Samsung Round Edged Phone

                               

ADOPT THE TECHNOLOGY..........

       

           Samsung's newest curved-screen smartphone, the Galaxy Note Edge, will cost $946 without a contract when it launches next week, the company announced Monday. It'll cost $400 with a contract from AT&T, and other carriers will offer various deals too.



         
         The Edge is nearly the same phone as the Galaxy Note 4 that launched a few weeks ago, but it has a second screen on the side that functions independently from the main display. The "edge" screen is designed to show you information at a glance like weather, news, and incoming notifications without lighting up the main screen.






                For comparison's sake, the Galaxy Note 4 costs about $749 without a contract, and about $300 with one, depending on the carrier. The iPhone 6 Plus, Apple's new phablet, also starts at $749 or about $300 with a contract.









       But it sounds like that extra screen on the Note Edge adds quite a bit of cost to the phone. And it's unclear whether that's worth the extra $200 considering the Note 4 is already one of the best phones you can buy today and does most of the same stuff.





          The potential benefit of this screen technology isn't quite clear yet, but Samsung is touting a new feature called "Round Interaction," which allows you to look at information such as missed calls, battery life, and the date and time when you tilt it on a flat surface with the screen off. Samsung also claims that switching between home screens will feel like one continuous transition, and has worked on new tilt- and tap-based interactions for the music and photos apps.

Unveiling the next Generation AUDI Q7

SOME OF THE DASHING LOOKS OF THE ULTIMATE "Q7"

AUDI Q7

FAST TO THE FASTEST

               Nine years is a long time for a model update but the popular Q7 has pulled through. Next year Audi will launch the new Q7 with an official unveiling at the Detroit Motor Show less than a month from now, but a first set of details and images have been revealed. And the most prominent figure we can get out of Audi is a massive 325 kg reduction in weight compared to the outgoing model courtesy some ultra high strength steel and aluminium. Considering the new car shares almost identical dimensions, its agility and outright performance is sure to improve drastically.



           Just going by the numbers, it sure does. The bread and butter 3.0-litre TDI engine, which will be the engine of choice when it comes to India get a boost in power of 32PS. The V6 oil burner now produces 276PS of power, clocking an o-100kmph time in 6.3 seconds, a whole second faster. All this while improving emissions and fuel economy. Audi says efficiency has gone up by up to 28 percent.

NEVER SEEN BEAUTY

            The Q7’s mechanicals take the cake but the styling certainly is the cherry on top. Smart squarish stance and neat straight lines dominate exterior styling. It doesn’t look as intimidating as its predecessor though, but looks are subjective. On the inside, there’s handsome borrowing from the fresher sedans in the Audi lineup with fewer buttons and two screens - a large popup navigation screen on the centre console and one 12.3 inch screen replace the instrument cluster. Audi will launch the Q7 in Europe next summer and we expect it to make it to our shores before the end of the year.

RESEMBLANCE TO THE LUXURY

         

         You might expect a full size SUV to have an interior designed with all the chunky, hairy chested style its genre suggests. But you have to remember that this an Audi first and everything else a somewhat distant second, so in fact what you get is a cabin reminiscent of any other expensive Audi, albeit somewhat further from the ground.

BED ROOM IN A CAR

         

           And of course there is space aplenty. It would be very odd in a car of such mammoth proportions were there not. Even so, this is a very comfortable for five but a less capable seven seater. Those rear seats are mounted quite high so at least the children they carry will have a clear view out, but head room is quite limited and leg room especially so.
