Samsung may be better known these days for its TVs and smartphones, but the company is a major R&D player in software and hardware markets. A recent investment of $1.1 billion in Silicon Valley is just one example of the place R&D has within Samsung.

Now, the South Korean electronics giant has shown working proof of a tablet controlled by the user's brain. An MIT Technology Review report says that Samsung’s researchers are working with Roozbeh Jafari, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Texas in Dallas, on how users can use their thoughts to launch applications, pick contacts, choose songs in a playlist, adjust volume and power up and power down a tablet or any device, in this case, a Galaxy Note 10.1.

HTC's latest flagship device, named the One, has been spotted on a number of listings online. Shopping website, ShopYourWorld, is selling the handset for Rs 41,000, which is almost Rs 2,000 less than the official cost of the phone. At the time of writing, the phone isn't available for purchase anywhere else, but it is listed on some other websites.

The One will undoubtedly be a popular phone because of its price point. We've been very impressed with the handset, as you can see from our review. It has a good-looking new UI and its hardware can pack quite a punch.

The One has a 4.7-inch full HD SuperLCD3 display that has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. This means the screen has a pixel density of 469 ppi, the highest we have come across yet. The phone has a lot of new features, including the BlinkFeed, Zoe, BoomSound, and the new version of Sense UI.

Here are some of the key specifications of the HTC One:

• 4.7-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels
• HSPA+; LTE, Cat3, GPRS/EDGE
• Wi-Fi 802.11 a/ac/b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA, Wi-Fi hotspot
• GPS with A-GPS support and GLONASS
• Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP
• NFC
• HTC UltraPixel camera with autofocus, 2.1-megapixel front camera
• 32 or 64GB internal memory

The HTC One was launched back in February at swanky, simultaneous events in London and New York. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 600 CPU, which has four Krait cores clocked at 1.7GHz each. There is also an Adreno 320 GPU and a healthy 2GB of RAM.

“People today immerse themselves in a constant stream of updates, news and information. Although smartphones are one of the main ways we stay in touch with the people and information we care about, conventional designs have failed to keep pace with how people are actually using them,” said Faisal Siddiqui, Country Head, HTC India, during the launch. “A new, exciting approach to the smartphone is needed and with the new HTC One, we have re-imagined the mobile experience from the ground up to reflect this new reality.”

The HTC BlinkFeed transforms the home screen into a single live stream of information aggregated from various sources. The infomation displayed on the screen includes social updates, entertainment and lifestyle updates, news and photos.

HTC Zoe gives people the ability to shoot high-res photos that come to life in three-second snippets. These photos, called Zoes, are then displayed in a way that brings the gallery to life and transforms the traditional photo gallery of still images into a motion gallery. It also automatically creates integrated highlight films from each event comprised of Zoes, photos and videos set to music with professionally designed cuts, transitions and effects. These highlight videos can be remixed or set to different themes, and can be shared on social networks, email and other services.

HTC BoomSound introduces front-facing stereo speakers with a dedicated amplifier and a full HD display that immerses people in music, videos, games and the YouTube clips they love. BeatsAudio integration is enabled across the entire experience.

Samsung Electronics Co is considering purchasing mobile memory chips from rival SK Hynix Inc for future products including its new flagship Galaxy S smartphone to be launched this month, J.K. Shin, head of Samsung's mobile business, said on Thursday.

A supply deal would be a boost to SK Hynix, which relies heavily on Apple Inc as a customer for its mobile dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips.

It also points to tightening chip supplies as mobile gadget makers prepare to upgrade their flagship product lines with greater variety and increased memory storage capacity.

Prices of mobile DRAM chips have increased steadily since early this year, reflecting a tightening supply outlook.

Samsung, the world's biggest maker of DRAM chips, has largely depended on internal supplies of memory chips for its Galaxy range of smartphones, but the market has expected it may also begin looking to outside chip suppliers to ensure no supply disruptions for key models of its Galaxy S smartphone.

The Galaxy S4, which will go on sale later this month, is expected to outsell its predecessors, with monthly sales of about 10 million, and could leapfrog past Apple's iPhone which recaptured the top spot in global smartphone sales in the fourth quarter, analysts said.

Shares in Hynix dropped 2.8 percent on Thursday as Apple suppliers were hit by concerns of weaker demand from the iPhone and iPad maker, after a disappointing revenue forecast by one of its suppliers.

Shares in LG Display Co, which makes flat screens for Apple's iPhone and iPad, tumbled 4.3 percent.
