Windows 8.1 Review

Advertisement

I'm now using the final shipping version of Windows 8.1 exclusively on all of my PCs. And despite worries that Microsoft would need to fix issues between this product's release to manufacturing (RTM) and general availability (GA) in October, I can report that the firm has delivered a solid, meaningful update to Windows 8. It won't answer all of the complaints, but Windows 8.1 is a big improvement for both desktop PC and mobile device users.

Note: No leaked builds, Chinese or otherwise, were harmed in the writing of this review.

This article is of course only part of my ongoing coverage of Windows 8.1. Please refer to my series, Hands-on with Windows 8.1, which will be updated for the final shipping version of Windows 8.1 and with new articles going forward. I will also be expanding my lineup of Windows 8.1 Tips going forward. Also, Rafael Rivera and I are of course writing a new eBook, currently under the name Windows 8.1 Book. The first updates for that book will begin appearing soon.

So what is it?

Windows 8.1 is an update for both Windows 8 and Windows RT. It is also sometimes referred to as if it were a new version of Windows, where Windows 8.1 is a newer version of Windows 8 and Windows RT 8.1 is a newer version of Windows RT. I think both definitions are OK and correct.

Either way, Windows 8.1 represents a more refined, or evolved, version of the vision that Microsoft has with regards to moving Windows into a new generation of personal computing that is defined by mobile devices instead of traditional PCs and mobile apps backed by cloud services instead of heavy desktop applications back by locally stored data. As a transitionary product, Windows 8.x provides both a traditional PC environment, called the desktop, as a well as a new touch-first mobile environment that was originally called Metro. (Microsoft cannot legally use the Metro name to describe this environment, and it has confusingly not settled on a new term that was as globally applicable as Metro. The firms sometimes describes this environment as Modern, and the apps that run within it as immersive apps or Windows Store apps.)

This design was of course the source of much frustration and complaining, though Microsoft positions it as a best of both worlds-type solution. In the original version of Windows 8, the transitions between Metro and desktop were often jarring and unwelcome, and impossible to configure. But Microsoft has made improvements in Windows 8.1 that lessen the impact of these transitions and provide more user control. For example, those with traditional PCs that wish to stay in the desktop environment can mostly do so, certainly more easily than with Windows 8. And those with tablets or other modern devices can more easily stick within the Metro environment.

If that doesn't sound profound to you, the year-long drama around Windows 8 must have happened while you were off-planet. Put simply, Windows 8 disappointed virtually everyone: Those who were ready to forge ahead with modern tablets and other devices complained that it didn't go far enough and didn't offer an option to discard the desktop. And the bigger audience of traditional PC users complained—loudly—that Windows 8 was a huge compromise, with Microsoft jamming a mobile environment they did not want down their throats.

I understood both of these complaints; still do. But I never had any serious issues using Windows 8 with either device type. So I was curious to see how Microsoft would respond to the critics while retaining a firm grip on the future direction it still very much believes in. Windows 8.1 is that response.

Changing the Default Notification Sound in Windows 8.1

Advertisement

This may seem like a simple task to most people, but I was surprised recently when multiple people asked me how they could go about changing the default sound for Notifications in Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1, of course, is the mismatched version of Windows that seems like it was never quite finished. Some have gone as far as to say that Windows 8.1 is the Frankenstein monster of Microsoft's operating systems because it seems pieced together, combining functions from Windows 7 with a new UI that seems partially stitched together. For example, some Windows settings still exist in the old Control Panel while a small portion sit in the new Windows Settings app.

And, this is the case when attempting to change the default Notification sound for Windows 8.1. If you look in the spot you would expect to be, it's just not there. Changing how Notifications work is available in the new UI, but it doesn't give the option to actually change the sound.

Instead, you have to rely on the old, trustworthy Control Panel to accomplish this feat.

So, to get this done, do this:

1. Open the Control Panel Sounds applet, but searching for and executing Change System Sounds.

2. When the app opens, locate Notifications in the Program Events list.

3. Use the Browse button to open a File Explorer dialog to allow you to search through the list of available sounds.

Windows 8.1 stores sounds files in %windows%\Windows\Media. Even though you can select any sound anywhere in the file system, you should consider storing them all in this provided folder so they are always easy to locate. You can add your own sound files that you find on the Internet or create on your own.

As we've seen in recent Windows 10 Builds, Microsoft is making a concerted effort to merge all old Control Panel applets and Windows 8.1 UI settings into a new, standard location. So, the in future you won't have to look in multiple places just to find a simple Windows setting.

Nero 2015

Nero 2015 offers you everything you need to burn CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays, as well as an impressive number of multimedia utilities.

A true multimedia center

Nero 2015 supports burning audio, video and data to CD, DVD or Blu-ray Disc. The module Nero Burning ROM manages this process. Each operation is intuitive and takes place quickly and reliably.

Nero (formerly known as Nero Multimedia Suite) satisfies your needs when it comes to editing videos, audio and photos, with a cutting-edge function that performs touch-ups and burns your project immediately.

Nero is also a multi-format player: you can reproduce photos, audio, video, slide shows, radio and TV shows, as long as you have a card that supports these functions.

The suite includes Nero BackItUp, which can backup files or an entire disc. Nero 2015 also lets you upload content like photos and videos to share with your friends on YouTube, MySpace and My Nero, among others, as well as giving you the opportunity to convert files and easily transfer them to your mobile device.

Cutting-edge design

Nero 2014's design is very modern. The interface is divided into modules that are accessible from the main screen, a portal to all of the apps included in the package.

This version, compatible with Windows 8, improves the usability and functionality of several modules, including the excellent Nero Burning ROM.

A handyman suite

In the past, Nero 2015 was just software for burning CDs and DVDs, but over time, Nero has evolved into a complete multimedia suite that's both stable and high quality, suitable for both an amateur and semi-professional user.

Unfortunately, because Nero 2015 is so well integrated with the system, the consumption of resources is high. A powerful CPU and lots of RAM, however, should ensure that it runs smoothly.

iPhone 6S release date, price, specs and new features: New iPhone coming in 2015

It's 2015 and although the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are still going strong it's time to look ahead to Apple's next flagship smartphone. Here's what we know about the iPhone 6S release date, price and specs in the UK. Also see: Best new phones coming in 2015.

iPhone 6S: The name and models

Following Apple's history with smartphones, the next iPhone will be an 'S' model. However, there's always the possibility it will put an end to this tradition so we may be in store for the iPhone 7 this year – you just never know.

For the last two launches, Apple has introduced two new iPhones. We currently have the iPhone 6 and the larger iPhone 6 Plus and previously Apple launched the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. Will we get two models again this year? We think so but rumours are thin on the ground on the subject at the moment but it's early days so stay tuned as we'll be updating this article as new information becomes available. Read: The best iPhone 6 alternatives.

iPhone 6S: Release date

These days it relatively easy to predict when a new generation of a flagship smartphone will arrive. Most manufacturers announce a new model annually while some go for every six months.

Apple is one of the former and if we look at previous launches, it's highly likely that the iPhone 6S will be announced in September and will go on sale a week or two afterwards. Of course, if the launch event is towards the end of the month, the iPhone 6S release date could be early October.

Bear in mind that if there are two new iPhones announced this year, they may not go on sale on the same day.

iPhone 6S: Design and specs

With an 'S' model iPhone, most things tend to stay the same in terms of design and specs. Usually there are a few tweaks here and there but Apple will save major changes for the next full model number – ie the iPhone 7.

It seems likely then that the iPhone 6S will look the same as the current iPhone 6. It will use the same chassis and come in the same colour options. The weight might change though due to different components inside or a new sapphire glass.

An S model sticks with the same screen size so we're probably looking at 4.7in and if there is an iPhone 6S Plus then it should remain at 5.5in. Resolutions are also likely to stay the same although one rumour suggests the new iPhone will have a 5in display with a 400ppi and what about the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge rivalling concept below by Michael Shanks?

So what will change?

If the design of the iPhone 6S remains the same, then Apple will provide upgrades in the form of new hardware. There are various rumours floating around, the most obvious of which, is of a new processor. The iPhone 6S will come with an A9 chip and could also get an upgrade in the RAM department to 2 GB.

The Touch ID fingerprint scanner could be integrated into the display, according to one rumour, rather than sitting in the home button. Cameras will almost certainly be upgraded although we're not sure a rumoured 21 Mp rear camera is probable.

More likely is a reversibly USB connector. We already have the Lightning connector which can be plugged in either way round so we'd put money on Apple doing it at the other end of the cable, too. Also highly possible, practically a given, is that the iPhone 6S will come pre-loaded with iOS 9 which will probably be detailed at Apple's WWDC which normally takes place in June.

Samsung Galaxy S6 'Project Zero' UK release date, price and specs rumours: Unpacked 2015 set for 1 March with teased curve

When is the Samsung Galaxy S6 coming out? We round up everything there is to know about the Samsung Galaxy S6 'Project Zero' smartphone and its S6 Edge and S6 Active variants, including UK release date, price and specs rumours, plus concept images and case details, which suggest the speaker and rear camera have been moved. Also see: Samsung Galaxy S6 mini UK release date, price and specs predictions

Every major flagship smartphone for 2014 has now launched and is available to buy, including the iPhone 6, Google Nexus 6 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Many of you will be interested in when Samsung will launch a follow-up smartphone to the Galaxy S5 and you've come to the right place. Also see: Best smartphones 2014 and Best Android phones 2014.

Samsung Galaxy S6 UK release date: When is the Samsung Galaxy S6 coming out?

Samsung, like other hardware manufacturers has got into a rhythm of launching a new flagship smartphone once per year. Just as the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and iPhone 6 were expected to launch in September and did so, we (along with many others) expect the Galaxy S6 to launch close to MWC. See: What to expect from MWC 2015.

This is now as good as confirmed as Samsung has sent out invites for its Galaxy Unpacked 2015 event (see below) which will take place on 1 March at 6:30pm CET in Barcelona where MWC is held. The show itself starts the following day on 2 March.

The Korean tech giant has launched previous Galaxy S phones near to the Barcelona show; in fact, the Galaxy S5 was announced in the Spanish city at MWC 2014. MWC 2015 is scheduled for 2 March so we fully expect the Galaxy S6 to be unveiled close to this date at an Unpacked event.

There is the odd murmur that Samsung will bring it forward due to disappointing Galaxy S5 sales, and that it might appear at CES 2015. But while Samsung was alleged to be showing the S6 behind closed doors, there was no mention of the next Galaxy flagship in its CES press conference.

Samsung Galaxy S6 UK price: How much will the Samsung Galaxy S6 cost?

Samsung tends to stick to the same pricing for its Galaxy smartphones, which means we expect the S6 to come in at £549 SIM-free. This price will drop below £500 within months, and this time next year will be closer to £400. According to Android Pit, the Galaxy S6 will start at 749 Euro which is around £565. See below for all the rumoured prices.

Samsung Galaxy S6 32 GB: 749 Euro
Samsung Galaxy S6 64 GB: 849 Euro
Samsung Galaxy S6 128 GB: 949 Euro

Samsung Galaxy S6: Specs

Plenty of whispers are circulating the rumour mill on what specs and features the Samsung Galaxy S6 will offer. Some sound farfetched; others are more likely. Now a detailed leak by SamMobile reveals what Samsung is planning for the Galaxy S6 so read on. The specs revealed by the site are backed up by a screenshot from the AnTuTu benchmark app. Read: LG G4 release date, price and specs rumours.

Samsung Galaxy S6 screen

It seems perfectly plausible that the Galaxy S6 will use a SuperAMOLED screen, Samsung's favoured display technology. As for size, the trend is for new models to have bigger displays so with the Galaxy S5 at 5.1in, the Galaxy S6 could be as large as 5.5in, matching the LG G3 or somewhere in between. 

Speaking of the LG G3, there are two main contenders for the Galaxy S6 screen resolution: Quad HD (1440 x 2560) matching LG's flagship smartphone or 4K (2160 x 3840). The former seems more likely to us, now that Samsung has introduced it in the Galaxy Note 4, but full-HD is certainly not out of the question. SamMobile touts it will be Quad HD but doesn't know what size.

GSMArena also believes the S6 will have a 5.5in screen with a Quad HD resolution and 534ppi pixel density, plus Corning Gorilla Glass 4.

There are rumours of a flexible or curved display which Samsung has been developing and we've seen on the Galaxy Round, and yet more rumours that there will be a version of the S6 with a curved edge, just like the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. Whether the firm utilises this on the flagship Galaxy S6 is unclear but the invitation for Unpacked 2015 (see above) suggest some kind of curved element.

Samsung Galaxy S6 design and build

The Samsung Galaxy S5 got slammed in reviews (including ours) for its plastic build quality and this is something which should be improved when it comes to the Galaxy S6. Rumours suggest the firm could be using graphene as a material. More likely, however, is that Samsung will continue the metal design used by its Galaxy Alpha in the Galaxy S6.

"The IM Division’s Mobile Business, which had weak earnings in 2014, will focus on recovery by differentiating its mobile devices using new materials and designs," said the firm on its Samsung Tomorrow blog.

There have been many leaked images that back up this theory; those below were discovered by NoWhereElse.

The site has since leaked new images purporting to be the Samsung Galaxy S6's new metal housing:

More recently, a mystery device that appears in the below video clip about using Samsung's My KNOX could well be the Samsung Galaxy S6 - complete with slim bezels and a half-metal frame. (Thanks to PhoneArena for this leak.)

Indeed, AndroidPit has revealed that two Samsung Galaxy S6 designs are in the works, with the final design yet to be decided. One has a metal unibody chassis; the other is half metal with a removable plastic rear like the Galaxy Note 4.

Also like that device, AndroidPit claims the Galaxy S6 will have a UV sensor and fast-charging. The S6 will also feature a microSD slot and unidirectional headphones.

Case maker Spigen is suggesting this is how the Samsung Galaxy S6 will look, with the dual-LED flash moved to the other side of the camera:

MobileFun is now stocking Samsung Galaxy S6 cases from both Spigen and EnCase for as little as £12.99. It notes that: "The placement of the camera flash is different, and there are no longer cut-outs for the speakers on the back of the case suggesting a change in position for these as well."

Assuming the speaker has moved to the front of the phone, this adds weight to the theory that Samsung is targetting audiophiles with its Galaxy S6. The smartphone is also expected to be bundled with Sennheiser earbuds.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Active

The Samsung Galaxy S6 will not be waterproof, according to WebTrek (via Sammobile). This seems an odd move, given that the S5 had IP67 certification. However, the site claims there will be an Active version of the S6, as there has been with previous Samsung Galaxy phones (also see Samsung Galaxy S5 Active).

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

But it appears yet another variant of the Samsung Galaxy S6 is in the works. Sammobile has confirmed that Samsung is working on a version of the Galaxy S6 known as the Galaxy S6 Edge, which is similar to the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge in the sense it has a curved side, but here two edges are curved. This will make it better suited to both left- and right-handed users. According to Sammobile there will also be a Glance Lighting feature that lights up the edge panel upon receiving calls and notifications when the phone is placed screen down. The lighting can be colour-coded by contact, too.

3G.co.uk has released the concept image at the top of this page, plus the following Samsung Galaxy S6 teaser video:

A new concept image comes from vouchercodespro.co.uk, shown below:

According to GSMArena, the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be available in Charcoal Black, Copper Gold, Electric Blue and Shimmery White.

Samsung Galaxy S6 mini

It's highly likely there will also be a Samsung Galaxy S6 mini - check out our Samsung Galaxy S6 mini predictions.

Samsung Galaxy S6 new fingerprint sensor

According to Sammobile Samsung is updating the fingerprint sensor in the S6 to work with touch- rather than swipe-based input, making it more akin to Touch ID used by the iPhone 6. This means you'll be able to record an entire rather than partial fingerprint, and should mean it will work a lot better. Its functionality will otherwise remain the same.

Samsung Galaxy S6 software

Samsung is making Tizen products but it's almost certain that the Galaxy S6 will stick with Android. Google has announced Android 5.0 Lollipop so Samsung has plenty of time to get this version pre-installed and we expect a new version of Samsung's TouchWiz interface.

According to Business Korea, the Samsung Galaxy S6's TouchWiz interface will be stripped right back, removing unnecessary features to offer a stock Android-like experience as found on the Nexus 6. Sammobile seconds this idea, making many of its add-on apps available as downloads rather than preinstalling them.

Samsung Galaxy S6 new payment system

According to GSMArena, the Korean media is reporting that Samsung has lined up Visa to work alongside it in creating a new payments system for the Galaxy S6. It will be similar to Apple Pay, but use LoopPay technology. This payments system will also be available on the Galaxy S5 and Note 4.

Samsung Galaxy S6 processor, memory and storage

Under the bonnet we think the Galaxy S6 will be powered by one of Qualcomm's 64-bit processors (Android Lollipop will support 64-bit) which have already been announced and scheduled to arrive inside devices in the first half of 2015 – how convenient. Android L vs Android 4.4 KitKat comparison review: What's the difference?

The Snapdragon 808 and Snapdragon 810 are the two options here and Samsung could launch each in different markets. The former supports up to 1600 x 2560 displays and the latter allows for full 4K.

SamMobile claims the Galaxy S6 will come with its own new Exynos 7420, a 64-bit chip with four Cortex-A53 and four Cortex-A57 cores. However, there will also be a Snapdragon 810 version which is the one we could end up getting in the UK.

However, overheating issues with the Snapdragon 810 could lead Samsung to shun Qualcomm in favour of its own Exynos chip in 90 percent of Samsung Galaxy S6 handsets at launch. Once Qualcomm has ironed out problems with the 810 it will gradually replace the Exynos in newer batches of the Samsung Galaxy S6.

In its latest earnings call Qualcomm suggested it had lost a big client, which could well be Samsung.

On the storage front, the phone is rumoured to come in 32-, 64- and 128 GB models to choose from. Samsung is likely to equip the Galaxy S6 with 3GB of RAM, plus a microSD slot that accepts up to 128GB.

Samsung Galaxy S6 cameras

The majority of the rumours suggest the Samsung Galaxy S6 will feature a 20Mp rear camera. However, SamMobile says the firm is currently deciding between the existing 16Mp and the new 20Mp camera, and believes it likely that the firm will stick with 16Mp with optical image stabilisation like the Note 4.

Front cameras are increasingly important and the Galaxy S6 looks set to get a 5Mp shooter to match the freshly announced Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5.

Samsung Galaxy S6 other specifications

According to GSMArena, the Samsung Galaxy S6 will also feature dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS and an IR blaster.

Samsung Galaxy S6 software: enhanced themes

According to Sammobile, Samsung is prioritising enhanced themes customisation with future devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S6. A Themes Center will let you change system sounds, fonts and Events (such as Christmas or Valentine's Day).

There will also be a Themes Store, which has the following icon:

Samsung Galaxy S6 accessories

Sammobile has leaked the following list of accessories for the Samsung Galaxy S6.

• • EF-CG920B — Zero-F S View Cover Case ‏
• • EP-PG920I — Zero-Flat S Charger Pad Power ‏
• • EF-WG920B — Zero-F Flip Wallet Case ‏
• • ET-FG920C‏ — Zero-F Screen protector ETC
• • EF-YG920B — Zero-F Protective Cover [PULeather] Case ‏

• • EF-WG925BSEBUS — Zero Flip Wallet Case PVR
• • EF-QG925BGEGWW‏‎ — Zero Protective Cover [Clear]Case

The Samsung Galaxy S6 will also be sold with Sennheiser earbuds, according to Sammobile, in a bid to appease audiophiles. The earbuds reportedly look similar to those supplied with the Amazon Fire Phone and the Apple EarPods. They will also feature apt-X, which may mean they work wirelessly.

Furthermore, Sammobile says accessories will be the S6's strongest suit. You'll be able to purchase add-ons that let you monitor your blood sugar and upload that data to the cloud for a doctor to view, get a secondary E Ink display for reading books, and there will be detachable lenses that turn the Galaxy S6 into the Galaxy S6 K Zoom. Other accessories in the works are said to include sports equipment such as bicycles and steppers.

Sammobile also claims the S6 and S6 Edge will support Samsung's Gear VR.

Samsung Galaxy S6 to come with StoreDot super-fast-charging technology?

That'll be a no, but it would be cool if it did.

StoreDot's FlashBattery, which is able to fully charge your phone in one minute, is much thicker than same-capacity lithium batteries used in smartphones. Right now it wouldn't be able to get you through the day without several recharges, although StoreDot has given itself a 2017 goal to match the size and capacity of lithium-ion.

Sure, it's interesting to note that the FlashBattery was on show by appointment only at the same tradeshow that the Samsung Galaxy S6 was rumoured to be available for private viewings: CES 2015. StoreDot also used a Samsung Galaxy S5 on which to demonstrate its tech. And it said it was in talks with all the big players at CES 2015. But, let's use some common sense here: it probably just used the S5 because, unlike many of its rivals, its battery is removable. 

So while you will likely see this super-fast charging tech in future Galaxy devices, it certainly won't be in the S6. Check out the video below to see how it works.
