someone at Google lost their job so
let's start off with Sony's flagship the
Sony Xperia z4 it's official at least in
Japan the Sony Xperia z4 is equipped
with a 5.2 inch full HD LCD panel and as
mentioned before it is thinner than the
Xperia z3

depth keeping things moving along is the

octa-core chipset backed by three

automated phone systems typically
encountered in customer service it also

languages hindi bengali telugu tamil
kannada malayalam now for those of you
in the market for a new android wear
watch you'll be happy to know that
android wear just got a lot more
powerful android wear now supports
watches with built-in Wi-Fi and the good
part is that the watch doesn't need to
be on the same Wi-Fi network as the
smart phone that means for instance that
you can leave your phone on the charger
on your desk and go on about your day
and still get notifications from it as
long as both devices are connected to
the internet now let's talk new gestures
for apps and contacts previously
accessing the apps on your device
required several swipes and taps which
made it feel a bit cumbersome now
getting the app screen is as easy as
tapping on the time while accessing
contacts is done by swiping to the left
voice commands are now accessible
through another swipe you know that neat
handwriting app that Google just
launched in the Play Store last week
it lets you convert your scribbling into
an emoji not just letters and now the
same feature is available on Android
wear so for instance you can doodle a
heart or a smiley face to quickly answer
a message with their respective emoji
pretty sweet and for those times when
you can't use two hands but you still
need to go through your Google now cards
a new wrist twist gesture will let you
do just that
now the Samsung Galaxy s6 versus the
iPhone 6 battle rages on and we found a
result about which device is perhaps the
best gaming device and the results are
not going to be what you think there's
no denying that the Samsung Galaxy s6
and the Apple iPhone 6 are two of the
best smartphones on the market right now
not only when it comes to aesthetics but
also performance Samsung's Exynos 7420
processor backed by three gigabytes of
RAM definitely gives apples a8 processor
with 1 gigabyte of RAM a run for its
money but when it comes to gaming which
device comes out on top the folks over
at gain bench put the Galaxy s6 in the
iPhone 6 to the test to find out which
device is the better gaming smartphone
the game bench team picked a series of
10 high-end games to run on each device
in the hopes to find out which
smartphone would run the smoothest while
achieving the highest average frame rate
as you can see from the graphic here
Apple's iPhone 6 was the clear winner in
this test when it came to performance
and overall stability game bench
explains the iPhone 6 tended to run
games more smoothly with a higher frame
rate that was very stable and rarely
dropped below 30 frames per second the
galaxy s6 came a pretty close second
with a greater frequency of performance
bottlenecks that pushed the frame rate
below the 30 frames per second threshold
hmm that burns a little bit maybe that's
where this came from thanks for watching
