Nokia N9

Posted by Hareem at 3:39 pm

Nokia is one the leading company in the mobile phone technology but from a couple of years their market is going down. So they had to come up with an exceptionally an amazing phone which could create miracles for them and indeed they brought out such smartphones. Nokia N9 is among those phones by Nokia. It is a touchscreen phone having 8MP camera and 1GHz processor. This smartphone was a quitter successful for the Nokia but not enough to bring back Nokia’s old reputation. It is very beautifully designed in metallic alloy body. It is quite handy and looks great in handling in hand and in the pocket.

Nokia N9 have AMOLED capacitive touch screen having approx. 16 million colors, providing the user to have a good touch with a quite simple but impressive display. Nokia N9 is featuring OS MeeGo v1.2 Harmattan. It has three display screens and a notification bar at the top. MeeGo OS allows the multi-tasking. Nokia N9 has 1 GHz Cortex A8 processor. When this phone was released this processor was considered to be very fast and accurate. Now many fast performing dual and quad core processors have been introduced in the smartphone industry. However, this Cortex A8 processor with 1GHz processing speed is quite fast and it allows multi-tasking on the single touch. It has 1GB RAM plus 16/64 GB internal memory.

Nokia N9 has the efficient 8 mega pixel camera having Carl Zeiss lens along with auto focus. Camera is supported with dual LED flash. Overall its picture quality is very good. It has different picture and capture moods which enhances its camera quality. Nokia N9 camera provide video recording at 720p at 30 frames per second (fps), but its quality is not so impressive. It could provide a better video recording with this camera but somehow it is a bit behind the other smartphone cameras.

Now there are some questions that design of Nokia N9 is feasible? Its OS MeeGO can be considered as good OS for the Nokia smartphones? Simple answers to these questions are yes. Nokia came out with a good design for a smartphone like Nokia N9. OS MeeGo is preferable for the Nokia phones. It came out as a good OS for Nokia after the Symbian OS. It is a good phone but somehow trend is shifting towards Windows and Android phones and it might not be easy to create a space for the Nokia N9 in the market. It has to come up with some outstanding apps which can easily cover up Android or Windows phone fear.

Nokia Asha 303

Posted by Hareem at 2:12 pm

Nokia is bringing out new range of smartphones that are quite handy aiming the youth and emerging market in very affordable price. Nokia Asha 303 is among such phones. Though its specs are not too impressive but still there are already many loyal followers of Nokia who believes in this phone and using it.

Nokia Asha 303 feels pretty good in hand owing to its curved back and tapered back. 2.6 inch touchable screen with QWETRY keypad gives Nokia Asha 303 a quite impressive and attractive look. It is built in metallic body but still it is very light weight. The top of the mobile is reserved for the audio jack port and charging port. Volume rocker and lock is present on the right side of the mobile.

For the 1^st time capacitive touch screen technology has been used in the S40 mobiles. The screen resolution is 240x320. Its display is not so impressive; its pixel density is 154ppi. Display having such resolution and pixel density is not considered to be impressive now-a-days.

There are no spaces between the keys in the keyboard. All keys are sort of connected to each other which makes typing a bit difficult. The keyboard also feels a bit plasticky, non-existent key spaces don’t give a good impression. Overall you cannot call your typing experience very comfortable.

Its interface has been improved a lot if we compare it to the old nightmarish series 40 smartphones. Its touch has been improved quite decently. Screen is very responsive. So on small touch you can access whatever you want. The menu is provided with big icons. Its big icons give a slight look of Symbian Belle OS. Despite having 1GHz processor, Nokia Asha 303 doesn’t support multi-tasking. It is considered to be the draw-backs of the Nokia Asha 303.

Nokia Asha has 3.2 Mega Pixel camera with a quite good quality. You can easily adjust white balance and exposure. There are also many funny frames provided, face recognition and few effects also.

Finally I would say it is an average QWETRY phone by Nokia. Its touch has been improved a lot by introducing capacitive touch screen technology. There are many things which are needed to be improved in this smartphone.

iPhone 5 Roundup: Aaron's Hardware Requests

Posted by Hareem at 2:11 pm

In this iPhone 5 Roundup, Aaron focuses on the hardware side of things. The iPhone 4S design is old - ancient in tech years. It's time for a refresh, and the iPhone 5 (or iPhone 6, or new iPhone) needs some new goods. A bigger display is needed, 4G LTE and a bigger battery are crucial, and a thinner design would be neat. A $99 entry-level variant would be really nice as well (read: NOT the iPhone 4S at a lower price point)
