Netizen: Samsung Galaxy S4

It was easy. You google up the matter, and you get reminded you reset your phone like the last time Android sent you an updated version of the operating system.

There was resetting the phone, which also freed up a lot of space on my 8 GB phone. And then there was turning off a Google+ feature. Now photos on my phone only get uploaded online when the phone is on wifi and when the phone is connected to a charger.

The auto upload feature is why Google+ is my top choice for photo upload and sharing. But that was also draining my battery.

Now my phone feels more normal. So much so that I still want a OnePlus One phone, but I am not in a desperate hurry.

My external battery clocks at 10,000 mAh. That is what I carry. So it is like carrying two phones. But it's worth it for the peace of mind that my phone will quite literally never run out of juice during the course of the day. When your smartphone is your personal assistant, you tend to use it with some intensity.

I am thinking a 5,000 mAh inside a phone might finally do the trick.

Another reason not to be in a big hurry for the One is the idea of actually being with people when you are with them. Face time is also good for the phone battery.

Begs the obvious question. Why would you want to bend your smartphone? Unless bendable means much lighter. Then light is good. And also if bendable means sturdier, strong is good.

First you get to bend it, then you get to roll it.

But you don't want it to get so thin that it becomes a martial art weapon. Well, it perhaps is a martial art weapon at any thickness. So that is a moot point.

Samsung preps 5.5-inch flexible phone screen for CES demo

although its demo screens curve without rending, they don't yet roll up. ..... Competitors LG and Nokia have also recently demonstrated bendy prototypes for smartphones and tablets. Pliable electronics are clearly a future trend.

Will the Samsung Galaxy S4 be 'unbreakable'?

the next batch of galactic goodies will pack a quad-core processor and 13-megapixel camera.... either the Galaxy S4 or Galaxy S5 will have bendable or even foldable displays by 2014. Just imagine, returning to the legacy of the flip phone with new folding or even "squishy" phones. I might even stand in line for a "koosh" phone.
