Today's news

And for today's news I want to talk about Nokia, Motorola, Apple and maybe Samsung and Sony. Nokia first then. As some of you might know, I used to own a Lumia 800. I absolutely loved it's shape and design but the software blew the amazing phone it was. If it had Android I would probably still have it. Today Nokia launched their (Lumia 800 and 900) sequels: the Lumia 820 and 920. First the 820 has a Snapdragon S4 dual-core CPU (same as 920), 8gigs of internal storage and micro-sd, 1gig of RAM, a 4.3' ClearBlack screen unit (assuming Super AMOLED WVGA) and an 8MPX sensor and of course Windows 8 but the design is nowere near the old 800. The 920 has the same CPU and RAM but comes with a fancy 4.5' Screen that Nokia calls Puremotion HD+ with a strange 1280x768 resolution. It appears to be a LCD unit. Also it has a Pureview branded 8.7mpx Image Sensor (different from 808 41mpx one - this actually kills the Pureview thing) that has Image Stabilisation and something called Floating Lens (allows more light to the sensor and better image stabilisation). From storage standpoint it has 32gb of storage and no micro-sd apparently. From a design standpoint: is gorgeous. This is the phone that follows the 800 and 900 from the design standpoint. Both phones have wirless charging and NFC. Even though they are appealing devices, they most likely won't save Nokia from going banckrupt. Now Motorola: They will anounce the Razr M and Razr HD soon. Both with 4g LTE. Both with S4 CPU. Both with 1GB of RAM. Both with Android. Both for Verizon. The M highlight is the 3MPX front facing cam while for HD is the 720p screen. More details to come. Also Moto will have a conference witb Intel where is expected a new Intel.powered Android smartphone. Now Apple: The IPhone 5 will launch on 12 september. Nuff said. The design is apparently the same design it has been leaked several times. Sony: They launched a new line of Xperia smartphones, all three with Android and S4. They have different designs and screen res (including 720p) and one of the has13mpx I believe. Samsung: A new SIII with 2GB of RAM for Germany, the Note 2 was launched and looks like the Note 1 combined with SIII. Also JB update for the international SIII is coming and from latest two leaks Samsung is testing more RAM to our devices. Last one has  833 mb of RAM. Will have to wait and see. And also there are rumourd about a new HTC Flyer 2 to feature Snapdragon S4 and to compete with Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire. And about Kindle Fire, there are new images about the sequel, Kindle Fire 2 and it looks ugly. There appeared some renders of a great slider Nokia device with MeeGO that never made it because of Nokia. Thank you Nokia! That looked like an amazing device. Also they talk about a mid range Lumia with WP8 with the same hardware as 610. My question: wouldn't be simplier to just update 610 to WP8, keep users happy, not spending money on a new device and not loosing users? Apparently not. Also the Lumias will come with a new encryption system that is based of unique keys planted in a chip so now custom ROMs and no hacks. And Samsung tries a new thing with the updates. They try to revive the interface to the latest version for every phone. The Note already recieved this update and it now has the Note 2 and SIII TouchWiz Nature UX Also there are rumours about an edge-to-edge Motorola smartphone for Q4 but...wait and see. Those are today's news. See you later                 Left is 920, righr is 820.                               Note 2                           New Xperias                              Iphone 5              Razr M to the left HD to the right
