Phoenix arises from ashes !Note 2 will be receiving official lollipop update!

As you may know, the Sasung flagships from Note 4 to S4 have already Started received the tasty treat. But what's next for Samsung?

Samsung's websites for Finland and Denmark are giving us some interesting information about which devices the company plans to bring Android Lollipop to next.

Well, it turns out the Korean company also plans to bring Lollipop to the Galaxy Note II

We've already heard about Lollipop making it to the Galaxy S5 Mini, as well as the Galaxy Note II - but another official confirmation is good to have. 

As for the Galaxy Note II, it's nice to see Samsung still care about a device that's two and a half years old.

Rollouts Note II are apparently scheduled to happen "later in 2015", and unfortunately no more specific details are available right now.

What Exactly is Root!

IF YOU ARE AN ANDROID PHONE USER YOU WOULD HAVE COME ACROSS THE WORD ROOT.THERE MANY MISCONCEPTION RELATED TO ROOT IN PEOPLES MIND!
SO LETS SEE WHAT EXACTLY ROOT IS AND WHY IT IS 'SAID' TO VOID WARRANTY WHAT ARE ITS ADVANTAGE SAND DISADVANTAGES!

MEANING OF ROOT!:
ROOT IS BASICALLY GETTING PRIVILEGED ACCESS TO THE SYSTEM OF THE PHONE OR IN BETTER WORDS GETTING 'ROOT ACCESS' TO THE PHONE. TO MESS WITH THE SYSTEM YOU NEED ROOT ACCESS TO IT, BY ACQUIRING ROOT ACCESS YOU BECOME THE 'SUPER-USER' OF THE SYSTEM AND YOU GET THE PRIVILEGED RIGHTS TO MODIFY THE SYSTEM AND TUNE,CUSTOMIZE CHANGE MODIFY IT ACCORDING TO YOUR TASTE .ROOT HAS MANY ADVANTAGES LETS HAVE A LOOK AT THEM!
 ADVANTAGES OF ROOTING YOUR ANDROID YOU CAN HIGHLY CUSTOMISE YOUR PHONE YOU CAN SAY IT CAN TAKE CUSTOMISABILITY TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!
YOU CAN EDIT ANIMATIONS CONTROL EVEN YOUR PROCESSOR !
SOLVE MEMORY ISSUES TAKE ADVANCED BACKUPS,EVEN CHANGE THE WHOLE OS!!
YOU CAN HIGHLY IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE AB BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST ANDROID VERSION!

The big.LITTLE technology! The key aspect of OCTA-CORES!

MOST OF THE SMARTPHONES NOWADAYS DONT REQUIRE MORE THAN 1.7GHZ SO RATHER THAN INCREASING THE POWER BY INCREASING ITS FREQUENCY MORE CORES ARE ADDED TO DISTRIBUTE WORK AND HENCE REQUIRE LESS FREQUNCY OF PROCESSING!MULTI CORES ARE MUCH BETTER EXPLAINED ON MY ARTICLE OF MULTICORE PROCESSORE !

SO FOR HEAVY MULTITASKING AND HANDLING HIGH GRAPHIC GAMING A LOT OF SIMULTANEOUS PROCESSING IS REQUIRED HENCE THE NEED OF OCTA CORE PROCESSORS COME WHICH CAN HANDLE HEAVY MULTITASKING EVEN AT A LOWER PROCESSING FREQUENCY!
THE NEXT THING IS THE VERY COMMON ASPECT OF OCTA CORES IS big.LITTLE TECHNOLOGY !
OBVIOUSLY SO MANY CORES WOULD REQUIRE MORE POWER1BUT WHAT IF ONLY 4 CORES POWER EFFICIENT ARE ACTIVE WHEN THERE IS LOW LOAD ON THE CPU AND ALL 8 CORES ARE ACTIVE WHEN THERE IS NEED?!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE big.LITTLE TECHNOLOGY DOES!IT KEEEPS THE CORES ACTIVE ACCORDING TO THE NEED AND THE LOAD KEEPING POWERFUL CORES ONLY ACTIVE WHEN HIGH PERFORMANCE IS NEEDED AND ALL 8 WHEN THE CPU IS COMPRESSED WITH HUGE LOADS!SO THIS IS THE WAY OCTACORES SAVE POWER!

NOT TOO LATE!LOLLIPOP UPDATE HITS MOTO X FIRST GEN !

Motorola has been diligent in updating its recent devices to Lollipop soon after Google released it. In fact, some devices, such as the second generation MOTO X and MOTO G , got the update even before some of the Nexus devices. However, while almost all the other Motorola devices are now running on Lollipop, the first generation MOTO X  is still on KitKat.
BUT THE WAIT IS NO MORE!
THE UPDATE HAS STARTED HITTING THE FIRT GEN BEAST AND WILL SOON BE SEEING OVER THE GLOBE!

Lollipop Bang!Android 5.1 starts rolling out for nexus devices!

For all you Android Lollipop users out there, Google just began pushing out its first major update to its Material Design-dressed OS, and unlike some updates that are usually just for "stability and performance," Android 5.1 actually comes with some stuff you're definitely going to want to know about.

So, let's take a look at the five best new features Android 5.1 brings to your smartphone or tablet...

1.MEMORY LEAK BUG FIXED(THE BUG WHICH SHOW U SOME RECENT APPS EVEN AFTER CLEARING THEM!)
2.SILENT MODE RESTORED(SORT OF)
3.ADDED SELECTING WIFI AND BLUETOOTH NETWORKS IN QUICK SETTINGS PANEL ITSELF

6.PERFORMANCE AND STABILITY MODIFICATIONS AND VARIOU BUG FIXES


THE UPDATE HAS STARTED ROLLING OUT AND SHOULD HIT ALL NEXUS DEVICES OVER THE GLOBLE WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO! CHECK YOURSELF HOW 5.1 MAKES LOLLIPOP EVEN SWEETER!

DON'T GET FOOLED BY NUMBERS

SOFTWARE
How often do we judge the smartphones by their  outer specifications and not the software version running on it.
To make the idea clear take two phones having same specs and different software builds.Dont be surprised! They both vary in performance,yes they do?
Apart from checking the software version,Buyers should check the ROM which is running on the phone.
Android is opensource and every company using android can modify it and add its own flavour to it.
For example Samsung's touchwiz,HTC sense
This modified builds of android gel good with high end phones.But low end phones struggle for stability and smoothness as this Roms are full of high end features.
Phonemakers should have a toned down version of their software for low end phones.
This was all about performance.Now coming to other aspects
CAMERA
9 out of 10 people judge smartphones capability by the megapixels it has.
The number of megapixels is only one aspect relating to the quality of a camera, or the actual quality of a photo it is capable of producing. Factors such as camera,sensor and processor, and the optical quality of a lens, play equally important roles.

Other elements determine the quality of photos and prints. They include:

1.Good lighting of a subjectProper focus and exposureImage clarity (lack of blur due to camera shake or incorrect shutter speed)

2.Shooting at the highest resolution and quality camera settings

For example below photos are

PROCESSOR

We get quadcore phones for below 10000 .Ooh wait! We have got an octacore processor on a phone at Rs 9000.MICROMAX EUREKA.But does that make it better than nexus 6 or nexus 5.No wait that's where the catch is.Yes they have 8 cores but which one.there are different types of cores like cortex A7,cortex A9 and cortex A15.Mostly in the low-priced phones the cores are of cortex A7.
Micromax eureka-

Nexus 5-Cortex A15.

So I hope the next time you buy a phone you will consider the above points.

SO THESE WERE THE BEAST UNLEASHED BY HTC AND SAMSUNG WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SONY'S Z4 NOW!

The Darker Side of Touchwiz!

Samsung has sure become one of the leading smartphone manufactures in the recent years .

Samsung smartphones are mostly android overlayed with its own skin well known as Touchwiz.

touchwiz is equipped with lot of features and a lot of modifications by samsung that would improvise the android experience to the next level .It provides you a lot of cool apps like s-voice s-planner etc.

So Touchwiz is excellent isnt it?

Sadly the answer is No!

With all those features it should be an excellent UI isnt it ?!

But all this come for a price!

THERE RE 5 BIG REASONS FOR THIS:

1.TOUCHWIZ IS SO COMPLEX SYSTEM THAT IT ACCUMULATES A HELL LOT OF DATA POINTER CACHE THAN STOCK ANDROID WHICH WILL MAKE YOUR PHONE START LAGGING IN A FEW MONTHS (EVEN SAMSUNG'S FLAGSHIP DEVICES FACE THIS 

LIKE S5 )IF YOU SAY THAT "TOUCHWIZ IS BEST" TO A CUSTOM ROM DEVELOPER HE WILL PUNCH YOUR FACE!

SO THIS MEANS YOU WOULD NEED A WIPE DATA EVERY 4 MONTHS SO THAT YOUR PHONE RUNS SMOOTH ENOUGH

  

THERE IS MORE TO IT!

2.   GOOGLE'S ANDROID FACTORY IMAGES(THE FIRMWARE)

      FOR ITS DEVICES JUST SIZE UP TO 440MB APPROX

      BUT SAMSUNGS TOUCHWIZ FOR IT S5 SIZES UP TO 1.5GB!!!!!

      THATS ABOUT 3 TIMES THE SIZE OF THE ANDROID SYSTEM

      THIS CLEARLY SHOWS HOW HEAVY THE UI IS!!

3.   NEXT ISSUE OF SAMSUNG IS ITS BLOATWARE(UNNECESSARY APPS):

IF YOU PICKUP ANY DAMN SAMSUNG PHONE YOU WILL FIND A HUGE BUNCH OF  USELESS APPS THAT UNECESSARILY TAKE UP YOUR SPACE AND EAT A HELL LOT OF YOUR RAM WHICH DRAGS DOWN THE PHONES PERFORMANCE!

CYANOGENMOD IS A WELL KNOWN THIRD PARTY ANDROID ROM AND THE SIZE  OF ITS FIRMWARE IS HARDLY 250MB!

I WAS ONCE DEVELOPING A CUSTOMISED TOUCHWIZ FOR GALAXY S2

AND WHEN I REMOVED ALL OF THE UNNECESSARY BLOATWARE FROM THE  PHONE

THE FIRMWARE SIZED SQUEEZED TO JUST 350 MB FORM 1GB

AND THIS FREED ABOUT 150 MB MORE OF RAM(THATS HUGE NUMBER FOR P HONES WITH <1GB OF RAM!)

4.   SAMSUNG'S LOW AND BUDGET END PHONES ARE ALSO EQUIPPED WITH THE   HEAVY TOUCHWIZ .THESE PHONES HAVE LIMITED MEMORY RAM AND    PROCESSING POWER SO ITS NATURAL THAT THEY CANT HANDLE THIS HEAVY   SOFTWARE AND WILL EVENTUALLY LAG HANG LIKE HELL IN A VERY SHORT  TIME AS THEY HAVE LIMITED CAPABILITIES AND DOESNT MEET TOUCHWIZ'S   REQUIREMENTS!

5.   THE LAST THING IS SAMSUNGS USELESS GIMMICKS :

LIKE THE HEARBEAT SENSOR AIR GESTURES WHICH EVEN LOAD THE FIRMWARE    MORE .THESE FEATURES ARE JUST USELESS PIECE OF SHIT WHICH PEOPLE DONT  EVEN USE!

BY NOW YOU MIGHT HAVE UNDERSTOOD THE TRUE FACE OF TOUCHWIZ
