Samsung Galaxy S5 now available for just $260 in US

Posted on by

Samsung’s flagship from 2014 – the Galaxy S5 – is now available for just $260 (unlocked) in the United States. Daily Steals is selling the device at that price, with color options including white, black, and gold.

The discount is on the G900A version of the handset, which is compatible with GSM/LTE carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile – those on Verizon and Sprint are out of luck. A quick look at the Daily Steals’ listing for the device reveals that the deal ends in 3 days.

That’s a nice discount, given that third party retailers like Amazon and NewEgg are selling the same model at way higher prices – the former is selling it for around $350, while the latter has it listed starting at $300.

Couple, una app para compartir con quien más quieres

Posted on by

Reseña couple

Couple es una aplicación social y de mensajería instantánea enfocada en la comunicación entre parejas. Básicamente es una herramienta para conectarte con tu compañero sentimental, un espacio donde hablar en privado, o simplemente compartir fotos. Te contamos más a continuación.

Algo más que un Whats App limitado

En primera instancia, puede parecer una idea un poco tonta para una aplicación puesto que, después de todo, podemos hacer todo esto con otra app de mensajería como puede ser Whats App , Telegram o Facebook Messenger, pero, son los detalles y añadidos que trae consigo, lo que la diferencian, y la hacen útil e interesante. No es para todo el mundo, habrá gente a la que le baste con las apps anteriormente mencionadas, pero para los más ñoños y cariñosos es una forma divertida de estar en contacto.

Aparte de un chat privado, trae diferentes funcionalidades que la hacen destacar. Podemos compartir nuestra ubicación rápidamente, hacer saber al otro que estamos pensando en él mediante un botón y enviar archivos multimedia, audio video y fotos, que, de un a manera parecida a Snapchat, aparecerá mientras pulsamos la pantalla, aunque podemos habilitar esto opcionalmente, pudiendo enviar todo de forma normal. También podemos crear recordatorios para planear citas, excursiones o cosas más simples como recados.

Además de estas características, encontramos el modo de pintura compartida, donde podremos garabatear en tiempo real con nuestra pareja mediante internet, o, el modo Thumbkiss en el que los creadores de la aplicación intentan crear un punto de contacto físico teniendo que tocar el mismo punto de la pantalla al mismo tiempo, se podría decir que es un beso en linea. Incluso, podemos echar una partida al tres en raya.

En resumen, una app pensada para estar más cerca de nuestra pareja. Según sus desarrolladores, es de ayuda para las relaciones a distancia, aunque nosotros no podemos llegar a decir tanto, simplemente, es una forma diferente de comunicarnos con la persona que amamos, aunque para algunos, como comentábamos antes puede resultar una moñada.

Sea como sea te animamos a que la descargues. Por probar no pasa nada.

IDC: Samsung retains leadership in smartphone shipments for both Q4 and 2015

Posted on by

Samsung was the top smartphone vendor worldwide last quarter, capturing 21.4% of the market, up from 20% it claimed last year, according to latest data revealed by market research firm IDC.

The South Korean company shipped a total of 85.6 million smartphones in Q4 2015, up from the 75.1 million figure it reported in the same quarter the year prior. On the other hand Apple, which retained its second spot, shipped 74.8 million iPhones last quarter, claiming 18.7% of the market. Huawei, Lenovo, and Xiaomi rounded up the top five with 8.1%, 5.1%, and 4.6% share, respectively.

Talking about 2015 as a whole, there wasn’t any change in the rankings – Samsung was still at the top with around 325 million smartphone units shipped, followed by Apple, Huawei, Lenovo, and Xiaomi, shipping 231.5, 106.6, 74.0, and 70.8 million units, respectively.

Chinese smartphone manufacturer Huawei reported the strongest year-on-year growth in the top five. “Usually the conversation in the smartphone market revolves around Samsung and Apple, but Huawei’s strong showing for both the quarter and the year speak to how much it has grown as an international brand,” said Melissa Chau, Senior Research Manager with IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker.

“While there is a lot of uncertainty around the economic slowdown in China, Huawei is one of the few brands from China that has successfully diversified worldwide, with almost half of its shipments going outside of China. Huawei is poised to be in a good position to hold onto a strong number 3 over the next year.”

Total global smartphone shipments in 2015 stood at over 1.4 billion, up 10.1% compared to…
