The device in the last hour has arrived in India, but with a slightly different hardware configuration.

Its 4G LTE module enables data transfer and internet browsing extraordinary. Available colors of the beautiful Android phablet Galaxy A8 are three: white, black and gold. Malaysia costs about 449 dollars, confirming the previously reported price for the Chinese market.

Samsung had in fact prepared everything to announce the Galaxy A8 towards the middle of last July for the official release in China. Lucky them! Because it would be wonderful if the Samsung Galaxy A8 was international. But for the moment it seems that it is only available in Asia. We hope that in the near future can be created a western version of the thinnest phone ever seen so far.

The last smartphone produced by the colossus of Redmond has been a great success: the sales of Samsung Galaxy S6 proceeding very well, despite the output goes back months ago. Meanwhile, Samsung Galaxy A8 asserts itself as the future flagship of the Korean production company.

Galaxy J1 should be the first smartphone in the new series of Samsung J, made ​​over to him, most likely by Galaxy J3, J5 and J7. This is the entry-level not yet announced by the Korean, so it is no wonder that the technical specifications of this Galaxy J1 "change" now compared to what we saw in the past : Samsung may well have decided otherwise, or one of two reports may be inaccurate, and had not yet been formally announced, there is no way to know 100% how will this J1.

Despite its nature low-end, Samsung has included in Galaxy J1 some advanced features, such as Ultra Power Saving to use in situations where we just can not stay dry of energy, and the  Palm Selfie, which takes a photo when recognizes the palm of our hand.

Many smartphones have been recently placed on the market ready to give a hard time to Nexus 5. Though not exactly the same age, a few days there has also put the Samsung Galaxy Alpha to give him battle. In what the two models differ from each other?

In theory, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha is preferable for the choice of materials metal only along the sidebands, with perforated plastic back cover that allows easy access to the battery compartment and the reduced thickness just 6.7 mm. Just like the antagonist, is absent the slot for microSD internal memory is 32GB. Well the supplied software, in large part inherited from Galaxy S5, but a little less than the price.
