The new specification approved wireless charging

Organization Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP), which includes Samsung, Qualcomm and many others, said the approval of the final version of the standard wireless charger new type. As recent events, the world is almost ready for embedding wireless chargers for mobile equipment (laptops, music players, smart phones and tablets) and accessories everywhere, so you need a fresh and modern standard for the technology.
Announcement of the last Nokia smartphone, Nexus 4 from LG and Google have shown that the idea of ​​wireless charger died. At the moment there are a lot of wireless storage, and unfortunately, they are all very different from each other and often things are not interchangeable. Of course, it is the standard Qi, which is used in many of the accessories and advances including Nokia, but it is somewhat out of date, and charging for its use is only in direct contact mobile device and "charging".A4WP going to present a new commercial standard that will finally unify the technology to install it in a piece of furniture, cars and other objects are used regularly. This in turn stimulates the development of devices and accessories include the support of the standard. First, a wireless charging will be a marketing advantage, and then a part of our lives. Compared with Qi new technology will charge devices faster and at a greater distance from the surface. It is interesting that the proposed standard is used A4WP Bluetooth 4.0, which will reduce the cost of switching to the new technology.This is not the first attempt to bring wireless charging into the mainstream. But before it undertakes mainly individual manufacturers of terminal devices. To create and promote a new standard has been created a consortium of representatives from many companies, so this time we have a good chance in 5-10 years to be able to charge the vehicles almost anywhere that slightly reduce the problem of high energy consumption of today's mobile devices.

Testing the HTC One X with Android 4.1 JB

Recently in Asia began the renovation of the current flagship HTC to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Update promised to bring the total acceleration of the system, the smoothness of the interface and some fresh features as from Google, and from HTC. Sounds promising, more interesting to look at the test results HTC One X after the update.

GSMArena edition published the results of testing HTC One X with the official firmware based on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in the three most popular benchmarks. First in line is the Chinese AnTutu Benchmark team. It One X with NVidia Tegra 3 inside gets 12,932 points, which is only slightly less than the Samsung Galaxy Note II (Android 4.1 JB) with Exynos 4 Quad, dctuj lag is just over 500 points. Third in global Samsumg Galaxy S III with Jelly Bean on board - 12 288 points. For reference, HTC One X with Ice Cream Sandwich makes this test about 11,633.One X with Android 4.1 Quadrant

The second in the series of tests was Quadrant, advanced user familiar to any Android-devices benchmark. And it HTC One X with Jelly Bean on board was in second place (6,822 points), second flagship Optimus G with Qualcomm APQ8064 from inside, which scored a striking result already in 7439 points. For the third place fight HTC One X (ICS) and the Samsung Galaxy S III (JB), but the gap with the new result of the Taiwan leader is great.Finally, the last test that can be performed on any device with a browser and an Internet connection, - SunSpider. It checks the speed of processing JavaScript in your browser device, naturally, depends on the characteristics and system software, as well as from the engine of the browser itself. In this benchmark One X in fourth place, behind the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy Note II and Motorola RAZR i. The full balance of the test suite with the One X Jelly Bean passed for 1117 ms. For comparison, the earlier the same tests were run for 1468 ms, so that the increase in system performance and browser visible.All the above benchmarks show that the smartphone just got a new life after the installation of Jelly Bean. This is a direct argument for those who still doubt the need to update the system software.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus II, Designed By Bob Freking, Inspired by Holo and Nexus Q

 

Recent leaks have shown that Google is preparing more than one Nexus phone for this autumn launch. They may include a LG Nexus 4 device, a HTC Nexus 5, as well as a Samsung Galaxy Nexus II. The latter gets a mockup from Bob Freking, inspired by Holo and Nexus Q and pictured below.

The Galaxy Nexus 2 has the same screen as the Galaxy Note II, a HD AMOLED one, but no longer pentile. Inside there’s an Exynos quad core processor and other features include an 8 megapixel camera, plus there should also be 2 GB of RAM on board and at least 16 GB of storage. As you can see, the device has an elongated design and its back side reminds me of the first Galaxy Nexus.  I guess that the OS on board is Android 4.2 or something like it, according to leaks.The diagonal size should be more or less the same 4.6 inch affair and when Bob said the screen is the same as the one of the Galaxy Note II, he probably referred to type, not diagonal. I wouldn’t mind seeing a 5 inch Galaxy Nexus II, if the display was integrated in a more compact way. So, what do you think of this concept? Also, on a side note: Google will unveil its Nexus Phones in October 29th, so be ready!

Nokia Lumia FX800 Concept by Vilim Plužarić Has a Titanium Unibody Design

 

Vilim Plužarić created a Nokia concept phone called FX800, that has become famous on a couple of blogs and sites over the past days. We’re dealing with an unique smartphone, that started from the idea of the Nokia 8910 Titanium from back in 2002, in a more evolved version. This is a 4.65 inch smartphone with a titanium unibody case and obviously Windows Phone 8 on board.

Nokia Lumia FX800 features a 4.65 inch ClearBlack AMOLED HD screen, a laser cut body and measures just 8 mm in thickness. It packs a 1.5 GHz dual core Snapdragon S4 processor and 1 GB of RAM, plus 16 GB of storage. These specs are very much like the ones of the Lumia 920 in real life, to which the designer added a 12 megapixel camera. The screen supports a 720p resolution and its design seems to be a combo between the Nokia 8910 Titanium, Nokia X7 and the N9 model from last year.
People have been criticizing a lot the user of plastic materials like polycarbonate for modern handsets. They want the styling of the iPhone 5 with glass and aluminum and I expect that future Windows Phone and Android devices will take that requirement into account. So, are you for titanium or plastic materials? Have your say in the comments below!

Comparison of the middle segment of the new Windows Phone

In the next couple of weeks will be available the first wave of new smartphones on Windows Phone 8 from three companies. All of these manufacturers have attended the flagship issue, but one of them, Samsung, decided not to announce the mid-market product. So, in the competition for the buyer's attention in the arena of available devices will be involved only Windows Phone 8S from HTC and Lumia 820 from Nokia.
Yesterday we did a little comparison flagship products on Windows Phone 8, and now will try not to disappoint, and at about the same level as a comparison of two affordable products. Maybe it will help someone choose the smartphone that is more to the soul.Display.HTC 8S: 4-inch, 800 x 480 (WVGA), SuperLCDNokia Lumia 820: 4.3 inch, 800 x 480 (WVGA), AMOLED with ClearBlackBoth companies took advantage of the non-flagship Windows Phone screen technology that was used in the flagships on WP7. HTC is familiar for the first year SuperLCD first generation, an inexpensive screen with good characteristics. On the characteristics of the screen to close 8S fixed in HTC Incredible S. Nokia used with proprietary technology AMOLED ClearBlack, allowing you to display deep blacks. Screen smartphone from HTC slightly less, but the image on it will be a little clearer.CPU, memory.HTC 8S: Qualcomm MSM8227 dual-core 1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB of data recording, MicroSD support availableNokia Lumia 820: Dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 with a frequency of 1.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB of data recording, MicroSD support availableAccording to the "iron" middling from Nokia is very close to the leader - it uses the same processor and even the same amount of memory. Built-in memory is noticeably smaller Lumia 920, but expanding memory cards. Established in HTC 8S chip - a dark horse, and the rest of his features are not yet known. However, we can already say that its performance is much less of a competitor. And the built-in accelerator Adreno 305 significantly less productive than the Adreno 225 with Lumia 820. The smartphone HTC is also half the RAM and memory to store the data, and if the latter is offset by the presence of the card slot MicroSD, then RAM is supplemented. However, it should be enough for all the tasks that can run Windows Phone.Camera.HTC 8S: 5 MP, avtofokuc, aperture f/2.8, 35 mm lens, coprocessor ImageSenseNokia Lumia 820: 8 MP, autofocus, optical CarlZeis. The front camera with a resolution of 0.3 MPOn the camera phone from HTC is clearly inferior, despite the individual responsible for processing the photo chip. Of course, both devices will make good and probably close as pictures, but from a marketing point of view, in terms of looks Lumia camera better. And the presence of the front camera is also a plus smartphone Nokia.Body materials, thickness, weight, battery capacity.HTC 8S: polycarbonate, 10.28 mm, 113 grams, 1700 mAhNokia Lumia 820: polycarbonate, 9.9 mm, 160 g, 1650 mAhHousing units are made of bright polycarbonate. But if the cap Lumia 820 monochrome, the HTC decided to stop in the middle segment of the combination of colors and made the case itself 8S one color, and the design elements and the cover - the other. Lumia 820 too heavy for a device of this nature, and the battery could be more concise. But apart from the usual Nokia removable lids promised and those that will add support for wireless charging device.Even an ardent fan of the Taiwanese understand that Nokia Lumia 820 is a cut above the competitor from HTC. However, there is still one important factor that is often changing opinions about the device. Of course, I'm talking about the cost. Despite the fact that the Russian price tags on both products yet to be announced, we can say that Windows Phone 8S from HTC will cost at least 4,000 cheaper competitor. So he has a good chance to compete for a buyer.

The speed of the browser on HTC J butterfly

HTC J butterfly - the most advanced and powerful Android-powered smartphone from the selection HTC. Device affects the size and quality of the display and the power of the filling, which can handle any state of the art mobile game. But what is surprising users, when the smartphone, which has just launched a game with gorgeous graphics, and brake suddenly lag when viewing seemingly normal web page! Modern graphics rich and complex layout web page often with visible effort rendered in brazuere on my desktop. How to cope with this new challenge with the four hearts and FullHD-display?
Outset that HTC J butterfly, available at the launch of a new line of smartphones for operators auKDDI, surely carry on board firmware is not final, so that part of the problems with the smartphone to be released in December, it will probably be fixed. So far, we see that the internet site look just gorgeous on a huge five-inch FullHD-bright display. Scrolling works without problems, with zoom in and out pages plucking gesture text becomes clear almost immediately - before it took considerable time. Of significant problems can be noted that the long scrolling page, there are some items - but this is more browsers out there, or the engine.As a result, we can say that the set inside HTC J butterfly SoC APQ8064 Qualcomm's perfectly cope with the modern web. No wonder, Qualcomm engineers in their commercials always said that developed their architecture rather than a standard Cortex just counting on specific user needs, and not for any performance increase in synthetic tests. It should be borne in mind that, and 2 GB of RAM in HTC J butterfly will come in handy - the browser can easily be in the background with a lot of tabs open, even after the game was launched. However, this is will depend on the modifications which made the Taiwanese manufacturer to the system. Recall that most of the problems the owners of the first smartphones One series was due to the fact that HTC has included its own mechanism for multitasking.

HTC did not fire without warning

 
The economy of Taiwan is highly dependent on exports consumer electronics, and HTC is one of the most important and largest manufacturers thereof, along with Acer, ASUS, or OEM-supplier Foxconn. In fact, at this point, all manufacturers have problems with the volume of exports, which is immediately reflected in the economy. The situation is difficult, so that anyone, even not related to economic indicators scandal, he immediately responds to serious discussion in the press. This time the focus of the company was due to HTC application of one of the former employees that he was dismissed without notice.At a press conference organized by the Taiwan Labor Front, a former employee with the name of HTC Chiu claimed that in July was the only notice of dismissal as a message to the phone. Other alerts were not. After that, Mr. Chiu was trying to communicate with the company, but to get through to him but could not. The dismissal of the state employees was conducted by HTC to reduce personnel costs. What surprise Mr. Chiu, when in October he received notification on your phone from the recruitment agency that HTC again promptly gaining a new state agency and invites him.A former employee of the company said that HTC does not comply with reasonable standards of salaried staff and actually making fun of him. The same opinion Son S Lian (Son Yu-lian), secretary general of Taiwan Labor Front, which took up the defense of Mr. Chiu and his fellow-sufferers. He stresses that local contract workers in a factory in Taoyuan, where he worked, Mr. Chiu, more than a thousand, and each of them can have a similar position.Naturally, HTC did not stay aside and issued an official statement on the situation: "HTC is always subject to the law on labor and the protection of workers' rights." The same emphasis on the fact that the company only works with the modern recruitment agency, which also adheres to all laws.The situation is quite delicate and it will be engaged at the highest level. Works Council Taiwan carefully check and the contract itself, and there is a complaint to see if there were any laws broken. Only after that will be made a decision, possibly punitive.

HTC DLX again at the photo, this time for Verizon

 

Mysterious smartphone named HTC DLX (Deluxe) appeared again on the informal shots. The first photos of the device have appeared in the last month, they were clear enough to understand - it's not fake. A little later, came from different sources likely specification smartphone, close to each other, but sometimes do not coincide with each other. New pictures much to clarify the situation with the device.

According to earlier data was thought that HTC DLX comes exclusively from the largest U.S. operator Verizon, was launched at the results of FCC certification to prove it. But the recent announcement of the HTC J butterfly led many to begin to doubt this information, because the novelty was clearly thus DLX.
Butterfly black version is very similar to the device with the pictures. When J butterfly into the hands of inquisitive reporters, they restarted the smart phone into bootloader mode, where we saw the inscription HTC DLX J, similar to the new J is defined in AnTutu Benchmark. No need to be very astute person to understand - the letter J stands for Japan. But that does not negate the existence of a loved one, but a different product with a name that does not exist J.Recent pictures published Android Central, confirm that non-Japanese DLX exist. On the case fell under the lens of black devices are not specific to the Japanese version of the contacts on the back of the cover, but in the presence of an inscription on a huge screen Verizon. By the way, the design of the top of the smartphone, just above the name of the operator (where is the "grid" of the loudspeaker), is also different from the Japanese version. Compared with the Japanese "brothers» HTC DLX with new images look less elegant. Such brutality, probably like a rich American Youth, which is the target audience of the product.HTC DLX InfoAs we will soon see DLX for Verizon? Likely to officially announce it before the Christmas season, sales will start at about the same time - in the weeks most Americans makes bulk purchases not related to daily activities. Will there be such a device in Europe and Russia this year? Most likely, the European version of the DLX we will not see until February 2013, before the announcement by HTC new line of smartphones.

To share even created a separate commercial, which will be broadcast on TV.HTC Radar in "The Messenger"HTC why such an action when clearly smartphones sold close to the purchase price? Answers to this question, several, all of them perfectly complement each other. First, at the beginning of the next month will begin selling the devices on Windows Phone 8, HTC 8X and 8S, so the company should be removed from the shelves aging products, which in the eyes of ordinary buyers can compete with new products and did not blend with the design. Secondly, so HTC promotes itself operating system from Microsoft and create an association in the mind of the consumer - «Windows Phone = HTC». Third, while the action and is officially only in the "Messenger", most merchants simply have to adopt the same rules of the game - otherwise it would be a serious loss of buyers.And it works, as proven pricing battle between retailers for the Samsung Galaxy S III, which finally ended last week. By the way, the main partner to launch cheap HTC Mozart in Russia was just "The Messenger" - the network is happy to participate in such events.Remember that HTC Radar was announced September 1, 2011 as one of the first devices on the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango.

HTC Nexus make 5?

Today Google released an invitation to the event on the launch of the new version of Android, and a series of new smartphone Nexus. Although rumors suggest that these smartphones can be several people with imagination will hint at it in the phrase «The playground is open», contained in the invitation. Find and instantly recall details of a certain Nexus 5, which made HTC.

Last month, in one of the blogs GSMArena has information on the readiness of HTC specifically for Google to release in the near future to market the device. Moreover, the Nexus was listed as a "clone" smartphone, called DLX. The one device with a large display, which already appeared in the pictures, and which in the future may be a copy of "yaponizirovannogo» HTC J butterfly for the U.S. Verizon. That output J butterfly has been the catalyst that allowed erupt again interest in the idea of ​​a new Nexus from HTC.If the rumor is true of several Nexus, and rumors of three alleged Nexus pretty close to the truth, the Nexus 5 (diagonal screen) by HTC will look like the most powerful compared to other devices. According to unconfirmed information available now Samsung may show a slightly improved version of the Galaxy Nexus (2 or Plus) with support for memory cards and 8 megapixel camera, another Korean, LG E960 Mako, who almost certainly will find a label Nexus, technologically close to Galaxy Nexus 2, but a quad-core chip inside of Qualcomm.
 
In general, the output of multiple Nexus or an entire program of the same name by supporting manufacturers - many consumers expected event. Variety of smartphones on Android - a great advantage of the system, but it has given rise to the phenomenon of serious lag on many smartphones on the current OS. Nexus One also often does not cover the interests of the whole motley fraternity lovers actual Android, so that several smartphones (strictly limited and controlled by Google) would be able to solve the problem without violating the principle of openness. In fact, the system of restrictions and controls should be like the one that exists between Microsoft and manufacturers Windows

Not the tablet, not the phone. Review of Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Today at 19:00 the start of official sales Galaxy Note 2 - latest flagship Samsung. This is not just a smartphone - it's the latest model in a line of Note, where the line between tablets and phones disappearing. The predecessor to this model has been very successful in the market, even though he was greeted with surprise. Note 2 is basically just improved in every way first successor Note, but improvements have been made tremendous. Personally, I was not familiar with the first Note, so that in this review, I can not give an accurate comparison of improvements over the first model.Design and Ergonomics
When Note 2 was introduced, I was disappointed. And disappointed for two reasons. First - it is the design itself. We just showed increased Galaxy S3. Moreover, when I show people this smartphone, everyone asked me, "Oh, this is the third Galaxy? '. No individuality, which would emphasize all the features of this phone. The second reason - is the material body. White glossy plastic - not quite what I believe needs to decorate the company's flagship. Yes, the materials are sturdy, good quality, but not the flagship. The prints are visible from the front and on the faces on the back, and because of the phone a little plastic slide in the hand.

Reviled design, consider the body closer. As I said, the body is completely made of plastic case and bezel camera and mechanical buttons are stylized metal. The left side is the volume rocker body busy, comfortable enough key travel feels good. The right side is the lock button and the deepening of the housing, which is necessary to hook to remove the back cover. The location of the control buttons are well thought out, given the considerable size of the device - they are located just above the middle, and are within range of a normal grip. The bottom end is busy bay micro-USB and stylus.Located on the top of a 3.5 mm audio input. The back side is the camera, flash, and a slit for the speaker. By the way, the surface of the lid is well dirty. Under the lid are removable battery, memory card slot microSD and SIM-card. And insert a SIM-card without removing the battery is very difficult. Assembled apparatus as a whole is good, no crunches, sometimes only play traced back cover in the center, but very small. The stylus is "like a glove", although extracted with little difficulty. Lots Note 10.1 brother had no such problems. On the front side of the control buttons OS - one manual and two touch, above the display - lighting and proximity sensors, front camera, speaker and LED-indicator.Pass to the most controversial, according to people the moment - the size and ergonomics. To the surprise of many here are all excellent. Me, amateur smartphone with a diagonal is less than 4 inches, and the owner is not very big hands, Note 2 seemed very comfortable in size, comfortable to hold, and I can manage it with one hand without discomfort, but sometimes you have to change the position of the smartphone. The only time the size to cause problems - if it is necessary to sit down, for example, to tie shoelaces, and the phone is in your pocket. At this size, weighs only 180g Note 2, which is very nice, and practical ideal weight.
DisplayCompared to its predecessor, the display has grown by 0.2 inches and now stands at 5.5 inches. Executed display technology SAMOLED HD, 1280 × 720 pixels, the screen is protected by glass Gorilla Glass 2. The screen is beautiful, has a high viewing angle, high brightness, contrast and color saturation. The picture is clear and look at it - a pleasure. Screen sizes can comfortably read books, watch movies (this also helps to spread the aspect ratio - 16:9), or simply surf the Internet.
Camera, soundThe camera is mounted on the flagship of 8Mp and allows you to capture up to 3624 × 2448 pixels, and shoot video resolution FullHD - 1920 × 1080 pixels. Settings on the camera - big set. The default mode is set to continuous shooting - ie While holding the camera button - the unit will take pictures. In the activation of the frontal camera Samsung have decided to call "self-portrait mode" - keeping pace with the times, apparently. You can also quickly access the flash, shooting mode (there are a large number, such as "best shot" as a people and landscape, panoramas, HDR, but macro among them for example, I did not see), and effects. Advanced settings allow you to adjust ISO, exposure, subject, focus, GPS tags and more. In general, the pictures are good as in good or bad light, and even in motion (saves continuous shooting). Front camera - 1.9 MP, and also gives a decent image for video or for self-portraits.Sound in Note 2 also "does not disappoint" - reserve volume is good, the sound is clear both from the speakers and the headphones or the speaker connections.Performance, operating systemThe performance of Galaxy Note 2 out of competition. This is facilitated by a new Exynos processor chetyrhyaderny clocked at 1.6 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. Available only 1.75 GB after downloading smartphone busy right around 500MB, but this is more than enough for the user. Smartphone loaded very quickly, and runs smoothly and quickly, the interface is almost slowdown was seen.Pre-installed on a new version of the smartphone Android Jelly Bean 4.1.1 with proprietary add-TouchWiz from Samsung, which greatly enhances the ability to customize the phone for themselves.Let's start with the notification bar. There are shortcuts to quickly set up, such as Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, (de) activation of screen rotation, etc. There you can control the brightness of the screen, players available labels recommended for contextual mode (more on that later), the notice. If you press the "back" for a while, the side shows the cover, you can "pull" for quick access to shortcuts, and you can customize for themselves. On the desktop grid is 8 × 8 spaces for widgets and applications, desktops, 7, also added context.Switch between desktops as you can and flipping through them and clicking on the icon. By default, the large number of items, such as Yandex.News or Yandex, Dropbox, E-mail, Game Hub, radio, etc. Below are 4 label, which can also be changed, and a menu button. Double-clicking the button in the center of the mechanical causes S Voice - Voice Assistant. Holding the button brings up a list of running applications, as well as quick access to Task Manager, search Google or just close all active applications.In Note 2 is NFC-module, which is certainly a welcome addition, as well as S Beam, which allows the exchange of data via Wi-Fi Direct and NFC. There is also a function AllShare Cast - device screen can be shared with others, but to be honest, I could not test the functionality of this feature. You can also change the desktop mode - there are plain and simple. The difference in effect - in simple mode to add widgets and shortcuts settings, favorite contacts, and decreases the number of desktops.Another feature of the shell is context pages that have already been mentioned - they have a stylus S Pen, nashunikov, coasters and roaming. Contextual pages are created as separate desktops and appear right on the screen, even if it is blocked. They located the corresponding widget, recommended applications, and interesting accompanying text.

For example, if you type messages to attach the phone to your ear, the phone call to the selected recipient.S Pen, autonomyThis brings me to what makes these unique Note 2 - pen-stylus S Pen. It greatly enhances the control smartphone. First, let's say that just bringing the pen to the screen you will see a blue dot. Depending on the application, the point may be replaced by, for example, a pen. This point can be specified on any information on the phone for more information on the menu item or for a quick look at the headers \ text messages, and if you reach the bottom or the top of the list - it will flip through. In the pen S Pen is also a system of gestures, which is activated by pressing a button on the stylus - if you draw a tick upward angle it would be equivalent to pressing the "function", if you just select an object on the screen - it will stand out as an image, which can be send to the Internet, copy to clipboard or save it to your phone, note, for example. If you quickly press 2 times the screen - will create quick notes S Note, and if you hold the stylus for a while at one point - you can take a snapshot of the screen, which can be edited immediately, and again sent to the Internet or save.Key features of the pen is also disclosed in the application for taking notes S Note. The application allows you to create notes on the various templates, customize the type of writing instrument - such as a brush or pen, insert images, videos, audio notes. Still, you can insert the "idea drawings" - you write the common name pattern, such as "food" or furniture, "and the smartphone offers a jigsaw piece. Would again like to praise the quality handwriting recognition, text and formulas, although it is a little bit does not work properly. Example, There are problems with the recognition of uppercase \ lowercase letters. But comfortable enough to write little notes or messages in social networks with a pen.Note 2 has a proud autonomy, given the large display. With my load - namely several short calls a day, about 10 SMS included synchronization and 3.5G data transmission mode, push-notification email, social networks updates every 10 minutes., About 3 hours of music, the work in about an hour seeding mode Wi-Fi, near maximum brightness and frequent surfing the Internet in Google Chrome to 7 pm, on the unit is 32%, which is a good indicator.Results of29990r for Samsung device offers us a gorgeous display, a new operating system Andoid, better productivity, excellent autonomy and a wide range of possibilities offered by the pen-stylus S Pen, though not quite like an expensive and solid device. The only thing that may deter the end user, to my quite - it's unusually large size and inconvenience caused by it, but you can get used to them. In my opinion this is a great solution in the market.

Windows Smartphone 2KX Has the Graphical Power of a PlayStation 3

Aitor Amigo sent me one of his new designs, the 2KX Windows 8 smartphone, that’s supposed to have the graphical power of a PS3 console. The handset packs a 5.3 inch 2K resolution screen, that’s also 3D and uses an AMOLED panel. For those of you wondering, 2K means 2040 x 1080p and we also get some other incredible specs, detailed below.

If I were to analyze the design, I can spot a format that hasn’t been used lately: a side sliding QWERTY keyboard smartphone that looks like some sort of crossover between that older and smaller Vaio from Sony and a Galaxy Note II. The Windows 8 smartphone concept comes with 128, 256 or 512 GB of microSSD storage at 6 GB/s speed, with 600 MB/s reading and 550 MB/s writing speeds. Inside there’s a Cortex A15 processor with 8 cores at 2 GHz each and a turbo mode that takes it up a notch, to 2.7 GHz.
The CPU Can work in 2x, 4x and 8x cores for less consumption. Also on board we find the Mali-T678 GPU with 8 cores at 6 GHz, for a total of 192G pix/s in 2 memory versions, 2 GB or 4 GB of GDDR5. Powering up this fantastic monster is a 9500 mAh battery and as far as video/photo capture is concerned we’ve got a dual 16 megapixel camera that can record Full HD at 60 FPS in 3D mode. Finally, the handset runs Windows 8 Ultimate 64 and measures 7.95 mm in thickness, while weighing a decent 119.80 grams. Fantastic device and a true powerhouse!
