| Motorola Unveils Android 4.0 Demo Videos, Shows New UI (Video) Posted: 27 May 2012 12:47 PM PDT
Motorola just unveiled a bunch of new demo videos for Android 4.0, showcasing the features of the OS and especially the new UI elements. Don’t worry as the interface hasn’t changed that much from the stock version of the latest Android, so all of you Motoblur haters can rest easy. I’m not a big fan of Motoblur myself and although that name doesn’t exist anymore, the custom UI from Motorola exists and it didn’t impress me on the Droid RAZR. The only thing that did was the app that can be set up to perform tasks in certain circumstances or at certain locations and times of day. Back to the videos, you can see them below, showing what Android 4.0 brings to your compatible Motorola phone. The lockscreen now includes 4 shortcuts instead of two, with the two new ones being the phone and messages app. The icons and widgets were also given a different look, while everything else looks pretty much the same. The camera UI seems pretty unique to me, both in icons and in the placement of options, plus I find the timelapse feature to be very interesting, even on a modern phone. I wish more modern handsets had such options… In case you’re wondering, the Motorola Droid RAZR and RAZR MAXX are expected to get Android ICS in the coming weeks. Related posts:

| HTC One V Unboxing – The Little Chin that Could (Video) Posted: 27 May 2012 11:24 AM PDT
HTC One V has finally arrived here at GSMDome.com for testing purposes and it completes the One series, that we already reviewed here, through the One X and One S models. This is the lower end unit of the One series, offering a 1 GHz CPU and a smaller 3.7 inch display. As you can see, this model is clearly related to the HTC Legend, keeping its trademark chin. Let’s see what’s inside the box: The One V comes bundled with a pair of headphones (non Beats), a charger, a charger adapter, a microUSB cable and the usual pair of manuals. The handset, unlike the One X and One S has a microSD card slot and also a SIM slot, both of them placed at the lower back side, opposite of the front chin. They’re covered with a plastic lid, that easily slides off. HTC One V features a 3.7 inch display, with a 480 x 800 pixel resolution, it runs Android 4.0 with HTC Sense 4.0 UI and offers 4GB of storage and 512MB of RAM. At the back there’s a 5MP camera and in case you’re wondering the phone is available in black and Jupiter Rock, the latter being the color we’re testing. There’s no secondary camera here at the front and if you want audio quality, you’ve got it, via the Beats Audio technology integrated. Under the hood there’s a 1500 mAh battery, but more about the specs and other details you’ll find out from the full review in the next days! Related posts:

| Nokia 808 PureView Spotted in USA at Retailers, Priced at $666.50 Posted: 27 May 2012 10:33 AM PDT
Pretty creepy seeing a long awaited phone priced at $666, right? Well, here’s the Nokia 808 PureView 41MP handset spotted in USA some retailers, pried at the amount mentioned before. The handset seems to be well priced and we don’t know if taxes are already applied or not. US based retailer Negri Electronics is the one offering the product, in case you’re wondering. For those who are lazy to do conversions, this equals to 532 euros or 425 quid. Expansys also has the cameraphone listed for the huge price of $829.99. We’re only weeks away from the release of the phone, a pretty thick device that measures 13.9mm, weighs 169 grams and features an AMOLED 4 inch display with a measly 360 x 640 pixel resolution. It’s a ClearBlack display here, as usual. Of course, the drawing point of the handset is the 41 megapixel camera with 38 MP effective resolution, Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus and Xenon flash. It’s also got 16GB of storage, 1 GB ROM, 512MB of RAM and… Symbian. Back to the camera, it offers a 1/1.2″ sensor size, ND filter, up to 4x lossless digital zoom, geotagging, face detection and 1080p 30 fps video capture. Powering this gizmo is a 1.3 GHz ARM 11 processor. So, considering the prices and specs, will you get one? Related posts:
