Samsung Introduces "Milk Music", A free Music Streaming Service for Galaxy Users [Download Links]

Samsung’s dogmatic approach to developing new products has seen it emerge as a superpower in the mobile game, but while the market is currently awash with devices bearing the Korean outfit’s famed logo, we’ve also seen, particularly over the past couple of years, a marked improvement in the range and caliber of its software roster. The abundance of great ‘S’ apps accompanying each new Galaxy release always felt as though it was leading up to something more substantial, and today’s announcement of "Milk Music," Samsung’s very own streaming radio service, certainly makes a big statement.

As far as streaming music goes, all of the big names are at it. Apple recently brought forth iTunes Radio, which officially launched alongside iOS 7, and although the Cupertino company has the kicker of the well-established iTunes Music Store, Samsung will still be hoping to make an impression with its very own competitor.

Milk Music, which is powered by Slacker, is both free to use and free of ads, which is a notably rare combination in this particular market. At this point, it is available to owners of certain Galaxy devices, but with more than 200 stations and 13 million songs from the get-go, it launches with quite a bit of gusto.

As you would expect of a service that does not charge nor beset advertisements upon its users, Milk Music will only be available to those in ownership of some of the company’s higher-end handsets. If you wish to get involved in Samsung’s rather exciting new service, you must own a Galaxy Note 2 or Galaxy Note 3, a Galaxy S4, or be planning on picking up the forthcoming Galaxy S5 when it eventually releases in the next few weeks.

As ever with brand-new streamers, it’s currently exclusive to those in the United States, although after the initial period has run its course, expect it to launch in several other key markets across the world.

It does appear as though the free + ad-free combo will run for a limited time as Samsung promotes and assesses the early response to Milk Music, so we would anticipate a similar pricing model to other such services as the roll-out extends beyond the current confines.

You can grab Milk Music via the Play Store link below, although please do consider that, as aforementioned, you will need to own one of the newer Galaxy S or Galaxy Note devices in order to install it.

Samsung ChromeBook will be cased with "Fake Leather"; What a SHAME

The chromebook that is soon going to have its sequel "the ChromeBook 2". Our most reliable source "@evleaks" have managed to get us hooked up with what looks like to be the next ChromeBook. But more details have also been leaked! Yes you've guessed it right, the Samsung ChromeBook will have the "Cheap Fake Leather" that we have been accustomed to with Samsung's Galaxy Smartphone Lineup.

Beyond the image, which Evleaks labels the 'Samsung Chromebook 2,' little is known about the new laptop. The current Chromebook sold well compared to other models running Google's stripped-down OS, and was fairly unique as it utilized an Exynos ARM processor, rather than one of the Intel chips found in almost every other laptop.

Download Samsung Galaxy S5 wallpapers for iPhone, Android and Windows Phone Free

Samsung Galaxy S5 might have failed to impress its fans (unless you are a heart patient(pun intended)), there are still some minor things that are simply just perfect, one such thing are the wallpapers of the Galaxy S5. 

New wallpapers get leaked all the time, but what’s interesting about this newly-Galaxy S5 wallpaper is that it’s not a leaked wallpaper. It’s often the case that somebody gets hold of a ROM dump, extracts the image files, and distributes them to the masses, and while we’re still keenly waiting for this to happen with the latest Galaxy S5, the wallpaper you see below has been, for lack of a more apt phrase, organically sourced.

deviantART member Shimmi1 has, based on an abundance of leaked images and videos, built this wallpaper up from scratch, as he describes, “piece by piece, vector by vector.” As you can see, he’s done a pretty amazing job, and although we’ll have to wait for Galaxy S5 ROM leaks before we’ll know just how close he has gotten to emulating the actual wallpaper, there’s no doubt that, for the time being, this is close enough.

Download here

Since it’s just an image, you can download and use it as the wallpaper for any device, including Android, iPhone or Windows Phone, although naturally, the resolution and aspect ratio of your particular handset will have a strong bearing on how nicely it sits as a new background.

If you care to look through Shimmi1′s deviantART page, you’ll see that he’s quite the pro when it comes to this kind of thing, with another, more colorful Galaxy S5 wallpaper also on display.

More great examples of the default Galaxy S5 along with slight color variations are listed below:

50% of Samsung Galaxy S5 Storage is taken up by their apps in 16GB Base Model

Samsung has been extremely keen to tell the world that the “next big thing is here“, but they haven’t exactly been forthcoming with the amount of internal storage that will be available to consumers when they get their hands on the latest in the Galaxy S range. Initial reports coming out of the Galaxy S5 event at this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona is suggesting that almost 50% of the S5′s storage capacity is taken up by Samsung’s pre-installed apps.

A number of independent reports from various media outlets have managed to confirm that the stock Galaxy S5 ROM is slightly larger than the firmware installed on its predecessor. The official demonstration during the company’s Mobile World Congress event deviated away from heavily showcasing Samsung’s own TouchWiz apps that ship pre-installed on the device. It seems likely that the Galaxy S5 will ship with less “bloatware” than what we’ve seen installed on previous models, however, the increased ROM size and the fact that the base model is still sitting at 16GB means that a large subset of consumers will find themselves with approximately 8GB of storage for their own files.

Samsung’s decision to ship the Galaxy Note 3 with a minimum 32GB storage capacity provided us with a glimmer of hope that future flagship devices would follow that trend. That obviously isn’t the case with the Galaxy S5 and it seems like the company’s loyal customers will be the ones to ultimately pay the price. A report from Android Central suggests that the device over at MWC offered only 7.86GB of available storage to the user. The previous Galaxy S4 model wasn’t fantastic, but it did offer approximately 9GB of available capacity to users.

Those looking to purchase the Galaxy S5 when it becomes available will be able to take some solace from that fact that the phone ships with a microSD card slot. Individuals who require a little of additional space for files, music, photographs or video based media will be able to expand the storage capabilities by up to to 64GB. 

So, will you be buying the Samsung Galaxy S5? Leave us your thought below in the comments.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Now Gets a Price and Pre-Order

Samsung announced its new flagship device during this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona and will act as a direct replacement to the current fourth-generation model of the S series family of smartphones. Well fans of the Samsung Galaxy S5 will now be pleased to know that the Galaxy Maker has now posed a price for the Galaxy S5.

UK-based Clove Technology, which is a large online supplier of smartphones, tablets and storage peripherals, was the first company to set up a pre-order page for the Galaxy S5. The dedicated page has Samsung’s Android powered flagship available to pre-order immediately, with the first available stock expected to arrive on April 11th. Clove has the smartphone listed for sale at a price of £550 GBP, inclusive of all local sales tax. At current exchange rates that equates to approximately $920 USD for the 16GB variant of the device. At the time of writing Clove didn’t have the 32GB option available.

The Spanish arm of retail giant Amazon has also listed the entry-level Galaxy S5 as available for pre-order. Spanish technology enthusiasts can be amongst the first to get in on the action by parting with €729, equivalent to approximately $1005 USD, which is insanely a lot for a new flagship device. We’ve seen in the past that pricing in individual territories doesn’t automatically map out across different countries, but these early pricing points do seem to contradict rumors that Samsung was planning on pricing the latest model lower than the Galaxy S4.

If recent speculation surrounding Samsung’s Galaxy S5 roadmap is anything to go by then it could be worth holding off on that purchase until later in the year. It’s heavily speculated that executives from the South Korean company held a behind-closed-doors meeting immediately after the MWC unveiling to discuss a luxury F line model of the device, which is considered the premium Galaxy S5 variant, reportedly set to launch in May. Still, for those who need it as soon as it’s launched, this information should provide a little more insight into timescales and approximate pricing.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Vs S4 Vs S3 Vs S2 VS S1

After summing up at MWC 2014, we have seen a variety of exciting and amazing new products announced by the biggest phone companies competing to appeal their phones to us. Although high hopes were for Samsung, the S5 didn't quietly surprise us as the S4 and S3 did.

Nevertheless, we have decided to give you a Side by side comparison of all the Samsung Galaxy Flagship devices. These are the; "S5" Vs "S4" Vs "S3" Vs "S2" Vs "S1". Although we have not got our hands-on the S5 itself which Is expected to release on April. Below are the pictures from our friends over at Phone Arena who have generated these images. So sit back and enjoy!

This is the comparison of the S5 with the S4 - S2.

Of course, the 1st Galaxy deserves special treatment so here's a excusive S5 VS S1.

What they’ve done is simply compare the size of the newly-released Galaxy S5 with all its predecessors, all the way back to the first Galaxy S GT-I9000. We’ve come a long way since then, and the comparison shows that with images of all the devices side by side, putting things in perspective using Phone Arena’s size comparison tool.

The S5 Vs S4 Vs S3 Vs S2.

The S5 Vs S1 Side Comparison.

It’s interesting to see how the size of the Galaxy flagships has increased year over year, yet the shape hasn’t changed so much. Indeed, if you look at all the five devices, the Galaxy S II is the only one that stands out, with a form factor that’s visibly different from the rest. Another interesting fact is that the Galaxy S5 and the Galaxy S bear a close resemblance in appearance, with the fifth iteration being the slightly more attractive one.

Although the S5 didn't quite surprise us, let's wait till next year to see what Samsung has to offer us with the S6.

Motorola is also making a SmartWatch following Samsung

Well, well, well. Guess who's back in the watch making game? Motorola. Of course, it already did the watch before  but Rick Osterloh, SVP of Product at the firm, has just confirmed that the company is working on another awesome smartwatch, and it will be coming in the next few months. At a press conference at MWC, Osterloh commented that the problem with current watches is that no one wants to wear them (Ohhh! Samsung), and it's a problem the company is tackling head on. It also might not just be another straight-up sports watch this time, with Osterloh asserting "it'll solve some real user problems." Good looks and brains? Surely not.

Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit Review

The original Galaxy Gear was always a beta device. Samsung’s first smartwatch was testing waters the company had never waded in before, and it took a lot of well-earned criticism for its shortcomings. Less than six months later, however, Samsung returns to the fray with a new smart wearable that provokes a drastically different reaction: desire. Where the original was bulky and uncomfortable, the Gear Fit is slender and form-fitting. The Gear was rich on features but lacked a clear purpose — a problem arguably shared by the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo. The Fit, on the other hand, is clear-eyed in purpose and minimal in design.

SAMSUNG'S RARE RESTRAINT HAS PRODUCED ITS MOST INNOVATIVE DEVICE IN YEARS

Every hardware spec of the Gear Fit serves a function. Yes, the Super AMOLED display is nice to look at, but it’s also a way to preserve battery power and delivers the excellent viewing angles that a glanceable device requires. Unlike the Galaxy Round smartphone, having a curved display here actually makes perfect sense as it eliminates the elongated flat slab that most current smartwatches force onto your wrist. Giving it a touchscreen also helps by removing the need for multiple buttons (the Fit has just one). In many ways, the Gear Fit feels like a Gear that’s been stripped of everything superfluous and focused into a viscerally purposeful device. An egg of an idea hatching into an adorable chick.

The Fit’s software is spartan but effective. You scroll laterally between menu items and the things you can interact with are large enough to thumb comfortably. It’s a familiar smartphone interface, stripped down in an intelligent way. That’s almost the converse of what the original and second-generation Gear smartwatches offer — their effort to do everything is what prevents them from doing any single thing right. The truth is that if the Gear Fit is as good over the long run as its first impression suggests, there might never be a need for a Gear 3.

IF THE GEAR FIT LIVES UP TO ITS PROMISE, THERE MIGHT NEVER BE A NEED FOR A GEAR 3

Having kept the Gear Fit under wraps all the way until its debut this week, Samsung has completely taken over Mobile World Congress with its new fitness band. The Korean company was already assured the most attention at the trade show, but the early hype was about its next flagship Galaxy smartphone, not a new wearable. The Gear Fit has overshadowed the mild smartphone upgrade and it’s shown Samsung at its best: learning from its own mistakes and those of others, iterating quickly, and harnessing its considerable engineering reserves.

NOBODY CAN MATCH SAMSUNG'S SCALE AND SUPPLY CHAIN

The Gear Fit is important. Recall the drastic changes that occurred between the original Galaxy S and the superb Galaxy S II — when Android smartphones were still finding their perfect formula, there was much more room for innovation and risk-taking, and that’s very much where wearable technology is today. By being willing to try and fail with the Galaxy Gear, and then return with both subtle and drastic changes — as embodied by the Gear 2 and Gear Fit, respectively — Samsung is indeed moving toward its goal of taking the lead in a new category. It’s appropriate that the Gear Fit is being introduced at the same event as Samsung’s announcement of 200 million Galaxy S device sales. As growth and innovation in the smartphone world stagnate, wearables like the Fit promise to catalyze a whole new market of devices. What makes it unique is Samsung’s enormous scale, capability, and supply-chain control — it has the chance to take over a new market just as it’s beginning.

The Pebble smartwatch proved that a more constrained but clearly focused device is the best fit for your wrist. The cornucopia of iWatch concepts showed that wraparound displays are emotionally appealing to consumers. Samsung has heeded both trends, married them to its vast engineering talent, and the product has been the Gear Fit.

It’s not Samsung’s first wearable device, nor is it the first fitness band ever, but the Gear Fit promises to set the agenda for both going forward. The Fit is uncomplicated and beautiful — an embodiment of what most of us imagine future technology to look like. It still has questions to answer, with the most important being the price and the quality of the software, but it’s already made the wearable category more exciting and attractive to the people who are expected to buy into it.

We will certainly have a full review ready for you when it is released, so stay tuned for the Galaxy Fit Full Review.

Nokia and HTC make fun of Samsung Galaxy S5

When the likes of Samsung announce a new top-of-the-line smartphone the world tends to sit up and take notice. With the Galaxy S5 being announced by that very same company earlier today at Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress, it’s fairly safe to say that it gets the attention of not just those that are likely to go out and buy one, but also of the companies that make handsets that compete directly against it.

So it’s with almost inevitability that the likes of HTC and Nokia were keeping a close eye on what Samsung brought to the table with the device it hopes will prove a worthy successor to a long line of Galaxy S phones that have sold ridiculously well. Unfortunately, rather than concentrate on their respective products while looking on from afar, both companies have rushed out to try and poke fun at what Samsung has announced. Unfortunately, both managed to come across as a little desperate instead.

First up we have HTC, who felt compelled to post an image in which it suggests that there will be quite a lot of buyer’s remorse flying around once everyone sees what is coming out of the firm that brought us the well received and rarely bought One smartphone. We’ll reserve judgment on that ourselves – we’re quite the fans of HTC’s handsets here – but when it comes to sales figures we’re pretty confident which will sell most out of HTC and Samsung!

Nokia also took a big stick to the bear, that is Samsung, by suggesting that buyers stick out from the crowd by choosing something other than the Samsung option. Presumably they want people to go with their own multi-colored handsets instead. With people not exactly lining up to buy what are admittedly good smartphones from the new Microsoft acquisition, it might take more than a witty tweet to get Lumias into people’s pockets.

We doubt anyone at Samsung is too upset about the spate of Twitter-based mocking they’re in the midst of, after all, it’s year-end figures that count. And we know how that’s going to pan out already.

So do you like the Galaxy S5? Well we here at iTechnoBlog are depressed as we expected a lot more from Samsung.

Hay a great day!

Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Review

Samsung's new Gear 2 wearable device.

It’s not news that Samsung likes to throw a lot of products at the wall, and see what sticks. But when it came to the original Samsung Galaxy Gear wearable device, the strategy was even more aggressive: Rush the product to market, even if one or two of its design decisions made absolutely no sense.

Having seen and touched the elegant, new Samsung Gear 2, I am more convinced of this than ever. While not perfect, it is definitely the product Samsung should have released the first time around.

The Gear 2 is lighter, thinner, more powerful, offers a better screen, much, much better battery life, and a sharper, more elegant watch-like profile. Most importantly, there's a camera on the watch itself, rather than the wristband.

Why didn’t Samsung ship this version of the Gear in 2013? I blame Samsung’s Crazy Artist Syndrome.

Think of Samsung as a great, slightly manic sculptor who likes working out in the open: see the work-in-progress! He can’t help but rapidly deliver unfinished works to his patrons, one after the other. Each is slightly different and better than the last, but those who bought the early stuff grow increasingly frustrated as they see the later, far more polished results.

Instead of apologizing to the customers or advising them to postpone purchase, the artist simply delivers a revision many months later.

So Much Better

As I was playing with the Gear 2 and quizzing a couple of Samsung representatives about the new product at the New York City launch event on Monday, I joked that I was sad to see the camera move off the watch band. One laughed knowingly, but the other, who could not see the grin on my face, asked in all earnestness, “Really? Why?”

I told him I was kidding, and appreciated it the moment Samsung made the official announcement at Mobile World Conference in Barcelona. Moving the camera and wiring out of the band meant you can change or replace the band.

That exec at MWC said almost exactly what I had told Samsung’s PR people last year in private meetings. The company had to know this was a terrible idea when they were shipping the first Gear, and yet they went ahead with it anyway. When I told the Samsung rep that I always thought that putting the camera on the band was an incredibly bad idea, he replied: “but look how far we’ve come in five months.”

He’s right, of course. Samsung has made remarkable progress in a very short period of time. But if you know anything about product development cycles, you know that this edition — complete with a heart rate monitor (on the back), different operating system (Tizen) and a monumentally better second-gen super AMOLED screen — must have been underway even before Samsung released the first Gear.

Why didn’t Samsung wait? The reviews for the first product, from women were not kind. Wouldn’t it have been better to avoid that kind of pain, retain its reputation, and deliver a product that could make even Apple sit up and take notice?

Work Remains

I am not saying the Gear 2 is a perfect device. Though it is thinner and lighter than before, the Gear 2 had to share the stage with Samsung Galaxy Fit— which, to be honest, stole the show.

The Fit is, as you would guess, is a fitness band; it features the world’s first curved Super AMOLED screen on a wearable. It’s light, fun, sexy, and could be the breakout star of Mobile World Congress. It also highlights what Gear 2 is not: curved and jewelry-like.

Samsung also revealed yet another Gear: the Gear 2 Neo. It’s a camera-free version that lacks some of the Gear 2’s stylish lines; it is likely there to satisfy budget-conscious consumers. By the way, neither Gear 2 model offers much variety when it comes to band options. You get a couple of color choices, but all are rubber and have the same crosshatch texture.

Even with this Gear overhaul, one very big question remains: How much? With the Neo and Fit likely to get $199 and $149 price tags respectively, the full-featured Gear 2 will probably cost nearly $250. That may be about $50 too expensive for most consumers. But if Samsung offers an attractive Galaxy S5 bundle price, they still might have a wearable success on their hands. And on ours, for that matter.

But if you don’t like this Gear, wait five months — the Gear 3 is surely waiting in the wings.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Review

Out of all the major manufacturers presenting new products at Mobile World Comfrence this week, no keynote was more highly anticipated than Samsung’s Unpacked 5 event. The South Korean company is the hottest name in Android right now, and it was expected to unveil its latest flagship smartphone.

And it delivered. This afternoon, Samsung introduced the new Galaxy S5 handset to a packed auditorium in Barcelona, Spain. There were no Broadway Style this time around, just Samsung leadership up on stage talking about the smartphone they built for the year 2014 and beyond…

Hardware

The Galaxy S5’s design is a minor evolution of the Galaxy S4—in fact, it’s nearly impossible to tell the two apart from the front. The back looks fairly different though, as Samsung has replaced the S4’s glossy plastic battery cover with a soft, dimpled, foamy-type finish. They call it the “modern glam” look.

The S5′s display is a little bit larger than its predecessor at 5.1-inches, but it’s still a Super AMOLED panel rated at 1080p, so it doesn’t look much different. The processor is quad-core, 2.5GHz, and there’s 2GB of RAM. There’s also a larger battery and a 16MP rear camera capable of shooting 4K video.

Samsung is saying that the device is IP67-rated for water and dust resistance, meaning it can be submerged in 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes at a time—though we wouldn’t recommend trying it. It also packs a host of sensors including gyro, barometer, gesture(IR), finger scanner and heart rate sensor.

Software

The S5 is launching with Android 4.4.2 KitKat with Samsung’s user interface fully intact. Despite reports that Google asked Samsung to tamp down its bloatware, S-branded apps and UI elements are present everywhere. There’s also a new S Health app that takes advantage of the phone’s new heart rate sensor.

From what we’ve gathered from initial hands-on experiences, the heart sensor works well, but the fingerprint reader built into the Home button is terrible. Unlike the 5s, it requires the user to swipe across vertically, and The Verge found it to be “quite unreliable and virtually impossible to activate one-handed.”

Other software features include a Kids Mode, which will include apps and games tailored toward children, a Private Mode, which will shut down access to various aspects of the S5, and a Power Saving Mode. The camera app has also been updated with a surprisingly fast Auto Focus, which takes just 0.3 seconds.

Release details

Samsung says it will begin selling the Galaxy S5 on April 11 in over 150 countries. In the US, it’ll be available on AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint, as well as a handful of regional carriers. You should be able to pick one up at your local electronics dealer—Best Buy, RadioShack, etc.—but there’s been no word on pricing yet.

So, what do you think of the new Galaxy S5?

S5... The Coutdown to Zero Hour

10 hours remaining until the Korean tech giant Samsung unveils the rumoured Samsung Galaxy tomorrow at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Over the years Samsung has dominated the MWC with their state of the art and surreal devices such as the line of S4’s and Galaxy tablets but according tech experts around the world, this year is going to be a unforgettable one.

There are many speculations to what the S5 would look like but after reviewing their teaser video, viral pictures on social networking sites and not to mention their Unpacked Invites with the superscript 5, I have compiled a summary of some of the features expected.

Samsung's Unpacked Invite

Wet, fit and alive! These are the focal words of their teaser video indicating a Waterproof flagship smartphone. No, no it’s not going to be like the S4 Active pictured below. A more intelligent camera suite is expected since during their teaser video they sort of go slo-mo at some places and give a stunning High-Def feel to it.

Samsung Gaxy S4 Active

Also a finger-print scanner is believed to give it a more sense of security which will be raising a few of Apple’s eyebrows.
Now to its software, a new tiled version of the Android operating system is anticipated but it is quite unlikely too since sources say Android wasn’t too happy about the so called major cuts and improvements they did to the Note 3 software but the circular icons in their Unpacked Invites suggests otherwise.

 

Two new additions to the wearables line is expected and hopes are high for them to be compatible with the S5. The screen of the S5 according to leaks looks something like the not too long ago released S2 but with the speculations of a larger Curved screen.  A more faster and stable CPU and motion processer should also pack the S5 with a lot of power and stability if they want to compete with Apple’s iphone 5. 

So in conclusion a new interface, bigger screen, outdoor friendly features and a new and improved camera are just some of the features to expect but I personally expect something more superior and surprising. Check in tomorrow for the latest from the MWC. Brandan Out!
