Hasta La Gadget!

Samsung is one of the biggest vendors that is venturing deep into the wearable device arena. Recently it showed off two new Galaxy Gear smartwatches as well as the Gear Fit fitness tracker. These wearable devices were all launched alongside the Galaxy S5 at the Mobile World Congress 2014. All this despite the fact that the wearable devices it released last year didn’t have a good run. Perhaps Samsung is going with its much debated “gadget spam” strategy once again, this time focusing it on the wearable market. Apparently there’s yet another such device up Samsung’s sleeve, an activity tracker called “S-Circle,” which has popped up at the FCC.

Even though the Galaxy S5 hasn’t made it in the public’s hands as yet, it has been well received by folks who were able to take it for a spin at Mobile World Congress 2014. That’s because this time around Samsung shunned gimmicky features and focused on improving the user experience, which it appears to have done. The smartphone has a new “Kids Mode” on it which basically makes it child proof, and now a screenshot has been leaked online which reveals that Samsung has also included a “Driving Mode” which will make it easier for users to do essential tasks without having to search for those core features on their Galaxy S5.

Even though Samsung didn’t talk about Driving Mode at its Unpacked 5 event, its said that the mode will be available on Galaxy S5 when it is finally released on April 11th. The screenshot reveals that Driving Mode has a really simple user interface with large icons for four core tasks, Phone, Messages, Navigation and Music. Users essentially have one touch access to these features, and won’t have to search through their entire phone for them.

Apparently there will be some sort of voice guided functionality as well, which may offer a truly hands-off experience, thus allowing the user to keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times. Design is reminiscent of the new TouchWiz user interface of the Galaxy S5, so it won’t feel out of place.

Are you planning on getting yourself the brand new Samsung Galaxy S5 when it is expected to be released in April? Pricing of the handset has yet to be officially revealed and while there are rumors suggesting that the phone could be cheaper than the competition, recent retailer listings have suggested otherwise.

In any case if you thought that the Galaxy S5 might not necessarily be worth that amount, perhaps you might be interested to know that Samsung has announced that they will be bundling a bunch of freebies with the Galaxy S5 that is apparently worth $575. Granted not all the freebies will be used by everyone, but everybody loves free stuff, right? (more…)

As you might recall just last week, there were reports that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5’s ROM might take up more space than many users would have liked. In fact the 16GB model was found to have around 8GB of space left after everything had been installed.

Granted that we never truly get the full storage, using 50% for OS installation seems a little excessive, no? Well it turns out that it might not be the case. In fact according to a new report, it seems that the Galaxy S5 will have around 10.7GB of space left when it is taken fresh out of the box. (more…)
