Although this week has been predominantly about the Google I/O conference, there’s been plenty of interesting iOS stories flying around this week. Whether you’re interested in seeing what Apple might have up its sleeve for 2013, or you like looking at great concepts, there’s been a mixture of everything in this week’s top stories. As always, the…
1. iOS 7 concept iOS 7 is the thing I’m most looking forward to on Apple’s horizon – even more than the iPhone 5S. Having to wait until WWDC is tough, but looking at iOS 7 concepts is a great way to pass the time. This latest concept incorporates the “flat” design that Johny Ive is rumored to be embracing, but takes it one step further by offering the…
I’ve been kindly loaned a Galaxy S4 phone (as I’m sure you know by now), and over the past 7 days I’ve been comparing a couple of specific features of the two devices. I compared Siri with S-Voice and also gave the cameras a thorough workout. Now it’s time for the full comparison, and with news that Samsung is on track to sell 10 million S4 units in…
Nokia has recently pitted the cameras of the 5 most prominent smartphones out there right now in a lowlight camera test. Nokia pitted the iPhone 5 against the Galaxy S4, the Xperia Z, the HTC One, and its very own Nokia Lumia 925. Using the same shot each time with the same lighting and each phones automatic settings, the results are clear. The Nokia…
In case you missed it, Nokia has announced the latest in its range of Windows Phone 8 device. Bearing the now familiar Lumia moniker, the 925 retains a similar design language to its predecessors, but has swapped the bright neon colored polycarbonate to cool aluminum. With this set to be the flagship Windows device this year, I decided to see how the…
Late last week, I took delivery of a Samsung Galaxy S4. Sadly, I don’t get to keep it, but I’ve been loaned it long enough for me to get some comparison posts up for your enjoyment. On Friday, I published the S-Voice vs. Siri comparison, and today it’s all about the cameras. I was very intrigued to see how each performed with a variety of shots and in…
I managed to secure a loan unit of the Galaxy S4 to try out and see how it compares to my beloved iPhone 5. And, since I have it for a week or so, I decided to run several tests comparing how the two perform across a variety of tasks. The first: digital assistants. S-Voice is Samsung’s answer to Siri. Like the iPhone’s system it can set reminders,…
It seems these days that Samsung’s only method of marketing is to take a swipe at Apple. With the Galaxy S3, the company mocked Apple fans lining up for the iPhone outside a store. Since Sammy has proven to have its own “sheep”, it’s had to change that tact, and instead point out a load of really gimmicky features that its Galaxy S4 has that the iPhone…
There was a time when SquareTrade was known primarily for selling mobile device insurance. Now, it’s nown more for its product torture tests. In typical fashion, the company pitted the iPhone 5, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3 against each other in a series of tests, each design to replicate real-life accidents. From 4-foot drop tests, to slides on the floor…
We all have our own opinions on what we like in a phone. Each of us places a value on particular features over another. Whether it be sound quality, camera performance, battery life or size, our taste in phones is as unique as ourselves. One particular feature that’s become increasingly more important in recent years is the display. We now have phones…
