If you ever thought that Samsung has nothing new in his pocket, then take a look at the new edge of divinity coming together with Note 4 specifications, as “two in one” device. The edge indeed looks like something special, though you can have your own opposite opinion, when read the entire article up to the end.
The Galaxy Note 4 was awaited as a sequel to Samsung’s brand phablet series and should really comply with all of the customer’s hopes, but nevertheless, the company has gone much further adding a premium section inside the Note’s range curving right side of the display for additional customizable functions letting you be unconcerned about the privileges it grants.
From the first sight you can capture yourself thinking about the annoying edge to be a gimmicky feature to attract your attention only. But Samsung has pledged it with a quick access service to speed up your device roaming ability on the 5.6 inches display, which is only 0.1 inches less than Note 4. But be sure that the missing one-tenth of an inch will make your accessibility much easier allowing you to switch instantly to your new messages or notifications even during the movie screening not affecting the whole picture for your eyes impression.
Standing together with Note 4, the Edge will have the same specifications, as 16-megapixel front camera with optical image stabilization function, the Snapdragon 805 processor as the inner power and the amazing QHD AMOLED display that will be fed by the 3200mAh battery source inside.
If you are not using your right hand as the main controller, the only solution you have is to turn the device 180 degrees up, but forgetting to use the center home button as always, making it a little bit defect for every user in the world. Another missed issue is an unavailability to pair it with Virtual Reality gear headset, which Note 4 is capable for.
We have to consider the special device only as a limited product, because the apps for it require special tuning to fit the special physical requirements it bears along. But if you want to be a “special” smartphone holder, then nothing should stop you eventually.
Samsung said that the Galaxy Note Edge smartphone will be available in the US for $400 with a two-year contract or $946 off-contract starting November 14.

It seems that the new rumors have pierced through the internet and a new tablet called Nexus 9 is slightly revealed to us. Who could actually be the real maker of this device you ask? Well, Google could give it to anyone, for example, to Asus or Motorola, but the choice is actually done in favor of HTC, the one which already failed with the Flyer – a 7-inch tablet at $500 cost in 2013.
A new Nexus – a name that was already used plenty of times – is created under the code name of “Flounder”… and it actually coincides with a well-known to us Nexus X with a code name “Shamu” - the killer whale from the history of entertainment. So we guess Flounder and Shamu could be good friends.
So the display of Nexus 9 should be 9-inch IPS LCD at a 1920x1200 pixel resolution. Processor is meant to be NVIDIA Tegra K1 Denver (64-bit), just like the NVIDIA Shield Tablet. Free given storage is ought to be 32 GB with microSD card adjustable space. A rear camera with 8 megapixel will be accompanied with 1.6 megapixel front one.
A date that has been announced cannot be said strictly, therefore we can expect it in October in order not to tell you false dates at all. The price is expected to be around $400, which is quite fascinating for such a device. If any more news arrives on board, we will surely tell them to our visitors.

The company Qualcomm, better known as a manufacturer of mobile processors has launched own SmartWatch.

So the Toq SmartWatch pointless play off with Samsung GALAXY Gear that die after 24-25 hours.
Largely low power consumption is achieved through Cortex M3 processor with a frequency of 200 MHz to provide own operating system. Another elegant solution is a built-in inductive charging WiPower allowing to charge the device without connecting any cables (Qi standard). In the set will be shipped watch, the headset and the arena which serves as a wireless charging - it's convenient.

Reading e-mails, messages, receive incoming calls and hang up, control your music player, view news and weather, stocks, counting steps or calories, various notifications and reminders.
Qualcomm hasn't yet special hopes of Toq, so the device will be released in limited quantities and only in the United States. The new gadget is available exclusively on the official website of the company for $350.
