HTC One

                                   

HTC is up with it's new flagship phone with 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) out of the box and later upgradable to v4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) and powered by new Qualcomm’s new quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, a remarkably powerful chip with Quad-core krait 300 CPU which is clocked at 1.7GHz and adreno 320 GPU which is  accompanied with 2GB of RAM inside, plus the standard set of radios and sensors: Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, Wi-Fi, DLNA, Miracast, an accelerometer, gyroscope, and GPS, there's even an IR blaster embedded in the power button which is a useful one for controlling the tv and guess what it run android on the new SENSE5 skin which has many features like blink feed and completely redesigned app launcher and has a  ultra-pixel camera  and Dual frontal stereo speakers with beats audio sound enhancement


The look is great and the uni body aluminium shell takes much time to manufacture. It has a 4.7 inch Super LCD3 capacitive touch screen, 16M colors with a resolution of 1920x1080p which gives a pixel density of 469 ppi (highest till now) and was protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 2. This comes with internal memory of 32/64 GB available in black, silver and red colors

Blink feed:
The new features of htc sense 5
simply pick the social networks, news and feeds you want to stay updated on and they'll all stream live to your home screen. 

Ultra Pixels Camera:

4 MP, 2688 x 1520 pixels, auto-focus, LED flash

Features:
video stabilization, HDR, streo sound rec. and 1/3'' sensor size, 2µm pixel size, simultaneous HD video and image recording, Geo-tagging, face and smile detection.

And capable of capturing 1080p@30fps also has a secondary camera of 2.1MP

This is where htc tried to show off their new camera technology ultra pixel (even commented on the pure-view technology which nokia is using in it's flagship phone nokia lumia 920) it takes low light pictures with a bit of brightness but unfortunately it did not go well in quality of pictures even in daylight photos lack the quality and also for manufacturing the ultra pixel camera lens is time taking ,so there is much delay in shipping the htc one to customers and the rate of production is also very slow

Sense Voice:

It includes dual built-in microphones that detect loud ambient noise and will then dynamically boost the in-call voice to compensate. 

Now about the battery it is a standard Non-removable Li-Po 2300 mAh battery whose performance is average it lasts slightly better than the Droid DNA

                                                               

I think it is the phone with most divergent opinions, for some it a great phone,for some it a an avg phone. Depending on the users use

No-doubt  it will be top in all benchmarks and a performance beast and those who want performance or mostly using for gaming can go for this phone where as people who uses camera more should be away from this phone

what do you think abt the phone? Does it suits you and why? leave it in the comments

Samsung Galaxy S4

Long wait has gone and samsung announced it's latest flag-ship phone galaxy S4

This time Samsung  mainly concentrated on the software part rather implementing the hardware and design 

Let's see the specs of the samsung S4

with the dimensions of 5.38x22.75x.31 inches and weighing about .29 pounds looking similar to galaxy s3 the s4 is a bit bigger than the S3 . It has a 5 inch super AMOLED HD display

with 1920x1080 resolution capacitive touch screen

Out-of-box it comes with android 4.2.2 with TouchWiz skin on it 

Nothing much to talk about the hardware may be the octa-core processor seems a little   interesting   but the benchmarks shows that it was out performed by the snapdragon 600 and the snapdragon 600 version of the S4 seems to be highly benchmarked but octa-core failed and hence nothing to say abt hard ware . Also has some features like wireless charging and screen that can react to gloves which were already introduced by nokia

But it Packed some interesting software components not much (i.e only eye tracking and gestures) . You can see the following video to know abt those software . 

Lets see how it  compeats with other devices in the market

The camera software in which we can pause a particular part and play other was same as in nokia Lumia 920 and the Regarding eye-tracking LG  claims  it already has patent rights on that let's see what Lg decides whether S4 has it's patented features or not when it realeses
