LG G Pad 8.3 Sees 14th October Launch In South Korea, Rest Of The World To Follow After

LG G Pad 8.3 Sees 14th October Launch In South Korea, Rest Of The World To Follow AfterBack in September, LG finally took the wraps off their latest tablet, the LG G Pad 8.3. Unfortunately at that time, LG was a bit vague on the timing of the tablet’s release, only giving us a rough end of the year time frame, along with possible pricing (although it has been speculated that it could cost $299). In any case LG has recently announced that the LG G Pad 8.3 is expected to go on sale in South Korea come 14th of October and that its availability on other markets will follow shortly. Once again no specific dates were mentioned, but we can only imagine it shouldn’t be too long following its South Korean release.

The tablet will see a price tag of 550,000 Won, which roughly converts to about $510, making it a somewhat pricey tablet as opposed to its rumored $299 price tag that would allow it to compete with the likes of the Google Nexus 7. No word on how much it will cost when it arrives stateside, but hopefully its price tag in South Korea will be good enough indication. The LG G Pad 8.3 will sport an 8.3” 1920×1200 display and pack a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset under the hood clocked at 1.7GHz. It will sport several features of the LG G2, such as the Knock-On feature that will lock/unlock the device.

    ‘Revenge’: Does Aiden Really Want To Help Victoria Take Down Emily? (VIDEO)

    Last week on the “Revenge” season premiere, Aiden told Victoria that he wanted to help her take down Emily. Is that really what’s going on? This week, he spent a lot of time trying to convince her that he really did want to take down his former lover. In doing so, he revealed some details about Emily, but he also kept many of her secrets.

    “She betrayed me in a way you couldn’t even imagine,” Aiden told Victoria. “Or, maybe you can, as I’m sure David Clarke’s treachery lit a fire inside you.”

    “Don’t make inferences to my past, nor try to compel me by straining to link David with whatever Emily is up to,” Victoria responded.

    Samsung’s original NX300 mirrorless camera came with little to shout about beyond its gimmicky 3D capability. This refreshed NX300M brings something more useful to the table, however: a 3.31-inch AMOLED touch display that can now flip around 180 degrees instead of just 90, making it possible to …

    Samsung NX300M Announced For South Korea

    Samsung NX300M Announced For South KoreaEarlier this year, Samsung took the wraps off their NX300 camera but it looks like they have recently given the device an upgrade, although it looks like the upgrade will be targeted at the South Korean market. The upgrade comes in the form of the NX300M and for the most part, the camera will retain the same hardware specifications as the NX300 albeit with some minor changes that we doubt would be worth the upgrade if you already own the camera, but for those who don’t, perhaps these minor tweaks could be worth spending money on.

    For starters the NX300M will feature a 3.31” AMOLED display that is tiltable up to 180-degrees. This is compared to the NX300 where the display could only be tilted at 90-degrees and 45-degrees. That’s pretty much the only difference, but other specs suc has its 20.3MP APS-C CMOS sensor, Hybrid Auto Focus system, and DRIMe IV imaging engine should be still in place. Available in a variety of colors with an 18-55mm kit lens, the Samsung NX300M will set customers back 899,000 Won, with an offer valid until the 30th of November where a free premium brown bag and shoulder strap will be thrown in with every purchase.

    Samsung Announces New 13MP Camera Sensor With OIS

    Samsung Announces New 13MP Camera Sensor With OISWhen it comes to cameras, larger megapixels does not always dictate the quality of the camera as many photographers will tell you, but unfortunately it is a numbers game and many smartphone manufacturers have tried to upstage one another by offering cameras with larger megapixels on their smartphones. Well the good news is that Samsung’s Electro-Mechanics subsidiary has announced a new camera sensor which does not appear to be trying to up the megapixel count, but rather its features. The new 13MP camera sensor is said to offer up better performance compared to other 13MP camera sensors out there.

    For starters the sensor will feature an anti-shake function that will allow the photographer to correct an angular error of up to 1.5 degrees, which is apparently more than double that of regular cameras. This should, on paper, translate to less blurry photos. The sensor will also allow for low-light photography by boosting its brightness by up to eight times. To top it all off, the new sensor is small enough that it should fit into most smartphones today, meaning that come 2014, manufacturers who plan to utilize the sensor should be able to fit it into their products without having to compromise on its thickness.

    As it stands Samsung is sampling the sensor and plans to begin mass production come 2014, although we have to wonder if this new sensor will make its way into the new Samsung Galaxy S5.
