Here’s a New Samsung Galaxy S6 Design

Here’s a New Samsung Galaxy S6 Design

I’ve got at least 2 or 3 Samsung Galaxy S6 renders and concepts to show to you, since the Internet has been invaded by them over the past day or so. It’s crazy out there! Leaks are coming in from everywhere and it’s going to be like this till March 1st, when this thing comes to life. Anyway, here’s Hasan Kaymak’s vision on the 2015 Samsung flagship.

An extra is the video that Hasan created and the slit speakers actually remind me a lot of the HTC One M9 renders. The device features a metallic case, a black highlight around the screen and a front camera with two sensors next to it, plus a very elongated Home button, that feels almost like just a sensor. The screen’s bezels are very narrow and if you look closely at the texture of the speakers you’ll notice indentations that feel like the mechanisms of a shaving machine.

I can’t say this is not a good design, since it’s pure quality, but I regret not seeing its back and lower side. The resemblance to a HTC model is pretty clear, but this Samsung Galaxy S6 concept is certainly better than what Samsung has been putting out for the past 2 years. Do you agree?

Puzzlecluster is a Brilliant Idea, Turns Dead Phones into a Super Computer

Puzzlecluster is a Brilliant Idea, Turns Dead Phones into a Super Computer

Sometimes a concept isn’t exactly defined by a physical gadget, but rather a conglomerate of moving parts. In the case of the Puzzlecluster, the modularity idea goes to a new level, as old phone parts gather together and make a supercomputer.

The company behind Puzzlephone has created something called Puzzlecluster, a scalable supercomputer. It all involves the old processor modules of the Puzzlephone devices, that are repurposed to make a toaster-like computer work, as shown in the diagram above. With so many different smartphone CPUs combined, the cluster will become a powerful PC. Imagine combining last year’s Snapdragon 801 with this year’s Snapdragon 810 something in the middle of next year.

I’m sure that will give any PC enough juice for many midrange tasks. The device even accepts battery modules from the Puzzlephone, in order to keep the device going. The product isn’t exactly meant for homes, since the Puzzlecluster is more of a research device, a data analysis PC, or a rendering farm, server or an in house cloud service product. We compared the initial unit to a toaster, but the final model could be sexier.

And to top it all, it will also be eco-friendly, reducing the waste.
