Since the beginning of it, Smartphones displays always had bezels on both sides as displays getting bigger, bezels are getting smaller. New innovation is coming from Subor, a virtually unknown Chinese manufacturer has constructed an odd, proof of concept device, which really sounds more like a bad idea than anything else. The company claims that its latest Subor S3 model has no side bezels around the display whatsoever, which definitely sounds cool and looks nice, but is surely accident prone.
The fact of the matter is, that while a display, stretching from one end to the other, does looks very cool it is also really easy to shatter. Bezels typically play a structurally important role in modern day smartphone, so simply getting rid of them, like Subor did, falls more under the category of accidents, waiting to happen, rather than an actual formidable technical feat. A traditional, flat, non-flexible display is really fragile, especially around the corners, so you really want to covet those.
The Subor S3 is currently selling in China in either black or white for the price of CNY 1399, or about $225. Seeing how the phone is already available, we would have loved an actual photograph, but, sadly all the website offers for now is tacky renders.
Two of the hottest Smartphones in the market currently, the One M9 and Galaxy S6 Edge... Which one will you pick ? Can't decide yet!... Here's a Full Comparison between both devices.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
The new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is completely redesigned with a flexible curved display and metal chases unibody, font and back scratch-resistance Glass Panel.
The Galaxy S6 Edge sports a 5.1-inch Quad HD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels and 577 pixels-per-inch (PPI) with a curved edge on both the right and left sides on the display. These can be used for notifications and makes it easier to swipe in from either side. Samsung decided to use its own 64-bit Exynos 7420 octa-core processor with four cores clocked at 1.5GHz and four cores clocked at 2.1GHz... a clear departure from their past models that used a Qualcomm chipset in the US. It is packing 3GB of DDR4 RAM and Samsung's new flash memory with 32GB/64GB/128GB models with no room for expansion a first for Samsung's Galaxy S series. Both forms of new memory are extremely faster when compared to past models that used DDR3 RAM.
The camera is part carry over from the Galaxy Note 4 and the other part are new improvements 16MP Sony sensor, autofocus, LED Flash, F1.9 aperture, real-time HDR, ISOCELL technology and OIS. With the Galaxy S6 Edge, Samsung has dramatically increased the speed taking less than a second to open and be ready to shoot. The front-facing camera (FFC) increased to 5MP with a F1.9 aperture, real-time HDR for excellent low-light selfies and video chatting. The 2550mAh battery is smaller, but it should easily get you through the entire day the new Samsung non-removable battery can charge up to 4 hours in only 10 minutes and they added built-in wireless charging for the first time.
The Galaxy S6 Edge includes a new fingerprint sensor no more swiping your finger several times...just press once and you are done, heart rate sensor, an IR Blaster, active noise cancellation with an additional microphone, speaker on the bottom of the device and comes in colors White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum and Blue Topaz. It will be running Android 5.0 Lollipop, and should be released worldwide on April 10.
HTC One M9
HTC One M9 looks very similar to its predecessor, the One M8 and retains its all-metal body. But HTC adds some touches to the design leaving it a little better to look at, like the Dual-tone. HTC redesigned the body ever so slightly on the sides, leaving a small lip to help hold it better slipping out of the hand was a problem with the One M8.
It sports a 5-inch Full HD Super LCD3 display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and 441 PPI, not quite up to the QHD display on the Galaxy S6 Edge with 577 PPI. The One M9 uses a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor with four cores clocked at 1.5GHZ and four cores clocked at 2.0GHz. It is packing 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, although it also has a microSD card for additional storage up to 128GB something the S6 Edge does not have.
The camera area is completely revamped gone is the 4MP UltraPixel main camera and now they are using a Sony 20.7MP sensor with autofocus, dual-tone LED flash, but still no OIS. Rather than getting rid of the UltraPixel camera altogether, HTC moved the 4MP UltraPixel camera to the front for great selfies and video chatting. It uses a non-removable 2840mAh battery (S6 Edge uses a 2550mAh) and supports Quick Charge 2.0 thanks to the Qualcomm processor.
The HTC One M9 retains the great sounding dual front-facing stereo speakers with BoomSound, includes an IR Blaster, stereo FM radio and comes in Gunmetal Gray, Amber Gold, Silver/Rose Gold and Gold/Pink. It should be available in March running Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Cyanogen Inc. is going through a complete re-branding, New concept, New Logo and even a New boot animation that will be included on all the company's upcoming custom Android ROMs.
Cyanogen, today, showed a new boot animation that will be integrated with the upcoming Cyanogen OS 12 in a YouTube video that you can watch below. This version of Cyanogen OS is based on Android Lollipop and will include a number of new features headed by Project Volta.
The Future is Here, a 10 Terabytes hard drive is now possible to manufacture. HGST, a Western Digital subsidiary company, has introduced the world's first 10TB hard drive at a tradeshow for Linux and open source storage developers. The Bad News, this 10TB SMR HelioSeal HDD by HGST is destined for enterprises use only.
But in a few years, one of its successors may just end up inside your next desktop PC, if by that time consumers will still buy hard disk drives or PCs.
The disk is sealed and filled with helium gas (which is where the "HelioSeal" brand gets its name from), something that helps reduce read/write head friction and enables HGST to put more platters into a single drive one that, from the outside at least, resembles an everyday desktop HDD.
