iPhone 6

Everybody expected for several months to see the iPhone 6, especially its design and specs. In my opinion this new smartphone is a big disappointment (at least for me), because I (and many millions of people) expected great innovations in the field of smartphones technology.

The new smartphone is better than iPhone 5S, but not too much if you're looking to its main specs:
- 4.7'' display with 326 ppi;
- Apple A8 1.4 GHz CPU;
- 1 GB of RAM;
- 8 Mpx primary camera and 1.2 Mpx secondary camera;
- 1080p@60fps and 720p@240fps camera video performance;
- Nano-SIM card;
- Fingerprint sensor;
- Apple Pay service for Visa & MasterCard;
- pre-installed iOS 8 that can be upgraded;
- 1810 mAh battery;
- 2G, 3G, 4G supported communication systems;
- Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac wireless communication standards;
- No Card slot;
- No Radio.

So, what to expect from the next iPhone (the most probable iPhone 6s): a 9Mpx primary camera, 1,5 GB of RAM, and pre-installed Windows Xp?

HTC 8X

Although in recent years, HTC had a slight decrease in revenue and profit, two of its smartphones, the One X that runs theAndroid operating system and the 8X that runs Windows OS are extraordinary in terms of design, but also in terms of technical performances that are capable of.

The strength of those devices from HTC are given by the fact that HTC has used a very diverse network carriers to penetrate markets in the U.S., so being able to solve the biggest problem.

Compared to the competition's smartphones, HTC 8X has a much nicer design, is extremely thin and light. It has the following dimensions: 5.21*2.61*0.4 inches, which brings in more strong points to overcome the competition and to become one of the most attractive smartphones of the moment.

This processor and the all configuration of the HTC 8X works at the best parameters, the only weakness beening that it can not support additional storage capacity by SD card.

In this configuration, the processor is powerful enough to power the operating system that runs on smartphone and all the other applications that runs on it.

Windows Phone 8 running on this smartphone is extremely fast, with the advantage that most of us are familiar with the applications that comes bundled with the operating system, it is user-friendly, intuitive and very easy to use.

Regarding his price and availability, 8X is much better than its competitor, it can be found at three of the largest carriers in the U.S., at Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile and is available for only $99, while iPhone 5 is twice as expensive, $199, which certainly will give all his potential buyers more reasons to bought the 8X, since it has better specs and is also twice affordable, making it a good choice for all buyers.

Watching rented or purchased movies on this high performance smartphone is a pleasure, given that it has an amazing HD screen and the Link feature can realize the wireless projection on a compatible TV.

Modern design with simple lines, curves, defined gives the smartphne a thin look, lightweight, sophisticated class.

Other special features of this very powerful smartphone: 135 grams with battery, 4.7 inches display, 2100 mAh capacity battery. Anyway, my favorite features are: his sound quality, the camera features, screen size and social communicator.

Cheapest HTC ONE M7

 

From April, 1st, Sprint has began selling the HTC One for the price of $199 with a 2 year contract and it was not a joke, but the strategy of those from HTC who had started the second quarter of the year in force in terms of sales for the new poweful smartphone.

A carrier strategy, the T-Mobile's, was entirely different from traditionally one, and they expressed their clear desire to sell in a totally different way this just launched device: to remove the traditional ways of selling these devices with agreements for one or two years and turned them into different strategy: for a monthly cost of $50 that covers unlimited calls, unlimited sms and about 500 MB of data traffic, buyers have the opportunity to buy this last generation smartphone under more favorable terms. This version requires a higher initial cost, because the device is a little more expensive in these conditions, however, my advice is to well check and compare the offers of different carriers long before making a decision.

The strategy of HTC in terms of prices was as follows: ONE is not in any way a cheap smartphone, but its price should be kept below the iPhone's 5 to have this advantage over the biggest competitor.

As one of the most anticipated smartphone of the year 2013, and because maintaining attention of his interested buyers is very important for the company, especially since the year 2012 was a little disappointing for the company in terms of sales volume indicator compared to its other competitors.

Latest rumors give the end of April as the date for this very powerful smartphone will arrive in all stores in the U.S. In the U.S. HTC One will be sold through the biggest carriers from the United States like Verizon, AT&T, Sprint or T-Mobile for a price of approx. $200 for the 16 GB storage capacity version.

HTC ONE M7

Between Samsung and Apple, HTC comes with a stunning design, with improved full HD screen, 4.7-inches display with over 468 ppi, so much more than the human eye can perceive, but which give an accurate and amazing clarity to images displayed on it.

Among his technical specs, I just tell you about the 32 Gb storage capacity, which is more than enough, last generation Bluetooth, 4g connections to the latest standards, being sensitive and having more performance, and many other improvements, so would be hard for you not to enjoy this great smartphone.

The design of this smartphone is so beautiful that it's hard to describe the amazing experience, my advice is that you do not miss to test yourself this very powerful and beautiful smartphone.

Those who created this smartphone had no intention for it to be a very easy, as they say about Samsung's smartphones, but a powerful device, and cute at the same time, even in these conditions, it has one of the finest designs ever, combining great technology with astounding aesthetics.

It has a full HD display of 4.7 inches, is much thinner than the previous version, but has a slightly higher weight than other competing smartphones, with metal casing, which gives it a premium look.

Its use will be a delight, being able to satisfy the most demanding tastes of its customers from different categories. The dual front speakers and texture of the casing give a good impression to the eye and to the touch, matching the color of metallic aluminum, all of which are designed down to the smallest detail, to give a single, beautiful, futuristic, unique and specific look.

At first glance, some features are resembling those of IPhone5, but his lines are better defined and the curve of the back can not be mistaken and is one of the distinctive elements of this smartphone.

From my experience, I say that it will be impossible to find a flaw in this smartphone, a flaw or something that could be improved, in my opinion, HTC One, with this design and features is very close to perfection. Overall, it will be hard to not be impressed by his design, construction, features and specs.

What impressed me at this smartphone was its wonderfull desing, its HD Super AMOLED display of 4.8 inches with true realistic colors, its powerfull CPU, the features of camera, the eye tracking function, and a little more details.

But it have a few important weaknesses: its battery can't ensure enough energy power if the smartphone is used on the internet for a long time (more than 5 hours), also its 1 GB of RAM isn't working at standard parameters for multisaking activities that involve huge resource consuming applications.
