HTC Sensation XL and a missed opportunity

It is almost as large as the Dell Streak Tablet smartphone mix and the gigantism of mobile phones increases to a maximum. The HTC Sensation XL has a 4.7 inch screen which is framed by an off-white case. There is disillusionment with the resolution that keeps up with 800 x 480 pixels but with several historic Samsung S2 Galaxy but not equivalent to what you can from the normal sensation with its expected QHD display. Therefore, the device is slightly thinner than 1 inch and has an 8 megapixel camera that is equipped with dual LED flash.

Under the hood was made more apparent savings that will somehow not quite fit the device. Inside, a single-core chipset tinkers with a clock speed of 1.5 GHz and that's not the latest HTC sensation here in the usual sense, which scores points with dual-core power. Of course there is the built-in CPU HTc Sensation XL is a Qualcomm Snapdragon model, because HTC is hoping very consistent. The justification for this choice eigenaritegn found in the envisaged target group again.

Beats Audio integration as the remaining reason to buy

If one asks for whom the HTc Sensation XL is made, is a reference to the integration of audio beats probably the most revealing statement. Thanks to an optimized sound quality for headphones, listen to music on your HTC smartphone incredibly well. That it is for any high-end CPU needed, can be explained by itself, therefore, from this phone is made for audiophiles.

So basically not a bad device, despite the concessions. However, this unit only has a 1600mAh battery, which threatens to limp to a maximum of 6 hours of audio playback. HTC has clearly missed out here the connection with the competition. In addition, this device but has 16 GB of internal memory that can not be extended but a microSD card slot, simply because of the missing. Now might be the HTC Sensation XL only sell on a price, but is estimated to be 500 € and thus to be dead stock. Too bad.

Motorola Admiral and his poor handling

Before we turn to the positive things that initially falls on a seriously negative factor. The focus of cell phones is very high up and makes it not easy to keep the unit comfortable for a longer time out in the hand. The reason for this is the screen on the top half and most of the technology including built, including the heaviest part of a cell phone, the battery system. The lower part is narrower in design and contains only the really lightweight keyboard. Negative one must now mention the lack of front camera, which includes at least with smartphones already standard equipment even if they will make of it probably rarely or never use. Let's talk about the pros and start with the video presentation from Sprint.

Owns Unlike most BlackBerrys, the Admiral Motorola mobile phone with a touchscreen. Its screen size measures 3.1 inches and is also slightly larger than a BlackBerry. In the resolution gives Motorola a simple VGA screen, which means nothing other than a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels.

What are some other things yet know

There are suspect as to when such devices almost always, only a single core processor, clocked at 1.2 GHz and has been named Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8655. Android 2.3 on a proprietary user interface has been established that not only looks like MotoBlur, but also is MotoBlur. Its main drawback is to register on one of Motorola's servers, so that the admiral then Motorola may also be used. Whether one has been solved, at least from this perfidious customer retention is unknown. Of the software here, but this does remain significant performance degradation that can be expressed in small jerks or generally weak performance.

Initially the unit in the U.S. have to. When it has reached Germany has not yet been announced. Price we could us move between 300 and 400 Euros.

When processing the expected standard should be set very low. Application for a 15.6-inch case comes with a corresponding display, which offers a so uneven illumination that can identify the user even with the naked eye. Unnecessary with the high gloss surface, the option to use the device in the open air by itself, this also paints under the battery, which forces gamers to leave the gaming laptop to continuously at the outlet. This represents but also rather less his claim. After all, there are all common connections to choose from. The Medion Erazer X6817 may also not quiet places, because there you will quickly notice the excessive volume of the device, which itself is in the idle mode, thus doing nothing, more than 30 decibels and constantly annoying. Even here, the player can draw on a headset, because the integrated sound system is only modest performance from him. With such a volume would have to assume that the temperature should be no problem for the device. Far from it! At the exit points of the fan, the machine is over 50 degrees hot. The residual levels off at 30 degrees warm.

High-end graphics card from Nvidia

The Intel Core i7 2670QM is a quad-core and is clocked at 2.2 GHz. Thanks to Turbo Boost function can be highly clocked cores on one of up to 3.1 GHz. In addition, the well-known Hyper-Threading feature is simulated for four cores. At full power, which mutates into a mobile power-hungry CPU, similar to the GPU from Nvidia. This is where back on a Medion Nvidia GeForce GTX 560M graphics card, as consumption in respect of its predecessor, the 460M, less power for the same power but still above the level of AMD's lies. With CUDA, PhysX and PureVideo graphics card delivers all the common graphic features. DirectX 11 anyway! Very few games make this combination of graphics card and processor to its knees and then only at maximum settings. Better results are obtained then only with more than one graphics card.

Fact is, the performance of the Medion is Erazer X6817 combines incredibly well with the price, but you get a three and a half pound heat problem with a concert fan, that the permanent user is able to endure only under headphones.

Like the Motorola

ET1 was tailored to companies

Software layer to Android while Motorola is also attached to the back of the holder, which houses a clip function for the belt. Overall, the design is quite robust and so the device can also tolerate one or the other shock. The scratch resistance is mentioned but only the gorilla glass display reserved, that it also gives the competitor from Lenovo.

The Motorola

ET1 tried differently than the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet targeted to specialize in large companies and dispensed, for example, on a 3G module for direct Internet access. In ET1, there are only a WiFi module, which should be enough for a corporate network. Multiple users can log on to also have a tablet and its interface can be customized. For the appearance at the customer provides to the 1024 x 600 pixel resolution Vivid display. In the end, but there are the built-in apps from Motorola, which points to know. It will be exciting, such as Motorola would like to promote this market further in the future or whether you want to wait motionless success of the Motorola ET1.

Content hardly different from the other tablets

Dual-core processor at 1 GHz, 8 GB of internal memory and the usual microSD expansion, and the raised camera on the back, which brings 8 megapixels, there is nothing that does not become commercial tablets also already offer. In addition, the 720p HD camera comes on the front for video conferencing. The software is also preinstalled. Three programmable buttons below the display are one of the few points that stand out the tablet from the others. If not for the pre-installed by Motorola range of applications, one would hardly suspect, in effect, that it is an enterprise tablet PC.

Specific prices can

Motorola still missing. It should still start this year.

It's all about the display Sharp Aquos 102SH and 104SH

The Sharp Aquos 102SH

104SH and sparkle with reflective surfaces and not put too much emphasis on a thin structure. For both smartphones are far more comfortable in the user's hand and give one not feel that any time the device in the middle, could break due to its narrow height, at any time. Much more exciting is the brilliant display but anyway, the resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels allows true HD on a cell phone. Thanks to the Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 processor can easily be played back HD content easily on your HD display. With the built-in DLNA interface, you can also wirelessly stream music or videos on the home TV or sound system, insofar as these have the same interface.

Over which technology the 4.5 inch HD display has not known, but it probably involves a simple LCD display. Below the display are three typical Android buttons. Happy with a front-and rear-view camera, the Sharp Aquos 102SH us and 104SH, with the camera on the back is the more interesting of the two.

Megapixel madness and twice Android

A 12 megapixel camera has built in Sharp Aquos in both models. What was for years the only SLR reserved for some time now adorns the top models of digital cameras is now first find in a smartphone. Because there are only optical zoom and allows the light quality rather limited, although one should not expect too much. After all, there's an LED flash below the camera for pictures in dark rooms, outdoor areas, however a useless feature.

The Sharp Aquos 102SH

In Japan is now available from SoftBank. No bank, but as a telecommunications company, Deutsche Telekom and others. This is fitted with Android Gingerbread. In December, followed by the Sharp Aquos 104SH, which is already equipped with both Android Ice Cream Sandwich is delivered. And outside of Japan? This is the part of the company so far nothing has been announced.

Nokia is the Nokia N9 Searay with a new operating system

The Nokia N9 looks like not only to confuse, it is even the same envelope. In the Nokia N9 Searay lies a renamed. Content, it therefore looks very identical. An 8 megapixel camera with dual flash on the back, which is surrounded by a matte casing. Really is the simple but brilliant with curved glass front at the edges. Similar to the concept of the Samsung Nexus S, but also Samsung Nexus Prime is here, the glass slightly curved so as to offer a slightly different viewing experience. Searay when it is more a design feature. The simple design does not even suspect at first glance almost, that it is a Nokia smartphone. Internally is hard to say what Nokia has built into the Nokia Searay. Fact is, the Nokia N9 is a 3.9-inch display with scratch-resistant Gorilla glass and a polarized surface to act antireflection. Installed was a corresponding color AMOLED display for diversity, which dissolved with 854 x 480 pixels in FWVGA mode. It is fairly certain that this will be far to the same screen. One can also assume that Nokia has installed HFC technology, and offer two versions with an integrated memory of 16 GB or 64 is. Why is there no middle solution with 32 GB is still unclear.

Meego on Windows Phone

Because the Nokia N9

Was still a duty production for Nokia, so you could probably also test the design to its customer response. Would the conclusion be negative, the Searay see no means out of the way it does this now. Although one of Nokia can never be so sure. Neither can you know how long it can withstand the Nokia deal with Microsoft after one of his cheap mobile phone division already the next Linux tinkering surface, which is actually also Meego.

When the Nokia

Searay goes on sale and how expensive it is, is yet unpredictable. Equipped with Windows Mobile 7.5 Mango, Microsoft is getting a smartphone for the first time delivered its appearance is suitable for the user.

Technically

Has otherwise not changed much. Same size, same housing, same display, and in general the device is similar to the previous year's model. Worse state for those who like to show on the road that they carry round with the latest iPhone still is. Much more exciting is the new way of communicating with the mobile phone.

Voice control with Siri

There are three new software products to Apple in addition to the presentation of the latest iPhones, the ambition. Besides, there were cards and Siri Find My Friends. Cards allows the sending of greeting cards on your Apple device. The card is then printed for a fee of 2.99 U.S. dollars in the U.S. and $ 4.99 worldwide. Find My Friends is a tracking program that enables the consent of the owner's mobile phone allows them to track from any point on the world map. The primary application area sees the app for Apple iPhones in the hands of children that can be tracked anywhere. Parents can thus immediately verify from where their child is staying. Hard times for youngsters to break as well.

Siri however was compared with the other two applications, a real looker. The personal assistant language can be selected and answered questions by pressing the Home button or executing commands. These attacks Siri back to the installed apps on the phone, such as the calendar. Appointments can be booked via voice. The weather can be queried from different locations and if you want to plan a trip in the port, Siri will automatically detect the connection. What Siri was the keynote itself was impressive, but during presentations, you never know how it feels at the end of practice. Another disadvantage is the limitation on the Apple iPhone 4S. Older versions have no access to Siri, which is at least as it was incomprehensible to iPhone 4. It is nonetheless understandable, for what reason you would otherwise be buying an iPhone 4S?

The iPhone 4 can already be preordered and will be on 14 October in Germany delivered. The 16 GB version of Apple's iPhone 4S will cost 629 euros without a contract, the 32 GB version and 729 €, the 64 GB model whopping 829 € without contract.

The 7 inch display is an LCD display based on some older DCS technology. PLS provides similarly good results as an IPS display. Inclination angle and brightness were already at the first Galaxy Tab above average. The new display will again be a whole lot better, Samsung promises. Remained the same resolution, at 1024 x 600 pixels for a 7-inch tablet is not bad when you consider that employ most of the 10 inch Android Tablets on the same resolution. Optical has also changed a lot. Starting at the height of which is to be now nearly 1 inch. This also affects the weight and the conclusion is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus featherweight 345 grams

Was visually straightened the back and no longer has the right pleasant curve of his predecessor, which also afforded a better grip. Furthermore, does the back of the device in white, also available in black and gray, unremarkable. To see there are usually only the rear in, rear camera with 3 megapixels unchanged and LED flash. On the front there are the 2 megapixel for video telephony. Can be recorded in HD resolution. Who owns footage in full HD, this can now also play fine on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, one of the few truly new features, not least of which is associated with the updated technology.

Dual-core processor and Android Honeycomb

Thanks to the built

Dual-core processor and a performance of 1.2 GHz per core, the remanufactured Galaxy Tab is the perfect Android gaming handheld with enlarged screen, because games have on the 7 inch screen like last year on the first model made incredibly fun. Samsung offers the necessary space on two models. 16 and 32 GB are available and, unfortunately, not a 64 GB model. Too bad.

The software is consequently an Android update to Honeycomb and Samsung's TouchWiz interface. Price, there are no details yet. But the device is positioned as the best Android tablet by Samsung because the Samsung Galaxy Tab has 7.7 Stop small but very expensive difference of Super AMOLED displays. In addition, Samsung offers the refurbished Galaxy 7.0 is not great more expensive than the current model, which are available starting at 320 € a WiFi version. I'm going for, therefore, a 399 € and 499 € entry level 3G model. These are speculations, however, since Samsung has so far not made any claims for the price. Appearance of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 is still the end of October.

Apply cream or toothpaste

Apply for the First remove scratches from CDs a strip of Disk Repair cream or toothpaste on the radius of the CD or DVD. It vigorously applied quiet, because the cream must be enough for the entire surface of the disk.

Departure of the quad-core tablet with the ZTE D98

The Nvidia Tegra-3 processor with the name Kal-El, Clark Kent aka Superman derived from, and his Kryptonian name, owns four cores clocked at 1.5 GHz are normally per core. Recorded the Quad-Core Tablet ZTE but only 1.3 GHz per core. What exactly is the reason for the lower clock speed should be, is unknown. To assume a power savings would be at maximum load. In addition, there is currently no application that even remotely on the full computing capacity to access and make sense so far proved a magnet for fingerprints. On its front side is joined by a 2-megapixel camera. For the back side there is the usual 5-megapixel model with HD video recording.

ZTE D98: Where can we buy the Nvidia Tegra 3-Tablet

The model shown at the Expo had 16 GB of internal memory and a 4000 mAh battery for an estimated 6 to 8 hours run time. As vague statement about the battery life is so accurate is the information on the availability of the device. Whether ZTE will distribute the T98 itself is not known, nor whether it will be available beyond Asia. It is certain, it is the first quad-core tablet and pave the way for upcoming tablets in the next year by all major manufacturers. For the price there is not much to say, because of falls into the mysteries of this reference unit.

What we now think of it? It is made of plastic. It may not therefore ever be everyone's taste. The screen must have been well fitted for the defense of the drawer for cheap Chinese production and until the release is there even Android Ice Cream Sandwich and no more rooster crows to Android 3.2. Let's hope that the established manufacturers something constructive to make the legs as the ZTE D98.
