In addition to acquiring thousands of patents, what will Google do with the acquisition of Motorola is highly anticipated, especially by fans of Android.

Finally, an answer came after The Wall Street Journal reported that Google and Motorola mentioned working on a smartphone called the 'X Phone' and tablets. The devices are reported to be released next year.

Related to this project, is not yet widely known. Only mentioned that the device will be the Google�s devices, and apart from what worked with Motorola RAZR and its other devices.

The former product manager at Google, Lior Ron reported as the person responsible for the product. Lior Ron himself is known as part of the mapping team.

a Number of New OS Will Appear in 2013



Currently there are only two mobile operating systems that dominate the global smartphone market, namely Android and iOS. Both operating systems that together have owned 85% of the global smartphone market share. What about in 2013?

Next year is expected to be present a number of new participants who are ready to heat up the competition in the market of mobile platforms. They include Tizen, Open webOS, Firefox OS, and 'Sailfish OS' are estimated to already be adopted from 2013. Unfortunately, the presence of numerous mobile platform alternatives mentioned above does not seem to be able to do much.

Based on observations of the mobile phone parts supplier based in Taiwanreported by DigiTimes, the top smartphone vendor seems to just be overseeing the development of alternative platforms, because they are not willing to switch from Android.

As known before acting on the Android market, the major mobile phone vendors, such as Samsung, Motorola, and other vendors are used to adopt a variety of Linux-based operating system. In fact, these vendors have the support of the leading mobile operators.

However, because it has not been established is the global smartphone market at the time and not many applications available support, making none of the Linux-based operating system manages to be the main platform, until Google offers Android.

Is the new operating system that will debut in 2013 will experience the same thing with a Linux-based OS such as those described above, it is still too early to conclude. With the operating system is at the moment, such as Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and others, could have a new operating system that is ready to enliven the mobile platform market in 2013, just be an element of 'cheerleaders'.

Samsung has worked with Intel and the Linux Foundation to develop Tizen. According to the analysis of the source, the Samsung as the primary is behind the operating system will face a problem that is not easy, because it must distribute resources between Tizen and Android. And as we know, Samsung is the closest partner Google and Android are the most powerful smartphone on the market today.

There are also 'Open webOS', the operating system developed by Palm that has been acquired Hewlett Packard. The operating system is reportedly ready to be adopted by smartphone vendors from China, ZTE in early 2013.

In addition to adopt Open webOS, ZTE is also ready to launch Firefox-based smartphone OS. Besides readily adopted ZTE, Firefox OS also has the support of several partners, such as Deutsche Telekom, Sprint, and Telenor. Early models of smartphones will be launched in Latin America beginning in 2013.

Sailfish operating system is also expected to appear next year. Sailfish developed by Jolla, a company based in Finland, will be adopted by telecom operators there, namely DNA.

How is progress on the new operating system next year, we'll see.

iPhone 5 has a lighter weight, taller and thinner than the previous generation. Exactly 20 percent lighter is 112 grams, 8.2 mm and 1.7 higher thinner than its predecessor 4S. With his higher / term then allows the screen using the 4-inch wide, from the previous one which is only 3.5 inches. This makes the ratio of the screen is different, which makes it more comfortable when gripped better or see the screen.

Placement section composition face still has not changed, because the only place the screen and the menu button that changes is the placement of the front camera is above the earpiece, where the previously placed right beside. Besides other buttons as well as the location of the main camera is placed exactly like the iPhone 4S.

In terms of its form factor to higher cell phone it will complicate difficult area by the thumb, for example when I want to press the power button with standard using. Luckily Apple managed to cope with the narrow area of ??the phone.

Changes is also made by Apple for the port Audio 3.5 which had previously been in the top, is now in place at the bottom, alongside with grid holes speakers. Not only that Apple also make changes to the data connector / power a new type called Lightning. This change is quite surprising, considering that for over 5 years using the Apple 30 pin connector. Not only is it a third party who has produced additional accessories that regular use of the connection, and automatically have to produce accessories for the 8 pin connector. Or you have to prepare a converter from 30 pin connector to 8 pin.


 Screen

Display: Retina display, 4-inch 1136 x 640 pixels, 326 ppi
Bring a 4-inch screen, the changes are very drastic indeed taken by the iPhone 5, as it brings a new screen ratio. Though 6 years have iPhone using a non-standard screen ratio, which is 3:2. And now Apple has finally brought the screen that have the (near) 16:9, such as other multimedia phones.

Ratio changes making the resolution retina display it using a widescreen 1136 x 640 pixel achieve, so the screen of the iPhone 5 could be counted on to display the image, even to show like the original color.

Hardware

CPU: 1 GHz dual-core A6; GPU: PowerVR SGX 543MP3 (triple-core graphics); Memory: 1 GB
While other vendors are already using quadcore processor, the iPhone is still using a dualcore processor. Bringing speed 1 GHz Chipset A6, A6 can still compete with other vendors' class quadcore. Compared to its predecessor are still using the A5, the new processor speed is not significant different, but when we tried, the performance of the iPhone 5 is likely to be more rapid.

OS & Software

iOS 6, Passbook, Map, Siri
Using iOS 6 the display of iPhone 5 does not change drastically, what is the different is for the growing matrix menu display. This may be because the screen is higher than the previous. Keep using scrolling horizontally but be unwilling to accommodate the screen and apps menu icon for more.

In iOS 6 is Google has pulled all its features. Includes digital maps old and features Youtube. As a replacement Apple has set up a new map in collaboration with Tom Tom.

Not much different from previous maps based on Google Maps, in this new map are also features turn by turn navigation and 3D display. And this is an improvement compared to the previous map.

iPhone 5 also offers a payment application called Passbook. As Newsstand and iBooks, Passbook is an individual in the iOS ecosystem, as the online ticket management and digital modes of payment. Merchant or specialty stores or even a specific airline can offer a payment system that involves Passbook.

And no less important is the feature Siri. In the latest Siri, Apple has a more complete database for the past year stored by the server Siri, Apple added a new vocabulary and a better ability to Siri so as to reduce the error that occurred. For example, you can simply ask for the results of sports events just by the name of the team and the desired time matches.

Siri feature is also developed to identify the pronunciation errors and correct them immediately with good response. Using Siri, the iPhone 5 is much more comfortable than the first time to test the iPhone 4S.

Camera

iSight 8 megapixel, f/2.4, panorma, HD video recorders (1080 p, 30 fps), Autofocus, + FaceTime HD camera 1.2 MP
Apple upgraded to 8 MP camera resolution previously only 5 MP on the 4S. who were given a code iSight, where the code is already there on the iPhone 4 and 4S.

When we did some shooting and compared directly with the results of the iPhone 4S camera. We obtained the conclusion that there is no reduction in quality, even at some of the photos show that the camera is better than the iPhone 5 4S camera.

Not to mention if we include a Panorama mode for comparison. Maybe for other smart phones, this feature has become their standard, but in the iOS ecosystem, this feature is fairly new. First, to do this we need additional applications from third parties.

Facetime

Not only the main camera, Apple also upgraded to the secondary camera to make FaceTime (video calls for iPhone users) who are in front. If previously only using VGA resolution, the iPhone 5 has been using resolution 1.2

Network

Batteries, Earpods, LTE, Integration of Twitter and Facebook
Apple says that the battery life of the iPhone 5 is better than the previous iPhone. This is possible because the iPhone 5 brings 1440 mAh LiPo battery, meaning a larger capacity, much less use of energy-efficient A6 chipset. So even though the sail is wider and has a new networking technologies, namely LTE. Batteries iPhone 5 is believed to last longer.

iPhone 5 capable of running at a maximum of LTE network technology which is a fourth-generation network. Facetime can be done with this network as Apple promised.

Apple also changed the type of so-called new earset earpod. Earpod unique design and the shape of the ear bones, the speaker cone made sticking into the ear cavity, accompanied by a number of other openings on the opposite side, giving the impression of a more lively sound. Its quality is above earset somewhat earlier. Bass is more pronounced because of the sound with a balanced detailed sound.

On the social networking features of Facebook and Twitter, you can directly update their status from the notification screen, or upload photos and videos from the gallery (photos).

Conclusion

In this latest-generation Apple iPhone is really changing quite dramatically, ranging from design, performance, until the replacement accessories. By design the iPhone is more convenient, faster performance for the latest processors, and the most significant is the use of 4-pin connector and a slot for nano simcardnya. Until the change of earbud earphones more comfortable on the ears. Although the price is quite expensive, it seems users will be satisfied with the changes.

Armed with a number of innovative and unique features such as 'Look Around', 'Shake to Find Friends', 'Hold to Talk', and many more, the presence of cross-platform chat application, WeChat, received a warm welcome.


One of the most eye-catching feature is the 'Hold to Talk'. Similar to a walkie-talkie, 'Hold to Talk' is a voice messaging features unique because it allows users to send each other voice messages only through a single button. This feature is the most appropriate alternative to conventional telephone service because it does not require additional cost and will not reduce the user's pulse.

"The mobile phone users now prefer to minimize text messaging because it is considered less practical and less able to convey the intended meaning. They tend to like the feature that allows them to interact more. 'Hold to Talk' is the best features to meet those needs," said Dennis Hau, Head of International Product Center, Tencent International Business Group.

With the presence of WeChat unique features, users are increasingly left by exchanging messages via text becomes increasingly monotonous and start exploring voicemail, file sharing, and location-based services.

In addition to variations in messaging, location-based services are also very popular among the users because it allows them WeChat in finding new friends and acquaintances using the 'Look Around'.

Prior to its official launch, WeChat not used as much now, but now many users can find other users very easily.


To enhance the functionality and experience of using WeChat, the developers of this application has also prepared a special renewal for holders of Nokia Windows Phone and iOS.

"WeChat for Nokia Lumia 900, Lumia 800, Lumia 710 and Lumia 610, recently updated to version 3.2 with many latest features. One of the features that we want to emphasize is WeChat Web that can be used in a PC through a browser," said Dennis Hau.

REVIEW: Sony Xperia SL, Android ICS with Superior Camera



Sony presents Xperia SL as upgrading the champion of the product which is also the first product of the generation NXT, Xperia S, which releases about 6 months ago. Sony increases the speed of the processor to 1.7GHz clockspeed on Xperia SL. In addition, these vendors also provide Xperia SL with Android ICS by default.

Either try to maintain the typical, or is running out of creative ideas. Xperia SL using an identical body design as its predecessor, the Xperia S. Design typical early generation NXT series that also looks like the Xperia P and U.

Just a reminder, the Xperia S when it comes up with accent transparent area at the back of the body as well as Xperia SL.

This phone can be said to have a simple, minimalist design, with curved and elegant fine line. Domination wide screen combined 3 pieces of the front.

For the sector's image viewer, Sony still using the screen technology, the same size and resolution as has been found in the Xperia S and also used on the Xperia Arco S.

Thanks to the Mobile Bravia Engine technology, the screen quality is proven classy when presenting the image. When used inside or outside the room, the screen still feels comfortable. In addition the display can still be easily read from an extreme angle.

Operating System and UI

Android OS, v4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
As mentioned earlier, one of the increasing Xperia SL as successor Xperia S lies in the version of the Android operating system obtained by default. If the previous Xperia S appeared armed with Android Gingerbread, Xperia SL bring Android Ice Cream Sandwich from the start. But it seems it is not so special, because as it is known, has been available ICS update for the Xperia S.

Xperia SL has a similar appearance to other Xperia also using ICS. Even the widgets that adorn 5 by default homescreen panels were identical.

As an update on version ICS recent apps display that appears when users hold the home button, now changed like a task manager built-ICS, where users can go to any running application by tapping one of them on or off the running application process by sliding sideways.

The good news, there is a possibility Xperia SL will get updates to Jelly Bean in a time when Android is also widely adopted new competitors.

Hardware

Dual-core processor 1.7 GHz Scorpion, Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon chipset, Adreno 220 GPU, 1 GB of RAM; Storage: Internal 32 GB storage, external: -, battery: Li-Ion 1750 mAh
Hardware factors behind the kitchen runway performance would be a key capability which was given a smartphone. And as the successor to the Xperia S, Sony Xperia SL increase the processor speed to 1.7GHz. While the chipset and the GPU is still the same as before.

Like the Xperia S, the phone is still not equipped with a microSD memory slot that should be used to expand the storage space on the phone.

Even so, the internal memory is big enough that owned the 32GB. When compared to its competitors, the progress experienced Xperia SL does not seem to help much, because superphone with quadcore processors are widely available.

Connectivity

GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSDPA 850/900/1900/2100, GPRS Up to 86 kbps, EDGE Up to 237 kbps, HSDPA, 14.4 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.8 Mbps, Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP, EDR; NFC; microUSB v2.0, support for USB On-the-go
Although no significant developments in the sector of connectivity options, you will agree that all the necessary connectivity options that users can be found on the Xperia SL.

With DLNA technology support, the user can play multimedia files like audio, video and photos from other devices on the Xperia SL and vice versa.

MicroUSB port the phone is also equipped with USB OTG capability so you can enable this phone to read your data on other storage media such as flash by directly connecting it to the phone.

Camera

12 MP, 4000x3000 pixels, autofocus, LED flash, Geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, 3D sweep panorama, image stabilization; Secondary Camera: 1.3 MP, 720p @ 30fps; Record video: 1080p @ 30fps, continuous autofocus, video light, video stabilizer
Like its predecessor, the Xperia SL is still superior to the affairs of the camera. Xperia SL have a camera with a resolution which is high even for the standards of today's smartphones. Features buried also unsparing ranging from autofocus, smile detection to image stabilizer.

The performance is also fairly good camera to take a picture when tested thanks to a quick response. Similarly, when the process of storing photos. There's hardly a moment of pause while taking some photos.

Internet Browser

Multi-tabs, Incognito Tab, Flash player, HTML, bookmarks, history, downloads, pinch zoom, print, share page.
Xperia SL course include reliable default ICS browser with all its features. One of them, "Saved for Offline Reading" in which, as the name implies, users can save articles from a site to read later when have more leisure time even without an internet connection.

You can also enable the "Request desktop site" that can be accessed by pressing the menu button. So the browser will always open a version of the "full site" of the sites in access and not the mobile version.

Benchmark

Applications used: Quadrant Standard Edition by Aurora Softwork and Antutu Benchmark v2.9.2 by Antutu
When tested using the Quadrant Standard Edition, Xperia SL got a score of 3429. Medium Antutu 7281 figures showed. Compare with scores first printed predecessor, Xperia S, 3199 and 6652.

Conclusion

When compared with previous devices, Xperia SL is making progress mainly due to the increase in performance that were previously 1.5GHz processor clockspeed to 1.7GHz. While the rise in the default Android version is now used by default ICS relatively insignificant considering the ICS update for the Xperia S is also available.

We deplore the absence quadcore processor on the Xperia SL flagship product from vendors while many competitors are using it, especially this phone will certainly replace the 'Xperia S' as a superior product from Sony. Beyond that, the Xperia SL exactly promising performance typical upscale smartphone capable.
