Samsung Officially Introduces The Galaxy Note 4 Duos In China

When no one seems to be paying attention, the giant tech vendor from the South Korea, Samsung, has silently introduced a dual-SIM version of its latest phablet device, the Galaxy Note 4. This new variant, however, is only available for the Chinese market. As it turns out, the dual-SIM version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is available in three variants. The first variant is the SM-N9109 which is specifically designated for the China Telecom carrier. The second variant is the SM-N9106W which is designated for the China Unicom carrier and the last one is the SM-N9108V. The latter is not designated for any carriers, it’s a SIM-free version. This means that users of the device can use it with just about any carrier of their choosing.

According to the SamMobile, the first SIM card slot of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Duos supports 4G connection already. It has been designed to fit the 4G networks provided by the carrier companies in China, which use the TDD-LTE or the FDD-LDD. Unfortunately, though, the second SIM card slot only has support for 2G network at best. Besides the dual SIM card support, this version of the Note 4 also has slight spec differences when compared to its original counterpart. Samsung has degraded the internal storage capacity to 16 GB. For your reminder, the original version has 32GB built-in storage capacity. And, while the original version of this latest generation phablet from Samsung carries a 3,220mAh battery, the dual-SIM version carries a 3,000mAh battery.

Apart from those slight differences, the remainders of the specifications stay true to the original version that the customers in the North America and Europe can get their hands on. It is still supported by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 CPU running at the clock speed of 2.7 GHz. In addition to that, it has 3GB RAM, 5.7-inch display with quad HD resolution, 16MP main camera on the rear, 3.7MP secondary camera on the front and the Android 4.4 (KitKat) OS. The Galaxy Note 4 Duos phablet, the SIM-free version, which Samsung is offering to the customers in China comes at a slightly higher price than the one that the South Korean company is offering to the customers at the rest of the world. Samsung is demanding 5,199 Chinese Yuans for the device. Yet, as for the other two variants, the prices remain to be seen as of this moment.

Samsung Sells 4.5 Million Galaxy Note 4

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has officially landed in our markets, which began its journey yesterday after starting their distribution roughly a month ago in his native South Korea and China.

Today we know the first sales figures to be perhaps the most important terminal of the Year for the Android platform, because thanks to a Korean local media has emerged that in its first month, Samsung Galaxy Note sold through four 4 million.

They are similar to those recorded by its predecessor figures, as the Note 3 harvested 5 million units sold in the same period, and should be taken into account if we notice that only sold in a handful of countries while still in the process of expansion its global launch.

One of the things that most concern at this time to all owners of a smartphone is to know when your particular model will be updated. Owners of a Motorola phone are calm, and quite possibly in November we can enjoy the new version of +Android. Others, however, are still unsure and when many of these phones have never been exactly cheap. Well if any of you have Samsung Galaxy S5 can be happy, is that since SamMobile said the flagship Samsung Note not counting the range could have Lollipop Android5.0 during the month of December. 

In this story we told you about a month ago rumors, but according to SamMobile own, these new rumors come from a reliable source so it is almost one hundred percent in December likely to appear early S5 running under Lollipop. If anyone wants to know how to run Android on a Galaxy Lollipop S5, we show a few weeks ago a video showing a preview. Anyway you have to keep in mind that the first Samsung Galaxy S5 to be updated will be free, also it will not be the same time in all regions and also those who have chosen a terminal telephone operator, may update occurs during 2015. 

Still, it's good to know how brands are taking seriously the update many of its models to the latest version of Android, and that mark is that he chooses not to upgrade to Lollipop possibly the most anticipated Android version of above Ice Cream Sandwich- even may lose the favor of users and that today would dig his own grave.

Nokia Devices Is Now Microsoft Lumia

As a direct consequence of Microsoft's 2013 acquisition of the Finnish group's mobile devices division, the Nokia name will soon be phased out and replaced by Microsoft Lumia, according to The Verge. The new name echoes that of Nokia's Windows Phone device range sold since 2011.

Nokia France is among the first local divisions preparing to transition its social media accounts to the new name. "We are about to become Microsoft Lumia," the company announced to its followers on Facebook. The Nokia name will not disappear entirely, as the original Finnish company still exists as Nokia Networks, which focuses on networking, mapping and telecommunications infrastructure. Nonetheless, the disappearance of Nokia as a phone brand marks the end of an era.

The Finnish manufacturer was among the leading pioneers in the mobile phone industry, launching several models as early as the 1980s. More importantly, Nokia was also the world's top-selling mobile phone brand for around 15 years before being overtaken by Samsung in 2012. Several Nokia phones released over this period were so popular that they are still regarded as symbols of their time (3310, 8110, etc.). But the brand quickly fell behind in the smartphone market led by Apple and Samsung.
