Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III review: S to the third
Introduction Today is no ordinary day for the GSMArena test track, which is about to see the Bugatti Veyron of smartphones do the rounds in an attempt to beat the lap record of its predecessor. Samsung have spared no effort to protect the Galaxy S III against any odds. What we get as a result is the most astonishing blend of performance and features we are likely to see this year. Samsung Galaxy S III official shots The Koreans took ...
HTC Evo 4G LTE review: Ticking all boxes
Introduction The Sprint Wireless exclusive HTC Evo 4G LTE is the latest smartphone to come from the close and rather prolific collaboration between the carrier and the Taiwanese manufacturer. The handset is bound to take its spot as the flagship for Sprint’s newly launched LTE network. While its name might lead you to believe otherwise, the HTC Evo 4G LTE is rather closely related to the HTC One X for AT&T. It sports practically the same internals as its polycarbonate ...
HTC One X for AT&T review: Xtra flavor
Introduction With its international sibling receiving accolades left and right, it is time for the AT&T exclusive, LTE sporting HTC One X to take the stage. While the newcomer has retained the gorgeous looks of the global version, it is yet another case of a character makeover, received prior to crossing the Atlantic. In order to get along with AT&T’s LTE network, the US residing HTC One X sports a Qualcomm chipset and CPU, rather than the NVIDIA silicon featured ...
Nokia Asha 302 review: E-serious
Introduction The Nokia Asha 302 comes between the Asha 300 and the Asha 303 in Nokia’s updated featurephone lineup, but it doesn’t quite follow the numerical order. Although obviously not a smartphone, this S40 messenger is nearly half-way there. It aims to bring good connectivity and more than reasonable processing power without unnecessarily complicating the interface. Touchscreen and dual-SIM support are the two extremes in the Asha lineup but the Nokia Asha 302 sticks to the middle, finding balance and ...
Oz government asks how much personal data should telcos keep?
Australia’s government will consult with its citizenry to determine how much data telcos should retain about their activities, and how long it should be retained for. Attorney-General Nicola Roxon has asked the nation’s Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security to conduct public hearings on the topic. The review will think about legislation governing the telecommunications industry and security agencies.
Samsung Galaxy Y Duos S6102 review : Double smart
Introduction It got around the block quickly enough that entry-level Androids are huge money earners. Not that Samsung needed the heads-up. They’ve had a foot in that door for as long as we can remember. As of late, their Galaxy Y series have taken over from the likes of the Galaxy Gio, Mini and the Fit to offer inexpensive smartphones for youths and emerging markets. At one point an nearly exclusive Nokia territory, the low-end market is now fair game ...
HTC Titan II review: Wrath of the Titan
Introduction HTC made quite a statement when it announced the original Titan in the summer of 2011. Its sequel is aiming to do so as well. After all, smartphones with 16MP camera sensors are a rare sight on any market. Launched at the same time as the attention grabbing Nokia Lumia 900 during this year’s CES, the HTC Titan II appears built for the sole purpose of besting the Finnish flagship’s spec sheet. The HTC Titan II is hardly a ...
HTC One V review: Chin up
Introduction The One series is the fresh new lineup of smartphones that helped HTC take the spotlight early in 2012. While the One S and One X are flexing muscle at each other as a way to stay sharp for the invasion of the other predators with multi-core processors and high resolution screens, the One V aims at a less violent market segment – and it’s priced accordingly. While we would not go as far as to call it a ...
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 review: Make it two
Introduction The question this second-generation Samsung tablet is trying to answer is not “How much better can it get?” The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 stops at how much. It feels safe pretending there is no such thing as a third-generation iPad. Under different circumstances, the second-generation Galaxy Tab 10.1 would’ve been a disappointment. It still is, in a way – especially if you expected a substantial upgrade of the original. This duty however falls on another member of the ...
HTC One X review: eXtra special
How about this for a rebound after a rather quiet second half of last year? A big change of game plan sees HTC focus on a few special products instead of trying to create a smartphone for every taste. An outstanding result of this effort, the HTC One X brings so many firsts for both company and industry, that a climb to the top of the food chain may be a walk in the park. Just look at some of ...
