Costea Lestoc — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:46:57 +0000

UPDATE: Samsung Galaxy S Advance i9070 was officially announced and is ready for release during February.

Samsung presents an improved version of the popular Galaxy S i9000 Smartphone model.

Samsung GT-I9070 Galaxy S Advance welcomes us with a refreshed design, which includes a curved screen to use more natural touch interface and 3.5 mm jack connector for attaching your favorite headset. But the piece of resistance is its dual-core at 1 GHz, which raises the performance of Galaxy S Advance at a competitive level to the beginning of the year 2012.

Included first for Galaxy S series, the dual-core processor open new options for the Android operating system, delivered on version 2.3.6 Gingerbread for now, but with the prospect of upgrading to the version Ice Cream Sandwich.

The remaining specifications are almost unchanged from the original i9000 Galaxy S with a 4 inch screen that uses the same Super AMOLED matrix at 480×800 pixel resolution and on its back is also a 5MP camera with 720p resolution recording mode. The Li-Ion 1500 mAh capacity is kept unchanged so that we can expect a slightly reduced autonomy for GT-I9070 and the dual-core processor with slightly increased power consumption.

Motorola Droid Bionic – Details

Costea Lestoc — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 14:20:29 +0000

Motorola and Verizon Wireless showed off the first smartphone Droid Bionic at CES 2011. Now, almost nine months later, this high-speed smartphone finally hit the market. It was the first phone to run on Verizon’s 4G network, but it just might be best.

Verizon says taht Motorola Droid Bionic is the thinnest 4G phone, measuring just 0.43 inches thick. It’s a bit bulky side, though, as Bionic Droid stands 5 cm tall by 2.6 inches wide. That’s just about the same size as the Motorola Sprint 4G photon, and is big enough to make a very small aspect iPhone 4 in comparison. As 4G Photon, weighs 5.6 oz Bionic Droid.

While they are the same size, Bionic Droid and 4G Photon are significantly different in shape. If the Photon 4G sports an angular look, Bionic Droid is a more traditional rectangular phone. That’s not a bad thing, however: his face shining glass, slightly curved edges and soft-touch back gray, Bionic Droid is beautiful.

The front screen of the phone is dominated by its 4.3-inch qHD, which has a resolution of 960 by 540 pixels. Screen is certainly large and very bright – is equipped with a coating that makes it easier to see outdoors – text and images looked beautiful clear. But even with high resolution, this screen can not compare with the iPhone Display retina. When viewed side by side, text and images on the Droid Bionic slightly pixilated and grainy were compared with their looks good on display iPhone 4.

Below the display, Droid Bionic has four touch sensitive buttons: menu, home, back, and search. Like the touch screen itself, the buttons are nicely responsive – and they are more attractive than physical buttons that some Android phones such as Samsung Conquer 4G sport.

Bionic Droid includes some standard fare media, such as a basic media player, access to Amazon MP3 downloads, and a YouTube application. You also NFL Mobile App, which allows you to watch live video, access fantasy teams, and more. In addition, phone support DLNA so you can connect to compatible devices such as set-top box.

What’s even more impressive, however, is included in the phone application ZumoCast. It provides remote access to files stored on your PC. When you run the application on your phone and PC at the same time, you can access content wirelessly from your desktop, including documents, photos, videos, music and playlists right on your phone. It is an incredibly convenient way to share content between devices.

Costea Lestoc — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:36:37 +0000

Samsung S5660 Galaxy Gio can be easily considered as the younger brother of the first successful phone Galaxy series, produced by Samsung that the Samsung Galaxy S. If SGS brought a high-performance processor, even when writing this article, along with a special screen or not leave Gio outdone, the processor is clocked at 800 MHz, and the screen, even if it is not Super AMOLED , has good quality, even in direct sunlight.

It can be used in GSM networks, the connection being made quickly. However, the first use is automatically detected by the telephone network, and if you have activated the card you get instant internet settings for connection as soon as possible. On the Internet is compatible with both EDGE and 3G standards, living area is one where 3G works occasionally, not a constant signal, EDGE maintaining permanent.

If we talk about connecting to the Internet, it must be said that we can connect to wireless networks through a variety of standards such as 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11 n. We were able to almost instantly make a connection wireless network in about 2 seconds.

Bluetooth transfer of files stored locally offers, in addition to support for Bluetooth, is an advantage, some smartphones, originating in California, requires a special application for transferring files. Speed is decent in 30 seconds transferring 8 photos on another phone. Synchronization with PC or Mac files can be done via Micro-USB cable included Samsung Kies application.

Samsung Galaxy Gio has Android Froya as operating system, version 2.2.1, over the people at Samsung have put their own interface, TouchWiz 3.0, making intuitive OS of those from Google, and easily to use.
We have 3 virtual screens, each of which can be personalized with widgets. We also have the option to change the background image or wallpaper with a static or live with one, the latter being an option for those who want a special background, the disadvantage is speed battery discharge.

I think that the phone can be a great tool for entertainment, socializing and efficiency, lacking a few features to get in top class phones, but having the basic ones needed.
