Samsung Galaxy Fame official specifications

Everybody does not necessarily means slamming half a salary in a ultra powerful smartphone. Samsung has understood and it is now a long time that the South Korean manufacturer offers officiant terminals on the input range. And indeed, it has just lifted the veil on the Galaxy Fame, a smartphone that shines obviously not its technical characteristics, but that should interest all those who do not necessarily have great needs, or who are looking for a complementary product.

From the outside, the Galaxy Fame looks a bit like a Galaxy S3. More compact and more massive, obviously. Also note that this new phone will be sold in two colors, the same colors as those originally proposed for the S3. The mobile user will be able to opt either for the model "pearl white" model or "blue metal". Cool.

Under the hood is a TFT screen of 3.5 inches, a processor brand unknown 1 GHz, 512 MB ​​RAM, 4 GB of storage space complemented by a micro SD card slot, 5-megapixel sensor and a second sensor on the front for video conferencing. In addition, it is also possible to take advantage of WiFi, Bluetooth, a 1300 mAh battery - more than enough given the specifications of the beast - and ... and ... and an NFC chip! Yes, you read correctly, the new low-end mobile Samsung will use NFC technology, the same technology that is currently lacking in the iPhone 5. But be careful, because it will be optional ...

No further information however on the price or the availability date of the mobile. It will probably wait until MWC 2013 to see clearer but if this is not enough, you can always go snooping in the press release issued by Samsung. However, what is known is that the Galaxy Fame Jelly Bean run under 4.1.

HTC M7: sensor type "ultrapixel"?

We thought all know the HTC M7 but it seems that this is actually not the case. The guy might actually have retained an asset in his game, an asset that would affect its camera function and more specifically the onboard sensor. Even though all the sensors on the market are expressed in megapixels, HTC have opted for another home device, an alternative that even has a name very promising in terms of marketing: the ultrapixel or the ultrapixels is the choice. And if you want to know more about this funny thing, well you can say that you are very well fallen.

I do not know if you have seen the information but Peter Chou made ​​a splash last Friday by presenting, on the occasion of the celebration of the end of the year organized by HTC, one of the most anticipated mobile time. Which one? No, it is obviously not the Galaxy S4, but the HTC M7. The interesting thing is that Peter has defended his actions by saying he wanted to test the camera ... its new smartphone.

Interesting, no? Of course, since all sensors smartphones typically operate in the same way. Finally out of 808 Nokia PureView, obviously. In this context, one may wonder why the CEO of the firm needed to test this function. According to Pocket-Lint, the explanation is clear enough, the HTC M7 benefit of a different sensor than what is currently on the market.

Ultrapixel: three layers of 4.3 megapixels each for a single sensor

Different in what way? Well actually, the sensor of the HTC M7 involve three layers of pixels, each containing 4.3 megapixels, and a total of 12.9 megapixels. Interesting but do not summarize ultrapixel a riot of megapixels. No, because the real value of this sensor, it would mainly provide better color rendering and produce, in addition, sharper images . And there's more, since the HTC engineers would eventually inspired technology PureView Nokia to produce this sensor.

All this information is obviously to be taken lightly, but I think for me it would be quite logical that HTC seeks to differentiate itself from the competition by focusing on this feature. Whatever anyone says, mobile users are increasingly attentive to clichés and videos produced by the mobile market and the company would be well advised to bet on this horse easier to impose its new terminal on the market.

Twitter: soon a two-factor authentication for greater security?

I do not speak due to time constraints but Twitter has recently been the victim of a particularly vicious attack which has compromised no less than 250,000 accounts. The Californian firm has obviously not quick to react by contacting the holders of these accounts, but it seems does not want to stop there. Twitter could soon deploy an update to implement a double authentication. Exactly like what Google offers for some time now. And when you see the number of attacks suffered by the service, we say that it would not necessarily luxury.

From what we know, this latest attack would have compromised more than 250,000 accounts. Accounts belonging to anonymous, of course, like you and me, but also a few celebrities. Incredible, is not it? Of course, although we do not know exactly what data have been collected by our nasty pirates, it seems that the usernames, email addresses and passwords are concerned.

To prevent this from happening, Twitter would therefore put in place a new system based on two-factor authentication. The procedure is fully automated and this new system is put in place so that when the user logs in from a terminal that is not recognized by the service. As the office computer, the touch pad or the neighbor. There obviously still require Twitter password of the user, but it could send more SMS with a unique identification code and generated randomly.

As mentioned a little earlier, Twitter is not the first to implement a system such as Google already proposed in recent years. However, if you are worried about the security of your account, you would perhaps go look towards all the permissions given to software and third party services. Because casually, cleaning from time to time, it does not hurt anyone.

For now, few people can benefit, of course, but you'll still be able to find a nice catch in the rest of the article.

Must admit, next to the home page and pages of videos, YouTube channels are more gray mine. They are not ugly to look at, it is true, but they have  absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the service  and understand why Google decided to make them enjoy a whole new interface.

As you can see on the capture that accompanies this article, the new version of YouTube channels will be much clearer and it is also reminiscent ... Google+. It must also be said that it marked  a real breakthrough in the history of the firm. Even though the latter had never really interested in the aspect of its various services, the launch of its social network has grown to realize that it was now impossible to ignore it. This was followed by several notable updates that have given life to a true identity. Identity found in the new version of YouTube, of course, and also  on the new strings, of course.

It is interesting to note also is that these arise as ultimately more pages, or as  mini-sites. We find a broad and customizable header, highlighting social networks of users and a menu that will allow us to switch between videos, discussions, research, and the rest. Well, obviously, we see much more on this capture, but I must admit that it looks very interesting.

And to my knowledge, there is currently no trick to activate the new interface. So, we'll have to be patient. And here is a preview and you can get a clearer idea of ​​these new channels.
