Posted on March 25, 2012 by Farheen

Review: AT&T is coming up with a set of Android smartphones all of which are the next generation models and have a bit of something to appeal to a very targeted set of people looking for one or another feature in their smartphones. In similar fashion, Samsung’s Exhilarate offers a a bit of something from the Android pie.

There is not much announced about this newest arrival which will debut sometime this month except that it will be affordable bringing LTE technology to a wider range of customers. Samsung Exhilarate is also being said to be manufactured out of recycled post-consumer materials hence the credential of a “green” smartphone.

It will have a functionality such as Eco modes and tools such as an Eco calendar and calculator which are probably meant to enhance the energy consumption of the smartphone to make it more efficient and long-lasting.

HTC Titan II: 1st Windows Phone To Feature 16 Megapixels Camera Full Review

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Farheen

HTC Titan II Review

Announced the same day as the Lumia 900 which is definitely the competition it is going against, HTC’s Titan II will feature a whopping 16 Megapixel camera- this is not a smartphone, but a super phone.

However, more megapixels does not necessarily mean better imaging qualities as we saw in the test pictures taken by the HTC Titan II. But the image stability and details of the camera, which is like a small bulge on the rear, were great thanks to a backside-illuminated sensor and probably a new benchmark in smartphones. The camera allows a variety of focusing and a 720p video recording.

Although the Titan II heavily markets its image properties, it comes with many upgrades. The battery gets a boost in its life (1730mAh) although it is non-removable. The Titan II has the same 4.7-inches WVGA super LCD capacitive touchscreen from the Titan I. It remains to be seen if the large screen and vibrant display will still run the battery quality down. The Thunderbolt is pretty much the same as the one found in Titan I although the body felt smoother.

Specifications:The HTC Titan II is a Microsoft Windows Phone 7.5 Mango using a 1.5GHz Qualcomm S2 Snapdragon processor, 512MB of RAM, and 16GBs of non-expandable storage. This 4G LTE smartphone measures 132 x 69 x 13 mm and weighs 147 g. Its4.7-inches S-LCD capacitive touchscreen has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels (~199 ppi pixel density). It will have all of the following connectivity options: 4G, HSDPA, HSUPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA, Bluetooth and a microUSB v2.0 port. Its camera is a primary 16 Mega Pixel, 4640 x 3480 pixels, autofocus, dual-LED flash with videos recorded at 720p@30fps. It also has a secondary 1.3MP front facing camera.

Blackberry Bold 9650: Boosted Memory, Great Touch Pad But Weak Camera

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Farheen

Review: The Blackberry Bold 9650 is a 3G smartphone with Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth. It comes with an easy–to-use optical touch pad. This dual-mode device can work on both GSM and CDMA networks. It has more on-board or internal memory than its previous brothers.

RIM’s BlackBerry browser is not the best especially since the Blackberry version 7.1 is available. The Bold continues its tradition of an infamous battery life. Not only that, its screen lacks solidity in resolution. Pictures snapped from the smartphone’s camera looked flurried and unfocused, and the colors were not clear or differentiated. Video quality was poor compared to the other devices so nothing in the way of innovation especially in imaging in the Bold 9650. It remains a pricey phone especially since newer and better models have already made an appearance on the stage and competitive models remain much lower priced than the Bold 9650

Blackberry Bold 9650

Specifications: The Blackberry Bold 9650 runs on the original BlackBerry OS, measuring 112 x 62 x 14 mm and weighing 136 g. The 2.44-inches TFT screen has a resolution of 480 x 360 pixels (~246 ppi pixel density). Apart from the 2GB of internal space and 512 MB RAM, it has a microSD slot which allows up to 32GB of extendable memory. The Bold has HSDPA, WLAN and Bluetooth v2.1 but no HSUPA,. microUSB v2.0. It also has a 3.15 MP, LED flash primary, autofocus camera on the rear which has a resolution of 2048×1536 pixels.

BlackBerry Bold 9930: Faster And With QWERTY Full Review

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Farheen

Review: RIM’s Blackberry Bold 9930 was the best of the operating system at the time of its release and it still is a good piece of technology, despite the newest version of the Bold operating system 7.1 available as a better alternative. The main qualities that help it beat its predecessors are its faster and smoother browser, the QWERTY keypad without its plastic feel and the fluidity of its touch screen.

The Bold 9930 is slimmer and has a bit more width. Its display is far more vivid and comes with a faster 1.2GHz processor. Photo quality is improved, too. However, the drawback is that it all comes at a big price which is beaten by cheaper prices competitors put out for the same type of smartphones they offer. It doesn’t have a secondary camera and its battery is weaker.

BlackBerry Bold 9930

Specifications: The Blackberry Bold 9930 measures 115 x 66 x 10.5 mm and weight 130 g and runs on Blackberry OS 7.0 with a processing speed of 1.2 GHz. It 2.8 inches TFT capacitive touchscreen has a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels(~286 ppi pixel density). The microSD slot allows an extension on the Bold’s 8GB internal storage apart from a microUSB v2.0 and 768 MB RAM. In terms of connectivity, it offers all the options as found in the previous version: WLAN, HSDPA/HSUPA and Bluetooth v2.1.  It has a primary rear 5 MP, LED flash camera which shoots still-pictures of 2592×1944 pixels and video of 720p.

Galaxy Note: ICS Update Delayed Again, Extra Features Offered To Apologize

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Farheen

While the wait for the Galaxy Note’s turn to the Ice Cream Sandwich gets unbearable, Samsung has decided to sweeten the deal. Announced this week, now the owners of Galaxy Note will get a “premium suite upgrade” along with the ICS in the second quarter.

We were promised the upgrade in the first quarter of 2012, and with this announcement Samsung is raising some serious questions whether it can deliver the software at all in its entirety.

galaxy s3,galaxy s3 new image

This “premium suite upgrade” will include extra multimedia features and new apps optimized for the Galaxy Note’s S Pen stylus. One of the new features is something called S Note that the company says will add details to any written or drawn sketch with other digital information.

In addition to these features, Samsung is offering a couture as well, that is , Angry Birds. Downloading the Angry Birds Space now allows one some 30 extra levels into the game all free of cost if and only if it is unpacked in the next three months. Definitely only to apologize for the delay of the ICS. It’s probable that until Samsung DOES release the Android 4.0, Google will have already brought out the next version.

Apple’s MacBook Air: Small And Powerful Full Review

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Farheen

MacBook Air Review

Apple’s new MacBook Air works faster than the 2010 version and comes with a a backlit keyboard, and a high-speed Thunderbolt I/O port. Both 11- and 13-inch MacBook Airs are equipped with new, faster second-gen Core i5 processors. The new 11-inch Air has the same design as last year’s model. The screen area doesn’t have the edge-to-edge glass over a black bezel but instead its surrounded by a thick silver bezel. While small, the screen is incredibly bright and crisp. Not only could we view video from nearly any wide angle, but even tiny words were visible against white backgrounds.

Thunderbolt is Apple’s new high-speed I/O port for HD audio, video, and data, allowing multiple hard drives and monitors to be connected via a single cable. Apple’s large multitouch trackpad remains the best available in terms of size, responsiveness and construction quality.

apple macbook air

However, for better storage and  battery life, many might be tempted to get the 13 inch MacBook Air or even the more full-featured 13 inch MacBook Pro. But, for sheer portability and performance, nothing can beat the 11-inch Air.

Also, the Webcam doesn’t shoot in HD. Applications installed via other methods can’t be instantly deleted from the iOS-like Launchpad), and the Mac App Store, while useful, has too many holes in its software library to be considered comprehensive.

The built-in speaker offers crisp sound, but its volume is limited. The programs preinstalled in the new Air such as OS X Lion which maximizes screen real estate on the 11-inch Air but compromises viewing modes when gaming.

Apple MacBook Air Specifications

The 11-inch Air is the only MacBook with a 16:9 display (the 13-incher is still 16:10), and uses the same 1,366×768-pixel native resolution. It weighs 2.34 pounds( 13-incher weighs 2.68). Both have Core i5 processors and run on OS X 10.7 Lion. The entry-level Air still has the same memory and RAM as last year’s version: 2GB of RAM and 64GB of flash storage, which most people will want to upgrade from–and there’s still no SD card slot, Ethernet port, or 3G wireless option. Video recording could be better.

Motorola Droid 4: The RAZR But With A QWERTY Full Review

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Farheen

Motorola Droid 4 Review

Motorola’s Droid 4 is the first Android smartphone in the US with a QWERTY keyboard with an ICS update scheduled soon. The Droid 4 appeared quite quicker than expected after the third generation of Droid. It comes with LTE technology and better CPU and RAM speed. The design resembles the RAZR except that it also has a QWERTY keyboard. The Droid comes with a lot of on-board memory hence the lack of a memory card for this edition.

However, the display of the Droid 4 features an older version of the PenTile technology and has poor contrast and viewing angles. The battery is also an issue since it is irreplaceable apart from having a poor life. The Droid 4 does not feature a dedicated camera button. It also has a default number of Verizon apps which sadly, cannot be uninstalled. No Corning Gorilla Glass for the display, either.

Droid 4 Specs: The Droid 4 is a dual-core smartphone with a 1.2 GHz processor and runs on Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread. It has a 4 inches, TFT capacitive touchscreen giving a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels and a smooth slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It has 1GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage along with a microSD card slot.

Samsung’s Focus S: A Differentiated Windows Phone Full Review

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Farheen

Review: Samsung’s Focus S is a Windows Phone which is differentiated from the more budget-conscious Focus Flash not just in size. Focus S is bigger, has more built-in memory and better cameras. Unfortunately, as a Windows 7.5 OS, higher resolutions cannot be attained.

That does not make it, in any way, the most suitable smartphones though. The Focus S lacks a system-wide file manager. It has a non-expandable memory (no microUSB slot), and does not allow for Bluetooth file transfers. A very restricted amount of third-party apps can be accessed.The browser does not support Flash, Silverlight nor is there any DivX/XviD video support. It depends on the software, Zune, for file management, syncing and even the poor quality of video support.

Samsung Focus s

Specifications

The Focus S’s 4.3-inches Super AMOLED Plus screen has a WVGA resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. It has Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support as well as 3G with HSDPA (14.4 Mbps) and HSUPA (5.76Mbps). Not only is it equipped with a Windows Phone 7.5 operating system but also a 1.4 GHz Scorpion CPU and 512MB RAM, along with a Snapdragon chipset. Fortunately, it comes with the functionality to remove a wireless provider’s apps from the device. There is an 8 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash which allows geo-tagging and 720p video recording, as well as a front facing 1.3MP camera. There is 16GB of built-in storage, Wi-Fi b/g/n; DLNA support; Wi-Fi hotspot capable and Bluetooth v2.1.

HTC Titan A Windows Phone That Remains Serious See Full Review

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Farheen

HTC Titan Review

The HTC Titan has a premium feel to its body and beautiful design is well rounded off with a deep and colorful display. The quality of sound during calls was clear and loud.

The HTC Titan could have gone too big in its attempt to be big due to which the screen size had to be compromised. It does not offer expandable memory nor any mass storage slot. For file management, syncing even video transcoding is taken care of by Zune only. No Flash (nor Silverlight) support in the browser, No native video calls, No DivX/XviD video support.

The HTC Titan has made good of the upgrades and kept some dangerous competition at bay. Not only the screen size but wonderful camera quality. And the battery is fair enough. With Nokia’s LUMIA series making a niche in the Windows OS market, HTC are sending word that they are serious in keeping their Windows flagship devices going strong. This is important for Windows where in a market it needs to develop against the iOS and the Android devices which ar every much ahead in the game.

Some Ideas About The Newest iPhone And What Can Be Expected in 2012

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Farheen

Nothing has been confirmed about the newest iPhone but with the iPad out, rumors are rampant about this new gadget. Talks about 4G are still circulating without any confirmation from Apple but that isn’t stopping people such as Antonio De Rosa, a concept-designer, from putting forward the plausible.

new iPhone images

According to De Rosa, the next iPhone might not use a traditional SIM but surprisingly would make use of data provided directly from the network carrier. Volume and silent buttons will probably be at the top to allow the devices a greater amount of thinness. This would allow some width in the middle where the central process work will be located. An ‘LED-powered edge’ would monitor battery life and if a user wanted, indicate an incoming call.

new iPhone images,new iPhone pic,

3 screens and not 2 are in De Rosa’s design, all Retina displays. The largest is the main screen and then a narrow rectangular strip at the top and bottom. The top one is for notifications and network information, the bottom for multitasking and dock, while the middle will remain desktop. In the middle of the dock screen is the Home button.

new iPhone official pic

Not all of these are very feasible. Obviously, Siri, gyroscope on 4 axis, motion sensor, and all the other features currently found in the iPhone 4S will be included. 4G LTE compatibility and the much acclaimed Retina display are about the only technological innovations we know for sure for Apple to have up its sleeves and we can hope with a little certainty that these will feature in the new iPhone.

Samsung Mesmerize: A Good Pick For Its Value [Review Specs]

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Farheen

Samsung Mesmerize Review

The Samsung Mesmerize works well as a speakerphone, speed dialing, voice commands, conference calling, and text and multimedia messaging with threaded chat view. Bluetooth, 3G, GPS, and integrated Wi-Fi are also all onboard, and as a bonus, the Mesmerize can be used a mobile hot spot for up to five devices.

Mesmerize’s 5-megapixel camera has excellent imaging qualities with well-defined images whose depth and vibrancy of colors were maintained. Not only the camera, but the video put on a good performance too and HD videos were well focused and didn’t exhibit any fuzziness in their execution.

The Mesmerize has DLNA support, which allows one to use the AllShare app to the heart’s content facilitated with wireless streaming.

Probably the truly sufferable thing about this smartphone is its call quality. It might be much better but distortions occur which may depend heavily on where one is. The phone also feels a bit slick.

Samsung Mesmerize

Samsung Mesmerize Specifications

Samsung Mesmerize measuring 124.5 x 64.3 x 9.9 mm has a 4-inches Super AMOLED touch screen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels (~233ppi). It comes with Android 2.1 and Samsung’s TouchWiz 3.0 interface which will be upgradable to Android 2.2. Under the hood is a dual-band, 1GHz Hummingbird processor. The Samsung Mesmerize comes packed with a 16GB microSD card. It has good battery performance. The smartphone has a 5-megapixel, LED flash, tap to focus camera that takes excellent photos and HD video.

Red Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX “Red Carpet Edition”

Posted on March 25, 2012 by Farheen

Motorola will be running a special edition to its Droid RAZR MAXX series which it is labeling the “Red Carpet” edition. In lieu of the Oscars, it will only be available to five Academy Award nominees and the Oscar presenters and of course will be available in red color.

For the ladies, this gift will include a gold satchel and for the men it will include a savvy shaving-kit. An ELITE Silver Bluetooth set by Motorola will be included in the set.

The specs for the Droid RAZR MAXX will remain the same but sadly the color range and of course the gifts will not be available to the general public. The way the lucky people will be selected is through a Twitter sweepstakes which the company is holding.

Motorola Droid Razr Maxx,Droid Razr Maxx

And who did not enjoy the feel of the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx which comes in a slim, attractive, and durable design with the same gorgeous display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, and fast Verizon 4G/LTE data speeds as its predecessor. It retains powerful multimedia chops and tight security features. And not to mention, a beefed-up battery. To be update to ICS soon.

The Motorola Droid Razr Maxx proves that a powerful Android superphone can remain thin yet still promise marathon-worthy battery life. If you can live without Ice Cream Sandwich and have big hands, the Maxx is extremely compelling.

Prices Speak Loud For SIM-free HTC One X and One S In UK, Germany

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Farheen

Getting a single carrier for your smartphone may actually be a disatisfying experience but nevertheless parting with your money might just be a tad bit more disgruntling. With the HTC’s newest One series finally about to hit the shelves in Great Britain and Germany, retailers are handing them out with a variety of choices.

In the UK, the quad-cored One X without a carrier is priced at £479.95. The One S is a bit cheaper selling at at £429.95.  While retailers might offer the smartphones for less, the differences in prices will not be dramatic.

htc x one,htc

To the east in Germany, the HTC One X without a carrier is being sold at a pricier meal. One can place a pre-order for €599 or try to get a good purchase discount from an online retailer who might be willing to sell the new smartphone at a price of €577.15 (with €7.90 additional shipping charges). It’s either that or taking advantage of another HTC deal which allows you to purchase the One S and save up till €100. Yhis version of HTC One will be selling at €499 while keeping many enticing features of the One series under its hood.

Choosing a carrier service might be a good idea for a cheaper purchase since those were the prices quoted for the devices all until this week. If not, saving now would be a very good idea.

Apple Changes To iPad Magnets And The Smart Cover Dilemma

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Farheen

First a Heating issue and now this. In the newest of news from owners of the new iPad, it seems that the sleep/wake option is not coordinating well with the Smart Covers on the newest generation of the iPad series.

iPad case,official ipad cover,ipad magnet cover

(Credit: David Carnoy/CNET)

When a user flips open the iPad’s Smart Cover, the iPad wakes up from its standby state, that is, the sleep/wake function acivates. The reason some are considering might lie in the built-in magnets in the device which are supposed to signal the opening or closing of the tablet. It seemed that it was not just ann unresolved issue with a few units here and there but some internal functionality problem. After different customers made the same complaint, one of Apple’s manufacturing partner released a statement confirming that there was indeed a problem with the sleep/wake funtion on some of the new iPad devices as a result of some changes Apple had made in the sensors of the tablet’s magnet. The company apologized for the inconvinience and is allowing customers to exchange any iPad device which is exhibiting auto wake issues with a new one.

The issue isn’t paramount to a defect since there seems to have been a simple switch in the polarity of the magnets. Some of the complaints came from customers who were using their iPad2 covers on their new iPads.

If you  have a smart cover that you purchased with the iPad 2, then you might get it replaced from the same manufacturer who designed it if and only if they state that the new Smart Covers are designed for the third generation tablet.  However, no exchanges can be made for Smart Covers that were designed for the iPad 2 and do not work with the new iPad.

Authentic Images Of the Newest Samsung Galaxy S 3

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Farheen

Images of Samsung’s newest flagship device, Galaxy S III, were released this week and were all but authenticated by the Samsung officials themselves who have yet to officially release the smartphone themselves.

What makes this image spectacular is that it is actually being confirmed by critics as the real device itself. The image which was circulated by Reddit shows a fabolous white smartphone with the thinness of a little more than a hairline. It has a camera button, an edge-to-edge glass and a speaker grill at the front. The pictures stop short of exploring the rear of the device and nothing much can be deduced about the material of the S III but something new can be gleaned and not from the images. On the bottom right corner of the images pops up a namem, Weber Shandwick, which is a firm Samsung has partnered with in the past for PR purposes. This of anything confirms the authencity of the images and this alone is quelling any doubts since it must have taken some amount of effort to include that firm’s name which was behind Samsung’s press event in CES 2010.

galaxy s3,galaxy s3 new image

The only other news now is the very news itself which is greatly being anticipated at the Samsung Unpacked event in London to be held at May 22nd. It is probable that the event might be delayed uptil June which would fit in well with the excitement of the Olympics. It seems that Samsung is biding the time to make the Galaxy S II one hell of a smartphone.

Samsung Will Give Galaxy S 3 A Quad-core CPU and An on-chip LTE

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Farheen

A Samsung official confirmed that an quad-core Exynos chipset and an on-chip LTE will be used in the newest Galaxy S. This will make the Galaxy S III the most powerful smartphone out there in the market.

According to the official, Samsung is looking for ways to reduce its depedancy on Qualcomm and with the much awaited Gallaxy S III being the pinnacle of the market’s expectations, the new LTE device will feature the mother company’s own manufactured on-chip. What exactly is this meant to achieve? Well for starters, this tweak is meant to improve the poor battery life in LTE devices that have succeeded the Galaxy S III which made use of a seperate chip for LTE connectivity.

samsung galaxy s3

The quad-core CPU raises many suppositions. Its highly probable that the 32nm version of the Cortex A9 might be used but Cortex A15 cores are not a bad choice either. The Galaxy S II makes use of the 400MP version of the quad-core Mali GPU and therefore this might also feature in the Galaxy S III but what remains to be seen is whether is will be the new T604 or an upgrade of its predecessors.

The Galaxy S III has still to receive an official release but already much of the design and specs being peddled around have already become the accepted specifications of the newest smartphone.
