Samsung The Giant Of Korean will apparently already in early 2013 to introduce its next flagship smartphone with Android. Now are a first indication before a date for the launch event of the Samsung Galaxy S 4.
Last Month i have discussed about samsung galaxy s4 rumors. But Now i will give the update news. The 'Mobilegeeks' blog claims to have learned from an Asian "Samsung insider," Samsung plans for the period of the Mobile World Congress 2013, a private launch event for the Samsung Galaxy S 4. Whether the mobile exhibition will held in the 25th to 28 February in Barcelona, itself serves as an opportunity or it is a separate event, should be currently still open. Android is good
Also the date for the expected release date wants to have find out. Delivery of the new phone is supposed to be currently scheduled for the middle of the second quarter of the 2013th Specifically, this would mean that Samsung in May with the sale of the successor to the highly successful Samsung Galaxy S3 will begin.
For hardware features of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 are below the previously hardly any information. Market observers believe that the Koreans want to equip their new top model with an ARM Cortex-A15 processor of its own production, which comes from the Samsung Exynos 5-series that the Google Nexus 10 is first used.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Release Date At Februaty ?
In addition, there is speculation about the use of a nearly five-inch AMOLED display. A few days ago it was said that Samsung will at the CES 2013 in January to present a different screen. This is supposed to be a Super AMOLED display with 4.99-inch diagonal, in which a full HD resolution of 1920x1080 pixels is used.
Rumors that Samsung will react with the launch of its Galaxy S4 to a early start of an improved iPhone 5 seem not to confirm the availability of the S4 in May. Apparently, Samsung does not respond time and only once on the speculation surrounding the introduction of an iPhone "5S" in the first quarter of 2013.
A few more months will it take then the Samsung Galaxy S 4 will comes on the market, at least that's the assumption. We'd like to think that the Korean company will not contribute the Galaxy S3 or so, but the number of high-end flagship will continue as usual. the five-digit designation from the smartphone model, which denotes partial bit clearer the exact model was not always in a logical order. So the Galaxy S was the I90XX, the Galaxy S2 and the I91XX the Galaxy S3 I93XX said. Sure, the third version in the Galaxy S 3 smartphone fits better, but it would actually have to pay the I92XX, but here it was the Galaxy Nexus previously. For you that don't know about the rumor of galaxy s4, in my previous post i have discuss about Galaxy S4 will release at end of february (rumor)
What I mean by that? It's not entirely surprising that apparently the name I94XX is not intended for the Galaxy S 4, for the first time, a device called Samsung GT-I9400 is a benchmark showed up, which is equipped with an older Mali 400 GPU and a WVGA display. So certainly by its specification should not become theGalaxy S4, right? It is also possible that only individual components are tested as the camera of the Galaxy S 4, the individual unmasked by the benchmark older modules so may safely be ignored. Android is good
News about Samsung GT-I9400
Ultimately, we can see from the data that it will probably give a device called "GT-I9400". Currently remains unclear to what is device it is.
So the conclusion is Samsung GT-I9400 maybe is not the Galaxy s4 because from the benchmark result, the graphic is didn't show if those smartphone have the better quality than the galaxy s3.
The Samsung developers is currently work hard to make update for their smartphone models. And if their job have finished Samsung Galaxy S Advance will get the Android 4.1 update. The samsung developers always give the best that they can, So their smartphone will gets the Android 4.1 update. Android is good
We all know that This year samsung have already released android 4.1 update for theri flasgship model. The first model that gets the android 4.1 update is Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Samsung GALAXY Note 2 and a few other devices will also receive the update soon, it should appear for the Samsung GALAXY Note and the Samsung Galaxy S2, later this year. And last night, Samsung has announced on Facebook that the will released The Jelly Bean update for another smartphone.
Actaually Samsung Galaxy S Advance wasn't expected to get the Jelly Bean update this year. This update will make the phone will improve the feature and can enjoy the goodness of many feature. for more details about the feature you can read Android Jelly Bean New feature. But we can see that samsung have said it on facebook:
"Dear fans, more and more devices will now receive the update to Android Jelly Bean. Even the Galaxy S I9070 Advance receives this and in January on gravel or over-the-air are available."
Galaxy S Advance Will Receive Android 4.1 on January
One can assume that samsung on this update didn't mention wether it is Android 4.2 update or not. Well, i think it is rather the Android 4.1.1 than Android 4.1.2 update to the Samsung GALAXY S Advance. Nevertheless will probably all users of the smartphone now looking forward to January!
The upgrade of specifications on android smartphone is continues! Next year was thought that probably all major manufacturers will implemented a quad-core processor block in their smartphones flagships model, as the 8 core processors for smartphones come into play. The first smartphone that comw with 8 core processors in the world perhaps could become a model of ZTE from China. The previously news from Mediatek mentioned that the ZTE Apache allegedly received an 8 core processor.
Quad-core CPU in a smartphone?t. As was known now, ZTE plans with the previously mentioned model Apache for the beginning of 2013, the first 8 core smartphone in the world. The SoC, which is named MT6599 should be manufactured in a 28 nm process, and then in May in ZTE Apache will celebrate its premiere release.Android is good
ZTE Apache Specdifications
But that will probably not be the only highlight at ZTE Apache. In addition, the smartphone will probably get a 1080p Full HD display, a 13mp camera, and connectivity for WCDMA/4G LTE / TD-SCDMA. If indeed right here seems the next cracker come to China too. ZTE and does not seem to be the only manufacturer with an 8-core processor, Samsung is working on such a CPU.
ZTE WITH 8 CORE CPU SMARTPHONE
I still wondering where are this model coming to. Even with the advent of the quad-core smartphone has been in a discussion about the sense or nonsense of that but Octo-Core? Must be really? The smartphone manufacturers should now prefer to put their energy into improving battery technology, because what the goodness from a smartphone if it is empty after 6 hours?

Of course, this version is still far from a perfect and final, This I9300XXELK4 version is the second Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.1.2 test firmware. Therefore, everything is still a little buggy.

NEXUS 4 FROM EUR 299,00 AVAILABLE IN 13 th NOVEMBER
Today we will discuss about Nexus 10 more completely then engadget.com did. But then I realize that not everyone of English is really powerful and the article from Engadget still need for a few more reviewed, I grasp it here for you together again briefly, at least in their opinion about the Nexus 10, because the technical data can be found here nexus 10 officiall. In this post we also give the nexus 10 review on video.
Impressive Technology
Engadget first had some doubts whether this tablet would suffice the needs of power users. But the dispersed fairly quickly, as they had for a while the Nexus 10 in hand.Android is good, They were impressed by just about every aspect: It is extremely fast and the graphics are pretty much the best they have ever seen. The angle is very good and the individual pixels you almost do not even realize. given the rich resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels and therefore 300ppi hardly a miracle. The "Real True RGB Stripe PLS" display Engadget praises as one of the best at the time.
The Nexus 10 is thinner and lighter than the iPad, but the quality of the workmanship and the materials used should be as far as decent. It is very "soft" and stable feel in the hand, only the back will be quite a fingerprint magnet. Is Samsung's otherwise not sooo very high build quality, so makes the Nexus 10 a solid impression
Software
Also in this case Brad Molen of Engadget no cause for criticism - especially the multi-user support is here underlined twice. Here Google has also borne in mind that different users need different Appeinstellungen, Scores, and the like. But the menu is praised here attributable otherwise typical tablet layout of Android, and is easy to use so much more intuitive.
Criticism?
By Engadget it is not really find. That may or may not necessarily be positive. I miss for example, a model with UMTS module, since a tablet is too sometimes mobile use, and I personally think nothing of it to use my smartphone or even a separate device as a mobile hotspot. The more important point is, though I think the whopping price premium between the 16GB and the 32GB model. $ 100 for 16GB more memory then something is very steep.
Based on the data and the latest statistics released by IDC (International Data Corporation) , the world mobile phone market grew by 2.4% for the third quarter of 2012 (Q312). A total of 444.5 million units of mobile phone marketed by manufacturers - world phone manufacturers in Q312 compared to 434.1 million units of the same period in 2011. This development is driven by the dominance of Samsung and Apple. Here are the Top 5 World's Largest Smartphone Manufacturer in 2012.
Top 5 Largest Smartphone Manufacturer 2012
Based on the data above, the Nokia no longer listed in the Top 5 and an opportunity for vendors such as RIM (Research In Motion), ZTE and HTC to dominate the market. However, Nokia is still felt in second place behind Samsung as the largest producer for the year 2012 (until the third quarter - see data below). As a result of this report concluded that consumers no longer choose the Symbian platform, and they (Nokia) are now in the process of transition from Symbian to Windows Phone platform and to some extent contributed to this situation.
For Samsung, their desire to emerge as the world's largest smartphone manufacturer in 2012 almost a reality after being in second place for the year 2011. For the record, share 31.3% by Samsung for the third quarter of 2012 was the first time that happened since Q409. Improvement in market largely driven by high-end models of their products like the Galaxy SIII .
For Apple, despite the iPhone 5 has been released, their dominance will show significant improvement in the fourth quarter of 2012 as the product has yet to enter most markets in the world.
Conclusion
There is nothing - what I expect other than wait and see if Nokia and RIM (Research In Motion) is able to compete and survive the pressure from competitors - competitors are more aggressive in their efforts to dominate the smartphone world. As a consumer, the existence of the various options is a pleasure and advantage that can not be described with words - words.
From The marketing of HTC One X+, revised version of HTC One X is rising to the main markets and also in the United States you can purchase it by known retailers like amazon.com. It has start the Parallel activation of the distribution channels of the device and has set in motion the machinery of marketing and product promotion. HTC has just released a promo video for htc one x+ dedicated to the new top of the range Android line-up that summarizes the main points of the power of the device and identifies the path chosen for further improving the hardware platform of HTC One X. Android is good
Fundamental Aspect OF HTC One X +
HTC focuses on three fundamental aspects: speed, memory, and battery. HTC One X+ uses a new version of the Tegra 3 SoC with a maximum operating frequency of 1.7 GHz cores. In HTC promo video shows a performance increase of 27% compared to HTC One X. Another important improvement concerns the amount of built-in memory that comes to 64GB. Closes off the main changes the new battery 2100 mAh. Again according to the press release from HTC in the video promo, increased autonomy compared to HTC One X could get up to 50% (this is, of course, of the reported data).
The three main new feature is added then related to the presence of a 1.6-megapixel front camera of higher quality than of the HTC One X.
HTV One X+ Review In Video
The first commercial proposals related to HTC One X +, as we have to bring back yesterday, referring to a price of just over € 600 for the version with 64GB without the memory. This price is in line with other proposals currently on the top of the range Android market and a terminal that, in an absolute sense, can be counted among the best Android smartphone high-end.
Another test highly anticipated by fans of the new devices HTC One X has just been made. We refer to the disassemble of the smartphone, or the procedure to find out what is inside the body content start the terminal, subject to disassembly. The test will not only appreciate the considerable optimization of the space that has allowed the integration of the HTC hardware in a very thin body, but also to assess the degree of difficulty for future disassembly and repair. Interesting to note from the outset that the battery of HTC One X , although it is not removable by the user, in any case can be replaced after removing the device. The data is encouraging for those who, in the future, you ask how to proceed if the built-in battery shows signs of slowing down. Android is good
Disassembled HTC One X picture
The operations / htc one x disassembly procedure that necessary to unmount the device available at this address are in the Chinese language, but the large set of images that accompany it is equally useful to assess the complexity of the operation. HTC One X, as we know, has a monocoque polycarbonate and the first step to proceed to disassembly passes for "extraction" of the display that appears to have been integrated in the shell with a pressure mechanism:
Please see the link below for more information on just above disassembly procedure that, in any case, is reserved for an expert audience and aware of the risks of do-it-yourself repairs. Source
Mugen Power, the famous manufacturer of aftermarket batteries for mobile devices, it may already be working to provide a solution to increase the battery life given to new buyers of a HTC One X smartphone. The solution would nalla marketing a aftermarket kit includes not only the battery with a higher capacity than the original, but also the tools and instructions needed to complete the "transplant battery."
As we have seen, proceed to disassemble the device is not a prohibitive and with the guidance and the right tools provided by Mugen Power this may be within the reach of a larger number of users. The manufacturer seems to be ready to make the kit, but before doing so he decided to ask the opinion of the public. Android is good
Through its official Facebook page the manufacturer has informed its users:
We are looking into making extended batteries for HTC One phones Series That as with internal batteries. An intrusion manual will be provided to the user on how to open the phone and replace the internal battery with our battery with extended capacity. We are trying to achieve enhanced battery for HTC series smartphones One with internal battery. Will be provided to you a manual that will explain how to disassemble the handset and replace the internal battery with our Extended Capacity
Having made the intentions, Mugen Power asked its users with a survey if they were willing to use this type of solution. The results at the time, see prevail percentage of users who are willing to do to replace the battery in a "do-it-yourself". For more details on the survey simply read htc one x disassembly procedure .
Mugen Power is still considering whether or not to initiate the marketing of kit, but if the evidence were to continue to be positive it is possible that in the short, with a minimum of manual work, plus the installation of aftermarket battery for HTC One X will no longer be operation prohibitive. We will keep you informed about this interesting project.
HTC One Explorerer an entry level smartphone marketed by the Taiwanese manufacturer at the end of 2011. The terminal is equipped with 600 MHz CPU and 512 MB of RAM. It is a terminal that has not been widespread in our market and certainly can not be considered a top range of the latest version. Android is good
To give new life to the device always acts as the community of independent developers involved in the development of many custom ROM dedicated to HTC Explorer.
Add caption
One year after the launch of the smartphone, in fact, are available for HTC Explorer porting of popular custom ROM, which offer the chance to try, among other things, the most recent versions of the Android operating system, as well as the latest release Sense UI (4.0 and 4.1).
List Of The HTC One Custom Rom
Another important milestone for the community of developers that confirms a key resource for the ecosystem of Android terminals of HTC. Just scroll quickly through the list of custom ROM available for HTC Explorer to realize that the commitment of developers over the months has been steady. List of htc one custom rom:
There is of course you must have the ability to install a custom recovery, which is essential for various flash the custom ROM. For HTC Explorer has been released of touch TWRP recovery version 2.2.2.0 .
The projects described offer in some cases running ROM with minor bugs in other cases pose additional challenges that require the cooperation of the community (see porting Sense 4.1 and the need to riadattarla risoluzioone 320 x 480 pixels HTC Explorer), others are based in the foundation for the next step of development being in alpha stage.
What is encouraging to note concerns the desire of the developers to overcome the limitations imposed by the manufacturer for technical and commercial reasons. Recall that HTC Explorer was sold with Android 2.3.5 preinstalled and thanks to the projects just mentioned can aspire to much more updated software platforms. Many projects to follow again in the future dedicated to the holders of the entry level HTCAndroid Smartphone.
Finally Another Samsung device Receive Android Jelly Bean update. And at this time is the turn for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. So For You The Owner Of the one of the samsung flasgship device can update to the latest version of android operating System. Then you can feel the joy of the project butter. Android 4.1 official firmware for galaxy Note 10.1 At this moment only available for German via OTA. Or If you want you can also download the firmware from samfirmware.com then manually flash it. The size of firmware file is 300MB. Android is good
The OTA update is about 300 MB in size, has the version number XXBLJ9, brings with it some new features and especially the accelerated system. New features include pop-play, new gestures, cutting out the function of the Galaxy Note II and new pop-up apps.
New features On Galaxy Note Android 4.1

Now, after the Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 receive Android 4.1 Update, in the coming days is likely the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Samsung GALAXY Note finally be honored with Android 4.1. For these two models, the update was indeed also scheduled for November. When the time comes then, here you will find out!
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 since its launch at the IFA 2012 has get some new features, the Samsung also in an official video has been shown for the first time you can see in galaxy note 2 feature video. Android is good,Who, however, belongs to the first buyers of Samsung Galaxy II, might have wondered about the lack of multi-window function.
Who was apparently ready for production after delivery, complementing Samsung this function now via an update. The update to version NL100XXALJ1 allows the use of multiple windows, so a kind of picture-in-picture. So if you ever want to play Angry Birds and watch at the same time in another window a YouTube video / wanted to hear music, this possibility can now easily get on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I am curious if Samsung will buy this function the first or even the Galaxy Note Samsung Galaxy S III. In the following video can be admired about the function at minute 2:03:

We will give Review all of the LG Optimus G full specification details, you can read our expereience about its hardware review and software detail. All generations of Nexus one Smartphones have had many identical with minor differences in hardware components and design. This Optimus G generation does not make exceptions and LG Optimus G is the "brother" of Nexus 4, with the exact same hardware, different design and LG's customizations to Android. Which is why we refer to its review. Nonetheless, Optimus G is a smartphone with a distinct personality and an unparalleled class: elegant, fine, refined design and with a hardware Division that rivals.this perfect and more userfriendly
LG Optimus G Video Review
LG Optimus G Hardware Review
The first thing you notice about LG Optimus G is its design. The lines are unequivocally LG and the design is a refinement of the Optimus 2012 series, with particular reference to Optimus 4 x HD. The lines are clean and basic, with the silver outer frame which acts as a complement and contrast of the display and black bands above and below it. The lines are continuous and uninterrupted and give an elegant look to your smartphone. The word that perhaps best describes him is classyEnglish, which can be translated with "class". Even more so than the Prada Phone, in fact, this smartphone makes the elegance the strong point. At first glance it is inevitable the bewilderment, as well as one can not burst forth in a "wow!".
The materials are very similar to the Nexus 4, with front and back covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 2 that gives a good scratch resistance. The back has the same effect as gatteggiamento already seen on Nexus 4: depending on the angle of the light and angle, in fact, shows a different design. Unlike the Nexus 4 though, where there are several well recognizable patterns that draw recognizable figures on Optimus G we find a series of tiny squares side by side that simply changing degree of rotation.
The LG symbol on the front and back are silver and seem to float just above the floor with the squares.
The physical keys are 3: the power button on the right side and the volume rocker on the left side. Just below the latter we find the removable tray for the micro-SIM. At the top of the smartphone we find the entrance to the 3.5 mm jack, while the bottom is the micro-USB port. The latter can also be used to display content on larger screens such as TV, thanks to the standard MHL.
The hardware is second to none: under the screen with True HD IPS Panel + by 4.7 inches there is a quad-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro operating at a clock frequency of 1.5 GHz, with 2 GB of RAM, a 320 Adreno GPU and 32 GB of internal memory is not expandable. We also find Bluetooth WiFi IEEE 802.11 4.0, b/g/n, GPS, proximity sensor, accelerometer and gyroscope, brightness. Contrary to what is seen on Nexus 4, however, Optimus G can count on a 4 g LTE module Qualcomm from 100Mbps operating on 800/1800/2600 MHz. The whole thing is powered by a large battery 2100mAh which fully satisfies all your smartphone's energy needs.
The smartphone's weight is 146 grams, but do not feel because of the relatively large size of the phone. In this connection it must be said that Optimus despite G large 4.7-inch screen is slightly bigger than a Galaxy S II.
LG Optimus G Screen Display
Optimus G screen adopts a type IPS panel called "True HD IPS +" from LG. This means that in comparison with the previous generation, represented by panels used in Optimus 4 x HD, there is an improvement in brightness and other features. The most important one is certainly deleting a layer between the glass and the screen itself. As well as in Nexus 4, in fact, the screen shows images "on the water" by removing a layer between the actual display and glass.
The display is of excellent quality and is among the brightest on the market, which means that it can be used in bright sunlight without visibility problems. The definition is extremely high due to resolution of 1280 × 768 which ensures 320ppi. The resolution is equal to that of another top-of-the-line terminal, Nokia Lumia 920, and it is abnormal when compared to other top of the line with resolution 1280 × 720. The form factor is 16:10 in the case of 1280 × 768 resolution, 16: 9 is for 1280 × 720 resolution. This means that the display is of few millimetres wider and offers a better viewing of web pages.
Camera Test And Review
The sensor has a high resolution but it has great picture noise. The white balance is anything but optimal, and even in good light conditions appear bright little shots or faded; It is not rare to run into problems of overexposure and total distortion of high-light areas.
The image noise is so loud that you can see with the naked eye and without a strong magnification distortion. The boundaries appear washed out and not accurate, details like hair is lost and the images appear almost blurry. It is impossible to do zooming as the distortion becomes untenable.
In contrast, however, the performance in low light conditions are above average and allow you to take pictures with minimum brightness.

Optimus G Battery Durability
The battery provides good performance and is able to adequately support your smartphone during the whole day. We do not, for obvious reasons, had a chance to test performance under 4 g LTE network usage, but under 3 g network performance is excellent and can pass without problems the entire day.
The battery is not removable because of the presence of back cover glass, on the other hand is equipped with 800 cycles technology which allows 800 complete cycles of charges and discharges, in contrast to the batteries currently in use on the vast majority of devices that allows "only" 500 cycles. This means, in practical terms that, if uploaded daily, normal batteries lose effectiveness after approximately a year and a half, while the new LG's batteries will last more than two years.
With a good calibration and a judicious use of resources, moreover, it is not difficult to envisage a charge longer than a day and a half. High battery capacity and the presence of a CPU with very low power consumption thanks to the production process to allow 28nm to curb consumption.
Software
The main and biggest difference between Optimus G and Nexus 4 lies in software: the second is Google who deals directly with updates, while the first is LG. The unity that we had lacked a testing final software and was, indeed, a development with Android version 4.0.4. The smartphone was a koreana with some parts of the system in the native language, which gives an idea of the State of things. However the stability was total and we have never experienced a problem: neither crash nor lag or slowdown. This portends well compared to the final version that will arrive in Italy.
Interface
The Android User interface on Optimus g is customised by LG and is the Optimus UI 3.0. The change allows you to implement a number of improvements to the stock Android interface, which shows (in my opinion) of deterioration than previously. For example, using the Optimus UI you can press your finger on the home screen to add widgets and links and change the background. The screen of the app drawer is customizable and you can change the background, as well as choose the order of the elements.
The first element of difference compared to Android stock is the unlock screen, showing a bubble that pops up just touch the screen and that widens as they increasingly turn away from finger contact.
As Samsung Smart Stay, LG has introduced the ability to keep the screen on when you're watching. We tested this feature, and although it is not a final version of the software, we found that actually works.
The notification drop down has the top button with which you can enable or disable WiFi connections, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC and beyond; These buttons are changeable and reorderable as desired by the user. You can add and remove at will.
An interesting application that LG has integrated with the QuickMemo interface, already present on previous smartphone Optimus line 2012, can be activated by simultaneously pressing both volume buttons. QuickMemo is a convenient feature that allows you to take notes simply by writing on the screen with their fingers. Accuracy is good despite the natural uncertainty given by fingers, definitely not precise as a nib as the Galaxy Notes. The novelty is the presence of overlayfunction, which allows you to use your phone normally having just taken note superimposed. This feature is particularly useful when you, for example, must sign a phone number or an address (whether that web traffic).
Gaming
As is expected from a smartphone with a hardware of this caliber, the possibilities of the game are enormous. The presence of quad-core processor with the Adreno GPU brings 320 graphics performance to a new level and allows you to play all the latest titles without any effort. No doubt that getting the root permissions on the device and installing Chainfire 3D you can play games for NVIDIA Tegra 3 with an even higher framerate than that offered by the platform competitor home green.
Updates
Updates for this smartphone should not be a problem: because the hardware shared with Nexus, which will receive updates 4 much longer, LG should not find it difficult to release updates for this smartphone for a period as extended.
That lends itself to modding?
The same applies to the modding: ROM compatible with the Nexus 4 will be compatible even with the Optimus G, although there is the LTE module that could potentially give problems. In any case modding possibilities of this smartphone are almost endless.
Overall Review LG Optimus G
LG Optimus G is a top of the range in all directions: hardware, software, materials, attention to detail, design. LG has given the best of themselves and the results are amazing. The hardware commonality with Nexus 4, without prejudice to the LTE module activated, should make it much easier to update the company's Terminal koreana and, therefore, we may finally see the classic lack of new versions of Android on LG'S terminals.
Although released only in 2013 at a price that we imagine being among the 499 and 599 Euros, Optimus G appears already as telephone able to stay on top for a long time to come and how sitting in the Olympus of smartphones. At the moment the market is not a single smartphone can compete with Optimus G, excluding Nexus 4.
We strongly recommend this smartphone to anyone who has an eye for design, materials, construction and quality hardware in General.
