Prior to the exhibition CES 2015 left quite a bit, but now our Polish colleagues from have reviewed quite interesting Xperia E4. Consider all the main features of this device, its pluses and minuses. And to share their own experiences.

Let’s start with the appearance. Appearance Xperia E4 is markedly different from all previous decisions of Sony. Something it is similar to a budget smartphone Nokia, and is somewhat reminiscent of smartphones HTC, but in any case it is best that we have ever seen from Sony in the budget segment. The battery in the device non-removable, and the back cover, made of cheap plastic solid, very similar to the cover Nokia Lumia 630, that is, the lid acts as the whole body of the smartphone. Ahead covers the entire surface of the glass, unfortunately, is not known, Gorilla Glass is either something else.

Our colleagues were surprised at how such a compact body fit 5-inch display and a front camera of 1.9 MP, because the upper frame unit is thin enough, but the downside can be attributed too much space under the display. Xperia E4 in the future, may receive and dual sim version, which in Russia will be the most relevant. By cons include enough relative quality of the assembly, in some places when you creak device may cause a version device.

Relative to the display, the smartphone shows excellent results in its segment. Yes, 960 x 540 pixels for a 5-inch display – just a little, but, like LG, with the help of various software improvements – sharp edges, good color saturation and deep black – Sony managed to make a great display, which can be compared with display Xperia M2, located a class above.

As for the interface, it is similar to other solutions which are used in the Xperia Z4, Z4 Xperia Compact, and so on. e., in other words, you get the experience of operating system that is comparable to top-end devices. The smartphone runs on Android 4.4.4 and, according to preliminary data, will receive Android 5.0 Lollipop in the second quarter of 2015. Among the few drawbacks is worth noting a huge number of branded applications, Sony, including a variety of services such as PlayStation, Xperia Lounge, TrackID, Sociallife. And this despite the fact that the device has only 8 GB of internal memory, of which the user can use only 3.8 GB, it will be enough for 4-5 HD-movies.

With respect to the filling, the “heart” of the smartphone will be a quad-core Mediatek MT6582 processor with a clock speed of 1.3 GHz. Accelerator – Mali-400MP4, the same set of first generation Galaxy Note. Memory device of 1 GB, of which 800MB is available, and the user is only 200-300 MB. In Antutu shows decent smartphone 17,857 points, this is enough to view videos on YouTube, to “surf” the web pages, but in games like Real Racing 3, you may experience problems with smoothness.

Two chambers in the device, which is a plus for a budget device. Front Camera 5 megapixel rear, in turn, is 1.9 megapixels. Due to the fact that no E4 for mass sales, some noticeable problems in the software part. For example, in the dark you will notice a lot of noise in the daytime images do not have enough exposure, and as a result have a very dark picture.

In general, the camera does not even reach the average. It is strange that Sony, which has become popular due to the cameras, despite the budgetary system, not paying her enough attention.

Music lovers can please: smartphone has quite a pleasant sound in the headphones, the bass have not gone away, it does not cause rejection, but the sound of the external speaker raises questions: the bass is almost inaudible, and at maximum volume markedly excessive treble.

With regards to the battery, and then all is well. When scrolling through HD-video at the average level of brightness of the device is fully charged, has worked as much as 9 hours.

Note that the Lumia 535, which will be the main competitor devices, the figure is only 5 hours, most likely in the smartphone is built on a 2330mAh battery as its predecessor, Xperia E3.

After the sale of the mobile unit, Nokia devices may not issue until 2016, but the first time Microsoft was allowed to release the Nokia X, and then the guys realized – we must act.

Following the Nokia X and Nokia XL Company is the world X2, then we witness the announcement of the tablet Nokia N1, which is scheduled for the first quarter of 2015. And now, a month later, there were rumors about the development of the next device, which works on the basis of Android, apparently, Nokia has found some loophole in the agreement with Microsoft: Nokia cannot act as a producer, but can develop devices, in other words, the manufacturer of the tablet N1 and now Nokia C1 has become, most likely, Foxconn, and Nokia is acting only as a developer.

According to rumors, the smartphone will run on a processor from Intel, it is possible that in the Nokia C1 will be embedded Atom Z3560 processor, or, at best, Z3580. We see it Android version 5.0 Lollipop; as a tablet, C1 will not work on stock Android, and on the Z Launcher, which is a proprietary company. If you wish to get acquainted with the shell, you can download it in Google Play . Note launcher is in beta stage.

Nokia C1 will receive a 5-inch display, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB of built-in. Relative to the camera, the smartphone will be installed 8-megapixel rear and a 5-megapixel front camera: It is unknown whether this is Carl Zeiss lenses or own work, in any case, Nokia has always done a decent camera in your device. Unfortunately, it is unclear to what price range will be assigned the device. It is likely this will be something similar to the tablet, and we recall that N1 repeats the fate of Nexus-devices, which means “strong-cheap” (the latest generation of Nexus-devices is not affected).

Web users have submitted concepts Nokia C1, the first most realistic:

The second concept is quite old and is a concept Nokia n900, but under the name of the great and looks pretty cool, also taking into account today’s technology is quite possible to create a concave display.

In early September of this year, Motorola introduced the second generation of public Moto X, then 2 months later in the US market together with mobile operator Verizon was presented Droid Turbo, which is the international version (Droid Maxx) came out a month later – in early November of this year – but so far only in South America. What will you choose Droid Turbo vs Moto X?

Not so long ago the company went under the wing of the Chinese Lenovo. It’s a shame to see that the company, which in the past was one of the largest and most successful American producers, now being bought is one, another giant. Motorola, probably the only company that manufactures smartphones sink version of Android – except for the Nexus-devices – adding only their applications and a variety of additional features such as Ambient Display, which perfectly complement the drain firmware.

Display – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

Comparing the two devices, it should be noted that both are worthy competitors of each other. Moto X has AMOLED-display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, in turn, is embedded in the Droid Turbo already QHD-display, also on technology AMOLED. Both screens have the same characteristics and performance in various tests, but the first pixel density is inferior. Even taking into account the fact that the display is better Droid Turbo Moto X, it will not be better than its competitors, such as Note 4 or Galaxy S5. In our video review mentioned that the quality of the screen Droid Turbo and, accordingly, Moto X is not good enough – it does not show the true color and has trouble seeing the pictures on the maximum and minimum brightness. All this is due to the fact that the displays in both devices old developments that Samsung used two years ago. Therefore, in terms of the screen cannot be said that both devices are something to stand out from each other and from the competition, but because of the QHD-resolution wins in this aspect Droid Turbo or its international version of Moto Maxx.

Processor – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

Processors in the devices are also different: in the Moto X installed Snapdragon 801 processor with a clock frequency of 2.5 GHz Droid Turbo – already more modern and fast Snapdragon 805 processor with a clock frequency of 2.7 GHz. With regards to memory, here, too, there are differences: in the Moto X has only 2 gigabytes of RAM, as opposed to the 64-bit 3 gigabytes Droid Turbo. Indeed, virtually all tasks Droid Turbo on speed ahead Moto X; they are both very bright, Android devices on both “flies”, but Droid Turbo is still faster. It is worth noting, again we are talking about Android, that Moto X has already received Android 5.0 Lollipop, and that’s a plus, even if we consider that the Droid Turbo in the near future will also receive the new version.

Camera – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

The camera also has a notable difference: in both cases it shows mediocre results, but if you do not compare with devices from other manufacturers, the Moto X built a 13-megapixel camera with an aperture of f / 2.25 – indicator is not very impressive – in turn, Droid Turbo has a 21-megapixel camera with an aperture of f / 2.0. And like all good, plus everything we have different software improvements such as smart focus, support for 4K-videos feature slow-motion, etc., we also note the double flash on the Droid Turbo and a ring on the Moto X, however, even taking into account all listed, cameras in both devices averages, and all depends on the software part – Motorola programmers are not compatible with cameras, and it shows.

RAM – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

Regarding the characteristics of the Moto X is losing on all fronts, but for many users, the decisive factor is not the CPU and RAM, and design. Yes, the processor is weaker, less RAM, camera devices are equally “good”, but as for the design and materials of the case, then there is clearly wins Moto X, it is the first mass smartphone, which wrapped in leather – we are not talking about premium smartphones, such like Vertu and so on. e., – although Motorola devices fully be called mass because they do not suit many. That there is a metal frame around the body, two front stereo speakers, a beautiful ring flash – all this gives the device a certain charm.

Results – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

In turn, Droid Turbo has a design “on the fan”: it is in the style of Droid-like Device Company and only geeks and fans of Motorola. Of course, it may be noted and the materials of the case: this is Kevlar, which is used in bullet-proof vests, and nylon, which is capable of withstanding the enormous temperature, it is possible to mention the protection against moisture, but is an ordinary consumer is important to all of this? Is it important to the consumer – whether he will stand smartphone penetration in fire or water? Perhaps some important, but mainstream consumers clearly do not need it all. Consumers need quality housing that feels nice in the hand and is made of expensive materials, Kojima has Moto X. Solve anyway you because maybe you are the person who needs Kevlar, which like Droid-design, which are unimportant pleasant tactile sensation, and perhaps you’re a fan of the skin, metal, beautiful design. One cannot say which is better, but objectively speaking, subject only to the technical component; the Droid Turbo wins this battle.

Last year, Google, together with LG introduced to the public the next generation of Nexus-smartphone – Nexus 5. The smartphone has an excellent, and even now, a year later, it is still relevant and is comparable with the current wave of flagship devices. Let’s look at the entire period of the smartphone lineup of Google, which recently announced that it would stop its production.

In 2013, when he was presented Nexus 5, the market was in need of such devices. Then the reference considered Nexus 4, Galaxy S3, which beat all imaginable and unimaginable record sales, and HTC One X, which is also liked by many. Nexus 4 was the first smartphone that runs on the Android 4.2; it was completely redesigned interface that adheres to Google up to Android 4.4 KitKat. Nexus 4 then very popular among geeks, because it had considerable support firmware developers, and even now the smartphone is still relevant and recently officially received the update to Android 5.0, which is likely to be one of the last for him. There will certainly be more minor updates, but such large-scale, we hardly even see. In any case, third-party developers will not leave offended Nexus 4 for a very long time, so all owners of this device is not worth much to worry about support.

Nexus 5, as mentioned earlier, was a continuation of the line, in all respects, he was better than its predecessor, with the exception of cheaper housing materials, it should be noted that the back cover Nexus 4 is still one of the most original designs manufacturers. The device as whole characteristics was comparable to LG G2, but the most interesting issue was the price of the smartphone. At the start of the device cost about 20 thousand rubles, and then gradually began to drop the price – as is the case with all other devices – in the mid to late summer price on the Nexus 5 in retail stores dropped to 14 990 rubles, it was the least we recorded, it is, of course, the PCT-version, which in any case will always be more expensive than European counterparts. Due to the unstable behavior of the exchange rate, the price of all the techniques has increased markedly, especially touched mobile devices, today retailers offer Nexus 5 at a price of 16,990 rubles. We touched on the theme of the unit price is no accident. The thing is that after Google unveiled to the public Android 5.0, many users it came to mind, and they decided to update their devices, the only option is to just normal Nexus 5, as for the smooth operation of the system it is not inferior to 6 and Nexus Moto X 2014 is powerful enough stuffing even by today’s standards, because current flagship running on Snapdragon 801, not much faster, since 801 has quite a bit of an improved version of Snapdragon 800.

Nexus 5 is adequate diagonal display, it’s not 6 inches to use with one hand is not possible, and 5.2 inches Moto X, which is not bad, but in the current generation from Motorola failed to optimize the dimensions of the device – use it with one hand but on the brink of a foul. Among other things, Nexus 5 is not less interesting design in comparison with the current flagship, moreover, side frames device thinner than the Galaxy S5. FullHD-screen smart phone is good; Yeah, maybe it’s not as cool and technological, as in modern smartphones, but it is still an excellent, high-quality screen with a pixel density of 445 pixels per inch, which is important, since this year, most manufacturers decided to abandon the QHD-resolution diagonal and its flagships increased, hence the decrease in the density of pixels.

The sound of the speakers in the Nexus 5 raised questions among many journalists and ordinary users, it is not just average quality, and it is “so-so”. It is clear that Google is looking for a compromise – she wanted to get the highest quality at the lowest price, a kind of optimization problem posed in front of Google, it was done quite well. After all, what is important for the user? User impact is important, the quality of the screen, design, dimensions and materials – this is what catches to mind when you first use the smartphone, and the sound – it’s a very specific part. Of course, the sound quality speaks a lot about the quality of the smartphone itself, but if it is a flagship device and premium brands such as Vertu, but because Nexus 5 was not originally intended as a flagship smartphone, in fact – is a mid-priced smartphone category, but even compared to the “average”, we understand that, in most respects – is the flagship, but the flagship for the consumer.

Battery – as well as sound – one of the main problems of the smartphone: many users device in active use to work half a day, and when the screen is constantly working device must use only 3:00, and it’s on Android version 4.4. At the request of Google, devices running on Lollipop should live considerably longer for that special thank you «Project Volta», which can optimize system performance and power hungry applications. Indeed, Nexus 5 at Lollipop began to work much longer – Google squeeze all the juice out of the battery, though still not very impressive performance – all depends on the technical part, 2300mAh – a little.

As for the camera, the Nexus 5 at the time when it became available on the market, showed a very average results. Then developers with access to the update to correct the situation, and now the camera device should become an example of how to optimize the soft side and work on the part of the software, rather than on how to buy the latest invention by Sony in this area. We cannot say that the Nexus 5 makes perfect pictures, you cannot compare them with images of a higher class smartphone, and Nexus 5 takes in its price segment as it should remove the reference smartphone.

In general, the Nexus 5 is one of the most important devices in the market. Perhaps it will soon no longer be possible to meet the stores, so if you want to buy it, then now is the time to do it.

Every year, consumers spend large amounts of money to upgrade their gadgets, mostly concerning geeks and gamers, who value the highest performance of the device. In the Play Store every day there is a lot of quality games from different manufacturers, which should yield Half-Life 2, Portal, gaming company Rockstar, whose brainchild of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is not so long ago came to Android. Moreover, it is not necessary to discuss and quality of such releases, as San Andrea’s version for Android has been ported to next-generation consoles – Xbox One, Playstation 4 and had significant visual advantage over the original version. Now the computer game development can be observed a stagnation: there is no game, causing “wow effect”, so during this time in Android-smartphone has a chance to catch up a little gaming industry giants, and they have it pretty well so far. But what most deeply best Android-powered devices – disclose all potential game Android?

Best Android-powered devices – NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet

“Green” company is an authoritative person in game, it’s all respect for the progressive development of their own technologies, it would be nice to see in the future, advanced physics engine PhysX games for Android-devices. The first and rather featureless step the company has made a long time ago, with the release of the first version of the processor Tegra, but with the advent of Tegra 2 joined the company in the production of smartphones: Tegra 2 processor was the first company that supports smartphones and tablets not only, moreover, Tegra 2 was the the first dual-core processor for general use. The next generation of processors, Tegra 3, made a good impression on the audience, however, experience has shown that these processors are very fond of the battery and get very warm even in dealing with primitive tasks.

Then came the turn 4 and Tegra Tegra K1. Each new series of processors is getting better and better, and K1 is no exception, in fact, K1 is by far the most efficient processors on the market Android, and SHIELD Tablet is the first device running on a given processor. It should be noted, some users complain about the heat and not a very good relationship with the charge the battery, but it’s probably “sore” all Tegra-smartphones.

SHIELD Tablet, everything else, one of the first games was supported by Valve, he has an extensive integration with the streaming service NVIDIA, the plate installed proprietary applications company, including his own shop, where all the games are optimized for Tegra-processors. Moving on to the next device, it is worth recalling the characteristics of SHIELD. It has 2 GB of RAM, an 8-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200; processor Tegra K1 with a frequency of 2.2 GHz. SHIELD Tablet runs on stock Android and recently received the Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Best Android-powered devices – Xiaomi Mi Pad

Mi Pad – this is the first experience in the manufacture of tablets Xiaomi. Usually feelings market manufacturers produce low cost device at a low price, in order to analyze the response of consumers, but Xiaomi not the company that will deal with a similar, if release – that produce a quality product at a top price of the budgetary system. Such a policy will lead to great success Xiaomi not only in the Chinese market, but also in Europe and in Russia, including, of course, if the company will enter our market. Mi Pad is equipped with the same processor as the NVIDIA SHIELD – Nvidia K1, RAM 2 GB; the screen size is 7.9 inches, and resolution as much as 2048 x 1536. Also Mi Pad is equipped with a proprietary shell Miui V6, which was flat in the design and became largely similar to the “apple” of the system. Due to a rather demanding shell and higher resolution screen tablet less Hustler in games than its competitor – SHIELD Tablet. If you like the design features of the company, including those relating to the shell itself, the Mi Pad will suit you more, plus everything – it is much cheaper SHIELD Tablet.

Best Android-powered devices – Nexus 9

Not long ago, Google together with HTC introduced the world to its new tablet Nexus 9 who received Nexus-like design. Many say that the device has a myriad of advantages, but it is not ideal. CPU temperature, problems with the assembly, gluttony – is raising questions among users. Yes, the problem with the assembly resolved, however, by the old parties still need to get rid of, and there is no guarantee that you will fall Nexus 9 is the new parties.

With regards to performance – everything is quite as expected: the processor, you guessed it, the same Nvidia Tegra K1, which became the cause of all the minuses – except build quality – and at the same time the advantages of the device. Nexus 9 – very bright, the interface works perfectly smoothly. Other characteristics of the tablet are identical Mi Pad, except for the frequency of the processor, which is 100 MHz more. In this case, the device behaves worse games Mi Pad, oddly enough, but overall the results are almost identical and the difference is not so significant. However, too high a price, which is, and so, according to some rumors, would be even higher, will not make the tablet popular in Russia and abroad, because the “nexus” has always been famous for the low price. Now the price is all top-end devices, but people on a subconscious level happened that Nexus – it’s cheap, and buying cheap is expensive for the consumer will not.

Best Android-powered devices – Nexus 6

In this list yet found a place … smartphone with a diagonal of 6 inches. It turns out quite interesting: if before the Nexus 7 was considered a full-fledged tablet, but now it can be classified as “Phablet” and previous 7 inches plates shifted in a big way, and now we are more likely to occur 8-9 inches diagonal. The device has a 5.96-inch AMOLED-display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560, the processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 with a frequency of 2.7 GHz and 3 GB of RAM.

Best Android-powered devices – Nexus 7 (2013)

The reason for the inclusion of the tablet and then you will come to the aid of the Nexus 7 2013, which has support for Android 5.0, which is a plus. The processor is a simplified version of Snapdragon 600 RAM in the device as much as 2 gigabytes, screen resolution of 1920 x 1200. Not bad for best Android-powered devices, right?

To date, a large role in the Internet environment play a social network, they are all thematically different. Each of you has heard at least once about Google plus but few are clear on the network. Have you ever asked yourself the question: “Why do you need it, when there are Facebook, Twitter, and so on?” In this issue we will try to understand.

Google is very strict promotes Google plus but if you look at how often they update their mobile app, it seems that it was abandoned and allowed to flow, but it is not – the app from Google does not need frequent updates – why update something that works well and without complaints? Google does not forget about their social networks.

Google plus lost the right path…

Google+ is perfect for those who are very closely associated with other services Google, such as YouTube, Hangouts. And yet, in fact, Google plus – is something unlike the others. Again, if you take Facebook, we prefer to VK, if we take the Vine, then we prefer Instagram. But if you like Google plus then there is simply no alternative. And this is probably his feature.

But some people think differently – one of them is a former Google employee Chris Messina (Chris Messina). Chris left the company in August 2013. He thinks that Google+ is going in the wrong direction and its task is to direct competition with Facebook. In his opinion, would be wrong if “the future of digital identification will be in the hands of one company (assuming Facebook)”. Chris thinks that Google+ has lost his true path:

“If you look at the long term, then you will understand why this period of time is very important: the company and the applications that are gaining ground in our lives with you create their own solid ground for future development. Google – this is one of those companies that have already done so; I hope, Facebook, too. The fundamental problem that has me with Google+ – is that I just do not understand it. And the fact that I do not understand, makes me nervous and cause nervous and you.”

Agree with him or not – you decide. However, it seems to us, Google plus has taken its niche in which it feels good. And many would agree that the social network was not created to compete with Facebook or Twitter. What do you think?

No one can say with absolute certainty, but the fact that tomorrow we have to show a new version of the operating system from Google, which is the current working title for Android L, with all recognize almost Besides, everything We point out that with the new OSes we will be pleased from at least two Nexus-devices – a smartphone and the tablet, which will produce Motorola and HTC, respectively. Today launched an advertising campaign on Google, as well as not without regular leaks.

Today, the network has a total length of three videos in one minute – two to 15 seconds and one 30 seconds. They quite clearly can be seen as a tablet with an aspect ratio of about 4: 3 and smartphone stressed enormous size, which resembles the shape and the pads on the dynamics of the current design Moto X (2014) . It is very likely they may be the most two “Nexus.”

The latter correlates with the photo you posted in your twitter known evleaks , who, though retired, but still occasionally pleases us leaks. For example, shortly before the presentation it was he who showed us to design the very Moto X (2014) and he was right.

Go to last image personally I have a number of questions that give rise to some doubts about the plausibility of the total. For example, the lower part of the screen is slightly not parallel dynamics, instead of applying Hangouts hanging icon messages themselves will again redrawn (although the same Google Play updated a few days ago). Also, I am inclined to believe that such a button, as we see them in the Android Developer Preview L , will not remain. Oh yeah, I think everyone has noticed that the clock in the corner shows the time 5:00, alluding to the version of Android 5.0, however, is unlikely for someone it would be a surprise.

Returning to the promo video, in addition to the devices shown painted, we can see the slogan that ends all videos: «Be together. Not the same ». It is translated as “Be together. Not the same “, which largely determines the diversity of Android-devices. They are like all together, but at the same time very different.

Will it be the new slogan of Android and whether it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that even though the font is the same, but became fatter still unclear. Speaking of divination for promotional Kartik and fonts, it is worth noting that attract the attention of Google has launched just in time, pulling of information noise coming from the presentation of Apple, which will take place on 16 October. Do not forget to join our broadcast on this occasion, during which we will play cool prizes. Details here .

Another thing from the category of obscure – is, in fact, the presentation of the new Android and Nexus’ov. Any invitations that were sent to reporters obustraivaniya exhibition centers and other predprezentatsionnoy tinsel from Google was not. This means that if the announcement will still take place, then it will be either “quietly among friends” with onalayn-broadcast, or just a new OS will arrive on the Nexus, and new devices appear in the Google Play. Not excluded the option that will be chosen one edition, which exclusively tell you about new products, as was the case with The Verge, when they showed the Nexus 4 . immediately angry, and I will say that this year keddr.com such publication is not. Although if I was, I would do so, and said, is not it?

Presumably 9 Nexus by HTC will be available at a price of $ 399, but there is no certainty with a smartphone at all. Will it be one, whether it is big or very big – all this we will know soon WWTP.

In any case, we will promptly respond to any action on the part of Google and as quickly as possible to cover all the events. So watch out for the site, do not miss the news!

The post Android L is already very close – the new Nexus-leakage appeared first on Raqwe.

If the latest rumors are true, to the presentation of the new Nexus is still less than a week, already on October 15-16, we can see the new Google-device , and with them, of course, and the next version of Android L. What a sweet note is a grand event? Absolute certainty is still no. L Android may be the next bar of chocolate and candy, and lemon cake, and even something of which we had not previously suspected.

The new theory is based on the post by Giovanni Calabrese in Google+, which is on the order of fate is one of the designers responsible for the remarkable figures of Android, mounted in front of the Google campus in Mountain View. In this publication, Giovanni suddenly expressed his attitude to licorice (Licorice).

“I’ve never felt much sympathy for licorice, but my gosh! There are some – just great taste !!! “

Whether or not a coincidence that the man responsible for “Sweet” Android-statues, and probably has some insider information, wrote about the sweetness with a capital “Android L“?  The question, of course, rhetorical.

If you remember, recently Google, noting its 16-year anniversary, we hinted at the “Hard Candy” , adorning the top of their birthday cake. However, you should take a closer look – and you can see a number of licorice!

In the past, the name KitKat for Android 4.4 was a big surprise, most expected that once the sweetness will be Key Lime Pie (key lime pie). Are we waiting for a similar surprise this year or secret was revealed in one of the versions? Decoupling very soon!

The post The new version of the name Android L appeared first on Raqwe.

What can we expect in October? Lack of rain, warm, sunny days are, new seasons favorite TV series? Sure, yes, but most of all we are, of course, waiting for the new Nexus! Want to know when to wait for recent Google-gadgets? Rather, under the cut!

Several sources, despite the expressed earlier assumptions , indicate that the smartphone Nexus X / 6 / Shamu (underline) and tablet Nexus 9 will be presented together and expect it costs 15 or 16 of October. In particular, this says Androidauthority.

Apart from them, Wall Street Journal was able to talk with the “three people familiar with the situation”, which also confirmed that the Nexus-smartphone should appear later this month.

Unfortunately, the parties have not told WSJ much about the upcoming device, but suggested that Google may want to take a step towards the large market of smartphones, “not to repeat the mistake that Apple committed over the past few years.”

But given the fact that the Nexus had not focused on the mass market , it is unlikely the real motivation of Google. “Google Phone” always really had only one goal – to show that it can “clean” Android. Recently surfaced information about multi-tasking would come in here just in time, and who knows what other features could make “Good Corporation” to make Android-fablety comfortable.

At the same time, resource Brightsideofnews reports that Nexus 9 will be officially launched on October 15 and will go on sale on November 3. Price for the new tablet from Google and HTC, according to their information, will be $ 399.

If the information about the announcement, scheduled for October 15-16, is confirmed, it is likely, we are waiting for something like a blog post, rather than a major event with a festive atmosphere, in fact ahead of schedule in less than a week, but Google has so far do not send any invitations.

Nevertheless Nexus for us – always a treat!

The post When will the new Nexus appeared first on Raqwe.

The fifth iteration of the famous line of smartphones from Google is the epitome of a great number of advantages. Among the latter: the incredible performance of a clean version of the operating system Android, relatively compact dimensions, high-quality display, outstanding performance and adequate cost. Despite all of the above, the device is peculiar one drawback. This, as you probably already guessed, is about unsatisfactory autonomy of the device. Whatever it was, one of the reasons for this problem will be fixed in the upcoming update. What exactly does this mean? Let’s find out.

Frankly, Nexus 5 has never been famous for the outstanding duration of work without being connected to the charger. Moreover, the smartphone has demonstrated one of the weakest results among other flagships on the green robot. However, in the early spring of this year in various forums users google-phone began to appear on the new scourge, which has worsened the already weak performance.

The problem was in the process with a rather strange name «mm-qcamera-daemon», which was shown in the tab with detailed information on the consumption of the battery charge. According to our colleagues from phonearena, notorious process discharged smart about 2.5 times more active than the device’s screen.
