A Comparison Between The Samsung Galaxy S3 And Mini Versions

Samsung has recently released a smaller version of their Galaxy S3. But one of the things people want to know before they buy this new phone is what this mini version will offer them. Below you are going to find a comparison between the Samsung Galaxy S3 and mini versions.


Features – Both the original and the mini versions come with the Android 4.1 OS, S
Stay, Direct Call, S Voice, S beam, and Buddy picture share.

Size and Colors – The original version has a thickness of 8.6 and a weight of 133 grams. The Galaxy S3 mini has a thickness of 9.85 mm and weight of just 111.5 grams. Both of the phones come in pebble blue and marble white colors, but the original S3 comes in a few other colors too.

Pixels and Camera – The original Galaxy S3 has an 8 MP, autofocus, 3264×2448 pixels, primary camera with LED flash and a 1.9 MP HD camera that is front facing that is good to use when video calling. The mini version has a 5MP camera with auto focus and LED flash, video camera with 720p, and a secondary VGA camera to use while video chatting.

Memory – The original phone comes with 16/32/64 options for internal storage which can be expanded to as much as 64GB using MicroSD. The mini has an internal memory of 8/16GB and it's expandable to 32GB using MicroSD.

Network Profiles – The original phone supports 2G up to 4G LTE profiles but the mini only works using 2G or 3G. Both phones have connectivity features like WiFi, Bluetooth, and NFC.

Battery – The original phone comes with a 2,100mAh and has a backup to 21 hours and 40 minutes when on 2G and 11 hours 40 minutes on 3G. The mini version has a 1,500mAh but there is no backup information yet for this phone.

This is just some of the information that compares the two versions of the Galaxy S3. The price is not yet available for the mini version of the phone, but this information will be available soon, hopefully. We will keep our eye out for the latest developments.

Sony Xperia Sola

Sony Xperia Sola is one of the 2012 android smartphone lineup from sony. Xperia sola equipped with dual core CPU, Bravia engine, Floating touch technology, onboard NFC chip. From the specifications and price point, we could say that xperia sola is middle class android smartphone. And now we’re going to review sony xperia sola and find out the performance of this android smartphone.


Design

Sony xperia sola has a very unique design, some people will love it and others don't really like it. When you hold it in your hands, it feels comfortable and quite slim. Xperia Sola made entirely from plastic materials, but it doesn't feel cheap.

Display

Sony Xperia Sola has 3.7 inches touchscreen display with FWVGA resolution, that is 480 x 854 pixels. The screen capable of producing 16 million of colours and 265 ppi of pixel density.

When you look at the screen, you will notice that it's actually very bright, even if you take outside on a daylight, the screen is still bright, thanks to the bravia engine inside.

One cool thing about the display of Xperia Sola, is that it has floating touch technology. It means you can control the screen without actually touching it, really cool feature.

Hardware

Sony Xperia Sola powered by dual core processors 1 Ghz, Mali 400MP graphics, NovaThor chipset and 512 MB of RAM. With these kind of hardware specs, Xperia Sola will be able to run almost every HD game on the Google Play, as well as playing HD movies.

For storage Xperia Sola has total 8 GB of internal memory (ROM), which the actual user accessible is 5 GB. But if 5 GB is not enough for you, you can add extra storage using micro SD card up to 32 GB. I recommend to use micro SD card class 10 for better performance.

Software

Sony Xperia Sola originally comes with gingerbread 2.3.7 right out of the box, but there is already available ICS 4.0.4 update. Sony plans to give Jelly Bean upgrade for some phones next year, but we don't know yet whether Xperia Sola will also get JB upgrade. Small chance that Xperia Sola will get official JB upgrade from Sony.

Sony Xperia Sola also comes with the Timescape UI, which has social media integration. And thanks to the dual core CPU, navigating the UI is very smooth, no lag at all for both gingerbread and ICS version.

As i said before, this phone has floating touch technology which allows you to highlight a link when you're browsing the web. But it just for highlighting only, you can't select or click a link with it. It would be very cool if it actually can select something without touching the screen.

Besides highlighting link, you can also play with the Xperia themes. You can control the background of the themes using your finger. For example moving right to left, the background will follow your finger movement.

Other cool things about this phone is that, it has NFC technology, which allows you to use NFC connectivity. On the package you will find Sony NFC Smart Tags. You can program the smart tags with any profile you want. It's hard to explain, you have to try it yourself.

Camera

Sony Xperia Sola has 5 mega pixels camera on the back, equipped with LED flash and auto focus. For photo shooting, this camera has several features such as 3D sweep panorama, 3D sweep angle, sweep panorama, scenes mode, and smile shutter. Thanks to the LED flash, photo shooting for both indoor and outdoor are really good. The colours are natural and bright.

The rear camera capable of record HD 720p videos. The LED flash could be use for video recording, so it's not a problem recording video in dark conditions. There are several features you can use in video recording, such as scenes mode, self timer, focus mode, image stabilizer, white balance, metering, exposure value, video size and photo light.

Sony Xperia Sola has dedicated camera button, so you can access the camera function without having to touch the lock screen or access the menu. Unfortunately, Xperia Sola lack of front facing camera. Front facing camera is very important to make video calls or skype.

Sony Xperia Sola is really nice phone, great hardware performance, excellent camera, floating touch and NFC feature. The only thing that's missing is the front facing camera, other than that this phone is perfect.

The New Trends For Smartphones Next Year

Already displays with pixel per inch scores above 400 are beginning to surface – look no further than the HTC Droid DNA handset for proof – making the the iPhone 5, Galaxy S3, Nokia Lumia 920 and the Sony Xperia S look blurrier than an action photo taken on a 10-year-old camphone. Yes, it's another pointless spec war waiting to happen, but that won't stop us trying to win at smartphone Top Trumps.


Wireless charging for smartphones

It won't be long before the idea of plugging a wire into your smartphone is as anachronistic as getting up to change the TV channel. With both Nokia's latest Lumia devices and LG's Google Nexus 4 boasting wireless charging, the technology is now ready for the mainstream. The Palm Pre was, sadly, just ahead of its time.

Multicore madness

Although many devices in the wild currently run a single core processor, there are plenty of phones out there that already pack a dual or quad core punch. Enough oomph for most, then, but Samsung allegedly plans to go one better and reveal an octa-core processor next year. No joke, that's an eight core CPU capable of running all cores simultaneously for any task.

RIP microSD slots

That cloud thing everyone's talking about is putting the kibosh on physical storage cards. Dropbox integration and smarter apps mean smartphones have marked the once-mighty microSD card for a cull, a movement that may upset some power users.

Mega megapixel camphones

Nokia rocked the smartphone imaging boat this year with it's 41MP PureView 808, followed by Lumia devices with built-in optical image stabilisation. You think everyone is just going to stand around and watch? No, us either. But who’ll be first to market with an optical zoom?

Multiscreen explosion

One screen just isn't enough anymore. Xbox SmartGlass, Miracast, AirPlay – there are plenty of options out there for streaming content on one screen while viewing something else. And that's just the tip of the iceberg: expect a war of innovation to bombard your local app store in 2013

An end to battery life blues

The average smartphone drinks battery life quicker than Popeye necks cans of spinach. Yet battery tech evolution has stalled. Yes, we expect to see more smartphone makers loading 2500mAh cells into their hardware in future, but we're laying more hope at the door of super-efficient software and clever processors that run basic processses on an idle, power-saving core.

NFC goes mainstream

Every year seems to be dubbed the year of near-field communication technology, yet the system of wirelessly transferring data and making payments has made slow progress to date. But with Natwest sending out NFC-enabled bank cards and a proliferation of compatible hardware, 2013 may just become the year of getting your phone out to pay a coffee.

Smartphone hypercolour

Consumers are a picky bunch so aesthetics really do matter. But that hasn't stopped most phones from arriving in boring black, smudgeable white or dull grey. Windows Phone 8 devices are lighting up the smartphone shelves, though, and Apple may yet editionalise its iPhones in the color gamut it offers for its iPod family.

The Detailed Performance About Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is a much powerful and attractive phone in the Xperia series. It has the most powerful processor, 1Ghz QSD8250 processor. It is a complete and touch device and what is more special about this device is its design. A 119x63x13mm bar format device has a luscious black and luster white color coating over it. It makes the feels and looks of the phone really eye catching. It weighs around 135gm and can easily be handled with a single hand.

Here should come the typical equipment data sheet, but the truth is that the excellent design work that has the product page, does not worth reading and if the dull blade, browsing functions in the same link above. Please note that some specifications may not be 100% accurate or adapted to the country for exiting the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.

The 4-inch super-wide Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is felt, and where more surrenders, is in navigating websites, the experience of viewing them is excellent, and playing YouTube videos is great, as you may have observed in the video. Sony Ericsson's X10 screen is ideal lying to get lost in the networks and maximize the advantage of mobility. The rotation of the accelerometer is very fast, and although it is touch sensitive everything expected, is more than good.


The Timescape deepens the feeling hyper, integrating with android customization Sony Ericsson did everything, SMS, Facebook, twitter, contacts, everything in a very techie interface to which you'll love or hate depending on your personal taste. I really was very fun and innovative, as indeed, that is, but after a few days, I got tired enough.

This feature in Sony Ericsson Xperia is definitely the one I like the phone, including both Timescape and Mediascape that give users the ability to search for more information about the selected item in a click, is sencillamente spectacular. Do not forget to watch the specific videos how well FUNCIA infinite function.

Another thing is the operating speed of the Sony Ericsson Xperia, so can see in the videos, the screens flow with a smoothness that is pleasant to see. Xperia Golazo.


The mediascape has the same concept of Timescape, but only for multimedia. Photos, videos, and music in one place and sorted properly, something that struck me was the absence of equalizers in audio player, but the quality that they have come with their headphones Sony Ericsson and excellence in reproduction Mobile audio, supply fairly well the lack of handset.

With full Exchange client, no activation or additional payment and documents to go, plus the ability to install many more apps through the marketplace custom, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 can be a huge ally mobile worker devices bring great dislike, even a Netbook.

With 8.1 megapixels, 16x digital zoom, auto focus and face recognition smiles and many more features, you have the same or more than usual by Sony Ericsson. Just a detail and correct me if I’m wrong.… Does the flash can only be put in hand? I found the way that you drive, but I clarify, perhaps not find it.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is a great device, which will give you both great satisfaction and web media along with android 1.6 and a budding software update, which will optimistically fix all the details the first version of a device has. Xperia X10 by Sony Ericsson is a great choice to consider especially if you're deciding between a Netbook and a mobile, because if watch videos on YouTube, lift mails, navigate, listen to music and use some office document, you have a great option of an all in one mobile device.
