Samsung unveils the 5-inch Galaxy Grand with Jelly Bean


 Samsung has announced a new smartphone, the Galaxy Grand, which boasts of dual-SIM capabilities and runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. No launch date or price of the smartphone has been revealed.
The reason we call this a love child of the Note II and the S III is because its exterior looks like the S III and it also has a large 5-inch display quite reminiscent of the Note. In terms of other specifications under the hood, the Galaxy Grand boasts of a dual-core 1.2GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. The rear houses an 8MP snapper with the ability to shoot HD video and the front has a 2MP video-calling camera. It also sports 8GB built-in storage expandable up to 64GB via a microSD card. It also includes other standard specifications such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS and sensors such as an accelerometer, compass, and gyroscopic sensor.

The only downside to the Galaxy Grand appears to be the display. It is 5-inches which is larger than the 4.8-inch display of the Galaxy S III and is smaller than the Note II which is 5.5-inches. The resolution of the display is disappointing at 480 x 800 when the S III and the Note II have a resolution of 1280 x 720. So, it’s surprising that the Galaxy Grand has such a low-resolution display despite having some good specifications.
The only explanation for this is that the device is targeted at the budget 5-inch phablets that have started making an appearance in the market. Recently, we have seen the iBall Andi 5C (read our review here) and the Zync Cloud Z5 (read our review here) hit store shelves in India.

Dropbox updates cloud-storage product

Image
The battle between two of Silicon Valley's most richly valued private internet companies ratcheted up as Dropbox unveiled the first comprehensive upgrade to its cloud-storage product aimed at corporate users.  With the move, the $4 billion-valued Dropbox, which has been a popular sensation in the consumer market, is squarely taking on Box, a similar file-sharing service that has positioned itself in recent years as the option for security-conscious corporate IT departments.  Dropbox's new software allows IT administrators to closely track which users have viewed a file and when it was viewed, and to instantaneously grant or withhold file permissions. The software also allows administrators to rope off certain files so they may be edited but not downloaded or shared in any way - a feature viewed as critical, for instance, in law, medicine or banking.  The new " dashboard" is the first major overhaul since the company introduced its Dropbox for Teams p...

Image
Apple has had a few problems with its latest iPhone and  iPad software update . Released just last month, iOS 6.1 was meant to be a relatively significant update bringing enhanced Siri capabilities, LTE support to more countries, and more iTunes Match features. But it seems as if the update is doing more harm than good. The Verge reports that a new bug, "lets anyone bypass your iPhone password lock and access your  phone app , view or modify contacts, check your  voicemail, and look through your photos (by attempting to add a photo to a contact)." The instructions are pretty simple. First you have to pretend to turn the phone off, then make an aborted  emergency call , then a quick bit of off button and cancel pressing.
