Sony Ericsson Arc Features and Specification

September 30th, 2011 | Google Android, Mobile Phones, Sony Ericsson

The Sony Ericsson Arc may well be described as the best smartphone the company have made to date.  The Arc has an LED 4.2” touchscreen, the second largest touchscreen on the market today, which gives sharp and clear images and they are not over-bright.  Sony Ericsson’s Bravia image technology is excellent for streaming video.

The proportion of the wide screen used on this model is fantastic.  Films and videos play with no surrounding black lines.  The Sony Ericsson Arc is 21st century technology design at its best with the display looking great because it’s underlain so close to the glass.  All in all the appearance of the Arc, with its leaf-thin curvy back casing (giving it the name Arc), widescreen display and brilliant 8.1 megapixel camera coupled with its hi-tech performance makes the Arc one of the best of all Sony Ericsson mobile phones created.

The Arc loves media too and has an FM radio complete with RDS.  The inbuilt speakers offer excellent audio and the 3.5mm jack allows the user to use a preferred choice of headphones.  Of course no Android smartphone would be complete without the wonderful Google Maps GPS system.

The contemporary design of the Arc runs in harmony with the software.  With an ideal user interface and Timescape improvements also offers Gingerbread 2.3.  The Sony Ericsson Arc is, unlike many of its rivals, easy to use and extremely powerful.  This model also interacts well with networking sites, for example, email, and Twitter etc. and offers over 100,000 apps for download, it may well be the only smartphone you will need for a long time to come.

Samsung Mobile Phones – taking the market by storm

September 25th, 2011 | Mobile Phones, Samsung

Samsung mobile phones started life as an electronics company that originated in a district of Seoul, South Korea in the 1960s. Today Samsung is one of the leading electronic goods providers in the world. Samsung mobile phones created their first handset in 1991, and their success in the mobile phone market has continued to grow from this point. An iconic moment for the Samsung brand was when Samsung mobile phones launched the Olympic Games Phone in 2000, which was chosen to be the official handset of the Sydney Olympic Games.

By 2005, Samsung mobile phones had developed the world’s first 7-megapixel camera phone. Today, with a new generation of smartphones, they remain one of the world’s brand leaders, producing the second largest volume of smartphones in the world. Current Samsung mobile phones on the market include the extremely highly rated Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830, the Samsung Galaxy S II (at present the slimmest phone ever made) and the well received Samsung Omnia 7, highly regarded for its brilliant AMOLED touch screen.

Samsung Electronics are leading producers of LCD technology and memory chips, and Samsung mobile phones come, as you would expect, with leading technological features as the company continues to make advances in the smartphone market. The recently released Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Honeycomb technology is another highly ranked product that competes favourably with the Apple iPad 2 and other Android tablets.

LG Optimus 2X Smartphone Features

September 22nd, 2011 | Google Android, LG, Mobile Phone Reviews, Mobile Phones

LG Optimus 2X runs on Android 2.2 and sports a 4” 480 x 800 WVGA touchscreen offering brilliant display quality.   With a 1.3 mega pixel front facing camera, wi-fi, 3G connect and SD card slot in addition to the 8GB built memory as standard, the LG Optimus 2X, while definitely not budget, is nowhere near the most costly smartphone on the market.  Amongst the aforementioned, you also get a duel-core processor with 1080P video recording and DLNA streaming. 

The 8 mega pixel camera is housed around back and is supported by a single LED offering full HD video.  Below the cover, along with the 1500mAh battery, are housed the SIM and microSD slots with the option to increase the 8GB internal memory, if required.  Videos can be uploaded directly and with speed to YouTube and social networking sites. 

LG have used some customisation on the interface to give the LG Optimus 2X its own unique style but which does not interfere at all with the initial workings and speed of Android 2.2.  The touch response from the Optimus 2X is really very good and the display remains impressive and professional.  Navigation is easy and quick and moving from app to app is done at lightning speed.  Give the home button a long press and you can access recently used apps.

The exterior design of the Optimus 2X is also appealing and the device feels substantial and robust without any heaviness.  The Optimus 2X is comfortable to use and easy to store.
