Nexus 4, the most desired smartphone

 

A few days ago we told you about a tablet Bq Spanish brand that was sweeping in sales for its features and price. Well, today we present the smartphone(JIAYU G1) that is devastating for the same reasons, impressive specifications and a greatly reduced price. This time, the guys at Google have teamed up with LG to offer a terminal that does not leave anyone indifferent, the Nexus 4, a powerful terminal that is making things very difficult for the Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 , see their features.

 

Equipped with a quad-core(ThL A1) processor speed to 1.5GHz, 2GB of RAM and a 4.7 inch screen, we can say without fear of contradiction that is the most powerful smartphone today. The Qualcomm chip S4 Pro Quad Core 1.5 GHz working with the GPU Snapdragon 320 is a high-powered team to move any app or game that boasts today.

 

With a simple aesthetic and low risk, the Nexus 4 invites to us to test their raw power, both hardware and software.

 

Its size is very similar to Galaxy S3 while its thickness is slightly larger.
Nexus 4 screen is covered by a glass of Corning, Gorilla Glass 2, resistant to shock and scratches. This 4.7-inch screen IPS True HD Plus offers a resolution of 1,280 x 768 (320 dpi), virtually the same as Apple's Retina Display screen, with deep black levels, vibrant colors and a very powerful brightness.

 

LG's alliance with Google assures us the latest from Android(THL W6 MTK6577) in this terminal, the newest version is the 4.2 Jelly Bean is coming and installed. With this version we can use Photo Sphere to capture 360-degree images and apply filters and effects. Whether navigating the different desktops as opening menus and apps is smooth, without delays.

 

So much power needs a good battery, the Nexus 4 2100 mAh equips one whose performance is similar to the Galaxy 3, providing power for a full day and a demanding application. Thanks to Wireless Orb can leverage technology to recover Qi wireless charging battery charging with times similar to those offered by microUSB charging. The terminal is anchored to the dock with a magnet, so we put in a portrait or landscape.

 

The most obvious disadvantage is the lack of microSD card slot, this prevents us from expanding your memory, leaving little scope to terminal.
Another drawback is its stock, demand has exceeded all expectations and is currently sold out, hopefully soon solve the problems of stock.
In short, a powerful smartphone, which offers the latest technology to 299 euros, if we want the 8GB version or $ 349, if we opt for the 16GB capacity.

2013 will be the year of phablet (which Apple likes it or not)

Gaining craze of smartphones(JIAYU G1) XXL. More and more companies prepare models with a display of over 5 inches and while the sales increased. But what will Apple?

 

It is said phablet a smartphone(ThL W3+) with a 5-inch or more, a kind of phone that aspires to be a tablet becoming very little pocket. For a long time, this unusual hybrid has caused widespread hilarity in the hi-tech. Just think of the reception given in 2010 to what can be defined as the first phablet, the Dell Streak, a device with a 5-inch touchscreen that many dismissed as an experiment without the possibility of the future.

In less than three years later, that group of skeptics is forced to change his mind, since devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note now have a very good market success. In addition, all indications suggest believe that 2013 will be the year of phablet g- THL w5 mtk6577.

Last year, the market phablet, reached 25.6 million units, and the market research agency iSuppli IHS does not hesitate to predict that by the end of 2013 this figure will more than double share exceeding 60 million.

"The transition to an offer of smartphones with larger displays reflects the efforts of hardware companies to differentiate their products," said Vinita Jakhanwal in respect of IHS iSuppli "As consumers increasingly require a visual experience as realistic as possible , the tendency to offer similar devices is perfectly understandable, especially considering the increase of high-definition content accessible via smartphones. "

But there are those who are much less cautious. The experts at ABI Research, for example, do not hesitate to opt for a "flood of phablet" for 2013. According to a report published at this time, by January 2014 phablet sold on a global level will exceed 150 million units, bringing to represent 18% of the global smartphone market.

In the light of these predictions is not surprising that the entire mobile landscape is converting its production strategy to include in its park new smartphone models XXL. Even Apple has always been suspicious of screens too generous, has fallen under the spell of the 4-inch iPhone 5 and, wanting to listen to the latest rumors, is preparing to launch from here a few months a new model 4.8 inches.

But for once, Apple is likely to come to the party late. Anyone who has followed closely the recent edition of CES, you know what I mean. While in Cupertino cross swords to determine whether the iPhone deserve a size XL, some of the most important hardware industry giants are preparing to launch on the smartphone market size XXL, with a display that in some cases exceed 6 inches. This is the case of Huawei, which presented a 6.1-inch smartphone. A record, in terms of touch, that soon she could be subtracted from Sony. According to some leaked images in the last hours, the Japanese company would in fact working on a smartphone with 6.4-inch with a resolution of 1080p.

Meanwhile LG has revealed that the next G Optimus Pro will have a 5-inch screen, and rumors that the company would be ready to launch another model by 5.5 inches. The same applies to ZTE, which with its Grand S has joined the family of the over-5 inches.

In short, there is no doubt that the market is going through a phablet encouraging, this does not mean that these giants will be able to establish itself as a standard. There is a strong slice of users who probably will never go to a mobile phone XXL, for reasons of convenience, price, design, or for the simple fact that they use their smartphone to enjoy multimedia content in high definition.

In China, the Coolpad smartphone exceeds Apple sales

Analysts back to say with conviction that Apple would produce a new low-end iPhone for emerging countries. The news today in fact, that a low-end smartphones(ThL W1+) has managed to overcome Apple's sales in China. Obviously for Apple China is a huge market with the number of inhabitants (and possible consumers) in excess of one billion.

 

What you see in the picture is the Coolpad: a smartphone(JIAYU G2 xda) produced by China Wireless Technologies Ltd. and sold at a price of $ 99. This smartphone, like many other devices, has managed to establish itself in the Chinese market thanks to its affordable price to most of the population.

In terms of sales managed to exceed those of Apple for its iPhone and the manufacturer expects further sales growth of 40% compared to 2012.

According to several analysts then, Apple should produce a low-end iPhone to sell in emerging or developing. In this way, the California company could penetrate the low-end smartphone(ThL W3+) market dominated by Android devices.

In recent times, however, even Verizon is complaining of iPhone sales: the company has declared that 50% of iPhones sold in the last quarter of 2012, were predecessors to 5.

In China it is estimated that in 2013 will be sold as much as 44% of smartphones more than in 2012. For Apple this data could be very interesting, especially in view of the fact that the company has fallen from fourth to sixth place in terms of total sales in the Asian country.

Start of pilot project: Smartphone replaces cash

After a trial at the University may soon be paid in catering at the station by mobile phone - JIAYU G2 dual core. The trade will follow.

 

Dusseldorf. Student Linda Ruping and her classmate David Jungblut agree: "The system works great." By smartphone to pay for three months of their bills at the cashier of the lively bistros Ex Libris on the campus of Heine University - the coffee, the cake or the meal.

The company pay cash, a Luxembourg supplier of mobile - THL w7 review, cashless vending, has tested the system since the summer in the capital. "There are in Dusseldorf, the highest use of smartphones," says founder Marcus Becker, so he starts with his colleague Jürgen Wolff right here. In addition, the city is one of the leading locations for mobile technologies. And there were a lot of young people here. The money transfer via smart phone is in the Düsseldorf students also successful. 40 percent of the visitors had the necessary app Bistro (an add-on pack) previously installed.

How it works: After installing (see info box) type in the customer the amount (1.70 euros for a coffee, for example) by selecting "Pay". Thereby a so-called QR code is generated and displayed on the display. This smart phone(THL v12 mtk6577) is held to the reader and the amount from there with "Confirm" transferred. While retail customers so their amounts charged by mobile phone "slide" back and forth, they require a reader dealer. For this transfer to pay cash, according to Becker makers require a fee of 1.5 to two per cent of the amount.

Stockheim starts in late January with eight farms in the station

"This is more economical than the system of payment cards," says Philipp Wichert. The floor manager goes home the same with eight catering establishments such as the Sushi Factory in Central Station at the end of January. Using the new method of payment at the start "250 000 people pass through here every day. . Many of them have the problem that they have not any change boys "Even for the" bad ball "which is supported by floor home in the Rhine terrace, expects Wichert an easier business:" We can no longer keep the change at 3000 guests with car transport. "

If the pilot project at the station just as successful as at the university, wish Becker and Wolff offer the system to the retail trade.

A million sales of LG's flagship smartphone, Optimus G

In the entire third quarter of 2012 reached 7,000,000 LG sales with its line of smartphones.

Nearly four months after the launch of G Optimus smartphone - ThL W5, LG has just announced that it has sold over 1 million units, according to information from Korean news agency Yonhap.

LG Optimus G went on sale in Korea last September and were pioneered in other countries in October. This puts a million sales far behind rival phones from Samsung and Apple.

The Galaxy S3, for example, has achieved 41 million in sales channel since its launch last May, and Apple sold more than 2 million units of iPhone 5 in just its first weekend available in China - THL w6 smartphone.

Optimus G is still preparing to land in China but the company hopes to promote it and later this quarter in Europe.

In the entire third quarter of 2012 reached 7,000,000 LG sales of its smartphones. The company is optimistic about growth in 2013 and expects to sell 45 million smartphones(thl v12 specs) this year. This could be a challenge, given the time it has taken to reach this fall G Optimus his first million.

However, this model has become for the Asian manufacturer in one of its most striking and powerful devices on the market. Both its design and ease of operation have been key to stand as one of the most balanced smartphones in the industry.

Not for nothing was the basis for making the Nexus 4, in which LG expects a substantial increase in sales of its smartphones, and has received high praise at CES 2013, recently held in Las Vegas. Its design, features and brand respect for the environment have been applauded.

Cheap Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus comes

Price attack from Samsung: cheap version of the successful Galaxy S series, plus S2 for 325 euros.

 

Save with Samsung: The Koreans have their successful Galaxy S series now also in a cheap version. End of January the Galaxy S2 Plus - JIAYU G2 plus, the launch costs around 325 euros, according to experience soon but probably still cheaper to have.

B.Z. reveals whether the savings Handy earned his "plus".

At first glance there is no difference for Galaxy S2 from the year 2011 can be seen, the predecessor of the current flagship S3 (from 425 euros). The hardware is identical to the little things. Only the store can now expand via SD card to 64 GB, with the previous S2 there were only 32 GB.

The main difference is under the hood. While the original S2 still waiting on the update to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean - JIAYU G2S, this much improved version of Android is installed on the new model from the factory. It includes several new features, such as Direct Call (Call no green button, just the Galaxy to the ear) or Smartstay in which recognizes the phone, if your eyes look at the screen, and the brightness adjusts accordingly.

Interestingly, the S2, that was a year ago, one of the best smartphones in the world, in its new version for bargain hunters - and for all, that the current smartphone(JIAYU G3 case) giant S3 (with its 4.8-inch screen 12.2 centimeters ) is just too big. Because the S2 Plus, at 4.3 inches (10.9 centimeters) still comfortably compact. Small but perfectly formed!

Nexus 4, the short-lived smartphone

Despite being one of the most anticipated smartphones(JIAYU JY-G2) of 2012, it seems that LG has stopped production of the manufactured device with Google.

 

Who wants to be a Nexus 4 will have to wait a while ... if it returns to have the opportunity to buy it. And although this was one of the most anticipated phones of 2012, (and this year, given the number of people who left with the desire to buy it), it seems that LG has decided that for now will not build more terminals smartphone(JIAYU G3 accessories) marketed by Google.

James Fisher, vice president of LG, said at the recent CES in Las Vegas that the Nexus 4 was only "the first of many" products that your company works closely with Google. The negative interpretation of this phrase is that there will be no Nexus 4 - JIAYU G3 battery, the positive is that there will be a Nexus 5.

Since leaving the Nexus 4 has generated great excitement, especially for the price, subject to which LG and Google had its pluses and minuses. The fact that it was so difficult to buy a unit in Europe, sold out in hours, surrounded him with an aura of legend, or demonstrated that the number of units available for sale was really small, selling almost dropper, such mode time to market experiment or trial.

Now it seems that LG wants to focus on their upcoming device, so the Nexus 4 has been relegated to the background. However LG denies itself the Nexus 4 production has stopped completely, and claims that are false rumors that the company is working on Nexus 5.

But if there will be, at least for now, a new smartphone from LG, what is exactly what happens in Nexus 4 and why LG does not increase the production of this device? Why deny that you are working on a Nexus 5, when almost certainly will?
