Huawei Ascend P6: first photos for the high-end-the number 3 worldwide

By Gabriel Manceau 14 June 2013

The Huawei Ascend P6 will be presented by the Chinese manufacturer June 18 at a London event. The opportunity for the brand to make a little tease strikes the first pictures of their next Smartphone premium model surface and at a rate which has accustomed us hopefully very attractive, such as the manufacturer.

The Huawei Ascend P6 unfolds only partially, but these first photos provide us with the excellent workmanship and the quality of the materials used. It is made of aluminum, which have apparently chosen to design the Smartphone, which is very fine and is no different than the iPhone 5 in many ways. Rather flattering if it stops to a comparison. The Terminal is called dual - SIM and should represent solid technical data.

Huawei Ascend P6

Although the presentation is in a few days, the technical features of the Huawei Ascend P6 are already leaked. We know what more or less with the high-end-the number to expect three global smartphones. Thus, we find a 4.7 inch HD (certainly of 1280 x 720 pixels) screen, a quad-core processor Huawei K3V2 clocked at 1.5 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 8 GB extend memory with a MicroSD slot, memory, an 8-megapixel camera sensor at the back and 5 megapixel camera on the front (capable of shooting in HD) and a 2000 mAh battery.

The Huawei Ascend P6 is very fine

Bluetooth 3, dual-SIM, a sensor temperature and Android jelly bean 4.2.2 complement the specifications of the phone which will have dimensions from 132.7 x 65.5 x 6.5 mm to 120 grams. If it's not one of the most impressive products of the market, finished his excellent place and choice is not full HD to a screen and memory allows "only" 8 GB certainly Huawei, to offer this model at a very attractive price. No information on this subject, but the Chinese manufacturer calls certainly under 400 euros.

HTC Samsung outclassed States of many ways in the first quarter after the Japan!

By Gabriel Manceau 13 June 2013

Thoughts as constructor Korean leader almost everywhere in the world and that its dominance was overwhelming, but HTC Samsung in sale of smartphones has struck , in the first quarter of 2013. This is the Japan that it happens and not on a global scale, but a beautiful testament to the resurgence of the form of the company is gradually recovering.

If HTC with Samsung in Japan competes, it is by popular terminals, which do not necessarily have arrived in our regions. IDC Japan Institute, it is revealed, and proves that even once the land of the rising sun follow not always the trends of other countries. If the sales figures of the two manufacturers still in the vicinity, there is the Taiwanese brand, which took place in the Korean on the Pacific island!

HTC passes from Samsung at the Japan

She might be even more surprised to learn that it fifth place is that Samsung HTC comes to the thus sixth seller of smartphones! Indeed the classification was surprisingly to the extent where you can find Apple on head with 39.6% market share followed by sharp with 14.6%, 13.3% Sony, Fujitsu with 8.3% and finally HTC takes fifth place with 6.6% market share compared to 5.8% in its direct competitor.

The Taiwanese company is therefore best in the archipelago despite fierce competition. This is very good sale, but also the HTC butterfly, thats never happened, so far from us, but whose successor as "S" version are sleep and already in preparation. It seems that all of the efforts that pay by the company in recent months at the end. What is restore a dynamic manufacturer which makes very good products.

Galaxy tab 3 7.0: first photos of grip

By Jean-Louis Petrod June 7, 2013

For those who eagerly the first photos of the Galaxy tab 3 7.0, they are finally available is website Phonearena apparently managed to obtain an initial copy of the tablet. Although little innovative problem hardware, it still offers a relatively compact and very aesthetic design.

Officially the new range of Samsung tablet in disappointed several technical characteristics sometimes summaries. So many people who complain that Samsung finally updated the design of the device. But there might be another benefit, the report quality price, Galaxy tab will get 3 7.0 in pictures below for example at a price of $199 for the 8 GB version will be proposed.

Equipped with 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and part was 1 GB RAM, the device offers a resolution of 1024 X 600 pixels. It is undoubtedly much more expensive screen full-HD-the second nexus-7 generation from those far from the. We will find also a 3 megapixel camera, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera and a storage capacity of 8 to 16 GB expandable via the addition of a micro SD card. I would like to also cameras, which offered less efficiently through the tablets than those of smartphones, but there are still limits embedded.

Handle of the Galaxy tab 3 7.0.

So, these technical features are really minimalist, by cons of this first photos of Galaxy tab 3 7.0 displaying a very effective design within the Galaxy Notes 8.0 and the Korean brand of smartphones found. Nevertheless remains a large debt, performance. So many solutions will remain for the consumer. Invest a little more too, and making the last Galaxy Notes 8.0, or wait until the release of the nexus 7, second generation, for the month of July.

The new Google interface game was Director of engineering at Google have been announced by Chris Yerga, i/o-2013. Without an exact date, the release of the new version is expected in the coming weeks. Today, the first photos of the new design on the Web are circulating.

Although the changes are highly visible, seems the new interface of Google play nothing revolutionary. The mountain views, the large is more likely to change in continuity. Callback layout, many on Android tablets, and for good reason, the horizontal format is found necessary for a Web version in fact, as we can see these images on the Internet.

First photos of the new user interface of Google game

Design is more than never cleaned, with the logo and placed the search bar above left and below the categories vertically with the code, as we know it. The rest of the page is devoted to the contents of the catalog itself and the personal recommendations depending on the application, which you already have or you have tried. Everything seems an example of ergonomics as Google has accustomed us over the updates.

This is more than a matter of days, come new Web Google play interface, although once again the France and other countries can benefit all services such as television or magazines. Meeting point wants to converge after the search giant in the vicinity of interfaces in spite of various media services. It will soon be the case for its market very popular applications.

Android: 59% of the market share in the first quarter, Apple and Microsoft far behind

By Gabriel Manceau may 10, 2013

Android market share reached 59% in the first quarter. The mobile OS from Google literally crushes the competition on the market of "intelligent terminals. 182 Million terminals equipped with the little green droid who were leaving two main competitors far behind comes in the first three months of the year 2013.

Study published by Canalys speaks of intelligent mobile devices, including laptops, smart phones and tablets for a total amount of 308.7 million expedition in this period, 59% of the market for Android. Include the fact that laptops more weight on Microsoft, but also on Apple. Nevertheless, the company Apple to 19.3% of the market and the Microsoft traps only 18.1% count Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8 RT and Windows phone 8.

Android eats the market shares of competitors

Apple loses market share for the benefit of Android for the third quarter. The Cupertino company may of the other leaders in the hyper dynamic segment which comforted shelves with 46.4% market share. Among these 308.7 million terminals 216.3 million were smartphones and 75.6% of them running Android. On the page of the manufacturer of smartphones, it's always Samsung, the dance with 26.6% of the PDM, followed by Apple with 19.3% who knows a low growth rate of 6.7% and raises the coup face competing Android manufacturer leads.

Market share in the first quarter of 2013

Apple will respond with the next iPhone on time or the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC offers full-HD 2 GB RAM, and overwhelmed processors. For its part, Microsoft knows a timid growth with its terminal Windows 8 error system which prevents the OS from how Android could through his orientation open-source license.

LG Optimus G2: the first pictures of the leakees G2

Benjamin André 5 may 2013

Images like the LG Optimus G2 might look is appearing on the Internet apparently without the consent of LG.

Evleaks would be noticed again! In fact, the Ninja of the Smartphone has put online prior to recent pictures what the LG Optimus G2 or a different model of the manufacturer LG, we have no information at the moment might look like. Arrival point called, shortly after the announcement, which could work on a new joint project, a nexus 5 so Google and LG or a LG Optimus G2.

Idem, the picture could be 4.7 inches, a speaker in the upper part, whose design is completely new for the sensor on the left side that exist on any smartphone from LG at this place a screen. Seem, this last suggestion is unlikely, but that the mechanical buttons at the bottom of the screen were replaced by the touch of two buttons on each side of the logo of LG, at least on the logo is also a touch down.

One of the images possible LG Optimus G2

Although nexus 5 certainly is more, LG Optimus G2, which should come this fall, it is more likely that this picture of the latter is, because there is the logo only on LG phones, not the Smartphone from the partnership with Google. Rounded corners are a little reminiscent Samsung Galaxy... Little information from LG about the next models still clueless about the nature of this image.

It is that fact that these pictures of the LG Optimus G2 unlock the machine of communication and marketing (if these are not already active in the shadow of these images) and it is hoped could soon new information to be filtered.

Galaxy note 3: first photo of the phone with a screen 5.99 inches and 3 GB RAM?

The first photo of the Galaxy note 3 as well as its technical characteristics could also uncovered was are. It is the Chinese MyDrivers website, a picture shows two phones, which would be the next terminal Note: Samsung's offer with a model number stamped i9500 Hello, as the international version of Galaxy-S4...

A list of specifications of the note accompanied 3 Galaxy by this image. With this phone, the Korean maker is reset to high-end segment. In fact, it resembles a 5.99 inches screen with a full HD 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, an eight core Exynos-5410, clocked at 2 GHz, 3 GB RAM. The rest of the leaf shows 32 GB memory, a MicroSD and Android 4.2.2 jelly bean card support.

Galaxy note 3 in the picture?

To restore the image, it shows a Galaxy note 2 on the right side and what would be rated 3 on the left side of the Galaxy. Then the first series had a number of model GT-N7000 and successor to GT-N7100, this reference i9500 Hi note 3 is not really make sense, because it corresponds to the international version of the S4. Once the photograph compared to other Samsung models as the new Galaxy mega 5,8 and 6,3 inch sticks not with the image.

Chinese website, which forwards these relays information display also possible as soon as mid-June, it would be much earlier, as the date she should rather to the month of September or at the IFA Berlin 2013. The Korean manufacturer models are so many and with very different sizes, it very difficult to distinguish, the models to come. All of this is just a rumor and there is certainly this alleged leak to remember the good and less good.

Facebook Home and the HTC First - what you need to know

Friday's the big day, folks. The day the new Facebook Home application and the new HTC First smartphone arrive. Or, maybe it's just Friday. That all depends on your point of view toward Facebook, your phone and this whole social sharing thing in general.

There are more than 650 million active Facebook users. One in seven people on the planet has an account with Facebook. It's no small thing. But at the same time, how close is too close? Do you really want Facebook that much more in your life? Do Facebook Home and the new HTC First make that big a difference in the way you use Facebook? Will you use it more? Will it make you want to use it less? Does it makes the experience that much better?

The answer to many of those questions are a matter of personal taste. But we've been bombarded by questions from our friends and family -- folks who don't necessarily live day in night inside the tech bubble -- and with Friday being launch day, we've put together a few answers, in layman's terms.

Unveiled on April 4 at Facebook HQ in California (we were there!), Facebook Home is separate from the Facebook application. It's actually part "launcher," which is the sort of umbrella name for your Android smartphone's home screens and app drawer, part home feed, and part messaging service.

Facebook Home works by taking the posts you'd normally see in the Facebook application and bringing them to you much sooner, and with a much more attractive design. This part is called "cover feed," and it presents your friends' posts much like a slideshow, with full-screen pictures. You can "like" and comment on those posts directly from the cover feed view, as well as zoom in on the pictures.

None of this really "takes over" your phone, as you might have read elsewhere. It just does things differently, same as any other third-party launcher, like NOVA or Action Launcher. Hold down on your profile picture at the bottom of the screen and you'll see shortcuts to take you to other applications, including the app drawer. From there, you'll be in more familiar territory, and you'll see all of your existing apps.

Another major part of Facebook Home is called "chat heads." They work with Facebook messaging and regular text messages. Get one, and your friend's head appears on screen in a little bubble. Tap it to open the conversation. The chat heads persist on top of applications, making it easier to keep the conversation going. They're cute, but can get annoying if you've got too many going on at once. They're also pretty easy to get rid of by flinging the head toward the bottom of the phone.

OK, the short version: You get a quicker and prettier (and bigger!) way to see your friends' posts. And it's a little quicker and easier to share your stuff, too. There's also some cool messaging.

First things first: This is Android only. It'll be available for free in the Google Play Store, just like any other application. Expect to see mention of it in the regular Facebook app, too. 

If you don't want to use Home, you don't have to use Home. Facebook (the app) will still work. 

And at launch, it's only (officially) available in the U.S.

Not yet. But Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg was crystal clear that we will at some point in the future.

Officially, Facebook has only said that Home is supported on the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4 and Note 2, and the HTC One X, One X+ and new HTC One. More devices will be announced "in the coming months," but it wouldn't surprise us in the least to see it either work out of the box on other recent devices, or to be hacked on with minimal effort.

Again, officially, Facebook Home runs on Android 4.x and up.

The so-called "Facebook phone" actually is the "HTC First." It's an Android smartphone on AT&T that's got all of Facebook Home on it. But because it's built into the phone's operating system itself, it's got deeper integration and better design. You won't find yourself leaping from Facebook Home to, say, Samsung's TouchWiz or HTC Sense. Instead, you'll have a more seamless experience. Notifications from other applications will come through, and won't have a separate design. 

The size of the HTC First actually is one of its selling points. At 4.3 inches, it's almost a throwback to a time when we used our phones with one hand. (Those were the days.) It's also got a 5-megapixel camera and 4G LTE data. At 2,000 mAh, the battery is on the smaller side of what you'd expect in a new phone these days.

And it comes in red, light blue, white and black.

It does! In fact, Android fans are downright salivating over the fact that the HTC First basically is a "stock" Android phone -- that is, with Google's default user interface and apps -- with the Facebook Home launcher, and that's it. It's got full access to Google Play and all the apps you're used to. 

When Facebook Home is running, you don't have traditional home screens -- just the main app drawer and a couple other pages on which to "bookmark" apps you use more often. No widgets, no folders. But you can turn off Facebook Home at any time and have a "stock" Android 4.1.2 experience, complete with widgets and folders. (And you can install another launcher if you prefer.)

It's not quite as powerful a phone as what's currently at the top of the mountain, but neither is the HTC First considered low-end. So some casual gaming should be fine. 

Unless you really, really love Facebook and really, really are willing to hand over a two-year contract for deeper Facebook Home integration, probably not. Think long and hard about that. For another $100, you can get a lot more phone. 

That said, it's real hard to get a decent 4.3-inch phone these days. This could be your best shot, if size is that much of a thing for you.

When it comes to the HTC First and Facebook Home, you might well have the opportunity to try -- at length -- before you buy. Assuming it works on your current phone (we'll just have to wait and see on Friday, once it's released), you can install Facebook Home and give it a shot. 

If it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and you've just got to have a little deeper access, go for it. If you've just got to have a 4.3-inch phone with LTE, well, here you go. Off-contract, it runs $449.99, which isn't too bad.

HTC First with Facebook Home now available on AT&T

A little over a week after its announcement at Facebook HQ, the HTC First is available to buy from AT&T. The Facebook Home-equipped handset puts the social network front and center, with Facebook's new launcher bringing your news feed (and neat little features like chat heads) directly onto your home screen.

The HTC First will set you back $99.99 on a standard two-year contract, or $449.99 if you're buying it outright. All four color options -- black, white, red and pale blue -- are available over on AT&T's site.

Incidentally, we're not yet seeing Facebook Home on the Google Play Store, but that's also due to launch today alongside the Facephone. We'll continue watching throughout the day and keep you posted.

From the Editor's Desk: We're going to Facebook - but first, a few questions

Niin me olla Facebook HQ torstaiaamuna selvittää noin sen "New home Mobile." Olen nähnyt lukemattomia otsikoita (enimmäkseen uudelleenkirjoituksilla mitä todennäköisesti ovat hallinnassa vuotoja) täynnä mahdollisia vastauksia siitä, mitä näemme torstaiaamuna.

Me olla siellä, tietenkin, Check it out. Liveblogs ovat väistämättömiä, mutta Facebook pitäisi voida streamata se elää, jos historia toistaa.

Minulla ei ole vastausta. Mutta minulla on muutamia kysymyksiä. Ne vastataan torstaina? Tai jätämme California jälleen kysyä, "Miksi Facebook? Miksi?"

Muutamia ajatuksia tutustumisen arvoinen...

Keskeisin kysymys kaiken tämän. Mitä helvettiä on Facebook? Uusi app? "Kaksihaarainen" tai "custom" versio Android? (Ja mielestäni on melko suuri väärinkäsitys siitä, mitä tarkalleen, että tarkoittaa.) Oma Puhelin?

Ainakin saamme todennäköisesti päivitetty Facebook app. Olisin erittäin yllättynyt, jos kaikki näemme torstaina, mutta ainakin osa ennakkotapaus--Facebook on kutsunut meidät app päivitys tapahtumaa ennen. On ollut liikaa hallinnassa vuotoja--, ja suoraan sanottuna niin paljon enemmän kutsuu lähetti--vain paremman app. jotain suurempaa on tulossa.

Taitaa TechCrunch: n "Facebook Etusivu" kauha on tarkasteltava suuntaan. Veisin ainakin vähän rahaa on jonkinlainen mukautetun kantoraketti. Kutsuvat sitä "iho", jos todella haluat. Kuulemme termejä, kuten "lähentymistä", mutta kukaan ei koskaan todella sanoo, mitä se tarkoittaa. (Kuulostaa hyvältä, kuitenkin, eikö?) Mutta sekä itse herää jälleen kysymys: Miten Facebook tekee sen tällä kertaa? Se oli puoli-assed HTC ChaCha ja sen keyboardless serkku, Salsa, 2011.

En ole vetoa off--Google-varaus käyttävä elimistö, joka on kuin Amazon on tehnyt. Tämä on, mitä ihmiset yleensä ajattelevat kun puhutaan "kaksihaarainen" Android. Ensinnäkin on apps-ongelma - ja se on aika iso ongelma. Ei ole pääsyä Google Play-palveluille tarkoitetaan kovempi (mutta ei mahdotonta) valtavirran sovellusten lataaminen. Ellei on jonkinlainen yhteistyössä Amazon ja sen Appstore (ja on selvää, en usko, että näin olisi), sinun olisi lähinnä tyhmä, Facebook-puhelimen.

Kaikki merkit viittaa jonkinlainen uusi puhelin HTC yhdessä kaiken tämän.

Miksi?

Miksi kantoraketti tai ohjelman tai mitä helvettiä me aiomme kutsua sitä tarvitaan uusia laitteita? On Facebook aikoo myydä tämän laitteen? Se päätyy Best Buy rinnalla 5000 muihin puhelimiin? Amazon? Vaikka se päätyy harjoittaja kaupoissa, ei takaa, että se myy tarpeeksi, jotta se sen arvoista.

Ei pidä erehtyä, tämä on kaikki spekulointia torstaihin asti. Mutta olen täysin samaa mieltä PC Mag Dan Costa, joka sanoo yksinkertaisesti, että Facebook menee laitteisto-reitti "on todella huono idea" ennen breaking it down kohta kohdalta.

En ole liian huolissaan asia "HTC on keskittyä mitä ja tehdä enemmän kuin yksi asia kerrallaan..."-argumentti. Valmistajat kehittävät paljon puhelimia kuin sinä tai koskaan nähdä. Mikä on yksi enemmän? Vaikka HTC, se ei pitäisi olla niin suuri vero resursseja, jotka muun yritys kaatuu. HTC: n ongelmia ole muualla. (Ja jos Facebook ystävät maksamme, who cares?)

Jokainen käyttää eri tavalla. Kaikki käyttävät sovellukset eri tavalla. On niitä, jotka elävät Facebook päivittäin ulos. On niitä, jotka käyttävät vain Facebook varsi ystävät. (C'mon, tiedät et sitä.) On niille, jotka käyttävät Facebook kirjautumistunnukset kaiken ja ne meistä, jotka välttämään sitä aina, kun se on mahdollista.

Facebook on ilmeisesti kuka käyttää mitä miten tai kuinka paljon he siihen tietoja. On syntynyt nykyistä kysyntää syvemmälle Facebook-integrointi idea? Vai onko ajatus kannustaa enemmän Facebook käyttö?

Vähän molempia, olen ymmärtänyt. Mutta johtaa seuraavaan kysymykseen...

Ollakseen oikeudenmukainen, luottamus on jotain pohtia kaikki näkökohdat online elämäämme. Käyttöjärjestelmistä puhelimissa, jatkamme käytämme, apps "ystäviä" julkisesti jaamme elämämme. Ja älkää erehtykö - Facebook tekee rahaa pois annat sille mittareita. Sijaintisi. "Mieleen" tavat. Klikkaat linkkejä. Näin kaikki tiedot Facebook käyttää elantonsa.

Ei ole mitään väärää, tietenkin, ja voisi helposti väittää, että Facebook on mennyt paremmin yksityisyyttä ja turvallisuutta. Mutta se ei muuta kysymys: Luotatko Facebook?

Tai ehkä sillä ei ole väliä. "Facebook phone"--ja ajatella se on luultavasti harhaanjohtava lempinimi mitä me lopulta nähdä--todella pääsevät kaikki paremmin tietoja kuin hyvä sovellus? Mahdollisuudet ovat, olen annat sille pääsy kontakteihisi jossain vaiheessa, joten voit löytää ystäviä. Ja olen lähettänyt viestejä Facebook. Käyttää Facebook Chat. Mitä eroa, jos se on vain pakattu paremmin?

Mutta se ei muuta sitä, että haluan antaa Facebook vähän minua, koska olen.

Kyynikot keskuudessamme muistella parin viime vuoden aikana Facebook app päivitykset ja pilkata. Ja hyvästä syystä. Yrityksen kuin varakkaita sekä tärkeänä osa sillä yhteyden maailmassa, Facebook on Facebook eloisa kokea pitkä on juuttui. Suoraan sanottuna se paska, ottaen huomioon mahdolliset Facebook on yritys. Ensimmäinen yritys "Facebook puhelin" ei ollut hyvä. Oletettavasti on otettu opiksi ja lopputuotteen kiinnitetään enemmän huomiota.

Olen utelias helvetin yhteydessä. Löydämme torstaiaamuna. Pysy kuulolla linkit kaikkiin meidän suorana lähetyksenä ja Facebook todennäköisesti streaming tapahtuma elää.

Toin minun Galaxy S3 henkiin tällä viikolla, ja yllättynyt kuinka paljon tuntumaa puhelimen kasvoi minua. Älä välitä olen edelleen eri mieltä painiketta järjestelmän. Se toimii. Ja se toimii paljon ihmisiä. Jos GS3-fani, pidät GS4.Emme tee April Fools päivä vitsi virkaa täällä. On vaikea tarpeeksi oikean tärkeimmät. Mutta me linkki ylös mitään siistiä että Google ja muut. Ja Google jo pois hyvä alku.OK olen vihdoin T-Mobile uusi suunnitelma rakenne. (Ei mene niin pitkälle kuin kutsua sitä "yksinkertainen", vaikka.) Mitä en antaisi oikea T-Mobile kattavuus missä asun.Fieldrunners 2: Fun.Action Launcher: mieleen uusin päivitys enemmän käytän.

Voit pelata tunkeutumisen yksin, jos haluat vaeltaa kaduilla yksin, ei koskaan saada pois auton. Tämä on, miten peliä jonkin aikaa. En suosittelisi sitä. Hypätkää Google Plus löytää tunkeutumisen yhteisön alueella. Se muuttaa tapaa, jolla pelaat ja tapaat luultavasti joitakin hienoja nörtit prosessissa.

First Sony Xperia Z firmware update hitting some devices in Europe

It seems Sony's Xperia Z is in the midsts of its first official firmware update. Xperia Z owners in Europe are reporting receiving the update to version 10.1.A.1.434 through the Sony PC companion app, however it seems the update isn't rolling out for everyone just yet, and it's not yet available directly on the device as an over-the-air update either. For our part, we haven't received any update on the unlocked UK model we've been using.

There's also no firm information on exactly what's new in this update, though there's speculation it might address the recently discovered "sleep of death" issue causing Sony Xperia Zs to randomly die. According to XDA forum reports, the latest firmware doesn't fix the slow camera start-up times we pointed out in our Xperia Z review, which is unfortunate.

If you've got an Xperia Z in Europe, be sure to hit the comments and let us know if you're seeing this latest firmware update.

Now we know exactly what's coming in the Samsung Galaxy S4, there's still time to enter our World's First Galaxy S4 Contest to win a handset of your own as soon as it's released.

How do you enter? Simply post a comment on the original contest news post (not this one!). That's it -- do that and you're automatically entered. But we'll be closing the contest soon, so get in your post while you still can. We'll be closing the contest at 11:59 PM ET on Sunday, March 17th, and we'll announce a winner the following day.

When you're done, you'll find plenty of friendly Galaxy S4 discussion over in our GS4 forum. Good luck to everyone who enters!
