Samsung Calls iPhone Users “Wall Huggers”
GalaxyS5 , smart phones / July 8, 2014

In a rather comedic video published on YouTube (see below), Samsung is calling Apple iPhone users “wall huggers” — referring to the device’s poor battery life which often forces users to remain plugged into power outlets. Of course, this isn’t the first time Samsung has dealt a low blow to Apple (and it probably won’t be the last). In previous advertisements, Samsung has taken shots at the iPhone smaller screen size and lower resolution. The Galaxy S5 features a bold 5.1″ display, while the Apple iPhone is 20% smaller at just 4″. The truth is that both the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Apple iPhone 5S get roughly 10-11 hours of talk time on a single charge. So, why is Samsung launching a “wall huggers” video campaign against its rival? The Galaxy S5 boats a unique battery saving feature that’s not found in the Apple iPhone. Using this feature can drastically extend the life of the Galaxy S5’s battery, far surpassing that of the iPhone 5S. Video: “Wall Huggers” Check out the video above, which was uploaded to YouTube by Samsung Mobile USA. It shows several different people whom are forced to keep their Apple iPhones connected to wall outlets in…

Comparison , GalaxyS5 , smart phones / July 7, 2014

Originally unveiled last month, the Nokia Lumia 930 is being touted as the “The most complete Windows Phone to date. It’s the first to properly challenge the flagship might of Android and iOS with its impressive design, new Windows Phone 8.1 software and all round decent specs.” That’s a pretty bold statement considering its use of the Windows mobile operating system. But how exactly does Nokia’s latest flagship smartphone compare to Samsung’s Galaxy S5? Display The Galaxy S5 features a 5.1″ Super AMOLED display with 1080 x 1920 pixels, whereas the Nokia Lumia 930 is just a hair smaller at 5″ with the same 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution. The Nokia Lumia 930 does not have Super AMOLED technology, but rather basic AMOLED. Processor There’s no denying the fact that Samsung’s Galaxy S5 is powered by one of the best mobile processors currently available. It features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor for superior speed and performance. The Nokia Lumia 930, on the other hand, is powered by the slower Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor. If you’re looking for a blazing-fast smartphone that’s capable of multitasking with half a dozen or more different applications, stick with the Galaxy S5. Camera One of…

We knew it was coming; we just didn’t know when. Numerous websites and smartphone industry experts hinted to a smaller, slimmed down version of Samsung’s flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5, claiming it would not only be smaller in size but also cost less. Well, we now have an official confirmation by Samsung that a Galaxy S5 Mini is on its way. On July 1, 2014, Samsung officials confirmed the rumor of a Galaxy S5 Mini variant. But they didn’t just confirm its existence, they also said that it was launching NOW. Yep, you don’t have to wait around for weeks or even months, as the Galaxy S5 Mini is launching now. Samsung officials noted, however, that it may take a while for new variant to reach certain markets. Now for the million dollar question: is the Samsung Galaxy Mini worth buying? We haven’t tested the device for ourselves, but Samsung released hardware and software specs, most of which look pretty good. It’s important to remember Samsung designed the Mini variant to appeal to a more budget-conscious group of consumers — people who aren’t willing to shell out $600-$700 for a Galaxy S5. The Galaxy S5 Mini features a smaller 4.5-inch screen…
