Hasta La Gadget!

What is it that you like about tradeshows the most? Is it the insane number of new devices that we can look forward to, or is it the free food at the press room that hungry journalists are able to tuck into? Perhaps it is the presence of booth babes who are somehow able to distort reality, and make whatever is released seem to perform and look better than it actually is? Regardless, IFA 2013 in Berlin, Germany is set to be a blast, and we have word that Samsung will be introducing a new 98-inch Ultra HD “video wall” for commercial purposes.

That particular video wall sure as heck seems as though it is going to be a blast, and I cannot imagine the kind of eye popping visuals that can be shown off in it. Of course, there will also be other side additions such as a 31.5-inch Ultra HD monitor, but you can bet your bottom dollar that most of the attention will be concentrated on the video wall from Samsung. 98-inches is definitely not something you can sneeze at, but there is always the issue of price that will hang over most people’s heads – is it affordable enough for smaller businesses to justify such a purchase? [Press Release (Korean)]

Samsung 98-Inch Ultra HD Video Wall To Appear At IFA 2013 original content from Ubergizmo.

Thanks to a recent statement made by Samsung’s executive vice president, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phablet has been confirmed for an unveiling at IFA 2013, along with the Galaxy Gear smart watch as well. As for availability, last we heard the Galaxy Note 3 could begin shipping in September and now thanks to new reports, the 27^th of September could be a possible release date. This is according to Taiwanese website ePrice who claims that the device will go up for sale in Taiwan come the 27^th of September, with pre-orders possibly beginning on the 16^th of September, although that particular date could be shifted depending on circumstances, but it should not be anything major.

Taiwan is one of the markets that are lucky enough to get devices early, so there is a good chance that if it is released on the 27^th of September in Taiwan, other markets should expect to follow shortly after, if not at the same time as well. No word on pricing just yet but we expect it will vary from country to country, not to mention subsidies offered by carriers could affect the price as well. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but hopefully apart from just sharing the features of the Galaxy Note 3 at IFA 2013, Samsung will announce pricing and availability as well.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Rumored For 27th September Release original content from Ubergizmo.

Come 4^th of September, Samsung has announced that they will be holding a press event at IFA 2013 in Berlin. At that time it was strongly speculated that the company could announce the Galaxy Note 3 due to the way the event was worded, and there were also rumors that Samsung could announce their smart watch efforts, the Galaxy Gear, as well. Just in case the rumors aren’t enough and you wanted more concrete evidence that Samsung will be unveiling said devices, well how about confirmation from Samsung’s executive vice president of mobile business herself?

According to a report from the Korea Times, the executive VP, Lee Young-hee, has confirmed that come 4^th of September, Samsung will be taking off the wraps of the Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Gear smart watch. The hardware specifications remain unconfirmed at this point in time, but Lee did state that the Galaxy Gear will not be relying on a flexible display as earlier rumors seem to have suggested. “The Gear won’t have a flexible display. The new device will enhance and enrich the current smart mobile experience in many ways. It will lead a new trend in smart mobile communications. We are confident that the Gear will add meaningful momentum to the mobile industry,”

So there you have it, it looks like there will not be any surprises during Samsung’s IFA press event, but do check back with us then for the official details and specifications nonetheless!

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 And Galaxy Gear Confirmed For 4th September Unveiling original content from Ubergizmo.

At Ubergizmo, in addition to our two Canon EOS-50D we carry the NEX-5N – we bought all those devices –  to shoot videos during briefings and conferences, and we are overall very happy with the photo quality and the high quality microphone that can be attached to the body. So we were quite excited when we could briefly get our hands on the new Sony NEX-5T that has a similar look as its (much) older sibling.

The 16.1 MP NEX-5T is the first Sony interchangeable lens camera to feature NFC that allows one-touch connection with compatible Android smartphones and tablets, for image and video sharing across devices.

Just the other day it was reported that the upcoming Sony Honami could capture 4K videos, and it looks like Samsung is expected to offer a similar feature as well with their upcoming Galaxy Note 3 phablet device. This is according to the Korea Economic Daily whose sources have “confirmed” that 4K video capture will be one of the Galaxy Note 3’s upcoming features. For those unfamiliar, this basically translates into a video with a resolution of 3840×2160, or around 8.3MP. While 4K will eventually become the new standard and replace 1080p, there aren’t that many 4K televisions in living rooms at the moment, but we guess Samsung could be looking to future proof its devices.

Some are speculating that the 4K video capture could be a way for Samsung to “make up” for the lack of optical image stabilization in its camera, a feature that supposedly will debut in Samsung’s 2014 flagship device. The reason behind it is that Samsung was reportedly not able to get enough sensors in time for the Galaxy Note 3, so perhaps including 4K video capture is a way to make up for it, so to speak. In any case Samsung will most likely announce the Galaxy Note 3 at its Unpacked event on the 4^th of September during IFA 2013 in Berlin, so check back with us then for the details.
