Motorola Triumph Review

The Motorola Triumph is an Android 2.2 Froyo powered smartphone that will employ a spacious 4.1-inch display with 800×480 WVGA screen resolution, a perfect size for those that don’t feel comfortable with 4.3-inch displays and want it a tad bit smaller.

Virgin Mobile’s Motorola device is also going to come equipped with a 1GHz single-core Snapdragon processor, a 5MP rear facing camera and a VGA front facing cam for video chat, 720p playback and video capture, a 1400 mAh battery, 512MB RAM, and 2GB of on board storage with microSD card slot in case you need more space to put stuff.

The nice thing about the Triumph is that it manages to fit all of this into an extremely thin design with its thinnest point measuring a mere .4 inches.

Motorola and Virgin Mobile failed to give us a concrete date at the launch event only saying that the device would be out sometime in July. Well, since then, evidence has surfaced indicating that the Triumph is on a crash course with July 19th. So, it’s pretty safe to assume that it will be out somewhere around in and around that Friday.

The PlayStation Phone is Xperia Play

After several leaks concering the Playstation phone, Sony Ericsson finally release the phone that now called as the Xperia Play.

The Xperia Play are officially release at the MWC 2011 in Barcelona. The Xperia Play will combine the quality of Playstation games with Android OS.

In potrait mode, the Xperia Play have the Android style standard, with 5 megapixel camera and 4 inch multi-touch camera with 480×584 resolution. the differenc is the phone have a game keypad just as the PlayStation console have.

Inside, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1GHz Processor is running the device. With Adreno GPU that can play game graphic up to 60fps, it is promised to give an extreme mobile gaming experience and reduce power consumption.

Xperia Play, is the first phone that have a PlayStation sertification. Which means, the phone are sertified to access the PlayStation Suite which will be launch next year.

LG Optimus 3D launched – Glasses-free 3D and ‘Tri-Dual’ architecture

The LG Optimus 3D is now finally officially launched and it will be available in Europe first before it comes over to the United States as the AT&T Thrill 4G.

The big to-do about the LG Optimus 3D is that it does glasses-free 3D and it does it pretty well. Games and videos pop out of the screen when you have this mode enabled and you’ll be able to use the two 5-megapixel cameras to record 3D in 720p HD. You can also record in 1080p HD if you want to stick with that 2D jazz.

The specs on this Android 2.2 Froyo device haven’t changed much since we first saw it. The company is pushing its “Tri-dual” architecture: it has a dual-core TI OMAP processor (that does really well in benchmarks), dual-channel and dual-memory. The device also comes with 3G, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth and the other goodies you’d expect.

Enough with the marketing fluff, how does this thing stack up in real life? Well, in our full review, Blake found that this is definitely a bleeding edge phone and that means users will be getting awesome hardware but may be turned off by some of those early-adopter bugs.

Despite its downfalls, the Optimus 3D is still a great phone even without it being a 3D handset. If you’re not a power user and would only use 3D lightly, you may manage to have better success with the battery on the handset, and we can imagine that LG is working on optimizations.

I could go on and on about the Optimus 3D, but to spare you from another nine paragraphs, I’ll just tell you this: In its current form, I have no intention whatsoever to purchase a 3D-enabled handset, no matter who makes the thing. I just don’t need it. However, it in now way should stop you from grabbing this hot handset, because LG got a lot right with its first 3D phone.

Are you jazzed about this one?

iPhone 5 Rumors

The iPhone may be the most popular smartphone ever released by Apple. It may have some discoloration as well reception issues with the iPhone 4 but somehow it has able to manage its good standing in the smartphone industry. But just recently there were ongoing rumors that Apple is set to unveil the next generation iPhone which is apparently called the iPhone 5.

As rumored, the iPhone 5 is going to address the issue on reception that most iPhone 4 users complained about. Aside from this, Apple has also been rumored to be on the process of developing a payment system that will make use of your iPhone to serve as some sort of a credit card in various stores and establishments – no need for additional phone attachment.

In fact, Apple hired the services of Benjamin Vigier, a known expert in the mobile payment industry. Benjamin Vigier has been known for using a technology called near field communication or NFC. Vigier is one of Apple’s Product Managers at present and basically he was assigned to handle Apple’s Mobile Commerce Division. Aside from Vigier, Apple has also hired the services of some phone engineers that are well-experienced in NFC and other similar mobile technologies.

With this actions being done by Apple, some believes that this only signifies that the next generation iPhone will be able to act as a payment method in stores just like certain phones in Japan which can be use for subway rides and vending machines.

According to some reliable source, Apple will be integrating this NFC technology using a hardware from NXP Semiconductor which is the market leader when it comes to NFC. These reliable sources also revealed that Apple has been making NFC-enabled iPhone prototype is also running some test related to mobile payments.

The iPhone 5 is anticipated to be released early next year and with the recent developments and researches being made by Apple, most likely the iPhone 5 will include the NFC technology. Apple is also planning to integrate NFC technology in its Apple TV and Mac books as well in order to transfer data between these devices at a high speed.

At this point it’s pretty obvious that Apple is preparing for this upcoming iPhone device, making sure that everything will be perfect. But the iPhone 5 is far way to go since it will still pass some more testing and pre-production stage before its final release.

Basically, the iPhone 5 will most likely offer something new with its mobile commerce as well as its short range wireless applications. This new technology combined with Apple’s hardware, software and platform strategy, will surely make the iPhone 5 to be a hit once it penetrates the market.

Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 Review

Samsung’s QWERTY messengers have not exactly been setting the world on fire. They have done well though to set the scene for this one. The Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 follows on the heels of Omnia and Corby. It puts Android in a time-tested form factor and is ready to entertain upgraders coming from dumbphones and PocketPCs alike.



Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 official pictures

The Galaxy Pro has a clear objective – deliver the full Android experience, a good social package and hassle-free messaging. What does it need to meet those tasks? Well, a comfortable QWERTY keyboard obviously, possibly a touchscreen, enough processing power and at least some basic shooting skills to capture the important moments. Of course, a messenger is nothing without a proper OS and this is where the Android Froyo comes in. But let’s see what else the Galaxy Pro has to offer.

Key features

• 2.8" 256K-color TFT capacitive touchscreen of QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) resolution
• Full four-row QWERTY keyboard
• ARMv6 800MHz CPU, 270MB RAM, 180MB of user-available storage
• Android 2.2.2 (Froyo) with TouchWiz 3.0 UI
• Quad-band GSM and dual-band 3G support
• 7.2 Mbps HSDPA
• Wi-Fi 802.11 b, g, n with hotspot functionality
• GPS with A-GPS connectivity; digital compass
• 3.15 MP autofocus camera
• QVGA video recording @30fps
• microUSB port (charging) and stereo Bluetooth v3.0
• microSD slot (up to 32GB, 2GB in box)
• Standard 3.5 mm audio jack
• Accelerometer and proximity sensor
• Document viewer out of the box, paid editing
• Stereo FM radio with RDS
• Light and compact
• Smart dialing

Main disadvantages

• The QVGA screen looks bad and limits the choice of apps
• Portrait homescreen ported to landscape takes some time getting used to
• QVGA-only video recording
• No shutter key
• No Adobe Flash support in the browser
• No secondary video-call camera
• No ambient light sensor
• No dedicated video player app
• No multi-touch
• Android 2.2 Froyo, instead of latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread

It should be clear by now the Galaxy Pro B7510 isn’t your typical Android powerhouse for HD video, quality imaging or heavy-duty internet browsing. Gaming is out of the picture too. To be honest, the Galaxy Pro doesn’t quite make the grade as a BlackBerry competitor. To make up for it, it is social and friendly – and a great texter too. Virtual keyboards have been getting better but the Galaxy Pro’s superbly laid-out keypad is the prefect addition to Gmail.

So the Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 it is and, although this is not the typical Android package, let’s hope the experience is up to scratch. With a handful of Samsung Ch@ts, Corbies and Omnia messengers gone almost unnoticed, we’re about to see if our Galaxy Pro here has what it takes to leave a mark. Our traditional hardware check-up is due right after the break.
