The impression in the heart of mobility

Technology: Print in mobility solutions provide companies flexibility and productivity without disrupting their organizational models. Among the offerings on the market, the Samsung manages to balance cost and safety.

Mobility no longer affects only commercial nomads. It now covers most employees, whether they work inside or outside their company. Sharing and transfer of information does not overshadow provided the printing or scanning the document. Instead, to print or retrieve a document from anywhere and at any time becomes an asset if not a necessity.

But if the technology is mature, budgets remain at the heart of the concerns of policy makers who want to capitalize on the existing infrastructure while gaining flexibility. Facilitate access to the print appears to be a priority if they can ensure the confidentiality of information transferred.

Print from your smartphone or tablet 

Tested and awarded the BLI independent laboratory, the application provides MobilePrintmultifunction Samsung ways to print using tablets or smartphones. It is compatible with a wide variety of files, including PDF, TXT, and Microsoft Office formats, and supports cloud storage and sharing of data with the desktop, and the printing of web content.

MobilePrint not only to establish a non-secure connection between a mobile terminal and a printer wireless connection, it also relies on a set of printing options that makes it possible to adjust key parameters, including the number of copies, paper size and orientation. Via an application integrated navigation solution Samsung also facilitates the printing of data from Google Drive or social networking sites.

MobilePrint is also able to print photos stored on a device or from a camera.

Retrieve scanned data with their mobile

Fast from printers and multifunction Samsung connected to the network scanning relies also on a wireless smart board technology in MobilePrint connection. The Android and iOS mobile devices are then able to recover the main digital formats (JPG, PNG and PDF) for direct consultation. And as for remote printing, the user can play on essential options such as multi-page PDF, color modes, surveys and quality levels.

Share content

With MobilePrint, information is usually routed through an email server to SmarThru Workflow 3and disseminated to the print device. But the South Korean manufacturer goes further supports printing without a pilot in the cloud via Google Drive. Another advantage is the technology images MobilePrint that allows mobile devices to easily transfer content to the mail accounts, social networking sites and other applications or send files to PC transfer.

Finally, Samsung stands with NFC (Near Field Communication) that now offers some of its laser lines. The users simply place their smartphone near a Samsung NFC-enabled printer to print their documents, the two devices connect automatically without requiring additional installation.

Fingerprint reader: it is precisely at Samsung

Technology: Samsung took its first developer conference to discuss the topic of biometrics. The integration of a system release via a fingerprint reader in future smartphones and tablets seems on track.

For several weeks of rumors concerning projects Samsung on biometrics. The Korean giant has finally addressed the issue at itsdevelopers conference that just ended in San Francisco. Samsung said the release by reading the fingerprint part of its roadmap and a software development kit (SDK) was also planned.

An expected evolution while Apple has the iPhone 5S with a fingerprint reader and qu'HTC did the same on the One Max . It is reasonable to imagine that future Samsung smartphones and tablets offer a biometric reader. But the Korean company is still short on details on the subject.

It also remembers the strange episode of true-false redemption of Fingerprint Cards where a press release announced the acquisition of the Swedish company Samsung for $ 650 million.Information ultimately denied by the two companies. (Eureka Press)

The screen of the Galaxy S3 is more accurate than the iPhone 5S and 5C iPhone

A new study shows that the touch screen of the Samsung Galaxy S3 is much more precise than the iPhone 5S or 5C Apple iPhone. It should be noted that the iPhone 5S and 5C iPhone were announced last September, while the Galaxy S3 has been marketed since last year.

For some, it is a point that does not matter, while for other consumers who are looking for absolute satisfaction, that has a great interest. In any case, this is what prompted the testers at OptoFidelity (a Finnish company that specializes in test and measurement automation, especially in machine vision and digital imaging systems, including touch screens ) to compare the two units.

Therefore OptoFidelity tested the performance of the touch screen of the Galaxy S3, the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C via a robot arm touching the screen on various specific issues. The results showed that the new Apple smartphone will come out just after the test, stating inter alia that the sides and top of the screen is less responsive to touches. For its part, the Galaxy S3 was doing pretty well, because the result was similar whether in the center or at the ends of the screen. Thus, typing on the virtual keyboard is much more accurate on the Samsung device either in portrait or landscape mode, unlike the new Apple devices.

In any case, we can say that Apple has a way to go to be as responsive as a Samsung screen. However, it is curious qu'OptoFidelity had not compared the new iPhone with the most recent South Korean firm device like the Galaxy S4 or Galaxy Note 3 among others. Perhaps to show that Apple has a delay on Samsung at this level? Because if Apple is late with its new products against former Smartphones of its competitors, you wonder what it is with the latest smartphones released by Samsung for example.

Applications NPC Galaxy Note 3 are available for the Galaxy S4

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 embeds several applications that are related to the default overlay TouchWizz, so that you can also be found on the latest products from the Korean company, like the Galaxy S4 for example. But that does not mean that the Galaxy Note 3 does not have exclusive features. Speaking of exclusivity, hide the developers at XDA have managed to extract some features related to the implementation of the camera of the Galaxy Note 3 to install on a Galaxy S4.

For example, we observed the functioning of Panorama 360 mode, a mode that is similar to the photosphere available on the stock Android 4.2 Jelly Bean deouis. However, the developer indicates that as these applications are designed to work with version 4.3 Jelly Bean with the latest Samsung overlay, it could be that they have some bugs in version 4.2.2. Moreover, he also said that it is better not to flash the new features on anyone running this version which ROM.

Anyway, if you are disappointed not to have found these features on your Galaxy S4 after it has been updated to Android 4.3, you can install them by going to the forum XDA developers to find different instructions and download files.

It should be noted that if the 360 panorama mode does not work after flashing, you can copy this file in the / system / framework /. Do not forget to give us your opinion via the comments.

Getting Started Samsung Galaxy Round

After the launch of the Galaxy Round Korea, it took only a few days for the curved Samsung Smartphone is available in Hong Kong at a price of 620 euros. Moreover Tofu-Keitai is one of the few stores to offer the device (if you want to have one, you know where you have to watch ...). Therefore, this store has just lucky to make a brief takeover of the device to share their feelings, and Engadget is one of those testers.

I remind you that the Galaxy Round takes more or less the same features as the Galaxy Note 3 both in design at the level of specifications. Indeed, the design of the Galaxy Round looks like a Galaxy Note 3 that was accidentally left in a microwave oven. Face the front of the terminal is bent while the back still has a plastic shell with a textured faux leather. What differentiates the Galaxy Note Galaxy Round 3 is probably the battery capacity is a bit less than the Galaxy Note 3.

Otherwise, we always discover a 800 quad-core Snapdragon Qualcomm processor that is clocked at 2.3 GHz, 3GB RAM and an internal memory of 32 GB or 64 GB which is expandable via micro SD card.

While the curved shape of the screen does not seem to be very practical, one can notice that the navigation in the user interface is not affected. Indeed, we see that the outer curve with our thumb to reach the other end of the screen when your smartphone is used with one hand. Moreover, contrary to expectations, the Galaxy Round will slip into a back pocket of trousers.

Also, the tester at Engadget also appreciated the "Roll Effect" that displays on the screen time and important notifications when rocking the Galaxy Round on one side while the latter is placed on a surface plane.

The fact that the Galaxy Round is distributed in limited quantities will no doubt Samsung sound the ground to improve the use of the flexible screen in any new generations of flexible smartphones. And who knows, maybe in the form of combining Galaxy Round and LG G Flex, we will later Smartphone into a bowl?

Update: Major concerns battery for Galaxy S4?

The Galaxy S4 , in addition to displaying sales figures deca those desired bySamsung , is plagued by serious concerns battery .

Update: France Samsung just contacted us to tell us that the owners of a copy ofGalaxy S4 defective must directly contact the service by the manufacturer, and not go to a Samsung center (this approach for Germany). To do, go here .

Some users of the Samsung Galaxy S4 complain effect of battery problems. Sometimes these will display a paltry autonomy. In other cases, more serious this time, some batteries have "inflated" substantially, clearly pointing to a degree of danger.

Fortunately, Samsung has already noted this problem, and said in a press release:

"We are aware of this problem, which affected a limited number of users. [...] We urge all those affected by this desire to visit their nearest Samsung center, where they can receive a free replacement battery. We remain committed to deliver the best user experience for our customers. "

Obviously, almost 30% of users Galaxy S4 would potentially affected by this concern. This, it must be said, has nothing to do with an isolated problem.

The Galaxy S5 look at you (perhaps) in the eye!

While the next Mobile World Congress to be held from February 24 to 27, 2014 in Barcelona, ​​the first rumors about the big announcements of the event are already known. Including one on the Galaxy S5 .

Moreover, for the moment, they only concern the future Samsung Galaxy S5, especially its user identification system.

If new models of iPhone and HTC integrate fingerprint recognition, the S5 Korean group should pick a technology to scan iris recognition.

No official source has not come yet to confirm this rumor launched by AndroidSAS, but the battle between the mobile players would necessarily push Samsung renchérir deal with recent initiatives by competitors. Open eye to sort fact from fiction
