Galaxy S4: First official picture revealed ahead of launch


12MAR
We all are just two days away from the launch of the much-hyped SamsungGalaxy S4. But that should not stop you from feasting your eyes on the first official glimpse of Galaxy S4. After launching the first teaser video for itsAndroid-powered smartphone, the South Korean manufacturer has now come up with a sneak preview of the device.

Samsung's US Mobile account posted the image of the Galaxy S4 on Twitter on Tuesday, ahead of its unveiling in New York on March 14.

"The countdown for #TheNextBigThing has begun," mentioned Samsung on its US Twitter account. "Who's ready for the Global Unpacked Event on March 14?"

Unfortunately, the image does not reveal much about the device. But it does make the device look nearly identical to the Galaxy S3.

It is expected that the Galaxy S4 would come with an updated version of Samsung's Touchwiz interface complete with an eye-scrolling feature, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, an eight-core Exynos 5 processor and a 13 mega-pixel rear-facing camera.

Short Bytes:  A new BitTorrent feature has been announced which is designed with a goal of maintaining a sharing ratio of 2:1 in a swarm. The confusing Altruistic Mode feature will make sure that your share more and download less. B itTorrent Inc. has added a new feature that’s strange, confusing, and interesting at the same time. Known as Altruistic Mode, the features promotes the philosophy of giving more taking less on the torrent network. The Altruistic Mode is designed to make sure that your sharing ratio remains more than 2:1 i.e. while downloading a torrent, you upload 2Gb data for every 1GB download. Many of the loyal torrent users seed to benefit the network and the download speed of other users. But BitTorrent says that this does not guarantee a 2:1 ratio. That’s where the Altruistic Mode comes handy and helps a swarm. “Because of this Altruistic Mode downloads will often never complete,” writes Bram Cohen, the creator of the BitTorrent protocol. In a blog p...

An engine operates by burning a fuel-air mixture, which expands and exerts pressure. If more air is introduced, the pressure on the piston increases, resulting in greater power output. This process is known as cylinder charging. However, in a naturally aspirated (non-turbo) engine, there is a limit to how much cylinder charging can be increased under atmospheric pressure. Various methods have been developed to improve cylinder charging efficiency. Why does cylinder charging decrease? In a 4-stroke engine, the fuel-air mixture enters through the intake valve during the intake stroke. The intake valve opens to allow air to enter the cylinder and closes at the end of the stroke. However, since an engine completes a cycle in just milliseconds, the time available for the intake valve to remain open is very short, especially at high RPMs. When an engine runs at high speeds, there isn't enough time to fully fill the cylinder with air, leading to reduced pressure on the piston ...

1. HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) Powertrain: Uses both a gasoline engine and an electric motor. Battery: Small battery charged through regenerative braking and the gasoline engine. Fuel Source: Gasoline-only (battery assists but does not provide independent propulsion). Charging: Cannot be plugged in; relies on the engine and regenerative braking for recharging. Operation: Runs primarily on the gasoline engine. The electric motor assists in improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. At low speeds or short distances, it may run purely on the electric motor, but not for long.  Example Models:  ✅️Toyota Prius (HEV), Honda Accord Hybrid (Global) ✅️ Honda City Hybrid eHev , Toyota Innova Hycross 2. PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) Powertrain: Uses both a gasoline engine and a larger electric motor than HEVs. Battery: Larger battery than HEVs, allowing for independent electric-only driving. Fuel Source: Uses both gasoline and electricity. Can run on electric...
