Yesterday, Samsung unveiled their range of Universal Flash Storage (UFS) 1.0 memory cards to the world and they will have significant advantages over micro-SD cards that we use now. These are specifically targeted towards D-SLR and 3D VR cameras, along with action cameras and even drones! Apart from the standard 32GB, 64GB and 128GB variants, the UFS 1.0 cards will offer even a 256GB variant.

If you are like us, you must be wondering what advantage it will give you over traditional micro-SD, when using it in a smartphone. The answer to that is better 3D gaming on phones that use their external memory as the first choice and faster, smoother 4K and VR media playback. The UFS card will read data at a speed of 530MBps, which will put it in the same category as a standard SATA Solid State Hard Disc used in full fledged computers! To give you an idea of the speed, consider the fact that the next time you are transferring a movie on to your UFS card, every GB of data will just take 2 seconds to write onto it. That's five times more than what micro-SD cards are capable of right now and very impressive.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 may sport a bigger display than the Galaxy S8+, but only just at 6.3-inches, according to a rumor on Weibo. Given that the S8+ already sports a humongous 6.2 inch display, we are not exactly complaining. However, this report does contradict previous reports which stated that the Note 8 will possibly sport a 6.4-inch display, which would have brought it to about the same size as the bezel-less Xiaomi Mi Mix from 2016.

The aspect ratio will remain the same at 18.5:9, as reported by the rumor. Although most other specifications mentioned by the rumor remains constant with what has so far been predicted by leaksters and enthusiasts around the internet, this particular report suggests that the Galaxy Note 8 will neither be the first, nor be the only Samsung device to sport a dual camera setup at its back in 2017. The Galaxy X foldable smartphone will allegedly debut before the Note 8 with a dual camera module. We are very apprehensive about the authenticity of this one though, because of two reasons. Firstly, the Galaxy X rumors have been going around forever, without any solid reason to believe that it's about to come out anytime soon. Secondly, it would make no sense for Samsung to debut its first dual camera setup ever on an experimental smartphone ahead of the immensely popular Note line-up. Stay tuned to YouMobile for more updates as they develop.

Mobile online casinos are nothing new, they still represent undiscovered territory for online players which should not be the case. Just like playing on any online betting site, mobile betting platforms are not anything different, on the contrary, they are usually the same just designed to fit smaller screens of portable devices and even provide players with extras.

Play Via Favorite Device

 

Just like any online gaming site, mobile casinos will usually have the same or a similar layout designed to fit smaller screens of tablets and phones. This also includes cutting away usage of external devices as keyboard, mouse or a touchpad are not needed in this case. It is already all there built in your portable device as it is. With mobile casinos, it is now possible to bet, raise, fold, check, double up or split just using your touchscreen and the software keyboard on the mobile gadget.

Mobile casinos players get a completely new experience including:

• Accessibility. Online gamblers are no longer tied to a single place. Play card games anytime anywhere

• New, simple and practical way to play your favorite table game. No need to point and click anymore, everything is already there on the small screen of the portable device
• Special mobile user bonuses. Players downloading gaming apps get bonuses available for them only

• A new way of depositing. Online gaming sites already have a bunch of options for depositing that make it easy for gamers to refuel their accounts or deposit for the first time, but there is a new way with mobile gaming. Mobile players have the opportunity to deposit through mobile (SMS) billing.
• Notifications. Players get noted through email, SMS or pop-up notifications when there is a new bonus available. Just like regular online gaming sites with deposit bonuses, welcome promotions, reload bonuses and others, it's all there at mobile gaming sites as well.

Mobile Game Availability

 

Mobile casinos are already far spread and can be visited by any portable device, be it a phone or a tablet, all you need is a smart device and an internet connection and you are good to go. For passionate online gamblers, there is no need to be tied to your home private computer or dragging your laptop everywhere around whenever you want to play a few hands of your favorite card game, poker, blackjack, baccarat or other. With mobile casinos, you now have full access to your favorite games wherever and whenever you want it. Although most of the mobile gaming sites are available on all platforms, users should check compatibility of the mobile gaming apps they download, whether on Windows Phone, Apple, Blackberry, Android, etc. With Android gadgets, it should be the easiest since its users can open any web page through their web browser just like on a PC or a laptop.

Card Mobile Games

 

Playing card games have never been easier. While a hand of poker is ongoing you have a full view of everything happening at the virtual table. In the center of players gadget screen everything can be seen, from stack sizes, pot value, number of players in the hand, button position, just like sitting at the real poker table. Most mobile apps will have play buttons at the bottom of the screen below the table. Fold, Call and Raise controls are there at one touch of a finger. If gamers wish to increase their raise there is a scale for that. For not so lazy users or the ones that want to, for an example, three-bet a specific amount, one tap on the value of the raise will bring out the mobile keyboard to type in the exact raise amount. At the top of the screen, gamers have access to app settings, lobby button to go back to the app main menu, hand history etc. This is the usual layout of a mobile poker table and can differ from app to app. Everything users want or need to control is there with a simple touch of a screen. The same can be said for blackjack, baccarat and other table games. Mobile Blackjack layout is same as a real blackjack table that fits the portable accessory screen from edge to edge, corner to corner. Specific chip values are offered to gamers to measure their bets precisely by pressing different values and then the bet button at the bottom of the screen. Stand, Split or Hit controls are also there making it really easy to play the 21 game.

One Step Forward

 

With mobile gaming, there is no more need to sit at the work table and operate the PC or carry around a much heavier laptop compared to any portable device such as a tablet, phone, blackberry. Players can now sit back in the comfy sofa at home and play. Going through a really long trip and want to kill some time? Mobile gaming works outside just fine. Developer's effort to make online gaming sites suitable for portable gadgets result in a much more user-friendly environment. Mobile gambling is the next step forward for online gambling sites.
