Playstation 4 Console Revealed

This the moment that you’ve been waiting for Playstation fans. After the announcement of the Playstation 4, they finally revealed the console and the price of the next generation console. If you can still remember, the Playstation 4 was announced a few months ago and they just revealed the redesigned controller and not the console itself. The design of the Playstation 3 is back to its boxy design compared to the curvy Playstation 3. I noticed that they still want it as an upright device. But of course, the Playstation 4 isn’t complete without the games. Check out some of the games and accessories that will be in the Playstation 4 after the break.

The Playstation Eye will be optional to the device so you’ll have to cash out some more for that. Some of the known games that will surely come to Playstation 4 are Diablo 3, Grand Theft Auto V, Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts 3, and Metal Gear Solid V. Compared to Microsoft’s Xbox One, The Playstation 4 doesn’t have online restrictions and this one has a much affordable price at $399. If you’ll ask me which one between the Xbox One and the Playstation 4 should I choose, I’ll place my bucks on the Playstation 4 because this one doesn’t have an online requirement and this one has a much affordable price. The new features of the Xbox One are mostly focus on entertainment hub for the US market while PS4 focuses on games.

Looks like my dream phone is here. If you’re happy with the features of the Samsung Galaxy S4 then better be excited for its brother, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active because the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active will feature an IP67 certification. In simple English, the IP67 Certification means that the phone is water and dust resistant. The Samsung Galaxy S4 active protects against water damage for up to 30 minutes of submergence at a depth of one meter But hold your horses guys because the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active doesn’t have the same specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S4. The rugged brother would have a downgraded camera and screen but the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active would pack a TFT LCD that supports Glove touch. It would be very useful to us whenever we’re on the go like when we’re biking. The 8 Megapixel camera of the phone also supports aqua mode to increase visual quality and clarity for enhanced underwater images and video. Yeah, maybe you could use the phone even underwater. Oh and there’s the removable back cover with a removable battery too. Man, I would love to have this phone.

Ah. Computex. It’s the time of the year where many manufacturers reveal their new and exciting products. Like this one from Acer. They unveiled their newest Windows 8 tablet. And it is not just a normal Windows 8 tablet because the Acer Iconia W3 packs an 8-inch screen, a first in the Windows 8 tablet family. Yeah, you could run a full Microsoft Office or play Red Alert 3 on this one because this is a Windows 8 tablet and not RT.  8-inch has been the new sweet spot in the tablet market since the release of the iPad Mini.The Acer Iconia W3 will be powered by a dual-core Intel Atom Z2760 processor which is very common among the affordable Windows 8 tablet family and the tablet comes in 32 GB and 64 GB but I guess the 15 GB of the storage  will just go to the Windows 8. Don’t worry about the keyboard because there will be an optional full size keybord for $90. Want to know more about the tablet and its price? Check it out after the break.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and 10.1 Announced
Oh my. Samsung isn’t tired of releasing new Android tablets. I’m really getting confused with their tablets because they’re releasing too many tablet at different sizes with different names and features. Today, Samsung announced two new Android tablets — Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and 10.1. Yep, both tablets feature the same UX design of the Samsung Galaxy S4 but these tablets won’t have the same specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S4. Not just that, both tablets would have the same 3 hardware buttons that can be found on the Galaxy phones. I believe that Samsung wants to have a unified design for all of its devices.

Samsung should’ve just removed the 7-inch family in favor of the 8-inch. It is much better to browse the internet and watch movies on the 8-inch than the 7-inch. Both tablets will support LTE but I’m not sure if those variants will arrive here in the Philippines. Check out the specifications of those tablets below:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 Specifications
  • 8-inch TFT 1280 x 800 display
  • 1.5 GHz Dual Core processor
  • 1.5 GB RAM
  • 16/32 GB storage with MicroSD Card slot 
  • 5 MP Rear camera with 1.3 MP Front camera 
  • Bluetooth
  • WiFi
  • LTE
  • 4450 mAh Battery
  • Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Specifications
  • 10.1-inch TFT 1280 x 800 display
  • 1.6 GHz Dual Core processor
  • 1 GB RAM
  • 16/32 GB storage with MicroSD Card slot 
  • 3 MP Rear camera with 1.3 MP Front camera 
  • Bluetooth
  • WiFi
  • LTE
  • 6800 mAh Battery
  • Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
I still wonder why the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 has a much larger RAM. Anyway, there are no SRP announced yet but let’s hope that it will be much more affordable
