Android's best-selling series returns for 2014, with Samsung offering a strangely muted and not entirely thrilling update to the Galaxy S range. The Galaxy S5 is a little more angular than the curved Galaxy S4, with Samsung still sticking with the physical Home button and once again eschewing a move to software buttons. While it's not hugely thrilling to look at, the insides of the S5 are more than capable, with a top-of-the-line Snapdragon 801 processor running the show and backed by 2GB of RAM.The Galaxy S range has had great cameras since the Galaxy SII blew everyone away with its colour reproduction and speed, and Samsung's continuing to lead here with a 16-megapixel sensor in the Galaxy S5. Plus, as we're seeing many other phone makers introduce, the S5's camera lets you adjust shot focus after you've taken a photo, if you fancy entering the required mode. And it's waterproof now, too. Samsung GALAXY S series refers to the high-end flagship Android smartphones in the Samsung GALAXY series and includes Super Smart devices of the GALAXY series and manufactured by Samsung Electronics. There ive generation of Samsung Galaxy are:

(IV) Task Four/AS1: Regulation

Regulation

Regulation is the control or guidance of mass media by government and other bodies of governing. The regulation proceeds law, rules or procedures with various goals, for example intervention to protect a stated "public interest" or encouraging competition within the viewers and bring in effective media market or establish common technical standards. Which why ASA is governing over newspapers advertising, internet advertising or other forms of advertising that would catch our attention.

ASA have many concern over advertising from Harm and Offence to Racism which is the main concern of everyone who watches the adverts might find some of them sad, funny or interesting others is offence to other or racist to the main people. ASA decides which adverts is honest, legal and interesting towards the viewers before it gets sent out into the world.

The Dark Side of Sweetness adverts shows that there two side to chocolate and how it has changed everyone lives but nearly everyone doesn't know how chocolate was discovered, created by Earth or Machine. The Adverts shows children doing their normal childhood game with set of tea or cooking material but they have created a evil side of their game playing.


One of the adverts shows a young girl using the PlayDough grinder to grind a baby chick into meat for her cooking which was kind of disturbing towards the viewers as this advert is only advertising the brand Chocolate towards the viewers with the wrong type of advertising towards the chocolate.






Another Advert shows two sisters playing tea party when the eldest sites goes off and pours poison into her little sister tea which hopefully is trying to kill and yet again this advert is based on the same Chocolate brand which not good towards it younger viewers and adults who will find not good towards their children.









Another Adverts shows a different meaning toward the advert that they were meant to show us the rightful adverts towards the viewers. Thousands of Adverts are showing the wrong meaning of the adverts towards the viewers which is not the smart way to do. Other adverts have the right meaning but towards the wrong advert for the wrong advert will cause a lot of disagreement towards the adverts and their purpose of advertising.

That Task IV completed.
