Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S5 has “the best performing smartphone display” ever tested by the experts at DisplayMate Technologies.
The company today published its latest report which compares the new flagship against its predecessor, the Galaxy S4, and Samsung’s high-end phablet the Galaxy Note 3 — and it beats them both in every way possible.
HTC has confirmed that the new HTC One M8 has a hidden “High Performance Mode” that’s activated automatically when it runs a benchmark test. The company says it’s a feature for those with a thirst for power, and it has explained how users can enable it manually if they wish to do so.
Samsung hopes to attract new parents to its upcoming Galaxy S5 with a built-in “baby crying detector” that provides a vibrating alert when it hears a crying baby.
The new feature, which wasn’t mentioned during Samsung’s press unveiling in Barcelona last month, is just of one of many Galaxy S5 accessibility options designed to help those with a hearing impairment.
Just a couple of days ago, the folks over at iFixit did a complete strip down of the new HTC One (M8) revealing all its internals and mentioning that the handset is extremely difficult to repair. Now, a Russian website has managed to disassemble the One’s (M8) chief competitor — the Galaxy S5 — revealing all its internal in their full glory.
If you’ve watched any of those Galaxy S5 or HTC One M8 unboxing videos that are now taking over YouTube, then you’ve probably seen their new startup screens that proudly display a “powered by Android” logo.
Google is now forcing handset makers to display this logo in a supposed effort to raise awareness of the Android brand, with many third-party interfaces making the platform unrecognizable.
