In another attempt to break new ground, Samsung unveiled earlier this month a smartwatch called Galaxy Gear, which can take photos and videos, make or take phone calls, or check e-mails.Wearable computing, including Google’s smart glasses, is considered the next frontier in consumer electronics following cheap smartphones.The watch received some scathing reviews, along with complaints that it only worked in conjunction with Samsung’s latest oversized smartphone, the Galaxy Note III.
The Gear and the Galaxy Note III will hit stores in some 140 nations by the end of October, and Samsung executives said they were confident the critics could be won over.“We received so much criticism when we first unveiled the Galaxy Note series...but it has created a whole new market segment for oversized cheap smartphones,” said Lee Young-Hee, executive vice president of Samsung’s mobile unit.
D.J. Lee said the watch would be made connectable with other Samsung devices such as the flagship Galaxy S3 and S4 smartphones by the end of December.nv4sdd2sd
For many years, high-end smartphones were judged and critiqued based predominantly on their specs. It’s understandable, given that hardware leaps used to have such a noticeable impact on their performance. Each new release was faster and more powerful than the last.
So when Motorola finally revealed the Moto X earlier this year, it didn’t take long for people to look beyond the colors and personalized design options andcompare its internals with other high-end smartphones. The Moto X has mid-range specs and despite Motorola’s efforts to justify each component, manyquickly denounced the handset’s relatively high price-point.
Defenders will claim that it’s the overall experience of a cheap smartphones, not the internals, that truly matter. The counter-argument is that these people wouldn’t support or voice that opinion if the smartphone in question had cutting-edge specs. In short, a poor excuse for a problem that could and should have been fixed.
Perhaps manufacturers will find a better way of explaining how these internal upgrades will impact the next generation of smartphones. A battery that genuinely lasts 24 hours. A camera sensor that records perfect low-light images. These upgrades can be appreciated by anyone and have clear implications for how we use smartphones on a day-to-day basis.
“Anyway, we are sure to sell more than 15 million cheap cell phones for sale this year, with at least three million being the Find 5.”The new phone, N1, has a swivel 13-megapixel camera that can be turned facing forward or backward, which Oppos says is superior to front mounted cameras. It also has a touch panel on the back of the cheap smartphones to make self-portraits easier.
