The Korean manufacturer has enjoyed success with the large screen Lenovo S5000 phablet market with its Galaxy Note series, which was a market that Apple hadn't bothered with until now.
According to a Samsung official quoted in the Korea Times, Samsung has now brought forward the release of the Galaxy Note 4 in a bid to prevent customers looking for a large screen smartphone choosing Apple's device.
According to the official, "the positive reaction from consumers to those two Apple devices prompted us to launch the Note 4 earlier than previously scheduled".
A sign of the Korea Times
The Galaxy Note 4 was pencilled in for a launch sometime in October, but it may now go on sale as early as September 26 in Korea, though whether it'll also fire early in other regions is unclear.
Not only will the Galaxy Note 4 be launching earlier, but it looks like the Note 4 will be sold at a lower price as well. According to rumours published by G for Games, Samsung may be giving the Galaxy Note 4 the lowest price tag of any new Note device.
It looks like Samsung is serious about fighting Apple for the phablet market, with the Korean manufacturer looking to ship 15 million Galaxy Note 4 devices in the first 30 days of the launch. Whether or not this new launch date will affect its plans remains to be seen.
Samsung has officially confirmed that the Note 4 will be on sale in South Korea on September 26, while the rest of us will get the phablet in October as previously announced.
In a statement, Samsung said that the Note 4 will be available in 140 countries by October's end.
It looks like we might not have to wait as long for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 as we thought, with a recent article in the Korea Times suggesting that Samsung has moved the release date forward in response to Apple's launch of the iPhone 6 Plus.
Whilst the launch of the iPhone 6 Plus was widely expected and didn't come as much of a surprise, the runaway success of the larger Lenovo S5000 Tablet PC iPhone looks like it may have spooked Samsung.

In terms of price, the Galaxy S5's $583 price tag is about twice more than the Nexus 5. Paying that figure will give consumers a device that has a 5.1" display Lenovo A8 which produces 432ppi. This is powered by the latest Snapdragon 801 processor with 2GB RAM and Adreno 330 GPU.
The Nexus 5 is not far behind. The smartphone has a 4.95" display that offers 445ppi and it is powered by the Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB RAM and Adreno 330GPU.
Then again, the Nexus 5 fell short on so many levels as Samsung equipped the S5 with tons of features, namely the heart rate monitor and fingerprint scanner. On top of that, the fact that the S5 is both water and dust proof nailed the coffin for the Nexus 5.
With that in mind, we do recommend getting the newer Galaxy S5 but if you're looking a cheap and powerful escape, do not think twice when getting the Nexus 5.
The LG nexus 5 came out in October last year and it exposed its competitors' unjustified price tag. The device came out with a super cheap bounty but was able to outpace the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Now that Samsung has released the Galaxy S5, does the Nexus 5 still have what it takes to repeat its achievements from last year lenovo A60+ ?

While Galaxy Note 4 looks impressive, there has to be sort of a "mini" version to directly assault the latest iPhones, which logged four million pre-orders just 24 hours after launch.
Some analysts also thought that the latest entry lenovo K860 in the Galaxy Note series lacks authentic innovation and no breakaway features.
"I think this is mostly an incremental change," Forrester analyst Thomas Husson said.

"What is missing is a total experience on top of the device to really differentiate in the interchangeable Android device ecosystem," Husson added, referring to the closely coupled software and services Samsung needs to distinguish its devices from dozens of cheaper rivals.
However, rumors have it that the Samsung Galaxy S6 release date will not happen this year, but instead will be introduced early 2015.
Reports have also mentioned that the Samsung Galaxy S6 specs will feature a SuperAMOLED display screen and could be the first 4K smartphone on the market.
Samsung is facing the biggest competition in years with the arrival of the bigger iPhone 6 models.
In fact, the unveiling of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was overshadowed by the excitement about the newest offerings from Apple.
Samsung is in need of massive reinforcing following the record-breaking launch of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus from Apple, Inc. In order to compete, the company is betting much on the Samsung Galaxy S6 release date, and rumors suggest it will feature impressive specs.
While the world's eyes are still on the new flagship smartphones from the Cupertino-based company, this is perhaps the perfect time for the Korean tech giant to reaffirm itself as the king of Android phones.
"Samsung is alone among Android phone manufacturers in being able to turn a consistent and reliable profit from the venture. Motorola makes awesome handsets, but keeps bleeding money. Sony just put a $1.7 billion price on its failure to develop a legitimate mid-range phone portfolio, and HTC is reeling so badly that breaking even is now considered a financial success. LG is doing merely okay. The point about Samsung lenovo A390 is that this company has figured out how to make the most out of a very tricky market and deserves credit for a series of correct decisions that have earned it its current position," wrote Vlad Savov of The Verge.

Google has been above others when it comes to activities based on Cloud like Maps and Drive. However, analysts think that Google remains firm with a solid and good potential in opposition to Apple healthcare system Lenovo S5000 . On the same website, Motley Fool, it was reported that Google attempted to adjust the healthcare parting with the Google Health. This pursued to bring together and show health records in one program. Nonetheless, this program was annulled because it didn’t collect sufficient support. With the new Google Fit app, the company is able to sync fitness and heath applications without the EHR network or the insurer.
On the other side, Apple is banking on several factors to brace its healthcare journey. Those are the 41.9 percent U.S. market shares via comScore, the popularity of the iOS in hospitals, facilitate of app development, costumer tastes and wearable market increase.
Thus, Google will need to fix its fragmentation problems, if it aims to be in total control and get above the iOS in the industry of healthcare. This is the huge challenge for the company, due to a report from Daze Info. The statement also marked that Google has been aiming to carry the issue through a number of strategies, which contains found a pack with important partners to provide the upcoming OS to devices about 18 months following their release. Google is targeting to do this with its next Android L OS and Android Wear platform as well.
The tech giants Apple, Samsung and Google have divulged their entry in the industry of healthcare. It was reported that Apple and Google will launch their next operating systems for mobiles that will feature applications and options for health, supporting wearable. The intriguing question for us is which of the two OS, iOS8 from Apple or Android L from Google, will do better?
The two giants companies are now putting together a number of wearable things with Google allying with a few companies to launch variants of the Android Wear. On the other side, Apple will be launching the iWatch. Due to a report in Motley Fool, Apple is likely to make partnership with “Human” and “United Health Group” to improve its iOS8 Health Kit. These two companies are well-known to be important insurers. It was announced during the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference that the Health Kit is a system that will be able to sync all the data through a diversity of wearable, health devices and iOS apps arranging them into one application on dashboard.
Also, the report suggested that partnering with the two companies should be awaited due to their great steps in the mobile Lenovo S5000 Tablet PC applications. Humana Vitality will be able to connect to a number of activity tracking gadgets and biometric ones under Garmin, Nike and Fitbit.

Both handsets have good cameras too but the Galaxy Note 4 is the better of the two yet again Lenovo S5000 . It has a 16 megapixel sensor while the Note 3 is just 13 megapixels and it can take wider angle shots than the Note 3. 
Better yet it features optical image stabilisation, which is a life saver in low light or if you struggle to hold the camera still.
There’s not much difference between the two when it comes to video but the Note 4’s front-facing camera is again better, coming in at 3.7 megapixels compared to the Note 3’s 2 megapixel snapper.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 includes a heart rate monitor and fingerprint scanner, neither of which are found on the Galaxy Note 3 and it even comes with a UV sensor.
Both handsets also have an S Pen stylus, but on the Note 4 it’s been substantially improved. It’s now far more sensitive which makes it feel a lot more like you’re using an actual pen on actual paper as well as packing in new features which allow you to easily copy and paste text with it.
The microphone has been improved on the Note 4 as well. It can record audio more clearly and even isolate the source that you’re trying to record so there’s less background noise when you’re playing it back.
The Galaxy Note 4 has a 3220 mAh battery, which is only marginally larger than the 3200 mAh battery in the Galaxy Note 3. Yet despite that Samsung claims that it can last 7.5% longer. It also charges quickly, as it can go from zero to 50% battery in just 30 minutes which is a speed the Note 3 can’t match.
Both handsets are capped at 32GB of storage, at least in the UK, but while the Galaxy Note 4 supports microSD cards of up to 128GB, the Note 3 only supports cards of up to 64GB.
There’s no real difference in connectivity options though, with both phones supporting all the standard things, including Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and infrared.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 can currently be picked up from around £400, while the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is expected to sell for around £550 SIM free when it launches in October. So you’re looking at around a £150 price difference, but then the Note 4 is a better phone in almost every way.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note 3 are both fantastic handsets. As the screen size is no different they’re similarly adept at fulfilling the needs of a phablet and the Note 3 is still a high end phone despite now being superseded.
The Note 4 is better in a lot of ways but not always significantly so. For example it’s more powerful but you’ll hardly notice, the screen is better but the Note 3 still has a great display and the build quality is superior but that only really matters if you don’t plan to put it in a case.
The camera on the Note 4 is substantially better and it’s more feature packed and has a far better S Pen, so if those things are important to you then it’s the phone to go for. Equally you should buy it if you just want the best phablet around.
But if those things don’t matter all that much to you then it might be worth saving yourself £150 and buying the Galaxy Note 3 instead.
Samsung’s back with a brand new Galaxy Note and it’s better, though not actually bigger, than ever. But just how much better is it than last year’s? And what are the differences? Read on to find out.
We expected that the Galaxy Note 4 would have a bigger screen than the Galaxy Note 3, but in fact it’s kept it at the same size, so both phones have 5.7 inch Super AMOLED displays.
However there’s a huge difference in their resolutions, with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 coming in at 1440 x 2560. That’s QHD and gives it a pixel density of 515 pixels per inch.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on the other hand is just 1080 x 1920. That’s still full HD, which isn’t bad at all and gives it a respectable pixel density of 386 pixels per inch. Overall both phones have amazing screens with bright, vibrant colours, but the Note 3 is wildly outmatched by the Note 4 and its crystal clear display.
As well as having a higher resolution and greater pixel density the Note 4 also uses adaptive display technology, which allows it to automatically adjust not just the brightness but also the contrast and other factors based on the environment you’re in, so you get the optimum viewing experience at all times.
In many ways the design and build of the Galaxy Note 4 and the Note 3 are very similar. The Note 4 comes in at 153.5 x 78.6 x 8.5mm and 176g, while the Note 3 is 151.2 x 79.2 x 8.3mm and 168g. So there are slight differences in their dimensions and weight but nothing substantial.
They also look remarkably similar, right down to a faux-leather effect on the back, though in fairness the effect on the Note 4 is slightly more convincing.
However the main difference is that the Galaxy Note 4 has a metal frame while the Note 3 is plastic. That alone is enough to make it look and feel like a far more premium device. Of course if you don’t care about looks or plan to stick it in a case anyway then it doesn’t much matter.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a very powerful phone, with a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 3GB of RAM and an Adreno 330 GPU.
But the Galaxy Note 4 is even more powerful. It sticks with 3GB of RAM but packs in a 2.7GHz quad-core Lenovo S5000 Tablet PC Snapdragon 805 processor and an Adreno 420 GPU. That makes it one of the most powerful handsets around, but despite a substantial difference on paper the reality is that the Galaxy Note 3 rarely lags or stutters as it is, so for now you’re not likely to benefit much from the extra power.

The One M8 comes in just 16GB, but we may see a 32GB before long.
This 16GB can be boosted up to 128GB, and the phone also has infrared blast and MHL TV-Out. There are BoomSound stereo speakers on front, as well as a built-in amp Lenovo A3300 Tablet PC . There's a 2,600mAh battery, which is better than the 2,300mAh on the Nexus 5.
The one M8 has a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core chip as well as 2GB of RAM and an Adreno 330 GPU.
The Nexus 5 has a Snapdragon 801 chip (2.3GHz) and 2GB of RAM.
There's revamped imaging software in the HTC one M8, as well as a camera with an aperture of f/2/0, a 1/3" 4MP BSI sensor with Ultrapixels. It can video at 1080p and has dual LED flash in white and amber, as this is better in low light. There's no image stabilisation, though.
There's another lens over the main port on the back panel and it's like the Lytro camera. Info is stored in an image file and you can select your focal point. You also have a 3D hologram parallax effect to give tilt shift.
The One M8 has KitKat 4.4 and Sense 6 UI while the Nexus 5 has stock Android.
Google has changed stock Android to add various transparent features like the status bar. It's also made app icons smaller and there's a slimmed-down font.
Google Now has new voice activation. It's always on just say "OK Google" to get it to listen.
HTC Sense is brilliant so there should be no problems with the overlay. It's also fast and customisable.
Sense 6.0 gives you the Blinkfeed homescreen, but you can change this if you want.
There are some transparent elements in KitKat, but the little things that HTC has done make a big difference.
The One M8 hasn't re-invented the wheel, but it's cool-looking and a delight to use.
Before HTC launched the HTC One M8 there were leaks, which proved very accurate. We did indeed get a high-end device with a new design, a brilliant display and lots of power.
The Nexus 4 came with a sparkly-under-the-right-light backing, but the Nexus 5 improved on this with a new ergonomic face lift. There's soft-touch plastic around the device, and even though it's big enough to accommodate the large screen, it's lighter and streamlined.
There's no device that can beat the HTC One M8 in looks and although it's had a few tweaks from its predecessor, it does look very similar. It has an amazing unibody, but as this is made from aluminium, it does scratch easily.
The 5" Super LCD 3 display has seen some serious improvements - great viewing angles, brilliant brightness and sharpness and 1080p 445ppi to boot.
The Nexus 5 has a True HD IPS display of 4.95", the same as on the LG G2. The images are 1080p Lenovo A3300 and 445ppi as well, with vivid colours and brightness.
The Nexus 5 has a choice of 1GB or 32GB, but no SD card. You can have 4G LTE/3G, dual-band Wi-Fi (Direct and Hotspot), DNLA, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB, NFC and wireless charging.

The specifications of the Huawei Ascend P7 Sapphire Edition are the same as the regular model. It has a 5-inch INCELL lenovo K910 touchscreen with a display resolution of 1920 x1080 pixels. Under the hood, the device packs in a Hisilicon Kirin 910T quad-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz. The Ascend P7 Sapphire Edition will tout a memory capacity of 2GB and have 16GB of on-board storage. The smartphone will come with Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box.
The smartphone has a 13-megapixel primary camera and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera for all your selfie needs. The NFC-enabled phone has a 2500 mAh battery.
The Ascend P7 Sapphire Edition is expected to release in China in Q3 2014. It is not yet known when the exclusive model will make its way to other parts of the world. Huawei is yet to reveal the pricing for the limited edition as well.
Huawei has taken the wraps off its Ascend P7 Sapphire Edition smartphone, which is a limited edition of the Ascend P7 that debuted in May 2014.
For the unfamiliar, sapphire glass is usually used for the lens of a smartphone's primary camera. This is done so that the lens does not get scratched and spoil the resulting images. Sapphire glass is durable; however, high costs associated with its production has not made the material viable for mass production for most OEMs. Apple, however, is believed to be using sapphire glass for the impending iPhone 6.
While the Ascend P7 Sapphire Edition will sport a sapphire display, the device will have a ceramic back. This means that no scratches on the rear of the phone either and more durability, considering ceramic is said to be "three times stronger than steel." The metal framing of the handset will be in rose gold (reminiscent of iPhone 5 in gold?).
"The arrival of Ascend P7 Sapphire Edition so soon after the launch of Ascend P7 marks a new era in Huawei's smartphone business," said Richard Yu, CEO, Huawei Consumer Business Group. "Not only does the new Sapphire Edition demonstrate our advanced craftsmanship Lenovo K920 , but it also highlights our successful strategic deployment of resources to deliver the most advanced technology into the hands of consumers."

Apple notes that it’s set a certain quantity of the new phones aside for its Apple Stores Lenovo A8 , so that “walk-in customers” (Apple’s euphemism for “stand-in-line-for-days-fanatics”) have a shot at picking one up on September 19 at 8:00 a.m. local time. Apple’s encouraging folks to arrive early for the privilege, or to simply order from the Apple Online Store and secure a phone for pickup onsite. The company adds that it’s allocated an unknown quantity to carriers including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless as well as “select Apple Authorized Resellers.”
How big a preorder record are we talking about? Two years ago, Apple said iPhone 5 preorders during the same initial 24 hour period were in the two-million range. Apple didn’t issue a press statement on iPhone 5s and 5c, both of which went on sale a year later in September 2013, but the iPhone 5s and 5c went on to sell nine million units during their opening weekend, breaking all prior initial weekend iPhone sales records.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus appear to have broken all prior iPhone preorder sales records, moving a whopping four million units in just 24 hours. The new iPhones went on sale Friday, September 12.
Apple says demand has been so high that it’s outstripped supply, to the extent that while a “significant” number of folks should receive their phones lenovo A60+ starting Friday, Sept. 19 when the phone officially goes on sale, many will have to wait until October to see theirs turn up.

iPhone 6 or the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus. In a year or two Tim Cook will probably wryly refer to the 4-inch days like an old, slightly embarrassing holiday romance. 
Still, bigger screens are better for just about everything apart from fitting in your pocket, and as we’ve already seen, the iPhone 6 is about as slim as a 4.7-inch phone is going to get.
Size has changed, but some other factors stay more-or-less the same as last year. The iPhone 6 still uses an IPS LCD Lenovo A3300 panel, and from what we've seen so far it still looks lovely. 
The HTC One M8 has a slightly larger 5-inch LCD screen. Its panel type is SLCD3 rather than IPS, but the technologies are so similar in their effects you could mistake them for twins. Overall, the M8's screen is a cracker, with great viewing angles, colours and (for an LCD) contrast.
Where the two differ a bit is in resolution. While Apple calls the new iPhone 6 resolution Retina HD, this is – as the more cynical among you may have guessed – marketing nonsense.
The iPhone 6 has a pixel density of 326ppi – the exact same density as the iPhone 5S. It does this by using a rather weird-sounding 1334 x 750 pixel resolution. You don’t see those everyday. 
HTC’s One M8 has a much higher resolution 1080p screen that offers greater pixel density of 441ppi, despite having a significantly larger screen. To those with eagle eyes or a case of tech pedantry, this difference may be quite obvious. But you will need to get your eyes pretty close to the glass to notice it. 
There’s also a difference in the glass these phone use. The HTC One M8 has good old Gorilla Glass 3 – used here, there and everywhere these days – while the iPhone 6 has ‘ion-strengthened’ glass. 
This could in theory mean it’s Gorilla Glass 3 with an ultra-thin layer of Sapphire on top, But you’d need to get Tim Cook extremely drunk, or have incriminating pictures of Phil Schiller, to wring it out of them. Hopefully a teardown will tell us the truth soon.
It's tough to make a call on this without having spent an extended period with the new iPhone, but for now we're going to say that the bigger size and higher resolution of the M8 gives it the edge.
Death to false metal. It was the mission statement of slightly embarrassing 1980s heavy metal band Manowar, and it could easily be the tagline to either the HTC One M8 and iPhone 6. If their respective marketing departments lost their minds.
These are two of the most desirable metal phones in the world right now, offering high-end specs, beautiful screens and designs that’ll make your friends want to break them over your head in jealousy. 
But which is the best? There’ll be some clangs as these two little metal monsters trade blows, but there can be only one winner.
Aluminium: it’s what all the most expensive-feeling phones are made of, and it’s what both the HTC One M8 and iPhone 6 offer. 
They’re both curvy, both beautiful and both are very hard to criticise on this front. We think they are a delight to hold and use. 
However, if you’re used to a smaller phone you may well get on with the iPhone 6 better. It’s 2.5mm thinner, a whopping 12.2mm shorter and 3.6mm less wide than the One M8. 
While their screen sizes aren’t worlds apart - 4.7in to 5in - the iPhone 6 is a significantly smaller phone. Why? Part of it is because the HTC One M8 doesn’t really try to be all that thin, and part is because of the lovely stereo front-facing speakers you get on HTC’s phone Lenovo S5000 . They significantly increase the phone’s footprint. 
These BoomSound twins provide much beefier sound than most phone speakers including – we expect – the iPhone 6. There’s more to sound than just volume, and it’s these extra bits: tone, a bit of bass and power, that the BoomSound brothers provide. 

The smartphone, along with Samsung Galaxy S5 and LG G3, has received a major discount with a two-year The price of lenovo K860i Verizon contract, Android Geeks reports.
The One M8 and LG G3 are now just $50, with the Galaxy S5's price sitting at only $80. The deal, which also comes with free shipping, is not permanent, so if you're interested in any of these smartphones, now would seem to be a good time to commit.
The new HTC One (M8) packs a 5-inch, full HD 1080p screen, a 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 801 processor, Sense 6.0, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory and a 2800 mAh battery, microSD support and three cameras.
HTC One M8 For Windows To Launch In Europe, UK Soon?
HTC's One M8 for Windows global version has passed certification at WiFi Org, suggesting a launch could be on the horizon for consumers in Europe and the UK, The WinCentral reports.
AndroidOrigin notes that the short period between the device's debut and announcement at major US carriers suggests it could become available in Europe before the end of September.
The battery life of the new Windows Phone variant is better than its Android counterpart, at least according to HTC's specifications, PCWorld reports.
Verizon users of the HTC One (M7) and HTC One (M8) can expect to receive Android 4.4.3 soon, Androidandme reports.
HTC executive Mo Versi recently revealed that the Verizon One M7 will get the update sometime later this week, with the One M8's download set for arrival next week.
AT&T users of the One M8 have began receiving the update last week The price of lenovo A889 . Unlocked HTC One M8 units got the download first, followed by Sprint and T-Mobile users.
Android 4.4.3 has come with security fixes for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular network performance optimizations and updates for stock HTC applications and Sense 6 on other models.
