Samsung Galaxy S IV Should Be Like This [Hot Rumor]

Apparently there are many rumors said that the next monster phone made by Samsung which is also the successor of Galaxy S series will not come out in the next year. But many people hope that Samsung Galaxy S IV will be released in the last 2013. This is planned in order to give space for the current flagship phone Samsung Galaxy S III to reach worldwide and make the owners satisfied.

But rumor is still rumor. The truth lies on the Samsung's hand wether they will release the next flagship phone in the early year of 2013 or not is still unknown. But one thing for sure, the specs that will be put on the the next flagship will also be must amazing sure enough.

Even it’s still likely months until we see the Samsung Galaxy S IV, but talk about it has already started and once that ball starts rolling it’s hard to stop it. This time, we have a wishful concept for the next Galaxy S Android flagship and it’s a looker.

Some of the features like an even lighter and slimmer body seem possible, others like the laser-projected keyboard we’re plain tired of seeing - it’s not going to happen, folks.

Before we start commenting, though, you’d better first take a look at the specs and the beautifully produced concept video below. Here are the wishful specs for this S IV specs:

Specification:

• Android 4.2 Jelly Bean Touchwiz
• 5 inch 1080p Full HD Super Amoled + Display
• 2.0 Ghz A15 Exynos 5450 Quad CPU
• ARM Mali T658 GPU
• 13 MP Rear with 2 MP Front Facing Camera
• Standard Battery Li-Ion 3100 mAh Battery
• 16/32/64 GB Internal memory options
• Removable SD Card Slot Up to 64 GB
• Corning Gorilla Glass 3
• 2 GB DDR3 RAM
• 4G LTE Connectivity
• Multi Purpose/Dedicated Camera Button
• Bluetooth 5.0
• Front Speakers

The only thing that seems like a lock is the 1080p display. Looking at all other manufacturers, it almost seems like a sure fact that Samsung will also have to use a 5-inch 1080p display to be relevant.

A Samsung Exynos 5 processor also is almost certain to be inside the handset, and we’d bet on a quad-core version, if only because of the buzz word that quad-core has become. 2.0GHz, though? We doubt it as it’d be too much of a hit on the battery.

And when it comes to the camera sensor, having a 13-megapixel one definitely won’t solve anyone’s problems, what matters is the quality of the camera.

With all that, we have to admit that the concept is really beautifully made and it’s worth a look, if just for that. What are your wishes and expectations for the Samsung Galaxy S IV?

Make Your Mobile Phone Secure with Insurance ? Is It Worth ?

Today, we may be safe walking on the street bringing our daily phone everywhere because of job makes us with. Sometime we need to consider about how if someone stole our phone, With mobile phone theft soaring, should you add yours to your household insurance or go for standalone cover? We scan the market for the best policies.

For many years Guardian Money has warned of the pitfalls of buying mobile phone insurance, which can be pricey and often has more get-outs than an escape artist.

Claims can be turned down for any number of reasons – such as if you fail to report the loss within 24 hours, or if the theft in the street was not accompanied by an actual threat of physical violence. Phones taken from schools or from public spaces, often including public transport, are rarely covered … and so on.

This led us to conclude in the past that mobile phone insurance wasn't worth the money, especially when handset costs weren't that high.

However, with the latest smartphones – particularly Apple iPhones – now costing around £600 to replace, we have had to reassess. A quick look on internet chatrooms shows there is huge interest in finding a cheap way to insure smartphones, but no one appears to have come up with a stand-out policy.

The simplest way to cover a handset is to buy your phone network's own policy. But these can be very expensive. Buy an iPhone 4S from Vodafone, and its Cover Me insurance costs £12.99 a month, or almost £312 over a two-year contract. Orange charges a similar £12 a month.

A cheaper option is to buy cover from one of the plethora of firms now offering to insure smartphones. Away from the big-name retailers, two of the best-known are Foneguard and TalkCover, and they offer insurance from £5.33 and £6.66 a month respectively for iPhones. Again there are plenty of exclusions, and in the case of TalkCover, there's an excess of £100 for an iPhone claim.

Undoubtedly the cheapest option is to add the phone to your home insurance, usually as a "possessions outside the home" extra. This could cost as little as £30 a year, and there will be other benefits.

You need to check the excess on the policy – again, it could be £100. However, you should weigh up how likely you are to claim. Contents insurance now gives significant no-claims discounts, meaning your premium could shoot up if you make a claim. You may take the view that you would rather not have your iPhone tangled up with your home insurance.

The best option we have found is Barclaycard's Gadget Insurance. You don't need to be a card carrier to insure the latest iPhone for £5.99 a month, or just under £72 a year. A BlackBerry costs £1.49 a month, and an iPad, £4.88. There's a £50 excess for iPhones, other smartphones and iPads, and while the policy has several notable caveats, it isn't quite as full of exclusions as some. It includes accidental damage. As with any policy, make sure you go through the small print.

If you have had a good or bad experience with Barclaycard's insurance or think there's a better policy out there, email money@guardian.co.uk

Lastly, follow these simple precautions to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of theft:

• Watch out for people on bikes and mopeds, and don't use your phone if someone could whizz by and grab it.

• Don't check your phone as soon as you leave a tube or train station – leave it a while, or walk into a shop.

• Don't text and walk – you will be less aware of what is happening around you.

• If you're talking outside, stand with your back against a wall so no one can come up behind you.

• Register your phone and other property at immobilise.com – it can help recover your property and capture thieves. You will need your phone's IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number, which you can find by typing *#06# into your phone.

BlackBerry N-Series QWERTY Shows Up Without Navigation and Menu Buttons

Here comes another live photos of the new blackberry phones. The one in which will be released in full touch screen and another one will be released in QWERTY keyboard.

Only a few days after its touchscreen sibling made a couple of appearances, RIM's BlackBerry N-Series smartphone emerged in a duo of live photos. The soon to be revealed BlackBerry 10 smartphone packs a hardware QWERTY keyboard in addition to its capacitive touchscreen.

As you can see in the photos above, the BlackBerry N-Series looks a lot like the currently offered Bold 9900, save for the lack of navigation and menu buttons, which have given way to a larger screen. The QWERTY appears to be unsurprisingly well-made and comfortable, so the BlackBerry purists should have a good reason to look forward to the device.

The BlackBerry N-Series is all but certain to launch alongside the BlackBerry Z10 on January 30 in New York City. We will update you should we hear more about the upcoming device. So let't wait for the price then.
