Samsung Galaxy S5 might have carbon body

Rest asured that Samsung is keeping a close eye on the HTC ONE sales figures.
Over the last couple of years Samsung has been given their fair share of praise for their Galaxy s series of phones. The only thing that people has not been very satisfied with since the Galaxy s2 is that the devices don’t feel premium enough.
When we spend a lot of money on a new phone we don’t only want it to be a great phone we also want it to look and feel like a premium phone.
This could very well be the reason behind the success of Samsungs biggest competition in the Android segment of smart phones. When HTC made the ONE they made a phone that not only was a state of the art cell phone. They also made sure that it looks and feels like a million bucks. Thanks to the aluminium body of their latest creation it has become the their best selling phone in a long time.

In a press release from SGL GROUP, a maker of carbon fibre we can read that they have established a joint venture with Samsung to start utilizing carbon in new ways.
We can only assume that this means that we will soon start seeing some new and exciting uses for carbon fibre in electric appliances. As soon as I read this thing the first thing that popped into my mind was that the Samsung Galaxy s5 would be made from Carbon fibre. There is no way of telling at his point if this will turn out to be true, but I sure hope  my intuition was right on this one.

Carbon fibre would be the perfect material for a premium looking cell phone. Not only is it extremely light weight but also it looks really cool. I could certainly imagine upgrading from the Galaxy s4 to the Galaxy s5 simply because it sports a Carbon fibre body.
Certainly Samsung would not release a phone of this magnitude in just the one color but it would be great if the next Galaxy s series phone would be available in carbon fibre.

Android tip: How to unlock your Android phone with your face

Posted by Yo  
19:17

Can’t be bothered to tap in a passcode to unlock your sleeping smartphone? Well, the latest Android phones have another way to verify that you’re you: by scanning your face.
The idea behind Face Unlock (a feature that requires Android versn 4.0ioor better, by the way) is simple: the phone’s camera scans your face for a few seconds, then compares it to one or more previously saved head shots.
If it gets a match, then presto! You’ll arrive at your phone’s home page, no PIN required.


You can unlock your phone with a glance once Face Unlock scans your face.

It’s a nifty trick, but it’s not quite foolproof.

Before setting up the feature on your own Android phone, you’ll be warned that Face Unlock isn’t nearly as secure as using a numeric passcode.

Indeed, there’s always the possibility of a false match if someone who looks “similar” to you sneaks a peek at your handset.

In other words, think twice before protecting your phone with Face Unlock if you’ve stored military secrets on it, or if your online banking password is saved in your Android browser.

So, ready to use your face to unlock your Android phone?

Here’s how…
Go to the Settings menu and tap Security, Screen Lock.*
Tap the Face Unlock option to see the litany of notes and caveats about the feature (including the assurance that your stored profile picture will be “kept private” on your handset). Ready to continue? Tap “Set it up.”
Next, you should see … well, yourself. Hold the phone until your face fits in the dotted outline; once the camera thinks it has a good shot of your face, it’ll snap a photo automatically. (For the best results, Google advises taking a Face Unlock photo indoors, where it’s not “too bright or too dim.”) Once you’ve made it to the “Face Captured” page, tap “Continue.”
You’ll also need a backup PIN or a security “pattern” to trace on the phone’s touchscreen, which you’ll be asked to set up once you’re done snapping photos of your face. The backup passcode will come in handy if Face Unlock can’t quite recognize you (which, as I’ve learned, happens on a fairly regular basis).
Now, time to test. Lock your phone, then press the “sleep/wake” button and hold the handset right in front of your face; the phone should unlock itself within seconds of “seeing” you.

*Note: These steps may vary depending on the make and model of your Android phone. I tested this tip on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus running on Android version 4.2.2.
Bonus tip

Want to make Face Unlock a bit more secure? Here’s how…
Take multiple Face Unlock photos of yourself in different conditions—say, with your glasses on and off, or both outdoors and indoors—to give the phone a better chance of identifying you correctly. Just go back to the Settings menu, tap Security, then select “Improve face matching.”
Worried someone might try to unlock your phone with a still photo of you? You can set Face Unlock to unlock your phone only if it sees you blink. Just tap Settings, Security, then enable the “Liveness check” option.
