Samsung Galaxy S4: Size and build

Like last year’s model, the Samsung S4 isn’t a phone for petite hands. But Samsung has squeezed in a screen that’s bigger than last year’s into a handset that’s slightly smaller (the dimensions are 136.6mm tall, the same as the S3, while the width and depth, 69.8mm and 7.9mm, are smaller).

Even so, this phone clocks in at 130g against the marginally heavier 133g last time around. Most premium smartphones these days have sealed-in batteries – without the need to finish the battery in a removable case it’s possible to maximise the size and power of the cell – but Samsung has opted for a back that pops off.

This has a big advantage because it means if you run out of juice you can pop in a replacement battery.

Latest invisible multitouch mouse and keyboard made out of glass

Today we have two multi-touch devices for you, a multi-touch keyboard and multi-touch mouse, and what makes these devices different from other similar devices is that they are made from quality tempered glass and a solid metal base, so they almost look invisible on your table. Although these devices work like other touch-based devices, they both lack tactile feedback, but they run on open source software which means that anyone can customize the way these devices work. In addition, users will be able to share their custom-made software online in order to help other users.

Although these devices look impressive, they come with a price, and the mouse is priced at $150, while the keyboard costs $250. In addition, if you order both mouse and keyboard at once, you’ll can get both devices for $350. As for the release date, no exact information is currently available.
