Overview of the HTC Desire S

January 22nd, 2012 | Google Android, HTC, Mobile Phones

The Desire S, the latest HTC model, comes after both the Desire and the Desire HD.  This smartphone was released for sale at the beginning of 2011 in Britain.  It has taken the Desire, the most successful Android smartphone to date, and improved on all its aspects while retaining its basic design, which you will soon find out from this HTC Desire S review.

Getting online is now simple and straightforward, with fast access of around 14.4Mbps when there is a good 3G internet access.  There are two cameras included, with the highest spec camera having five megapixels and able to produce true HD Video at 720p.  It has a highly intuitive touch-screen interface with the latest HTC Sense, 2.1, on top of the latest Android platform, Gingerbread.  This allows for excellent online browsing, with the great touch zoom feature.  It also comes with all the expected features, such as a GPS, music player and radio.

However, against the growing trend for having dual-core processors, the HTC Desire S just has a single processor, though it is a powerful one GHz Qualcomm processor.  The basic memory is just 1.1GB and there is also 768MB of Ram that can be upgraded using a Micro SD card.  Battery life is significantly improved over the Desire, essential nowadays for high usage on the internet.  The sleek body, which is just 1.16cm, has a 3.7 inch screen measured diagonally.

The Desire S looks great and comes with some superb features.  The market for high-end smartphones is more crowded than when the original Desire came out, so the Desire S no longer can claim to be the best.  However, compared to some of its rivals it is more compact and costs less, so is worthwhile considering.  Due to demand for this phone there are some great HTC Desire S deals around at the moment.

Overview of Samsung Mobile Phones

January 19th, 2012 | Mobile Phones, Samsung

Samsung has been extremely successful in recent times with its mobile phone division, and now is the second biggest company in this market sector.  They have achieved this by focusing on two core aspects.  These are being at the cutting edge of mobile phone technology and also producing unique, distinctive designs for their mobiles.  Their decision to embrace the Android OS in their smartphones has also proved to be a very smart.  This has enabled the Galaxy line of mobiles to be successful all over the world.  Considering they only started in this market sector in 1991, their rise to prominence has been very rapid. 

The Samsung Galaxy Ace is a solid, mid-range smartphone.  It has an 800 MHz processor and a reasonable 3.5-inch touchscreen.  The resolution is only 320 by 480 pixels that does not compare to the latest smartphones, but it is considerably cheaper.  It has a GPS with Google Maps, so makes a great satnav device.  Its web browser is fast and it has all the connectivity you need, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and HSDPA.

The Galaxy S2 has taken its place in the long list of successful Samsung mobiles.  The design of the mobile has resulted in one of the slimmest models available, with it only being 8.49mm.  They made the decision to put a dual-core processor in order to stand out from their competitors.  The touchscreen is a sizeable 4.3 inches.  Combined with the latest Super AMOLED tech, it results in a crystal clear display of text and images.  The camera is well spec’d, coming in at eight megapixels.  It is also capable of recording full HD video clips.

The Samsung Galaxy Mini is a compact smartphone that complements the current range of Samsung mobile phones.  It is not really small though, with the screen measuring 3.14 inches, but the price is good for this budget smartphone.

All About BlackBerry

December 27th, 2011 | Blackberry

REM’s BlackBerry has become a very popular name in the mobile phone industry. While it is a brand name, many people simply refer to a Smartphone device as a Blackberry. Even though these phones have been around for a while, there are still many mobile phone users who ask, what is a Blackberry and how does it work? These handheld wireless devices offer users easy access to email, calendars and mobile organisers. Blackberries differ from PDAs because they offer a full alphanumeric keyboard.

This device was primarily designed for sending and retrieving email through a mobile phone. Since their introduction, Blackberry devices have become more advanced. They now offer the ability to run various applications, perform internet downloads, act as a web browser and much more. A Blackberry may sound like a mini PC, but it is quite different. While users will have the ability to store email messages, the device will not store documents.

Social networking and messaging became much easier with the introduction of this device. Users are also able to use the efficient installed camera to shoot and upload photos and other multimedia files. New Blackberry models also have a built-in GPS that allows for geographical tracking.

Even though this mobile device was originally created to manage email, Blackberries now offer so much more. They are an all-in-one mobile phone that allows for instant organisation, constant email connection and web browsing.

LG Optimus 2X – a Great Deal if you’re willing to adapt it

December 16th, 2011 | Android, Google Android, LG, Mobile Phones

The LG Optimus 2X holds the Guinness Book of Records recognition for being the first dual-core smartphone.  It was initially criticized by reviewers for having poor system software with no official update to Android 2.3 being available for a long time.

However, the advantage of Android is that it allows complete control over the device.  A simple Google search will find instructions on how to root your Optimus 2X and enable you to install an unofficial Gingerbread ROM which will drastically improve the phone’s performance, with an increase in battery life being especially noticeable. With one of the many custom Gingerbread ROMs available online, the Optimus 2X will be able to take you through a full day’s use without a problem, even with heavy use.

These simple procedures will unlock the true power of the dual core processor. The best part is that it is all legal because Android is open source, which means that anyone can modify and redistribute it free of charge.
