New Phone - Nexus 4 -

I am sure most of you are aware of the New Google Nexus 4. But in case you are not aware due to hectic life, workloads, family commitment, blah blah blah... here are some info.

The new Nexus 4 are the latest Google Phone produced in partnership with LG Mobile. It was supposed to be officially launched on the 26th October 2012 during the Google Event. Unfortunately, the event was called off since Sandy came earlier to US. Who is Sandy anyway, hmm... her full name was Hurricane Sandy. Hurricane Sandy was a tropical cyclone that are very much interested with the Google Event. Many was curious on why I said so... reason? As mentioned, she came in a rush and destroy everything that was in her way.... Haha... Sorry for the lame joke. Anyway, I really feel sorry for those who are affected, let's pray that everything will goes back to normal.

Ok. Enough of Sandy. I should focus on the Nexus 4 since he is the real starring for the day!

Let's share some of the features of Nexus 4.

Hardware

4.7" 1280x768 pixel resolution (320ppi) WXGA IPS Screen with Corning(R) Gorilla(R) Glass 2

Connectivity: MicroUSB / SlimPort HDMI / 3.5mm headphone jack

Wifi 802.11 b/g/n

Software

Android 4.2 Jelly Bean

Nothing special?

Wait till I drill down to the details...

While Apple was very proud with their Retina Display on the iPhones, the Nexus 4 comes with a WXGA IPS Screen that offers resolution of 320 ppi which is only 6ppi lesser than the new iPhone 5 (326ppi). This would means that with a bigger screen of 4.7", Nexus 4 will definitely impress the on lookers. 

As for the battery capacity, it's the same as the Samsung Galaxy S3 at 2100mAh. However, due to the lack of LTE technology with the Nexus 4, it is expected that the battery will last longer than S3 as the current LTE technology are a pure battery drainer. While the speed of LTE are fast, they are also fast in draining the battery capacity. With Google taking off the feature, it might not be a bad idea.

With Android 4.2 Jelly Bean comes as the stock ROM, the Nexus 4 offering better features as compare to the Galaxy S3. With the latest Google Apps, you will be enjoying a brand new experience in using Android. Gone are the days where all the flaws are been seen in the OS, but with Jelly Bean 4.2, you can rest assured that you will be a happier person using the Smartphone. 

Another feature of Jelly Bean 4.2 worth to be share is the AMAZING PHOTO SPHERE CAMERA!!! With Nexus 4, you can take a 360 degree panoramic photos !!! This is the 1st phone which offer a full 360 degrees experience. You can even feel that you are there while looking on it. 

There are many more features of the LG Nexus 4. For more information, click HERE. 

Oh, before I forget, the recommended retail price are USD 299 for the 8GB and USD 349 for the 16GB. Are you going to get one? I sure interested. So let's see how it goes when it reaches our shore. Will grab one if the price is lower than RM1200!

That's all for tonight. 

See ya...

Great News For Samsung Galaxy S3

Hi,

Been M.I.A. for the past few days. Was busy with office works and meetings. No time to go through news and also couldn't spend time to update my blog.

Today I found a great news for the Samsung Galaxy S3 user and would like to share with you guys.

According to gsmarena, there are users who successfully upgrade their S3 to Jelly Bean, although the date set for the official release will be somewhere around 29th August 2012.

Samsung Galaxy S3 with Jelly Bean 

The developer team promised a great experience for Android 4.1 a.k.a. Jelly Bean, and based on reviews from Galaxy Nexus users, its indeed a better OS than Ice Cream Sandwich.

Just hope that it will be the same for the S3. Those who are using S3, REJOICE!!!!

Here is a video on S3 using Jelly Bean.

Enjoy the video...

Updates on Android Jelly Bean

Highlights of Android 4.1 a.k.a. Jelly Bean.

Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, is the fastest and smoothest version of Android yet. Jelly Bean improves on the simplicity and beauty of Android 4.0, and introduces a new Google search experience on Android.

• Everything in Jelly Bean feels fast, fluid, and smooth. Moving between home screens and switching between apps is effortless, like turning pages in a book.
• Jelly Bean features improved performance throughout the system, including faster orientation changes, faster responses when switching between recent apps, and smoother and more consistent rendering across the system through vsync and triple buffering.
• Jelly Bean has more reactive and uniform touch responses, and makes your device even more responsive by boosting your device's CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you don't need it to improve battery life.

"Quoted from Android Official Website"

When Android Development Team decided that there are nothing much to add on into Android OS but to fine tune the OS, they really mean it. In Android 4.1 a.k.a. Jelly Bean, there was not many new add-ons to the OS. What the team promised was to improves on the simplicity and to enhance user experience. The first thing is the improvement on speed. Why? If you ever used IOS or even Windows 7.5 Mango OS, you will find that out of the 3 OS, Android is the slowest among the 3. For this new update, they finally improve on the speed. 

Here is a video on the comparison between Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean on a Galaxy Nexus.(1st model to get official update to JB).

Pretty impressive, huh….
