Chic Shopper USA

What we present here is a rumor emerged in the last few hours and that began to spread, fairly quickly, but that, given the months that separate us from the event, must be taken with due care and with the right “detachment”. After this long introduction, let’s get straight to the point: according to what reported by a source on Weibo, HTC could be the next Google partner in the creation of two new terminals in the family Nexus.

According to the source, that would be two smartphone with 5 inch display “and 5.5” which will arrive in the course of 2016. In the past, HTC has already been an important partner for Google, since the very first Nexus, Nexus One, and the current Nexus 9 tablets were produced both by the taiwanese company. The source adds that this move could be an attempt by Google to help HTC, a producer at the time in trouble, similar to what happened in the past with LG.

Hardware, Materials and ergonomics:

Samsung Galaxy A3 2016 integrates a processor Exynos 7580 quad core Cortex-A53 from 1.5 GHz with Mali-T720. As on the previous generation we have 1.5 GB of RAM that if last year could be sufficient, in future are definitely few even though at the time it takes to run this device without major problems. Some slowdown you feel when you begin to keep open many applications. Not increase the amount of onboard memory, 16 GB, of which 10.7 GB always at our disposal, we can expand quivery microSD slot.

If there is constant within the world of evolving technology, with manufacturers that cyclically alternate in the leading role, companies that are born and die, this is the eternal battle between Apple and Samsung, resulting in 2011 due to too many similarities between Galaxy S and iPhone 3 g, both aesthetically and in terms the Touch Wiz interface.

Over the years we have seen continuous upheavals, with Apple and Samsung that constantly vie for the position of “winner” inside of a cause that seems to be without end. Remember that the most important turning point came at the end of 2015, with the consent of Samsung to provide a refund of 550 million dollars against Apple, although the South Korean manufacturer has not failed to submit a complaint to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Panasonic has announced a new version of DMC-CM1, the hybrid smartphone/camera introduced at Photokina 2014. The new model takes the name of DMC-CM10, and comes with an aesthetic apparently nearly identical to that of the predecessor (change only the lens, almost completely black instead of black and silver). 135.4 x 21.1 x 68.0 mm size, weighing in at 204 grams. The first net difference between the two models is the absence of telephone module, eliminated in CM10. It is however present 4 g connectivity (with microSIM slot), can be used to send SMS and to Exchange data (e.g. for uploading photos on cloud services). It also supports Bluetooth and WiFi dual band.

OnePlus announced for some time the start of work on versions of Hydrogen/Oxygen-based OS Android 6.0 Marshmallows and, according to statements made in November, we should now be close to the release of the first ROM devoted to OnePlus 2.

To give further proof to this feeling, we think the post posted by the same OnePlus on the popular microblogging site Weibo, which announces the start of a program of public beta testing dedicated to ROM Hydrogen OS based on Marshmallow for OnePlus 2. The requirements to participate in the tests include a willingness to install a firmware test at least twice a week, at least 30 hours a week of internet network connection, the ability to fill out a bug report and offer feedback in a timely manner. Of course it is given great weight to the fact that you have already participated in other beta tests of other products.

In recent years reports of HTC with the imaging sector of their smartphone has somehow deteriorated. Moving to the formula “Ultrapixel” with One M7 did not produce the desired results, because of the amount too low to MP, and the Toshiba sensor mounted on One M9couldn’t convince through. Things seem to have gone through a major change of direction in recent times, with the launch of the new “hero product”, the midrange “super premium” One A9. We noticed a bit everyone, including DxOMark, which recently published its detailed analysis.

In the end, the score from the camera of the device was on 78 points, on par with the Nexus 6Google/Motorola. The characteristic emerged in particular are the good performance in any condition, without losses (or spikes, it is clear). A reliable behavior with no surprises, in short, that do not run the risk of disappointing expectations.

One of the pitfalls of device Sony is that they are a little hostile to the modding world.

The community of modders tweakers and passionate about these devices, however, has always managed to find a way to bypass the protection of Sony and restore all the software functionality lost. Well, you’ll be glad to know that it happened with the latest flagship range 25, which includes Xperia Z5, Z5 Compact Xperia and Xperia Z5 Premium.
