New video hyping Samsung Unpacked 2014 Episode Two

Sunday, August 31, 2014
With mere days to go until the official launch of the highly-anticipated Galaxy Note 4, Samsung has uploaded a preview video for the event to their Youtube channel. It actually seems as though Samsung can’t stop promoting their upcoming flagship device; just yesterday we showcased a much more action-packed video that seemed to make a similar point. You can’t really blame them however, the Galaxy Note 4 is poised to be one of – if not the – fastest, most feature-packed handsets to ever come out.

Irrespective of the ad from yesterday, we may still analyze today’s video on its own merits. The grand theme here is the utility of the pen as a concept, and the viewer is shown four (significant number perhaps?) different iterations of that concept through time. First we see an ancient Egyptian reed-like pen over a background of hieroglyphs. Next, a feather quill over beautiful, cursive poetry. Then, a dip pen hovering over a musical composition. And finally a fountain pen on top of a background of some sort of mathematical theorem. After all of these, we see an illuminated S Pen and the message is clear – Samsung is responsible for the present and future of pens.
Besides the content, the background graphics at the end are composed of hundreds of S Pens and thusly it really does seem as though the focus of the Galaxy Note 4 will be writing and recognition and convenience. We simply can’t wait, but there’s also not much waiting left to do; Unpacked 2014 Episode Two takes place September 3rd.

New Galaxy Tab S commercials tout the multitude of benefits that come with a Super AMOLED Display

Sunday, August 31, 2014
The Galaxy Tab S is here and has quickly garnered traction as the first true iPad competitor – primarily for its premium build and jaw-dropping display. And even though Samsung isn’t one to shy away from going at Apple explicitly in its advertisements, a recent series of commercials for the tablet mainly compare the Galaxy Tab S and its Super AMOLED display to nameless tablets with LCD displays.
With its 2560×1600 resolution screen providing unrivaled clarity and color accuracy, words do not suffice in expressing the advantages. In these commercials we see how the color range of the Galaxy Tab S is greater than that of any LCD, how the adaptive display is able to process and adjust the viewing experience in order to simplify how you use your tablet, and how the immense contrast ratio can bring your media to life unlike any of its competitors. The message is clear, but like we said, the words don’t do it justice – have a look for yourself.

Verizon’s Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 getting a minor update with bug fixes

Sunday, August 31, 2014
Verizon is pushing out an update to the Galaxy Note PRO 12.2 to fix a few issues and make minor changes, while keeping the Android version at Android 4.4.2. The update brings a bug fix for the default Calendar app, improves stability for the Science and Technology sections of the Magazine UX, adds an option to wipe local content from the lockscreen for all security methods (oddly, the changelog also mentions biometrics, which is naturally a mistake since there is no fingerprint scanner on the Note PRO 12.2), updates for apps such as Kindle and VZ Navigator, and new widgets for the WatchON and Hancom Office apps.
The update carries build number KOT49H.P905VVRUANE4 and is rolling out over the air, and should pop up on devices in the next few days. Don’t forget to check for it manually from the Settings » About device » Software updates menu if you don’t wish to wait for the update, as minor and unimportant as it is.

These Samsung Galaxy Tab S ads show off its playful side

Sunday, August 31, 2014
If there’s one thing Samsung does really well, it’s making advertisements for its smartphones and tablets. We’ve seen a couple of ads for the Galaxy Tab Ssince its launch, but it seems like we missed three of the most interesting of them all. Uploaded earlier this month, the videos focus on the Galaxy Tab S’ playful side – one shows how a famous artist bought the device to complement her creativity but also managed to become a “fruit annihilator” in the popular game Fruit Ninja, while another tells the story of a mother who “got lost in the wild wild west” on a Galaxy Tab S she originally bought to help her children in their education.
The ads start out somewhat serious, but do manage to make you smile by the end. Go ahead and take a look by hitting the play buttons in the videos below.
