Sony Xperia Ion

Sony Xperia Ion public was introduced back in January at the Consumer Electronics Show CES in Las Vegas. Then it was planned that this device appears only in sales in the U.S. market, while Europe should meet the Xperia S. But during the summer, the news from Sony Xperia Ion will be available in other markets.

Therefore, the first difference with the Xperia S design. Although ion follows a distinctive signature touch of the Xperia series, characterized by sharp edges, it is evident that it is a slightly larger device. A copy of which we tested comes with a dark red background, and there is even completely black. The background is, viewed from the side, the derived oval to make the device better lay in his hand, while the sharp edges are on the front.
The casing is made as one piece so you can not open it to remove the battery. Many people find this concept design casing does not like it, but on the other hand provides a more sturdy construction.

General impression of holding the device in your hand is good, it works nicely, but also robust. Specifically, the Xperia Ion with its 10.8 mm thickness deviates from thin models such as the Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X, but that we do not mind one bit. It should be noted that the thickness of 10.8 mm measured at the thickest part, ie in the middle, while the back of the device with the rounded and consequently the greater part of the surface thinner, making the device even greater elegance.

Unlike Xperia S which comes with a 1750 mAh battery Xperia Ion has a larger capacity, ie, 1900 mAh. Regardless, no surprises. At full brightness the screen and a constant connection to the Internet (Wi-Fi/3G), Sony Xperia Ion will be subject to a reasonable use without problems stand all day. Anything more than that is a compromise in the form of switching to automatic lighting, work on 2G network and connect to the Internet when needed.

Generally, the Sony Xperia Ion device is sizable, but nothing special more than others in the class. Designed in classic Sony style, equipped with dual-core processor with excellent performances and a very good camera, this device is going to interest many geeks, but those with a stronger sense of aesthetics. We could say that this device actually connects the two worlds.

Samsung Galaxy S III

Samsung Galaxy S III, or the Samsung Galaxy S3 (as you prefer) is certainly the most anticipated smartphone 2012th year, with the exception of the next iPhone. Before you touch the device will try to explain why being around him fuss.

Even in early 2012. year began to speculate on a successor to twins, and on all sides could be heard many rumors about the specifications. In February, when he held a traditional MWC in Barcelona, we expected that Samsung introduce the successor to the popular twins, but Samsungovci were already aware that they should not miss the opportunity to very announcement of further marketing NaBr. For this reason, the presentation was postponed. For announcements triplets organized a special event, so the whole story is further heated.

It is evident that the Samsungovci the last two years have learned a lot from Apple, especially when it comes to marketing. Periodic release of information to the public and appropriate timing succeeded in producing an atmosphere that many fans literally freaked. The event, odsnono media conference where he presented the Galaxy S3 was not at the level of Apple, although it is evident that the inspiration for one side is missing. You could count the number of failures, but since in this paper we focus on the device itself, the philosophy of marketing we'll leave for another day.

Basic characteristics

- Dimensions: 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm
- Weight: 133 grams
- Super AMOLED 4.8 "screen, HD resolution (1280 × 720), approx.300 PPI, Gorilla Glass 2

- NFC, WiFi Direct, DLNA wireless connectivity
- HDMI via MHL port

Since Samsung can not just boast awards for design smartphones, few had expected that the Galaxy S3 will be designed so that at first glance take your breath away. After all, we had a similar situation with its predecessor, with the addition of clear cheap plastic from which the cabinet has been made.
Already a few days after the official announcement rumors began to circulate that this design Galaxy S3 result of multiple lawsuits with Apple in which Samsung (among other things) accused of copying designs. Some went so far as to develop a theory that the trio designed by lawyers, for the purpose of avoiding any disputes with Apple. Of course, from Samsung have denied these allegations, and we should not be overly intelligent to conclude that such qualifications are exaggerated.

Generally, Samsung has managed to achieve what no one in this field unless Apple has not, and that's charisma. For Samsung Galaxy S III in many countries are waiting in lines, and similar to those for the iPhone that I have Samsung a few months ago mocked in their commercials. Of course, the whole circus is still not at the level of Apple, but it is on track to become so. What is the most important thing in this story is the fact that behind all this pomp is thoroughly covered. Harmony software and hardware has been raised to a higher level, which guarantees great pleasure in using.

All in all, the Samsung Galaxy S3 device according to which all others must be measured and what will be many polemics, tests and analyzes to compare.

Review: LG Optimus 4X HD

Let us recall the moment last year when Nokia first launched on the market smartphone with dual-core processor. It was the sort of event of the year, but sales figures did not meet expectations. Soon, the Samsung Galaxy S2 its literally conquered the market and left in the shadows even the HTC Sensation from which expected a lot more. It turned out that the LG Optimus 2X, although basically excellent condition, suffered from a weakness of which were mainly caused by hasty ejection on the market under the imperative to be first.

This year, LG rotating plate. Although before the start of the MWC in February failed to forestall competition and be back in the first presentation of the new number of cores, just launch Optimus 4X HD though has been delayed for the summer. We believe that the reason for this improvement of the product to come to market more complete.

LG Optimus 4X HD has a task to directly compete with Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC in One-X, which will not be an easy task. Samsung Galaxy S3 has already broken all possible sales results within the Android ecosystem, while HTC One X lags heavily behind him. What fate will befall the third king we'll see, but it is certain that it has huge potential.

Basic characteristics
- Dimensions: 132.4 x 68.1 x 8.9 mm
- Weight: 133 grams
- Display: 4.7 "IPS-LCD 1280 x 720
- Processor: Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core Cortex-A9 1.5 GHz
- Graphic processor: GeForce ULP
- RAM: 1 GB
- Internal memory: 16 GB (dsotupno 12)
- Slot for Memory Card
- Camera: 8 MP
- Video camera: 1080p
- OS: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
- Battery: 2150 mAh

Benefits
- Excellent screen

- Design

- A regular SIM card

- Excellent Video Player

- Price

Disadvantages
- The video camera has problems with focus

- Sound Quality

- Late in the arrival on the market

Comparing LG Optimus 4X HD direct rivals Samsung Galaxy S III and HTC-TV One X, we will notice its straight lines and flat, but no sharp edges. Also, when compared with those models LG Optimus 4X HD is designed in the classic and conservative style. LG is a positive thing in their top model did not experiment with the design, but put everything on a secure card classics. Although the device is almost entirely made of plastic,'s solid and robust, and dual chrome edge gives him a needed dose of elegance.
What I especially like is the battery cover with a rough surface, similar to the model of the Prada 3.0, which in addition to work as interesting, and has the necessary function to prevent the device from sliding arm. The camera is well integrated into the housing and is flush with the lid, unlike the one in which X lens literally towering.

LG Optimus 4X HD is undoubtedly a superb device in front of their biggest rivals proved quality workmanship and reliable software, but with a reputation that is currently enjoying its Samsung Galaxy S3, for which they had invested huge sums of marketing, it is difficult to succeed getting the attention it deserves proven .

When the hardware is concerned, it seems that smartphones this year reached a certain peak and generally left very little room for improvement, and the futuristic flexible displays and liquid metal, we will probably wait a little longer. The difference is now down to usability and convenience, where the LG Optimus 4X HD and Galaxy S3 winning HTC One X solely because of removable battery and memory card support, with the LG to some benefits because it does not require a micro SIM card. By the way, do not forget that it has already arrived and nano-SIM.

Of course, all the above assumes that the dimensions of the devices you are not a problem. Also, a big role in the selection and design of the smartphone game, whatever we say about it. LG Optimus 4X HD in this respect there is no reason for concern because it successfully combines elegance with sizable dimensions.
