Compare: LG Optimus 3D vs HTC Evo 3D

New era where mobile devices to adopt 3D technology has arrived, starting from a portable gaming device which is then followed by the notebook and now cell phones did not miss. So far, LG and HTC are looking seriously into the arena of mobile phone competition with 3D technology. Through LG Optimus 3D and HTC Evo 3D, both the vendor tries to present a new experience that users have never felt before. What if the two met head-to-head?

Design

Physically, both can be said to be large, even in the class of smartphones that use dual-core processor, Optimus 3D and Evo 3D is the thickest also has the heaviest weighting. Although at first sight these two phones are similar, but there are quite striking differences in the laying of the physical buttons of both, on the right side, Evo 3D put the camera shutter button side by side with the switcher to switch between 2D and 3D modes.


While in Optimus 3D, only available button labeled 3D is useful as a shortcut to the 3D Space feature or switch between 2D and 3D mode when the user is in the camera features a photo or video recorder. In this case we prefer the shutter function is more useful, especially for users who want to maximize the 2D or 3D photography function on his cell phone.

Operating System

Both phones using the Android operating system but with different versions. Optimus 3D using Froyo while Evo3D have a newer version of Gingerbread. The difference also lies in the UI that is used, a new version of HTC Sense UI which is owned by Evo 3D looks attractive from lockscreen, homescreen, the main menu, to the tray notification area. The whole sector feels fresh with new experiences on offer, active Iockscreen example, this area look different with the kind of widget that can be raised as desired user complete with 4 shortcut to open the lock, as well as to the application, or specific features.


The user interface in 3D Optimus had a different impression, at first glance looks nothing special, especially for us who have previous experience with the LG smartphone. But if we look at the homescreen already available 3D Space choices, where we can explore the application menu or 3D features. As mentioned earlier, we can reach this feature quickly by pressing the 3D button on the right side of the phone. This option is also available at the main menu on the 3D category.

3D Screen

LG Optimus 3D and HTC Evo 3D adopted the screen with a parallax-barrier technology, which both put the extra screen layer, which makes the left and right eye captures a different arrangement of pixels so that the brain interprets the image has a depth dimension. The good news is, this technology allows you to enjoy the sensation of 3D on both screens without the help of 3D glasses like on a tablet from LG, Optimus Pad.

Remember, the resulting screen 3D effects on both phones can only be felt the most when the screen in landscape position, not only that, the ideal distance between the user's eyes and the screen may be different on each person.

When you first use we may feel dizzy, and advised to rest my eyes when these effects begin to be felt. Personally, we feel more comfortable 3D content on the Optimus 3D, while the rival the shadow image of the second layer still seems disturbing. This opinion is very subjective again due to differences in the ideal distance is different for every individual. We must feel themselves to be able to judge.

Camera

Not only capable of displaying 3D graphics both phones equipped with the ability to produce images or video 3D through stereoscopic lenses in back of the phone. For 3D images, the maximum resolution on HTC Evo 3D is limited to 2MPx and Optimus 3D bigger with 3MPx, is when switching to video recorder mode, both share the same resolution ie 720p (HD ready).


In 2D mode images on both phones also have a balanced resolution of 5 MP, while the 2D video recorder on the contrary, Optimus 3D back ahead in terms of being able to make a video resolution of 1080p high definition (full HD).

Both the Evo 3D and Optimus 3D not rely solely on the 3D camera, both cameras are also equipped with a myriad of features and effects that can we use to hone skills possessed mobile photography.

3D Features

In order to maximize the 3D experience, both phones are also equipped with 3D-smelling content by default. HTC Evo 3D brings Spiderman 3D games should download itself when first run. Besides through the HTC Watch is also a bonus of Hollywood movies, Green Hornets 3D.

Not to be outdone, LG Optimus 3D is more generous to its users by giving 3 free games, namely Asphalt 3D, Let's Golf 2 (3D) and Nova (3D) not to mention an application of 3D book titled Gulliver's Travels. Not quite up there, there are also 10 pieces of short videos to 3D at the same time trying to watch a 3D video sensation, using Optimus 3D.


To facilitate users to find the latest 3D games, Optimus 3D also provides a choice of 3D Games which is a launcher to get to the gameloft wapshop site. When this article was created, users can download for free a few games from the site including, Real Football 2011 3D, Assassin's Creed 3D, Spiderman 3D, Shrek Kart 3D, Racing GT 3D, Modern Combat 2 3D and Star Batallion 3D. Other games were priced at a cheap, 3D Avatar for example, games are adapted from the movie box office is only $0.9.

Outside the 3D features, Evo 3D and 3D Optimus has everything they need from a smartphone. Dual-core processor at high speed, wide screen, the OS that allows users to customize it as needed until the feature-rich browser, for purposes of exploring the virtual world. We can guarantee, almost everything we want can be met by both.


Interestingly we can connect Optimus 3D to 3D television device via the mini HDMI port is available, while not so when using the Evo 3D.

Comparison of the iPhone camera from generation to generation

Improving the quality of the camera that made ​​Apple on its iPhone devices is documented by a creator Camera + application. Here, the comparison of the iPhone camera catches photo from generation to generation: iPhone 2G, 3G, 3Gs, 4, 4s, can be traced. Is Lisa Bettany, creators Camera + application, using five different models of the iPhone in order to photograph the same subject.


Seen in each photo has different levels of striking clarity and focus. The original iPhone's primitive 2-megapixel snapper was largely derided and considered the phone's weak spot, during a time where huge focus was placed on the quality of a handset's camera. The device steadily improved from 3-megapixels, to 5-megapixels, with the iPhone 4S serving up an 8-megapixel sensor and dramatically improved lens technology.

On the Camera+ website Bettany says that the new iPhone 4S even beats many of the high-end compact cameras on the market.

She says: The iPhone 4S is dramatically clearer and sharper than previous iPhone versions. Using separate focus and exposure in Camera+ on the iPhone 4; 4S significantly helped create a more balanced exposure. "While it's not nearing the same quality as a professional level dSLR, it is comparable to a top of the line compact camera and even outshines it in some ways."

Check out the Camera+ post to see the comparison in full, featuring all five iPhone models as well as the Canon S95 compact camera.

Compare qwerty-touchscreen premium class

In selecting a smartphone, operating system used to hold the most important role. In this case, the future Symbian^3 which is embedded in the E7 have most likely become the number two by Nokia is reportedly already working with Windows to use the WP7 OS, the newest mobile phone.
While Android on Desire Z, which is quite sophisticated still have a great chance to develop much better. Meanwhile, if referring to previous reviews on the design, display, and operating systems, in our opinion the two vendors have a very good track record.


Camera
Nokia E7 already armed with 8 MPx camera and dual-LED flash, while the camera on Desire Z has a resolution 5MPx and equipped single LED flash. Although in terms of hardware camera E7 arguably better than Desire Z, in fact not the case when viewed in terms of software. Desire Z was able to do autofocus, not so with the Nokia E7. In addition, selection effects on Desire Z offered more attractive than the Nokia E7 which only offer the standard scene selection.

In addition to these differences, the camera features in both phones also have some similar settings and features, such as self timer, white balance, exposure, guidelines, grids, contrast, sharpness, ISO, geo-tagging and face detection are ready to maximize the catch on the second camera phone.

Switching to a video recorder mode, both phones are capable of producing HD 720p quality video. And in the E7, Nokia has completed the featured video recorder with image stabilizer technology that will make the recording better when shooting occurred even though the movement (shaky) on the phone.

Audio Video
For entertainment, of course Desire Z and E7 phone already has a variety of audio-video features that are quite complete, such as the music and video player that supports various popular formats to the FM radio is functional enough to entertain and add information.

Only in this case Nokia E7 has advantages than HTC Desire Z, because by default Nokia has invested a video editor application is for those who want to try to make movies using mobile phones. In addition to video editors, Nokia E7 also has a photo editor application that allows you to edit images in a simple to use mobile phones.

Both phones also embed youtube as an additional application to allow users to enjoy various video provided by the website.

Internet and connections
No doubt the speed to roam in cyberspace, both Desire Z and E7. Both are capable of running on the Internet fast lane HSDPA & HSUPA. What is different is the maximum speed that can be achieved both, Desire Z has download speeds up to 14.4 Mbps and upload up to 5.76 Mbps, while E7 is slower with a maximum download speed of 10.2 Mbps and upload up to 2 Mbps. But it seems that the maximum speed it would seem difficult to achieve given the limited connection operators in several countries.

Browsers on both also offers some interesting features, including pinch zooming capabilities and multiple windows browsing. Unfortunately We're hard to find a way to open a new window in order to take advantage of multi-windows browsing feature on the Nokia E7. In addition to these two features, the browser on Desire Z also been able to run flash content on a website, of course, with first install flash player through the Android Market.

In addition to the service lane, to connect to the virtual world users also can use the wi-fi provided on both phones.

Nokia for connectivity also has its own plus points, thanks to technology USB OTG (on-the-go) is used. With technology on-the-go a device not only can act as a slave (for example, reads as mass storage when connected to a computer) but can also be a master (for example, can read the flash when connected to the phone). To support USB OTG, Nokia has included a data cable USB OTG A and B in the sales package.

E7 can also be connected to other devices that support HDMI, such as monitors or televisions that support high-definition format (HD).

Not only Nokia who has benefits not possessed competitors, Desire Z not different. HTC phone is equipped with features to enable a portable router (hotspot), this feature is not owned by the E7.

HTC Desire Z v.s. Nokia E7

Mobile phones with dual inputs, a full QWERTY keyboard-touchscreen is not as popular as phones that only use one input method. But recently several major vendors released products dual inputs, two of them Desire Z made ​​by HTC and Nokia E7. Yes, both phones are playing in the premium class so that should be interesting when we put them in the same ring to competed.


Design
Both Nokia and HTC have an excellent record when talking about the quality of materials and device design. This is also reflected in the two products that we compare this time. Both are made ​​of aluminum metal and a little plastic in some small parts plus a gorilla glass for the coating of the screen. Remarkably, almost all parts of both phones have anti-scratch. So you can say goodbye to all types of accessories like a soft protective case or a screen guard.

In detail, E7 a true successor to the communicator does not look like its predecessor. If the previous series communicator you can access using the keyboard-side clamshell mechanism, to access the keyboard on the E7 user must shift the front of the phone. Need a bit more effort to do so, especially when the new E7 used. In an open slider, the screen and the keyboard E7 wide angle which makes typing more comfortable using a keyboard.

In contrast to E7, the mechanisms used Desire Z is not a slider but a pop-out. Even so, to reveal the keyboard movement that used the same features, is to shift the front of the phone. This is where the origin of naming phone that the letter Z, when in the process of transition from when the keyboard is closed until completely open, the hinge that supports the movement to form a similar letter Z.

Unfortunately for opening the keyboard, the the power required is too small, in other words DesireZ keyboard is too easy to open so that you may open it by accident and could have affected the age of flexible component that is located between two moving parts. In such cases, there should be a point of sufficient difficulty of shifting the front of the E7 and easy access to the keyboard on Desire Z slider mechanism or pop-out can be said is ideal.


What is also different is that when the keyboard on Desire Z open, the screen and keyboard are aligned almost flat. See to the keyboard, both phones have a keyboard that is almost the same area, only if considered as a button, E7 has a size larger than Desire Z. For convenience, both keyboards on each phone quite balanced and even texture and sensation offered was identical.

Screen
Talking about the screen, E7 and Desire Z using different technologies. Nokia E7 apply AMOLED screen while on Desire Z choose Super LCD for display. On Nokia E7, the screen also been using the Nokia Clearback, meaning users could view the display on the screen clearly in any light conditions, even when under sunlight though. Not so when the same thing done on Desire Z, we can not see the screen properly due to reflection of sunlight. However, in normal lighting conditions, both the quality of the screen displays images in relatively equally well.

In response to touch input, we feel that Nokia E7 is not responsive than Z Desire especially when sliding menu on the homescreen with sweeping movements of the screen. There is little delay in E7 in response to touch, although not to interfere because it differs only a split second than Desire Z.

Operating Systems
For some people, Symbian^3 is used in the E7 does not help to cure boredom on the Symbian operating system that has for too long controlled the market. Moreover, although not the first to use Symbian^3, the operating system running on this E7 are felt still has many lack. We counted fairly often experience lag, even freeze when explore the Nokia E7.

On the E7 homescreen, there are 3 panels widgets and shortcuts by default. Almost all important elements in the E7 could be accessed through the homescreen, such as profiles, e-mail, gallery, contacts, music until the application of choice. Most recently, in E7 homescreen also decorated by Top Apps that seem to function as a complement Ovi Store. The difference is, through the Top Apps you can monitor the latest and greatest applications for Symbian^3 through the homescreen on the widget. Switching to the main menu. Not much has changed from Symbian^3 than their predecessors. The composition of the menu by default (grid) and can be transformed into the form of a list.

Experience a more exciting course offered Desire Z that uses the Android version 2.2 plus attractive HTCSenseUl. At the homescreen, available 7 panel containing widgets and application shortcuts. All widgets are chosen by default HTC also feels comfortable enough and as needed. Users may simply add shortcuts to frequently used applications. In the main menu DesireZ all applications be installed on the phone and installed by the user is displayed in a grid array that extends downward.

Comparing the mid-class phones, Nokia X5 v.s. Samsung Wave 533

Nokia is famous for the quality of the hardware while the operating system Symbian is old looking. While, Wave 533 is equipped with brand-new operating system Bada, offers a new experience to use the phone even though on some side still feels like Android.

Internet
Internet features in both phones have their respective advantages. Surfing in the virtual world using a browser X5 is quite satisfactory thanks to HSDPA data access speeds which are supported by this phone. The rest, nothing special about this Nokia X5 default browser.
Looking to the Wave 533, the experience of internet use Samsung Dolphin 2.0 browser on this phone more attractive. Browsers on Wave 533 supports more features than his opponent, such as multi-window browsing and multi-touch zooming that makes browsing activities more fun.

Camera
As CEO of Apple Inc's ever delivered., Steve Jobs, at the annual event Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2010 ago, that when talking about photography, megapixel size is not everything, there are many other factors that determine the quality of the photos, including quality sensor and software running.

Starting from this, it never hurts to compare the features of both mobile phone cameras.

To add a variety of applications into the Wave 533, Samsung also offers Samsung Apps whose function is different from Samsung's Android phone. This application is available on the market a wide selection of applications for the operating system used Bada Wave 533.
While the X5 provides the Quick Office application that acts as a substitute for Microsoft Office software that normally runs on a PC. Besides, X5 also give a bonus 4 games which is quite nice to spend time.

Audio Video

This feature can be accessed by sliding up or touch the virtual buttons illustrated three points located at the bottom of the screen, then select 'music recognition'.

Nokia X5 v.s. Samsung Wave 533

Mid-end phone is still the choice for you who want to enjoy the phone with the ability of "smart" but with a more affordable price. There are many choices on the market, but we present the two choices of mobile phones priced under $200 is worth considering, Nokia X5 and Samsung Wave 533. Although not new anymore, both phones are still enough demand in the market. What was the performance of both when compared head-to-head? Here's the report.

Design

Although the form of both looks slightly different, in fact both phones use the same basic concept design, a QWERTY slider. The difference to access the keyboard, the front of the Nokia X5 needs to be shifted upward, while Samsung Wave 533 to the right side. Differences dimension of both phones is quite significant. In an enclosed slide, X5 look wider, while the Wave 533 is longer than his opponent. With box-shaped, not wrong if you call X5-like "powder box", reminiscent of the Motorola Flipout. While the Wave 533 looks more 'normal' and like his brother Wave 525 and Wave 575.

Nokia X5 put microUSB and 3.5mm audio on the top side and volume control buttons on the right phone. Together with the screen, placed 5-way navigation button, two softkeys, call, end, home and the music player on the front. And of course a full QWERTY keyboard when the slider is open. Like the X5, Samsung Wave 533 also places a micro USB and 3.5mm audio at the top.
What is different is the volume button located on the left side being the right occupied the power button and the camera shutter. The front of the screen is put together with the call button, menu and end. No different from the X5, a full QWERTY keyboard on the Wave 533 can also be accessed after the slide is open.

Differences in the two cell phone keyboard also appears in its design. Owned X5 is more tightly with prominent form, while the Wave 533 owned are designed for flat and slightly wider area of ​​the separator between the keys. The size of each key on the keyboard is bigger than 533 Wave owned.


As for convenience, in our opinion, the design of the buttons on the X5 is more superior because of its shape which makes typing more "feel". Materials in Nokia X5 consists of quality metal and plastic, while the 533 Wave dominated plastic material that feels more "fragile".

Display & Menu

Samsung Wave 533 and X5 both use screen TFT LCD 256K color depth. But when talking about size, obviously much different, the display on the Wave 533 wider adrift almost 1 inch with Nokia's X5. In addition, the display on the Wave 533 also functions as a touch input panel, is owned X5 was limited as normal screen.
The orientation of the screen on the X5 is the landscape, while the Wave 533 is more dynamic. When the slide is closed, the Wave 533 is in portrait orientation and subject to change to the landscape position by turning the phone to the right or left because the sensor features an accelerometer that is embedded. And when using the keyboard, the screen orientation Wave 533 is locked in landscape position.

Entering the area of ​​the homescreen, by default X5 uses a user interface called Active Standby Homescreen. Available shortcut contacts, email, WLAN and a panel containing six application shortcuts that you can personalize as needed. If not changed the settings, the left softkey is dedicated to a list of contacts and the right softkey to access the camera. Users of Nokia phones faithful must have been very familiar with this view.

While Samsung's applying TouchWiz UI 3.0 on Wave 533 homescreen so that the view is similar to Samsung Android phone that also uses the same user interface. On the homescreen there are multi-desktop widgets that can be loaded with a variety of preference. This desktop can be expanded in number to 10 units. Simply wipe the screen to is left or right to move from one desktop to another. Also available are three shortcut icons on the bottom of the screen, each toward the keypad, contacts and messages.

Continuing to the main menu Nokia X5 displays various menu icons in the 4x6 grid layout, customized view standard Nokia phones in general. While the Wave 533, the display main menu is also similar to Samsung Android phone. Although presented in the order grid, multi-shaped main menu bar as well as on the desktop. And not unlike the desktop, the number of panels on the main menu can be expanded up to 10 units.

Wave phone also features a tray notification, similar to that belongs to the Android operating system. How to access the tray it was no different with Android, just wipe the finger from the top of the screen to the bottom. On this tray available facility that allows users to turn off/turn on the feature wifi, Bluetooth and silent profiles.

Both phones also are able to do multi-tasking, and to facilitate movement between running applications, both, also is equipped with features such task manager. To access this feature on the X5 just press the home key a few times. While on Samsung mobile this feature can be accessed by pressing the menu button several times. Features task manager at Wave 533 can also be used to close running applications, not so in Nokia X5.

Nokia C6-01 v.s. Samsung Wave II

This time we tried to bring together the two smartphones with embedded OS of their each manufacturers. Is Nokia C6-01 with Symbian^3 platform who will fight toughness of Bada v1.2 OS by Samsung Wave II. Symbian^3 is the latest platform owned by the Finnish handset manufacturer, while the Bada v1.2 is a brand new platform made ​​by Samsung. Both are widely used in some of the latest smart phone.

Design
Physically, C6-01 has a smaller size that is 103.8 x 52.5 x 13.9 mm and weighs 131 grams, when compared with Wave II, which has dimensions of 123.9 x 59.8 x 11.8 mm and 4 grams heavier than the C6-01.


Despite having a smaller form, Nokia C6-01 impressed luxury with the dominant color of silver metal, while Wave II combines a textured black metal combined with a glossy plastic material, especially at the top and bottom of the device. In appearance, both are elegant with a few embedded access typical of each standard cell phone.

C6-01 put the switch zoom / volume on the right side of the cell body, parallel to the switchunlock and camera shutter. While on the bottom of the device presented slot micro USB charger port, and 3.5 mm audio jack. On the front is dominated by the glass scratch resistant glass gorillas, which are placed switchmenu between the call and end / power. While the 8-megapixel camera is equipped with dual LED flash and multimedia speakers embedded in the back of the phone.

While the Samsung Wave II in the left side of the body there is a switch zoom / volume, and next present the camera shutter is parallel to the unlock switch. The face is roomy enough of this phone is scratch-resistant glass panels installed, Samsung calls it the 'oleophobic surface'.


Elegance accompanied by the call button and end / power between the unique-shaped menu button. On the back side of the phone pinned by a 5-megapixel camera and LED flash, both are quite interesting with a box shape. Combing the top of the phone, embedded multimedia speakers who accompanied ports 3.5 mm audio jack and micro USB for data exchange and charging interest.
Viewed from the side of design, both have a distinctive shape that is not owned by rivals. Nokia looks with tiny design is elegant, while the Samsung with luxurious character. However, although both are already supporting the presence of an external memory, not visible from both the presence of access in order to immerse hotswap memory card.

Operating Systems
Speaking of performance and characteristics, both are not separated from the mobile phone operating system platforms. Nokia comes with the OS that is expected as the latest generation of Symbian, the symbian^3. While the Samsung though appearing with the OS that was still 'green' play in the arena of smartphones, but remain confident with the latest version of the Bada, namely Bada v1.2 OS.

Camera
It is one of superior multimedia features of both, C6-01 comes with embedded powerful 8 megapixel camera that is equipped with dual LED flash, guaranteed while doing the activity record could produce optimal image. All are also supported by some excellent features in order to give effect and optimal results on the results. When tested in light and dark conditions, C6-01 can perform optimally. On camera, Nokia has cut its autofocus feature on C6-01.

Wave II, although quite simply with a 5 megapixel camera, but the wealth of features such as autofocus, face, smile, and blink detection, as well as touch focus, enough to enrich the taking pictures sector. The results also seemed perfectly when tested, although in moving conditions thanks to the support it has image stabilization.

Seeing the results on camera sector, Wave II clearly superior to the C6-01. Although lower in density of pixels, but the support the completeness of the camera features are quite capable of creating images and optimal recording results.

Multimedia
Although it appears improvised, with no enrich this section to a more detailed, but both C6-01 and the Wave, trying to spoil the user's ear by presenting the maximum audio output. Good when using headphones or external speakers are embedded in mobile phones.

With the support of multimedia speakers variant, C6-01 sounds pretty loud in both the music and recording format. Taste character in the audio can be selected through the equalizer settings. Although the physical multimedia speakers in Wave II looks small but able to produce audio loud enough, of course, also because of the role of equalizer settings in order to align the ears taste.

Both support audio formats MP3/WMA/WAV/eAAC + player. But the Wave II enrich themselves with the presence of music recognition in the ranks of audio features. Entrance to the video player, both perform optimally with MP4/MKV/H.263/H.264/WMV/Xvid/DivX format video player, which means that both capable of displaying a variety of video conversion to taste, either via downloads, and data. At Wave II, the video display capable of line with the accelerated user interface (UI), both vertical and horizontal conditions. While the C6-01 is only able to perform wide or horizontal.

Internet & Connectivity
C6-01 a little more speed than his rivals. 10.2 Mbps HSDPA speed of C6-01 is claimed as the cause of the weakness of Wave II in this sector. Some support for the interests of connectivity features in both phones. Nokia C6-01 for example, has pinned multitouch, SNS integration, and web TV. While the Wave II provides pinch-zoom feature, and quicktranslate, is the ability to do translation between languages ​​through Google Translate by pressing the selected text.

Bluetooth and wifi is also a connection that can not be separated from both the phone. But on the other hand C6-01 have access OTG (on the go), ie features that are able to align the phone with other devices, such as flash, keyboard, or between mobile phones. And Wave II also has the advantage with embedded features Mobile AP, capable of functioning Wave II as a portable hotspot wi-fl.

Apart from being a smart phone that is able to accommodate the interests of connectivity, entertainment, and office, both equip themselves with the performance of the processor and graphics chipset in order to optimize the platform.

As a supporter of the performance, the Nokia C6-01 equipped with the processor CPU 680 MHz ARM 11 processor, Broadcom BCM2727 GPU, as well as capacity 1050mAh lithium ion battery. Wave II manages to look better with support for CPU 1 GHz processor ARM Cortex-A8 processor, PowerVR GPU SGX540, Hummingbird chipsets, with battery-powered 1050 mAh.

Compare: Symbian^3 vs. Éclair vs. iOS4 vs. Blackberry OS6 - for Data Transfer & Sync, Digital Store, Multimedia, Gaming Experience & 3D Graphic

In this case, the exclusivity of the iPhone back to cause problems. iPhone 4 can not be detected as mass storage media when connected to a computer, but only as a camera that functions to transfer data in the form of pictures or videos taken with camera iPhone4 (on Windows PCs).

To synchronization data, iPhone 4 requires that Apple's iTunes software. Maybe for you lovers of Apple products like iPhone and iPod'm used to this, but still, this is a deficiency when compared with the convenience offered by the three other operating systems is enough to copy and paste to transfer data. iPhone also will not let you retrieve files from the phone except the pictures and video.

Digital Store
To enhance its function as smart phones, each operating system has been equipped with a digital application store. Digital stores will be very useful for you who are not satisfied with the default phone application.

Ovi store on the N8 actually not dedicated to the Symbian operating system, but for Nokia products. To access Ovi store, you need an Ovi account, which can also be used for a variety of services such as Ovimusic, Ovimaps and Ovimail. The system is applied to digital store for the other third OS, more or less similar to OviStore.

To download from App World you'll need a BlackBerry ID, is to Android Market you need a Google account, and Apple ID for iTunes Store and App Store.
The view was not much different, various applications are grouped into categories for easy searching. To make downloading applications, Ovi Store and App Store can do so via a data connection or wi-fi operators. While we are experiencing difficulties when downloading from the Android market through wi-fi. Even a BlackBerry's App World is accessible only if we subscribe to "BlackBerry Internet Service".


Multimedia
We did a test by entering some audio and video files in several different formats that are commonly used. All files try playing using the default multimedia player from each phone, and do not install an additional player who is usually developed by third parties.


After trying it appears that the most widely supported file formats is Android and Symbian^3, but Android could be said more allows users because all files are supported directly added to the library media player and music player, while on Symbian^3, files with extensions .flv, .wma and .m4a, although it is supported but can only be played through the file manager. iPhone 4 in this case can be said backward because again iOS specialize only to some types of files only.

Gaming Experience & 3D Graphic
We also do not miss trying to play games on their phones compared. We install the same game, which is "Need For Speed: Shift" on their respective platforms.
Unfortunately we could not find the same game or at least have the graphics level with this game for the BlackBerry OS 6. So we decided that the BlackBerry lost before the war, in this case.

From our glasses, we see that the Galaxy S displays the best graphics, 3D models are displayed looks perfect. Game was running smoothly without any lag.
Nokia N8 also displays a fairly good graphics, unfortunately some times games have lag when playing. In contrast, the iPhone run this game smoothly but it still looks noise at the edges of the 3D model of the car.

Messaging, Browser and Touchscreen (Symbian^3 vs. Éclair vs. iOS4 vs. Blackberry OS6)

Send message seems to no longer feature a second, on a cell phone because if we look at recent mobile phone users more likely to use this feature than a phone call, which incidentally is the main function of a cell phone. Send messages through various media, such as SMS, Email and even just to say hello through social networking.


To make the email settings, we found no significant difficulties because the process is relatively easy to understand. It's just a special BlackBerry (0S6) and Nokia N8 have to go through another process, namely register BIS for 0S6 and a similar process (registration) for the Nokia N8. When trying to setting up email on Nokia, we found a notification that requires us to subscribe to Nokia's Messaging and contact the operator.

To connect to a variety of social networking media were each operating system already provides some specific applications that can directly be downloaded via the digital marketplace that are available on each operating system.
Interestingly, by default Symbian^3 provides a "Social Network" and the BlackBerry OS provides "Social Feeds", both of which are applications that can connect you with various accounts of social networking sites which are owned, so you can simultaneously update the status on some networking sites social through this application.
Meanwhile, if the view in terms of comfort, physical keyboard which owned a BlackBerry would be added value for those who spend a lot of time to send a message, especially if you are not yet accustomed to using the touch screen.

To be more fair, we connect the four phones to wi-fi networks are similar to browser testing. In addition, we also delete all the cache, cookies, and history data from iPhone also all browsers. When used to open multiple Web pages including: gsmarena.com, amazon.com, uefa.com and several other sites.
Browser from iPhone 4 and Galaxy S turns to lead in terms of speed of opening Web pages. Symbian^3 in third place, while Torch is always left behind if only for a few seconds adrift.

In terms of appearance, the Android browser capable of displaying web pages more perfect than other operating systems default browser. While Safari as default browser of the iPhone 4 when displaying the page s60phone.blogspot.com seems there is an inscription that pile up, in addition to the images that are links to redpul.com not appear, though not up to the level of disturbing because it does not happen when visiting other pages.

To meet the need for surfing in cyberspace was the fourth browser is capable of opening multiple tabs simultaneously.
In terms of the ability to download, Apple's exclusivity seems to backfire, because at the time the browser from the three other operating systems can download various files (with extension .mp3, .jpg and .doc) directly from the Internet very well, iOS can only save the image displayed on a web page.

Following the development of the era, the four operating systems that became the object compare this time, also developed with a touch screen based. We assess the performance of touch-screen Galaxy S, N8, iPhone 4 is very responsive and intuitive. While there is still a lag on the Torch when.
Multi-touch technology was supported by all phones. This makes the browsing experience more enjoyable, because it allows us to zoom in on web pages, with a pinching motion on the screen or selection of text to the copy-paste. Not only useful when browsing, pinch zooming (zooming by pinching the screen) also work when we open an image file.

The Ultimate OS “Four Way Match”, Symbian^3 vs. Éclair vs. iOS4 vs. Blackberry OS6

Competition in the operating system more exciting, although overall Symbian still control the market, but its position was not exactly safe. Since the king of the virtual world of Google inc. launch of Android, slowly but surely this operating system eroding the leadership of Symbian. Meanwhile, Apple iOS competing with RIM's BlackBerry to overshadow Android.

This article will not discuss about the market share in the fourth OS which while it leads the market (Gartner). But it will share its experience operating the OS that one if compared to the other. In order to give optimal results, each operating system will be represented by mobile phones with the best performance in its class. Nokia N8 would represent Symbian^3, Android with Samsung Galaxy S, BlackBerry Torch for the BlackBerry OS 6 and the iPhone 4 for iOS.

User Interface

Basically, these four operating systems offer ease of operation. User Interface is attractive and sophisticated look impressed at their respective operating systems. On the BlackBerry OS 6, there is some development of previous versions. If you are a user of the BlackBerry OS version before then you will need time to adapt to using the latest operating system made by RIM.
One example found on the Home Screen. Where you'll find 5tray seen lined up, namely "All, Favorite, Media, Downloads and Frequent". This tray can also be opened and closed, so do not be surprised if when you press the menu button (bearing the BlackBerry), you are not going directly to the main menu such as the BlackBerry OS 5. Rather it must open tray "All" or pressing the menu button 2 times.
Although there is true development is intended to make it easier for users, but OS 6 is complicated even more impressed when first used.

Android version 2.1 in the Galaxy S appear more modest. Basically there are two main menus at Google's operating system, namely "Home Screen" (consisting of 7 pages that contain shortcuts and widgets, whose numbers can you add as needed) and "Application Screen" (featuring all the features and applications that were installed on the phone). To move between the two this menu, you simply press the icon on the bottom right corner of the screen.

A bit like Android, Symbian^3 has two main display, Home and Menu, not much different from previous versions of Symbian. For those of you loyal Nokia users will only need a few minutes before finally advanced to operate mobile phones with this operating system.

If the Android OS you should get into the Application screen to display all the applications on the screen. So in the iOS, features and applications that you install are shown directly on the homescreen. This means that iOS offers best in this side through its user interface simplicity.

There are similarities between the four operating systems that attract attention, which features "search" that can do a search application, messages, files, etc in the phone.
Of course, this feature will allow you to do exploration in the phone. Even on Android and the iOS, "search" can help you find any information in cyberspace.
Unlike the three other operating systems, by default Symbian^3 does not display the search feature on the start screen, but you can add the widget manually.

If we position ourselves as a new user, who did not know all four of these operating systems. So that feels IOS with iPhone 4 offers easy operation with display interface design that is simpler than the three other operating systems, but does not leave an impression of his high-tech.

Comparing a 12 Mpx: Nokia N8 vs. SE Satio (U1i)

The need to capture a personal moment in a photograph or video is increasing. Purposes also varied, some people taking pictures or video recording for personal documentation, while others were to be disclosed to others through social networking sites such as Facebook.

For some, the ability of the digital video cameras on the phone has not fulfilled his need for a camera, so usually choose to bring pocket cameras wherever they go. But now some vendors started to include camera phones up to 12 megapixels in the hope of meeting those needs.

In this article tries to compare the ability of the camera Nokia N8, against Sony Ericsson Satio. Both can be categorized as superior when talking about cameras, because both are measuring 12 Megapixel.

Operation
The existence of a special shutter button on both phones is something that has been properly held, given that the power of the camera features a very prominent. In addition to taking pictures, the shutter button on the phone also works as an auto focus like the digital camera. For the zoom, Satio equipped with physical buttons zoom in and zoom out so that the process of zooming become more intuitive. Unlike to the N8 the process of zooming to be done on a virtual panel.


Interface on both the camera feature can be quite easily understood. On view camera features Satio, on the left side of the screen you will find 5 different icons, each representing arrangements, such as choice scenes / presets, shooting mode, flash, exposure, and auto. On the right we will find an icon for the exit of the features of the camera and icons to go into the settings option.


Meanwhile, N8 interface appear more minimalist with only 3 pieces of icons on the right side, each one to switch to video mode, flash, and the settings menu. Also the zoom panel pinned on the left.
To switch to a video recorder mode is not difficult, because the existence of a physical button on Satio to move from photo to video camera mode is very helpful. While on the N8, like zoom to move to video recorder mode done on a virtual panel.

Indoor objects
The ability of the two cameras in the room could be said to be very adequate. When tested, both cameras can capture the sharpness of the well above average of most camera phones. Only when shooting with the help of flash, in a room with low lighting conditions both phones capture a slightly different color compared to the original color of the object. If N8 displays a slightly paler color than the original color while Satio produce a darker color than the original color. But the most into the record is the ability of the Nokia N8 are able to minimize noise which is not owned by Satio.

Outdoor objects
Just as when in the room, both cameras appear clearly in the outdoors. Both cameras produce images that are relatively balanced in terms of quality. Both the sharpness and color produced in accordance with the conditions of actual objects.

Macro mode
Macro is a common feature on high-grade digital cameras, but not on the phone. However, we compare these two phones both armed with this feature. By activating the macro feature, a camera to capture objects with very good sharpness, although in a very close distance.
When the two cameras to try to activate this feature, on the N8 to produce sharpness much better than Satio. Besides the colors more natural.

Video Recording
When talking about video recording capability, N8 had the upper hand. His ability to record 720p HD quality video is clearly not comparable with the videos made Satio that only in the quality WVGA only.
When recording video, it is felt that the censorship Satio work slowly so that when the video was recorded and played back the movement of the object looked like a stammer. The situation is very different from the video results from N8, which is able to produce HD quality video camcoder classmates.

Conclusion
Both phones clearly able to demonstrate superior quality as a camera phone, it's just that the ability of the N8 to reduce noise when operated in low lighting conditions can be spelled out incredible, and enough to make Satio overwhelmed. Yet both are relatively well-balanced performance, when used in good lighting objects. On the video, Satio obviously did not play in the same league with the N8. In terms of quality, N8 far left Satio.

Why Nokia did not use the processor as tight as its competitors?

Maybe you as a Nokia Smartphone users often wonder why up to release a phone with Symbian^3 OS still uses the hardware (processor and RAM), compare processor speeds is lower than its competitors such as Android, Blackberry and iPhone? Here perhaps is the reason.

Tank vs. Sedan
We know tanks must have a machine with more power than the sedan. However, why sedan can go much faster? Yup, It is very fitting illustration to describe why Symbian does not need the processor and RAM as Android or iPhone. Symbian operating system is much lighter than android and the iPhone, it (probably) due to user interface android / iPhone made appear very beautiful, elegant and memorable highly sophisticated and thus require more resources.

As a challenger who wants to grab market Symbian phones, of course, Android, Blackberry, and iPhone had managed to convince markets that they are better phones than Symbian, and for that, obviously the first impression should start from a good user interface. Maybe there is truth, without first impression flirting, how can make the market look new OS more distant? Therefore, they also need a higher hardware. While Symbian feel their hardware is more than enough.

Price
With a higher hardware, composition would affect the price. This must be the consideration of the Nokia for Symbian phones can also be cheap. Smartphone for all that ever buzzed by Nokia may be the indication.

Energy Efficient
Hardware higher result in more wasteful battery, (perhaps) Symbian think if the hardware now, the Smartphone capabilities required can be met, why increase the hardware that affects battery more extravagant.

Writing the above is personal opinion, not a word Nokia, maybe they have other considerations. If asked the best operating system that clearly go back to individual taste. However, obviously I like phones that cheap because why buy more expensive? If no excess is needed. Alternatively, maybe you prefer a perfunctory phone like the Nokia 1202 or 1280. Nokia 1202 and 1280 have a default feature that is not owned by Symbian, Android and iPhone.(adit38)

Dual Core Tegra2 Android vs iPhone 4

Fasten your seat belts for the faster and smarter smartphones that would go dual core in year 2011.

LG Star would be the first android phone with Nvidia Tegra2 dual core processor clocked at 1Ghz x 2. The UI on this phone is much like the Samsung Galaxy S, but the most interesting part of this phone is its dual-core processor.

GSM Israel has got the first handson video for the LGP990 (aka the Star) compared side-by-side with an iPhone 4.

The handset is powered by a 4-inch display and 8MP camera, as well as a front-facing counterpart and an HDMI port. At this time its running on a non-optimized Android Froyo, and is expected to improve speeds with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which would be optimized for dual core Tegra2 processors.

Nvidia Tegra 2 offers full support for real-time run Full HD 1080p encoding, In terms of build quality, its sturdy, combines elements of plastics and metal.

The screen is very bright and very high quality and even though it (apparently) is not a Super AMOLED or SLCD.

Despite running non-optimized Froyo 2.2, it is still very fast relative to all other Android device we’ve seen and iPhone 4 at everything. It performs equally well vs. iPhone 4 even when Flash is turned ON. Now that’s a big thing. With Gingerbread, native support for Dual core Tegra2 will be embedded into the kernel, and hence make the dual core phones perform much faster than iPhone 4 or any other device in the market.

Compare: WiFi vs Bluetooth 4

The future of wireless is very blurry to most users and most can't figure out what should they buy today to be future proof.

Bluetooth has long been limited to short range P2p connections or short range networks and Wifi had gained popularity for its better throughput for infrastructure toplogies and have failed to be a p2p media. This is set to change with next verisons of Bluetooth and Wifi.

Bluetooth 4.0 vs. Wi-Fi Direct

Both of these new specifications are promising learning from each others mistakes from past. Both have grown up to to make it easier for you to quickly transfer pictures, files and other data between two wireless devices such as your smartphone and laptop without the need for a dedicated device for Wi-Fi.

The Wi-FiDirect & Bluetooth 4.0 specs confirm that they would gaurantee fast data transfers over long distances between two devices. Wi-Fi Direct promises regular Wi-Fi speeds of up to 250 Mbps, yet,easier to configure than previous ad-hoc modes.

Backward compatibility

Wi-Fi Direct devices will be able to communicate with legacy Wi-Fi devices. That means if your next laptop has a Wi-Fi Direct chip, you will be able to create a device-to-device connection with your old wireless printer or wireless digital picture frame.

As I've already said, Bluetooth 4.0's new low-energy technology means that compatibility with older Bluetooth devices could get a bit messy.

Bluetooth 4.0 includes a power-saving feature called "low-energy technology." Actually, Bluetooth 4.0 is three Bluetooth specs in one. Bluetooth 4.0 not only uses the new low-energy technology, but also relies on high-speed data transfers introduced in Bluetooth 3.0and so-called classic Bluetooth technology found in older Bluetooth specifications. However, the worst part is that Bluetooth 4.0's low-energy technology is not compatible with existing Bluetooth devices, which in all ways is weird.

However, the rescue is in hands of manufacturers who could incorporate low-energy technology into a newer device using Bluetooth 2.1 or Bluetooth 3.0.

Speed

Wi-Fi Direct goes up to 250Mbps, while Bluetooth 4.0 would provide up to 25Mbps (similar to Bluetooth 3.0).

Network Range:

Wi-Fi Direct devices can reach each other at a maximum distance of 656 feet (more than two football fields) away. So, practically, even if it is half of that, it would connect all your devices across home, no matter how big is your place.

Bluetooth 4.0's maximum range is not dependent on the specification, but on the capabilities of the Bluetooth device. So as per manufacturers, a distance of at least 200 feet for a Bluetooth 4.0 device is something we would expect.

Power consumption:

Both claim to be of low power, but the question is how low?

The Bluetooth 4.0 uses the new low-energy technology (PDF) feature. What this means is that it can run for a year using a coin cell battery alone. However, such power mangement is only applicable when transferring short bursts of data. And not to forget, it would work with newer devices only.

The Wi-Fi Alliance says Wi-Fi Direct devices can support the WMM Power Save program that promises to improve a device's battery life by 15 to 40 percent over current 802.11n popular wifi standard. That means it would still consume 100mW or so.

Security

Wifi & bluetooth have suffered poor security in the past, but this is going to change with taping inherent security. Bluetooth 4.0 uses AES 128-bit encryption, while Wi-Fi Direct relies on WPA2 security, an AES 256-bit encryption. Both look great on this.

Availability

Bluetooth 4.0 products should start hitting the market before the end of the year or early 2011. But it looks like Wi-Fi Direct may be first out the gate. The Wi-Fi Alliance recently announced that five wireless networking PC cards from Atheros, Broadcom, Intel, Ralink and Realtek are Wi-Fi Direct ready and should be available before the end of the year.

Playbook, IPAD or Galaxy Tab, Who's Winning?

According to schedule, Research In Motion (RIM) just brings sophisticated tablet PC that is ready to head off Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab. BlackBerry Playbook, tablet PCs prime RIM launched on the sidelines of the BlackBerry Developer Conference (DevCon 2010).

There's nothing wrong with RIM steps spawned the tablet PC product. Although more popular with its BlackBerry devices, a number of parties considered an Internet-based tablet PC RIM's strong enough and has its own segment.
Indeed, in order to look attractive and can survive in the market, RIM needs to turn his mind to deliver a different product. Not only physical but also the operating system and its design.

Yes, if the BlackBerry Playbook aligned with the Galaxy Tab and Apple iPad, a visible difference lies in the size of the three. BlackBerry Playbook and Galaxy Tab had enough with of 7-inch screen, while the screen size Apple iPad nearly 10-inches.

If you include people who are highly mobile, Samsung Galaxy Tab and BlackBerry Playbook more suitable for light and simple. However, if you want a bigger screen, please select the iPad. All depends on individual taste.

However, for the resolution and sharpness of the screen, Apple iPad still champion. The product comes with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels on a screen 9.7-inch. These specifications are much sharper than the Galaxy Tab that comes with touch screen 7-inch WSVGA capacitive 1024x600 pixels resolution, or BlackBerry Playbook with multi-touch TFT screen for 7-inch screen resolution is 1024x600 pixels.

For those of you who are still undecided, the following comparison between the BlackBerry Playbook, Samsung Galaxy Tab, and Apple iPad is viewed from a variety of specifications:

As you can see, the BlackBerry Playbook is superior when compared IPAD and Galaxy Tab on the performance side, where RIM pin dual-processor 1GHz for Playbook. Meanwhile, the iPad was again defeated the BlackBerry Playbook and Galaxy Tab on the side of the camera. Galaxy Playbook Tab and each has two cameras.

This comparison can continue to change, as the emergence of updates for each OS. Now, please select the tablet PC which suits your needs and can support your lifestyle.

Test the performance of 13 Android phone

Testing a mobile phone exactly easy, but also practically difficult. Especially for mobile phones smartphones. Different screen sizes, different processors, to make this type of display parameters are increasingly diverse. Lucky, some application developers have prepared a tool to measure the performance of an Android phone in a simple and displayed in an index number.

The first step is to do factory reset on Android phones tested. This was done so that the benchmarking process was carried out on mobile devices such as setting initial fresh from the factory.

Step two, to log in using Google account. This serves to activate the feature market.

The third step is to download two applications for the benchmark Quadrant Standard Edition and An3Dbench. Both are free. Both applications were selected among other benchmark applications because it has an easy explanation and represent the information required to test the performance of an Android phone.

If you look at table 13 Performance Test Android phones, some phones have a blank index numbers. This means that the phone is not compatible with the two benchmark applications, or can not be done with the second benchmark application.

The fourth step is to conduct the test with a Quadrant Standard Edition. In this application there is only one choice which is "Full Run Benchmark." If you buy Quadrant Advanced or Professional version, then you will be given the option to conduct the test results will be displayed in a histogram, where the index will be compared with the standard index of some Android phones.

The fifth step is to conduct tests with An3Dbench result is the total index, will be known after testing is completed.

Then do a recap of the index test results by using the Quadrant and An3Dbench. The result can be read in the table below. Also screenshoot of each test as evidence the results of this research 13 Android phone.
