Nexus 4 Android 4.2 Smartphone Review
|
|
Today we're taking a look at Google's new Nexus 4 smartphone driven by Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. With a single unbroken piece of Gorilla Glass up front the Nexus 4 looks very clean and it makes a nice change from the buttons and branding you'll see on most other smartphones. It's also quite unique if you flip it over: the phone has a series of dots below the glass surface which reflect light randomly and give a very nice look to the device. On the other hand, you do need to be mindful that there is an awful lot of glass on the Nexus 4.
The screen is a 4.7" IPS panel with a resolution of 1280x768. It lacks some of the saturation of the AMOLED screen on the Galaxy Nexus but it's still among the best smartphone screens out there with good viewing angles and improved brightness. Under the hood you'll find a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad core processor clocked at 1.5GHz with Adreno 320 graphics and 2GB of RAM along with either 8GB or 16GB of storage and a 2100mAh battery...

Samsung Flip Cover for Galaxy S III and Note II Review @ Legit Reviews
|
|
After you use the Samsung Flip Covers for several days you quickly used to them and flipping the cover open, so it wasn`t annoying or a major nuisance. The best part about the Samsung Flip Covers is that you do not have to worry about scratches when you slip the phone into your pocket and it adds very little thickness to the phone. The worst part of the covers is that it does pretty much nothing in terms of drop protection..."

HP Mini 1103 Review @ TechReviewSource.com
|
|
?The HP Mini 1103 is a 10.1-inch basic network that is budget-friendly and has a good, solid build. It also has fantastic battery life, but lacks the performance of other dual-core netbooks because this model only has a single-core CPU. It also lacks a few other things, but remember, it`s budget-friendly.?"

Mophie Juice Pack Battery Case For Galaxy S III Review @ Legit Reviews

Galaxy SIII, iPhone 5, HTC One X+ and 8X shootout
|
|
When we look at the quality of recorded video on the Samsung Galaxy S III, Apple iPhone 5, HTC 8X and HTC One X+, the iPhone 5 comes out as winner, even if it's not by much. Runner-up is the Samsung Galaxy SIII, which has reduced sharpness when you enable image stabilisation. When it's turned off, the Galaxy SIII looks better, but then the footage is jerkier instead. The camera of the HTC 8X records very sharp but slightly dark video.

Samsung Galaxy Xcover review: robust smartphone
|
|
The Samsung Galaxy Xcover did not really manage to impress us. Granted, a rugged smartphone isn't judged by its performance, and the Xcover has been out for quite a while, but the performance is too mediocre to ignore it completely. The hands-on experience with this phone wasn't any better, we were not impressed by how slow everything went. Add to that the poor screen with low resolution and brightness, not to mention the viewing angles, we see no reason to not spend a little more money and instead buy the Sony Xperia Go. For slightly more you have durable phone that's more recent, performs better and has a much better display.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini – a small S3
|
|
The Samsung Galaxy S III Mini convinces as a smartphone. The hardware may not be the latest and the greatest, but it's powerful enough to ensure a smooth user experience. However, the 'S III' in the name creates expectations that aren't entirely met. Sure, the software and all the features are there, but the hardware just is a bit too underwhelming. Especially considering the £300 you'll reportedly be asked to pay for this device. If you're not particularly bothered by the software and all the interesting features it has to offer, then the Galaxy S Advance may be the better option for you. This has the same hardware, but doesn't give you the 'S III' look and feel. It is, however, cheaper than the Mini.

Samsung Galaxy Note II Review
|
|
The Samsung Galaxy Note II is big. Colossally big. It's important to get that description out of the way because anyone who sees or holds the Galaxy Note II will have no choice but to be taken aback by how large is the phone-meets-tablet.
The same predicament made doubters believe that the original Galaxy Note was too big to succeed, but millions of phones sold later, that proved to be a false prediction. The Galaxy Note II is a smooth and dynamic experience from top to bottom. It's probably too big as a phone or too small as a tablet for most, but many will find it's a comfortable compromise between the two form factors.
