Samsung has Patented Design of Upcoming Galaxy S5

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 05:49 PM PDT

If you ask any one of the millions of Samsung customers what is wrong with the new devices put out then most probably nearly all the customers will say that it is in fact the time washed same old "nature inspired" body design that the tech giant garnishes each of its upcoming products with. Perhaps this trend is soon to see a change as design patents just revealed denote that the company is probably at work coming up with a new design for its Smartphone lineup.

Patent boltIn the images one can not a bold square shaped design, with veering slants at the edges taking away a curved form factor. Evidently it is quite similar to the form factors employed by companies like Sony and HTC, with the possibility that the tech giant may use better feeling elements to build the product, but no such information can be garnered from the patent alone, so as of now the only certainty is the three dimensional body design of this patent.

Patent BoltThere is as of now no sure time scale as to when we might actually see a device with these edges however Samsung applied for these patents in 2011 in South Korea and in 2012 in the U.S. Samsung has also patented new icons that look to be in their upcoming Tizen OS, so it's entirely possible that only Tizen devices will use the new design, whereas the Android powered devices may still incorporate past designs.

Moto X to include Nano-SIM Card Technology as iPhone 5

Posted: 31 Jul 2013 10:44 AM PDT

Current reports on Moto X have revealed the device is going to follow some iPhone features. According to a latest image posted by GSM Inside, a mobile website, this Tuesday the device contains a nano-SIM tray and card. The image is said to be of the upcoming Moto X device.

Moto X The struggle over the ability to offer nano-tech technology stretched out over a long time before Apple finally made it to the finalist company earlier year. In the time following a few months, Apple announced iPhone 5 to welcome its nano-SIM spec and be the first handset to do so. Since, Apple owned the rights to the standard nano-SIM spec, thus any company wanting to include the same technology in their Smartphones must use the standard spec.

The new Moto X coming with a nano-SIM technology might be exciting on one hand but on the other side, the users currently having a micro-SIM card won't be too happy to know Moto X joined the league. It will not let them grab their Moto X and put their SIM card in right there and then rather they will be required to get a nano-SIM first.

However, there is still no concrete evidence whether Moto X is really going to support nano-SIM technology since Google as well as Motorola have given no clue as to what the device has in store for its users. We are not far from finding it out as Thursday is just around the corner when Google will unveil Moto X at a press event.
