Samsung Vs HTC Vs LG Vs Meizu Quad-Core Processor

Quad-Core Processors.The name itself makes it clear that we are going to be witness a stiff battle between our competitors.And who are these heavyweight champs you may ask?
              Well,those that will playing today are :

• Samsung Galaxy S III     
• HTC One X
• LG Optimus G  
• Meizu MX 4-Core

With great power comes great responsibility and these phones not only represent themselves but also their manufacturers. It's a battle of the chipsets too. Inside the Samsung Galaxy S III and Meizu MX Quad Core beats the same Exynos 4212 Quad chipset, while the HTC One X is powered by the Nvidia Tegra 3  and the beast LG Optimus G is powered by the S4 Pro Chipset.

                   So,without wasting further time lets start our battle!

1.Screen Size

           Even though this article is centered around the premise of comparing chipsets, the screen is almost as important - what would be the use of all that computing power if the screen is going to limit what you can do.  

The Samsung Galaxy S III ,HTC One X & LG Optimus G all have 4.7 -4.8 inch screens ,hence they are almost equal.However,Meizu MX 4-core has a 4 inch screen and I suppose that this will be an advantage for this phone.

Samsung Galaxy S III

LG Optimus G

HTC One X

Meizu MX 4-Core

2.Clock Speed

         The HTC One X is powered by a 1.5 GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor while the S III and the MX 4-core have  1.4 GHz  Exynos 4212 Quad chipset under their hoods.The Optimus G is powered by the 1.5 GHz Krait S4 Pro Chipset .

3.Benchmark Scores

i) Benchmark Pi(lower is better)

    Samsung Galaxy S III : 344

    HTC One X : 

    LG Optimus G : 285

    Meizu MX 4-Core : 362

ii)Linpack(Higher is Better)

    Samsung Galaxy S III : 177.1

    HTC One X: 160.9

    LG Optimus G : 608

    Meizu MX 4-Core : 189.1

iii)Quadrant(Higher is Better)

    Samsung Galaxy S III : 5365

    HTC One X : 5952

    LG Optimus G : 7439

    Meizu MX 4-Core: 5170

iv)Antutu (Higher is better)

    Samsung Galaxy S III : 10767

    HTC One X : 11633

    LG Optimus G :11226

    Meizu MX 4-Core: 11820

v)BrowserMark(Higher is better)

    Samsung Galaxy S III : 158953

    HTC One X : 140270

    LG Optimus G : 118126

    Meizu MX 4-Core: 158404

So as you can see from the benchmark results it is the LG Optimus G which stands out among the other smartphones.This is mainly because of the new S4 Pro chipset running inside the Optimus which is at present the best quad-core processor for phones on the planet.

Why Nexus Devices Don't Support MicroSD Card

Matias Duarte,director of Android operating system User Experience at Google explains why Nexus devices have no SD card,though many people may not be satisfiedwith that answer. As Duarte explains, “We take a different approach. Your Nexus has a fixed amount of space and your apps just seamlessly use it for you without you ever having to worry about files or volumes or any of that techno nonsense left over from the old era of computing.”

Thus, Nexus devices don’t have MicroSD card slots. They are simply too old for the technoworrlld  technoworld and apparently they confuse people. Many people probably wouldn’t mind this if there were better storage options.

While the Galaxy Nexus had 32GB of storage, the LG Nexus 4 has been reported as only having 8GB and 16GB offerings. It’s disappointing that Google believes everyone would be happy with only 8GB or 16GB of space with no room for expansion. Many people use much more than 16GB of space.

LG Nexus 4 Announced

Despite Google cancelling its event today due to the hurricane Sundy, LG has already announced the Nexus 4. Most of the details about the phone were already known and I have even pointed out the key feautures earlier.
                               It has a 4.7" True HD IPS Plus screen with WXGA resolution (768 x 1280, 15:9 aspect ratio)and is  powered by a Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset with four Krait cores at 1.5GHz, 2GB RAM and Adreno 320 GPU.The phone is running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (yeah,the name is the same) and there is no microsd card support.There are 8 & 16 GB versions.


The camera is a 8MP sensor and it has a cool feature called Photo Sphere. It's like a panorama, but you can snap photos in every direction you like - sideways, upside-down, wherever.It has a 2,100mAh battery, which is enough for 15.3 hours of talk time or 390 hours of standby. The phone supports wireless charging.
As far as connectivity goes, the LG-made Google Nexus 4 will have GSM/HSPA+ and NFC . We suspect there will be a CDMA version later on, but there's no info on that just yet.
                               The first LG Nexus 4 phones will be available from the Play Store in US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Spain and Australia starting November 13. If you prefer brick and mortar stores, the you'll have to wait until the end of November when the Nexus will hit Europe, Central/South Americas, Asia, CIS and the Middle East.
                            The 8GB version (unlocked) is priced at $299, while the 16GB version is $349.

1080 p Screens,What Next?

Almost a year has passed since we first started seeing smartphones with 720p displays. Since then, they’ve rapidly become the norm for smartphone screens, such that it’s hard to accept even a qHD display on an upper-tier handset. Now, 1080p displays are about to arrive, with the first-such Android models already announced. Will we be seeing these super-high-res screens migrate to the other major platforms, or is 1080p going to end up like 3D displays, and quickly fizzle out?

1080 p manufacturing process

The Rise Of 720p

LG premiered its Optimus LTE last season, with a 4.5-inch 720p display. That may have gotten the ball rolling, but Google really helped move things along with the announcement of the Galaxy Nexus and its 4.65-inch 720p screen. Seeing Google accept the technology like that signaled to OEMs that this was more than just a fad.

Now, we’re about to see the first 720p screens come to Windows Phone devices, and RIM will be introducing 720p models for the full-touch offerings in its BlackBerry 10 lineup next year. Even Apple’s sort of gotten on board, with the iPhone 5′s 1136 x 640 screen inching-up closer to 720p (though it’s still got 20-some-percent fewer pixels).

1080p Comes To Android

           We recently saw the announcement of the HTC J Butterfly for Japan, featuring the company’s first five-inch 1080p display.There are plenty of rumors that other Android manufacturers will follow with similarly-equipped models. We know that LG has been working on phones with 1080p screens, and have seen rumors that manufacturers like Samsung and Pantech could also be getting ready to join the gang.

Already, 1080p sounds like it’s going to make a bigger splash than 3D displays ever did; if what we’re hearing is true, there appears to be some strong support from major manufacturers (Samsung never jumped on the 3D craze), and 1080p could, like 720p before it, quickly become something consumers look for in their high-end smartphones.

It Doesn’t Matter That 1080p Won’t Look Better

I recently wrote an article ,pointing out all the reason why we just don’t need them. Sure, as we move into tablets that’s not so true anymore, but for the moment I’m just concerned with 1080p on phones.

                       The problem is, as I see it, that 1080p displays are simply going to look awesome. Even if they’re battery hogs, and even if we can’t even see the difference between one pixel and the next, they’re going to look just as good as 720p screens, if not slightly better.

                            The idea of 1080p being superior to 720p is firmly ingrained in the minds of consumers by this point. Anyone who’s shopped for an HDTV in recent years has seen how great 1080p can look on a big screen, where the difference between 720p and 1080p is more easily appreciated. This isn’t like 3D, where no one knew quite what to make of it; the superiority of 1080p has already been well established.

               So, whether it’s a significant improvement or not, 1080p on smartphones is already set up to succeed. The only thing I can see standing in its way is if some of those other problems Michael mentioned, like power consumption, end up substantially detracting from the user experience; in essence, smartphone manufacturers would have to really botch things – and in a big enough way that the public takes notice – in order to convince customers that 1080p isn’t something they should desire from a new phone.

Ultimately, I expect to see 1080p screens on Android devices start claiming a substantial share of the market for new, high-end phones by next summer.

After Android ,Who Next?

 
            Apple has the potential to be the wild card here. It loves “wow”ing its fans, and its Retina Displays have really drawn attention to what’s possible with screens featuring very high pixel densities. That said, it hates to be seen playing catch-up, and has a history of dismissing otherwise-accepted technology (like NFC) when that just doesn’t suit its own vision for its platform. If anyone’s going to be able to stand up and say “you guys don’t really want 1080p; here, let us show you what you’ll actually like”, it’s going to be Apple. Combined with its distaste for jumbo-sized smartphones, making the small improvements 1080p offers even less apparent, I’d say we can probably count Apple out of the 1080p race.

                       Microsoft’s attitude towards new technology has shades of Apple’s, but I think that’s less a matter of wanting to dance to its own tune, and more about taking a slow approach to introducing change. If Microsoft sees Android users flocking to 1080p phones, it’s going to have to consider giving its own users the same option. Considering the pace it moves at, though, it might not even get around to evaluating such a thing until well into next year. Maybe we’d see some Windows Phone 9 handsets arrive with 1080p screens in 2014, but I can’t see it bringing 1080p to its platform anytime soon.

                          As for RIM, it clearly wants to be seen as a manufacturer with current, desirable hardware, but 1080p might be biting off more than it can chew. For one, it’s still too early to say whether or not BlackBerry 10 will be a hit. Follow that road long enough, and I’m left wondering if RIM will even still be making smartphones by the time it has to seriously think about 1080p. On the other hand, if it gets the sense early-on that 1080p is here to stay, it might want to take the initiative and beat Microsoft to the punch. If it can squeeze ahead of its competition in even that one area, that could go a long way towards making BlackBerry still seem relevant.

                             In the end, I’d have to put my money on Microsoft. Of all the companies running major platforms, I don’t see it having a fundamental issue with 1080p (like Apple might), and regardless of how Windows Phone 8 fares, it’s still going to be around and kicking a couple years from now.

1080 P ,what next?
      

                  Well,after 720 p,came 1080 p whats next?Personally I  don't think that there should be anything else.Mainly because between 1080 p and 720 p,the difference is not really that much noticeable on a mobile screen.Anything more than 1080 p the difference will be negligible.

        

Why LG Is Still Behind The Competition

LG

          In the recent years, LG hasn't really featured strongly in the mobile world.Don't misunderstand me: in the era of the featurephones, LG was quite a sensation, bringing us aspirational designs like the Chocolate series and VX8700 for Verizon Wireless, and the Fusic/Music line for Sprint. It even provided Verizon’s headlining Apple competitors back in the pre-3G days of the iPhone in the form of the EnV device family. Internationally, it pumped out incredible designs like the mouthwatering BL40.

LG Feature phone

Then came the era of smartphones. Not just the smartphone-market shakeup Apple accomplished with the iPhone -which LG managed to use to its advantage with its own wave of carrier-branded competitors like the EnV and Voyager- but the sudden influx of smartphones into the consumer space. As RIM, Microsoft, Palm, Google, and Apple started taking consumers into the smartphone world, hardware partners started gaining traction along with them. The smartphone explosion catapulted HTC into relevance and slingshotted Samsung into orbit, where it recently surpassed Nokia to become the world’s top handset vendor. Meanwhile, we’ve seen LG dwindle in scale, cutting its Windows Phone offerings amid conflicting statements about its future support for the platform, and professing a new focus on Android.

                          That focus shift, if unfortunate for lovers of Windows Phone, might actually be a tactically sound move for LG; it’s certainly worked out well for rival Samsung. And indeed, LG has managed to consistently make headlines with its Android offerings, churning out a bevy of “firsts.” The company was the first to roll out a dual-core Android smartphone, and the first to offer a glasses-free 3D smartphone. We expect to see the company unveil another first-in-class very shortly as it takes the wraps off the Optimus G, the world’s first smartphone packing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 Pro, which will offer LTE and quad-core performance on the same chip. Clearly, the company hasn't been standing still.But the company also fails in some crucial areas. Here’s the top reasons LG hasn’t yet caught up to Samsung in the mobile-technology arena, and why it might not ever do so.

1.Ugly Software

            

                        The discussion about Android skins has been a long, involved one. Android devices now feature skins more often than not. In the case of some manufacturers, like Samsung, HTC, and even Huawei, that’s not an entirely bad thing. There’s been a steady trend toward adding features without increasing lag, so skins are less onerous than they once were.

                         LG’s unimaginatively named “LG UI” doesn’t necessarily increase lag, but it doesn’t offer much in the way of utility. As we saw during our hands-on with the Optimus L9 in Berlin (linked previously), the latest iteration affords users extensive options for customizing app icons and transition effects, and it’s quite responsive in version 3.0. But its visual design is stuck in the Gingerbread era, it’s beset by typos in our Intuition review unit, and it doesn’t offer enough compelling set-offs to justify its inclusion over stock Android. Especially considering the inevitable update delay all skins cause.

2.Poor Hardware

                That rundown of well-crafted LG devices above was fun to write, but in retrospect it’s quite depressing. The company hasn’t cobbled together a truly good device in years. That’s speaking from a visual standpoint; LG has certainly made headlines by beating others to the market with innovative new features.It even implements traditional -some might say old-fashioned- features like hardware keyboards quite well;  but these quality implementations always seem to be wrapped in a casing that’s dull at best.

These are the main reasons why LG is not being able to make the headlines.But with launch of extremely impressive LG Optimus G and the soon-to-be-launched Nexus 4,the tables just might turn in LG's favour,who knows!

 

Google's Event On 29 October Cancelled

Bad news for Android fans out there.The google event that was going to be held on October 29 has been cancelled owing to an emergency issued by the US due to arrival of the hurricane Sundy which is predicted to pass through New York,the city where the event was to be held.

The event was supposed to reveal the next Nexus device ,the LG Nexus 4 as well as the Nexus 10 tablet.

The exact date when the event will later be held has not been said by Google

Nexus 4 Leaked Manual

I hope by now everyone knows what the Nexus 4 is or at least has heard about it.Well,as it turns out ,this is probably the worst kept secret in the mobile industry.First,it was lost in a bar about a month ago,and even before its official announcement,I have previewed it. And now,guess what it is the manual's turn to get leaked.

.


The manual which has subsequently been removed from LG's website reveals yet again the Nexus 4's close relationship with the LG Optimus G. Built-in 8 and 16GB memory options are all but confirmed, as well as the presence of induction coil for wireless charging.
The LG Nexus 4 will be unveiled at a Google event in New York City on Monday with the also leaked, Samsung made Google Nexus 10.

              What do you think of the new Nexus device?Is it going to be the best android smartphone?

LG Nexus Lost In a Bar

Remember how the Iphone 4 got lost on April 1?Well,the same thing has happened to the LG Nexus ,and this had actually happened in September.
                      The phone was found in a San Francisco bar and the bartender that found it didn’t know what to make of it first. He showed it to a tech-savvy bar patron who instantly recognized the device.

             


Unlike the iPhone story, the two decided to talk straight to Google to return the lost phone. Even so, they didn’t avoid the unpleasantness of dealing with a big company trying to protect its secrets.
             The story pretty quickly turns into something that could make a decent movie with an unrelated incident causing a riot attack at a local police station as the Google security guy and a lawyer representing the bartender were inside.
                As you know, there's a Google event this Monday when the LG Nexus 4 smartphone is expected to be officially announced, but also a 10" Nexus tablet by Samsung and updated Nexus 7 with 32GB storage and 3G.

LG Nexus 4 Confirmed

The LG Nexus 4, under the codename Mako, has surfaced in the GLBenchmark scoreboard, securing itself a top 4 place, just behind the Pantech Vega IM-A850, Asus PadFone 2 and the Xiaomi MI-2. All of these, like the Nexus 4, are rocking a Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset with the Adreno 320 GPU.
The published information on the GLBenchmark website cites Android 4.2 as the OS running on the Nexus 4, which all but confirms the next Nexus will come with it out of box.
There's also a new picture of the LG-made Nexus device courtesy of @evleaks on Twitter.

LG Q3 Results

LG continues steadily walking on its way to recovery in the third quarter of 2015, and hsa now reported a solid $138.6 million in net profit.

Overall revenues however dropped 4% on the year to some $10.1 billion because of a persisting decline of feature phone sales.

LG is doing better than expected in mobile, and has gone back to profit from being a loss-making company in the third quarter of last year. LG’s Mobile Communications Company division benefitted from good sales of LTE smartphones in Korea, Japan and the United States. The Optimus L series conquered new markets, also adding to the sales boost.

And best of all, LG has a positive outlook for the next quarter as well. That would be the Holiday quarter and LG has got one of the hottest devices out there, the quad-core LG Optimus G, bringing unmatched hardware muscle and being one of the most competitive offerings now.

Nokia 808 Pureview Vs LG Optimus G

Nokia 808 and LG Optimus G both are flagship devices from their respective manufacturers.While the former is probably the last Symbian device the latter was released recently and has shown some outstanding results in benchmarks.So lets get started.

QSlide On LG Optimus G

The QSlide feature on the LG Optimus G is a multitasker's best friend. Unlike the multiwindow function on the Samsung GALAXY Note II, which lets you cut the screen in half to use two apps at the same time, QSlide doesn't require the user to use the apps in a cramped space on the screen. With QSlide, two apps are using the device's 4.7 inch screen at once and one or the other app becomes translucent by sliding the QSlide controls. Controlling the level of translucency for each app, the user can watch a video while composing email, send a text while browsing the web, or do any type of multitasking while still using the full 4.7 inch display.
It's a brilliant idea and the story of how it was discovered makes you realize that inspiration can come anywhere, from anything or anybody. While LG's Senior Research Engineer Sebastian Hochan Song was driving in a car with his younger sister and nephew, the windows on the car fogged up. Watching his nephew draw on the fogged-up window from the rear-view mirror, it looked to Song as though his nephew was drawing on a transparent layer over the background of the outside. It was as though he was drawing on two layers and the engineer could see both of them at the same time. With this, QSlide was born.

While LG was able to make the second layer appear right away, controlling the level of translucency was difficult, according to Song. But the concept has been perfected and it is now one of the new features on the LG Optimus G.

LG Nexus 4 Confirmed

In an interview with IBN Live LG's Head of Mobile Product Planning, Amit Gujral, has let slip that the much-anticipated and not-so-secret LG-made Nexus 4 is the real deal and it's going to be unveiled at Google's Android event come October 29 .


He also made it clear that the device will become available in India "by the end of November", leaving us in the dark regarding global launch of the next-gen Nexus device.
                                       Amit Gujral also shed some light on the specs of the device, confirming it will have a 4.7" 1280 x 768 display, 2GB of RAM, a quad-core CPU with each core clocked at 1.5 GHz (rumors point at an S4 Pro chipset), an 8 MP snapper and 8 GB to 16 GB of storage excluding a microSD card slot. Finally the device will run Android 4.2.

LG Optimus Will Be Launched In India In November

The LG Optimus G will launch with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich  with a new user experience and powerful hardware in November in India.
