the galaxy s4 internals get detailed samsung announces a passbook like wallet service and microsoft says that windows phone 8 won't be as bad as 7 when it comes to upgrades I'm hi Mary vana and I'm in desperate need of a cappuccino right now this is poking out daily you know it's extremely odd for either android or windows phone manufacturer site or provide you with specific dates or specific pricing points for their future devices but it seems that Nokia is raising the bar if you remember the Lumia 520 and 720 devices that were just announced at mwc 2013 well we've already got the price of 139 arrows for the Lumia 520 and 249 eros for the Lumia 720 and both devices won't be available as soon as April first so if you're interested in these devices obviously stay tuned our view should be live very soon and speaking of Microsoft all the terrible stories that Windows Phone 7 customers have lived in the past apparently will come to an end with windows phone 8 devices or so says Greg Sullivan which is their VP of Marketing are pretty much their marketing manager the point being is that when those phone 7 customers would obviously not be able to upgrade to Windows Phone 8 but apparently that was due to hardware issues according to Sullivan windows phone 8 devices are obviously designed to be able to be upgradable in the future so hopefully Windows Phone 9 or whatever it's going to be called which is code name blue should be available for windows phone 8 devices but after the story with windows mobile 6.5 or Windows Phone 6.5 and Windows Phone 7 I don't know what to believe let's just cross the fingers now let's talk about some mwc oddities last year Anton and I both noticed in Barcelona that there was this NEC prototype device that allowed a dual screen you I meaning you have a hinge that allows both screens to match together to make just one screen pretty much turning the device into a tablet sort of like what the kyocera echo tried to do even though it eventually became one of the worst gadgets ever at least on our list and well this NEC medias W device is now available and Tony and Michael were both able to film this device at mwc 2013 so make sure you hit the links in the description follow the video it's a kind of an interesting device not sure I would recommend though but obviously there are more mwc 2013 video so make sure you hit the links full playlist downstairs now if any of you thought that Samsung was already tired of getting sued by apple well it seems that they're not tired just yet they've just announced the new wallet service which ironically is not being called s wallet it's just samsung wallet and the point being is that it looks exactly like the apple passbook application that you get on iOS and the point is that it will allow us with a joint venture with visa to make purchases through the service now obviously the Samsung service is better than apples because you do get NFC on galaxy devices so you will be able to use the device and the service to actually pay for something but the point being is that obviously the service looks exactly like apples but anyways the service should be available soon so stay tuned we'll keep you posted and finally for the well I don't know if I should call this interesting news of the day apparently the galaxy s4 will retain the same processor strategy as the galaxy s3 you'll get one processor in the United States and one processor in Europe meaning you'll get the Snapdragon 600 in the United States which we already noticed that in the HTC One bricks a lot of records when it comes to speed and then you'll get the Exynos 5 octa-core processor in Europe yes you'll get 8 cores in Europe and quad core processor in the United States so it's really hard to know if one device will be better than the other but we did notice that there were some minor differences in the galaxy s3 with a different processor type so that leads me to the question of the day does it bother you that the phones in Europe have different internals and the phones in the United States or vice versa in my particular case I don't care which processor I get as long as I get LTE but obviously your case could be different so leave us a comment down below of course if you want an earlier scoop of everything that's happening in the smartphone then tell the world make sure you follow us on parking now calm or subscribe to our YouTube channel as well please give this video a thumbs up if you liked what you saw I'm hi Natalie that up thanks for watching see you tomorrow even though we never thought that Apple would release a 7-inch tablet the ipad mini is finally among this and even though it's a good tablet we do know that it lacks key elements like a Retina display so is it still worth you're buying dollar join us on thursday februari 28 for the ipad mini after the buzz
