Top Five Upcoming Phones for this Fall

Overview:

So you’re looking to buy a new cellular phone for yourself (maybe even your girlfriend or boyfriend), eh? Well, what if we told you to hold your horses for some more time and resist the temptation of letting loose the weight on your pockets (not too hard a task unless you are a spoilt brat). Nevertheless, with 4G made use of by a number of carriers and manufacturers, a wide variety of some of the most promising phones has been announced. To be honest, there is quite a LOT lined up ranging from Ice Cream Sandwiches (Android 4.0) to Mangoes (Microsoft Windows 7 Phone) [life certainly seemed to be a lot simpler when Apples, Mangoes and Ice Creams were only just eatables]. We, therefore, bring you this special edition on the five upcoming phones releasing later this year, hence we invite you to read on.

1. Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S

Quite similar to how Samsung has been playing its cards immaculately well, Sony Ericsson has not done too bad at all this year; infact, it turns out that almost all Sony Ericsson Xperia phones released in the recent past enjoyed a great response from all and sundry. Following Sony’s relatively older announcement that was based around the idea of updating all the latest Sony Ericsson Xperia phones to Android 2.3.4 that brought with itself a world of goodies. Now comes the genuinely awesome part: earlier today, Sony decided to go an extra mile and confirmed that all the Xperia phones will be updated to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. With all these latest developments, Sony’s recently announced Android OS v2.3 (Gingerbread) phone, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, seems to be stepping in the limelight at a steady pace. Expected in the final quarter of 2011, Xperia Arc S is an 8 Megapixels auto focus snapper with LED flash that is expected to come equipped with a 4.2 inches LED-backlit scratch resistant  LCD. The 1.4 GHz Scorpion processor, Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine and more importantly and the new Honeycomb OS version (Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich) will certainly beef up this peach of a device (if all goes well and Sony doesn’t try anything ‘cocky’ that is).

P.S: The newly announced OS (Ice Cream Sandwich) is said to include various NFC options, Xbox Kinect-like feature called Virtual Camera Operator, USB hub support, and so on.

2. Nokia N9

The Nokia N8 had its fair share of praise and criticism following its release. The Nokia N9 starts off from where the Nokia N8 left and dons a premium-quality hard plastic finish (something that most people would not mind too much, we suspect). The magnificent 3.9 inches AMOLED display will be the main attraction for Nokia N9, besides the foremost significant factor of bringing the all-new MeeGo OS, v1.2 Harmattan to this very device for the very first time. The new user interface looks and performs well and we can safely assume that a leap of faith from Maemo to a new OS possibly could not have been bigger. User-friendly and fluid within itself, the new MeeGo OS promises to offer good support to the Nokia N9 device. It is a little too early to comment on applications and certain other goodies for the phone until its release but there are a few noticeable ones that are worth mentioning here. The gorgeous AMOLED display coupled with 1GHz Cortex A8 CPU will allow for some fluid web browsing experience for sure. Some great names like Angry Birds Magic (NFC), Galaxy on Fire 2 and Real Golf 2011 have already been announced for MeeGo OS; hence, it would be interesting to see how all of this unfolds as the release date of Nokia N9 draws nearer and nearer.

3. Samsung Galaxy Note

Whatever Samsung does these days, it seems to do pretty well. Like an Osain Bolt in a 200-metre marathon race, Samsung is playing the part of a pace-setter, magnificently well. With some handsome inductions like 4G and Super AMOLED Plus screen technology, the latest Samsung handsets never really failed to impress. Following the success of the recently released Galaxy S series, Samsung Galaxy Note is right around the corner. As expected, the phone promises high quality presentation and performance as this beauty is said to don a 5.3 inches Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, an 8 Megapixels autofocus camera with LED flash and 2Megapixels secondary camera, Android OS v2.3 (Gingerbread), Dual-core 1.4GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor and various other amenities that really make for a great all-round performer.

4. HTC Titan

As you would most probably acknowledge, HTC is renowned for infusing extra bit of style and design in its cellular phones than most manufacturers out there. Announced in August this year, the HTC Titan will come with a reasonably big (4.7 inches) S-LCD capacitive touchscreen and a powerful 1.5 GHz Scorpion processor, both of which will make viewing videos and browsing the web a boon. Like most new touchscreen phones, the phone will come with an 8 Megapixels autofocus camera with LED flash but the most significant bit about the phone is that it will be one of the first to home the all new Windows Phone 7 Mango OS. We are seriously hoping that HTC will not let us down and will not at all turn out to be a be a bad port for the new OS (afterall, all things in life require a grand beginning).

5. Motorola Pro

We genuinely believe there has been too much centre-stage offered to giant touchscreen hunks, which is why we decided to include a qwerty smartphone. Oh yes you got that right, Motorola Pro is the name of the game (not literally). Announced for late 2011, this 3.1 inch smartphone looks very promising with a nice and slick design and some ouch sensitive controls. The 5 Megapixels camera with dual LED flash and 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor certainly make the phone sound like a mini powerhouse. Designed for Android OS v2.2 (Froyo), Motorola Pro really does seem to be shaping up as a powerful competitor for its predecessors and other related phones of its stature.

Top Five Applications for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Posted on by

Let us face it, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is arguably the best Android tablet out there. Yes it has its fair share of drawbacks, but then again no device comes without a few or more than just a few shortcomings. Maybe that is a market policy, who are we to argue?

Whether it is the best or not is beyond the point at the moment as there have already been quite a few discussions regarding this all over the Internet. One thing is for sure though, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 brings better multitasking, better reading, better web browsing and music experience to the table. By the way, do not be mistaken: we say better so as to imply better than most, and not the best (Just a cautionary measure before you start to get the impression that we are here to start yet another tablet war).Since the Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 is just such a darling of a tablet, let us share with you a list of five worthy Android Honeycomb applications to try on your Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.  Here goes:

Opera Mobile 11

Since we have already established that the Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 does a sweet job of bringing better quality of web browsing the table, Opera Mobile 11 has got to be the real deal in this regard. The Opera Mobile 11 is an alternative browser alright, but rest assured that you would easily prefer this over your standard web-browser. Being a fully-compatible Honeycomb version, Opera Mobile 11 delivers a satisfying web browsing experience on the move with better functionality and certainly better speeds.

Quickoffice Pro HD

Quickoffice Pro HD

Although it comes with a hefty price tag of $16.99, Quickoffice Pro HD comes well equipped to justify its relatively high price (no violence featured). For those of you who love to create, access and share Word, Excel, and Powerpoint documents on the go, Quickoffice Pro HD is really a peach of an application to have.

Since Quickoffice Pro HD is a cloud-based Office suite you may feel free to hook up your Google Docs, Dropbox, Box, or MobileMe accounts to Quickoffice. To add a little bit more spice to the already scrumptious, speech recognition has also been added as part of key features of this very application. What this means is,  if you aren’t comfortable with typing or who knows maybe you are stuck with some thankless favours like baby-sitting for example, and/or you don’t have a bluetooth keyboard, you may enjoy dictating blocks of text.

Drawing Pad
Drawing Pad

When it comes to drawing applications for the Honeycomb devices, there are quite a few names in the market but none of them really impressed as much as the Drawing Pad. So what is so different about the Drawing Pad, that is the question. Well, this fancy drawing application dons a very adorable interface, unlike most. Selection of all sorts of drawing tools seems very life-like and really infuses a wonderful experience. Having said that, if the user wishes to paint using a brush a drawer opens that contains various colour-daubed brushes. Likewise, upon selecting colour pencils, a drawer full of colour pencils opens up before the user. All in all, the layout is pristine and undoubtedly, adds the element of fun and excitement to drawing.

Electrum

Electrum

Electrum is one Android application that can not go unnoticed by genuine music lovers. Being lightweight and very much affordable, Electrum manages to impress with a barrage of plug ins and satisfying music experience. Although the application is not designed for dedicated hardcore music fans; yet, it instills a true feeling of music and would suffice, nine out of ten times (on average), by providing the ability to build your own sample music set and then sequence it. It is worth mentioning here that a User Interface overhaul for the Honeycomb tablets has already been released.

Angry Birds Rio

Angry Birds Rio

Angry Birds Rio requires no introduction really (Hopefully, that won’t anger the birds any more). It won’t be wrong to say that Angry Birds Rio is Citizen Kane of mobile gaming, which has now been ported to Honeycomb tablets. We are pleased to state that the Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 handles the game, smoothly. In the main, Angry Birds delivers as beautiful an experience on the Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 (Honeycomb) as it did on its predecessors.

My friend Taimur bought a Samsung Galaxy S II some days ago, which is by far the most awesome smartphone that I have seen so far. As I also plan to get a hand on this device in the near future, I have already started keeping an eye on its updates and functions, and recently I saw that some guys at DarkyRoom got their hands on the new version of Android 2.3.4 which was leaked out.

This leaked version works perfectly on Samsung Galaxy S II. So if you have one, you can install a leaked Android 2.3.4 today with out waiting for the official release of Android 2.3.4. This new update of 2.3.4  is minor update to 2.3 Gingerbread and it only brings new features like Voice and Video calling to Google Talk while it also improves battery life.

Before taking you through the step-by-step guide, let me tell you:

This ROM installs without wiping your data, if you want to wipe, put a folder/file called “wipe” inside /sdcard/Darky folder.(Do not use wipe/factory reset from CWM!)
If you want to experience a lighter and faster version (lots of apps removed) create file/folder “no-samsung” inside /sdcard/Darky folder

Samsung Galaxy SII – Review

Posted on by
Reply

The Samsung Galaxy S is one of the best smartphones in the market.  It is widely acknowledged that the Samsung Galaxy S is the smartphone which brought Samsung back in the reckoning. Apple knows that it has to compete with Samsung’s range of Android smartphones. Apple may have a best seller on its hands with the iPhone but then Samsung is not so far behind with its range of Galaxy Smartphones.

The latest Smartphone on the block is the Samsung Galaxy S II. The Samsung Galaxy S II is available in a few regions around the world. The only catch is that some regions will only get the Galaxy S II with a Super LCD screen while some will get them with the Super AMOLED screen. We were lucky enough to get our hands on a test unit of the Samsung S II for a review. Let’s just say that the phone was better than we expected and has the potential to be an iPhone killer. Despite the fact that Apple has launched a lawsuit against Samsung and vice versa there is a 100 percent guarantee that the smartphone wars have heated up. The Samsung Galaxy S II is the worthy successor to the Samsung Galaxy S.

Hardware

The best thing about the Samsung Galaxy SII has a huge 4-inch Super AMOLED screen. The resolution of the screen is so sharp and so beautiful that one can stare at it for hours. The Super AMOLED screen is pure eye candy, crystal clear and does not have show any graininess.  I was amazed to see that the phone is quite slim and light despite having a huge screen. The benefit of having a huge screen is that everything looks brighter and bigger while the text looks very sharp. It is a no brainer that a phone with such an advanced screen requires a high end processor to meet its demands.  The Samsung Galaxy SII is powered by a 1.2 Ghz DualCore Exynos chipset, has 1 GB of Ram and is powered by a  powerful Nvidia GPU. The hardware specs are great enough to give you a smooth smartphone experience.  The advanced processor is good enough to play HD games but then there aren’t many HD games available for the Android Platform. However this does mean that there won’t be any games available in the future as developers have HD games under development.

The phone has a beautiful physical home button along with a left and back key.  There is also a volume control on the left and a power lock button on the right. These are the only physical controls on the Samsung Galaxy S II as the rest of the controls can be managed via the touch screen.  There is also a microUSB port on the phone which supports HDMi with the help of the right adapter cable. The phone has an 8 megapixel camera with an autofocus feature. The Samsung Galaxy SII also supports HD videos up to 1080p at 30 fps which is quite an amazing feat. However the only problem is that shooting at such a high resolution caused the battery of the phone to drain faster. There is also a 1.3 front facing camera for video calls. The video capture quality is good but will not work well if there is not enough light.

It also supports microSD cards up to 32 GB of storage. This is amazing because this means that one can add more storage to the phone. The Samsung SII comes with 16 GB of built in Flash memory and additional memory means that the phone has more value. I wish I could say the same for the iPhone which not only is quite expensive but does not allow for expansion of memory.

The quality of the Samsung Galaxy S II is a vast improvement over its predecessor. The phone does not feel cheap and plasticky. The build quality has improved and it actually feels like one has an expensive smartphone.  It has a beautiful textured back while the screen is immune to huge scratches. The screen is also finger print resistant though I do not recommend using greasy fingers to use the phone.

The phone comes preinstalled with Hubs which are merely an easy way of finding content such as  music, games, ebooks as well as using social media applications.  The games hub comes with options to buy premium games as well as play social games. However the games are not that great or updated as compared to the extensive library available for the iPad.  The social Hub is good as it includes an inbox which will allow you to access your email, your gmail, hotmail, twitter and text messages in one unified manner.  The ebook reader is the default PressDisplay, for news, Kobo for books and Zinio for magazines while the music store gives u access to millions of tracks on 7digital.

Conclusion

Overall the Samsung Galaxy S II is an excellent phone and will provide plenty of competition for the forthcoming iPhone 5 or is it an iPhone 4S as some news outlets speculate. It is a bit on the pricy side but then it has so many excellent features and the performance is so good that one can’t resist buying this phone. The best thing about this phone is that it comes shipped with Android 2.3 and is easily rootable as it comes with an open bootloader. I would definitely recommend this phone to all those people who want a quality Android smartphone. Samsung has truly changed the rules of the game with their latest phone.

Rooting Nexus S To Android 2.3.3

Posted on by
Reply

This is a simple guide on how one can go around to rooting Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) on Samsung Nexus S.  Please do note that this is the best way of handling it if you have not received your 2.3.3 Android update via your carrier. This guide will allow you to go through the manual process of updating the Nexus S to 2.3.3.

(This process can go either way so it would be a good idea to backup all the data on the phone before using the guide).

The first thing you need to do is to download the Android 2.3.3 SDK installer for Windows from this location. You can choose from both zip and exe file for the download (however it is recommended that you download the exe file as it’s faster).

Please install the Java SE Development Kit for Windows as you won’t be able to install the Android SDK without it. The Java SE Development Kit can be downloaded from here. Install the Java SE Development Kit and then install the Android 2.3.3 SDK using the default preferences.

Open the SDK Manager after the installation is complete and use the available packages option. You will be presented with a number of choices over there. Choose the options:

Google USB Driver Package, Revision 4

Galaxy TAB by Samsung Electronics., Android API 8, revision 1

Check those options and click on the Install Selected button to download and install the chosen packages.

If you have 32-bit Windows you can find your package

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk

If you have a 64 bit version of Windows you can find it here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk

In order to proceed you need to go and set the path variable in Windows. Go to Start, then click on RUN and then type the command “sysdm.cpl” without the quotation marks. Inputting this command will open the system properties window.

Go to the advanced tab and choose the environmental variables tab. Then go to the systems variable path and click on the edit button. This will bring up a new Edit System Variable window.

If you use the  64-bit Windows then enter the value:

;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools

If 32-bit Windows:

;C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools;C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools

Please make sure you have input the proper Path variables otherwise it won’t work. Go to the Command prompt and type fastboot or adb to see if you have entered the right values.

Steps to Root Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread on Nexus S:

Connect your Nexus S to the computer via USB cable and then  select the USB debugging option from the menu.  Choose the option by going to the Menu, then settings, then Applications and then development where you can find the USB debugging option.

Open the command prompt in Windows by entering “cmd” via Run. Then enter the following command to verify if your device is connected or not.

fastboot devices

If the device is connected then you can use the following command to unlock the bootloader of the Nexus S device.

fastboot oem unlock

 

The next step would be to download the ClockworkMod Recovory image for Nexus S from here. Place the image file in the tools directory  of the Android SDK. Then navigate to the Android SDK directory in the command prompt so that you can enter the following command:

fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img

Enter the command and wait for the recovery process to boot up. Use the volume keys in your phone to highlight an option while you can use the power button to select it.

Go ahead and choose the Mounts and Storage options. Then select  the mount USB storage option. Windows will automatically do its job and detect the phone as a USB storage device.

Next Download the  Superuser zip file for Nexus S from here and then place it in the root directory of the Nexus S’s storage system. Unmount your Nexus S after the file is copied by selecting the unmount USB storage on your phone by going to the mount/system option. Then select the go back option so you can go to the menu.

Click on the installzip option from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard option. Go to the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip and click YES to root your phone.

This means that your Nexus S will have been rooted at this point.  However if you reboot your phone the phone’s system will try to replace Clockwork Mod Recovery. In order to prevent this from happening, you must do the following

  • Reboot your Nexus S so that it starts afresh.
  • Go to the Android Market and Download and install Root Explorer app.
  • Open Root Explorer and go to the  “ etc “directory
  • Select  the gray box that says Mount R/W
  • Select and hold on the file install-recovery.sh and rename this file to install-recovery.sh.old
  • After you have renamed it download and install the app called ROM Manager from Android Market
  • Once installed, open ROM Manager app and choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option.

Thats it! Now you should have fully rooted Nexus S on Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread with ClockworkMod Recovery installed on it.

Yet Another Gadget? Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Posted on by
1

The Tablet wars are heating up as every major vendor has stepped into the gadget fray. Motorola came up with its version of the Tablet called the Motorola Xoom while HP announced its Tablet which would run on Web OS. The only other announcement left was from Samsung and Apple. So far Apple has not yet formally announced or introduced the iPad 2.

Samsung has come up with its new Tablet to challenge the likes of Motorola Xoom (Even though it also runs on Android) and Apple’s forthcoming iPad 2.They revealed their  Second Generation Android Tablet at the Mobile World Congress 2011 yesterday. The new tablet has been dubbed the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and will feature a larger screen than the previous Samsung Tab. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will have a proper   10.1-inch WXGA (1,280×800-pixel resolution) touch screen. It will also run on  Android 3.0 Honeycomb and will give users the Google Experience. The Google Experience means that users will be able to get OS updates on time instead of simply relying on Samsung’s TouchWiz which will delay the updates.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be powered by the Nvidia Tegra 2 (which is a dual core processor). This means that the Samsung Tab 10.1 will ensure a faster browsing experience, better games and great performance. It will also support proper 1080p HD video recording. It will also feature an 8-megapixel camera in the back and a 2-megapixel camera in the front for video calls. The camera will ensure that the playback performance will be at 30fps for playback and 24 fps for recording.

It will be a quad band Android Tablet and will support GSM as well as HSPA+. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 also has support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1. The good thing about it is that it is light and thin and only weighs 1.32 pounds. The only problem is that it comes with a cheap looking plastic metallic covering. It has a rugged texture in the back so one won’t drop it but then it also gets heated up really fast. The latest version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be available in both 16 GB and 32 GB models.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be available this Spring in both Europe and Asia. Samsung has not announced a CDMA model nor has it revealed when the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be available in the US. Whether it is yet another gadget or something worth being called an iPad contender remains to be seen.

Samsung Galaxy S2 of Your Dreams

Posted on by

Due to the rumored collaboration between Google and Samsung, the Samsung Galaxy S2 is creating waves even before it has been announced. Oh, no I mean the Nexus S. Er, or maybe the Nexus 2? The guesses about the name of this offspring from the alliance between Google and Samsung are as speculative as are its specs.

Blogs and news sites have issued what they think of as possible specs for the Galaxy S2. These rumored specs show the Galaxy S2 has everything from an 8 megapixel camera to running the Android 3.0 aka Gingerbread.

Now, I could sit here and start shooting off all kinds of specs that I “wish” my dream phone would have because; all we have on the Samsung Galaxy S2 are rumors. Half-baked rumors too, at that.

This “Geek’s Dream” Samsung Galaxy S2 might have the following specs:

  • Android 3.0
  • 8 megapixel camera (plus HD video recording)
  • Accelerometer
  • Gyroscope and proximity
  • 1 GB RAM
  • 4GB ROM
  • 32 GB storage (slots for microSD cards up to 32 GB)
  • 2 GHz CPU
  • 4.3 inch SAMOLED2 display
  • Bluetooth 3.0
  • WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
  • A-GPS

Whether this is the Samsung Galaxy S2, the Nexus 2 or the Nexus S remains to be seen. The rumors further state that the phone may be released in the first quarter of 2011.
