PureView: The Tech Behind Nokia’s Salvation

Chris Davies, May 24th 2012 Discuss [0]

Nokia has big plans for PureView, including thinner handsets and Windows Phone support, though there’s more than just branding that’s getting in the way of slimming the smartphone camera tech. We grabbed some hands-on playtime with the Nokia 808 PureView in Germany this week, at the headquarters of long-time photography partner Carl Zeiss, where we not only discovered just what the camera is capable of, but some of the decisions – technical, product and otherwise – behind the PureView concept. And make no mistake: if any one thing signifies Nokia’s potential salvation in the mobile industry, PureView is it.

Samsung Galaxy S III official

Chris Davies, May 3rd 2012 Discuss [0]

Samsung has finally taken the wraps off of the Galaxy S III, the company’s third-generation Galaxy flagship and a device that has managed to muster iPhone-levels of pre-launch hype. Revealed today in London, UK, the Samsung Galaxy S III is unmistakably a Galaxy-family phone, but brings a new, 4.8-inch 720p HD Super AMOLED display, 1.4GHz quad-core processor and – perhaps more importantly – several software modifications to improve the user-experience.

US Cellular debuts Samsung Galaxy S Aviator with LTE

Chris Davies, Apr 5th 2012 Discuss [0]

US Cellular has revealed its first LTE smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S Aviator, promising up to 10x the download speeds as 3G devices and a $99.99 promotional price. Pairing its 4G connectivity with a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen, the Galaxy S Aviator isn't likely to deliver any hardware surprises seeing as how used to Galaxy S II variants we are, but it's quite an improvement for US Cellular customers all the same.

HTC One S Review

Chris Davies, Apr 2nd 2012 Discuss [0]

The HTC One S may slot into the midrange in the company’s 2012 line-up, but HTC knows that it needs more than just average if it wants to reclaim its position in the smartphone segment. To do that, the One S delivers a slimline metal casing and ticks the big consumer draw elements of camera, screen and speed, with 8-megapixels, a crisp AMOLED display and 1.5GHz dual-core chipset brought out to play. Question is, does the One S deliver enough to distract from the heavyweight of the mainstream models, Apple’s iPhone 4? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Tablets: an Android 2011 Retrospective

Chris Burns, Jan 2nd 2012 Discuss [18]

When the year 2011 is looked back upon by the Google historians, they’ll mark it as the first time they officially made an effort to bring the Android platform to devices with displays larger than handheld smartphones – what we saw, as a result, was everything from the XOOM to the ASUS Transformer Prime. The folks at Google created a version of their mobile operating system Android titled Honeycomb and numbered version 3.0. This operating system began its life in the wild on the Motorola XOOM, a 10.1-inch tablet that by the end of the year would be replaced by the XYBOARD, a tablet which physically in weight and thickness to the iPad 2 – the dominant force in the tablet space throughout the vast majority of this past year.

Android Ice Cream Sandwich review

Vincent Nguyen, Nov 21st 2011 Discuss [76]

Android has come of age. Google’s smartphone platform may have already taken the top spot for handset market share, but it arguable did that despite, not because, of the underlying Android user experience. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, however, promises to change all that: a comprehensive refresh bringing both smartphones and tablets under the same umbrella, and demonstrating that Google can deliver software just as cohesive and compelling as Apple can. Laudable goals, but can the search giant deliver? Read on for the full SlashGear review.

Samsung Captivate Glide review

Chris Burns, Nov 17th 2011 Discuss [14]

When it comes to releasing new devices, Samsung and the rest of the manufacturer bunch doesn’t always aim for the top of the ladder – case in point, the Samsung Captivate Glide, a dual-core smartphone with a 4-inch Super AMOLED display and a slide-out keyboard. This device is being released on AT&T’s 4G network (not LTE, mind you, just regular ol’ 4G) and is currently one of the only dual-core smartphones with a keyboard on the market. If we turn away from the keyboard for a moment and focus on the rest of the device, I think you’ll find that while this handset certainly doesn’t seem to be up to the task of beating down the very top of the pack of smartphones out today, it’s certainly a wrestler for the dual-core lovers of you out there in AT&T Land.

HTC Rezound Review

Vincent Nguyen, Nov 14th 2011 Discuss [21]

Verizon isn’t stinting on 4G LTE smartphones, and hot on the heels of the DROID RAZR comes the HTC Rezound. Where Motorola chased slimness, HTC has targeted all-round top-flight features of the sort we’ve not really seen from the company in some time. So, the Rezound packs a 720p HD resolution display, speedy dual-core processor and a slick unibody chassis in its quest to be the best LTE smartphone around. Does it all add up, or has HTC bitten off more than it can chew? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Samsung Stratosphere Review [Video]

Chris Burns, Oct 24th 2011 Discuss [3]

The next step forward in having the mobile world adopt a connection speed isn’t always necessarily straight to the newest high for specs, and the Samsung Stratosphere is here to prove it. Fitted with a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard complete with Android menu shortcuts and coming in as the second Samsung handset to work on Verizon’s 4G LTE network, the Samsung Stratosphere isn’t here to win any benchmark wars with its single-core 1GHz processor and relatively thick chassis, but it IS the only 4G LTE device on the market with a full QWERTY keyboard, and the 4-inch 800 × 480 Super AMOLED display doesn’t hurt none either. Will the Stratosphere access a market just waiting to be tapped? We shall see!
