MURMER GADGET

The world is going selfie mad so its about time Samsung joined the craze - and the Galaxy Grand Prime is seemingly the phone its going to use to do it. The selfie -centric phone was leaked by Vietnamese site thegioididong.com, which both posted pictures and revealed some apparent specs. Those include a 5.0-inch 540 x 960 display, a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB of RAM. The Galaxy Grand Prime apparently runs Android 4.4 KitKat and is said to be equipped with an 8MP main camera which can record video in 1080p, but the star of the show is the 5MP front-facing camera, leaving it better equipped for selfies than most mid-range phones. Cheap shots Rounding out the specs theres apparently 8GB of built in storage, a microSD card slot and a 2600 mAh battery. According to the source it will arrive in Vietnam in October with a price of less than 5 million VND (£146 / $236 / AU$262). As yet theres no word on if or when it will head west, but if it does it will b...

This is a 7 minutes video. The back seems a bit different from the previous leaks. The odd thing is that the Nexus 5 doesnt seem to run Android 4.4 since the leaked features dont appear. Anyway, here is the video :

Key Features : 4.7-inch 720p AMOLED display; 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor; Adreno 320 GPU; Android 4.3; 2200mAh battery; 16/32Gb storage Manufacturer: Motorola What is the Motorola Moto X? The Motorola Moto X is the US manufacturers latest flagship Android handset and big brother to the wallet-friendly Motorola Moto G. Having launched in the US back in August, the X will finally be introduced to the UK on 1 February. With a somewhat middling array of specs, the 16GB handset will set wannabe owners back £380 on a SIM-free basis. As well as missing the competitive pricing of the Moto G, the X is a full £80 more expensive than its superior specced rival, the Google Nexus 5. Motorola Moto X: Design Ergonomics and aesthetics have been well thought out in the design of the Motorola Moto X, with the handset featuring a slightly curved back that sits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The phone lines up at 10.4mm thick at its fattest point and 130g in weight. Pleasingly, this mo...

That’s one of the first concept of Samsung Galaxy Note 5, as is imagined with its dual display Edge and what could be its future characteristics; project feasible or not? From China, via the famous site news.mydrivers.com, is already beginning to talk about the future Samsung Galaxy Note 5, which will be at the end of 2015 with high probability that the successor to the Galaxy Note 4, is already on the market in our country little more than a month and a half; the pictures you can see here in succession do not represent the final product but only an idea, a concept on how it could be the phablet fifth-generation Korean company.  From the point of view of the form factor concept is based on technology already Edge view of the Galaxy Note 4, but in this case (as has been rumored on a variant of the Galaxy S6) will have a dual display Edge at both edges of the phablet; this card will increase the number of functions and information the device will always show us even if the main central d...

A jailbreak tool has been released for iOS 8 just over a month after Apple’s latest OS was first officially launched. The new software comes courtesy of Chinese tinkerers Team Pangu, and is the first jailbreak for the iOS 8 . The jailbreak gives anyone with the latest iOS software root admin access to their smartphone, circumcenting Apple’s standard user restrictions. Pangu says its jailbreak will work fine on both iOS 8 and the newly released iOS 8.1 update. The jailbreaker team also recommends backing up your device before you take the root access leap, just in case something goes wrong and causes data loss. Many users are complaining that the jailbreak has come too early, since Cydia software and English language are not currently available. Pangu may have rushed out the jailbreak tool to be remembered as the first hackers to crack the software. It took Team Evasi0n around three months to jailbreak Apple’s iOS 7 last year, although it launched with a much more solid build. It’s als...

Instagram today unveiled a chic cure to capturing and sharing videos through its iOS and Android mobile apps, one that will no doubt give Twitter pause as to what it wants to do next with Vine. Called Video on Instagram, the feature is more nuanced than its GIF-y counterpart. The Twitter-owned, 6-second video taking Vine has its merits, but Instagrams take on video comes packing a few more features and lacking loops. In videos lasting up to 15 seconds and no less than three, users can apply one of 13 filters, pick a cover photo and erase the last clip they take. Those extra nine seconds touch on what CEO and Co-Founder Kevin Systrom referred to as the Goldilocks moment: Not too short, not too long. In a way, hes right, but at the end of the day theres only so much you can do with 15 seconds. On the flip side, theres also too much you can do, so whether Instagram has really hit on the social cinema sweet spot will be subject to the test of time and users patience. How it wor...

Apple has officially announced the pricing and availability for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus just two days ago. The smartphone duo will kick off on October 17, while the online pre-orders start a week earlier - on October 10. Apple Retail pickups will be available as well, the official store reservations begin on October 14. Quite expectedly other official Apple partners - both retail stores and major carriers - have already begun taking reservations for the iPhone 6. The latest reports claims 2,000,000 reservations have been placed just in the first 6 hours of their opening. And this number is not the final one, because of inconclusive statistics. Keep in mind though that you dont need to leave a deposit or anything for those reservations so its unclear how many of those will transfer to actual sales. According to the report, most of the reservations are for the 64GB versions of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus - CNY 6,088 (€780) and CNY 6,888 (€883) respe...
