The Samsung Galaxy S5 Leaks In A Big Batch Of New Photos Ahead Of Official Announcement
The Samsung Galaxy S5 will get its official debut in just a few hours at a special event in Barcelona at this year’s Mobile World Congress, but you can see what it looks like right now thanks to a massive leak of photos coming from two different sources, includingSaudiAndroid and HardwareZone. The pics show a device that remains very similar to previous generations, with a strongly dimpled plastic back, larger display and built-in fingerprint scanner.
The S5′s dimensions put it squarely between the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4, allowing for the larger 5-inch diagonal display that has been rumored already. The original Galaxy Note, you may recall, had a 5.3-inch diagonal display, which means the main flagship is approaching the original phablet’s dimensions slowly but surely.In the pics, we also get a peek at some of the new software features of the Galaxy S5, including a “Download Booster” which apparently uses both LTE and Wi-Fi to speed up sizeable downloads of over 30MB, as well as the fingerprint scanning app itself. The device also apparently has IP67 water and dust-proofing, which should make it a very rugged device indeed, and that it carries a 16-megapixel camera on the back. Expect that camera to have some other special powers, as there appears to be potentially a small secondary lens or some other kind of sensor living next to the flash now.
Nokia joins Android bandwagon, unveils 3 smartphones
NEW DELHI: Nokia has unveiled its first three Android smartphones, after several turbulent years that saw the Finnish manufacturer lose its top spot in the mobile market as Google's free OS became the biggest mobile software in the world.
All three Android phones by Nokia - X, X+ and XL - run on a 'customized' version of Android operating system and will not have access to Play Store. This means that those looking for a number of popular.Android apps will still not have access to these.
Nokia XL, the biggest of the three new smartphones, has a 5-inch screen, 768MB RAM, 5MP autofocus camera with LED flash on the back and 2MP front camera. On the other hand, Nokia X and X+ have 4-inch screens and 3MP fixed-focus cameras, said former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop while unveiling the devices; the former has 512MB RAM, whereas the latter has 768MB of RAM. All three devices will run on a 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, have access to 3G networks and have display resolution of 800x480p. Nokia will offer a 4GB microSD card free with X+ and XL smartphones, but not with the entry-level Nokia X.
The company has also not innovated much by way of design for the new range and carried over the monobody design of its Lumia series in the new Android smartphones. The three models will also feature expandable storage.

Why the smartphone address book is making a billion-dollar comeback
Weary of noisy social networks filled with mundane updates from the most remote acquaintances, millions of people have turned to their smartphone address books - and the diverse array of messaging services that rely on them, like Snapchat, Secret, Kik and WhatsApp - for more intimate social connections. Now the stampede toward those messaging services has Silicon Valley's giants scrambling to catch up.
Being able to tap into this address-book messaging is a major reason why Facebook decided that WhatsApp, the most popular of these services, was worth as much as $19 billion. In announcing this week it would buy WhatsApp, Facebook is betting that the future of social networking will center on not just broadcasting to the masses but also the ability to quickly and efficiently communicate with your family and closest confidants - those people you care enough about to have their numbers saved on y ..
Facebook has long defined the digital social network, and the average adult Facebook user has more than 300 friends. The company's strategy has mostly been about making that circle of friends even bigger, cajoling users into combining their friends, former friends, co-workers, second cousins and everyone they've ever met into a single, ballooning social network.
