Is It Going To Be Sensational? HTC's Dual-Core "SENSATION" On Its Way. "EVO 3D", "Incredible S" Too.5/17/2011 Well, in the world where iPhone & Galaxy S seems to be dominating, I think we need something sensational, something different. HTC, especially HTC Korea hasn't brought anything special since its flagship model - Desire(There was Desire HD but it got some issues too), and now they seem like they have decided to bring something HUGE. Sensation was formerly known as its code name, Pyramid, and it comes with Gingerbread(Android 2.3), 1.2Ghz Dual-core Snapdragon Processor, 4.3-inch Super LCD display, 8MP rear camera, front camera and Sense 3.0 interface. 1080p HD video recording is available and you can customize your own lock lock screen with clock or weather or camera widgets and icons. Although it has come with impressive innovation, it is thicker and heavier than brand new smart phones like Galaxy S2. HTC has announced that it will come out in this month and only to SKT. EVO 3D is expected to come to KT only and the release date is not announced yet. its specifications are similar to Sensation but the MP of its rear camera will be lower. However, it can take 3D photo/videos and you can watch it without 3D glasses, and you can even upload them on YouTube 3D. Incredible S is the successor of Incredible, and it will be released in May also. No carriers decided yet.

Another Gingerbread smartphone is coming! Sony Ericsson's new version of its smartphone line "XPERIA" is coming to SK Telecom exclusively in April. The previous X10 was quite laggy and disappointing, but this baby is damning hot. You can choose between Midnight Blue and Misty Silver. XPERIA Arc Midnight Blue Like its name, it has a very sexy curve and its thickness of 8.7mm makes it even sexier. Its 4.2 inch screen is bigger than that of X10 (4 inch). They have applied Mobile Bravia Engine from Sony's Bravia TV and its mirroring to big TV screen is fascinating. Also, the night shot sensor from Sony Cyber-shot "Mobile Exmor R" and f/2.4 lens are mounted, so you can take pictures at night without flash. Timescape, Sony Ericsson's original UI has been ungraded, too. Timescape was the main reason why X10 was so laggy. It is one of the most beautiful interface I've ever seen but it used too much memory. Fortunately, Timescape on Arc has got so much faster, but compared to the pure Android OS, like the one on Google Nexus S, you will still feel that it's kinda laggy. 1GHz singer-core is weird but Sony Ericsson is trying to differentiate this one from other smartphones with Sony's multimedia technologies and Android 2.3 Gingerbread is preinstalled and the phone is optimized to it, so the speed you can feel won't be that different. And, its body is sexier than many chunky phones, so why not?
As Apple iPhone 5 is getting ready for its global launching, Samsung has decided to bring the next model of its Android smartphone line of Galaxy S, Galaxy S 2 to South Korea in last April. This time, the scale has become bigger. It is coming by the three mobile carriers - SK Telecom, KT, and LG U+. Samsung Galaxy S 2 powered by Google Android Its Android OS version will be 2.3, Gingerbread and its display is known as "4.27-inch Super AMOLED Plus". I wasn't a big fan of Galaxy S but its Super AMOLED screen was absolutely stunning. Now it's coming with "Plus", so I can't wait to see this bright sexy thing. Also, the device has got thinner than the previous model by 1.4mm and 8.49mm is one of the slimmest smartphones. Samsung and SKT had a close relation but it got broken when SKT also decided to bring iPhone 4. Now, iPhone 4 is coming by both SKT & KT and SKT won't support Galaxy S as much as they used to. I am pretty sure that Samsung has enough cash to advertise Galaxy S 2 on TV or everywhere but with less help of SKT, the biggest mobile carrier in Korea, I don't know how many device activation Samsung will get. The activation number of the previous Galaxy S in South Korea is 2.8 million so far. Motorola's Atrix is still on fire in the states, and its next target is going to be South Korea. The Android-based smartphone was revealed at CES 2011 in Las Vegas and won the "Best Smartphone" award. Its laptop dock carries a 11.6-inch screen and a full keyboard. If you mount the "brain", Atrix with it, you can use your smartphone as a laptop. Also, a multimedia dock will help you connect Atrix to your TV with a HDMI cable. So, as they say, "In your office, you can connect Atrix to your laptop dock and use it for business purpose, and at home, you can enjoy your entertainment contents in your Atrix with your wide LED TV. Especially, Motorola's Webtop application will offer a brand new UI which works greatly on a wider screen and you can use Firefox and Adobe Flash Player. Let me check the general technical specifications of this sexy device. 1GHz dual-core processor, 4-inch qHD (960x480), 16GB internal memory (32 to 48GB external), 1930 mAh battery, 135 grams, front and rear-facing cameras, Android 2.2 (Froyo), etc. Froyo is kinda inadequate as you can get Gingerbread smartphones already, but it still sounds sexy enough! It will get updated to 2.3 soon so don't worry about it much. The local prices of the device and its accessories are not confirmed yet. The US price of the laptop dock is USD 500 but let's hope that it won't be ridiculous here. Anyway, it is coming to both SK Telecom and KT (which sounds great), and will be available sometime in April, so if you want a dual-core smartphone which will give you a perfect mobile computing experience, I think it is worth the wait. At the end of this month, Google's reference phone of its new Android OS version known as Gingerbread, Nexus S is coming to SKT and KT customers. Nexus S is manufactured by Samsung Electronics and its the sequel of Google's pure Android smartphone - Nexus One. It uses a 'curved' 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, and has unique functions like m-VoIP (Google Voice) and NFC (short distance mobile payment system). It also has a front camera so you can make some video chats too! So, whether you are a subscriber of SKT or KT, you can get this bad boy..exciting, isn't it? |
