Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A coming to Germany soon

Deutsche Telekom has announced that it will soon upgrade its LTE network to LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), supporting download speeds of up to 150Mbps. And guess which device will be the first to support this infrastructure boost – yup, it’s Sammy’s Galaxy S4 LTE-A, which is already selling in South Korea.
If you recall, this model doesn’t just offer greater download speeds, but also comes with a faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. In comparison, the existing model that is offered by Deutsche Telekom and many other operators all around the world uses Snapdragon 600 or Sammy’s own Exynos 5 Octa chip.
According to AllAboutSamsung, the existing model will be phased out as soon as the upgraded network launches… And we guess that other operators in Germany will follow suit in order to stay relevant and keep their clients.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

Oppo N1 coming later this year, Find 7 next year?

The long-time rumored Oppo Find 7 may not be released this year with company pushing its launch for “late 2014.” The N1, on the other hand, should be out before the end of 2013, hinting us this will be the Chinese company’s next flagship device.
This information, in case you wonder, came from Oppo’s representative who answered question from an inquisitive poster at Google+.
We’re not sure what to make of it and are hoping that previously rumored specs for the Find 7 will find their way inside the N1. If you recall, we’ve heard that the Find 7 will rock Qualcomm’s super-fast Snapdragon 800 quad-core chip, 13-megapixel camera along with other high-end goodies we’re used to expect from this year’s flagship devices.

Hopefully we won’t have to wait for too long to find out what N1 is all about. Heck I wouldn’t be surprised to get the official press release in the next few days… or weeks. Stay tuned in the meantime…
