So yesterday was Apple event where the bitten fruit from Cupertino announced the IPhone 5.
The IPhone 5 is...well...like any leak so far, and everything but revolutionary. It comes with a 4 inches 1136x640 pixels (not even 720p) screen with a ppi of 326 (the same like the 4 and 4S). Apple claims are the first to fit the sensor into the screen which makes the screen more responsive and bright (Sony wants to do something similar to their new line of Xperia devices). Also because the screen is now bigger, they were able to put an extra row of icons on the screen. An interesting thing is that because of the bigger screen the old apps that aren't yet compatible with the new size will run letter-boxed. The CPU inside is the new Apple A6 (about we don't know anything so *insert number of cores here*) and it comes with a gig of RAM. Apple claims a two times more processing and video power from the CPU/GPU combination over the 4S while the chip itself is smaller and less power hungry (it consumes the same amount of power as the old 4S which might mean that the chip is built around Samsung 32nm HKMG process). The usual storage combination for Apple is present with 16, 32 and 64 GB models. The connectivity will be covered by Wi-Fi, 3G and LTE aswell as GPS with GLONASS support. Apple claims that because of the new manufacturing proccess now the differences from unit to unit are more like microns instead of milimeters. Another funny detail is that the LTE modem is a separate unit rather than built in the CPU so more than sure there is no Krait inside even though people think it might be an ARM Cortex A15 dual-core inside. Also it will use nano-SIM instead of micro-SIM or a regular size SIM. The camera is almost the same unit as the 4S one, with the same 8mpx but Apple added a Panorama Mode that they call it revolutionary (Android had this since ICS) and the abillity to snap photos while recording videos (Galaxy Nexus could do that). Also there are 3 Mics inside for Noise Cancelling (one in the front, ome on the back and one on the bottom) for HD Voice and the Face-Time resolution was bumped to 720p and now is avaible trough 3G also not inly Wi-Fi. And there is no NFC inside. The device itself is made entierly from glass and aluminium. It's still unclear if the device will be a global device with LTE and 3G but if not, there will most likely be two or more models (with Ev-Do also, I guess). It also comes with a new conector (and if you want an adaptor for all your old accesories you need to pay around 30$ to Apple for it), a new set of headphones that are redesigned and iOS 6. Also along this new IPhone they launched a 4 inches IPod touch base of the CPU of the 4S and the screen of the 5 and a new redesigned IPod Nano that looks like Lumia 800 or like two old nanos stacked up on top of each other.
*Update* The CPU is aaprently a Cortex A15, dual core, based on the 32nm Samsung Exybos 5 Dual and a Power VR SGX 543MP4 just like the one in the A5X. We still need confirmation on this one. Great, Samsung!... Thanks for putting your next-gen CPU in the IPhone.
*Update 2* According to AnandTech the cores are actually custom made Apple Cores. Not A9, not A15 but somewere between them just like Krait. Even though early benchmarks show simmilar (even if not quite the same as some more powerfull One X and SIII) performances to the top dogs Android smartphones, the IPhone is run by still a dual-core 1ghz CPU.
Over to other news:
A leak from Motorola emerged today. The design is the same as the Razr M and it could be the Intel Made, Razr M like device, that we heard about it might hit Europe. Also there are details that Intel could crank the CPU frequency of this device to a full mighty 2GHZ to be able to compete with the Quad-Core devices. The device should be based on the same qHD SuperAMOLED Advanced as the Razr M and it should have the same design. And an interesting detail is that Intel finalised the Jelly Bean port to ther Medfield Android platform so if you have a device based on Intel and Android expecr a Jelly Bean update soon. I want to remeber all that the Medfield is based on Intel ATOM x86 architecture with PowerVR GPUs. If this 2GHZ Razr M will hit the Europe like that we'll have to wait till the Intel and Motorola event that will come up soon. And by the way: the name for the device apparently is Motorola Intel M so it will most likely be like a Nexus from Motorola for Intel.
And speaking of Jelly Bean, there are rumours about an October time-windows for Galaxy S III update and a November time-windows for S II. Thanks, Samsung! Also apparently Galaxy S Advance and Mini/Ace 2 will skip ICS to be upgraded straight to Jelly Bean sometime in Q4.
That's all for today! See you next time!
