Communication CONCEPT Design Phone

Samsung is keeping us all busy with the hype which has been created for the design that Samsung’s new mobile, Galaxy S5, will come with.

We have seen a teaser which was displayed on the official blog of Samsung and invitations were sent to journalists for the event that has been named ‘Samsung Unpacked’ at the Mobile World Congress show to be held in Barcelona this month.

What we know so far is that the icons displayed are somewhat flat when it comes to design, remember the Apple’s iOS 7? Yes exactly, the new Samsung design is quite similar to that. The invitation which was sent included details of the event’s webcast. The list of applications includes a total of 9 apps; Curiosity, Outdoor, Fun, Speed, Style, Social, Fitness, Life and Privacy. The icons for these apps have been given different colors. The colors which have been employed are blue, red, green, purple and yellow.
The device still uses Touchwiz with some new tweaks. The tweaked version helps the Samsung devices stand out among other Android devices. The teaser gives us a bit of perspective on what Samsung is focusing on; Speed and privacy along with quenching the curiosity of its users by providing them with enhanced search options maybe.

VP Kwon Oh-hyn, said last November that the company is quite good at designing hardware but lacks expertise when it comes to development of software. It is being speculated that Samsung will also be making debut of a new version of Galaxy Gear watch in addition to GS5. This speculation is supported by the myriad of reference made to number 5 in the latest teaser by the company. There are also claims of a new and unique home-screen which will adapt itself according to the user’s activity or the user’s location.
We have already seen an image that is floating around the internet which shows us a screen that has a number of cards – Google Now much? – And helps us in understanding what Samsung might have up their sleeve. News which is being considered ‘leaked’ tells us that the gadget will be available in metal and in plastic. Other than that, it is being said that the mobile will come with a 5.25” screen, a bit larger than S4’s display. Furthermore, it will be employing iris to recognize the user (no need for passwords) and shall be the host to Snapdragon processor.

The price tags for the metal and plastic version vary for obvious reasons with the metal one being at 800 Euros and the plastic one at 650 Euros. If there’s any truth in all that is being speculated and rumored, Samsung may have followed Apple’s lead which involved launching a plastic version iPhone; iPhone 5C along with the 5S last year.

Finally, after being teased for quite some time, the Rimac Concept One has made its official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The concept is not only trying to prove that “electric” and “supercar” terms can be mixed into one item but also previews a special limited edition model that will be delivered to the market in a quantity of only 88 units next year. One of the unique things we can find on the Rimac Concept One is the powertrain that is divided into 4 different sub-systems. Each of the systems consist a motor, an inverter and a reduction gearbox. With 1,088 HP of total power, the car is able to reach 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds from standing start.

The Rimac Concept One is said as the product of some of the most famous designers around the globe. Adriano Mudri contributed with the carbon fiber body and the interior was given by a team of ex Pininfarina employees under Goran Popovic commando. At the 2012 Top Marques Monaco,the car has been shown to the public. At that time, the company also released some images ofthe car officially.

Analysts said that the Rimac Concept One is not just about sportiness but it is also elegance. The exterior parts are mostly made from exposed carbon. It not only shows its production materials and technology but more than that, carbon fiber helps it to keep low weight. The bodyside features a symmetrical, unique appearing feature that provides the Rimac Concept One a very strong identity and clear distinction. The duct is the abstraction of tie, which is an original Croatian product. The interior section is the work of Vilner. Their name have been so popular in the industry and for this concept, they specially developed a driver-focused interior.

With those facts, it is not surprising if media and analysts said that the Rimac Concept One would be a serious and a more economical contender for the Bugatti Veyron though its top speed will not get closer.
