Goodbye Nokia! :(

After months of negotiations the Nokia-Microsoft $7.2 billion deal was finally sealed yesterday, and April 25, 2014 marks the end of one of the biggest mobile phone maker, Nokia. With the deal Microsoft will be acquiring the Mobile and Services arm of Nokia and because of that Microsoft will no longer use the name of Nokia on their next succeeding mobile phones, instead they are naming it "Microsoft Mobile". so far there are no rumors on what will be next after the sealing of the deal.The only thing we know is that there will be no more Nokia phones that will be released in the next 10 years. Here's a statement from Nokia CEO Stephen Elop posted in Nokia Conversations.

Six months ago, we announced our plans to bring the best of Microsoft and Nokia Devices and Services business together. Today is an exciting day as we join the Microsoft family, and take the first, yet important, step in our long-term journey.

At our core, we are passionate about building technology that will change the world. From the early vision of Microsoft of placing a PC in every home and on every desk, to Nokia connecting billions of people through mobile devices, we have empowered generations. But we could not have achieved any of this without our fans around the world.

Your support has created strong momentum for Nokia Lumia smartphones and they continue to grow in popularity around the world. Last year alone, the awards, accolades and fan-generated rave reviews offered proof of the growing number of champions for our phones and tablets.

And we are committed to continuing our support for feature phones, the Asha family, and the Nokia X family of devices, announced at the Mobile World Congress in February.

Whether you want to read more, capture more, watch more, listen more or get more done, Nokia mobile devices have been and are your go-to choice.

As Microsoft and Nokia Devices and Services come together as an expanded family, we will unify our passion, dedication and commitment to bringing you the best of what our joint technologies have to offer.

Together, we can connect and empower people with one experience for everything in their life in a world where it is mobile first and cloud first.

From today onwards, the possibilities are endless. As now, we’re one!

Stephen

Timeline:

Stephen Elop is a Business Division Head for Microsoft before he became the 1st non-Fin CEO of Nokia in 2010 and at his term being the CEO many of controversy surrounded Nokia involving him, 1st was the Burning Platform Memo, the Discontinuation of Meego and the cancellation of support to Symbian and eventually having it closed, on Elop's term Nokia's Stock, Sales, and Profit dropped gradually as the company wasn't able to keep up in competing against the then surging Samsung and the Smartphone leader Apple's iPhone,

In 2011 Elop inks partnership with Microsoft building their newest line of phones the Nokia Lumia running Windows Phone 7 but only after a few months of the release of the first batch of Lumia's namely the 800,710,510,610,and 900, Microsoft announced the Windows Phone 8 which doesn't support the 1st batch of Lumia devices, many people think that Microsoft tricked Nokia in inking the deal with by releasing another platform that almost the same as the 1st but doesn't support it.

In 2012 the Bond ratings of Nokia by Moody's was downgraded to Junk, Elop says that Nokia didn't foresee the rapid change in the smartphone industry that's why Nokia is having a hard time competing with other phone manufacturer but in the first place why did Elop chose to have Windows Phone as nokia's platform instead of choosing android which is a more popular platform? also in 2012 Nokia released their last Symbian Phone which is the Nokia Pureview 808 that could be a game changer because of it's 41 megapixel camera, larger screen, and design, but it didn't sold that much since the OS was already obsolete and just waiting for the last update to come. but in September 2012 the 1st wave of the WP8 handsets came the Nokia Lumia 920 that has the Pureview Technology also and became the newest flagship device of the fins

Here comes 2013 where the Asha platform was announced and released to target the low end market, even with the release of the New Asha and Lumia devices Nokia's profit is still decreasing, In September 2 Microsoft announced that they will be acquiring the Mobile and Services Arm of Nokia, It includes the Asha, Lumia, and other feature phones of Nokia including the newest products of Nokia the Nokia X family that runs on Forked Android.

Many says that Elop sold Nokia to Microsoft was because he wants to the next CEO of the Redmond based company but things didn't turn that way as Satya Nadela was the one chosen on the position putting Elop on a lower position being the head of Microsoft Mobility formerly NOKIA.
________________________________________________________________________________\

There are questions in my mind now since I am a solid Nokia User since 2004, What will happened to Nokia X? Will the Asha line still be supported? Why did Ristoo Silasmaa and the rest of Nokia's board let the take over of Elop and Microsoft in the mobile arm if they have another back up plan when they released the 1st Lumia device. and why did they agree to Microsoft change their name, that's their legacy that was there for almost a century.

Samsung unveils Galaxy S5 to focus on what matters most to consumers

The company’s 5^th generation Galaxy S redefines how technological innovation enhances our lives

Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation (SEPCO) announced last April 3 the fifth generation of the Galaxy S series, the Galaxy S5, designed for what matters most to consumers. The new Galaxy S5 offers consumers a refined experience with innovation of essential features for day-to-day use.

“With the Galaxy S5, Samsung is going back to basics to focus on delivering the capabilities that matter most to our consumers,” said Coco Domingo, Product Marketing Head for IT and Mobile at SEPCO. “Consumers are looking for mobile tools that inspire and support them as they improve their everyday lives. The Galaxy S5 represents an iconic design with essential and useful features focused on delivering a heightened smartphone experience.”

The Galaxy S5 combines an advanced camera, fast network connectivity, dedicated fitness tools and enhanced device protection features as consumers stay fit and connected in style.

Capture the moments that matter

Capturing and saving precious memories is one of the most important smartphone features today. The new Galaxy S5 offers superior camera functionality, featuring a 16 megapixel camera with an enhanced menu and user interface that allow consumers to effortlessly take, edit and share photos.

The Galaxy S5 is equipped with fast autofocus speed of only 0.3 seconds and an advanced High Dynamic Range (HDR), feature that reproduces natural light and color similar to how the human eye captures images. Also, the new Selective Focus feature allows users to focus on a specific area of an object while simultaneously blurring out the background and vice versa. With this capability, consumers no longer need a special lens kit to create a shallow depth of field (DOF) effect.

Tap into the fastest connections

The Galaxy S5 offers a new technology in connectivity utilizing LTE and Wi-Fi to ensure blazing fast data speeds for unrivaled media consumption and productivity. With its MIMO (multi-input, multi-output) technology, downloading data allows for both LTE and Wi-Fi to work simultaneously to speed up data transfers. Plus, the Galaxy S5 supports a number of LTE frequencies with LTE Category 4 standard. No matter where a consumer is, the Galaxy S5 will help ensure they have the fastest connection available in the area.

Be more fit and active

With the enhanced S Health 3.0, the new Galaxy S5 offers more tools to help people stay fit and well. It provides a comprehensive personal fitness tracker to help users monitor and manage their wellness, along with additional tools including a pedometer, diet and exercise records, and a new built-in heart rate monitor. Galaxy S5 users can further customize their experience with an enriched third party app ecosystem and the ability to pair with the next generation Gear products for real-time fitness coaching.

Express modern, glam look

The Galaxy S5 blends iconic Samsung design with modern trends to appeal to a range of consumer tastes and interests. The Galaxy S5 features a perforated pattern on the back cover creating a modern glam look. Its new sleek, contoured shape comes in an array of vivid colors, including Charcoal Black, Shimmery White, Electric Blue and Copper Gold, to complement the style of the individual consumer.

Essential device protection

The Galaxy S5 is IP67 – certified, which means it’s dust and water resistant (of up to 1 meter for 30 minutes). It also offers a Finger Scanner, providing a secure, biometric screen locking feature. The Ultra Power Saving Mode turns the display to black and white, and shuts down all unnecessary features to provide the consumer with up to 12 days of battery life.

The device will be available globally through Samsung’s retail channels, e-commerce and carriers on April.
