LG Display's New LCD Smartphone Panel Has Slimmest Bezel Yet

LG Display unveiled a new full high-definition LCD panel featuring the narrowest bezel for smartphones yet. The 5.3-inch HD display knocks the smartphone bezel down to 0.7 mm thick, according to the LCD display manufacturer.

That’s smaller than the thickness of a credit card in comparison which measure in at 0.8 mm. The display is bigger and more powerful than the recently released Sharp Aquos Crystal featuring a 5-inch, 720p screen though not quite as large as the 5.5-inch LG G3 released earlier in the year. LG Display was able to develop the screen through the use of its “Neo Edge” technology which is a process that integrates the panel’s circuit board and backlight into a single unit.

The technology prevents light leakage and ensures the unit is waterproof and dustproof. Mass production on the displays will begin in November and will ship to customers in China first “where demand for large screen smartphones is strong.” IGN gave the slim-bezeled Sharp Aquos Crystal a 7.4, calling it an “attractive but flawed entry-level phone.”

Galaxy Note Edge: What A Curve

Set to release on November 14th Samsung has announced that they are going to release the Galaxy Note Edge. And not only is this phone going to be big, but it's also going to have a curve on the edge of the screen. It's kind of strange that Samsung would have a curve on the very right of a phone, but it seems to work well from the demos we have seen so they rolled with it.

Personally I don't see the usefulness in having the design this way, but it looks pretty cool for some things it can do like quick shortcuts to apps and being able to change it to whatever you want it to do. The problem I see what will happen is that the side of the screen will get in the way when you want to watch movies or you play games.

It looks like it would be awkward to hold for just that reason, let alone the phone being a whopping 5.6 inches big. I gotta give it to Samsung though because they marketed this well to make it not as strange and they also made it look very functional. I doubt I will get a phone like this, but it's nice to have options.

Confirmations, as mentioned, come from the company's website, and you can see in the image below. Samsung Galaxy A7, denoted by the initials SM-A700FD should also support dual SIM card (the letter D in the model is in fact to signify the dual SIM version): This version should be the one that will appear in the Chinese market, and perhaps will arrive in other markets. Samsung Galaxy A7 is expected for the beginning of November, carrying Android KitKat, and then without fully exploit the CPU 64-bit; probably, Samsung has plans to upgrade the device to Android 5.0 Series A Lollipop.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is Using SONY's Camera's Sensor

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is Using SONY's Camera's Sensor! Yeah, that is true. So many people are amazed by the quality of Galaxy Note 4's Camera. The resolution of Galaxy Note 4's camera is 16 megapixels. And so many are amazed because the quality of the images from Galaxy Note 4.

However, after  checking all parts of the camera, they found out that one of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 part is a SONY Camera Sensor "IMX240". Wow! It seems like Samsung can't beat the quality of SONY's camera which somehow true though I am using a Sony A6000 as my camera and Samsung S2 & S3 as my phone.

Meanwhile, Samsung used their own camera's sensor on Galaxy S5, but it seems like they are not satisfied with the quality of their own sensor and then start using SONY's sensor again. Why is there a word "Again"? Because all the previous Galaxy series are used SONY's sensors?!
