LG Optimus 2X

The Optimus 2X, also known as the T-Mobile G2X in the United States, will be the first dual core smartphone to make it to release. The high powered Android handset will mark a big leap forward for LG, a company which has traditionally lagged behind in the smartphone industry. The Optimus 2X comes with a gorgeous 4" capacitive touchscreen that includes multitouch input and a sharp resolution of 480 x 800.

While featuring an accelerometer for auto-rotation of the interface, now a fairly standard feature on most smartphones, the Optimus 2X will also come with a new gyro sensor. This sensor, made popular on the iPhone 4, allows for three axis controls which can be put to good use with many innovative apps and games. These apps and games can be downloaded from Android Market, which is easily accessible from LG's latest handset.

Aside from the dual core processor the LG Optimus 2X is pretty impressive in other areas too. While the 4" screen is ideal for viewing high quality 1080p videos, the phone's 8 megapixel camera also comes with 1080p video recording. You can also record 720p videos at a higher frame rate, and the Optimus 2X comes with an HDMI port and DLNA enabled Wi-Fi, both of which allow you to stream videos through your home TV.

The Optimus 2X also comes with YouTube and Adobe Flash support so that you can enjoy streaming videos online, as well as enjoying videos contained on the phone's 8GB storage. This is expandable with microSD cards and the Optimus 2X can support an impressive 32GB microSD. As well as the excellent 8 megapixel rear camera, the 2X also comes with a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera that can be used for making video calls on services such as Google Talk.

The Optimus 2X does not just come with a great deal of entertainment features but also has a lot of excellent messaging features present. Threaded SMS is supported, as well as various email and instant messaging clients. The 2X also comes with fantastic integration for social networks such as Facebook, so that you can easily update your status or post on someone's wall.

The Optimus 2X is an outstanding phone in all areas that count and, being the first dual core handset on offer, it should prove to be a benchmark for all future dual core smartphone. The Optimus 2X comes with an impressive array of features to keep you entertained, as well as myriad methods for keeping in touch with your most important people.

Samsung Windows Phone 'Mango' Devices Coming

There's a rumor drifting around that Samsung plans on ending support for Windows Phones by the end of 2012. That comes courtesy of a Sept. 10 Tweet from Samfirmware, which offers Samsung device reviews and ROM software, and ended up echoing across the blogosphere.

"Samsung will support Windows phone til end 2012," read the Tweet in question. A day later, a follow-up message read: "It's true about Samsung and Windows Phone. Windows Phone market is smaller than Samsung's own OS Bada."

Whether or not it's true (it certainly had enough online buzz heading into Monday morning), that Tweet collided head-on with an announcement that Samsung will release a pair of Windows Phone "Mango" devices this fall.

Microsoft's Mango update is designed to add some 500 tweaks and features to the Windows Phone platform, in a bid to reestablish some competitive momentum against the likes of Android and Apple's iPhone.

Those high-end devices include the 4G-capable Samsung Focus S, which will feature a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED (active-matrix organic LED) Plus display and 1.4GHz processor in addition to an ultra-thin 8.55-millimeter body, and the Samsung Focus Flash, with a slightly smaller 3.7-inch screen and 1.4GHz processor. Both the Focus S and Focus Flash will offer front- and rear-facing cameras. AT&T will carry both.

Windows Phone isn't Samsung's only smartphone concern, of course. The company is busy developing a mobile ecosystem based on Android, including tablets (such as the Galaxy Tab 10.1) and smartphones (the Galaxy S II). That could make the company less inclined to support Windows Phone, despite these new Mango devices, as they would compete directly against that ecosystem.

Nonetheless, there are indications (besides these two new Mango devices) that the relationship between Microsoft and Samsung remains sanguine. Rumors circulating last week suggested that Samsung is building a set of quad-core tablets, loaded with an early build of Windows 8, for Microsoft to distribute at the upcoming BUILD conference in Anaheim, Calif. The manufacturer's laptops run Windows 7. And Samsung was a partner on the original Windows Phone run.

So for me, this rumor of Samsung planning to end Windows Phone support feels a bit premature, especially when you consider that would sour what seems to be a decent relationship with Redmond. At the same time, it'll also be interesting to see whether Samsung puts its own marketing muscle behind these Windows Phone Mango devices, since they compete directly with the Galaxy franchise.

The Galaxy S2: an iPhone-4S-killer?

The received wisdom is that Apple fans will just keep buying iPhones – or indeed iAnything – even if another product is technically better, just because Apple has that reputation and credibility. The reputation that it'll work right out of the box, do exactly what you want it to do, even if you're not especially technically capable.

And the credibility that says, well, just that you're stylish, more stylish than anyone who doesn't own an iPhone. These things are both underpinned by superb design that ensures Apple phones are both user-friendly and easy on the eye.

Has the Samsung Galaxy S2 already beaten Apple at their own game, even though it's significantly older than the iPhone 4S? Samsung has sold over 10 million Galaxy S2 deals already, making it the most popular Android phone of all time. Yet even though this latest Apple phone launch has met with more disappointment than any before, iPhone 4S deals will still outperform the S2 with ease, guaranteed (1 million pre-orders were placed on the first day they became available, before it was even released).

Let's take a look at whether those sales figures will be justified.

Look and Feel

First impressions are something of a tie. The Galaxy S2 is slimmer and smaller than the iPhone 4S, and looks just as cool, but feels distinctly less robust, largely because it eschews the current high-end smartphone trend for one-piece, machined-aluminium casings in favour of a lighter but probably weaker construction.

Still, at a mere 116g in weight and a shade under 8.5mm thick, it just feels a lot niftier than the iPhone's 140g and 9.3mm. If you live the kind of active life most of us do, though, you'll probably prefer the tougher-seeming iPhone, just to avoid the risk of that sickening feeling when you drop your £400 Galaxy on the floor and bits fly off with a loud cracking noise...

One thing that will be off-putting for some iPhone fans is that the 4S looks exactly like the iPhone 4. While Android fans may drool over processor speeds and storage space, many iPhone owners love being in a position to gloat over owning the latest Apple phone. The 4S lacks this gloating power.

Apple's big boast is still ease of use, but again the Galaxy easily lives up to this standard, with the Social Hub feature allowing you to seamlessly integrate several different email accounts, social networks or other communications platforms, finally bringing a bit of order to our 21st century, over-connected, over-informed chaos.

Siri

Still, the iPhone 4S potentially scores more highly here, overall, thanks to Siri, the virtual personal assistant whose services come built in to the phone. The Galaxy may be convenient, but it's still just a phone; Siri should take convenience to a whole new level, and is the next best thing to a personal social secretary most of us will ever have.

Again, "she" will offer that classic Apple convenience, that better-than-life quality that has sold so many phones. Siri makes using your phone seem like you're not using your phone, in that you just talk to her rather than tapping the screen – and she responds by booking you a restaurant table, or telling you whether it's cold enough outside that you'll need a coat.

…or so Apple Claim

This is provided that Siri actually works like Apple claims in its marketing of course. Siri is still in beta, meaning there are probably some issues with it. Voice controls exist on the Galaxy S2, although they are not quite as well integrated or far reaching. Unless you are partially sighted or have difficulty using your fingers though, Siri (and voice control in general) could prove to be another much lauded feature that rarely gets used.

On the other hand it could prove to be as big of a technological revolution as touchscreens were a few years back. Touchscreen phones had been around for many years before the original iPhone of course, but it was the Apple device that made them the market norm. Likewise, we have already seen voice controls on phones but so far they have yet to meet with any real appreciation.

Personally I am still not convinced by it. The technology behind Siri may have evolved quite a bit the last few years, and it may even be as slick and understanding as Apple claim. Yet Siri's voice still sounds like a Texas Instruments toy from the 1980s. Voice synthesis, it seems, has not made much progress at all – even if voice recognition has. If I were to ever truly consider using voice controls on a phone, I would want something more pleasant and life-like to listen to than a female professor Hawking.

So while Siri could potentially make the iPhone 4S so much more convenient for some phone users to use, it is likely to end up like FaceTime as an overhyped feature that very few people really have any need for or desire to use.

Processing Speed

The processors on the two phones share a similar spec, both being dual-core. The Galaxy S2's is nominally a little faster, at 1.2GHz compared to the iPhone's 1GHz, but the iPhone 4S chip is the Apple A5, the same one as that found in the iPad 2, and so is tried-and-tested on a high-end multitasking multimedia device. It should be more than capable of running the iPhone.

Being released several months after the S2, the iPhone 4S could have really wowed with a 1.5GHz dual core chip or something. Yet it was unveiled to the world with a processor that doesn't even match the Galaxy in terms of speed. The point here is that most iPhone owners don't really care about processor speeds, and the iPhone 4S was merely bringing itself more into line with current technological trends.

But with the Galaxy S3 being up for release in just a few months, and some rumours suggesting a staggering quad core 1.8GHz chip in use, the iPhone 4S will most likely not have the staying power to remain up-to-date by the time the iPhone 5 / Galaxy S4 make their way to the stores this time next year.

Cameras

The two cameras, likewise, are closely comparable. Both are around the 8 Megapixel mark, though initial reports put the iPhone camera as more capable and versatile in a variety of different circumstances. On the upside, the Galaxy S2 can take USB pen drives, plugged directly into it with no need for an adaptor, for taking more snaps or holding more music than you fit on its 16GB memory.

The most expensive iPhone 4S has up to 64GB memory, so though it doesn't take a USB stick without an adaptor, you won't need on quite so soon. But with that model costing well over £1000 it is unlikely to be the most popular option, with most prospective 4S owners choosing the 16GB-with-no-option-to-upgrade model.

So, on balance, which should you go for? As a lot of people had noted on October 4th at the Apple keynote, the iPhone 4S is not drastically different to the iPhone 4 – and the Galaxy S2 was already more impressive than that a few months ago. The big difference is with Siri voice controls, a feature that the majority of people will probably not use for more than 5 minutes to see what it is about.

The iPhone range is now comparable to the Galaxy S2 in terms of processing and camera, but with the Galaxy 2S being around £100 cheaper, these days, that might make all the difference.

Microsoft's Windows Phone Needs Different Strategy: Analyst

Analyst Horace Dediu thinks Microsoft sold around 1.4 million Windows Phone units in the platform's first year of release.

As he points out, that lowballs an earlier estimate from research firm Gartner, which plugged Microsoft's total number of smartphones sold in 2011 at 1.723 million, including both Windows Phone and the now-antiquated Windows Mobile.

The more interesting (at least to me) part of Dediu's Oct. 12 posting on his Asymco Website, though, was his analysis of Microsoft's marketing strategy for Windows Phone.

"The dependence on a complex value network means that products do not reach users quickly enough and when they do the marketing message is weak, even when backed by large budgets," he wrote. "The real problem with Microsoft's approach is that it's neither viral like Android (because it has a price and a contract associated with it) nor is it focused and agile like Apple's."

In other words, he added, "it seems to suffer from the worst aspects of modularity (market lag) without benefitting from the control over the ecosystem and end user experience that differentiates it."

Microsoft has been rather upfront lately about Windows Phone's market performance, although they still regularly decline to offer any sort of hard sales data. "It was under a year ago that we launched the first Windows Phone," Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told an audience of media and executives at this year's financial analyst meeting. "We haven't sold quite as many probably as I would have hoped in the first year."

The company hopes its upcoming push, centered on the extensive "Mango" software update, will help it compete on a more equal level against Google Android and iOS. In coming months, new Windows Phones preloaded with Mango will arrive on the market from Nokia, Samsung and others. Microsoft likely hopes that this new effort will make up for the old.

Google Translate For Android Gets Upgraded “Conversation Mode”

converse2Itching to strike up a conversation with a certain foreign someone, but the language barrier is too much to overcome? Never fear, you wannabe polyglot: the latest update to the Google Translate Android app adds 12 new languages to conversation mode. Conversation mode, if you haven't seen it, is a nifty feature exclusive to the Android version of Google Translate. It takes a user's voice input, translates it into a different language, plays the translation out loud, and repeats the process in reverse. It sounds a bit cumbersome, but it works reasonably well and provides a (nearly) real-time way to converse with your foreign friends.
