SAMSUNG GALAXY S4

SAMSUNG GALAXY S4

Samsung aims radius clamping the venerable Galaxy S4 to create the Mini GS4 . This smaller smartphone does not offer quite the full experience GS4 , but it comes pretty close.

Is this your guy?

The Mini is a smaller plug on Galaxy S4 flagship device from Samsung. It does not pack quite the same time as its big brother , but it still offers plenty of biting into a handset - easier to handle . If you like small , S4 Mini is an interesting alternative for today's behemoths .

BODY

Samsung made ​​a large number of smartphones, it is easy to confuse the S4 Galaxy Mini to one of the countless smaller, less expensive devices company . He bear some of the characteristics of the larger stamp of GS4 , however, give him a little more than a high-end look .

For example, the GS4 Mini door on my favorite detail of the design of the GS4 : the band as the metal around the edge. It is not made ​​of metal , mind you (Samsung says it is polycarbonate) , but it goes to the metal. This strip of polycarbonate is also incredibly strong, and gives the Mini a strong sense much needed . There are other chrome elements , like the grille covering the earpiece, and rims around both the home button and camera lens on the back , too.

The Mini has a textured look to the plastic that attracts the light and reveals a padded faux pattern held to certain angles. This design element is visible on the front and rear , so that further back . The dimples are not real , it just looks like him. The entire device is wrapped in what looks like the paint is shiny, smooth , reflective, and prone to collecting fingerprints grossly apparent.

The size is pretty good. It is almost identical in size to the Apple iPhone 5. This means it takes is comfortable and fits perfectly in the palm . It is light and strong. It will fit within any pocket without any problem . There is nothing cheap - feeling about this .

The face of the Mini is clean and in perfect harmony with the Samsung family devices . Shape, chrome , accents, the physical home button, etc. , are clearly cut from the Samsung tissue. The screen itself is 4.3 inches and there are capacitive buttons on either side of the physical home button below the screen. All buttons work well . Capacitive keys have good feedback and they light a little short.

The volume rocker is a thin strip along the left edge of the phone. It has a good profile and is quite easy to find. Travel and comments are excellent. The same is true of the lock button on the screen to the right edge of the phone. The headphone jack is on the top and the microUSB port is on the bottom .

The battery cover makes the entire back panel of the phone. As with all Samsung devices, there is a notch that allows you to remove the cover in a jiffy. The Mini has a slot in both the memory card and SIM card, but you must remove the battery to access it. On the other hand , you can replace the batteries if you need.

This is a good piece of equipment.

SCREEN

The display of the GS4 is one of its best assets. It can not quite be said for the GS4 Mini. It consists down the size from 5 inches to 4.3 , and 1080p HD qHD (960 x 540). I was hoping Samsung would at least give the Mini a 720p HD screen, but this is not the case . This is not a bad screen - not at all - but it is not the best either . You can see the pixels here and there and the items on the screen are not as sharp as I want them to be , but the display is much brighter and colorful . The viewing angles are excellent.

SIGNAL

The Mini performed on par with other Sprint devices when it came on the network. It connected easily and held on while the signal was available. The Mini was able to connect calls in the worst network conditions , but managed to drop at least a few. When a strong signal was available, the Mini was a champion in terms of calls and sending / receiving data connection. Deadlines have never been so impressive , despite the fact that we tested the Mini on LTE . The Mini is one of the first LTE -compatible tri-band devices with Sprint Spark, the jazzed -up Sprint 4G service . We tested the device in Manhattan, which is supposed to provide access Spark. As far as we can tell, however, the device does not have access Spark during our review period.

SOUND

I was especially pleased with the call quality using the mini . The headphone output voice rather sharp , but they are clear and audible in most cases with strong listener . I have not had trouble hearing callers in my house or outside , but the hiss of an espresso machine does its best to cover one of my conversations. ( The Mini supports HD Voice , but only when calling another phone HD Voice enabled . Both phones must also have access to LTE . ) The speaker sounded a bit rough for me, and the volume was not as strong as it should be. The people I 've talked to have said that I looked OK , but not great. Ringtones and alerts are all very well in terms of volume, and the buzzer was strong enough to attract my attention.

BATTERY

The Mini has a battery 1900 mAh inside , which is a bit smaller than the full size GS4 . The small screen does not need much juice to keep flowing, however, and the Mini is able to get only one full day on a single charge . We tested it on LTE and does not seem to much of a dent in the battery life . Most users should be able to get a whole day before the Mini, but not much more than that. I urge every night.

HTC ONE

HTC ONE

  After months of waiting, the lighthouse $ 199.99 HTC One has finally landed on the Verizon network. Its sexy, aluminum design to its Sense 5.0 interface attractive and seductive 1080p display, the HTC One has received well-deserved praise since its debut in March. But the HTC One worth waiting for Verizon users? Read on to see how it compares to the competition.

DESIGN

HTC One is the sexiest Android smartphone yet. With its slender frame and aluminum body plated lighthouse HTC is the first Android phone that rivals the iPhone 5 in terms of build quality and finish.

One HTC (Verizon Wireless)

HTC said it takes 200 minutes to cut each machine a device, and that the effort is evident throughout the form factor of the handset. The company uses a process called zero gap injection molding combine aluminum front and polycarbonate back with the sides, top and bottom. This gives the handset a smooth feel and the premium we prefer the plastic housing on other smartphones, like the Galaxy S4.

DISPLAY

4.7-inch, 1920 x 1080 Super LCD screen 3 HTC One has rich and beautiful visuals. The trailer for "Thor: The Dark World" was strong and colorful on the screen of HTC One, especially during scenes with explosions and gunfire outdoors. When we watched Thor standing in a field holding his mallet, velvet red cape jumped on his brown-orange background. Even with the zoom camera, the face of Chris Hemsworth looked sharp. We could even make tiny bits of straw on the ground.

5-inch, 1080p Super AMOLED screen of the Galaxy S4 is beautiful, too, but the colors looked more specific about the HTC One. This was particularly evident when examining the skin tone on the face of Natalie Portman, who was much more lively and faithful to its true foundation on the HTC One.

AUDIO

HTC BoomSound called for a reason. , Speakers facing forward double provide One standout feature of this phone . When blasting "Smile Like You Mean It " by The Killers with Beats Audio on, one pumped crystal clear tones that were perfectly balanced. We heard the crash symbol drum mixes well with synth and guitar melodies during the opening riff . Voice rang Brandon Flowers set and colorful during the verse and chorus .

We noticed a marked difference in playing the same song on the Galaxy S4 . Speakers lighthouse Samsung sounded a little hollow , and the various instruments have not managed to blend well as they did through the speakers One.

HTC Verizon One is as strong as the Galaxy S4 Samsung and Apple iPhone 5 with Beats Audio enabled. All three handsets have reached 81 decibels during PORTABLE Audio test , which measures the volume of the speakers of a smart phone on the distance between the screen and the user's nose (13 inches). Off with Beats Audio , the HTC One was a lower decibel (80).

INTERFACE

Android 4.2.2 with HTC Sense 5.0 interface on top, the most interesting and important feature of the interface is BlinkFeed One . This software reserves that one of your home screens and provides a steady stream of updates from various sources , including social media and information sources. HTC organizes updates thesis in a mosaic screen reminiscent of the interface on Microsoft Windows Phone.

You can handpick the sources thesis by the wizard BlinkFeed configuration , while allowing you to choose from sources such as the Associated Press, the Huffington Post and ESPN. HTC allows you to browse through different categories : as a business , technology , politics and more. Social media options are Facebook , Twitter and LinkedIn.

Just above thesis new updates , HTC displays a large clock , date, your next appointment and time. While this is useful , we hope HTC has included a mail widget to the top of the power supply with this information.

HTC (Verizon Wireless) BlinkFeedIf BlinkFeed is too busy for you, HTC offers the possibility to use it as a secondary home screen and a more traditional layout Adding instead. In the lower part of the traditional home screen, you will find the telephone buttons , messages, menu applications, browser and standard camera. Thesis options above are shortcuts to Play Store and back Verizon applications.

Application menu HTC One generally cleaner than most Android phones look - and offers the possibility to change the size of the grid layout. This means clustering, you can view the applications or a 3 x 4 or 4 x 5 grid . You can choose to sort ALSO applications alphabetically or by the most recent. The top screen of the app includes shortcuts for shortcut Google Play store , search and settings.

The notification of the drawer appliance is relatively basic with respect to that of the Galaxy Samsung S4 - too basic . You can toggle " shortcut and function of power settings Saver s , while the S4 A notification drawer s allows you to set a range of features, such as its brightness , Wi -Fi , Bluetooth screen rotation of the screen and the multi- window mode.

PERFORMANCE

Packed inside the aluminum body of the One is a 1.7 GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 600 with 2 GB of RAM, making it one of the fastest Android phones on the market . We pushed by Blinkfeed of one and launched applications quickly and free of lag.

He quickly transcoded a 204MB video file 1080p 480p using Vidtrim . HTC 's flagship took 7 minutes and 33 seconds to complete this task. This demonstration beats the smartphone category average , but is not as fast as Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4  or Motorola Droid Ultra  .

Not only does the HTC One proves quickly under daily use , it also performed well on synthetic benchmarks. Quadrant , which tests the CPU , I / O and 3D graphics for Android devices, Verizon HTC One received a high sky 12150 , which is more than double the average of the 5607 class. It also beats 1.9GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Verizon Galaxy 600  and Motorola Droid 1.7 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro Ultra .

During Geekbench , which tests the overall performance and speed of the processor and the memory of the device, the HTC One received 1855. This score is still higher than the 1842 average smartphone category , but it does not come close to that of Verizon Galaxy S4  or Motorola Droid Ultra  . However , this index beats the Apple iPhone 5  by a decent margin .

Flagship HTC had no problem breezing through the ice storm graphics 3DMark test. With a score of 12,009 , the HTC One beats the average smartphone category  and the Motorola Droid Ultra  and Samsung Galaxy S4 .

CAMERA

HTC has apparently left the megapixel race in favor of its own sensor camera for a Ultrapixel . Translation: one has a great image and an opening of f/2.0 lens to capture 300 percent more light sensor, which can be handy when shooting in dark environments .

One HTC (Verizon Wireless ) Outdoor PhotosDuring our Shootout camera smartphone, the HTC One came second in the production of the best low light image without flash. By comparison, the Galaxy S4 captured the worst shot low light during the same circumstances, we could hardly see our subject. The Lumia range of Nokia is leading in this category .

Outdoor photos look pretty good , too. Our picture of a street corner in New York City with Empire State Building in the background on a cloudy day showed accurate colors . Windows and grooves in the buildings along the side of the street have been defined, but the Empire State Building looks a little washed out against the sky. The same photo taken with the Galaxy S4 showed much more detail in the skyscraper , but the colors were much darker. Another image of colorful hats stand on a street vendor had the bold and dynamic and air , especially a pink and white hat.

A video shot with the camcorder from the HTC One seemed clear and colorful as well , especially the brilliance of a taxi drove by the corpus luteum. Shades of royal blue in the dress of a woman also jumped into the gray streets of New York City context.

BATTERY LIFE

Running on the Verizon network, the HTC One lasted 5 hours and 44 minutes in the laptop battery test, which consists of continuous surfing the web with the brightness set to 40 percent. HTC One lasted longer than the Verizon Galaxy S4 and Motorola Droid Ultra, but has failed to meet the average battery life of the category for smartphones.

NEXUS 5

NEXUS 5

Pros: Very good performance, useful new features in Android 4.4 KitKat; Much cheaper than compating flagship phones 

Cons; easy design soft grip touch: the camera needs improvement;Show a little cloudy 

The Verdict: The Nexus 5 offers fast performance , a brilliant Full HD display and lots of new features of Android KitKat, all for a very affordable price out of contrat price

REVIEW

NEXUS 5 has all the makings of one of the best values ​​in the world smartphone. With only $ 349 unlocked version of the 16GB (399 $ for 32 GB), and Google Nexus 5 is $ 250 to $ 300 cheaper than the other principal organs without a contract, such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5S Apple. So far, this device made ​​by LG Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 800 packets faster and full HD screen of 5 inches. The other reason for wanting this smart phone running Android 4.4 pure KitKat, which brings new features such as voice search on the main screen and smartphone app. See if the Nexus 5 steals

DESIGN

The Nexus 5 has a fairly discreet aesthetics compared to its predecessor. While the Nexus 4 sported a rear glass stains as you kept dancing subtly at different angles, the Nexus 5 is more utilitarian. It has a soft touch black back with a large logo embossed Nexus running vertically in half. (You can also order blank.) The chrome edges of the Nexus 4 have given way to soften the black plastic around the perimeter of the Nexus 5. This is a completely bling-free phone, which, while lacking emotion, vibration corresponds to the free software supporter.

The right side of the Nexus 5 houses the power button and the SIM card slot, while the lines of the volume control on the left side. A microUSB port, flanked by two speakers, sitting on the bottom, and there is a headphone jack up top.

DISPLAY

The screen of 4.95 inches Gorilla Glass 3 in the Nexus 5 is above average , but not the best in its class. On the plus side , the panel Full -HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels , resulting in the text and pictures are fun - tack sharp , if we were scrolling through home screens or display sites web . This screen is also very bright , recording 460 lux ( 408 nits ) on our light meter . It is brighter than the category average ( 396 lux ), the HTC One ( 439 lux) and the same as the Galaxy S4. However, the Galaxy Note 3 ( 539 lux) and iPhone 5s ( 500 lux) are the brightest time.

To measure the image quality of the Nexus 5, we saw the trailer in HD for "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" in this device and the Galaxy S4 at the same time . In the foreground of Donald Sutherland 's face , we could easily distinguish more wrinkles around the eyes and strands of his beard on S4. The colors were also more saturated in the Samsung AMOLED screen also blacks were blacker . Viewing angles are not the Nexus 5 so generous , the images looked a bit faded by comparison.

AUDIO

Speaker Nexus 5 is fine for listening in a quiet room, but does not produce the strongest and cleanest sound. The soundtrack in the trailer "The Hunger Games" sounded suitably grave with his haunting horns, but the voice of Dave Grohl in Foo Fighters "Times Like These" were hard at maximum volume. The rear speaker Galaxy S4 got stronger on the same track, even though the same number of decibels as the Nexus 5 in our test (81dB) was recorded. This is slightly higher than the category average 80db. Another negative point about the sound is that it is too easy to muffle the sound while playing games in landscape mode.

CAMERA

On paper , the Nexus camera of 5 sounds like a serious step above its predecessor. A new lens captures more light, unincorporated optical image stabilization and a new HDR + promises better day and night shots. Unfortunately, the Nexus 5 is not impressed in our tests.

5 Google Nexus ( unlocked)

Not only was the Nexus 5 Smooth camera to focus and shoot ( sometimes a little more than a second ) , a picture of a flower and some decorations for Halloween took on a yellowish tinge on a cloudy day . The same photos taken with the iPhone 5s seemed cleaner and sharper , more accurate colors. The Nexus 5 fared much better on a sunny day , capturing a crisp shot of a tree with orange leaves and a bright blue sky.

5 Google Nexus ( Unlocked ) The Nexus 5 fell flat when we take a picture of an American flag and dimly lit porch . The photo was blurry and out of focus , with reflection in the note from a light nearby. Kick the iPhone 5s ' under the same conditions exhibited some noise, but it seemed much clearer in general. An interior shot of a bowl of apples with flash looked good, but almost too hot.

The good news is that Google said it is working on an update to improve the camera experience .

BATTERY

The Nexus 5 packs 2300 mAh of battery, which provides decent but not great battery life in our tests. In the test laptop battery, which involves continuous surfing the Web on 4G LTE (use AT & T) at 40 percent brightness, this phone lasted 6 hours and 11 minutes. That runtime is better than iPhone 5s 05:46 ', but below the average smartphone (6:30) and Moto X at AT & T (6:34). The Nexus 5 is not in the same league as of 10:42 G2 LG, which has a 3000 mAh battery.

With light use over a day to moderate - including checking email, participate in a conference call 30 minutes, take some photos and streaming music on Spotify - the battery dropped to 15 percent after 9 hours and 11 minutes. Therefore, you may be able to make it through the night on a charge, depending on your usage patterns.

LG G2

LG G2

 LG is hedging its bets on a variety of different ways. The phone is packed to the gills with the best parts of the technology available and the focus of LG software seems to be "if you do not like what we do and then changed. 'But this power and gel variety on phone actually wants more than all others?

DISPLAY

LG G2  is weakest of how it looks and feels . There is a phone that gives a good first impression , and this is a terrible shame . You need to know the G2 to love , but many people never do even more with it than a passing glance at the phone shop .

LG chooses a shiny plastic chassis , which will remind some of the older iPhone 3G and certainly not the latest models of Apple. Up close, the battery cover has a subtle fabric I texture to it , which is very attractive, but almost invisible unless the phone is at the correct angle .

The more feature that attracts the attention of this design is the decision to put the power and volume buttons on the back of the phone , rather than along the sides. The three buttons sitting on a line directly under the camera lens , and while it may seem difficult to understand , how to make buttons easy to distinguish without looking.

The problem is that you constantly touch the camera lens on the search button , and then spend time to clean the lens before taking a shot. This, and no creation there seems no good reason to put the buttons on the back. We did not find this to be more convenient positioning buttons on the side, and more difficult in some situations. However , it feels like change for the sake of change.

Also, you can not take the battery cover of G2, so that the battery is not accessible, and it must be the first phone from LG without a slot for microSD cards for a long time.

DISPLAY

The physical design of the phone may not be innovative, 1080p resolution 5-inch IPS screen is a pleasure. This screen is bright, crisp and very sensitive to touch .

LG is proud to be able to bring the experience of its engineers for their smaller TV screens , and it's easy to see why. With the brightness ratcheted up to 100% is almost painful to see this screen. This also means it is excellent for outdoor use . Even in the bright morning light , we can still display in the G2 clearly right brightness setting .

With the power button on the back of the phone , LG has presented a " double tap " Wake and sleep command for this model. If the phone is in standby mode, you can double tap the screen to get it going . When finished , you can double tap to put it to sleep - but this only works if you tap a blank section of one of the home screens. If you touch an application in place, will be launched .

This has become one of those features that we miss as we have no more . Having gone to a different phone now , we continue to find double tap the screen to wake it up , only to meet with disappointment.

CAMERA

Unlike many of its biggest rivals Samsung and Sony, LG has no camera department scream for help when drawing up their phones, and it shows in the photos G2 adopted.

That said, there is some hardware that sounds awesome on this camera. LG chooses an image sensor of 13 megapixels - in line with the Galaxy Note 3 - and includes optical image stabilization, or moving parts to help eliminate hand tremors.

These photos are not terrible, but not great either. Are suitable for flicking around, but problems with the resolution of mixed light temperatures and clear pixelation means you can not always trust the G2 to drive far. Moreover, it is unlikely you will come away with one of those really amazing sometimes photos taken with an iPhone or Nokia.

PERFORMANCE

Coupled with the fantastic display, the performance of G2 is one of the main reasons to consider buying this phone. LG has some of the best materials today putting the G2 components together, and it shows in the fluid daily handling of the phone.

Better yet, it has a larger battery in a phone of this size, and while the screen is doing its best to suck the juice down, we still found that we had the power for two days in most case. Heavy use will challenge this assertion, but in our tests, we always found closer to the end of the second day before the power given.

OVERALL

The LG G2 gets the basics right, with first-class performance and battery life and one of the best touchscreens on the market. If you know how to add to this equation by uploading your own software changes from game store, then you're onto a winner with the G2.

If you are looking for the complete package, the G2 could disappoint. LG software suite is a strange mix of tools, most of which you never use, and the camera does not compare to the big names of photography smartphones. It is the physical design is also lacking that wow-factor you get the first time you see a phone like the HTC One, for example.

This is a frivolous list of negatives, and if you insist on better battery life on a beautiful phone, you must add the G2 to your list of handsets see for yourself....
