Samsung Galaxy Nexus Makes The New Design Conform To Your Need

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus looks a lot like a Galaxy S II, but it’s a bit more ergonomic than its AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint predecessors. It has more curves and fits the hand better, despite having a larger screen than almost any smartphone before it (4.65 inches). The rounded ends of the Galaxy Nexus freshen up the square look of the S II, and Samsung has integrated Google’s slightly curved screen design, which makes the new design conform to your face as you hold it, ever so slightly.

Aiding this rounded design is a complete lack of any navigation buttons. On every Android phone before it, there has always been physical or haptic buttons for back, home, menu, and search, but since the new version of Android has onscreen navigation, it no longer requires these. The Galaxy Nexus may have fewer physical buttons than any device before it. The phone has an almost completely black front, which has an elegance to it. The only disturbances to this are a somewhat visible hole for a front-facing camera, and a small earpiece up top. The notification light is no longer green anymore. It’s now larger and resides on the bottom of the phone, centered beneath the screen, glowing white (and possibly other colors) when you miss a call, text, or email.

Like all Samsung phones this year, the Galaxy Nexus does have a plastic frame, which is a little unfortunate, but it doesn’t ruin the phone’s premium feeling too much. As with the Sprint Galaxy S II, the camera is rounded and centered at the top of the back, and the battery and SIM are protected by a snap-off plastic backing that has some texture to it, which makes the phone easier to keep a hold of (that’s the theory, anyway). A single Verizon and Samsung logo also adorn the rear, and the bottom has a bit of a hump where the antenna resides as well as a rear speaker grill. Thanks to the rounded nature of the phone, this antenna protrusion isn’t as horribly noticeable as on devices like the Droid Razr.

Button placement was made with careful consideration to the size of the phone, which is nice. Unlike the Galaxy S II models, the power and volume buttons are well placed on the right and left side of the phone, respectively. They are both located a quarter to a third of the way down the phone, but this design works well due to the somewhat odd way we must hold a phone of this size. The placement makes the size more manageable.

Specs and Screen

Google’s new phone doesn’t have the absolute highest specs out there, but it’s pretty close to the top rung. The Galaxy Nexus runs on a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, has 32GB of internal storage, and operates with 1GB of RAM. (That’s what the official specs say, at least. We can only account for about 768MB of RAM.) The cameras aren’t overly impressive from a numbers point of view either. The rear camera is 5 megapixels and the front is a 1.3-megapixel.

More impressive than the raw specs are some of the small bonus features Google and Samsung have included. Many of these (accelerometer, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, gyroscope, and digital compass) are fairly standard on high-end phones, but there are some other cool features like a near-field communications chip (NFC) and barometer are pretty cool. We don’t know when we’ll actually use them, especially since Verizon has banned Google Wallet, but if you’re a tech geek, you know it’s better to have a feature than not. If you have any friends with a Galaxy Nexus, you can use the NFC technology to transfer documents, web pages, games, and other content by having the backs of the two phones do a moon landing and touch. Finally, the Nexus also has a wireless charging spot on its side that would allow it to plug into a dock and charge without actually having to plug in. Hopefully such a dock will be released in the future.

Powerful Blackberry Phone

Blackberry U.S. communications equipment in the " 911 incident " almost across the board paralyzed, but U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's phone BlackBerry functionality, successfully carried out the wireless Internet to receive real-time information on the disaster site, anytime, anywhere. In the United States set off a burst of blackberry craze. The U.S. Congress during the adjournment of the "911 Incident" rationing every Member of a "Blackberry", so that Members can use it to deal with affairs of state.

Subsequently, the portable e-mail device soon became corporate executives, consultants, and each of Wall Street businessmen standing electronic products. So far, RIM has sold more than 115 million BlackBerry, accounted for nearly half of the wireless business email services market.

Samsung Galaxy Note In Particular Leads The Trend

To be completely honest, while we’re entranced by its considerable charms, we’re not overly sure what to make of the Samsung Galaxy Note (or GT-N7000, for the model number fetishists). No matter what anybody tells you, it’s not a phone, even if you can use a normal talktime SIM in it and make calls. Nor is it a tablet. It’s a bit of both, yet neither at the same time. Samsung has, quite simply, devised a new category. And for want of a better word, we’ll call it a phablet.

Samsung would rather we call it "a new kind of smartphone", but then backs that up with the marketing tag "Phone? Tablet?", so we’ll stick to phablet for no other reason than that we’re particularly obstinate. Oh, and that "Tone" is the name of our local kebab shop owner. He does share one thing in common with the Galaxy Note though; you can’t reasonably fit him in your back pocket either.

Indeed, any review of the Note that starts without first alluding to the screen and, in particular, its size is to be immediately dismissed, the reviewer vilified, and the publisher sent to Coventry - not ignored, literally sent to Coventry. It’s massive (the screen, not Coventry). In fact, it’s mahoosive - and you can’t get a mightier adjective than that.

It's huge

The display, you see - and you will, from a distance - is a whopping 5.29-inches, thereby making the device itself much wider and taller than a conventional smartphone, even something like the HTC Titan or Sensation XL. It's 82.95mm wide, 146.85mm tall and 9.65mm deep. It's also weighs in at 178g, but we’re not concerning ourselves with waistlines here. Compare that to the Samsung Galaxy S II, for example, which is 66.1mm by 125.3mm, and you have a "smartphone" that’s around 25 per cent larger. And the S II is no pipsqueak itself. Against an iPhone 4S, it's positively gargantuan.

So, while the Note might look tiny in the hands of, say, Lawrence Dallaglio or William "The Fridge" Perry, it’s a veritable monster when gripped by a normally-sized specimen of humanity. To use is as a phone, to hold it to your ear, is to readily accept that you are happy to look like a tool. Or a child mucking about with his dad’s handset. If you’re actually a child, you’ll look more like you’re warming your face with an iPad or Galaxy Tab.
Although its enormity is the first thing that’ll strike anybody when examining the Galaxy Note for the first time, the screen has a hidden charm that provides a more than capable distraction from its freakish mass. It’s a talent that is instantly apparent from the moment the device is powered up.

Stunning display

The Note has, quite simply, one of the most beautiful displays we’ve ever seen. Until we see the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 on these shores, this phablet sports the best mobile display Sammy has ever released commercially. The HD Super AMOLED technology is similar to that used on the S II but, with a WXGA 1280 x 800 resolution, it’s much clearer and well defined. It’s sharper too, with 285ppi (pixels per inch) rather than the 216ppi of its smaller smartphone stablemate.
Colours are equally as impressive; wonderfully vibrant and searing - when you up the brightness of the screen from its "out of the box" default setting, that is. But the sheer wow-factor all comes down to the resolution really. In fact, there are few peers that can hold their own in comparison. Perhaps the Retina display on the iPhone 4 or 4S, but neither offers the same real estate, and when you combine such clarity with a decent footprint, you get a device that you’d happily stare at indefinitely.

Dual-core power

Under the hood, the Note features a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, which keeps things moving at pace, although, at times, you do notice the response time of the S Pen fractionally dragging its heels. We suspect that this may be a software issue, and new apps may be more responsive, but it’s something that you’ll have to get used to for the time being. Certainly the CPU can’t be at fault.

Sounds good

Audio-wise, the Galaxy Note is equally as compatible with a swathe of file types; MP3 (naturally), AAC, AMR, WMA, WAV, FLAC and OGG. Plus, when a pair of headphones are connected - either the one’s that come with the device or your own - there’s an on-board FM radio (the headphone cable acts as the antenna, so it won’t work without them).
Playback quality is decent and as expected from a multimedia device. It depends on the headphones you use, but the phablet offers up plenty of bass and clarity through Samsung’s proprietary Music Player with SoundAlive. And, as with all Galaxy products, there’s the company’s Music Hub, powered by 7digital, to buy tracks and albums through.

Battery life

The last thing worth noting is the Galaxy Note’s battery life; it’s very credible. The battery itself is of the Li-on 2,500mAh variety, and while Samsung hasn’t quoted times, we’ve had the Note being used in much the same way as a general Android device for two days before having to charge. We’d expect it to last more than that with light use. And, unlike with Apple products, should it start to wane over the years, the back comes off so you can replace it.

Nokia Lumia 800 Has Some High-end Specifications

You may recognise the NokiaLumia 800's chassis design from the Nokia N9 . Indeed, the Lumia 800 will come in the same black, cyan and magenta colours as the N9. There has been a screen size reduction though (from 3.9in. on the N9 to 3.7in. on the Lumia 800), making the Windows Phone handset easier to grip and use one-handed.

There are three narrow silver buttons on the right edge for volume, power on/off and camera control. There's no front-facing camera, but the back has an 8-megapixel camera with a dual LED flash. This sports Carl Zeiss optics, and is one of the Nokia 'signature' features that helps to differentiate the Lumia 800 from the Windows Phone competition.

The top edge has two covered connectors, and you can't open the right-hand one without first opening the one on the left. Nokia must realise this is a design fault, as new devices have stickers on the covers explaining that you first have to push a raised pimple on the left-hand cover to reveal a Micro-USB connector. Only then can you slide the right-hand cover to pull out the micro-SIM caddy. Admittedly you're unlikely to need to access the micro-SIM that often, but the design is a little obtuse nonetheless.
The headset jack is on the top, at the far left. The left edge is clear, while the bottom edge has a speaker grille.

The screen measures 3.7in. across the diagonal and has a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels. The resolution is a standard Windows Phone feature and you won't find other handsets deviating from it — although screen sizes do vary.

Nokia has chosen AMOLED technology for the screen and the result is a sharp and bright display that looks particularly good with a dark background. Windows Phone offers just dark (black) and light (white) background choices, while Nokia has added its own 'Nokia Blue' accent colour range. This is very close to the blue that comes as standard with Windows Phone, so there's little room for true personalisation as far as look and feel is concerned.

Features
The Lumia 800 has some high-end specifications. The processor is single core, but it's a cutting-edge 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8255. Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n), Bluetooth (2.1+EDR), HSPA (14.4Mbps down, 5.76Mbps up) and GPS are all supported. It's a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE phone.
There is 512MB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage — and no microSD card slot for adding more, as Windows Phone does not support external storage. That means all external data has to reach the handset over the air or via a wired connection.

Zune caters for wired synchronisation of music, videos, podcasts, photos and other media, while contacts and calendar data need to come over the air via services like Microsoft Exchange or Windows Live. Windows Live users get 25GB of online storage (called SkyDrive), which can be used to store automatically synchronised photos and Excel, PowerPoint, Word and OneNote data. Anyone looking for wired synchronisation of calendar and contacts — as they used to get with Windows Mobile — will be disappointed.

When Microsoft launched Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) it claimed 500 software updates and changes. Notable enhancements include speech recognition for text creation and web searching, custom ringtones, contact groups, native Twitter and LinkedIn support, Local Scout (via Bing) for finding nearby venues, picture tagging and Office 365 support.

However, there's no change to either the basic ethos of how the OS functions or its look and feel.
The Start Screen user interface is still based around 'tiles' that sit in a vertically scrolling array. Some can carry live data, and you can 'pin' things like map locations to the Start screen for easy access. Once you're beyond the Start Screen, horizontal scrolling is the order of the day, with data and services often accessed via a series of connected screens.

The ethos of Windows Phone is based around users and actions rather than applications. To take just one example, tapping the People tile on the Start Screen takes you individual contacts and their social media streams, to a contact log, and to a series of communications-based services that bring together social media feeds, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Outlook (Exchange and Office 365), Windows Live and Google.

To contact someone you don't have to run an app, you just choose them from the contacts list and then select the action required. If they are on Facebook then you're offered the option to write on their wall. If not, the option isn't offered.

If you need to use your smartphone for productive work, we're pleased to report that text entry is fast and easy. The soft keyboard is responsive and surprisingly efficient to use, even in portrait mode.

The integration of Microsoft Office components — OneNote, Excel, PowerPoint and Word, plus support for Office 365 and SharePoint — are all advantages for professional users. Synchronising with our own SkyDrive worked perfectly. The first time we went into the Office area of the Lumia 800 it found documents we'd synchronised to SkyDrive with another Windows Phone, and we were able to continue working on them without a hitch.
