Galaxy S II breaks Samsung’s records, sells 3 million in 55 days

admin — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 06:29:58 +0000

Unless you were hanging out with the sherpas in the Himalayas you probably must have heard a lot about the Samsung Galaxy S II. To say it was well-received would be an understatement as almost everyone we knew had already got one or was planning on getting one. But now we have the official figures from Samsung and we know just how well they did. Unsurprisingly, they did very well.

The Galaxy S II went on to break Samsung’s own record and sold over three million units in the 55 days since launch. That’s approximately 50,000 phones a day. According to Samsung, most of these phones were consumed within the European markets.

If you think these figures aren’t all that impressive, you should know that the Galaxy S II is yet to go on sale in the US. Had it been an international launch, the figures would have been much higher. But even at the rate at which it is currently going, it won’t take long for it to break the 10 million record set by Galaxy S.

Nokia quietly unveils the Symbian-running C5 5MP

admin — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 06:23:49 +0000

Recently Nokia quietly added the specs of C5-00 5MP to its multiple websites. The candybar Symbian smartphone is virtually identical to its C5-00 sibling, but for the doubled RAM and boosted camera.

The name of the Nokia C5 5MP says it all. It’s an 5MP version of the good old C5 smartphone. It has the same measurements, processor, Symbian S60 OS and features. There are just two differences – more memory (256MB RAM and 512MB ROM) and higher-resolution (5 megapixel) camera sensor.

Nokia C5 5MP

Perhaps Nokia is mum on this fella because the Finns think there’s nothing to talk about here. Well, there might be no reason to call a press conference and heap praise on it, but it wouldn’t have hurt anyone.

Anyway you may head this way to full specs or compare it to its older 3MP C5 sibling.

The Nokia C5 5MP should become available some time in the next quarter, but we don’t have any information on its pricing just yet.

Nokia N950 MeeGo developer’s platform packs QWERTY keyboard

admin — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 06:19:24 +0000

The long awaited MeeGo device is finally a reality and it turns out it has a brother – the Nokia N950 is a developer’s platform running MeeGo and packs a QWERTY keyboard along with similar specs to that of the N9.

The Nokia N950 is likely one of the leaked MeeGo devices that was rumored to be the official MeeGo handset for this year. The N950 is not a consumer device – it comes with no warranty, beta software (which has issues) and overall may not work as well as a day-to-day device (e.g. some drivers are not finalized, apps may crash and so on).

Still, the N950 has an aluminum body, which is always a plus and the slide-out QWERTY keyboard will draw the eye of heavy texters. The screen is a 4″ TFT unit with FWVGA resolution (rather than 3.9″ FWVGA AMOLED).

The 8MP camera on the Nokia N950 has “very similar image quality” to the Carl Zeiss branded camera on the N9 but the camera units are different. The front facing camera is in a different location but the same module is used for both devices.

Other differences include the lack of NFC module in the N950 and its digital compass isn’t as accurate and the battery is slightly smaller (1320mAh vs. 1450mAh).

The software on the Nokia N950 isn’t finalized and won’t get an Over-the-Air update (but devs can flash it manually). Still, MeeGo is a very flexible platform and we’re guessing it won’t be long until someone ports the software from the N9 to the N950.

Nokia didn’t specify a release date or price for the N950 model. Still, MeeGo enthusiasts should be ecstatic about this – two MeeGo devices even though Nokia promised only one

Motorola Milestone 3 reviewed, the 4-inch qHD screen is PenTile

admin — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 06:12:23 +0000

The Motorola Milestone 3 is still unofficial but its first full review just went online. The review confirms some specs, has an interesting discovery about the screen and brings benchmarks, camera samples and hands-on impressions.

We’ve seen the Motorola Milestone 3 and the Droid 3 (those should be almost identical save for the GSM/CDMA radio differences) several times before.

Motorola Milestone 3

We’ve known for a while that the Motorola Milestone 3 / Droid 3 has a 4″ qHD LCD screen. The Chinese site that got their hands on the Milestone 3 however claims that it has a PenTile matrix and offer the following photos as proof. If that’s the case, then the screen should the same as the one used in the Atrix, which we didn’t like all that much.

Proof that the Milestone 3 display is a 4″ qHD LCD with PenTile Matrix

The Motorola Milestone 3 is running Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread with MOTOBLUR, uh sorry, we forgot Motorola didn’t like that name anymore. The CPU is a dual-core Cortex-A9 running at 1GHz with PowerVR SGX540 graphics, packaged in a TI OMAP 4430 chipset with 512MB RAM.

Benchmarks put it behind the HTC Sensation, though that’s for a very early pre-release unit, so the results aren’t totally dependable.

Early performance results

The Milestone 3 packs a microHDMI port and an 8MP camera that can record FullHD video. The reviewers snapped a few photos, but unfortunately, they used the 16:9 option, which doesn’t use the full 8MP resolution of the camera. Anyway, here are the photos:

Alas there’s no video camera sample.

Nokia E6 finally hits the UK shelves, X7-00 lands in the US

admin — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 06:00:48 +0000

Two of the latest Nokia Symbian smartphones have just become available. The handsets that started leaving the Nokia factories at the end of last month have finally reached retailers. User in the UK are now able to experience the QWERTY magic of the E6, while those in the US can get their hands on the 4” AMOLED-packing X7-00.

The Nokia E6 has been listed at the Finish company UK website as available. Sold on both Pay as you go for £339 and on a £25/month contract for free the smartphone costs just as much as it did when it went on pre-order. You can also get a “Phone only” deal for £10 above the Pay as you go offer. If you take the plunge, you get to pick between three different colors for your shiny new Nokia E6 – black, silver and white.

Update 14 June: We were contacted by Nokia UK press office to clear out the issue surrounding the Nokia E6 availability. As it turns out, the change in the Nokia E6 status was a technical mistake and the handset isn’t shipping just yet. Well, we guess the waiting for that one isn’t over just yet.

The Nokia X7-00 on the other hand has even managed to cross the Atlantic and is now listed as in stock with several US online retailers. The asking price is $535.95, which is a bit steep, but early adoption fees usually do that to highly popular smartphones.

The Nokia X7 is currently only available in its Dark Steel color version so if you wanted the Silver one you will have to wait a while longer

Nokia leaks C2-06 Touch and Type accidentally, dual-SIM fans rejoice

admin — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 05:52:48 +0000

The first dual-SIM member of the Nokia Touch and Type family has just made its unexpected public debut. The Nokia C2-06 (or C2-02 according to some sources) appeared on the Nokia Conversation blog, starring on an image dedicated to the IPv6 transition of the company’s OVI browser.

As you can imagine, given the nature of the leak, there were no phone specifications mentioned, but this image is more than enough to confirm the existence of the handset.

Before this confirmation, there was always the chance that the leaked prototype we saw earlier was just a dead project that will never see the light of day. Well, it’s not.

Now this “accidental” appearance of the unannounced C2-06 could be either a PR move by Nokia attempting to generate more interest to the Ovi browser article, or just an honest mistake, but whatever it is, we are sure the dual-SIM fans around the world will be glad it happened.

It was only recently, that we saw the first Dual SIM phones by Nokia, the Nokia X1-01 and C2-00, finally ship.

So how about an official announcement now so we know what exactly to be looking forward to?

Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 review: Utility droid

admin — Tue, 31 May 2011 17:18:21 +0000

Introduction

Samsung’s QWERTY messengers have not exactly been setting the world on fire. They have done well though to set the scene for this one. The Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 follows on the heels of Omnia and Corby. It puts Android in a time-tested form factor and is ready to entertain upgraders coming from dumbphones and PocketPCs alike.

Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 official pictures

The Galaxy Pro has a clear objective – deliver the full Android experience, a good social package and hassle-free messaging. What does it need to meet those tasks? Well, a comfortable QWERTY keyboard obviously, possibly a touchscreen, enough processing power and at least some basic shooting skills to capture the important moments. Of course, a messenger is nothing without a proper OS and this is where the Android Froyo comes in. But let’s see what else the Galaxy Pro has to offer.

Key features

2.8″ 256K-color TFT capacitive touchscreen of QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) resolution
Full four-row QWERTY keyboard
ARMv6 800MHz CPU, 270MB RAM, 180MB of user-available storage
Android 2.2.2 (Froyo) with TouchWiz 3.0 UI
Quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G support
7.2 Mbps HSDPA
Wi-Fi 802.11 b, g, n with hotspot functionality
GPS with A-GPS connectivity; digital compass
3.15 MP autofocus camera
QVGA video recording @30fps
microUSB port (charging) and stereo Bluetooth v3.0
microSD slot (up to 32GB, 2GB in box)
Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
Accelerometer and proximity sensor
Document viewer out of the box, paid editing
Stereo FM radio with RDS
Light and compact
Smart dialing

Main disadvantages

The QVGA screen looks bad and limits the choice of apps
Portrait homescreen ported to landscape takes some time getting used to
QVGA-only video recording
No shutter key
No Adobe Flash support in the browser
No secondary video-call camera
No ambient light sensor
No dedicated video player app
No multi-touch
Android 2.2 Froyo, instead of latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread

It should be clear by now the Galaxy Pro B7510 isn’t your typical Android powerhouse for HD video, quality imaging or heavy-duty internet browsing. Gaming is out of the picture too. To be honest, the Galaxy Pro doesn’t quite make the grade as a BlackBerry competitor. To make up for it, it is social and friendly – and a great texter too. Virtual keyboards have been getting better but the Galaxy Pro’s superbly laid-out keypad is the prefect addition to Gmail.

So the Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 it is and, although this is not the typical Android package, let’s hope the experience is up to scratch. With a handful of Samsung Ch@ts, Corbies and Omnia messengers gone almost unnoticed, we’re about to see if our Galaxy Pro here has what it takes to leave a mark. Our traditional hardware check-up is due right after the break.

Motorola XOOM review: The Big Bang

admin — Thu, 26 May 2011 13:54:53 +0000

Introduction

Phones far and wide wanted to be the iPhone killer and you know what – tablets are no different. The iPad needs to get used to living with a bounty on its head. And always be ready for the likes of the Motorola XOOM.

But the XOOM is no ordinary competitor. We’re talking the first Honeycomb tablet, a cornerstone for Android. It’s Motorola’s first tablet too. If they play their cards right, it could be a big money earner for a company in trouble, so we know Moto gave it their best.

Motorola XOOM official photos

The XOOM has a 10.1” screen of 1280 x 800 pixels resolution, Google’s latest Android OS (after the update rolls out in full), purpose made for tablet use, and a powerful Tegra 2 1GHz dual-core chipset with 1GB RAM. Barely a few lines into the spec sheet and we already like the sound of it.

The Motorola XOOM has more to offer than that. The Verizon US version will be getting a (delayed) LTE update, while dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz) sounds sweet too.

But we won’t go on and on about the specs of the XOOM. Here go the highlights followed – as usual – by what we didn’t like.

Key features

10.1” capacitive touchscreen of 1280 x 800 pixel resolution; multi-touch
730g of weight
Dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n connectivity; Wi-Fi hotspot
Optional 3G connectivity (data only) – HSPA or 1xEV-DO (LTE via upgrade)
GPS with A-GPS support on all models
1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 AP20H Dual Core processor
1GB RAM
Android 3.0 Honeycomb, upgradable to 3.1
16/32/64GB of onboard storage
microSD card slot (up to 32GB)
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
Accelerometer, compass and three-axis gyro-sensor; barometer sensor
5MP auto-focus camera with dual-LED flash
720p video recording at 30fps
2MP secondary video call camera
HD TV-Out via microHDMI port
microUSB with host functionality
Flash-enabled web browser
10 hours video playback, 3.3 days of music playback

Main disadvantages

Seems quite laggy despite the 1GHz dual-core CPU
Screen is very reflective, hard to use outdoors
Quite a porker at 730 grams
No kickstand – it cannot be stood up on a table without a dock
Non-replaceable battery
Can’t charge off USB
LTE-enabling update not out yet for the Verizon version
Still waiting for an update to enable microSD slot as well
No document editor pre-installed, not even a viewer

We’re really curious to try out the tablet minded version of Android – the one we’ve tested before was clunky to use and clearly not intended for big screens. And we’ve had a positive experience with the Tegra 2 platform. It’ll be interesting to see how it performs inside a tablet.

And let’s just say that seeing a standard microHDMI port was a pleasant surprise – no need of an adapter to get the TV-Out working. The competition doesn’t even have a standard microUSB port so thumbs up for Motorola and keeping to standards.

Motorola XOOM in our office

The XOOM we’re about to get started with is the 3G-enabled variety with 32GB of inbuilt storage. And yes, it’s got Honeycomb inside – the version of Android meant for tablets. We can hardly wait. Jump to the next page and try to keep up.

Samsung Infuse 4G review: Extra legroom

admin — Fri, 20 May 2011 15:26:53 +0000

Introduction

In America, it is widely believed that bigger is better. Or so Samsung must have thought when they decided to launch the phone with the biggest and brightest screen first in the United States, and with the biggest network – AT&T. The Samsung Infuse 4G is definitely meant to stand out – its 4.5” Super AMOLED Plus screen is nearly unmatched on the market, and a beauty to look at. It makes 4-inchers look petty and irrelevant.

Despite its humongous screen, the Samsung Infuse 4G has an impressively thin body. At 8.99 mm, it is only a tad thicker than a Galaxy S2. It does have an excuse though – it’s packing a larger screen than the current Samsung flagship. That’s the spirit.

Key Features

Quad-band GSM and quad-band 3G support
21 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA support
4.5″ 16M-color Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen of WVGA (480 x 800 pixel) resolution
1.2 GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, 512 MB of RAM
8 MP wide-angle lens auto focus camera with LED flash, face, smile and blink detection
720p video recording at 30fps
Dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 b, g and n support
GPS with A-GPS connectivity; Digital compass
16GB internal storage, microSD slot
Accelerometer, gyroscope and proximity sensor
Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
Charging MHL microUSB port with USB host and TV-out (1080p) support
Stereo Bluetooth v3.0
FM radio with RDS
Great audio quality
Super slim and lightweight at 8.99mm and 139g
1.3MP secondary camera, video-call
Full Flash support and GPU-acceleration enable 1080p flash video playback in the web browser
Document editor
File manager preinstalled
The richest video format support we’ve seen

Main disadvantages

All-plastic build
No dedicated camera key
Super slim body has poor grip when taking pictures
Single-core processor
No 1080p video recording despite having the same camera unit as the Galaxy S2
Sheer size raises questions about single-handed use
Non-hot-swappable memory card slot
The device ships with Android 2.2 (Froyo), not the latest Gingerbread

Certain comparisons are not in the Samsung Infuse 4G’s favor. It looks like a flagship, but it’s not quite there. The Infuse just doesn’t have the raw processing power of the Galaxy S2. What’s fair’s fair though – it does look even more impressive.

Oddly enough, Samsung has decided to go with their older generation, single-core CPU which we know well from the Galaxy S line of phones. Is it going to be enough to power the Infuse 4G? We are about to find out.

Editorial: You might notice that this review is shorter than usual and doesn’t include all of our proprietary tests. The reason is it has been prepared and written far away from our office and test lab. The Samsung Infuse 4G is a US-only phone, so it will probably never get to the shores of the Old Continent. Still, we think we’ve captured the essence of the phone in the same precise, informative and detailed way that’s become our trademark. Enjoy the good read!
