Samsung Galaxy S2

In New and upcoming Android devices, amongst which the Samsung Galaxy S2 managed to grab a lot of the attention. The device was announced and introduced by Samsung as being the world’s thinnest smartphone out on the market and once you get a good look at it you’ll see that they aren’t wrong by claiming that.
In the following few rows I’ll try to give you dear readers an overview of the Samsung Galaxy S2 specs. One of the most interesting new features of the Samsung Galaxy S2 is the display, where Samsung stepped up their game by offering a 4.3 inch display ( with a native resolution of 480 x 800 ) while using Samsung’s new Super AMOLED Plus technology…and boy does that make a difference. Images are clear and the whole look of your home screen is changed because of this bump to display quality.
Spec wise the Samsung Galaxy S2 isn’t all looks…it packs a strong punch as well. It ships with a dual-core processor, most likely Samsung’s own Exynos processor line announced a few days ago ( an Nvidia Tegra 2 version has also been confirmed as well as the fact that S2 will come powered by a 1.2 GHz CPU, check the update section at the end of the article ). Memory wise the device will come with 1 GB of RAM and either 16 GB or 32 GB of on board storage which can be extended via a 32 GB micro SD card.
All of the above will be fueled by a 1650 mAh battery which will also deliver juice to the 8 MP rear camera and 2 MP front facing camera. The rear cam will be able to record in full HD at 1080p

On the connectivity front Samsung Galaxy S 2 will bring the standard WiFi 802.11 b/g/n and an USB 2.0 port while running Android 2.3 Gingerbread with the Touchwiz 4.0 User Interface on-top. Out of all the manufacturer UI’s out there I consider the Touchwiz to be the least intrusive, so in case you want a clean Android experience I do suggest looking out for the Samsung Galaxy S2.
The list of Samsung Galaxy S 2 specs doesn’t really stop here…you might remember that I started off by giving a statement regarding the phones thickness. Well hold on folks because these numbers will prove it. The device measures in at 125.3 mm in length, 66.1 mm wide and only 8.49 mm in thickness (that’s 4.93 x 2.60 x 0.33 in inches). In comparison, the iPhone 4 is measuring 9.3 mm in thickness.
Bottom line, the phone looks and feels great and the only thing which stands out on the back of the device is a small hump towards the bottom of it, most likely where the antenna sits

Mobile number portability (MNP) Service In India

 Few things which you must know about MNP:

• You can switch to CDMA to GSM with MNP services.
• MNP for broadband is not available right now.
• Telecom Operators which are providing MNP services Aircel, BSNL, Airtel, BPL Mobile, Idea Cellular, MTNL, Reliance Telecom LTD, Spice, Virgin, Vodafone, Tata Teleservices.
• The Maximum charge of transfer is RS. 19 and it is to be paid to new operator.
• When you are switching from one operator to another, the process generally takes 2 hours so your cell phone will be dead for 2 hours and the process takes place between 10 PM to 5 AM.
• If you switch to another operator then you can switch to next operator after 90 days.
• You need to clear all your dues for your bills from old operator if you want to switch to new one.

 How to change the telecom operator via MNP services:

• You need to send SMS to 1900, PORT < Your Mobile Number >
• You will get an SMS with unique porting code. You need to provide this number to the new operator with a specific time because the code has a expiry time.
• The new operator will check out with existing operator and if existing operator gives you the permission then the process of switching will start.
• Now new operator will claim the number and you can enjoy using the new service provider.
• The process seems to be simple but then also its better that you must get all the reviews about new telecom operator before switching otherwise you again need to wait for 90 days to switch the operator next time.

HTC to enter Tablet Arena with HTC Flyer

HTC is all set to step into the Tablet Arena and show off with a trio of tablets that they’re supposed to launch by mid 2011. The first one of the trio is called as the HTC Flyer, which according to sources will hit stores in March 2011. The tablet will most probably be revealed at the MWC next month, but unfortunately the specifications of this new tablet has already been leaked before the event.  The Flyer is not a very high-end tablet so don’t expect it be running on the new Nvidia Tegra 2 processors and have 120GB of storage. Flyer will most probably feature Android 2.3 with a tweaked Sense UI

  


specification list

• A 7-inch display with a resolution of 1024 x 600
• The Qualcomm MSM8255 1GHz Snapdragon processor same as the one used in HTC Desire HD
• Android Gingerbread 2.3, upgradable to Honeycomb 3.0 when it is released
• 5 megapixel rear camera with face recognition and LED flash and a front 1.3 megapixel camera for Skype Video Calling
• HDMI port with DLNA technology for easy and fast streaming of videos and music
• HSPA enabled, download speeds of up to 14.4Mbps and uploads of 5.76Mbps
• Probably a new version of the HTC Sense UI Interface

sleek Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX100V

Sony in March will begin shipping a bunch of new Cyber-Shot digital camera, all quality but the camera in this post is the most special. Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX100V is the name of the incoming special digital camera. Now the TX100V looks great –Sony has outfitted the camera with their cool sliding front-panel design– but it’s looks aren’t what make it special, it’s the features.

The TX100V boosts a 16.2 MP Exmor R CMOS image sensor (back side illuminated sensor), 4x optical zoom wide-angle lens, a large 3.5-inch OLED touchscreen rear-display, Full HD 1080p and 1080i video capture, Stereo microphone, on-camera HDMI output, SDXC memory card support, 2D and 3D Sweep Panorama shooting. To simplify all of that, this camera has everything you could put into a point-and-shoot camera of this size, the TX100V measures 17.8mm thin and weights just 147g.

Sony will be launching the Cyber-Shot DSC-TX100V in three color options Black, Red and Silver.

Samsung ST6500 digital camera

Samsung intends to break new ground with their ST6500 digital camera, where it will sport a design which is not only pleasing to the eyes, but ergonomic to hold as well. Sure, you won’t be able to get carpal tunnel syndrome from using a digital camera, but anything that fits into the palm of your hand in an easier fashion or manner is definitely worth looking at, don’t you think so?
The ST6500 takes an unconventional approach as it has an angled design, where the camera’s body is curved around the lens and angled at 7 degrees to make for a more ergonomic fit in the hand. This is certainly innovative thinking, taking a good step away from the conventionally designed models that currently flood the market. In essence, the overall design helps ensure that creative images are perfectly captured, and you are guaranteed to make a style statement at any social event whenever you pull this puppy out from your bag.
Samsung also makes sure that you aren’t left behind in the megapixel race, with the ST6500 sporting a high-quality 16-megapixel sensor which is touted to guarantee crisp and clear images. Of course, megapixels aren’t everything as consumers have found out, so the ability to capture images under difficult and challenging conditions are also important.
Ever tried to shoot photos in low light conditions? You’ll know what we’re talking about, so hopefully the Samsung ST6500 is capable of doing so without too much noise. Other hardware specifications include a powerful 5x zoom lens, a new Smart Touch 3.0 User Interface, a 3.0” multi-purpose LCD touchscreen display, intelligent Smart Auto feature, HD video recording, Magic Frame capability, and advanced Smart Filter 2.0 among others.
You won’t be able to get it anytime soon though, as the Samsung ST6500 will only hit the markets this coming March.

Motorola’s Atrix 4G

Not to get all gushy or anything, but I think one of Harry’s best opinion columns was the one from March 2009 about how smartphones are destined to replace the PC, and how the comforts of full-sized computing — keyboard, mouse, monitor — will become dumb shells for our powerful handsets.

Motorola’s Atrix 4G is an indication that he’s right. The phone itself marks a technological leap, as one of several new Android handsets with dual-core processors, but the real revolution is an optional dock that acts like a laptop when the phone is plugged in. There’s also a separate HD dock for televisions and external monitors, with USB ports for full-sized keyboards and mouses. Ladies and gentlemen: your dumb shells.

When the smartphone is docked, it launches desktop software on the 11.6-inch laptop screen, with a full version of Mozilla’s Firefox browser and Adobe Flash 10.1. If you believe Google’s claim that we spend 90 percent of our computing time in the web browser, the Atrix dock is pretty close to being a complete laptop, and it can use Citrix’s virtualization services to access PC apps through the Internet. The dock software can also access the Android OS, so you can run apps in full screen.

The HD dock feeds 720p video to TVs or external monitors, and while it can access the laptop dock’s software and Web browser, it also has its own multimedia interface for quickly launching movies, music and photos.

Motorola’s Atrix is a potentially harmful development for wireless carriers, because while they’re trying to push more data plans on their users for laptops and tablets, the Atrix is the start of consolidation back to a single device. Why get a 3G netbook if your smartphone’s dumb shell performs almost all the same tasks?

And yet, AT&T will carry the Atrix when it launches this quarter. If AT&T doesn’t muck up the data pricing or charge a fortune for the docks, we might just get a little taste of the future in the next few months.
