Samsugn Galaxy S4 Already Coming Out?

 No matter what you are - an Android or an iOS fan, you have to admit that Samsung has a pretty good track record and a lot of customer loyalty. Unlike Apple who takes its time to release better, advanced models and technologies, Samsung is always planning miles ahead and working on something new. The Samsung Galaxy S4 has already been announced for 2013 and some are even suggesting that we might catch some first glimpse of it in February during the World Mobile Congress (WMC).

I personally doubt that this phone will really be presented so soon and if anything I expect Samsung to show it off during the summer or later. If, however, this phone gets released to the general public a lot sooner then this could spell trouble for Apple who has made no real announcements about a new iPhone in 2013.

 There are a lot of good competitors on the market this year like the Sony Xperia L and the HTC Butterfly, and all of them feature a large 5-inch screen. The S4 is also expected to feature a 4,99" screen, which makes me wonder - why do people want their smartphones to get bigger and bigger? I even heard a rumor that Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 will be 6,3 inches!

 So how long does it take before Apple follows the trend? The iPhone 5 has a 4 inch diagonal, which is a huge step from the previous 3,5 inch diagonal display. But will the new release make the iPhone even larger? Or will there perhaps be an advanced and bigger version such as the iPhone 5L? Well, only time will tell this for sure, in the meantime make sure to follow this blog!

iPhone 5 Users = Biggest Data Users in Europe?

 Bigger data usage = bigger bills right? Well, Apple iPhone 5 users in Europe have pretty big bills to pay then since it seems that they have "the most voracious appetite for data in Europe". This is quite from Yahoo News who reported that iPhone 5 users in Europe are consuming data on average more than four times than a regular iPhone 3G user! Four times the bigger bills? Ouch! Hopefully, European carriers have good data plans for their demanding consumers.

 So how was this research deducted? Well, the mobile data analysis firm Arieso lead this research and they examined more than 1 million smartphone users over a 24h period in European 3G networks. They don't seem to be shocked by the results and they found out some other interesting things. Namely, phablets such as the Galaxy Note 2 or other great 5-inchers were also rising data consumers.

"One iPhone 5 user is effectively worth about 4 iPhone 3G users," report author Michael Flanagan said in an interview.

 Their study also shows that an iPhone 5 users is also 50% more demanding than an iPhone 4S user in Europe and that no other smartphone other than the Galaxy S3 is coming anywhere close to ranking as high as this.

ZAGG Debuts iPhone 5 Integrated Dual Analog GamePad And Protective Case

 Hi there Apple iPhone 5 fans! As you probably already know, the awesome CES event in currently the main event in the mobile industry. Today we would like to tell you what iFrogz (a ZAGG brand) has been up to recently and what sort of awesome device they presented today. It might be that they have made a perfect iPhone 5 game pad and they called it the Caliber Advantage for iPhone 5. This awesome looking device sports two analog sticks, a D-pad, face and shoulder buttons.

From what we had a chance to see, the iFrogz Caliber Advantage for iPhone 5 features elegant design that incorporates itself into the iPhone 5 very well. The device is able to double as a slim protective case. As for the analog sticks - they seem quite responsive and somewhat resemble the Circle Pad from Nintendo’s 3DS.

“The Caliber Advantage is a game-changer for the mobile platform,” said Kent Wuthrich, executive vice president of marketing for ZAGG. “Everyone from hardcore gamers to casual players will enjoy and appreciate the control and function of the Caliber Advantage. We are committed to bringing creative product solutions to gaming with not only this revolutionary gaming controller, but also a full line-up of gaming specific audio products.”

 The estimated MSRP for the Caliber Advantage is $69.99, and is expected to launch during the first half of 2013. I’d expect several more key developers to pledge support before it hits the market.

iPhone 5 Drop Test from 100,000 Feet!

 Ever though about sending your iPhone 5 into the atmosphere and then dropping it on the desert floor from up to 100,000 feet of distance? Me neither, but the creators of G-Form Xtreme iPhone 5 case though it would be an awesome way to present their $40 iPhone 5 case that is said to provide the ultimate protection to your iOS device. Sadly the video is not credible enough and doesn't really prove anything, although it is believable for a couple of reasons. Let us have a look at the suspicious video first:

 As you can see the main issue with this video is that the camera suddenly shuts itself off which is due to extreme cold. Now, honestly I really do think that the phone was dropped from a fairly high distance and that this was not a lie. However, I believe that the iPhone 5 was attached to the balloon which slowly lost its altitude and provided the iPhone 5 with an easy and safe landing in the brush. The video has failed to prove anything and the integrity of the manufacturer is just being put on the line. If the marketing team really wanted to show how effective their case is, then perhaps all they had to do was drop the phone from  7 feet on concrete!

 What do you guys think about the whole thing? Do you own any iPhone 5 cases and how have they been serving you?

iPhone 5 vs LG Intuition - Quality DOES Matter!

 When an average Joe looks at the specs of the LG Intuition he thinks that they are quite impressive and that they guarantee that his purchase will give him his money's worth. This is isn't just the case with this smartphone, but with just about any other high-end device on the market. However, this iPhone 5 vs LG Intuition showdown will do its best to show that Apple has clearly won this battle and that quality is something very important when buying a device that is this expensive. Granted, LG is a reputable firm and they are renown for making the LG Google Nexus 4 and Apple's reputation has been slipping lately. Several months ago, an interest article was published that highlighted all the top Apple iOS fails of the year so I will recommend you read that and I will say that I was not totally bias in this review.

iPhone 5 vs LG Intuition: The Showdown

iPhone 5 vs LG Intuition - the Design

 We have to start from somewhere so it might as well be to discus how the device appear at first glance. As far as I am concerned the LG Intuition is not a very pretty device. Its large screen is certainly something a lot of people would like to have, but to me it just looks quite ugly. This is a personal opinion so I will not base any verdicts on it. However, I must point out some facts such as the fact that the iPhone 5 is much lighter and slimmer and most users prefer how it fits in your hand. A lot of users have complained about the 5-inch LG Intuition saying that it is hard to hold and operate on.

The Screen & Display

 This is probably the first field in the LG Intuition vs iPhone 5 match that really interests most of us, and I agree that a good screen is very important. Apple's device has a 4-inch screen, while LG has launched a mini phablet that has 5-inch scree. Users have reported that the iPhone 5 has a much better graphics quality though and this is probably due to the 326 pixels per inch that this device's screen has. To compare things, the LG Intuition has only 256 ppi and only a slightly better resolution.

The General Specs

 It is hard to say that one of these two is better when it comes to the specs and what is running inside of them. Both have a powerful dual-core processor and will offer you just about all the standard things that they are expected. However, I believe that the A6 processor is made of much better quality material. 

 In terms of the battery however, we will have to give a round of applause to LG Intuition since they beat the iPhone 5 when it comes to battery power by a long shot! LG's top gun was able to win this category thanks to its 2,080 mAh Li-Ion batteries.In comparison the Apple iPhone 5 has only one 1,404 mAh battery which is something that they promised would be fixed by the next time the new iPhone flushes out.

The Camera

 Generally speaking the Apple iPhone 5 has a much better camera with a lot more options than a regular LG Intuition camera.It is also able to film brilliant HD video, while the LG cannot reach 1080p quality like the iPhone 5. All of the samples taken by the LG device didn't work out quite well and we are pleased to admit that the iPhone 5 is probably the better mobile phone out of the two.

 What about your opinion on the iPhone vs LG Intuition fight? What is your experience with these two mobile devices?

New iPhone 5 Adverstiment - "Dream"

 On the behalf of our blog as well as the DigiTech Panda network we would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year and it appears so would Apple, along with their new iPhone 5 advertisement. "Dream" is a very funny little ad that highlights a small, but very useful feature - do not disturb. In the commercial the narrator is having a very nice dream where he is playing (and winning!) a game of table tennis (ping pong) against the lovely Williams sisters. Here is this fresh new iPhone 5 ad:

 Do you like it? We personally find it very creative and entertaining to say the least!
