the Xbox One behind as Microsoft did several much-needed about faces and reconfigured the console to be something that would have a chance against Sony’s machine.
