The battery Giant- Motorola Droid Maxx

Now a days, the main problem for smartphones race is battery life. Big screen, lots of apps, movie, music, surfing, just a hell lots of pressure to smartphones batteries.Gadget makers are facing challenge every day to make the power source more efficient, system friendly and long lasting. but recently Motorola make a big step in this battery life war. They make an android smartphone with all modern technologies as an additional long lasting battery. They named the phone Motorola Droid Maxx.

Motorola comes up with this phone into a new lineup, with active touchless control display and Kevlar fibre body. The phone seems not so slim like Galaxy or HTC or Xperia's champion shaped bodies. A little thick with weighty hardware inside.

 

The Display of this phone is quite good with same exact big screens of HTC and Galaxy. It has 5 inch display with HD OLED screen with 720p resolution (1,280x720 pixels) but it doesn't pack the same pixel density as the HTC One (4.7-inch, 1080p LCD) or Samsung Galaxy S4 (5-inch, 1080p OLED), its primary competition. That said, the Maxx's high-contrast display has lusciously saturated colors and impressively dark black levels. 

For internal electronics, Motorola has made a very unconventional move with its 2013 smartphone lineup. Instead of engaging in the brutal processor arms race like practically every other handset maker, the company decided to sidestep the issue completely. All the new Droids, including the Droid Maxx, are powered by a proprietary processing solution Motorola calls the X8 Mobile Computing System.The inside X8 is a dual-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU. Designed to be efficient rather than blazingly fast, the X8's main dual-core application CPU is backed by muscular quad-core Adreno graphics, plus two additional "cores": a natural language processor and one for contextual computing.Helping this hardware is a healthy 2GB allotment of RAM. Also, unlike the Droid Ultra, which has only 16GB of internal memory, the Droid Maxx comes with 32GB to play with. That said, there's no SD card slot for increasing storage. 

Another result of Motorola and Google's union is Active Display, a useful feature that all the new Droid phones have. Also integrated into the Moto X, Active Display serves in place of a separate physical notification light. Essentially, the Droid Maxx's screen will flash softly with alerts for incoming e-mail, text messages, and calls. Touching and holding finger on the associated icon in the center of the screen causes the device to display additional information. Pulling the icon upward to the top of the screen wakes up the phone and opens the linked application. 

                    

The Droid Maxx also makes use of the X8 computing platform, like the Droid Ultra and Moto X, to perform voice control tricks. Motorola calls the capability Touchless Control, and as its name implies, speaking a magic phrase will cause the Maxx to drop what it's doing and await users vocal commands.  

The last and most attractive feature about the battery life of this phone. Having a  high-capacity 3,500mAh battery, the main selling point for the Motorola Droid Maxx is its promised longevity.The phone was able to push through test of video playing benchmark for 15 hours and 50 minutes. While far from the 48 hours of "mixed" use Motorola claims the Maxx is capable of, this showing is well ahead of the Droid Razr Maxx HD (14 hours, 53 minutes) and substantially longer than both the HTC One (9 hours, 37 minutes) and Samsung Galaxy S4 (10 hours, 30 minutes: average). 

Indeed, this latest device consistently demonstrated the same ludicrously long run time, well over 14.5 hours playing HD video. It also charged swiftly, reaching full power from zero charge in under an hour. Another nice extra is the Droid Maxx's (and all the new Droids for that matter) support for wireless charging via the Qi standard.

Samsung Galaxy Round

Samsung's upcoming curved display smartphone, the Galaxy Round, is most likely an prototypic device with Samsung producing it in very limited quantities, according to the revealed news from web.
 
The Samsung Galaxy Round is a prototype model to showcase and having test curved OLED displays. Samsung has priced the device steeply even in its home market, South Korea, for this very reason, and doesn't have a lot of units to sell. This new phone launching plan, much more like Galaxy Grand or Mega which is hardly found in the markets of southside Korea. For its limited availability, may be one's have to bring this phone from South Korean market with country locked and lagnuage compatibility problems.It has been heard that, Samsung doesn't intend to sell the Galaxy Round outside South Korea. As the publication notes, it's not the first time that Samsung has launched devices with limited availability just to test the markets. It had earlier launched the SCH-W850, to test AMOLED technology, and the Samsung Galaxy S II HD, to test HD AMOLED displays. 

 
Samsung had launched the Galaxy Round, earlier this month. It much seems like a modification of  Galaxy Note smartphone, with a display that curves side-to-side (horizontally). The phone sports a 5.7-inch OLED full-HD display and is powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and 3GB RAM. It sports a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front facing camera. The phone runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. It comes with a 2800mAh battery and offers LTE-A high-speed 4G connectivity.
 
Its key features include a tilt function which allows users to check information such as missed calls and battery life, even when the home screen is off. Users can also scroll through media files by pressing the screen's right or left.
 
To make an equal racetrack with Samsung, LG, is also reportedly working on a curved display smartphone, which has leaked in press renders and also in web. The press renders suggest that LG 'G Flex' smartphone's 6-inch display would be curved from top to bottom,unlike Samsung Galaxy Round's side-to-side curved display. The phone is likely to be launched probably in November or December, though the pricing, hardware specifications and availability details are not known at this point in time. 

Google Nexus 5

Biggest online giant Google is coming with its new Android operating system Kitkat 4.4 into its new smartphone Nexus 5 at the end of October. The Nexus 5 briefly popped up on Google Play before Google's official announcement, leaving no doubt now that Nexus 5 will be its official name, that it will cost $349 unlocked, and that it will at least come in black.  

Hopefully, The Nexus 5 should be the first smartphone to run Android 4.4 KitKat, Google's next OS. Google has already formalized the platform, but the details are a complete mystery. What new features are coming with this OS version, is mostly unknown. According to Google, this OS will be top most of all previous android OS's, with extraordinary feature and compatibility.

About other andoird device rather Nexus, Google ensures that their new operating system will be compatible for all other upgradable firmware devices, Mostly the tables. Other smartphone companies have to make their fixed versioned devices upgradable to run with new Android Kitkat 4.4. 

Like Nexus 4, Google relies about the manufacturing responsibility to LG.The Nexus 5 should have a 4.96-inch screen, which would make it the largest Nexus smartphone to date. We should look for the same 1,920x1,080-pixel HD display as the G2's, which equals a 444-pixel density. 

About the performance, there is no doubt that, it will come with best and optimized hardware performance into the market. But it is assuming that, the Nexus 5 will have  quad-core 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU. geared by 2GB of RAM, LTE support, and NFC capability, the handset is expected to employ wireless charging capability and a 2,300mAh battery. Leaked benchmarks results have the Nexus 5 outperforming all other Android devices and rivaling Apple's iPhone 5S. 

Google Play listed the Nexus 5 price as "starting at $349." Hopefully, this covers the 16GB model, with a 32GB version fetching $399 or more.

Sony Vaio's Flip Notebook.

Sony's new convertible Vaio laptop is now in market. For very first time at PC history, Sony introducing a new and very attractive designed Flip notebook, which is mostly called hybrid combination of laptop and tablet.At this point in PC history, it's almost more surprising to see a new high-profile laptop without some sort of bendy, twist hybrid design than one with it. That's why you won't be shocked to see that Sony's new flagship midsize Vaio is more than simply another slim clamshell.  

That notebook which vaio recently released is named Sony Vaio Flip 15, with an attractive cool design with flip compatible and convertible big screen laptop. This just not only add a new design to notebook history but also a cool and exclusive design for laptops.As one might guess from the name of the Flip, the system's transformative abilities come from a screen that, well, flips.The main issue people have with that design is that the keyboard, while deactivated, ends up pointing out from the bottom of the tablet, which can be awkward and uncomfortable.   

The Flip solves that particular problem by adding a hinge to the center of the upper lid, forming a horizontal line from left to right. The lid folds back along that line, allowing the screen to tilt back. First, it flips back to form a kiosk mode, with the screen pointing out from the back of the system.Then the lid can be pushed shut to form a slate-style tablet and the keyboard is on the inside. 

Lets take look:

The Vaio Flip's price is depends on its screen size. Two available version for screens are 14 inch and 15 inch. The 15 inch Vaio Flip starts from $1199 includes with fourth-gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 1TB 7,200rpm hard drive. There is also a discrete version which costs $799 with second-gen intel core i3 CPU, and others are same configurations with 14 inch full LED touch screen lid. 

 

The Vaio Flip 15 is a slim 15-inch midsize laptop with a silver brushed-aluminum lid and keyboard tray and black accents.The lid and keyboard tray both extend out from the sides of the base slightly, creating the optical illusion that the system is even thinner than it is. At a hair over five pounds, this isn't a carry-it-around-every-day laptop, but it's fine for occasional trips to the office or coffee shop.

The interior is eye-catching in that it's nearly monochromatic. The same brushed-metal look from the lid extends to the wrist rest and area surrounding the keyboard, which has silver keys against a silver base, and is backlit in white, creating a bright, clean overall look. 

The keyboard is similar to Sony's other island-style keyboards, a style the company has been using longer than even Apple. The key size and spacing are excellent, although there's a lot of  space on all sides, meaning that a larger keyboard or a separate number pad could easily be used.

A large touch pad works well, especially in conjunction with the touch screen. Multi Touch gestures, usually a sticking point for Windows laptops, are smooth here, especially the all-important two-finger scroll. 

While the Vaio Flip, for its slim design,  having extra software, and solid keyboard and touchpad  works well as a traditional  laptop.You may question, how does it work as a tablet? Well, the "flip" hinge is a worthwhile idea, as it maintains the integrity of the usual form, a key point for any hybrid. If you didn't already know how it works, the folding mechanism might go by unnoticed, and the fine black line bisecting the back of the lid could be misinterpreted as merely a design cool. 

With the lid open, you first have to slide a physical switch located just above the keyboard from the "lock" to the "release" position. Slide the switch over, and the lid still stays in place, held by a strong magnet. But give it a firm push from the top, and the lid folds back, flipping over 180 degrees. The center hinge is so minimalist, it hardly looks sturdy enough for aggressive flipping, but in several days of hands-on use, it gave me no problems.  

Last of all i am satisfied by reviewing of a cool product like Sony Vaio Flip. If you have a plan to buy a tablet and laptop, i will suggest you to buy this one where your need of both will be fulfilled. This notebook will make me told once again that, Sony is the True Maker. The real desinger of cool and extraordinary tech gadgets.
