Archos 50b, 50c Oxygen Are Budget Quad, Octa-core Smartphones – Android Community

ZOPO ZP998 Octacore Android Smartphone Review and Giveaway

The 50b priced at around USD$220 will be using MediaTeks MT6582 chipset, which is a quad-core processor running at 1.3Ghz per core. Strangely, and maybe by necessity being a budget phone, both variants will have only 1GB of RAM. The performance boost of added RAM say maybe 2GB of it in an octa-core phone is substantial, and we were wondering if Archos could have squeezed the cost enough to at least put 2GB of RAM in the octa-core 50c Oxygen. Also, both variants will have the same 2,000maAh batteries. Again we wonder if a little more battery power could have been given to the octa-core variant, which is sure to need more juice turning 8 cores.

The core apps for the Google experience are here, as are the core apps for a smartphone experience. Theres no duplication of application functionality here.You get the stock Android apps out of the box, and just a few additions to help you live. One of those additions is the torch app, which you can activate with a touch-baseshortcut on the screen when the OnePlus One is on stand-by, or idling on the lock screen. Draw a quick V on the screen and thecamera LED will turn on like a touch. You can also draw a circle to activate the camera, or a two fingered swipe to play or pauseyour music. You can also double tap the screen instead of pressing the power button to wake up the device. Given the nature of the power button (it is very small and almost flush to the edge of the device), this is a welcome addition to the UI ofthisChinese-built smartphone.

When idling, the ZP998 drains about 20 percent over an eight hour period, which isnt particularly good, although since I have poor cellular reception in my area, this isnt all that bad either. Benchmark Performance In AnTuTu, the ZP998 scored around 28,000, making it on paper among the fastest smartphones you can buy today. However, we must note that the MTK6592 chipset offers an octacore processor octacore processors may work fantastic for multitasking but they require that apps support multiple threads. Most apps, unfortunately, do not take full advantage of the eight cores and so you typically get poorer performance than a CPU with a higher frequency and fewer cores. Also take into consideration that AnTuTu scores suffer from rampant cheating device manufacturers configure their phones to overclock whenever benchmarking is detected.

Mutant Malware Threatens US Android Phones

It has superb performance, and excellent build quality spoiled only slightly by running hot in use. You can’t fault the feature set, and it matches the other high-end products in terms of price. In terms of audio and visual output it is unsurpassed. The interface might be an acquired taste for some, and we weren’t overly impressed with the camera. It’s not perfect, but alongside the Xperia Z and iPhone 5 this is about as good a phone as you can buy. Reviewed on: 13 May 14 RRP: 135 inc VAT Rating: Motorola’s Moto G is the best budget smartphone around.

OnePlus One Review: The CyanogenMod Powered Smartphone That Outclasses The Android Competition – Forbes

This new version of Svpeng got a makeover in looks as well as strength: Its screen overlay stops Android users from accessing any other device functions, and is difficult to circumvent because the malware launches upon reboot. (Affected users should use Google to learn how to put their specific device into “safe mode,” which may get around the lockout.) The creators have also customized the new variant of Svpeng to target Android users in the United States, tricking out the lock screen with an FBI logo. This version takes a picture of the infected phone’s user with the device’s front-facing camera and displays it on the screen, claiming the FBI have the image and know the user’s face. Users are then told to pay $200 in MoneyPak vouchers if they want to regain control of their phones, and are even directed users to stores in the U.S. that sell the vouchers.

HP said Wednesday it was working on a new computer architecture, dubbed The Machine, based on a type of memory called memristors and a communications technology called silicon photonics, which uses light beams to move data around at high speeds. Its still a research project in HPs labs, and its not certain whenif everThe Machine will make it to market. But HP is throwing a lot of resources at the problemas many as three-quarters of its labs staff are working on itand its estimates for delivery range from three years to the end of the decade. HP believes the current computing architectureused in smartphones, PCs and just about every other type of computer you can think ofcant keep pace with expanding compute and storage needs.

HTC One Before you all bust a spleen about the HTC One’s mighty tumble from top spot hear us out. Unless you’re desperate to pay slightly less per month, the new HTC One M8 does everything the One does – just a whole lot better. If you’ve got your heart set on HTC’s Sense UI, its Ultrapixel camera, or the sultry premium design you’re better off spending a little bit of extra cash and nabbing yourself the superior One M8. That said, if your budget really can’t stretch that far the HTC One is still an accomplished handset which feels great in the hand and works wonderfully well – although the battery life can be a little hit and miss Quick Verdict The original One still deserves its place in the top ten, but remember that this has one year fewer in terms of HTC promising to keep it upgraded, so if you pick it up now you might not get the newer versions of the software in 12 months time. See the best HTC One deals 7. Sony Xperia Z1 Compact We said that the HTC One Mini is best down sized flagship around, and at its price point it is, but if you’re willing to spend a little extra cash the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is well worth considering.

HP believes the current computing architectureused in smartphones, PCs and just about every other type of computer you can think ofcant keep pace with expanding compute and storage needs. So it embarked on a project about two years ago to rethink computing from the ground up, CTO Martin Fink said at an HP conference in Las Vegas. A key goal for The Machine is to replace the different storage technologies in use today with a single universal memory pool made from memristors, he said. Thats a new type of memory, still at the research stage, that uses ions instead of electrons to represent the 1s and 0s of computer code.

Celkon Campus A35K is India’s cheapest Android 4.4 smartphone

This offers fantastic battery saving as the device oftentimes drains 20% overnight. This feature does not, to my knowledge, exist within the Android ecosystem and is something sorely missing from vanilla Android. Rootability The ZP998 can easily be rooted and a single custom ROM exists for it. The process, while potentially bricking your phone, doesnt take a lot of effort.

The S3 really is as good a smartphone as you can buy right now. Samsung Galaxy S3 vs Apple iPhone 4S comparison review . Reviewed on: 21 March 13 RRP: 599 inc VAT Rating: The Asus Padfone 2 is an interesting and unique offering. For 599 you get both a phone and a tablet in one although this has its limitations. Good hardware and excellent battery life are the standout features while build quality is a bit of a let-down. We really like the Padfone 2 but if you’re looking to a smartphone and a tablet on the cheap then we suggest Google’s Nexus devices. Reviewed on: 10 June 14 RRP: 229 inc VAT Rating: The Sony Xperia M2 certainly looks like a premium smartphone, but carries a surprisingly mid-range price tag.

iPad Market Share: Here’s why Apple’s iPad could be in big trouble | BGR

School thuis afmaken? Dat is ook een geweldige uitkomst met het NHA. Niet geslaagd voor je middelbare school? Je kunt je school alsnog afmaken per vak.

On Apples latest earnings call, CEO Tim Cook gave two reasons for the iPad slowdown, as shipments declined 37% sequentially and 16% year over year. Cook noted that in the March quarter, Apple significantly increased iPad channel inventory, while this year we significantly reduced it. Healso stated that there was a substantial backlog for the iPad mini in the December quarter that was shipped in the March quarter, and this quarter the company was near supply demand balance. We continue to believe that the tablet market will surpass the PC market in size within the next few years and we believe that Apple will be a major beneficiary of this trend. Apple has been proactive about trying to slow this, launching the iPad on new carriers, including most recently Japans No.1 wireless carrier NTT DOCOMO. While that may help stem the tide in the interim, it seems as if the tablet market isnt as big as many, including Apple, thought it would be.

Android Wear Notifications: Google Smartwatch Notifications Revealed | Bgr

Android Wear already looks promising, thanks mostly to the gorgeous Moto 360 smartwatch set to launch in the coming months. Weve had a few brief looks at the platform so far, and now a Google engineer has shared images of Android Wears notifications system for the first time. One of the coolest parts of Android Wear is how it extends the Android platform to a new generation of devices out of the box, without any need to update your app. If you have a notification-enabled app, those notifications will generally just work on your new wearable, Googles Timothy Jordan wrote on the Android Developers Google+ page.
