In both brightness and richness, the Lumia 900 absolutely blows away the Focus S, which at the time I hailed as a beautiful Super AMOLED Plus screen in its own right. At the same levels of full and automatic brightness, the Lumia 900 shone about a full level brighter than the Focus S. Beyond the […]
Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth are standards, though sadly, the Lumia 900 ships with Bluetooth 2.1, practically antique compared with the new Bluetooth 4.0 standard we’re starting to see in mobile devices. Nokia boasts that its 8-megapixel camera on the Lumia 900 has Carl Zeiss optics, which, along with its dual-LED flash and autofocus, are meant […]
Compared to the snappers in iPhone 4S and Focus S, the picture quality is far better in terms of brightness and colour depth. The Super AMOLED display augments that in a nicer way. I was generally happy with video, which shoots at a rate of 30 frames per second, though I wish it shot in […]
Nokia does make a mark with the nice Nokia Blue color theme (it’s the Lumia 900 default) and with a suite of Marketplace apps that include Nokia Drive, Nokia Maps, Nokia Transit, and Nokia Contacts Transfer. This section also highlights partners’ third-party apps, like ESPN and CNN. It’s a shame that the Lumia 900 doesn’t […]
That being said, video streaming and apps downloads and pictures downloads and uploads on Facebook and Flickr worked seamlessly and did not create any lag in between. However, the lack of fastest speeds and camera quality do make room for HTC Titan II to capture market share with Windows Phone OS. The Titan II was […]
Samsung Electronics launched the new tablet in the 7-inch family, Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, in the same week Apple, Inc. released the new iPad 2012 model. That may be one of the reasons why the 7-incher could not attract media attention. However, given the time spent with the new device from the Koreans, I would […]
Aesthetically, the Tab 7.7 is like the cooler, slicker cousin of the Tab 7.0 Plus. It is 7.75 inches wide and 5.25 inches high. However, the most amazing part is its depth which is 0.38 inches, just 0.01 inches shy of being the same thin as its cousin. You know the one that gets invited […]
Images and video recorded with the front camera looked as if there were a deliberate film grain placed over it, and not in a cool, artsy kind of way, but more of the, “Hey, there seems to be some film grain on this video, can we please get rid of it?” variety. The back camera […]
Another thing that comes pre-installed in the device is Peel’s Smart Remote App that instantly turns the tablet into a television remote control. With an interactive screen it is one of the best apps in the whole lot. This I think is a feature to best iPad and iPhone’s ability to interact with Apple TV. […]
Navigating the interface took some getting used to, but was easy enough to pick up; however, I took issue with the method by which cable TV screen menus are controlled by the interface. Peel went with a swipe interface that requires you to flick the screen in one of four directions in order to highlight […]
Rounding out the hardware features are an ambient light sensor, gyroscope, accelerometer, and digital compass. Performance-wise, the device is the best device with a smaller footprint. The hardware works seamlessly with software and the applications launch without any lag time. There was no stutter that I could notice in the device while navigating through widget […]
The 7.7-inch screen is a charm. As mentioned earlier, it is the best screen I have ever seen in a 7-inch category and even all the larger siblings don’t enjoy the same AMOLED technology with such a grace. The resolution is the same as other 7-inchers, though, at 1,280×800 pixels. AMOLED screens are able to […]
