At the end of the week we had Huawei coming up with set of product, among them Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD was the most hyped one. But I am bit disappointed with the pricing thing, I expected lower price than that. And we have been able to cover up some decent product here. Basically we are trying to categories our stuffs here so we will be doing it to best with time.
Smart Phone Review
We come through Android more these days with its rapid
popularity so now it’s the giant in PC software industry with its brand Window
coming to the software mobile world. Yes its Window phone 8. With recent
success with Galaxy S III with android as its OS now the Company’s first Window
Phone 8 mobile – Samsung Ativ S will surely have plenty of competition when it
goes on sale. The arrival of Windows Phone 8 adds loads of new features and
throws open the doors to mobiles with high-resolution screens and powerful
processors.
Talking about design and display, the phone is extremely slim, with huge display and lightweight too.

We have huge dependency on apps when we are on mobile world.
Along with apps we have games occupying most of our space. Archos now is
unleashing a dedicated gamepad with advantage of Ice Cream Sandwich’s native
support for physical gaming controls.
- o 7 Inch capacitive screen,
- o Physical control buttons and analog sticks
- o Full access to Google PlayTM
- o 1.5 GHz Dual-core processor combined with a Mali 400mp quad-core GPU
In addition, the GamePad includes automatic game recognition
and mapping tools – patented technology to ensure control compatibility with
every advanced Android game.
Google’s Nexus 7 tablet has been best in its class before
and after its launch. With its pricing, features and the launch of Jelly Bean (4.1)
was key to its popularity it deserved. Reminding of specs we get
- o 7 inch
- o IPS TFT active matrix - LED backlight
- o Display Resolution 1280 x 800 (216 ppi)
- o Features Scratch-resistant surface
- o Corning Gorilla glass
- o Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
- o NVidia Tegra 3 1.3 GHz
- o 10 hours
Now some clever developers over at XDA have pushed the
device to its limits with the release of a new kernel (the core of the Android
operating system) that is able to tweak the Nexus 7′s CPU and overclock it to
2.0GHz. Usually overclocking refers to increasing frequency of operation by
increasing no of cycles per second.
In real terms, there should be right balance between frequency, voltage and
stability. The main reason that the lower speed CPU is used in the Nexus 7 is
battery life. More megahertz means more power consumption which, in turn, means
less battery life.
With most advanced feature and most impressive of the entire
current android phone on the market, there has been rumor of S III brand
increasing its reach to camera as Samsung Galaxy S Camera. The camera is
supposedly built on the existing S3 design and features a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED
screen, Android ICS, and an impressive 16MP sensor. With manufacturers like
Nikon bringing its own camera smartphone in market, its good for Samsung to
widen itself.
Android is really growing fast; with its open source code it
has been widely implemented. Beyond giant manufacturer it has been hugely successful
for not well known brands too. Recently we came to know existence of Android
Mini PC with Android ICS as OS. So what does a 75$ can spec out, here is the
list
- o Android 4.0 ICS
- o 1.5GHz AllWinner A10 CPU
- o 512MB and 1GB RAM
- o USB port
- o mini-USB
- o mini-HDMI
75$ and you have Android PC on your pocket, unknown
manufacturer has however always been questioned when it comes to durability.
When we consider smartphones and tablets, we generally have
two Giant manufacturers, Nvidia and Qualcomm. Not a doubt both are competitors
in every aspect. The Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon S4 chip is going to beat the
ground with its great flexibility to tweak its designs paying a licensing fee
to build its own ARM-compatible processors rather than licensing the ARM Cortex
architecture directly, and it’s evident in newest processor architecture,
called Krait.
Inside technology of Snapdragon, its four core work
independently variable clock speeds. When a phone need little processing power,
such as in sleep mode, it uses only one core but as task increases more cores
get involved. So Snapdragon’s allows different cores perform different functions
but only draw the power needed for the task. And obviously this will increase
battery longevity which is what current need and trend is. So good luck
Qualcomm.
