Samsung Galaxy S3 Final Rumor Roundup & Thoughts

In less than 24 hours Samsung will officially release the long waited Samsung Galaxy S3. Just before the release, a big research, I’ll give you my final rumor roundup for the upcoming device.

In my opinion, the Samsung Galaxy S series are the best and most successful Android smartphones in the market. Both previous generations were excellent devices and the biggest opponents of the iPhone. 

Now let's take a look, on what I think the Samsung Galaxy S3 will look like and of course it's specks. Before you read, the following things you are going to read, are just rumors. They can be 50% right and 50% false, so please, keep that in mind.

Let's start with the specks:

Display: 4.8" Super Amoled HD+ 720p with Gorilla Glass 2

Processor: Samsung Exynos Quad-Core Chip clocked at 1.4 GHz (Confirmed)

Ram: 1GB

Storage: Two models with 16GB/32GB of internal storage, expandable with Micro SD card up to 32GB

Battery: 2050 mAH

Connectivity: 4G LTE & 3G Support, Wi-Fi

Front facing camera: 12.1 Mpix recording FULL HD 1080p and flash support

Back facing camera: 2 Mpix recording HD 720p

Software: Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) & TouchWiz 4.0 User Interface

Now let's take a look at the design. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is rumored to have glass front, high-quality plastic back, metallic sides, physical home button and two touch sensitive menu buttons.

Here is a photo from "PhoneArena", of the Samsung Galaxy S3, that I personally think it's the most valid.

Overall I think that the new ”Galaxy” will be the best Android phone in the market and one of the top 5 smartphones in the world, including the Apple iPhone 4S, the HTC One X, the Samsug Galaxy Nexus and the Motorola Droid Bionic.

With that being said, what's your thoughts on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S3? Feel free to leave your opinions and questions that are related with this article, in the comment section below or mention me on Twitter @OrestGPap.

"Xbox 720" - My Expectations and What I Want to See

Since 2004 I’ve been a dedicated XBOX fan. The original XBOX was my first ever gaming console. In 2006 I bought the whole brand new back then, original XBOX 360 the version with 16GB HDD. For six years I and million other XBOX consumers have been waiting for the new "XBOX 720" (not an official name). In today's article we are going to be taking a look at my expectations of Microsoft's next generation gaming console.

In my opinion the third generation XBOX will be one of the best upgrades ever. It's going to have a lot of hardware upgrades and a whole new external design. Just before you read my "XBOX 720" rumors, I just want to tell you, that those are just rumors; they can be 50% true and 50% false, so please, keep that in mind.

First of all, the new XBOX will have installed "WiFi-N" antennas. I've been testing my friend's new "XBOX Elite 4GB", and the WiFi antenna wasn't that much good. So in conclusion we are going to definitely see an upgrade there. Another feature we may see is upgraded memory. It's rumored that the new XBOX will have a 250GB hard drive. That's really useful for users who have a big collection of games, and download things from XBOX Live store etc. Another thing I’ve heard about the console and have been discussing it with a friend is that, the new XBOX will support "Thunderbolt technology". I don't believe this rumor a lot, but it would be exciting if the new XBOX will support it. We'll definitely see an upgrade at the RAM, and we may see Intel’s Ivy Bridge on the new XBOX. Ivy Bridge would just be amazing, and it's one of the rumors I definitely want to see on Microsoft's new masterpiece. About the design, I don't know many things but definitely don't believe in those articles and Google images that show a glass-built XBOX. At least for this generation XBOX will be still made of solid plastic. 

Many people will ask the release date. Until now there isn't an official date release, but from my expectations and some really valid sources I have, the new XBOX will be released at between the summer of 2013 until winter of 2014.

With that being said, what's your expectations on the upcoming XBOX? Feel free to leave your opinions and questions in the comment section below or mention me on Twitter @OrestGPap. Thank you all for reading.

BestSkinsEver Full Body Screen Protector for iPhone 4/4S Review & Giveaway

In this article we are going to be taking a look at the "BestSkinsEver Full Body Screen Protector for the iPhone 4/4S". Before I start the review, I want to thank BestSkinsEver.com, for sending me this product out for review and for sponsoring this giveaway. Read the rest of the article to find out if BestSkinsEver live up to he name and the rules of the giveaway.

In the package you will find all the parts of the product and an instruction manual to help you install the screen protector.

Before starting the installation process, make sure to:

1.) Wash your hands

2.) Switch off your iPhone before starting the installation process.

3.) Clean your device with a microfiber cleaning cloth.

4.) In a spray bottle, fill it with water and mix it with soap to create the solution. If you don't have a spray bottle, find a small bowl and do the same thing. This will help you to install all the parts of the product with an exact precise. Before you install any part make sure to spray or dip the skin in the solution.

Installation process:

1.) First of all start with the front and the back screen protectors.

2.) Install the protector for the home button.

3.) Install the small protector for the speaker.

4.) Install the right side's protector.

5.) Install the protector for the microphone.

6.) Install the left's side protector.

7.) Install the protector, which is for; between the two volume buttons.

8.) Install the last piece of the protector which begins from the left side of the headphone import and it ends before the "Plus" volume button.

For more info on how to install the product on your phone visit BestSkinsEver website to learn more: BestSkinsEver installation help

After installing use a credit card to remove the bubbles, and if you can't remove all of them, they will be removed on their own in 24 to 48 hours.

The installation process is really easy when the user uses the spray bottle, but I found out that if you use the solution into a bowl, the installation process is going to take a lot more time.

Now lets take a look at the good features of the product. The screen protector has a cutout for both cameras, volume buttons and the profile switcher button. It has also for the headphones import, the microphone, the light indicator, the mico SIM card slot, for the USB cable import and for both speakers. And finally it offers great protection, the phone feels very solid in the hand and the material quality is really good.

Now let's take a look at the cons of the product. First of all the buttons are a bit harder to press and the profile switcher was a lot more difficult to use. The iPhone while with the screen protectors installed can't be compatible with hard cases; however it is with most silicon ones. 

Overall I will rate this product 7/10, because, in my opinion, in the package it should be also included a small spray bottle with the solution and a smoothie card to remove the bubbles. Also if you don't use a spray bottle and you use the solution into a bowl, installation process is a pain.

Do I suggest this product? If you are an iPhone user who wants his device to be fitted in a hard case, I would definitely not recommend because with the protectors installed the iPhone can't be placed in hard cases (except if you use silicon cases). If you like your device to be naked; I will surely recommend it. It protects the device from scratches, you’ll have access to all the buttons and imports, and the device feels very solid in the hand.

What is CISPA? Should you be worried?

After SOPA and PIPA, a new U.S. government project will may start that will “destroy” our private online life. This project is called CISPA. But, what CISPA means? And what exactly does? Read the rest of the article to find out.

Let's start with the meaning of the word CISPA. CISPA stands for Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. Now let's take a look what this project will do. It makes companies (who support this project), to gather all the information about you and share it with the government. All your info will be sent to the national security agency for security reasons. Companies will be able to monitor everything the user does on their network and share it with the government. Anything private the user does, companies can report what they claim to be a "Cyber-threat". Your question will now be, "What is a cyber threat"? It's anything that makes the effort to disrupt or destroy networks or make threats to things owned by the government or privet companies. Something that shocked me is, that some companies and networks, that fought back with all Internet users against SOPA and PIPA, are now supporting it.

Those companies are:

1.) AT&T

2.) Verizon

3.) FaceBook

4.) Intel

5.) IBM

6.) Microsoft

From my perspective of things, I definitely don't see this happening, due to of course, the user’s privacy on the Internet.

I personally don't support that idea, because I don't want anyone except from me, to have access to my private information.

For more details on this topic please watch my friend's Malik YouTube video based on it.
