Presented a few weeks ago, the new Gorilla Glass 4 will surely be a favorite of most manufacturers of smartphones and tablets when protect the screen of your devices, as is currently the third generation. It has been confirmed today that the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, this device has marked a before and after in the Korean company for the use of metal, be the first terminal to mount the new and more resistant glass Corning .

 Corning has achieved with the third generation of its protective glass almost full expansion. The vast majority of mobile devices on the market Protect your screen with Gorilla Glass 3 and in the absence of alternatives, see if the project is viable finally Apple for use of sapphire, it seems that the new crystal repeated in the list of specifications 2015 flagships.

 Improvements, as explained on November 20 when it was presented, are conspicuous. Besides improving the resistance against scratches and potential impacts of different types of targets, Corning makers are dedicated to improve protection against falls, the main reason for broken screen. It is able to withstand a one meter without any problem in approximately 80% of cases and compared with the third generation, resistance has doubled.

 Galaxy Alpha, first to prove the benefits of Gorilla Glass 4

 Although the Samsung Galaxy Alpha has for some time on the market, units sold from now on will have the new protective glass Corning. One feature that greatly improves the already good construction and resistance equipment . Best of all, is that change will not bring anything negative to users, since the thickness of Gorilla Glass 4 (0.4 mm) allows fit the Galaxy Alpha without this entailing a greater thickness of the smartphone.

 We hope that Gorilla Glass 4 starts and taken from the first releases of 2015, gradually the list of terminals will have this protection will grow. We’ll see if users have access from now notice the difference, because in the end what matters is practicality in the street and not in the evidence room.

The first device to mount Gorilla Glass 4 is the Samsung Galaxy Alpha

We were growing more and more desperate to see a Tegra 4 powered phone in 2013.

The main issue of the Tegra 4 SoC is its power consumption. While it is arguably the best chip out there raw performance wise, four Cortex A15 consumes just too much energy.
That is why we saw all year long smartphones equipped with Snadragon, Mediatek and some Samsung chips.
Qualcomm chose to modify the raw Cortex A15 a lot to meet energy consumption requirements, losing some power in the process.
MediaTek is using the low power Cortex A7 which is almost on par with the Cortex A9.
Samsung decided to put Cortex A7 alongside the A15, using the big.Little design, but somewhat failed to distribute the new Exynos line worldwide (production issues).

But finally, aside from the Nvidia Shield Project (dont even get me started on this), there was no Tegra 4 device nor smartphone.
Somewhat, ZTE is risking itself to launch the U988S, the very first smartphone with the Nvidia chip : the Tegra 4 is clocked at 1.8 GHz powering a 5 inch 1090 FHD display, 2 GB Ram and a 13 MP rear camera.

We are very excited to see how it will perform and if it can address the battery life issue. We will offer the ZTE U988S around the same price tag as the XiaoMi Mi 2S (~ USD 380)
