It’s evolutionary, not revolutionary—which is exactly what Android 6.0 needs to be.<br /> <br /> Google VP of engineering Dave Burke introduced Android M at Google I/O this morning and made it clear the upgrade favors substance over flash, and making the user experience better in every way.<br /> <br /> <b>(Also Read: <a href="http://rikknives.blogspot.in/2015/05/sony-xperia-z4-tablet-perfect-for.html" target="_blank">Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet perfect for Business and Entertainment</a> )</b><br /> <br /> First and foremost, Android Pay will show up on handsets when Android 6.0 ships. We’ve got all the deets on Android Pay here, and Burke says it will roll out before the end of this year, pre-installed on phones from Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. More than 700,000 stores are already lined up to support the mobile payments system. Fingerprint support is also coming: Much like it works with iPhones, you can unlock devices, make Play Store purchase, as well as verify an Android Pay purchase just by touching your finger to the hardware reader.<br /> <br /> Android M will also put Google Now everywhere in Android phones. With a long-press of the home button inside just about any app, you can receive contextual recommendations or assistance for whatever you’re using your phone to do; if you’re using Hangouts, for example, and can’t decided where to get dinner, a long-press will activate Now to give you restaurant ideas or more information about where you want to go. If you’re browsing the menu in Yelp or OpenTable and you want to learn what’s in a specific dish, you can ask Google Now to look it up for you.<br /> <br /> More good news: We can expect longer battery life and faster charging. Phones will start “dozing” in standby mode while not in use, something Burke says will double your running time compared to devices running Android L. The M release also will see Android phones adopt USB-C connectors; Burke says Google is working with hardware manufacturers to adopt the standard, which he says also will boost battery life and reduce charge times.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifjvxBIm8RWFE5n4BZPWvHapcTMe2GPjzWaP7ZJLKDlWKMpJbZ4ZXeGUZOgcDASfI9yvSPZUe9z32oMvU2nK896HKRKJe1Op22YTyeteKkDjo-KwofdAb9lxLFFO2P9xFOtGD8Ukuzekc/s1600/Google+I-o-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="357" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifjvxBIm8RWFE5n4BZPWvHapcTMe2GPjzWaP7ZJLKDlWKMpJbZ4ZXeGUZOgcDASfI9yvSPZUe9z32oMvU2nK896HKRKJe1Op22YTyeteKkDjo-KwofdAb9lxLFFO2P9xFOtGD8Ukuzekc/s640/Google+I-o-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small; text-align: left;">Android M </span><span style="font-size: small; text-align: left;">boost battery life</span></td></tr> </tbody></table> The excitement continues with a new permissions model. Users will have greater control over permissions, which developers won’t be stoked about, at least at first. Google says the new model will let devs create more malleable permissions for users. For example, if an app seeks camera and microphone access, you can decide to allow permission to access one or the other, instead of both or neither. “It’s a more seamless app install process,” Burke says, noting it’s a surefire way to keep users in the long term.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR73x7xU4E48N7v6SMFGxHRCjcDpNyCjRHcZrRPv3UWR2zTsh9JzHJZJSJYCyXQetHfbESmUQjzEKF-M-yy_FUAGGB8EkImisIvHWf6r1H6fbsxdd7iNMSyA4YH8AR44gAlZTvp3miPzw/s1600/androidm-app-permission.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR73x7xU4E48N7v6SMFGxHRCjcDpNyCjRHcZrRPv3UWR2zTsh9JzHJZJSJYCyXQetHfbESmUQjzEKF-M-yy_FUAGGB8EkImisIvHWf6r1H6fbsxdd7iNMSyA4YH8AR44gAlZTvp3miPzw/s640/androidm-app-permission.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small; text-align: left;">Android M will have </span><span style="font-size: small; text-align: left;">new permissions model</span></td></tr> </tbody></table> The permissions upgrade also means the dialogue box that asks if you want to stay with a URL or open something in-app will change, allowing developers to confirm a URL and automatically redirect to their apps. Android M also will help apps linking to the Web and to other apps. There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff happening here, but what it means for users is taking fewer steps between apps when hitting links. Click a link to a tweet from Gmail and you will go directly to your Twitter app. Easy.<br /> <br /> The two big remaining questions: What does M stand for and when will it be released (beyond “later this year”)? Google wouldn’t say, and we’re all eager to find out.<br /> <br /> ref: wired.com</div>

The global version of the already released Japanese Xperia Z4 changes nothing but the name and is the same incremental upgrade over the Xperia Z3.<br /> <br /> There are several upgrades to note in terms of hardware, and the Snapdragon 810 chipset is one, replacing the S801 in the previous model. The 16GB internal storage option is ditched and the Z3+ will now come with 32GB of built-in storage, while RAM remains at 3GB.<br /> <br /> <b>(Also Read: <a href="http://rikknives.blogspot.in/2015/05/samsung-galaxy-note-4-will-get-android.html" target="_blank">Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will get Android 5.1 Lollipop OTA update in next two weeks</a> )</b><br /> <br /> The new device packs the same 5.2-inch 1080p TRILUMINOUS display and measures 146 x 72 x 6.9 mm, slightly slimmer than the 146 x 72 x 7.3 mm of the Xperia Z3, but otherwise identical. Those fractions of a millimeter, however, have resulted in a downgrade in battery capacity - 2,930mAh, compared to the 3,100mAh of the previous gen.

The headline IP65/IP68 certification has been retained though. The front speakers have been moved to the edges of the front panel, in a throwback to the Xperia Z2.<br /> <br /> Not much has been changed in the camera department in terms of hardware and the primary unit has the same 20.7MP Sony Exmor sensor, sitting behind a 25mm-equivalent f2.0 lens. The front camera is upgraded to 5MP though, again with a wide-angle 25mm glass.<br /> <br /> Pricing of the Sony Xperia Z3+ remains to be detailed, but Sony confirmed it will be released in June.

TouchWiz and Android 5.0.2 Lollipop on the device work together properly and the S Pen features that Samsung has added to the user interface are highly appreciated by users. Although a pretty large phone, the Galaxy Note 4 keeps its slim body and light-weight construction within users’ preferences. The only thing missing right now is the Galaxy Note 4 Android 5.1 Lollipop update.<br /> <br /> <b>(Also Read: <a href="http://rikknives.blogspot.in/2015/05/lg-g-watch-r-wont-have-wi-fi-support.html" target="_blank">LG G Watch R won't have Wi-Fi Support With Android Wear 5.1.1 Update</a> )</b><br /> <br /> Samsung has previously confirmed that the Galaxy Note 4 would get Android 5.1 shortly, but they didn’t give a timeline as to when the OTA was to be expected. Although the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge were launched with Android 5.1 Lollipop available as an OTA, there was no word about when other devices, including the Galaxy S5, would get the bug-fixing update.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugH_Z3L_SsuOb-0fWUQ7FtcC8SRg8HGmLYihe4WuFhoD3wq-z7pdi_IKrlMhpSQkSo1IpDJsZ0e5pnBDA9Hgxexf5J9u64jqgjUIGyrIJPsP5YC_Ahqo6DL-3aRJmoLyn4pq_QX05eSY/s1600/galaxy_note-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="359" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugH_Z3L_SsuOb-0fWUQ7FtcC8SRg8HGmLYihe4WuFhoD3wq-z7pdi_IKrlMhpSQkSo1IpDJsZ0e5pnBDA9Hgxexf5J9u64jqgjUIGyrIJPsP5YC_Ahqo6DL-3aRJmoLyn4pq_QX05eSY/s640/galaxy_note-4.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Android 5.1 Lollipop OTA update</td></tr> </tbody></table> The South Korean smartphone manufacturer still hasn’t confirmed the update schedule for Android 5.1 Lollipop for the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5, but we’re fairly sure that the company will approve the build that was already released by Google a couple of weeks ago in the following two weeks. Insiders working on Android 5.1 have come forth and told us that we should be expecting the update to hit the Galaxy Note 4 first, in the first week of June, with the Galaxy S5 getting the OTA a couple of weeks later.<br /> <br /> Take this with a grain of salt, please, because although we trust our sources, they can’t always predict how the company will handle updates. Words is that while the Galaxy Note 4 update will be released OTA in the next two weeks, the rollout will be as slow as it was for previous editions of  Android OS.<br /> <br /> Although the Nexus line-up is already ready to have the official Android 5.1.1 Lollipop firmware installed, our sources could not tell us if Samsung was going to send out that version of the software anytime. They did confirm, however, that the Galaxy S4 would also be getting Android 5.1, but it would be the last update the device would be getting.<br /> <br /> Whatever happens, people should stay on the look-out and follow Samsung’s social media pages to stay updated with what the company is doing when it comes to updating the Galaxy Note 4. Once we hear word of an OTA, we will let you know, but a few weeks might pass until then. If you want to be prepared, you should know that Android 5.1 will most likely fix the bugs and issues people have had with the Galaxy Note 4, as well as add to TouchWiz features.<br /> <br /> Although we are confident that the Galaxy Note 4 will be getting the Android 5.1 update in the next two weeks, we are still awaiting confirmation from the company. In the meantime, users of the phablet seem to be happy with Android 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 in most cases, while others who have had problems with the update have chosen to install an older firmware. The Galaxy Note 4 is an iconic Samsung device and we expect it to be the first, aside from the Galaxy S6 series, to get the Android 5.1 update, but we might be wrong. Stay tuned to find out more.<br /> <br /> ref: geeksnack.com</div>

This lets them receive notifications and sync actions even if your phone isn't nearby, as long as both maintain active connections to the Internet. The thing is, this feature doesn't automatically kick in with the 5.1 update (or 5.1.1, though it should for the Moto 360, Sony Smartwatch 3, and Samsung Gear Live).

There's still no word on when the update will roll out over the air, but those who are looking to snag the latest firmware straight from Google can do so by heading over the developers page.<br /> <br /> <b>(Also Read: <a href="http://rikknives.blogspot.in/2015/05/android-m-may-include-fingerprint.html" target="_blank">Android M may Include Fingerprint Authentication</a> )</b><br /> <b><br /></b> Once there, all you have to do is locate your device and click on the download link listed for the version of Android you are looking to upgrade to. Be sure to read flashing instructions carefully, and if you're unsure, it's always best to wait for the OTA rollout so you don't end up bricking your device.<br /> <br /> The new releases expand the number of Nexus devices with access to Android 5.1.1 to almost the entire lineup. The new adds join the Nexus 9 (Wi-Fi-only version), Nexus 10, and Nexus Player set-top box with an Android 5.1.1 update. Surprisingly, the latest Nexus smartphone, the Nexus 6, doesn't have an Android 5.1.1 firmware -- it does Android 5.1, however.<br /><br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN_07NG-83JdVJonvxIAU1FcaNbUq6QVadIFw306O5IuOsGEjaSP_wbyAkRzTkppsXC9CHYSzH9i1J35VQRejdPg2rD5kpP89BbyP2phlJwIoThcqSBLGaJIvb4zq5sthqpEKCIAnL0zo/s1600/nexus-5-lollipop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN_07NG-83JdVJonvxIAU1FcaNbUq6QVadIFw306O5IuOsGEjaSP_wbyAkRzTkppsXC9CHYSzH9i1J35VQRejdPg2rD5kpP89BbyP2phlJwIoThcqSBLGaJIvb4zq5sthqpEKCIAnL0zo/s1600/nexus-5-lollipop.jpg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small; text-align: left;">Nexus 5</span></td></tr> </tbody></table> The Andorid 5.1.1 update weighs in at 25MB and isn't much of a game-changer. It mostly contains stability improvements and critical bug fixes, an issue that Google has consistently faced since the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop.<br /> <br /> Android 5.0, which released late last year, was plagued by a number of issues during its initial weeks. Many users reported that their device had become unusable, and Google has been slowly fixing many of the issues with incremental Android Lollipop updates.<br /> <br /> If you're wondering why there's such a time gap in when different Android devices receive their updates to the newest version, it has to do with the entire development process. Google initially develops a new Android, and soon after pushes it out to Nexus devices that run stock Android. Other manufacturers with handsets or tablets that run vanilla or close-to-vanilla Android interfaces are next to follow. Many flagships, however, run in-house interfaces such as Samsung's TouchWiz or HTC's Sense, meaning the manufacturers then have to tailor the Android firmware further. Last, but not least, carrier-tied variants are usually tweaked to work better on certain networks. All in all, it's basically a free-for-all as soon as Google releases the source code.<br /> <br /> ref: latinpost.com</div>

The Force Touch trackpad feature is making its mark on several items in Apple's MacBook line. The feature was introduced on the 13-inch MacBook Pro and the new, thinner MacBook.

Here's how to set up your phone to reject the update.<br /> <br /> Many owners of smartphones manufactured by Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola and others have been experiencing various performance problems since upgrading their OS to Android 5.0 Lollipop. Among the issues being reported are overheating, battery drain, freezing of apps, missed notifications and emails, and more.<br /> <br /> <b>(Also Read: <a href="http://rikknives.blogspot.in/2015/05/motorola-rolling-out-android-51.html" target="_blank">Motorola rolling out Android 5.1 Lollipop Updates For Moto E</a> )</b><br /> <br /> Many of these Android 5.0 Lollipop issues are frustrating smartphone owners to the extent that they are expressing a desire to return their devices to the prior operating system, KitKat 4.4. Though there is no official way to actually return your smartphone to an older Android operating system once it has updated, motivated users have come up with unofficial instructions for doing so for many of the top smartphones experiencing issues.<br /> <br /> But what about those who haven't yet received the Android 5.0 Lollipop update on their phone? Many users who have read or heard about the various performance issues surrounding the update are wary of the new OS and would prefer to stick with KitKat, at least for now. Others simply prefer the older user interface and want to remain with the familiar. Frustrated consumers have complained that even though they didn't want the Android 5.0 Lollipop update, they woke up one morning to find it automatically installed on their device.<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpXF7Vu9tDDRx7VDWToDIsw79jkn1lDbowCpHVaU5IZtbskond7xJXTrfjHeKNxhZ7AgROKCgUw7aZdEa8SPAQIovuIGoTomgelAYPjG4htFMvDssgcwacpo8Qbs65Wp7k8XJLTGHKSpU/s1600/android-l-lollipop.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="327" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpXF7Vu9tDDRx7VDWToDIsw79jkn1lDbowCpHVaU5IZtbskond7xJXTrfjHeKNxhZ7AgROKCgUw7aZdEa8SPAQIovuIGoTomgelAYPjG4htFMvDssgcwacpo8Qbs65Wp7k8XJLTGHKSpU/s640/android-l-lollipop.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small; text-align: left;">Android 5.0 Lollipop update</span></td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> There are two simple ways that smartphone and tablet owners can prevent the automatic updating of their device to Android 5.0 Lollipop. The best and most practical way to do so is to ensure your device does not have the necessary storage space to download the upgrade. When your device tries to download the Android 5.0 Lollipop update, it will be unable to, and users will instead receive a notification asking them to delete some material from their device or move it to an expansion card to free up enough space to load the new OS.<br /> <br /> The Android 5.0 Lollipop update is slightly larger than 1 GB, so having less than 1 GB of storage space on your smartphone is a guaranteed way to prevent the update. Try not to fill up the phone completely, leave a little under 1 GB. If you have a lot of free space now, you can just download some large media files such as movies or transfer them from another device. Just make sure that if you delete anything from your phone, you don't accidentally free up enough space, because the software update will continue trying to load indefinitely.<br /> <br /> A second, less practical, but effective way to prevent the update from loading is to disable Wi-Fi on your device. Obviously if you use Wi-Fi regularly this is not viable, but for those who almost always use their cellular connection it's another way to stop the update from loading, as Android 5.0 Lollipop software updates generally require a Wi-Fi connection.<br /> <br /> Many users are willing to update to Lollipop eventually, but don't want to upgrade in the first wave where problems and bugs are still being addressed and corrected. Samsung has recently announced that it will be releasing various micro updates to the Galaxy S5 for this reason, and at some point many of the reported problems and issues on various devices will be fixed. Users may then feel more comfortable using the new OS, in which case they simply need to free up enough space on their device or enable Wi-Fi to receive the update.<br /> <br /> ref: techtimes.com</div>

iPhone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy Alpha – a mere comparison

The device was quickly dubbed by many “the best smartphone on the market”, but things changed pretty fast as competitors started to surface. Before the iPhone 6 there was the LG G3, which contributed a lot to the poor sales of the Samsung Galaxy S5 in the second quarter. For a while there people were saying that Samsung was planning on releasing a Prime version of their flagship in order to compete better, but we haven’t heard much about this device since then. Instead, the Korean tech giant came up with the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, a metallic smartphone meant to compete with the iPhone 6.<br /> <br /> <b>(Also Read: <a href="http://rikknives.blogspot.com/2015/05/samsung-ready-to-roll-out-android-502.html" target="_blank">Samsung Ready to roll out Android 5.0.2 Lollipop Updates For Galaxy Tab 4 10.1</a>)</b><br /> <br /> Well, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha is now available for purchase in certain countries and more are expected to follow in the near future, but did Samsung deliver on its promise? Seeing as how the iPhone 6 was also announced and detailed earlier this month we decided to make a comparison between the two and find out. Now, Apple announced two versions of its highly anticipated flagship, but we’ll only be looking at the regular iPhone 6 for this comparison as the iPhone 6 Plus is too big to be a suitable competitor to the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Without further ado, let’s pit these two devices against each other and see what each of them can bring to the table.<br /> <br /> The Samsung Galaxy Alpha features a metallic frame that’s definitely a welcome departure from the plastic design traditionally associated with Galaxy devices. However, this isn’t really an advantage over the iPhone 6 as Apple’s flagship also features a metallic design and more rounded edges if you’re into that sort of thing. It’s hard to say which of them looks better as they are both visually appealing, but the Samsung Galaxy Alpha definitely looks a bit more rugged. However, the iPhone 6 is generally considered to be a more comfortable device to wield so it really depends on user preference here. In terms of display, both handsets come equipped with 4.7-inch panels, but there is a slight difference in terms of resolution. While the Samsung Galaxy Alpha sports 720 x 1280 pixels and 312 PPI, the iPhone 6 offers 750 x 1334 pixels and 326 PPI. That being said, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha’s screen uses Super AMOLED technology, which offers more realistic colors than the iPhone 6’s LED-backlit IPS LCD display.<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV9GEyGlabI1uJW-DWrPLA_gYWIfVc2nrWkPkvG0RzGOZBkMDB6YeWtnyUng7Juj9cXCQgMO8WhH-uCRt0tZ8yxnN6lLsUTGyRrBnc5JVyveF3bgPSrqXJIfymx9yR9YzmKXdiriM56us/s1600/samsung-galaxy-alpha-vs-apple-iphone-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV9GEyGlabI1uJW-DWrPLA_gYWIfVc2nrWkPkvG0RzGOZBkMDB6YeWtnyUng7Juj9cXCQgMO8WhH-uCRt0tZ8yxnN6lLsUTGyRrBnc5JVyveF3bgPSrqXJIfymx9yR9YzmKXdiriM56us/s640/samsung-galaxy-alpha-vs-apple-iphone-6.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">samsung galaxy alpha vs Apple iphone-6</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> Hardware-wise, we’re seeing some pretty important differences between the two. The Samsung Galaxy Alpha comes in two variants, one sporting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core CPU @ 2.5 GHz while the other features the Exynos 5430 octa-core processor with four cores clocked at 1.8 GHz and four cores running at 1.3 GHz. I think most would agree that both variants feature some pretty impressive processors, but the iPhone 6 is nothing to sneeze at either as it comes equipped with the new 64-bit Apple A8 chipset complete with a dual-core 1.4 GHz Cyclone dual-core processor. A weakness of the device is that it only features 1 GB of RAM while its competitor can account for 2 GB. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha only has 32 GB of internal storage memory and there is no microSD card slot so that’s as far as it can go. Admittedly, the iPhone 6’s standard model only has 16 GB of storage, but Apple’s flagship also has 64GB and 128 GB variants so there’s definitely more diversity here.<br /> <br /> Moving on to some of the other specs, we’re still a bit in the dark when it comes to the iPhone 6’s battery size as this was one of the few aspects that was not revealed yet. However, Apple did promise a much better battery than on the iPhone 5s and word on the street is that we will be looking at a 1,810 mAh unit. By comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha features a 1860 mAh battery so a little bit bigger, but the difference is barely there. To be honest, both devices are pretty unimpressive in the battery department so it’s hard to recommend any of them based solely on that. Apple did promise various improvements that should help with the battery life, but we’ll just have to wait and see. In regards to the cameras, the difference is a bit more obvious as the Samsung Galaxy Alpha packs a 12 MP primary shooter with LED flash. The iPhone 6 only features an 8 MP camera, but comes with dual-LED flash and more features than its competitor so it’s definitely not bad either.<br /> <br /> So far so good, but what about the price? Well. it’s no secret that iPhones are generally more expensive than their Android counterparts and things are no different with the iPhone 6. However, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha is a pretty expensive handset as well to be honest. Granted, we don’t know the official US price yet, but we do know that an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Alpha costs 699.95 CAD in Canada, which translates to about 637 USD. Meanwhile, a contract-free iPhone 6 is priced at $650 (16GB), $750 (64 GB) or $850 (128 GB). As expected, the iPhone 6 is more expensive, but the difference is not that huge all things considered. As for the release date, the device is expected to be available for purchase in the US on September 19th. The Samsung Galaxy Alpha is now available in the UK, Russia and a handful of other countries, with more to follow in the near future including Canada on September 26th. Unfortunately we don’t know when it will arrive in the US, but rumor has it that we should hear an announcement very soon and a release sometime early next month.<br /> <br /> Another important aspect that needs mentioning is the operating system. Both smartphones run on the latest version of their respective OS, but the iPhone 6 runs on the recently released major update, the iOS 8. The Samsung Galaxy Alpha comes equipped with the Android 4.4.4 KitKat and it’s hard to predict when it will upgrade to Android L seeing as how it wasn’t released yet. Samsung generally lags behind when it comes to updates, but recently we saw it step its game up a bit. Still, Samsung will likely focus on updating the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 first so the Alpha might not be a top priority for them.<br /> <br /> Bottom line? It doesn’t look like Samsung really achieved what it was planning to do with the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. The device seems too expensive for what it offers so you might as well go buy a Samsung Galaxy S5, which is cheaper and comes with better specs and a larger screen. It almost looks like Samsung is charging more just for the metallic frame as there are hardly any other improvements over its current flagship. The iPhone 6 on the other hand is just what you’d expect and it’s also pretty expensive, but Apple did make a lot of improvements over the iPhone 5s so at least it’s trying to offer something better than last year. I am tempted to go with the iPhone 6 for this one as the Samsung Galaxy Alpha seems like a rip-off in many ways. If you’re an iOS user, there are certainly many things to look forward to here because you get the new iOS 8 plus several features and improvements over the previous model. If you’re an Android user, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha doesn’t really bring anything new to the table here so it’s pretty hard to recommend. But as always, this is just a mere comparison and the final decision is up to you.<br /> <br /> ref: loadthegame.com</div>

Piku Movie Review: Best Bollywood movie of 2015

It's rare for expectations to be smashed to smithereens and even rarer for a Bollywood film to do this with so much confidence. Shoojit Sircar's Piku has arrived smack in the twilight of the blue moon. This film features the best ending to a Bollywood movie in a long time, and the stuff that happens prior to it is also quite lovely too.<br /> <br /> So here we have Piku Banerjee (Deepika Padukone), a Bengali architect who lives in Delhi with her dad, Bhashkor (Big B). Pappy is a raging hypochondriac and perpetually constipated, and also, naturally, highly irritable. Everything in his life, and also somehow everything in the life of people around him, depends upon his bowel movements (or the lack thereof). It doesn't take much for his antics to drive people insane. So it becomes a task when Bhaskor plans to travel from Delhi to his native Kolkata, and naturally Pappy declares traveling by flight could be problematic for his bowel.<br /> <br /> <b>(Also Read: <a href="http://rikknives.blogspot.in/2015/05/googles-next-version-android-m-will-be.html" target="_blank">Google’s next version "Android M" will be Launched this month </a>)</b><br /> <br /> The solution? Piku has to accompany Pappy on a cross-country road trip, along with Rana, a cab company owner turned driver (Irrfan), Pappy's Pot and Potty assistant Budhan (Balendra Singh), and even a throne-like pot seat.<br /> <br /> It's incredibly easy to dig this movie at the onset, not just because of fun performances from Padukone, Bachchan and Irrfan, but because it's so darn easy to relate to it. There is a Bhashkor in every family – the stubborn, grumpy old man with the temper of a child and a heart of gold. And Big B portrays the character to perfection - he's a well-meaning chap, just a bit forward in his manner and cranky owing to his illness. His utter lack of empathy for those on the wrong end of his forwardness is hilarious, as is his unreserved innocence regarding his prickly nature. You can't stand the guy's eccentricities, but you can't help love him.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWza2hWwo_JWuc2KWKaF1A-fkbdHrImmmb9sgULmFWzZZXkyZ5_IUyu-AL0W61tiOvXSfAn-XQP5FA9dAS_Dh1u3Nhsnrqpc2Zdpe_376-oP9IYRkxnYRYbBNLdplS10UPu49PYnsbWxA/s1600/big-HD-Piku-2015-Movie-HD-Posters-free-download.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWza2hWwo_JWuc2KWKaF1A-fkbdHrImmmb9sgULmFWzZZXkyZ5_IUyu-AL0W61tiOvXSfAn-XQP5FA9dAS_Dh1u3Nhsnrqpc2Zdpe_376-oP9IYRkxnYRYbBNLdplS10UPu49PYnsbWxA/s1600/big-HD-Piku-2015-Movie-HD-Posters-free-download.jpg" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Piku Movie Poster</td></tr> </tbody></table> There's a lot going on in Piku, and writer Juhi Chaturvedi's strong script coupled with Sircar's solid direction somehow makes it all cohesive. The film explores interesting themes – what does one do when the parent becomes difficult to handle and is totally dependent on you? How does one react when the parent is clearly upset about no longer being able to be independent, and becomes passive aggressive to assuage his frustration? Where does one draw a line between the parent being merely difficult and being a burden? How much can you sacrifice to make a relatively thankless invalid parent happy? Is it noble to consider moving out of the house and giving your invalid parent in the care of someone else so that you can focus on your career and social life? What can the parent do if he thinks he's being a burden to his children? Piku doesn't have the answer to all these questions, but it is bold enough to take you through them and make you ponder.<br /> <br /> The film also makes the best case for women empowerment since Queen. In the film, Piku is single, but has a casual sex life, and this fact is established very subtly. It is not a 'character trait'. It's just another normal thing that this normal girl does. And to top it all, even her father is liberal enough to not make a fuss over that. He expresses the occasional well-meaning concern, but he's not the regressive honour killer that is so prevalent in both in and outside our cinema. When was the last time you saw a Bollywood film where the father suggests to his daughter that getting married soon is only for those with low IQ? Last I checked, Sonakshi Sinha wanted to be 'blessed for marriage' by seeing Ajay Devgn's schlong. In this film, the Bechdel Test is effortlessly kicked in the nuts in a terrific 'will they won't they' scene between Piku and Rana that warrants a huge applause for both Chaturvedi and Sircar.<br /> <br /> Most importantly, Piku glides over all of these heavy-duty themes with breezy lightness and consistent, well-timed comedy. This is a road trip movie after all, and it's got hysterical, rapid-fire montage of cuts of the back and forth between the trio of Piku, Bhaskkor and Rana. The teeny bit of melodrama is handled beautifully by shuffling laughs and tears together like a pack of cards, making Piku one of the more emotionally honest films to have come from the industry.<br /> <br /> ref: firstpost.com</div>
