Over the
last 2-3 years the world has become and entirely different place, long gone are
the days when people used to eagerly await for the release of the most
anticipated movie of the summer! People now wait for the latest gadget to hit
the market, the most eagerly anticipated being smartphones and tablets.
In this
article I would be taking a look at the some of the most hyped
smartphones and tablets.
HTC One:
The HTC One is the HTC’s flagship phone for summer 2013 and
in my view the phone to beat ! Elegantly designed, sleek and smart, this phone
runs on Android 4.1.2 jelly bean along with a Snapdragon
600 quad core CPU, these two features makes it the fastest smartphone out there
in the market. It’s exuberant 4.7” LCD provides an impressive display. The phone
has 4G LTE, dual band WiFi (including support for 802.11ac), Bluetooth
4.0, NFC, a GPS with GLONASS, a consumer IR port for AV gear control, USB OTG
host. The most impressive and innovate spec of this phone is its 4MP camera,
you may think that this is where HTC One comes short well here you are
mistaken, because this is an ultramega pixel camera, producing great results.
Another fature which makes this phone special is its boomsound speakers,
usually phone speakers are not that great, but these babies are off the chart!
The next
smartphone I would be discussing is none other than HTC One’s nemisis, yes you
got that right I am talking about none other than Samsung Galaxy S4.
Samsung Galaxy S4
This bad
boy here is the flagship phone for Samsung, one of the most powerful and fast
mobiles out there. Although I have a few reservations about its design, an all
plastic body is not elegant nor does it resonate power although a pinch of
metal does break the plastic monotony, still its not as beautifully designed as
the HTC One. Still it’s a nice looking phone and its specs make up for the
design. It has Android 4.2.2, a magnificent camera with an amazing result, a
powerful quad-core processor, The list just goes on, it can even work as a
TV/DVR remote along with a user-replaceable battery, and a microSD
storage slot.
Its wide
range of applications and features would require time to truly master, this
facet of its is what would keep users interested in this gadget and would last
a long time aswell. Although I had a few issues with the camera specially
during the night, still it takes a far better picture than most camera phones
out there in the market.
These
were the only two phones worth mentioning this summer, so now lets move on to
the Tablets that are coming out this summer. To the surprise of many reading
this article, I will not be reviewing the iPad, because with the release of the
Tegra 3 the quad core Android tablets have become monsters and trust me
when I say this people at Apple are afraid!
Google Nexus 7:
Tegra 3
quad-core processor, 12 core GPU, 8GB and 16GB internal storage and 7-inch 1280
x 800 screen, makes this bad boy a power house, brilliant beautifully designed,
easy to handle and AFFORDABLE. Its two closest rivals the Kindle Fire and
the iPad mini have nothing against this tablet. Its
beautiful design coupled with functionality and affordability is what
makes this gadget the top tablet in my books.
Asus
Transformer Pad Infinity
Had it not been for its
price, this tablet would surely have been my favorite. Like the name, the
gadget itself is really cool. Very elegantly designed, the tablet has all
the features that a high end tablet should! Speed, apps, functionality but what
really makes this tablet a treat to have is its out of this world
display. If you have a wallet fat with cash, than I suggest you get this tablet
and enjoy the amazing display and its standard dock keyboard.
