Google Nexus 4 review: Royal road!

At only $300 SIM-free (when most flagships charge $200 on a 2-year contract), the Nexus 4 flaunts a 4.7" WXGA IPS display and the most powerful chipset in an Android phone at the moment. It has of course the latest Android OS and it will be the first in line to get the new ones as they come in. If you are after an Android smartphone, it's hard to find reasons not to buy a Nexus 4, but some nagging doubts linger after the LG Optimus G review, where not everything turned out all roses and sunshine. Having spent some time with the Nexus, here's what we think are the headline features and what could've been better. Key features::
Flagship specs at a bargain Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support Penta-band 3G with DC-HSPA, up to 42Mbps downlink, HSUPA up to 5.76Mbps uplink 4.7" 16M-color WXGA True HD IPS Plus (768 x 1280 pixels) capacitive touchscreen, Gorilla Glass 2 Stock Android OS v4.2 Jelly Bean, fast updates Quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU, 2 GB RAM, Adreno 320 GPU, Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset 8 MP autofocus camera with LED flash and geotagging, face detection, Photo Spheres 1080p video recording @ 30fps with continuous autofocus and stereo sound 1.3 MP front-facing camera, 720p video recording Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct and DLNA GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS 8/16GB of built-in storage microUSB port with TV-out support Bluetooth v4.0 Standard 3.5 mm audio jack Voice dialing Accelerometer and proximity sensor Active noise cancellation with dedicated mic 2100mAh battery Wireless charging (works with any Qi-compatible wireless charger) Main disadvantages No microSD card slot, no versions with more storage Mediocre display sunlight legibility Non user-replaceable battery Camera is less than stellar, no shutter key either No LTE support (not official anyway, and then only one band) The two biggest complaints since the LG Nexus 4 was announced have been the limited storage and the lack of LTE. But even those things can be overlooked as LTE networks outside the US are just getting started and unless you play a lot of 3D games or have a huge music collection, 16GB should be adequate. Anyway, the Nexus 4 looks certain to unsettle the competition. If it's available through the Google Play Store in your country, it's practically cheap enough to buy on a whim. With no contracts to worry about, we think there will be plenty of fresh Android converts.
Google Nexus 4 by LG in our office:: And that's the main goal of the Nexus line - encourage people to use Google's services. Once you're in, you can buy music, TV shows, movies, books, magazines, get cloud storage and documents, even buy stuff in the real world with Google Wallet. The limited inbuilt storage begins to be less of an issue if you use Google Music and Google Drive, you don't need to store all that much locally. The Nexus 4 is based on the LG Optimus G, so expect there to be a lot of similarities between the two phones but it also shares DNA with the pervious Nexus phone.

Noisy neighbours meet again in Manchester

England: Manchester City FC v Manchester United FC (Sunday 14.30) Sir Alex Ferguson labelled United's defending in last weekend's 4-3 win at Reading FC as "like a cartoon cavalcade", with eyebrows being raised at the usually obdurate Red Devils' vulnerability to crosses. "It's a worry, a concern," added Sir Alex, whose side have fallen behind in 15 games this season. "If we perform like that on Sunday, God knows what'll happen to us." Still, United's subsequent 1-0 home defeat by CFR 1907 Cluj hit them significantly less hard than a 1-0 loss at Borussia Dortmund and an early exit from Europe did City, who trail their neighbours by three points at the top of the table. "Now we've got to move on," said City midfielder Scott Sinclair – and what better way to do so than by creating a bit more noise to unhinge the neighbours?

Celtic colts, Kolarov's 'mare and a gift horse

"No one gave us a prayer going into this group," said manager Neil Lennon, who was unable to watch as Kris Commons converted the penalty which secured victory against FC Spartak Moskva and sent Celtic into the UEFA Champions League knockout stages. The Bhoys defied expectations throughout, with emerging talents such as Victor Wanyama, Fraser Forster and Tony Watt to the fore. They gained a first away win in the competition, at the 21st attempt, in Moscow on matchday two, before a stunning 2-1 victory against FC Barcelona at a jubilant Celtic Park. Despite those two results, SL Benfica were second going into the final game, but as they were held by Barça, Commons' strike sparked Celtic joy. For captain Scott Brown, this is just the beginning: "I don't see why we can't go further in the competition."
Goal: Ivan Krstanović (GNK Dinamo Zagreb): Such was the delirium that ensued after Krstanović's 95th-minute penalty against FC Dynamo Kyiv you could have been mistaken for thinking Dinamo had won the UEFA Champions League. In fact, the forward had just earned the Croatian side their first point in this season's tournament – his goal ending a ten-hour drought in UEFA competition − and ensured Modri avoided equalling RSC Anderlecht's unwanted record of 12 successive group stage defeats. Krstanović's celebrations in the snow, shirt above head and mobbed by jubilant team-mates, were a sight to behold. "We all knew the negative records, but we managed to score," said the 29-year-old. "For the penalty, I just took the ball and didn't think too much."

SAMSUNG GALAXY CAMERA GC100 REVIEW!

The Samsung Galaxy Camera is one of the most exciting devices to come out of IFA. It's not the first Android-powered camera, but even if it manages a tiniest fraction of the Galaxy S III sales, it will give Android solid footing in the point-and-shoot market. Samsung Galaxy Camera live photos Guts-wise, the Galaxy Camera is based on the Galaxy S III. It has a 4.8" 720p screen, though it's an Super Clear LCD instead of S III's Super AMOLED screen, which had excellent sunlight legibility (an important feature for a camera). Unfortunately, we couldn't test how this screen handles sunlight (it's quite late here in Berlin), but Super Clear LCDs have pretty decent record, too. To give you a feel for the size of the camera, it's actually a bit shorter than the S III - 128.7mm vs. 136.6mm. This is because Samsung cut out the hardware controls and moved the Android keys on screen. Make no mistake, the Samsung Galaxy Camera is a big digicam and handling it doesn't feel anything close to handling a smartphone. At 19.1mm in its thinnest point, it's rather thick, and at 305g, it's rather heavy, too. The extra thickness was needed to enable goodies like a pop-up Xenon flash and 21x optical zoom lens. A look at the pop-up Xenon flash from the red Galaxy Camera • A look at the task manager The top of the device features a standard hardware shutter key with a zoom control around it. The control serves as a volume rocker when the camera is not active. A longer press on the shutter key activates the camera. The bottom of the device is pretty standard fare for point-and-shoots - you get a standard tripod mount and a big flap that covers the microSD and SIM card slots and the removable battery. There are two things we wish were different here - having a regular-sized SD card and a battery with a bit more juice than 1,650mAh (even the Galaxy S III battery is 27% bigger). The right side of the camera has a traditional grip, which adds to the thickness, but really improves your hold of the device. We quite liked the Expert mode on the camera. It presents a user interface that's modeled after a DSLR lens - you get several spinners that can adjust things like aperture, shutter speed, ISO and exposure compensation. The max aperture of the camera is F/2.8, which isn't quite ideal. There is full manual mode as well as Av (aperture-priority) and Tv (shutter speed priority) modes. Camera interface Even though the devices present at the event are not finalized, we managed to run some benchmarks and snap a few sample shots. You can find the benchmarks on the previous page, here are the camera samples (they were shot in 16:9 mode, so their resolution is 12MP): Samsung Galaxy Camera sample photos (12MP, 16:9 mode) The good news is you're not limited to using Samsung's camera app if you find it too confusing (some of us did). You can use Instagram, or any other camera launcher from the market, but chances are it won't give you the kind of control the default app does. The optical zoom doesn't work with other apps just yet, but there's an update coming that should fix it. Samsung Galaxy Camera hands-on video We also shot a video of the Galaxy Camera in action, to give you a better feel for device itself, the gallery app and the camera interface.

Nokia Lumia 710 review: Smack in the middle

Nokia Lumia 710 has a tall task at hand. The second brainchild of the Nokia- Microsoft partnership is the budget-friendly option in the lineup. It will try to entice first time smartphone buyers, while battling the Windows Phone establishment in the face of HTC and Samsung.
While the upscale Nokia Lumia 800 is clearly the object of more attention for its impressive build and superior features, the Lumia 710 is expected to sell in bigger numbers and perhaps bring higher profits. From a business perspective, the smartphone is even more important than its flagship sibling.

Nokia Lumia 710 official photos
Just don't take the budget reference to Nokia Lumia 710 at face value. Because of Microsoft's strict hardware requirements for the Windows Phone platform, the smartphone has the same 1.4GHz Scorpion CPU and 512MB of RAM as the Lumia 800, therefore promising identically smooth handling. In order to maintain the budget status and keep the price down, Nokia Lumia 710 has less built-in memory, an LCD screen instead of AMOLED, and a 5MP camera. Its design is less ambitious than the flagship's, but the Lumia 710 is still solidly built, even if not as good looking.

Nokia Asha 200 review: Dual SIMpatico

Nokia's Asha is back for another round of bargain basement action and we find ourselves wondering how much cheaper it can get. Most of the time it makes sense to be skeptical of the lowest bidder but we've found the Finns' budget lineup to be efficient and dependable.
So, cheap it is. And although there're lots of bad ways to be cheap, the Nokia Asha 200 seems to get it right. It's a QWERTY messenger with dual-SIM support. There isn't a whole lot more to it than that - but Nokia are getting ready to sell big. You don't offer eight - repeat, eight - paintjobs unless you anticipate huge demand.

LG Optimus Vu does a photo shoot alongside its biggest competitor...

n case LG Optimus Vu's teaser from a couple of days ago got you curious how a 4:3 aspect display might look like, we have some good news for you. A photo of the device has emerged, where you can see LG's upcoming phone/tablet pose next to its biggest competitor (or inspiration?) - the Samsung Galaxy Note.

As you can see from the photo above, the screen of the newcomer is wider than the unit of the Galaxy Note, despite its smaller diagonal - all thanks to its 4:3 aspect ratio.
A screenshot from the LG Optimus Vu from the same source hints at its software capabilities too. The phone will likely do some tricks, which will resemble the Samsung Galaxy Note's functionality.

We haven't learned more about the specs, than we know already. They include a 1.5GHz, dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, 1GB of RAM, 8 megapixel camera, 8GB internal memory, NFC, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and the impressive 5" IPS display with 1024 x 768 pixels resolution.
It shouldn't be a surprise if we see the LG Optimus Vu break cover during MWC at the end of this month. Naturally, we will update you accordingly the moment we find out.

Samsung Galaxy S II HD getting a UK release?

For those of you unfamiliar with the HD version of the Galaxy S II, the main improvement is, you guessed it, a bigger screen—4.65in@720x1280px to be exact. It also features an upgraded 1.5GHz processor, and a more robust 1850 mAh Li-Ion battery.

The ad (now gone from Mobicity’s UK site) is found as a full-fledged listing on Mobicity’s Australian site, although it is listed as pre-order when we last checked. Whether the ad was shown in error or Mobicity jumped the gun by promoting a UK release remains unknown, but a UK release is not out of the realm of possibility, especially considering Samsung could unveil the Galaxy S III at MWC next month.

Galaxy S8600 wave 3

It's an easy one to miss. With Mango phones coming from far and wide and droids well at cruising speed, a new smartphone on an emerging platform is going to struggle to get noticed. Apparently, Samsung are in a mood for a fight. The third generation of the Wave is here to make a difference. The Samsung S8600 Wave 3 runs a completely redesigned Bada OS 2.0, and flaunts a bigger and better screen. It's blazing fast too on that 1.4 GHz Snapdragon....It's an easy one to miss. With Mango phones coming from far and wide and droids well at cruising speed, a new smartphone on an emerging platform is going to struggle to get noticed.

The Samsung S8600 Wave 3 runs a completely redesigned Bada OS 2.0, and flaunts a bigger and better screen. It's blazing fast too on that 1.4 GHz Snapdragon.......For people coming from Android, the limited supply in Samsung’s app store will be a major question mark. But the Bada app store has been building up content. It's still a long way from closing the gap but on the leaders but there's been enough progress to convince users to leave some of the prejudices at the door. Anyone looking at this new Wave with an open mind may find it fresh, efficient and friendly. But well, the Samsung S8600 Wave 3 will have to do its part too.............
