Android 4.0 of ice cream Sandwich review

The most recent Android 4.0 of ice cream is no ordinary OS update.  It is rather a renewal of architecture which provides a wide range of new features, except for the unification of the smartphone versions and compressed software.

To cover all changes will be to drown in the details - there are too many to reasonably run down.  For the purposes of this review, we will focus on the largest changes.

Visual transformed

A whole new look and feel brings cream to architecture - a more elegant and refined.  Almost each screen is refreshed, combining elements of honeycomb with a redesigned aesthetic.  The home screen lists the appearance of the folder with the new notifications drop-down menu, it is just an interface generally more attractive, less cute.

Camera

Panorama is now an integrated in Android mode and it works really slowly (in the least, the link of the Galaxy).  Joint photo and video gallery is also redesigned to cram in more thumbnails in each screen.    In addition, Google has decided to finally invest in tools that are integrated in the Gallery of really good photo editing.

Contacts

The contacts app once upload.php has changed for the better.  The page layout, for example, is made in more prominent pictures, with more available for each individual customizations (you can all of a contact person calls to voice mail, for example).  Your contacts leaves also feels less messy.  You can also start with a text, email or call simply by selecting a photo of an application native communication.

Messaging

Keep us the larger reading area, and how the contacts email addresses and photos appear.   The composition of the emails, you can drag and drop easy articles identified on the form, bypassing all punctuation, cutting and pasting.  We want the function new Word correction, which is more like a good word processing than previous versions.  Oh yes, the new keyboard on the screen is very generous.

Unlocking of the face

The new security option can unlock the phone hand keep your face for a few seconds.  If it recognizes that you, then you have access to the phone.  If this fails, you can type in the PIN or a pattern on the screen, which are safer than the face thing (a photo high resolution full-size can unblock, as shown by bloggers) to the trace.

Other notables

There are many more new features on the ice cream Sandwich, including the Android bar (which transfers data from one phone to another subject NFC), a greatly improved browser, Visual voice mail and much small slim.

Leaked: Motorola Droid 4

Wait the last Moto Droid abandonment?  While it is not yet officially, the Motorola Droid has 4 on leaks this week and it seems quite mild.

Design bears some similarities to the Droid Razr, although it is not so very thin.  The extra thickness, of course, courtesy of the keyboard sliding five ranks, which looks like a little cramped on the basis of the images of the product (or maybe it's just the angle).  We love the White Backlight that appears on each key, however.

The details of the Motorola Droid 4 leak include a 4-inch capacitive touch (resolution 960 x 540), an 8.0 megapixel (with record 1080p video), a video cam oriented to the front, a LTE 4 G radio and a 1, 785mAh battery.  Treatment is managed by a 1.2 GHz dual core CPU, combined with 1 GB of RAM.

The handset runs Android, instead of only 2.3 gingerbread ice cream Sandwich.   Other notable features include the motorcycle slightly modified UI, encryption of Government-grade for sensitive data (emails, calendars and contacts) 1080p via HDMI and a lot of applications of Motorola (including interpreters of the motorcycle and Smart Battery Saver actions) mirroring.

On the basis of the disclosure of documents, Verizon Motorola Droid 4 will come before the end of the year, probably in the first half of December.

Samsung exhibit II 4 G Review: cheap Design, solid features

The exhibit II 4 G Samsung is not the prettiest, most comparative phone, we have seen.  The specifications are good, but, and it's heavy on the functions, making for a combined Android for the bargain hunters.

Physically, the smartphone seems little similarity with its predecessor and not in a good way - the build less expensive, almost exclusively trimmed hard plastic.  We recommend that it is acceptable, even if, in view of the fact that this is the budget crowd.  In addition, construction plastic also lighter compared to phones and medium-sized businesses.  Is a display touch screen 3.7 inches with a resolution of 480 x 800.  The quality is on par with similar devices in the same range.

If a phone manages good conversations Samsung exhibit II 4 G, with a clear voice and a lot of volume.  There is a bit of buzz light background that is displayed and output, although it has contrived enough that you can easily ignore it.   Speaker offered much sound intensity, although those on the other hand an irritant show reported to my voice.  Battery is estimated at 5.5 hours of talk time.

Bread Spice 2.3 Android, all of the usual set of smartphone functions are carried out on board.   There are full load of messaging options, a full range of wireless connectivity (HSPA +, 3 G, aGPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and DLNA) and a host of updated Mobile for Google apps.  Samsung throws in a set of apps, too, including AllShare DLNA, choose Synchronize air and the Centre social, with many additions of T-Mobile.

3.0 Megapixel takes photos clear outside, even if the colors look a bit washed.  Camera VGA of oriented to the front works very well, too.   With processor 1 GHz, is strong enough overall performance of the handset, especially for the something to this category of price.

Available for $29.99 on a two year agreement and $ 199.99 af-contract, Samsung exhibit II 4 G offers a better price-to-functions ratio on the market today.

Review of Motorola Admiral: solid, sustainable characteristics

While the slate form factor touch screen became the standard for contemporary smartphones, the Blackberry - style QWERTY candy bar design a preference among a large part of mobile workers.  And Admiral Motorola offers one of the best devices for this particular crowd.

Physically, it seems very industrial, despite the rounded corners and curved edges.  It is not a beautiful woman, but it reflects what it purports to be - a beast of phone.  Construction feels difficult, phones in a way in this category were always intended to be, that the display is a touch screen capacitive 3.1 inch (resolution of 480 x 640), with a physical QWERTY keyboard right below.  The screen is sufficient, even if we want the light of the Sun ceased under the better (as is the case, it remains usable, but colors are washed out).   The keyboard is very flexible with a comfortable design.

If a phone makes the Admiral for good conversations.  What is clear, although I could have used more volume (in crowded areas, you'll need camouflage to hear).  A push-to-talk phone, the speaker is very strong for the conversations with large hands free and of course, PTT calls.  Battery is great and will probably last moderate users up to two days.

You get all the smartphone usual favours (he works 2.3.5 Android with Motoblur on top), including a full suite of messaging, the full range of wireless 3 G, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, DLNA connectivity and a good selection of apps.  Especially if we those targeted for commercial use (there are many), because it is a business phone.

That said, it is also a decent media phone, and provides good performance with its processor 1.2 GHz Snapdragon S2.  The 5.0 megapixel makes great shots outdoors.  Inside, however, look washed photos even with the flash-LED in the game.  It manages the decent 720 p as well as video.

We love the Motorola Admiral for the excellent construction and overall responsiveness.  It serves well its objective workaholic.  The price is $ 99.99 with a new agreement of two years of the Sprint.

Gangstar Rio: City of Saints review

Gang star series acquired under the sandbox iOS-use a good following action games fans.  And the last of the series, Gang star Rio: City of Saints, not disappointed, easy to position itself as the best game of the party.

Although it is still not perfect, the game is a step specifies up overprotective towards his two predecessors.   The graphics are cleaner, the character system is more complete and total the world feels very lively.  The downside, the host remains low, the story is not the most exciting and save the clouds is not yet supported.  But those are things that you should be able to look past, in view of all the fun the rest of the game.

Gangstar Rio de gameplay and controls remains similar to the previous incarnations, which means it's a heck of a fun action game. In addition, it is a fleshy game with more than 60 missions thrown in a bunch of random events go to sandbox games, dozens of vehicles to run in (including helicopters and tanks) and tons of weapons. The addition of a new system of clothing based on experience and levels, which can improve certain characteristics (for example, what clothes do you more luck when it comes to looting of enemies) respect, is welcome, because it adds an additional level of incentives to promote effectively of your character.

The visuals are not yet on the same level as the best graphics in the iOS software, but it is a net improvement.  In addition, they have fixed many problems with the physical and building of the pop - ups, making the game feel much smoother.   If you have an iPhone-4, by the way, this thing loads and fast game (not sure of the older iPhones, although).

While I still really live up to its potential of waiting gangstar, am Rio gangstar is a clear step in the right direction.  It is a heck of a pleasure of the game, too, and is worth the price of $6.99.
