Samsung has announced its next super powered flagship smartphone – Galaxy S5, the next version of Galaxy S4. This new 2014 model looks a lot like last year model S4, probably Samsung is following the path of Apple and try to retain the design, style and feel of their premium device brand.

Galaxy S5 comes with 5.1inch  full HD Super AMOLED screen (1920 x 1080 px resolution), Snapdragon 801 quad core processor clocked at 2.5GHz and 2GB of RAM. It also features 16MP rear camera and 2MP front facing camera. It also has built-in storage of 16BG or 32GB (depending on the model) and also can be expanded with up to 128GB with microSD card.

S5 also comes with 2800mAh battery, slightly better than S4’s 2600 mAh and also features whole lot of extra stuffs, such as heart beat monitor next to LED flash, finger print scanner in the rear, ultra fast 4G connectivity.

Samsung claims that S5’s camera is the fastest auto focusing camera available on mobile phones in the market right now, and the camera also features advanced HDR capabilities and able to record videos at 4K resolution.

Galaxy S5 also loaded with Android 4.4.2 (KitKat – latest version) and its official TouchWiz skin, but Samsung did some work on its skin to look more like flat design, though it is not much of an improvement, it can be seen as a move toward much cleaner interface in the next generations.

Mint Linux 13 AKA Maya Released

If you are into Linux then you must have known Mint Linux for its usability, created from the mighty Ubuntu distro, Mint Linux has secured a Linux market share for itself. Now, new version of this Mint named “Maya” has been released.

Maya featuring 2 desktop environments, MATE 1.2 and Cinnamon 1.4, where MATE is much more matured, and Cinnamon is somewhat newer and feature packed. Until Linux Mint 11, Genome 2 was their primary desktop environment, but because, original Genome team abandoned Genome 2 and completely changed the way of desktop usability, another team forked a new project called MATE from Genome 2, in order to save Genome 2. So Mint stated to use MATE, which is nothing more than Genome 2, but in a different name.
