Apple iPad mini Wi-Fi + Cellular

Apple iPad mini Wi-Fi + Cellular

The iPad mini is probably the worse-kept tech secret of the year. The device has been subjected to much speculation over the past two years and the rumors got most of it right when the 7.9-inch slate was finally unveiled in October. Apple's response to the affordable 7-inch Android tablets that have carved a niche in the small tablet category is predictable. The iPad mini is a premium device that attempts to differentiate on design and build quality. At US$329 for the cheapest Wi-Fi-only model, it's hardly in the same price bracket as rivals which start from US$199. Underneath its sleek chassis, the hardware on the mini is identical to the iPad 2. It's slightly over a year since the iPad 2 was launched, but we have already seen two newer iterations. The rapid pace of the improvements on Apple's flagship tablet may create an impression that the iPad mini is outdated. It certainly feels slower in more intensive apps, but we had no complaints while navigating the interface and using basic apps such as the Web browser. Instead, it's the lack of a Retina display on the iPad mini that is probably its biggest drawback. After the excellent display on the iPad, it's difficult for us to go back to the lower-resolution screen on the mini. Even its cheaper Android competitors now have screens that more than match the iPad mini's. If you don't have a tablet, the iPad mini is an expensive habit to get into. Besides the cost of the device, you'll probably end up spending more on iOS apps compared with other platforms. However, the iPad mini looks good and offers users an LTE option, which isn't always available on cheaper alternatives. As usual, Apple charges a heavy fee to upgrade the amount of internal storage--going from the base 16GB model to the 64GB version that we reviewed here would incur an additional US$200. That's sufficient to buy a 7-inch Android tablet from Amazon or Google. We believe that's more than enough incentive for the average consumers to stick with the 16GB version and simply manage their storage more efficiently. Is the iPad mini the best 7-ish-inch tablet that you can buy now? We don't think so, but it's without a doubt, the best-looking one. Design A tablet is typically rectangular with a screen bordered by a wide bezel. Ever since the first iPad relaunched the tablet segment, this has been the standard look for slates. The back of the tablet and the materials used in its construction may vary across manufacturers, but from the front, they looked mostly similar. In fact, they didn't appear all that different from digital photo frames. Which makes the design of the iPad mini such a pleasant surprise. For one, the side bezel has been reduced significantly, making the 9.7-inch iPad appear chunky in comparison. With such a thin bezel, it would seem difficult to hold the tablet. Except that it isn't: A new feature in iOS 6 includes finger rejection, which differentiates between gripping the screen with your finger, and actually using it. It means that you can hold onto the iPad mini with one finger touching the screen and yet be able to use the touchscreen normally with another finger. While this feature seems to be designed specially for the iPad mini, it's also present on other Apple devices with the latest version of iOS.

Nokia Asha 210 Colorful QWERTY

Nokia Asha 210

The last time we saw new members of the Asha family they eschewed the usual QWERTY keyboard, opting instead for a full touchscreen. The newly announced (and previously teased) Asha 210, however, returns to the more tactile input method, and brings a healthy splash of color (five different ones, to be precise) plus a dual-SIM option along for the ride. As before, social networks feature heavily, but the focus clearly remains on low-end and developing markets. We know Nokia can do budget (and do it well), but is a full keyboard, a design update, and a dedicated WhatsApp button (all costing $72 SIM-free, excluding taxes when it lands late Q2) enough to make it appeal to anyone beyond the entry-level social addicts? Nokia was kind enough to show us the devices first hand, so head on past the break to see if we thought so. Nokia Asha 210 hands-on See all photos 31 Photos The first thing you notice here is the design language. As with the budget 105 and 301 offerings from MWC, the Asha 210 owes a lot of its looks to the current flagships, with more than a whiff of Lumia about them. This influence also spills over into the color options, which include the usual cyan, magenta, yellow and black plus white. We have to say that for a phone at this price point, it really isn't bad looking. The finish is soft-touch plastic, and while it's not one piece of polycarbonate, Nokia's at least gone to some efforts to make it look slightly similar, and we're happy to play along. The casing is designed to appear as seamless as possible, and the phone looks all the better for it. As well as that dominating QWERTY, there are menu and navigation buttons above and below dedicated WhatsApp and camera keys. Nokia was very keen to play up the WhatsApp integration which not only provides quick access to chats, but includes use of the service for free, for life (i.e. no annual fee). Nokia announces Asha 210 a colorful QWERTY with a social heart, we go handson video A slight twist here is that in some markets, the Asha 210 will actually have a dedicated Facebook button instead (as we saw with the Asha 205). We've asked for confirmation on which markets will have which, but we understand that broadly speaking the EU and USA will likely come with blue stripes, while the others should get green. We also asked if this button might be configurable, but it appears not. Whichever social network flag you fly, it still won't take you very long to get there, as the Series 40 software it runs on has been set up to put them all front and center on the homescreen anyway, with WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter coming pre-installed. While we're on software, as before there's a "premium" download pack of 15 apps and games on offer after purchase, full details of titles to follow. As for the rest of the hardware, it's something of a mixed bag. The main thing to note is that we're still running on 2G, so no 3G / HSPA to ease the deluge of all those tweets and messages you're expecting. But, there is WiFi to ease some of that pain. The rear (and only) camera is 2-megapixels, which is quite a jump up from the 205's meagre VGA shooter, and should make good use of that dedicated button. The lack of a front-facing camera might initially turn the confirmed socialite a little sour, but don't worry, you can still take those all important "selfies" with the clever self-portrait mode that we also saw in the 301 (the one that says "left a bit, right a bit"). Nokia played down our requests about what was running under the hood, and while it's always nice to know, at this price-point RAM and processor speeds are likely not the buyer's primary concern. We do know, however, it's lingering somewhere under the 1GHz mark. Nokia announces Asha 210 a colorful QWERTY with a social heart, we go handson video The software, it has to be said, does feel noticeably slow if you've ever played with a modern smartphone. Pressing the WhatsApp key took a second or two for the app to open, and generally navigating with the buttons (no touchscreen here) will test your patience unless this is the most premium phone you've ever had -- something that might actually be the case for much of its market. However, this may improve between now and when it finally hits the stores nearer to summer. On the upside, Nokia claims that you'll get 12 hours of talk, and over 40 in standby (under optimum, lab conditions) to give you plenty of time to do everything. Overall though, in the hand the phone feels light, yet solid. The bright color design is attractive and the keys all have a firm, responsive action, though perhaps a little clustered for those with larger digits. Most of all, at $72 (for both the single- and dual-SIM version), it's feels mean to pick fault with some of the Asha 210's features. The design is great for this price, the social features will please many, and there's just about everything you might need for photos and sharing. The UI may feel a little sluggish, and the continued lack of 3G will write it off completely for many, but for mobile users starting at the lower rungs, who want a well built phone with core functionality, Nokia's made a very reasonable proposition.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3

The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 truly deserves its name for its among the largest handsets to ever see the light of day. With its 6.3-inch display panel, it overshadows even behemoths like the Samsung Galaxy Note II, LG Optimus G Pro, and the likes. Yet under its hood beats the heart of a mid-range device. Its screen, despite its massive proportions, has an okay resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels. And no, it isn't of the AMOLED kind – we're dealing with an LCD panel here. Providing processing power is a dual-core 1.7GHz processor of make and model that are yet to be announced. The chip is paired with note one, not two, not three, but... 1.5GB of RAM for smooth multitasking performance. With an 8-megapixel camera on its back, the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 should be a decent snapper given the right circumstances, while that 1.9MP front-facing cam will come in handy when you're in the mood for a video chat. There's also 8 or 16 gigs of on-board storage, which can be expanded with the use of a microSD card. A cool perk that you won't see on many smartphones is the IR blaster, which allows one to control TVs and other electronics straight from their Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3. There's also support for LTE network connectivity at up to 100Mbps on the downlink. All of that, including the phone's massive 3,200mAh battery, is enclosed in a body that's only 8 millimeters thick. The device, however, is quite heavy tipping the scales at 199 grams. Andorid 4.2 Jelly Bean - the most recent version of the platform, will come loaded on the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 out of the box.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8

Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8

It may not be as large as the Galaxy Mega 6.3 but Samsung's Galaxy Mega 5.8 is still a big smartphone. Announced at the same time as its larger brother, the Galaxy Mega 5.8 gets a downgrade in specifications as well as screen size. See also: Group test: What's the best Android smartphone? The Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 is basically a smaller Galaxy Mega 6.3 in every way, from screen size, to key specifications and most likely, price. Small isn't the best word to use, though, as the Galaxy Mega 5.8 still weighs a hefty 182g. It's dwarfed by the Galaxy Mega 6.3 and Huawei's Ascend Mate but is larger than the Galaxy Note II. In other words, it's a huge phone. Take a look at Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Galaxy S3 comparison review. Predictably, the Galaxy Mega 5.8 is constructed from Samsung's very familiar glossy plastic. Despite being smaller than the Galaxy Mega 6.3, the Mega 5.8 is slightly thicker — 9mm compared to 8mm. Take a look at Group test: what's the best smartphone? The Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8's TFT screen only has a qHD resolution of 540x960, which gives it a pixel density of 190ppi. This is significantly less than all current flagship Android phones, which have full HD 1080p screens, and even many mid-range handsets which tend to use a 720p resolution. The lower screen resolution means you'll clearly be able to distinguish individual pixels on the Galaxy Mega 5.8 and finer details like text won't be as crisp or clear as many other smartphones. The screen isn't the only place where Samsung has made some sacrifices. Compared to the Galaxy Mega 6.3, the Galaxy Mega 5.8 has a slower, dual core processor (1.4GHz compared to 1.7GHz), just 8GB of internal memory and a 2600mAh removable battery. There's also no 4G model of the Galaxy Mega 5.8. Thankfully, the phone does have a a microSD card slot to expand the 8GB of internal memory and the camera remains the same as its bigger brother. There's an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera for still photos and full HD video recording and a 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera for video calls. The Galaxy Mega 5.8 has an 8-megapixel rear facing camera that records full HD video. The Galaxy Mega 5.8 has the same software as the Galaxy Mega 6.3. It runs the latest version of Android, 4.2 Jelly Bean, but is skinned with Samsung's TouchWIZ user interface. Features include 'Air View', which enables users to hover their finger over the screen to preview selected information on the phone, such as a video thumbnail, a calendar entry, or a photo gallery, an S Translator app that can translate nine different languages using both text to speech and speech to text, and 'Group Play' which can send music photos and documents to multiple devices on the same Wi-Fi network. There's also Samsung WatchON which uses an Infrared port on the Galaxy Mega 5.8 to act as a remote control, a split screen feature that can run two apps at a time on the screen, and an S Travel app. The Galaxy Mega 5.8 is 9mm thick. The Galaxy Mega 5.8 is 9mm thick. The Galaxy Mega 5.8 has a number of camera software features including 'Drama Shot', which takes 100 shots in four seconds, "Sound & Shot' which takes a picture and captures up to nine seconds of audio, and 'Story Album' which groups photos together somewhat like a timeline. The Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 will be available globally from May and will be initially be released in Europe and Russia.

HTC Desire HD

HTC Desire HD

The HTC Desire HD (codenamed: "HTC Ace") is an Android smartphone by HTC Corporation. It was unveiled at a press event in London hosted by HTC on September 15, 2010,[3] and was made available for sale in October in Europe and in January 2011 in Canada. The Desire was HTC's flagship device in most markets until the release of their new line of flagship models, the HTC Sensation and the HTC Evo 3D. Contents 1 Hardware 2 Software 3 Variants 4 Reception 4.1 Sales 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Hardware The smartphone has an aluminium unibody design with Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) and HTC Sense installed. On the back, there are two plastic covers, one contains the battery, while the other contains the SIM card and the microSDHC card. It features a 4.3-inch gorilla glass WVGA TFT LCD capacitive touchscreen, 8 megapixel camera (can record 720p video) and support for HSPA/W-CDMA and quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE.[4] It is the first phone to use the new 1 GHz MSM8255 Scorpion CPU. This second generation Snapdragon processor uses a low-power 45-nm process technology for higher integration and efficiency, and the Adreno 205 more than doubles the performance of the Adreno 200 GPU. This allows for longer talk and standby times than the original HTC Desire even with a smaller capacity battery.[5] The HTC Desire HD has 768 MB RAM and 1.5 GB of internal flash memory data storage. There is also a single microSDHC slot, which can accept a microSDHC/XC card with a capacity of up to 32 GB of data storage. Software The HTC Desire HD incorporates Dolby Mobile, Sound Retrieval System WOW Surround Sound, DLNA, Adobe Flash 10.2, and DivX/Xvid video playback support, however, not many audio codecs are supported and apps have to be downloaded in order to support more formats. At launch, HTC unveiled the updated HTC Sense features, including a new web site that allows remote interaction with HTC Sense enabled handsets for backups, security features, and other handset interactions. For example, it can remotely lock and wipe the handset of all sensitive data, while the service also creates automatic backups of contacts, text messages, call history, customizations, etc. HTCSense.com will also send commands to the handset to set the ring volume to maximum volume even if it is on silent mode and give a location on a map. The new HTC Sense brings some enhanced multimedia abilities giving users more options to create and share content (including new photo and video effects). It also includes location-based maps, which can be pre-loaded or cached and thus delivered without download delays or incurring mobile roaming charges. Also included is a new e-book store and a dedicated e-reader with annotation, search and translation abilities. It also provides a social networking hub, known as Friendstream which allows users to monitor their Facebook, Twitter, as well as other social networks all in one page. Also, the new HTC Sense adds a new feature, Fastboot, which improves the HTC Desire HD's startup time, from more than 40 seconds to less than 5 seconds. Technically, the phone is placed in a low-power sleep mode when powered off and wakes up when started up. Because of this fact, if the battery is removed and reinserted, the phone takes about a minute to boot. The HTC Desire HD has received a new software update in December 2010, the Android 2.2.1 version 1.72.405.3 which brings various improvements and some bug fixes.[6] As of January 2011 the 2.2.1 v 1.72.405.3 software update was pulled due to issues with the HTC Sense overlay.[7] During May 2011 in Western Europe, an over the air update updated unlocked, unbranded Desire HDs to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread and HTC Sense 2.1. On June 12 in Australia, an over the air update was available for unbranded Desire HDs taking them to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread with HTC Sense 2.1. On July 2011, HTC announced via Facebook that it was testing Gingerbread for branded Desire HDs and HTC released the update at the end of July. With the Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Update, the Desire HD now has the ability to set Wi-Fi proxy settings which was not available previously with Android 2.2 Froyo and has Sense 2.1. In September 2011 it was reported that HTC plan to update the Desire HD to Android version 2.3.5,[8] which would provide, for example, voice and video calling with Google Talk. On December 16, 2011 in Europe, an over the air update updated unlocked, unbranded Desire HDs to Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread and HTC Sense 3.0. On February 9, 2012, HTC announced in their Facebook page stating that Desire HDs would be upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in late 2012.[9] This update was then cancelled on July 20, 2012, with HTC posting the following statement a week later to explain their position:

iPhone 6 specs release date news and rumours

iPhone 6

Our iPhone 6 release date, features and price rumours article is updated on a regular basis, so check back to keep up with the latest information. Updated on 23rd April 2013 with new information on production delays. If all of the rumours and speculation turn out to be true, it would appear that the next Apple smartphone will be an iPhone 5S, an update to the existing iPhone 5. All of the major changes are likely to come next year with the release of the iPhone 6. Regardless of names, there's plenty to suggest that Apple needs something brand new, as the iPhone 5 wasn't met with the same rapturous applause of the previous releases, both because of the hardware and the problems with Apple Maps. With the competition getting a lot tougher, such as with the Samsung Galaxy S4, it could mean that Apple needs to up its game with a brand new phone. iPHONE 6 RELEASE DATE Initial reports where that the iPhone 6 would be with us this spring, following an earlier release date of the iPhone 5S. However, recent doubt has been cast on this, with now 2014 seeming more likely for the latest smartphone. The main problem at the moment appears to be that the iPhone 5S is going to be delayed. Peter Misek, an analyst at Jeffries, recently visited Apple's Asian manufacturing partners to find out what was going on. While there he found an advisory note warning that the iPhone 5S was facing pre-production issues. The exact problems weren't detailed, but it appears as though there are problems perfecting the mass production process for the iPhone 5S. This will have a knock-on effect for other Apple products. So, a delay in the iPhone 5S also means that the iPhone 6 will be delayed, with Misek now saying that there's no chance of seeing the new smartphone until 2014. That's something that analyst Glen Yeung agrees with, as reported on Newsday. According to Yeung, the iPhone 5S is going to suffer from "volume production issues". This is likely to have a knock-on effect with other Apple products, including the iPhone 6. There have also been other rumours about key Foxconn staff leaving, causing the problem. According to reports, important members of staff have left, which could be one of the reasons for a delay. However, we don't buy this at all. Foxconn's a massive company that simply can't afford to create manufacturing delays because a couple of members of staff have left. Apple simply wouldn't tolerate this kind of problem, either. We can believe that technology problems and supply chain issue can cause delays, but we're not entirely sure that Apple can afford these problems and it appears to be doing everything it can to make sure that production goes ahead. Recent reports have shown that Foxconn has been taking on 10,000 production workers per week since the last week of March in order to meet orders. iPHONE 6 SCREEN Apple has always been known for its high quality screens and it's going to be interesting to see what it can do with the iPhone 6. What's particularly interesting is Apple's definition of its Retina screens. Simply put, it means that you can't see individual pixels when you use the smartphone from a normal distance. In other words, using the same screen size as the iPhone 5 would mean that there's no point in upping the resolution. So, it could be that Apple's now going to up the screen size to get more resolution. This would make a lot of sense, particularly because large-screen Android phones are proving so popular at the moment. Larger screen competition also means that Samsung, Sony and HTC are all producing phones with Full HD resolutions of 1,920x1,080. Apple really needs to keep up if it wants to win specifications wars. One option is to ditch its definition of Retina and simply update the screen resolution, in order to compete on specifications alone. However, a more sensible thing to do would be to go for a larger screen size, do that more pixels are required. Currently doing the rounds are the rumours that the iPhone 6 will have a 4.8in screen, which would make the phone similar in size to the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One. At this screen resolution, Apple could then move to a Full HD (1,920x1,080 resolution) or even go beyond. While Apple has not previously made a large-screen phone, upping the screen size for the iPhone 6 makes a lot of sense. It means it can compete with the large-screen phones from other manufacturers and keep the iPhone 5S as a smaller alternative, giving iPhone users more choice. Apple can also do what it can to keep the size of the phone down. A thinner screen, as discussed above, will make a 4.8in iPhone 6 feel less chunky. Ditching the home button, as rumoured, would also mean that the phone can be made a bit shorter, using the front of the phone purely for the screen. To see what a 4.8in iPhone 6 with no home button would look like, check out the concept video below. Apple may also be considering the screen technology that it uses, with a Sharp IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) screen top of the list. This new technology allows for screens that use less power and are considerably thinner. Rumours certainly picked up when the Sharp IGZO technology was demonstrated at CES 2013. Sharp has also started manufacturing a super-sensitive touchscreen, which you can write on with a pencil and even operate with gloves on. Given Apple's relationship with Sharp, rumours have linked the new technology to the iPhone 6. The new screen technology has eight times the sensitivity of existing models, is scratch resistant and is also thinner than existing screens. In other words, it would be hard to see why Apple wouldn't want this technology. iPHONE 6 FLEXIBLE DISPLAY It's also been rumoured that Apple is investing flexible screen technology, which would allow it to create a new smartphone that looks completely different to any previous iPhone. Recently, Apple posted a job advert for an engineer with experience with flexible screens. The job summary said: "Apple Inc. is looking for a Display Specialist to lead the investigation on emerging display technologies such as high optical efficiency LCD, AMOLED and flexible display to improve overall display optical performance." This follows a patent application for a phone with a wrap-around AMOLED screen. With both the job advert and patent filing, it could mean that the iPhone 6 is the most radical redesign of the iPhone we've ever seen. However, from experience, we'd say that working with a completely new technology and getting it right, as well as proving reliability, would mean that flexible displays are likely to be used in later models. iPhone 6 flexible screen The iPhone 6 could have a flexible wrap-around screen iPHONE 6 CAMERA One of the most important part of any smartphone is the camera, with people generally preferring their phone over a compact camera. With the competition putting a lot of effort into the quality of their cameras, Apple has slightly fallen behind, with the iPhone 5's quality not matching that of the Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTC One. Recent rumours, reported by MacRumours have stated that the iPhone 5S will get a 12-megapixel sensor, up from the 8-megapixel version on the iPhone 5. It stands to reason that the iPhone 6 will get the same, or better, sensor. Upping the sensor resolution can introduce problems with noise, though, as there's less light per pixel. Apple will be keen to counteract problems like this, so a lens with a faster aperture would make sense. Currently the iPhone 5 has an f2.4 lens, but an f2.2 or f2.0 lens would mean better low-light photography. iPHONE 6 STORAGE In terms of storage, 64GB has been the top model for a couple of years, so we'd expect the top model to now be 128GB. This has been predicted by Misek, who believes that the iPhone will offer more storage than before. Whether or not this means a new top-end model or whether the entry-level 16GB model hasn't been confirmed, but we'd expect Apple to ditch the low-end and stick with its current pricing. The rumours of a 128GB version would seem to be true, as we know that Apple now has that capacity, thanks to the recent launch of a 128GB iPad 4. The new model doubled the maximum capacity of the previous high-end iPad (64GB). This update was said to be about increasing the variety of uses for the tablet, with Apple stating that more storage was good for large files for use in applications such as CAD and music production. It's also a more useful amount of storage for photos and videos. The update to the iPad 4 was a completely new model with a new price, so we'd expect the same range of capacities and prices to be available from the iPad 5: 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB. With Apple now using 128GB storage in its tablets, the question is whether or not it will provide the same range of capacities in its iPhone and iPad Mini range, too. Given that the capacity is now available to Apple and that the smartphone market is even more competitive, we'd say that a 128GB version of the new phone is more than likely. IPHONE 6 INDOOR MAPPING Apple has recently bought indoor location tracking start-up WifiSLAM for $20m, fuelling a rumour that the iPhone 6 will have indoor mapping. Apple has bought the company outright, so it's likely that its technology will be integrated directly into iOS products, rather than being available for third-party use. While GPS is brilliant, it requires line-of-sight to satellites, meaning that it doesn't work accurately indoors. WifiSLAM's technology is designed to use alternative radio beacons (WiFi networks, RFID tags or specialist transmitters) to track people inside a building. That may sound a little odd, but inside large buildings, such as museums, shopping centres and airports, the technology could be really useful. It may be that the iPhone 6 gets this technology, so that it's in-door ready. However, as indoor mapping requires additional technology to work properly, it could be a while before a lot of buildings are supported. IPHONE 6 LUMINANCE SHOCK Not all of the new features destined for the iPhone 6 are about making it faster, more attractive or improving the screen. Some, such as the mooted luminance shock eye protection, are about making it more comfortable to use. Luminance shock is when you're say in a dark room and a message or notification pops-up on your phone, shooting the screen to full brightness, temporarily creating a vision impairment. Now Apple has won a patent for a luminance shock avoidance. According to the abstract supplied by Apple, "The algorithm receives the state of the display (e.g. on or in standby mode), and can optionally receive an ambient lighting value from an ambient light sensor and a user-selectable manual brightness adjustment setting to determine whether luminescence shock avoidance should even be triggered, and if it is triggered, how much should the brightness level of the display be limited." In other words, the phone will use the ambient light sensor built into the phone to see how dark it is. It will also monitor to see if the phone's turned on or not. If the phone's off and the room is dark, the algorithm kicks into action when an alert comes in and only raises the screen to a pre-set brightness level, avoiding luminance shock. The patent then goes on to explain how, after a set period of time, the handset would then raise the brightness of the screen to the set brightness level, slowly ramping it up and giving your eyes time to adjust. Apple's patent also describes using a gamma shift to change the screen to red wavelengths, which the eye is less sensitive to, moving it away from the blue/green light. One of the key things about the patent is that it's a luminance shock avoidance algorithm, which means that Apple can implement it in software. That means that the iPhone 5S could get it, as well as existing iOS devices, such as the iPhone 5 and iPad 4. NFC One of the omissions from the iPhone 5 was NFC, but with the technology starting to appear in most new Android phones, we'd expect this in the in iPhone 6. With Apple pushing its Passbook App, for storing store cards, tickets and coupons, integrating this with NFC would make a lot of sense. An Apple phone with NFC would also help push the technology, as retailers are more likely to take it seriously with this handset on board. iPHONE 6 SMART BEZEL One of the things that attracts people to the iPhone is its ease of use and simplicity. However, iOS has barely changed since launch, so Apple could well introduce new ways to interact with its phones in order to stay ahead of the competition. Patently Apple managed to dig up information on a new patent for a smart bezel. This will use a secondary display system, which could be embedded around the primary screen or even on the back of a device to provide new controls that light up when needed. According to Patently Apple, "Apple intends to use the secondary display to introduce a new set of illuminated indicators that would be able to morph into various controls for work and play. Illuminated gaming and productivity controls could be built into the face-side of the bezel and/or selected back-side areas of iOS devices like the iPad." Apple iPhone 6 smart bezel Smart bezel will use a secondary display system that illuminates controls when they're needed That sounds pretty cool to us and could negate some of the negative point of iOS, such as having to scroll all the way to the top of an SMS thread to call the contact. iPHONE 6 PROCESSOR Judging what Apple will do with the processor is harder, but we'd expect an updated model in the iPhone 6. Currently the iPhone 5 has a dual-core Apple A6 processor, but a quad-core Apple A7, using ARM Cortex A15-based cores, sounds plausible to us. It also seems more than likely that Apple will use ARM's big.LITTLE architecture. This allows a processor to have low-power cores that save on battery life, when not much CPU power is required, switching to full-power cores when more intensive tasks are required. Apple's always been hot on battery life, so this move would make sense, particularly as it's something that ARM's really pushing at the moment. There are already quad-core phones from Apple's competitors and there's now the Samsung octa-core Exynos 5 chip. However, it's important to note that more cores doesn't been better performance and the iPhone 5 is still the smoothest and fastest smartphone that we've used, despite having 'only' two cores. With that in mind, Apple will only use the hardware that its phone requires, rather than going all-out to get the most number of cores into a phone. The latest information suggests that the Apple A7 processor is now being finished by the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing company. It appears as though, the final design will go in March, then move to risk production in May-June. With that kind of schedule production of the new chip would happen in 2014, meaning that this processor will definitely be for the iPhone 6, while the iPhone 5S is more likely to get some kind of tweaked A6 processor. Recent rumours have suggested that the iPhone 6 process will be manufactured by Intel, rather than Samsung. With Intel's core market of desktop and laptops contracting, the company is looking to expand its business by offering contract manufacturing. It makes a lot of sense, as Intel has the capital investment in global fabrication plants, which means it should be able to offer competitive prices. It also means that Apple can move away from Samsung, reducing its reliance on its main competitor. This shouldn't be read as a move to Intel-based technology, though. Although Intel has a smartphone chip, it hasn't been used in a lot of phones, with manufacturers preferring ARM. ARM has the dual benefits of low power requirements, which are important on battery-powered devices, and the fact that it licenses its technology, so manufacturers can easily build their own custom chips. iOS 7 One of the constants of the iPhone has been iOS 6, which as barely changed. In fact, with iOS 5, which was introduced with the iPhone 5, the OS barely changed, bar the introduction of the disastrous Apple Maps app. With Android offering Widgets and Windows Mobile 8 a cleaner interface, it's fair to say that iOS is starting to look a bit dated. We'd bet money on Apple working on a successor with a different interface, but whether or not this is iOS 7 and whether or not it will be released with the iPhone 6 is yet to be seen. The odds of iOS 7 being ready on time have slipped, with news that the project is now behind schedule. According to recent reports, Apple has had to take developers away from OS X 10.9 in order to get its mobile OS back on track. So, where does that leave us? Well, the smart betting is that iOS 7 will be released with or shortly after the iPhone 5S, iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2. Current information has the iPhone 6 releasing next year, so we wouldn't be surprised if it were to get a tweaked version of iOS 7, perhaps with some unique features for this handset. iPHONE 6 CONCEPTS Working off the discovered patents and leaked information, a lot of iPhone 6 concepts have been released. At the moment, the most interesting one is from InventHelp's Nickolay Lamm. "I feel that the sales success of the iPhone 5 overlooks the fact that it was a pretty boring phone," Lamm said. "I looked at all of Apple’s recent patents and chose four which Apple may include in the iPhone 6 or later version. I then hired a 3D graphic designer to illustrate each of these patents so that the illustrations were as realistic as possible. I gave him very specific guidelines to follow." The shot below shows a possible version of the phone, along with the Smart Bezel highlighting controls on the screen. The finished iPhone 6 will most likely look different, but it's interesting to see how Smart Bezel could work.

The Sony Xperia Tablet S initially showed much promise. It was supposedly going to launch Sony as a major player in the global tablet market. Unfortunately the tablet slowly but surely faded into obscurity. However if you have one of these lying around you’d be excited to know that the company has officially announced Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update for Xperia Tablet S. The update will be online its production servers by tomorrow morning between 9 and 10am PST. Xperia Tab S user’s will receive a notification in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, telling them that they can download the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update over-the-air. The release is for Latin America, Canada and the United States region. In locations other than these the latest update will be rolled out in phases. The company hasn’t released a changelog as yet, it has only said that the entire list of changes will be available tomorrow on their eSupport page. This Android update file will definitely be over 50MB, so it is advised that you download it over Wi-Fi so as to not unnecessarily burden your mobile data plan.

Xperia™ Tablet Z

 Xperia™ Tablet Z

Any new product, like Microsoft's Surface Pro or Samsung's Galaxy Note 8, looking to break into the tablet market needs to confront an unfortunate reality: It is dominated by Apple and the iPad. Making headway means either pulling new customers into the market or convincing existing iPad owners their slate isn't quite up to par. The Surface Pro hasn't quite been able to do that, but with the Galaxy Note 8 out now and the Xperia Tablet Z coming in May, these three tablets show that the iPad needs to catch up in at least one significant way: multitasking. Like Us on Facebook Sure, Apple likes to say the iPad features multitasking, but it's really just a way to switch between single apps faster. You can't run two apps at the same time, unless hearing your music play in the background counts (it doesn't). Trying to be productive on an iPad isn't as efficient as it should be, and, as ZDNet points out, new products are just going to make the iPad look less capable if Apple doesn't fix this, especially if the company expects users to do more with their tablets. The Surface Pro already offers decent multitasking with Snap View, which lets users run two different programs side-by-side on the same screen. Implementation on Microsoft's device isn't quite perfect, but it's still leaps and bounds ahead of the iPad's offering. The issue with the Surface Pro's solution is that, right now, it forces you to have one app take up nearly 70 percent of the screen, while the other app is relegated to the smaller portion. Fortunately, that'll change with Windows 8.1 (Blue), which will allow users to choose between the original ratio or give each app a 50/50 share of the screen. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Note 8 and Xperia Tablet Z will offer multitasking options with a little more customization. The two new tablets offer Android's multi view feature, which not only lets users run two apps simultaneously, but also lets them re-size the apps to whatever size they want. The Galaxy Note 8 has already been praised for its great multitasking ability, and it'll be interesting to see how the Xperia Tablet Z performs when it's released next month. Either way, future Surface Pro/RT editions are set to offer enhanced multitasking, while a heap of Android slates are going to come out featuring the same types of capabilities. If the iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 aim to keep Apple's grip on the market firm, then it's important they don't fall behind.

HTC One U.S.

HTC One U.S.

In February, after months of rumors, leaks and speculation, HTC took the curtain down from around its brand new smartphone, the HTC One, a device that is set to replace the HTC One X and the HTC One X+. At the time, HTC revealed that it would be hitting a number of carriers across the globe during the month of March, including the United States. But as we’ve found out, there are still plenty of questions about the HTC One U.S. release date and a launch that has turned into a mess. Read: HTC One Release Bringing Bold, Expensive Marketing. In the months before February 19th, HTC had been rumored to be coming up with a new flagship smartphone for 2013, a device that was originally called the HTC M7, and one that it hoped would bring the company back to prominence and take on the likes of the iPhone 5 and its biggest Android rival, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S4. New reports point to HTC One release date delays and shortages into late Apri.. The HTC One U.S. release still has plenty of mysteries surrounding it. Those rumors culminated with an event in the United States, New York City to be exact, where HTC took the stage and announced its brand new HTC One, a device that features a number of upgrades over the company’s previous flagship models. In order to make it appealing in the face of intense competition, HTC went to great lengths with its features. Starting with its design, it’s made entirely out of metal and features a ZeroGap design that makes the device feel flush throughout. HTC also loaded it up with a new Ultrapixel camera, a speedy quad-core processor, and a 4.7-inch display with 1080p resolution to set it apart, at least size-wise, from its many competitors. The company also outfitted the device with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and its new version of HTC Sense, HTC Sense 5.0, which is a vast departure from its previous skins. The partial cherry on top of the entire event was that the HTC One was announced for several American carriers, something that hadn’t happened with previous HTC phones at launch. Better yet, HTC said that the device would be hitting shelves across the globe starting in March. However, despite all of HTC’s revelations about the HTC One including information about its release date, the HTC One still hasn’t arrived on carriers in the United States. In fact, as we approach the end of March, we still have a number of mysteries surrounding the HTC One U.S. release date which has devolved into a complete mess. HTC One U.S. Release Date Shortly after the HTC One’s launch, we saw mobile operators in the UK announce that the device would be made available starting on March 15th, a little under a month after its launch, and a date which fell in line with HTC’s March pronouncement. On March 12th though, word of a delay spread like wildfire and HTC unfortunately confirmed that it would be pushing some release dates back. Word soon came that the HTC One U.S. release date wouldn’t be delayed as it was on a different timeline than the other models but its rumored release date of March 22nd has come and gone and thus far, no American carrier has stepped forward to provide any sort of pertinent information about the HTC One’s release. AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile have remained quiet through it all, leaving HTC to attempt to clean up the mess that it has created. So far, none of them have confirmed any details in regards to the timing, leaving potential customers completely in the dark.

HTC Desire C Android 4.0

HTC Desire C Android 4.0

A new HTC device called the HTC Desire C has been made official today and it will be coming to select carriers in the United Kingdom for cheap. The device, which was finally made official today, brings some likable features along with it. First, it offers up a 3.5-inch HVGA display, the same size as the display found on the iPhone 4S. Of course, HVGA does not offer the same type of resolution found with the iPhone’s Retina Display. The HTC Desire C also features Beats Audio, Near Field Communication support and a 5MP rear camera. HTC Desire S Announced: 3.5-Inch Screen, ICS, Sense 4However, the best part of the phone is probably the fact that it offers Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich right out of the box. There currently aren’t many budget smartphones that offer this up and that’s what makes the HTC Desire S a phone to look at. The device also features the new HTC Sense 4.0 and will be available in red, black or white. It’ll also have access to the Google Play Store where users will be able to download applications. Sadly, the phone has not been announced for the United States. Instead, the phone will be headed to several carriers in the United Kingdom including Three UK and Orange UK. T-Mobile UK will also be carrying the device as well. As for a release date, the phone is slated to arrive in the United Kingdom sometime in June, although neither HTC nor any of the carriers involved announced a specific release date.

Sony Xperia TX gets Android

Sony Xperia TX gets Android

Posted on 28 Mar 2013 at 09:38, by Gareth Halfacree Sony has begun updating its Xperia TX Android smartphones to Jelly Bean, but anyone hoping to see the very latest 4.2 release appear on their handsets will be disappointed to learn that they are only getting Android 4.1.2. While not the Android 4.2 release that adds features such as the PhotoSphere panorama camera mode, the update is still a version of Google's Jelly Bean OS and includes a raft of improvements over the device's previous Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich version, including performance boosts and a better notification system. The update is believed to be the same as the one that rolled out for the Xperia T, including updates to Sony's own-brand Walkman, Album and Movies packages that improve the user interface and make them easier to use. The move to Jelly Bean also brings improved home screen features, extra resizable widgets and up to seven desktop panes, along with improvements to how apps can be organised in the App Drawer and into trays of linked applications. While the Xperia T's update also brought with it improvements to the functionality of the rear-facing camera, including an improved viewfinder with auto-scene setting and the option to switch between front and back camera with a single touch, it is not yet known whether those improvements have made it across to the Xperia TX - although given the similarity between the two handsets, it's almost certain that they have. For Xperia TX owners that want to upgrade their handsets to the new software release, the update can be downloaded and installed using Sony's PC Companion software now, with an over-the-air update likely to appear in the near future for those who would prefer to wait to be prompted.
