iPhone users in China rush to download new Chinese keyboards for iOS 8

 
For iPhone users who found Apple’s default iOS keyboard too finicky, the company’s allowance of third-party keyboards for iOS 8 marked a cause for celebration. But while English speakers (or perhaps more accurately, Romance language speakers) are going gaga over SwiftKey and Fleksy for iPhone, in China, people are flocking to keyboards offered up by domestic giants Baidu and Sogou.

Even the most dedicated Apple fans have complained about the iPhone’s default text-input system, which favors small fingertips and tends to go overkill with autocorrect. But for Chinese iPhone users, it’s even worse. For one thing, typing in Chinese is (and probably always will be) a chore, due to the script’s complexity. Since language input has always been a drag for Mandarin speakers, internet companies like Baidu and Sogou have offered up their own language-input software since the desktop era.

With data collected since the late nineties, Baidu and Sogou have honed their predictive technology to a degree where they can guess obscure words and slang. They also let users store words for later use (this is more useful than you’d imagine), and allow for deeper customizations for features like handwriting input.

Given the constant headaches one faces when typing Chinese on any device, as well as their longevity on other devices – many young phone owners likely grew up with Baidu and Sogou for PC – it’s not surprising to see how these input apps have shot up the rankings in China’s app store. According to App Annie, Baidu’s language input app currently occupies the top spot in the free apps category, while Sogou’s sits at number three (Plants vs Zombies is sandwiched in the middle). One day after their arrival in China’s App Store, Baidu’s app has more than 1,000 five-star ratings, while Sogou’s has almost 3,000.

Many writers have pointed to the large-screen iPhone 6 plus as an Asia play for Apple. Likewise, the keyboard concession could be interpreted as one too.

Somewhat ironically, Apple might not stand to benefit from Chinese enthusiasm for iOS 8 as early as it hoped. The commercial release of the latest iPhone models has been delayed indefinitely in China, allegedly due to problems Apple has faced obtaining proper licenses from the country’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).

Amazon Kindle Voyage

Amazon Kindle Voyage

Cashy over at stadt-bremerhaven.de uncovered a treat for us today by stumbling upon a new eReader. For a brief period of time Amazon.de showed off the Kindle Voyage, a 6 inch eReader with a pixel density of 300 ppi (current tops at 212 ppi).  According to their site it will start shipping on November 4th.  All we have as proof of the new device is the screen shot below.  We wonder when we’ll be hearing about this from Amazon…officially.

If you haven’t checked out Cashy’s Blog you really should, he’s one of the most respected bloggers in Germany and he’s a very good friend of everyone over at Mobile Geeks.

Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime leaked

Samsung can’t be happy about leaks of their new Galaxy Grand Prime. Amazon silently puts a new eReader into their shop and Chromebooks with Wireless Charging are closer than you think. This and more after the break.

Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime leaked

Samsung has a new mid-range smartphone in the works. The selfie-focused Galaxy Grand Prime (G-530) has a 5MP front-facing camera. Under the hood we have a 5 inch display with a resolution of 960 x 540, a Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor running at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of memory. But don’t worry, it does come with a MicroSD card slot. It even comes with a 2,600 mAh battery in case you cared to know.

This leak is thanks to a Vietnamese site called thegioididong.com

There’s a good chance you’ve owned a ZTE device before

There’s a good chance you’ve owned a ZTE device before, but you may not have known it. ZTE has built so-called “white label” handsets sold in the United States under carrier brands for years, but now it is trying to build consumer recognition in the United States. One of the first phones sold in the United States under the ZTE name is an affordably priced “phablet” handset for T-Mobile. The ZTE Z Max has two things going for it: First, it’s got a big 5.7-inch screen running at a 720p resolution. Second, it’s cheap — $252 unlocked, or $10.50 per month on a T-Mobile payment plan. For that price, you actually get a fair amount of phone for your money — a midrange Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, an 8-megapixel camera, a big 3,400mAh battery, and Android 4.4 that’s blissfully close to the way Google intended, with only a few tweaks like T-Mobile apps and ZTE’s custom camera software. IMG_3155 IMG_3161 There’s a lot of competition in the $200 to $300 price range for smartphones in the United States, not to mention in markets like China where the mid-range is the sector that receives the most attention. Motorola has the new Moto G, but the latest version doesn’t have LTE support yet. Sharp’s new bezel-less phone is also a strong contender, especially for Sprint subscribers, but its screen is only 4.7-inches. If you want a big, phablet-type phone for cheap, the ZTE Z Max will be one of your best options this fall.

Samsung said to be working on its own GPU – how far can they get?

Manufacturing GPUs takes massive amounts of talent, research, testing, experience and time. It is really an exhausting market, which is why very few companies embark in the quest to build these. Good GPUs are pivotal for a good experience, which means other manufacturers have to pay licensing fees and use one of these few companies’ video cards.

If the latest reports are to be believed, Samsung could be breaking itself away from this chain and making its very own graphics cards. They have been working on this for years, according to information given by “Silicon Valley and insiders.” The company has also been hiring talent from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel along the way.



The main question here is whether Samsung will be able to become successful in GPU manufacturing. They are (arguably) good with hardware, software and CPUs, but those are completely different worlds compared to graphics cards.

We can assume nothing significant will come soon, but we may very well see Samsung devices with Samsung GPUs coming to the market at some point in the near future. Even if not the best, it would be a significant jump for the mid-range smartphone/tablet market.



Licensing fees can be expensive, not to mention manufacturing hardware in-house will often save large companies money in the long run. Samsung would then be able to transfer at least part of those savings to consumers.

It would also be a great move to avoid lawsuits, like the one NVIDIA has initiated against Samsung and Qualcomm due to GPU patent infringement (which is ultimately Qualcomm’s fault). There is a plethora of reasons why Samsung would want to make its own component. They must make them right, though.

Samsung is a giant in tech, so they may have the resources to get it all worked out. But please do remember not to get your hopes too high. These are still rumors and should be taken with a grain of salt.

New Moto X commercials tout camera, Moto Assist and Moto Voice

The new Moto X is now available for pre-order and it’s time to start pimping it to the masses! Motorola has released a fun trio of commercials to show people what the Moto X is all about.

In terms of features, no one can deny the Moto X is a one-of-a-kind smartphone. Of course, voice actions are in the spot light here. Moto Voice allows you to perform a multitude of tasks without having to touch your smartphone. You can use your voice to check your calendar, send messages, post to social ask for information and more.


Moto Assist joins the commercial frenzy by showing off how the new Moto X can recognize if you are driving or not. This smart technology can then decide if it should automatically switch over to voice actions or not.


These features are pretty amazing for safety and productivity, but we also want some fun, right? Motorola decided to make the third commercial about the camera, which has some great features for capturing your most precious moments.


Moto says these features are all about pure style and performance. We have gone hands-on with the new Moto X and can attest to how great the device is. If you are set on going all in with the Moto X, you can go pre-order it right after checking out these awesome commercials!
