SAMSUNG GALAXY MEGA

Y’all have most probably seen the Galaxy Mega advert on TV, that’s because it’s the newest thing out there. It was announced on April 11^th 2013 by Samsung.

The Samsung galaxy mega comes two colours (black and white) and in two versions as well, 6.3 inch and 5.8 inch both super slim

6.3 inch (GT i9200)-1.7GHz CPU, 1.5GB RAM, 16 GB Built-in storage, no dual SIM support, no           LTE (4G)

6.3 inch (GTi9205)-1.7GHz CPU, 1.5GB RAM, 8GB or 16GB built-in storage, no dual SIM support, LTE support

5.8 inch (GTi9150)-1.4 GHz CPU, 1.5 GB RAM, 8GB built-in storage, no LTE support, no dual SIM support

5.8 inch (GTi9152)-1.4 GHz CPU, 1.5 GB RAM, 8GB built-in storage, no LTE support, dual SIM support.

Samsung galaxy mega is a tablet comp/android smartphone hybrid (‘phablet’). It runs on android OS 4.2.2(jellybean) with touchwiz UI, galaxy mega has Qualcomm snapdragon400 (6.3 inch) and Broadcomm (5.8 inch) system on chip (SoC).

6.3 inch galaxy mega has ultimate clarity 720pHD LCD (but apple and xperia are doing 1080p) while the 5.8 inch galaxy mega has 540p HD LCD.

It has front and back facing cameras, the front camera has a resolution of 1.9 megapixels while the rear camera has a resolution 8 megapixels. The most awesome feature for me is the IR emitter (infrared blaster), and the split screen feature.

Connectivity-wise it has Bluetooth, WiFi, HDMI2, USB support. It has a 3200 lithium-ion powerful battery with up to 420 hours of stand by time,17 hour  talk time on 2G and up to  10 hours when on 3G and when up to 82 hours music play.

Comes with preloaded Android app but as always you can free to raid Google play or even the internet black market.

ADNAN JANUZAJ

Of all young talents currently in the premier league, I have to say in all fairness, that United's Adnan Januzaj has appeared to be the most promising. You'd have to watch his performances in the team's preseason tour to understand where I'm basing my argument from. In the past two matches he's displayed skills hard to liken to those of an 18yr old. Accurate short and long passing, vision and an eye for goal though he's not found the back of the net yet having come inches close on a couple of occasions.

Like David Beckham, he's able to play in several positions; both flanks and as an attacking midfield.

He plays commendably well in all these positions and it becomes hard to select his main position.

As Scholes, he's shown the ability to make long passes finding players in “hard to reach areas”.

Well Adnan won the reserves player of the year last year and has already attracted vultures, waiting to pounce and take him away from the premier league. One of these vultures appears to be Barcelona. A new contract is being discussed though, to fend off any vultures lining up for him.

With the united academy having already seen the likes of Welbeck and Cleverly cement places in the first team, they would surely love to have the likes of Adnan and Jesse Lingard follow in their footsteps , or even better them! They'd love to beat the Barca academy, who wouldn't?!

Adnan is surely a player to look out for in coming years. Others are touting him as the new Messi, I as the new Beckham or Scholes. But only time will tell. He can end up being way better.

 

Maybe next time we can have a look at all the players coming up from various academies in the premier league.
