LG Nexus 4 E960 Review

Google Nexus 4 is the fourth generations Nexus smartphone, and this time LG has the privilege. The Google Nexus 4 is a smartphone that will continue Android’s march into the mainstream not only as an alternative to Apple iPhone but also as a desirable platform in its own right.

Google Nexus 4 is armed with the latest version of Google’s Android software and if you are looking for an Android smartphone then there is no reason not to buy this smartphone except with some nagging issues. Furthermore, the price tag the Nexus 4 comes with is either extremely aggressive (if you get it from Google) or fairly good (if you get it from other retailers) this can help the Nexus making a big impact in 2013. Size wise, the Nexus 4 is somewhat similar to its predecessor as it comes in at 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1 mm, however, it is far more stunning to look at and hold as compared to its predecessor.

Talking about the screen it is invisible when off but when you light it up, you will be treated with a 4.7 inches of True HD IPS Plus beauty. The screen with 768 x 1280 pixels along with a pixel density of 318 is razor sharp, colors look truly stunning, icons and text are razor sharp and everything floats without a glitch.

Nokia Lumia 920 Review

It is the high time for Nokia where it cannot care less. The time when Nokia decided to start pushing out Windows Phones, it was a big deal for the company and the company did not do it half-heartedly either.

One can compare it with Android’s most popular high end the Samsung Galaxy S III that offers a quad- or dual-core processor, depending on the region, and a high-res AMOLED display, flaunting camera of the same resolution as the Lumia 920.

With the Lumia 920, the company tries to stay relevant on top of the heap of other smartphone makers making it big in the industry. But, we need to see if is good enough despite the fact that company claimed it to be a flagship device. Well let’s see whether this Lumia 920 is going to live up to the expectations.

However, seeing the success of the Note, Samsung did realize that there should be an inevitable sequel of the Note. Thus, a year later the Samsung Galaxy Note II was introduced.

Samsung Galaxy Note II is one of the most talked about smartphones in the market, and it is sometimes also called as a ‘Phablet’ (half smartphone, half tablet). The Galaxy Note II boasts a quad-core Exynos processor, twice the RAM, a brand new screen with an even larger display, a bigger battery and a whole new bag of S Pen tricks.

LG Optimus L9 P760 Review

Furthermore, there are some other customizations as well that LG has included in Android or you can say “Ice Cream Sandwich”, and these customizations include themes, menus and icons as well. Even, users can change or replace every icon in LG’s Android overlay. In addition to this, application menu shortcut can also be moved and this is something that we all wish for on Samsung’s smartphones. The dock can take a maximum of six shortcuts which is a nice enough feature.

It can be said that with Optimus lineup LG has silently begun to make a name for it. The company has clearly stated with its Optimus lineup that it is not afraid in pushing limits of technology. One more thing that we have not seen in prior phones is the neat ability to edit the quick settings power control available in the top drop-down for Android. With this, users can select whatever they want to be shown and can also move it around, and generally make your menu controllers show up to eleven different items, or just the few you want to quickly switching things on and off.

We all know that Samsung is not only a manufacturer of digital compact cameras but it has also become one of the most important as well as successful player in the Android smartphone market. This is part of the reason as why this Galaxy Camera from Samsung is the best and very interesting Android powered camera we have ever seen before.

The Samsung Galaxy Camera essentially offers the features and performance of the Samsung Galaxy SIII when you use it as a mobile device. The device does not offer the ability to place voice calls in addition it lacks the front facing camera as well. On the other hand, it is possible to voice chat via Skype or similar apps. Samsung-specific sharing and backup options are already pre-installed in the Samsung Galaxy Camera and third party solutions are also available for example Dropbox and Amazon Cloud Photos. With these solutions, users are allowed to share their photos and upload them to the cloud right after they have been captured.

Samsung has made lots of remarkable and eminent handheld devices in its time, and some of them have reached iconic position. The company constructs its success on great flexibility, an eye for trends and a flair for improving on others' efficacious formulas. And yet, from time to time it pulls off a truthfully inspirational device - like the Galaxy Note last year.
