Samsung Galaxy Note 4: a manufacturing defect on the BMO 1st units? – The Digital

A problem of space between the screen and the aluminum edge of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has somewhat tarnished the first steps of the smartphone. The manufacturer wanted to respond quickly to the beginning of the controversy … in his own way.
While the case of “Bendgate” just starting to calm down a bit, it’s time another major product of this year end to report a build quality that could be faulty: the Galaxy Note 4 Among the first units delivered, some were unpleasantly surprised to find that there was a space between the edge of the screen and the outline surrounding the aluminum phone. Of course, we are not talking here of an abyss. But the space in question is large enough to allow a card. Fortunately for the Korean manufacturer, only a few models seem bad at the moment, the others being fully assembled, without the space between the display and the contour.
However, the statement sent by Samsung Trusted Reviews in the wake of the first reports reveals far more amazing. It reads:

The reported problem does not affect the functionality or quality of the Galaxy Note 4 We assure our users that all Galaxy Note 4 met our strict standards for manufacturing and quality control.

Samsung therefore not deny the existence of this problem, but seems to invite users have found to be satisfied. Not sure that this answer satisfies those who come to pay nearly $ 1000 for being among the first to own a Note 4

Samsung Galaxy Note 4: an assembly fault that spoils the … – ZDNet

Facing the absolute cardboard iPhone 6 (10 million copies sold in three days), the South Korean has decided to accelerate the release of its Galaxy Note 4, a direct competitor of the iPhone 6 Plus.

The phablet World number one mobile was
 launched Wednesday in China and South Korea when he was to land in the Empire
 Middle in October. It will be recalled that the iPhone 6 is not yet available
 China, which certainly explains the initiative of the Korean …

But the launch was marred by some testimonies of a manufacturing defect in the terminal. Apple has the iPhone manage the controversy that fold in trouser pockets, Samsung will have to face the crisis of the border too wide.

was able to discover several photos showing a mysterious space between the screen and the edge of the phone, where there would be the place to insert a business card cardboard, or the thickness of two A4 sheets superimposed. What greatly weaken the power the terminal and bad-buzz at the worst time for Samsung as the Korean media would be aware of this problem

The manufacturer plays big with this launch. This is to continue to dominate a market segment that it created and is growing. IDC, global shipments of phablets
  or hybrid phone-tablet anyway exceed those
 laptops, starting this year. These mobile devices
  whose screen is between 5.5 and 6.99 inches by IDC, thus elapse to 175 million units in 2014 and next year, growth should again be waiting for you at 318 million units planned.

Rest
  that according to the analyst, is that Apple will reap more fruit
 this craze even though the score 4 has a lot of tricks up his sleeve,
 especially true fiber B2B and smart stylus. But controversy over the manufacturing quality of the phablet could hurt Korean.

Especially since Samsung must now cope with falling profits. The slowdown in 2013 in the smartphone sector was confirmed earlier this year.
  This situation can be explained in particular by the intensification of
  competition in the entry level, especially in emerging countries
 like China and India.

This trend is again in the interim results from Samsung. The Chinese market, the largest market for smartphones (third annual deliveries), the Korean saw revenues melt nearly 2 billion over the second quarter alone. The Note 4 is precisely designed to reverse this trend …

Samsung Galaxy Alpha vs Sony Xperia Z3 Compact: below 5 … – Frandroid

Rare are the current high-end smartphones located below 5 inches. This is the problem of small hands of those who wish to store their phone in their pocket, or those who do not want their device to twist impromptu. Anyway, two of them are ready to compete on the market, the premium segment but limited screen: Samsung Galaxy Alpha and Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. How the tie

 Samsung Galaxy Alpha vs Xperia Z3 Compact

Before all, some of the features of both devices:

Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact

OS Version Android 4.4.2 KitKat Android 4.4.2 KitKat
Screen Size 4.7 inches 4.6 inches
Definition 1280 x 720 pixels 1280 x 720 pixels
Technology Super AMOLED Triluminos

Dimensions 132.4 x 65.5 x 6.7 mm 127 x 64 , 9 x 8.65 mm
Weight 115 grams 129 grams
Price 549 euros 499 euros

The first thing we see is that regardless of the device, do not expect to see the land Full HD on a 4.7-inch screen, it had yet done with its HTC One (M7) in 2013 does not matter, both are equal, with one side Triluminos Sony, and the another, the AMOLED Samsung Galaxy in the Alpha. The quality of the two slabs chosen and we appreciate their equivalent resolution in some pixels around.

As for performance, difficult to adjudicate on the graphic aspect of Mali T628MP6 held by Samsung, while we know that between a 320 and an Adreno 720 HD display, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact will behave perfectly. However, if graphically, we trust Qualcomm, to be fair to the Samsung Exynos compatibility with 4G + or 4G Category 6 (300 Mbps) when the Z3 Compact is “satisfied” category 4 . Currently, the difference has little as this network is in its infancy, but in two years, when its all new buyers have not yet changed their phone, maybe this will he a little more importance … This detail remains anyway to be considered

.

The premium materials

The format is almost identical to Sony and Samsung, the first being slightly less high but thicker than its competitor. Both have a handy format, but shoe design vary widely between the first and second. Sony relies on the simplicity of Xperia lines, with a glass back – fingerprints to predict – and hatches on the side of the device, including the insertion of a memory card. Slices are plastic tonal, and we appreciate the arrival of francs and unisex colors: the margins of black and white, the water green and coral

. xperia-z3-compact-gallery-02-1240x840-d4b40e38d70a9a192c7e2742778d113b

Meanwhile, Samsung emphasizes finesse smartphone brings a premium touch with slices of metal, but uses thin plastic and iridescent back that does not fit all. Also note the lack of microSD slot, with an internal memory set to 32 GB.

 Galaxy Alpha

From camera phones

In terms of multimedia, note the ability of the two devices to shoot in 4K. However, included in each of the sensors are different, one being a Sony format Exmor RS 1 / 2.3 “20.7 megapixels, while the Galaxy Alpha, 12 million points, may be slightly withdrawal

One last point anyway. while the Xperia Z3 Compact was announced at 499 euros, there is currently the Galaxy for pre-order Alpha to 649 euros, although the one can easily imagine reductions in approaching holiday season. And software radius, KitKat is the game for both smartphones. Neither Samsung nor Sony has commented on the matter, but no doubt these two flagship smartphones come under Android L on time; to navigate, so it will check whether a 4G + compatibility and the presence of a fingerprint reader Samsung compensate for 150 euros which separate the two terminals, keeping in mind that the Xperia Z3 Compact is waterproof and IP68 certified.

As a reminder, the Galaxy range Ax should offer smartphones that support, to attract consumers to their “premium” design and to some extent on a robust technology platform .

Samsung Galaxy Alpha magazine test American sites – Frandroid

Alpha Galaxy is now available for a few days on the other side of the Atlantic. And while we are still waiting for the new phone from Samsung in writing, our American colleagues have posted their impressions and tests. A summary of American tests.

 Galaxy Alpha

Only a few days before the release of Galaxy Alpha in France and Europe. The “little” phone from Samsung is interesting in many ways, starting with its design, which we enjoyed on our first touch, but also by its 4G compatibility +

The Verge.: a bad screen, but lovely design

the speed of its receipt of the data, The Verge did not speak once in his test of Alpha Galaxy. The American site, well known for his immoderate love of iPhone, wrote a test-river and rave about the latest Samsung. Vlad Savov according to the tester, Alpha Galaxy dimensions are perfect and the phone keeps admirably well in hand. Vlad congratulates Samsung also long for the choice of materials. The aluminum edges really are very beautiful and nice in hand and having put a rear shell “soft” plastic is good because it avoids having to handle a frosty morning the phone (I not making this up). For the journalist, the definition of the screen is not a problem and he particularly appreciates its high brightness, very practical outdoors. In contrast, he does not forgive him his very bad white balance and its blue hues , to listen, are atrocious.

 sam-iphone-alpha.0

The Verge found – due to – the Galaxy Alpha has a family resemblance to the iPhone 5S

Also in the bad points, Vlad Savov discusses at length the case of TouchWiz, he does not like. everything and is too messy. The material point of view, it’s a little better. The camera sensor is slightly less powerful than the Galaxy S5. The photographs on location and days are very convincing, but the Alpha behaves very badly when there is little light . In general, it lacks versatility. Finally, the battery 1860 mAh it seems a bit tight. She manages to keep the day, but not much. The journalist said it was undervalued and deserves a little more capacity. In the end, the Alpha scoop Galaxy Note 7.9 / 10. Despite a successful design, the blue screen spoils the whole.

 alpha-big-back.0

To The Verge, the rear seat is very comfortable in your hand.

TechRadar: the problem of value

Unlike The Verge, TechRadar takes into account the price of the phone. And if its conclusions are roughly the same as The Verge, TechRadar regret that advances in design of Galaxy Alpha make it more expensive than the Galaxy S5 while the latter has technical characteristics more impressive . ” In general, TechRadar loved the design of the Galaxy Alpha and called all his wishes to do the same Samsung with TouchWiz, which he considers to be the biggest weakness of the phone.

 key-Volume 900-100

All Testers agree that the volume control buttons are comfortable and well placed.

If the site is concerned that the screen (“ with rich colors and levels contrasts copies “) is only 720p as the screen of the HTC One M7 (2013) already proposed 1080p. Last criticized by TechRadar, phone battery does not take more than a day . As The Verge, TechRadar can not find it shameful (it shows 84% ​​after an hour and a half of video at 720p), but it would have been nice it is bigger. In the end, TechRadar appreciate the phone and found that its format is ideal for everyday use. It regrets, however its price, its interface and the lack of SD card port

Android Police. “ a good phone, but probably surtarifé

At Android Police, the criticism is a bit more positive than for the other two American sites. And because the author of the article states that “ TouchWiz launcher is probably my favorite on Android non-stock.” This did not, however, prevent criticism of the Astronomical Samsung pre-installed applications on the device and specify mischievously that some of them actually work number. In fact, the tester of Android Police is gradually fell in love with the phone. While the overall design is successful, it regrets the plastic back shell – cheap , and the lack of waterproofing . The lack of SD card slot is not really a problem since the 32GB base quite sufficient. Contrary to The Verge, the tester of Android Police saw no particular problems on the screen. It just tends to saturate the colors a bit, but has excellent brightness. It’s a good screen, nothing more.

font android galaxy alpha

Android Police has done benchmarks with the European version of the phone (in Exynos).

Regarding the camera, the picture is identical to that of The Verge: The sensor is not bad when the light is good, but is just passable in low light. It’s a bit better than the mid-range phones, but very far from what we saw on the Galaxy S5 or G3 LG for example. Finally, regarding the battery, the Galaxy Alpha located in the middle of today’s mobile phones. It takes one day, but not much more. However, this is pretty impressive for a battery of 1860 mAh. Finally, the tester of Android Police love the Samsung phone. But do not go up advise you to buy it, mainly because of its high price. This is also the title of the test, “ a good phone, but probably surtarifé .” Samsung spitting image basically.

About FrAndroid, it is very unlikely that we publish the test of Alpha Galaxy a few weeks. The Alpha Galaxy is certainly already available for pre-order in the vast majority of online stores at a price between 650 and 690 euros.

Galaxy A7: a dual-SIM Galaxy Alpha with 5.5-inch screen – Phonandroid

If we had much information about the technical specifications of Galaxy A3 and A5, we still knew nothing A7 Galaxy , apart from its price. A price to be included 450 to $ 500 , and informing us that it will be the most ambitious of the three models, the high-end Series A

Today, now SamMobile returns to the subject with New information on the Galaxy A7 following its recent listing on the site of import export, Zauba.

We learn that his sport a screen diagonal of 5.5-inch display . Unfortunately, the report does not specify whether it will be a definition screen HD 720p or 1080p Full HD, but given its price, is rather inclined to favor the first hypothesis even if the latter is more tempting.

In terms of design, it would be a matter of semi-metal design in the vein of Alpha Galaxy, reinforcing the 5.5 inches of that of an alternative idea . 4G will also be present, along with a dual SIM slot . Characteristics that should also check out the other two models in the series A.

No mention is unfortunately made regarding the type of embedded processor by the Galaxy A7. This assumes either that it will equip a 64 processor Snapdragon bit more ambitious 410 is a Exynos 5430 Soc like but again, this is the first assumption that s ‘is the most plausible.

A Galaxy A7 which nevertheless place as the most interesting of the three models. Unfortunately, if the Galaxy A5 and A3 will be sold internationally, it will not be the case with their big brother of 5.5 inches, Samsung has decided to only book in some markets so as not to cannibalize sales Galaxy Alpha
