Difference between the Nexus S and the Apple iPhone 4

Sandip | Blog | July 4, 2011

Google and Samsung has teamed up to create the Nexus S. The most recent trend in smart phones is to produce them with larger displays, and this is true of the Nexus S. The 4 inch touch screen display has a lot to offer. The display is larger than the iPhone which makes website browsing much easier. The screen is also curved, which fits against the side of your head better, and makes it simpler to type. The iPhone screen may be smaller, but it has a higher pixel resolution of 640-by-960, offering clearer images.

When it comes to cameras, the two phones are pretty much even with one another. Both of them have a 5 megapixel camera on the back of the phone, as well as a camera on the front for video calls. There is one important difference between the two phones when it comes to this particular feature, however. The camera on the iPhone can record video at 720p, high definition. In contrast, the Nexus S can only record at DVD quality.

When it comes to the processing speed of the two phones, they once again come up fairly even with one another. Both of them offer a gigahertz of processing power. In addition to this, they offer the same amount of RAM memory, 512 megabytes. One of the things that Android phones typically have over the iPhone is the fact that the memory storage can be expanded. In this case, however, the Nexus S cannot be expanded, and only offers 16 gigabytes of built in memory storage. This is, once again, comparable to what is offered by the iPhone.

Recognizing that the iPhone and the Nexus S offer fairly similar capabilities, Google and Samsung decided to include a new technology that won’t be function for quite some time. This is known as Near Field Communication, or NFC. NFC is a new technology that will eventually allow the phone to communicate with any object or device that has an NFC chip. You will be able to use the phone as a credit card and pay for things directly.

The store for the Nexus S will also be expanded to compete with the iPhone. The Nexus One wasn’t available for testing before the initial release date. This will be changed with the release of the Nexus S. Even with a two year contract, the phone still costs two hundred dollars, so it is wise to purchase some Nexus S accessories in order to protect the phone from damage that might occur. A Nexus S case will protect the phone from damage if it is dropped, and a screen protector is a good idea as well. The phone comes with a Nexus S charger, but there will be additional chargers available.

The New Motorola Bravo

Sandip | Blog | June 24, 2011

Alongside the Samung Focus, the Motorola Flipside, and the HTC Surround, the Motorola Bravo is also one of the smart phones set to be released this November. After only a couple of weeks after it was released, the Motorola Bravo, has already gained much praise for its features by many consumers all over the US. It became available for the price of $130 when purchased with a contract after customers send in all the discounts and rebates applicable for the smart phone. The phone can also be paired with a number of accessories to help you make the most of the ultra modern technology it ships with.

Even though the Bravo was meant to be a low end smart phone, it has some really high end features and it also runs on Google’s OS platform , Android. It is also available on the AT & T network, which offers some of the best connectivity in the contiguous United States. Of course, the integration with Google Android means you will not have trouble using a variety of services attached to Google, such as Gmail, Gchat, Google Documents, and the Google Calendar.

The Motorola Bravo should not be confused with HTC’s Bravo, as the two smart phones are completely different. Between the two, the Bravo by HTC is the higher end smart phone. That still does not mean that it does not come with great features. In fact, you get a 3.7 inch touch screen display that offers 845 by 480 resolution, was well as an 800 mhz processor and a camera capable of taking pictures at 3 megapixels of resolution. Although it does not offer a lot of the capabilities like many other smart phones, the Bravo still does allow you to surf the web, listen to your favorite tracks on the go, as well as watch movies and make calls, which is what most consumers look for in a phone.

While there are lots of Motorola Bravo accessories to choose from, two that are likely to be among the most useful you can buy are Motorola Bravo batteries and a Motorola Bravo case. The battery that ships with the Motorola Bravo is strong enough to allow you a few good hours of talk time and a few good days in standby. But since the complain with all smart phones is that there is never enough battery life, it isn’t a good idea to pack an extra battery with you when going on those long trips out of town or those cross country flights for your business.

Just like all other phones, having a case on it for protection is a great idea. While few people would deliberately drop their smart phones, or any piece of technology costing that much and that small in size, accidents happen every day, and it is much cheaper in almost every case to buy a case for a smart phone ahead of time than it is to repair the smart phone if it falls onto a hard surface without a case and suffers great damage.

In summary, the Motorola Bravo will be available for about $130 this November and will offer a surprising number of features for its price. Also, you can get the most for what you pay for by investing in some accessories.

Why the Samsung Captivate is a Good Smart Phone

Sandip | Blog | June 19, 2011

The Samsung Captivate is one of the best medium priced smart phones you can buy these days in the United States. If you buy it with a contract, you can have it for just under $200. It is interesting to note that the Samsung Captivate is part of Samsung’s Galaxy S line, which means there are several different clones of what is essentially the same phone, but marketed toward different cell carriers. While the Vibrant works under the T-Mobile network, and the Fascinate and Epic 4G run with Verizon and Sprint, the Captivate works with the AT&T network. But no matter what you choose, you’re going to want to carry and use your phone everywhere. This article will describe the pros and cons of using the Samsung Captivate at school.

Perhaps the biggest pro of using the Samsung Captivate in school settings such as on a college campus is that you will have immediate access to the internet no matter where you are. In the current world that we live in, we are more connect than ever. As a result, it is important to have a way to stay in touch with the daily happenings in life, both on and offline, and a smart phone such as the Samsung Captivate is a great way to do that.

Of course, perhaps the best way to keep in touch is through desktop computers that you can find in any computer lab, or even a personal laptop. However, nothing will be the absolute portability of having a smart phone. And the fact that it’s a Samsung Captivate should make it an even better choice.

Perhaps the biggest drawback of using the Samsung Captivate at school isn’t a deficit of the phone itself but a limitation of the people who teach the classes themselves: college professors. More and more professors these days have begun to set rules in their classes restricting the degree to which cell phones and smart phones can be used.

This would not ordinarily be a problem, as cell phones have been around for a long time. However, people have begun to text more often everywhere they go, and a lot of people have begun to find it annoying, including college professors. There are many professors that have rules in their classes that if they discover you texting someone else on your smart phone, you will have to leave the class or even take a lower grade. Such rules and regulations are becoming more common across the board, and if you do not want to pay the penalty, you will either have to keep your Samsung Captivate on silent mode or keep from using it or bringing it to class at all. The choice is up to you.

Finally, in addition to considering the pros and cons of using a smart phone such as the Samsung Captivate in school, consider purchasing some Samsung Captivate accessories such as a Samsung Captivate case or a Samsung Captivate screen protector to keep your phone working well as you meander about your college campus. If you are a student, you probably don’t have too much money, and as a result, it pays to keep your phone protected.
