Samsung Galaxy M Pro Preview

Introduction:

The Samsung Galaxy M Pro seems to illustrate very well the different categories in Samsung's new way of titling its smartphones. “M” should stand for “Mid-tier”, a level above the entry “Y”, and indeed, when compared to the Galaxy Y Pro, the Galaxy M Pro is taller, wider, and better looking. It also sports beefed up processor and rear camera, as well as adds a front-facing one. The screen resolution is higher than in the Y Pro at the same size, leading to better pixel density.

Are these upgrades enough to justify a price point in the higher bracket, or are they just granular improvements that don't bring along much differentiation? Read on our impressions from the prototype unit to find out...

Design:

We immediately have to say that the larger size of the Samsung Galaxy M Pro, compared to the Y Pro, is resonating with our big hands. The added width and length don't make the handset feel much bigger, since it is also thinner than the Y Pro, while carrying the same light weight, but they make it much more comfortable for typing.

You can compare the Samsung Galaxy M Pro with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.

While our thumbs were hitting two or three keys at once looking for the right letter before, on the Samsung Galaxy M Pro, with its spacing between the larger chiclet-style domed buttons, we felt right at home firing away messages. The keyboard's layout is plain and standard, which is a welcome thing, since everything is right where you expect it to be.

The 2.6” touchscreen display is capable of displaying more colors than the one on the Galaxy Y Pro, and is also with higher 480x320 pixels of resolution, increasing pixel density, and thus making text and website details appear more distinct and easily readable.

The 5MP camera on the back is now being accompanied by an LED flash, and the back cover is partially made of brushed metal, which, coupled with the two-tone chassis, make for a distinguished enough outer shell, which is easy to handle. Moreover, the physical navigational buttons and  optical pad below the display are a comforting tribute to the days when we actually felt when we were pressing on something to induce an action.

Samsung Galaxy Y Preview

Introduction:

Samsung keeps churning out smartphones as if there's no tomorrow, stuffing the channels with sometimes marginally different handsets six months after it introduced the previous crop.

The Samsung Galaxy Y is not an exception to this strategy – about half a year since the company launched something like the Samsung Galaxy Mini, for instance, it announced the Galaxy Y, which, according to the new naming scheme, should be an affordable handset for teens or emerging markets.

Some of its specs are marginally better than the Galaxy Mini, like a slightly faster processor and less weight, but the camera is 2MP, for example, against the Galaxy Mini's 3MP, while the screen resolution is the same (QVGA). The biggest improvement seems to be the Android OS version – we are running Gingerbread on the Galaxy Y, but this is not a huge advantage, as software can always be updated.

So does Samsung's fresh naming scheme an event enough to merit a new, largely unchanged, low-end Android entry from the manufacturer six months later, considering it's getting somewhat crowded down there? Read on the preview of our non-final unit to find out...

Design:

The outer appearance of the Samsung Galaxy Y is differentiated from the sea of black plastic rectangles  or ovals with... a silvery back cover and chrome-like sides. Alright, one for the design team here, since it found a cheap way to break from the mould. Moreover, the battery cover is dotted like snake skin, which makes the phone easier to hold for our slippery, shaking hands.

You can compare the Samsung Galaxy Y with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.

The basic 3” LCD display has the pretty appalling 240x320 pixels of resolution, but the colors are fairly bright. We know it's an entry level Android from Samsung, but a slightly larger screen would have made a big difference, or a slightly better resolution than the previous low-ends even.

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Y chassis looks and feels like the manufacturer is skimping on many features, including telling design, in order to stay mass market and affordable, but the two-toned shell is somewhat of a compensation.

Sony Ericsson Walkman Mix preview

Getting Started:

Sony Ericsson Walkman Mix: a reincarnation of a legendary brand, or simply an attempt to catch the attention of the well-known logo? The word Walkman Maxim in sweet times portable cassette and cd players, to bring the nostalgia for the good ol' fashion past Lee. The game with these feelings is a risky, but Sony Ericsson Walkman Mix takes the risk of increasing brand Walkman from the ashes in a phone function of the budget. This does not hold much ground in today's world smartphone with a modest 3-inch capacitive touchscreen, but offers a few cool new features.

Sony Ericsson Walkman is a mixture of music lovers on the go, of course. The blue fairy plays Zappin key just a preview of the chorus of a song by a karaoke function, you can sing along to your favorite tunes and horrors in your neighbourhood.

Design:

Sony Ericsson Walkman seems small. Mix is a super flyweight drop during pregnancy around 3.1 oz (88 g) but also not too thick with 0.68 (14.3 mm) body fat. In General, it's a real game in your hands – with all the perks of a plastic feel nostalgic and branding.


Scratch-resistant Capacitive Touch 3-inch monitor sporting a resolution of only 240 x 400 pixels. In front, half circle Home "stands out, a signature feature of the latest Sony Ericsson phones (smartphones and feature phones). It is convenient to large size, but it also helps signal recognition as any other company does not have.
Apart from the typical Lock and volume rocker, there is a dedicated camera shutter speed key, snapping quick pictures or take your camera from the menu, if you do not yet exist. Fixed focus 3.2 megapixel shooter is back and has no flash, but rather is only a simple basic camera.

Sony Ericsson Xperia ray preview

Introduction and design: three new Sony Ericsson phones, among whom was the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray, announced quite hush in CommunicAsia 2011 before a couple of weeks. Looking at the Display unit in our hands, we believe that the handset is actually deserved greater attention brought to it.

As a small touchscreen go smartphones, it is almost the perfect size, not directed against the Palm, if you have large hands, and if you're a regular position admirably. RADIUS Xperia is one of the thinnest smartphones in 0.87 (9.4 mm) and feathery in just 3.53 oz (100 g), plus we noticed that the handset is very convenient for a right-handed operation due to dimensions.

A large part in the middle of the phone screen out positive plays, which is 3.3 "LCD, a breath of fresh air after the huge 4" + Android phones since the Sony Ericsson didn't skimp on the level of detail in the image comes with a RADIUS Xperia 480 x 854 pixels-one of the highest resolutions have dealt with on a screen this size. Plugging in numbers into a calculator 299ppi for density for pixel returned just shy of the threshold "Retina" 300ppi. Sony Bravia has furthermore Mobile engine, improved color intensity and contrast while viewing images or videos.

You can compare Sony Ericsson Xperia ray with many other phones size visualization tool.

This only makes a rather provocative angle, running the latest version of Android 2.3 Melopswmo, but when you add Exmor R sensor, 8MP camera with LED video light (radiant!, you cannot use this as a flash), which showed that the benefits of the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, can have a terrible category opponent.

In addition, could swing the Sony Ericsson Xperia ray from the first to hit the retail design new Xperia line with a huge semi-circle semicircular in mid-November to a physical home button, and both capacitive keys hair. Dare to say that it is better than the previous design was too thin buttons arranged in arch beneath the screen, which trains whisky. Unlike the Sony Ericsson Xperia Xperia RADIUS arc springer sports a VGA camera-facing front for conversation, but to HDMI – the better. There are also only 300 MB ROM, microSD card, but a 4 GB included in the package.


Resulting design looks very elegant – a thin handset with glossy black front, but free at the same time, the choice of pink, black, white and gold colors. In fact, it is one of the few phones that even better in person at our shots, not glossy front of the justice. Has every opportunity to get the hearts of lovers of design awareness and/or female smartphone, plus performance and functionality at the front. The only thing we don't like is the location of the microUSB port on the top left, which makes use of the phone with the cable attaching something unpleasant.

Samsung Galaxy s preview

Getting Started:

Samsung Galaxy s (also known as I9103) is the first handset to walk shoes of Samsung Galaxy s II. A slightly stripped down version of Samsung's flagship, wearing a similar display, pack an equally strong core and only hampers camera 5 megapixels. In fact, milky way ® is the first of many other versions of the S-II, we expect to follow – exactly as happened with the original S, Galaxy, which has a separate version for each major u.s. airline. Galaxy r made of said hit both European markets in the United Kingdom, and comes with a slightly cheaper price.

A little less packaging, 4.2 "appearance by the S-II, Galaxy r also comes with a new processor-dual-core Tegra 2 replaces Samsung 1.2 GHz Exynos. Samsung has also done a little redesign — while the s-II could compete with the lightest and thinnest smartphones in the world, while made of plastic, feels solid, Galaxy r made of metal and plastics, all coming in a House, which is a thicker hair.


You can compare Samsung Galaxy s with many other phones size visualization tool.

Deeper advance into the layout, however, we should Note that I tested device "prototype", so that both the hardware and software is subject to change. We have seen it in Galaxy r specifies that the final version might look very original s Galaxy II.

Design:

The phone looks and feels solid. 4.2-inch Super clear LCD display with 480 x 800 pixel dominates the front. When the screen in s Galaxy II side to side, marketed Note almost size difference, but surely notice the difference in colour. Appearance in r is very similar to the lighter, with a little more natural, less exaggerated colors, but those of you seeking stronger contrasts, vibrant colours and deep blacks you'll prefer super Super AMOLED screen, plus the original S-II. With good viewing angles and above average sunlight readable, but we were impressed with the view of the Galaxy and r.


The Galaxy is R, the phone itself has undergone a redesign. It is a little thicker, adding 0.04 "in the region for the profile that measures 0.60". It is also heavier drop to 4.76 ounces. The difference in size and weight is felt when they r Galaxy feels dry House, which no longer record beating super slim opponent was Galaxy s II. Brushed metal plate with a removable back cover battery-1650mAh and adds to the feeling, making the device seem more premium compared with the plastic build S II.

GALAXiAS Samsung 10.1 Preview tab

Introduction and design:

We will make an original version of one of the most anticipated tablets this year, Samsung card 10.1, GALAXiAS has a lot, not least because of the fact that Samsung went back to the drawing board when he saw how thin the Apple iPad was 2.

Samsung's design concept of Android devices is to keep things as thin and light as possible, for all plastic design debt – look at Galaxy s II. If you like it or not is entirely subjective topic, you might prefer some more noble materials such as metal and glass to the Cabinet, but I can't defend that thin and light are of the utmost importance in the mobile gizmos.

Since submitting this design philosophy with 10.09 x 6.81 x 0.51 "(172.9 x 256.2 x 8.6 mm) 10.1" shale, weighing a mere 20.99 oz (355 g), we are quite satisfied with it. To put it in perspective – this is the thinnest, lightest 12 tablet "there, a bit less so than even Apple iPad 2, which was of course, Samsung's goal all along, despite the existence of a tad larger screen.

Display 10.1 "itself is Samsung's own PLS-LCD black, with sharp 1280 x 800 pixel resolution, which should bring more brightness and wide viewing angles LCD IPS technology of the iPad, for example 10%. This paper is, in fact, we can see a big difference, but the appearance is very good. The colors are quite vibrant has great viewing angles, and the screen is bright enough for decent visibility outside unless the Sun directly, blasting course.

Another thing bugged us more, but when looking around silver pages. Our Wi-Fi only version Samsung has no tab GALAXiAS 10.1 memory card slot, so you are stuck with whatever the internal memory. Versions with cellular connectivity is presumed to have a SIM card and memory card slots, but not here. When examined in the landscape, the tablet PC is hosting the two left and right stereo speakers, proprietary dock connector on the bottom and the top is bound to a button short power/lock and a larger volume rocker and in standard audio jack. Back is painted in white, with silver stripe at the top, where small round eye 3.2 MP camera with Led Flash, located adjacent to the Center. The facade of the screen is black, white, black, and silver is the choice for the entry GALAXY 10.1 composite color.

Overall, the Samsung flagship tablet felt very ergonomic, mainly due to the fact that they are thinner and lighter than 10-inchers, but also because of the rounded corners and atraktoeides limbs. It is somewhat unpleasant to arrive from a flat surface, but iPad 2 inclined edges are easier on the fingers from this point of view. Your muscles will continue to the page if you keep the tire 10.1 GALAXY tab with one hand, but after a period greater than most other 10-inchers have had.

LG Optimus 3D preview (emotions 4 G)

This is a preview of the LG Optimus 3D for Europe. Same phone is expected to be released by at&t in the United States as LG emotions 4 G.

This is a world GSM device. Can be used with the at and t (3 G support 1900MHz band) and T-Mobile, United States (without 3 G).


Getting Started:

LG Optimus 3D, is expected to reach as LG emotion centers 4 G to at and t, to make the most of the other phones can do – anything without 3D glasses of 4.3-inch screen. But if you think 3D is just a trick, the handset will not markaroyme try to convince you otherwise, as the feature is implemented very unobtrusive, so you can easily use the phone without the. Dual-core chip TI OMAP4430 combined with dual-channel memory makes 3D Optimus one way; phones, as we have seen so far. Throw in full HD video recording, 2D, and you can get the main points in the 3D Optimus. However, it is not quite perfect, as it can be a little too far for some and come with Android Froyo instead of Melopswmo.

Design:

LG Optimus 3D has an astronomical weight 5.93 ounces (168 grams), which you can feel immediately. It is not among the thinnest phones or 0.40 inches (11.9 mm) thick, but while it can be a downer for some makes the phone felt solid. 4.3-inch LCD screen with 480 x 800 pixel dominates the front and sets up a large part of the functionality of the handset. Jo is among the first 3D Parallax displays on a phone (the other is the HTC EVO 3D) that allow you to view 3D content glasses free of charge. In a good state of good Lee has 2D screen mode very good viewing angles, but a little disappointing to read in direct sunlight.

You can compare LG Optimus 3D with many other phones size visualization tool.

But how does it work without 3D glasses? Hold the button right when 3D is magic happens and the screen shows the nature of Parallax by feeding your eyes 3D images and videos, you can see without glasses. Basically Parallax means you have a fun addition to supply standard screen, to exclude part of the image for each eye, so you can see a slightly different variant of the same image in each eye. The Problem? Must be willing to sacrifice quality for which you want to see only half the horizontal resolution.


There is a basic prerequisite for all magic to work – you should consider immediately on the screen. Apart from the page, you can see only shades and don't get a sense of depth, meaning that only one person can enjoy the 3D viewer at a time. When they do, but shows a very realistic 3D image directly on the screen. Actually people see 3D Optimus was impressed by its functionality and have fun. While the initial reaction is very positive, but I must say that our eyes feel a little tired after two minutes. It all depends on personal preference, but if it is not an exact 3D things you after it is likely that you will find yourself playing with only occasional, and mostly use the screen in traditional 2D mode.

Take your eyes on the screen, you will notice that the 3D LG Optimus is actually made of plastic, but with a soft-touch coating on the back and a brushed metal-like front end doesn't feel plasticky, is good. Below the screen, there are four capacitive buttons, react quickly to the haptic feedback, while a earspeaker, a proximity sensor and the front of the camera above the display.

On the left, protected with lid and embedded in the body of Optimus 3D, microUSB and microHDMI-out port. On the opposite side there is a volume rocker and a nifty little button which toggles 3D 3D mode on or off. The top is the Central lock, a second microphone in the handset applications, when you record audio and video, and a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Finally, the phone looks great and solid, but very well structured. Colors a little dull contribution to further serious looks. If you do not remember that together with the thick profile of the device, you will be rewarded with a phone that is ready to serve you with agna functionality. LG Optimus 3D 360 degree view:

Samsung Galaxy S II preview

This is a global GSM phone. Can be used with the at and t and T-Mobile, United States (2 G).

Getting Started:

Samsung Galaxy s has raised in the Panel to an advanced Android phone in combination with powerful chipset with an innovative display technology. Sami sold to millions, and now the sequel – the Samsung Galaxy S II – a preview tour.

Samsung went dual-core chipset now increased screen size to 4.3, abofeteándome and the newer version 4.0 skin TouchWiz Android deprived. Also display technology has been upgraded to a newer version – Super AMOLED Plus, but it is sufficient for a worthy follow-up to one of the most successful Android phones? Dabble in our example lessons ...

Design:

Slim is people! You never have a line of slim dark chocolate Hershey before this started melting in your hand? It is exactly how forest Gump will describe the feeling, which is specified by the Samsung Galaxy s II. Crown of the thinnest smartphone is derived from this side of Japan for this year, and will be difficult to beat.

You can compare Samsung Galaxy s II with many other phones using our visualization tool size.

Monitor 3.7 "reminds one word-fantastic. Super AMOLED offers the best perceived decision Plus Super AMOLED on Galaxy S, since it uses a default matrix to form a picture with 50% more than the PenTile subpixels that are used in Galaxy p. decision remains the same 480 x 800 pixels-but the use of a normal RGB matrix, the text appears more in books and websites to s Galaxy II.


Plus the Super AMOLED display is also 18% lighter and thinner than the previous generation, which probably has one of the precursors to s Galaxy II sleek chassis. Samsung moves to a production-based laser to AMOLED displays the year, which will allow 300ppi + pixel densities, so we look forward to such higher resolutions.
Thanks to increased brightness and low-reflection coating display reads very well, better than the previous generation and can improve the intensity even more than the ceiling when you define your shots in the camera or watching movies video in Media playerDa there is a further actionis called the "outdoor projection, which is useful when it is sunny outside. The browser and the video player also has their own brightness sliders.
Samsung DNIe + edit user technology from the TV picture set to improve its image while you are watching in the media, similar to what Sony Ericsson together with Bravia engine Adaptable to some of the new Android handsets. Unlike mobile Bravia, but fired up automatically when you view the video or images, we also choose from the options list, how to adjust the screen, there are available three modes – dynamic, Standard, and movies-much like our Samsung tv in your home. Dynamic intensifies the colors and brightness, while the movie mode brings a more calmer atmosphere in the image, the film. In addition to the general perception in the video player, you can also specify color, warmth and adjust individual brightness level.
0.33 (8.49 Mm) Samsung Galaxy S example unit fighting leaves II with a completely different impression than the previous one – p. Galaxy design is still all-plastic, but the back cover has a textured surface that separates the Galaxy S II from the standard polished back. The edges of the etched 8MP camera is the only thing that sticks back an otherwise meaningless. We design all plastic, which is in order, when you come to appreciate this material, each time you hold a monster buzz with a 4.3 display, which makes huge handsets believe feathery.
Galaxy S II is very light for its size and weigh approximately the same as the first version, but the feeling in the hand is a large, strictly rectangular blocks. It is rather the height and width, but it is not very convenient to keep – the rounded forms of the original s the milky way is better than the chocolate bar is Galaxy S II, so there will be an adjustment period.

8MP camera have an LED flash, and this time the buzz accompanying audio recordings captured video stereo microphone, thanks to the duo, which also serves and noise-cancellation/refund of duties. We need stereo speakers such as on LG Optimus 2 X, for example, but we have another characteristic feat in the bottom-the microUSB port Doubles as a HDMI out-a. Known as the cradle of high definition Mobile (MHL), but more about this later. Samsung Galaxy S II-360 degree view:

Samsung Ch @ t 335 preview

Getting Started:

Samsung 335 Ch @ t, also known as the Samsung S3350 is a video portrait QWERTY handset designed with heavy texters in mind. You can find not only a BlackBerry-esque keyboard, but depending on your needs web phone comes with Wi-Fi on board. More important, however, is a very affordable handsets that ends up in the pockets of many, and perhaps even replace some berries. Currently, it runs for approximately $ 165 from the contract, but let us take a closer look at the design and functionality of 335, Ch @ t, before we rush to conclusions.

Design:

The first thing you notice when you hold Samsung Ch @ t 335 is how thin. Not be compared with the thinnest of mobile phones (not secure), but I think only right at your fingertips. The casing is plastic, of course, but it is not a surprise that price. Don't worry about accidental release the phone back cover has a separate dotted pattern, which contribute to a secure handle. To add this feeling, your phone's back a little to the rounded a more natural palm matching.

You can compare Samsung Ch @ t 335 with many other phones using our visualization tool size.

In a world with large monitors can 2.4-inch TFT display with a medium resolution 320 x 240 is not even making it into a small unit, but also your needs for basic phone/text Mobile works like a charm. When it comes to see angles, screen TFT pretty average. Touch is not sensitive, but navigation is liquid due to optical trackpad. This has been our contact with great accuracy, and when you throw in the easily adjustable sensitivity, you will get a very functional navigation. And hey, an optical trackpad means that you can operate your phone even with gloves on, in contrast to all the fun capacitive phones out there, and this is something you will learn to understand, if you live in the northern regions.


But all these seem like less concern in the light of the beautiful BlackBerry-esque full QWERTY keyboard. There are no other words to describe the keys that mimic well-known sharp style you may have seen on a rim device. The keys are also tilted to the left of the left half of the keyboard on the right side, extending toward the right, makes it very easy to write. Samsung Ch @ t 335 is, however, slightly narrower than your usual BlackBerry bold, which means that the keys are small and. If your hands on the large page, you can check by typing experience even before you receive it as this could be a problem.
Finally, at the top, there is a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack and microUSB slot is protected by a cover for charging/sync the handset. Right to rocker is very practical and separate volume. Back home a humble 2-megapixel camera and the speakerphone. POP open the back to add your own microSD storage card. This is easier said than, and after a couple of card swaps wanted a hot swappable microSD. 1000MAh battery is replaceable, as well as.

altek Leo preview

This is a global GSM phone. Can be used with T-Mobile, United States and at and t, but without 3 G.

Introduction and design:

The first Android phone from Altek, one of the largest OEM/camera makers (ODM) for companies such as HP, Kodak, Olympus, and is expected of a camera phone. And we want to use the word with its literal meaning-altek Leo reminds us more than a small point-and-shoot camera, instead of a smartphone.

Nevertheless, it is exactly Leo-your mobile phone running Android, who happen to have a 14MP Auto focus camera with Flash light of-assist, Xenon flash and 3 x optical zoom lens. During a preview of our first impression from the original design was that it is quite thick for the modern smartphone templates in 0.25 "(15.5 mm), but not heavy in 4.94 oz (140 g).


Thickness is, of course, is mainly due to the optical zoom lens mechanism above 14MP sensor. It is every time the camera or video camera apps starts, or when you press the dedicated camera button on the right side of the phone (or I should say at the top of the camera). There are also you can find key shutter speed, optical zoom wheel and the volume rocker. Top hosts button, and power/lock underneath microUSB port is (or should we say left and right side of the camera, we are confused now). The phone's pages, covered with a silver plastic band.

You can compare altek Leo with many other phones using our visualization tool size. Show Leo altek is a touchscreen capacitive 3.2 "with the generous size 480 x 800 pixels resolution, which makes the image look very sharp. It is also above average brightness, which is useful when you are designing your images.

Under the screen is four navigation buttons physical Android travel itinerary in a row, and that it is easy to find and press the key. Side of the screen is glossy black plastic, while the page is still plastic, but Matt brushed metal appearance and with it also serves as a battery cover.

In the main proceedings, however, is in progress on the back, where we have a great camera module and the adjacent Xenon flash, spans more than one-third of the space, advice for gallantry photograph of phone.

LG black of Optimus preview

This is a global GSM phone. Can be used with T-Mobile, United States and at and t, but without 3 G.

Introduction and design:

We heard about the black Optimus LG for the first time in December last year. It was the code name LG (B) at the time, and the spec sheet leaked screen brightness – 700 underlined nits, which is the most ever in a smartphone.

It was also compared with the iPhone, which at the time was the thinnest smartphone on the market and found to be even thinner. Under Show, CES 2011 LG finally revealed over the phone gives this name black Optimus LG and Show NOVA also baptized screen – technology.


Now we have a extremely thin and prototype this Ultralight Android phone which LG claims to be the clearest screen laptop out there. It is worth hype, taking into account the screen Reflectance is less important for visibility in direct sunlight as the brightness?  United States can't really demonstrate the authenticity of this, taking into account what we have is a non-final version, but our first impressions read on ...

You can compare the black Optimus LG with many other phones using our visualization tool size.

The first thing you notice about the black LG Optimus how thin and light is amusingly – 3.84 ounces (105 grams) of weight 0.48 "(9.2 mm) thicker, constitute a real line also takes into account will boast a generous 4 Show ...

What is even more remarkable is, LG has managed to reach this profile with an LCD, since then, the Super AMOLED technology, which allegedly makes for thinner screen sections. 4 IPS-LCD display with 480 x 800 pixels resolution on Optimus LG black is another top of LG portable LCD skill.

Able to generate an IPS LCD for iPhone 4 500 nits brightness and wide viewing angles, LG saved a little magic for its own advancement of Optimus black screen brightness 700 nits. Not only that, but it actually draws zero Watts when show black, like the view, therefore the name AMOLED LG Optimus probably black. How LG has a mystery for us, but this is the table says "compare". Can not the color of the phone, because it offered also with white and pink back covers and designer covers on their way.


As we have seen, tapered battery lid, cut only the opening of the 5MP camera with LED Flash, along the left and right side, gives a black Optimus search prismatic damage from the back, and makes it more comfortable to hold.

Below, there are four capacitive screen NOVA Android buttons, animal cages successively in purple when the phone boots, just joy. Even the original unit, which had been in contact. The same goes for the rest of the buttons in addition to the Slim Jim-button volume rocker and "G" to the left and the power button/Lock to the top it and the standard connectors.

"G" is another way to navigate around the browser and the collection of tilt your phone keeps a scroll and zoom plus by pressing, if desired, or if you just eat chicken wings from in bucketog you will not be able to create a polished Show NOVA. Everything is innovative due to sensor 9-axis movement, LG calls ... You guessed it. .. G-sensor. It will be interesting to see how many additional control movements will be implemented at startup.

In short, the black Optimus LG is actually a thin and light eerily Android device, the brighter the screen, but in reality not be able to notice a difference over iPhone 4 droolworthy 500 nit appearance. Show NOVA does not lead us to achieve our shadows, where we are, but let us not forget that we are still some time away from a final production unit.

What could you for a device that serves plenty Melopswmo to a more affordable price than the flagship to see Xperia, the arc?

Sony Ericsson Xperia neo sample-introduction:

Design:

Unlike the arc where Sony Xperia took a new approach to design with a sleek body and a curved inwards, the new Xperia looks like Sony Ericsson signature, very reminiscent of the Vivaz with rounded shapes and several volumes (0.86 inches in thickness), which contributes over weight 4.44 ounces (126 grams). No wonder why the new Xperia was the code name Vivaz 2/Hallon before the official reveal! Plastic back of the phone may not be as durable as a metal one, but it helps to keep the handset is not too heavy and graceful curves and gradients at the rear to fit well with the overall planning.

The front holds a gorgeous 3.7-inch LCD monitor with improved visual effects Technology Mobile Sony BRAVIA Engine, your phone may come directly from Sony HD tv. What you do is to adjust the sharpness and contrast, so that the images appear cooler stronger and simple, but it is only a trick software, you can turn off from the settings menu If some reason you prefer the normal image quality. The decision is near the de facto standard for high-end Androids at 480 x 854 pixels a little from the Apple iPhone, 4 640 x 960, but still provides a large amount of detail.

Just above the screen is a 0.3 megapixel front VGA camera, perfect for video calls. Neatly arranged in proximity and ambient light sensors page is. Under the screen, you can find three physical buttons that are easy to press and a welcome addition, as I can work continuously without having to observe what your pressing as often happens with capacitive buttons.


All the left handside of the new Xperia is beautiful plain. One could imagine that this has to do with the phone's photographic subject and the fact that you can balance on the left handside when you retrieve pictures landscape, but this is only a guess. The right side contains the lock button, volume rocker and a dedicated camera shutter speed key. Camera shutter speed functions take as you normally in two steps – first press a little focus and then push further to the image. Its presence underlines the particular ambitions in the new Xperia camera.

Nokia E7 Preview

This is a global GSM phone. Can be used with T-Mobile and AT&T. United States

Getting Started:

Again find themselves in a known location, which seems to be the norm for a long time now, Nokia looks to rebound on the mobile market with few upcoming feverishly models, which we hope will encourage some companies way. More recently, still is rather difficult to say specifically whether or not flexible Nokia N8 has wow factor necessary to attract some attention to this market is already cut throat. However, they are trying to focus now on corporate enterprises with modern salad for once beloved Nokia Communicator series with E7. While most of the wonderful features and design cues from the Nokia N8, may just have the E7 perfect mixture of ingredients, with STRANGE looking keyboard, to examine the same as the next big smartphone from Nokia's camp.

Design:

Granted, that we control from a simple prototype of the Nokia E7, we are taken by surprise by the stunning technique oozes from head to toe, with particular attention to details. Specifically, it is mainly a larger and wider version of the Nokia N8, but manages to pack in a landscape to Anodized aluminium casing thin 0,38 ". Just noticed this in hand, there is this sense of the adjacent that occurs because it is built thoroughly good around; not to mention durable against normal wear and tear. However, there are still a noticeable weight (6.21 oz), which holds around – and we will argue that a fall from a height long still negative can destroy pristine exterior. Nokia E7 is, however, an excellent smartphone designed to show the kind of talent that Nokia part design.

You can compare Nokia E7 to many other phones, using our visualisation tool size.

What is impressive about the Nokia-smartphones E7 over others is that it aggregates with a plentiful 4 "AMOLED clear black display with resolution nHD (360 x 640) and support for 16.7 million colors. In addition to property, our large fingers find more than enough at this point, we adore how AMOLED table is able to display some subtle and deep colors – even a small overall blue hue. And although this could not be claimed in the same room as other handsets with higher resolution displays, this does not reduce in particular remains detectable visualizations. With this prototype we saw, however, some responsiveness and accuracy problems in registering our touch – which could have contributed to early build software with the handset. Finally, fingerprints and smudges, a problem for the E7 desktop, because they become caked and requires certain abrasives, polishing with a soft cloth to remove. We hope that most of these issues will be provided care to final drive.

Below the screen, there is a single rectangular small home button also acts as a notification system will pulsate when lit or receive calls and text messages.


On the left side we find nothing but a lock switch, while volume switch, Iris key and slot for SIM card are all located on the right side of the phone. For the most part, we do not have any problems feel either volume and lock switches, but you'll probably be glad to see a kind of cover for the SIM slot.

Take a quick glance at the flat at the top of the handset, we find the button headphone jack 3.5 mm exclusive power supply perched on the usual spots. Although there is flush with the surface, allow the power button size us to press down without much falter. And next to it, there is a plastic flab, covering both microUSB and mini-HDMI ports.


On the back, you are welcome to håndsættets 8-megapixel camera and dual LED flash. In the first instance may be some content with great ability, but knowing that this is nothing more than a fixed focus camera, the other can be prevented. Then again E7 is classifies as a device oriented companies unlike the camera host-centric Nokia N8. And to the bottom of the rear we find a single location for the phone's speaker.
Not forgotten, there is also a camera that precedes found next to the handset earpiece — along with a light and proximity sensors closes.
Without hesitant, natural instinct we instructed us to open the handset just like any other device used with a keyboard style landscape. But when we began to use the normal fluid routine with us, we have met with the thumb into nothing more than a surprising opposition. In reality, you need to push on and down in the handset to get the engine to turn on and expose the keyboard. This can of course be given to the original character of the device. When adapted, we have the mechanism to be highly satisfactory, as it clicks instead of a fixed rate and an appearance at an angle.
We find for the keyboard itself satisfyingly pleasant to use, while remaining elegant chic chicklet style buttons. Medium size, we have too many problems with to get a feel for the buttons a little a toilet is flushed, but still provide a reasonable amount of comments without a lot of force required to press them in General below. we quickly got a handle on the layout and found us quickly write messages with steady pace without many potential pitfalls along the way.
For a prototype, we were amazed at this stunning beauty, Nokia has been crafted with E7 like epitomizes everything that you receive a smartphone found high class. From solid construction sturdy choice of materials sign Nokia E7 immediately the hearts and minds of consumers around. In addition, just goes to show the kind of intelligence and talents, which can occur in a heart beat to a company that is at a crossroads.

Huawei IDEOS X 5 Preview

This is a global GSM phone. Can be used with T-Mobile and AT&T United States, but without 3 G.

Getting started: Overshadowed somewhat by the amount of communications handsets big name during CES, Huawei IDEOS X 5 quietly arrived in the region with medium specs in tow. Although we had some brief hands-on time with the upcoming smartphone Android 2.2 Froyo exhibition we get some close a on released once with a prototype which would not be what we all expect a time official of one of the major airlines in the United States. And just because it has no identifying marks competitors, IDEOS X 5 can open doors to Huawei apparently violating the US market. However, it may take more than a well rounded performance and decent specs leave brand among consumers.

Design:

Collection quickly handset prototype, there is nothing overly compelling about this, let us assume it is something new and refreshing. In reality, follows the tradition of any other slate-like on the market, but surprising to a quality feel. Specifically, trim bezel chrome accents of course rear soft touch cover – of course, who maintains it looking clean and free of scratches. In addition, the size of the ample actually do not feel regulation compared with packing slips units and up to 4 "monitors. In the whole, we are very satisfied with the quality of construction, Huawei IDEOS X 5 separates easily from the manufacturer's previous attempts with T-Mobile Comet found.

You can compare Huawei IDEOS X 5 with many other phones, using our visualisation tool size.

In recent memory, packing units in monitors with resolution WVGA were generally as a high-end, but we are beginning to see it become more accustomed to – so that changing patterns in the mid-range segment. And this is what we are treated with screen WVGA (480 x 800) 3,8 "Huawei IDEOS X 5 brings forward some clear and crisp visuals, who fortunately plays to äçìéïõñãÞèçêå variants. The screen is also able to demonstrate some neutral stylish colors.

After the transfer is situated with its layout, space capacitive buttons at the bottom of the screen enough between them and the bottom of the handset in order to reduce accidental presses. In addition, the minimum levels of taxation back-lighting allows us to see them in all situations.


In the physical buttons is that relatively few clinging to the sides of the handset. find a reasonable size volume rocker on the left edge and a dedicated power button at the top. Furthermore, IDEOS X 5 can boast of the traditional 3.5 mm headphone jack and microUSB port, we are accustomed to see the most smartphones.
The back, 5-megapixel camera Autofocus juts from the surrounding area and is cause for concern, because the lens is in direct contact with any surface, you can place the receiver on. We also find two PART flash and speakerphone Grill is located to the right of the camera. Creep without back coverage provides access to the SIM card slot, microSD card slot and battery – the latter which is the bottom.
Overall, it would be unlikely to find Huawei IDEOS X 5 there are some changes to the active design possible production unit – derogation for operator branding will fundamentalist. Ground break by any means? Certainly not, but it is a sharp contrast to the undesirable appearance of their earlier experiments in the United States with T-Mobile Comet, it will say that ... Yes, we like it. Huawei IDEOS X 5 360 degree view:

Sony Ericsson Xperia arc Preview

This is a global GSM phone. Can be used with T-Mobile and AT&T United States, but without 3 G.

Getting Started:

After the disappointment that was the Xperia X 10 and Sony Ericsson have a new product, which could put the company out there, when it comes to high-end smartphones. Introduced officially at CES 2011, Sony Ericsson Xperia arc represents the next big thing in the line-up of the manufacturer.

Sony Ericsson seems to be learning from mistakes, such as handset comes not only with amazing design and material, but end up with the latest version of Android – 2.3 Melopswmo – right out of the box. In fact, the handset has a unique shape, thanks to the thinnest smartphone on top section thus moniker "arc". These prizes will be enough to repair the broken heart of Sony Ericsson fans worldwide? Read about our Preview to find out ...

Design:

We mentioned this thing is thin? We did, and we cannot take their eyes away from the outside of the arc of the Sony Ericsson Xperia. It is just 1.71 ' (8,7 mm) thin in the Middle, which gradually converted into 0.90 "(10 mm) at both ends. The greatest ambition (pun intended) is to arm the company with the "thinnest" Punch line, and the result is beautiful.

We showed the handset to be beloved, how slick is, and even we seasoned veterans could not help but agree, this is the way to go with large screen handset. Size of screen huge 4.2 "is very uncomfortable in 0,48" thickness and lever profile makes it more comfortable to hold and manipulate.

You can compare Sony Ericsson Xperia arc with our many other phones use visualisation tool size.

4.2 "screen is Sony's Super black, LCD with 480 x 854 pixels resolution and a stated INDENT. Just before CES 2011 phones with this resolution targeting silver medal was finally only iPhone 4 retina appearance, but with the announcement of the qHD screens in some new phones from Motorola, Sony looks bronze here. What sets apart, however, that this is the first in Sony's BRAVIA Engine that uses the company's award-winning flat screen tv. Sony has come up with a new title by adding Mobile BRAVIA Engine in this type of display, – display marketing reality. What we do here is to rev up contrast and sharpness, when viewing photos or video playback.

We can certify that there is a difference, even if it is not important, for example as subdued as one among the Super AMOLED screen technology, Super LCD. We prefer worse colors Super AMOLED. The appearance of our prototype unit was quite bright for comfortable operation this obvious, as all fine and dandy, but angles of view is very poor. Contrast and color degradation when turning a corner is almost identical to the older generation of LCD monitors and away from those displayed retina view or NOVA LG Optimus black, by means of IPS LCD technology. Still, it is part of the screen you will see at least some review, and when they looked straight, screen delivers more saturated colors than the appearance of the retina.

Below the screen, there are three thin Android navigation buttons – at home and menus, forming an arc (why). Is similar to what we have on other phones on the Xperia, and is illuminated with white LED lighting. The three keys are a nice relaxed feeling when pressed, instead of the annoying Clicks, and it is very easy to operate even in the default device.


We had a "blue light", which is so dark that looks almost black, if it were not nice gradient in the back cover. There is also a version "Afonso Silver", which looks even more impressive. Is it the whole design quality plastic, which some sniff at, but with a display, 4.2 "we would rather keep the weight under control than asking for metallic elements, which will make your phone bulky and more cumbersome command (cough, cough, HD HTC desire). Watches arc Sony Ericsson Xperia at 4.12 oz (117grams), which is slightly less than the Samsung Galaxy S, but this here is a shooter 8MP with INDENT flash that has sport any Galaxy flash section, and has a slightly smaller screen.

The sensor camera is placed in the room only engineering team could match, considering thickness 1.71 "Middle East near the upper edge of the back-so be careful not to place your finger over the lens when shooting. Combine this with the rather smallish and a bit difficult to press the shutter button on the right near the bottom edge, and you must hold the phone with both hands while you download an image, unless you use the touchscreen. This is not a bad thing, since they are holders of such a light phone fixed is crucial to achieve crisp snap.


Another design element that classes up the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc is satin chromed band around, complete with the rest of the buttons and exposures – volume rocker and microUSB port to starboard, 3.5 mm audio jack at the top left and cover of port microHDMI and the power button/lock from the top.

Press the power/Lock at the top is where you would love to see the changes in the final device. This slightly protruding makes it easier to find, but it is still the size of confetti, so only check what it is, you have overtaken with the fingers on top until you find, and then press time. The best solution would be to move the screen lock on the pages.


An ambient light sensor or camera-facing front resigned our device prototype, but there is a selected rather than up front and Sony Ericsson said lately is the ambient light sensor, so no front cam for us-which was, of course, go into such a slim design. Nevertheless ask Sony Ericsson Xperia arc is such a looker, that we are prepared to resign a lot more noise than the lack of a video front. Sony Ericsson Xperia arc 360 degree view:

Sony Ericsson xperia X 10 mini Preview

Now the market is not effectively-style-full of small Android phones.
