Google Glass is stirring a lot of news in the world of tech ever since the start of the project was announced earlier in February. It's basically a computer which works on the principle of augmented reality, mounted on a pair of spectacles.
The user can operate these Glass's using basic gestures and speech via the help of the mounted camera and the microphone. Google has dedicated a lot of money and time towards this project. Earlier this month Google announced that these Glass's will be available at prices very close to the price's of the smartphone's that are available in the market today.
Its been rumored that Google will partner with sun glass giants Ray Ban to release more fashionable versions of the product for the trendy and hip.
Google is also issuing these Glass's to people who
are really passionate about this project for a fee of $1500 as suggested by Sergey Brin in the TED show where he too appeared to be wearing one of the prototypes.
Camera And User Interface:
The camera onboard the glass is a 5MP one which is capable of shooting 720p video.
The OS running on the Glass is rumored to be either a modified version of Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwhich" or a modified version of Android 4.1 "JellyBean".
The information as requested will be projected on a small screen present on the top-right part of the spectacles.
The Glass can be controlled using a limit
ed set of gestures and voice-input controls. The audio is not transmitted to the ears but is in fact transmitted to the bone present behind the ear and the user has to shut his ears in order to listen to the audio better.
Connectivity And Storage:
It comes with WiFi and Bluetooth built-in to meet the connectivity needs of the user.
The Google Glass will be available in only one variant of storage i.e 16GB out of which 12GB is made available to the user.

So here's a review of one of the less heard smartphones in the market; the Oppo Find . Of course Oppo is known for their ridiculously overpriced Blu-Ray players, however in the past year the company decided to jump into the ever-growing smartphone industry with the release of their new smartphone the Oppo Find 5.
Hardware:
Take our word this phone is built like a beast; it has a steel body. yes you did just read that right. The Oppo Find 5 is a beautifully built piece of technology both in hardware and its specs. The Find 5 is powered by very powerful Qualcomm APQ8064 Snapdragon chipset. The CPU that runs the Find 5 is a Quad-Core Krait 1.5 GHZ processor. The graphics too are not to be doubted on this beast; it features the latest Adreno 320 GPU for all those hardcore gamers out there.
Its pretty slim as its just 8.9mm thick.
The Find is alsolight for it specifications weighing in at just 165g.
The Oppo Find 5 sports a 2GB RAM that's a custom to the modern range of smartphones.
Display:
Now the main spotlight of the Oppo Find 5 is its beautiful IPS panel 1080x1920 display screen.
Its one of the only phone's right now in the market thats sports a 1080p resolution screen. Believe me when i tell you that the screen is stunning. Images look flawless, and i can bet a million dollars that a normal human eye cannot see any pixels no mat
ter
how close you keep the screen to your face since the pixel density is 441 ppi, the same as what you get on the 5 inch screen of the yet to be released Samsung Galaxy S4.
Camera:
The camera too is top notch as the Find 5 sports a 13MP primary camera with a resolution of 4128x3096 pixels.
It can also shoot 1080p video at 30 frames per second. There is also a front facing secondary 1.9MP camera.
Operating System:
The 5 comes with Android 4.1 "Jellybean" out of the box with additional skins from Oppo itself. there are complaints that the OS is not fit for the amazing hardware on board and Oppo is making sincere efforts to improve the OS by regularly pushing out firmware updates.
Battery & Variants:
The Oppo needs a pretty powerful battery to run that beast of a processor thats present under that sleek steel frame; thats why its powered by a 2500 mAh battery thats unfortunately non-removable.
The Find 5 comes in 16GB and 32GB variants in black and white colors.
So that's my review on the Oppo Find 5- The Unsung Hero.
Samsung released it brand new S4 in Apple's home turf New York earlier in the month. Even though the event was corny and cheesy they got the job done and boy weren't we surprised when they pulled the curtains.
The Heart Of The Beast:
The new addition to the Galaxy range of smartphones has the most impressive specs that we have ever seen on any phone; for instance it is powered by 8 cores of awesome or Octo-Core for those of us who live in the geek street. The processor is clocked at about 1.7 Ghz. The processor is an Exynos 5 Octo-Core. However the LTE model will not feature an Octo-Core as the core and the LTE radio will consume battery like a muscle car.
The Display:
One of the most noticeable features of the S4 is its massive 5 inch 1080x1920 screen protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which features a pixel density of 441 pixels-per-inch. Its design is very similar to the previous versions of Galaxy such as the Galaxy Note II and the Galaxy S3.
The Operating System:
It comes with Android Jellybean 4.2 Jellybean out of the box skinned with Samsung's own new User Interface TouchWiz 2.0.
Connectivity:
On the networks end it features very impressive 4G speeds of around 42.2 Mbps. It also features HSPA+ and 3G.
It comes in 3 variants of space 16GB, 32GB and 64GB with a 2GB RAM in each to mangae all the mutli-tasking that you are going to get done on this beast.
The LTE version will not consist of an Octo-Core processor as the LTE radio and the 8 cores will consume way too much power from the battery.
Its very light for a 5.0 inch weighing in at 130g. Its a very slim phone measuring in at around 7.9mm.
The connectivity is pretty impressive featuring NFC or Near-Field-Communication which provides a new edge to the phone on the productivity end. Bluetooth 4.0 is available just like any other smartphone in the market. WiFi too comes standard in all the variants.And strangely enough it also features an InfraRed Blaster Built-in.
Camera:
Obviously when one buys a phone this impressive without expecting a good quality high end phone; the S4 is no exception. It features a 13MP Auto-Focusing camera with a resolution of 4128 x 3096 pixels. The camera also has the capability of shooting 1080p video at a frame rate of 30 frames per second. It also has a Second Front facing 2MP camera which also has the capability of shooting 1080p video at 30fps. The camera also has a special feature which allows you to take photos from both the camera's simultaneously bundled with the other regular features such as image-stabilization and geo-tagging.
Graphics & The Battery:
It has a PowerVR SGX 544MP3 graphics processor which handles HD games like a beast..
Obviously a beast like the S4 requires a pretty impressive battery to power the 8 Cores of awesome thats the reason why Samsung has provided a 2,600 mAh battery to power the phone throughout the day and more.
The Galaxy S4 is available in two colors Black Mist and White Frost
The Conclusion:
The S4 is one of the best phones that we have ever reviewed and seen. It certainly has earned a spot in the Tech Hall Of Hame with its impressive specs on paper and in practice.We will keep you updated onthis phone as it is yet to be officially launched which is it is set to on the 26th of this month.
So that's my review on the Samsung Galaxy S4, Life Companion. Tells us about what you think of the new Samsung Galaxy S4 in the comments below.
It provides step to step guide so that you can become a pro in playing the guitar in a few months if not weeks.
