Motorola Shadow and Google Nexus review

If you are a mobile phone freak, you may already know about Google Nexus one phone. it was a most talked phone and released in this January. this phone made by HTC and it has a 1GHz processor. but personally i believe this phone is not a super phone, and it has couple of weaknesses in the design and the Android OS as well.
this new phone is also a Android phone which has more features and good design. it says to be Google Nexus two. but still Motorola haven't announced it officially. these are the unofficial specifications.
Motorola Shadow has a 4.3 inch huge capacitive touchscreen which supports multi-touch. the phone has a slider QWERTY keypad as well. it has 8GB internal memory and supports up to 32GB memory cards. i assume it has a 1.3GHz processor because now this processor exists.
Motorola Shadow has a 8MP camera and it supports HD video recording. also it has a built-in HDMI port to transfer HD videos.

Google Nexus S canada release by Mobilicity

Too bad, there is no info on pricing at this moment. Stay tuned for more updates.

Nexus S Successor Android 2.4 4G

Most of us know that FCC filings don’t always turn into real products, but they are often a fun source of speculation. A new Samsung device with the model number GT-i9023 has appeared on the FCC’s site with support for T-Mobile’s AWS (1700 MHz) bands. The original Nexus S had the model number GT-i9020 so this leads us to believe it could be a tweaked version of that phone.

The same model number GT-i9023 also appeared on a German blog called BestBoyz with the device running Android 2.4. We were originally told that Honeycomb would be called Android 2.4, but everyone now knows that Google went with Android 3.0. Some had said that Android 2.4 might be the version number of a future version of Android called Ice Cream (Sandwich), but little else is know about the release.

We recently learned that T-Mobile would refresh the Samsung Vibrant to support HSPA+ 21 Mbps, so it’s possible that could happen with the Nexus S as well. One of the major complaints about the Nexus S was lack of 4G network support, but we didn’t expect a successor to arrive so soon.

Chris Ziegler of Engadget also points out that a number of UK retailers are listing a “Black Silver” Nexus S, so we might see a color change as well.

What do you thin Samsung is working on? Is this an upgrade to the Nexus S with 4G? Or might T-Mobile launch this device in their stores with the TouchWiz UI?

Nexus S camera quality - review

Here is a exclusive brief review of the camera quality of nexus S As with the Galaxy S family, Samsung has used a 5-megapixel camera for the Nexus S, complete with auto-focus and an LED flash. The biggest difference is in the UI, with Gingerbread bringing a new camera control layout, which makes much more sense for everyday use. Quality is also strong, a little better than on the Galaxy S, though as ever the low-light performance with the LED flash is heavily dependent on whether you’re in the sweet spot of not-too-close, not-too-far-away. It’s actually easier to get stronger low-light shots with the flash turned off, in fact.

 Video, meanwhile, is underwhelming, being limited to 720 x 480 resolution whereas the Galaxy S manages 720p. It’s perhaps a concession to the non-expandable storage – 720p HD takes a fair chunk of memory space – but remains an obvious gap on the spec sheet. Still, the clips the Nexus S can produce are “good enough” for a phone, though you’re unlikely to be replacing your Flip camcorder with the new handset.
As with the missing 720p support, there have been complaints over the Nexus S lacking either HDMI connectivity or DLNA streaming. While some users will certainly rue their omission, we can’t say we’re particularly disappointed not to have them onboard. Although we’ve had HDMI ports on smartphones before, we’ve only ever used it a handful of times and on several occasions encountered problems with the TV we’ve connected it to anyway. Similarly, DLNA remains a niche option, with consumers uncertain on both what it is and how to use it, and it demands a compatible device (whether TV, STB or other). Neither is a deal-breaker, we’d wager, to most users.
The front-facing camera will take stills but, at VGA resolution, they’re hardly impressive. Instead it’s intended for video calls, though the glaring absence is any sort of video chat functionality baked into Gingerbread itself. Apps like Fring and Tango do take advantage of it, however, and will work over WiFi and 3G, unlike Apple’s WiFi-only Face Time. Still, we can’t see video calling on Android reaching a tipping point until Google packages the functionality in the core OS.
