NOKIA X2: NEW ANDROID SMARTPHONE FROM MICROSOFT (PART II)

DESIGN AND DISPLAY
If you compare Nokia X2 to its first generation, Nokia X, there are not many changes in design, Nokia X was beautiful, so Microsoft still wants to keep X’s design for X2. Microsoft uses high quality plastic to build X2 with many colours like white, black, green, orange – brown, red… it makes X2 more impressive and attractive. X2 has a Home button, it’s different from X. Nokia X had not Home button, so many customers complain that it’s difficult to use because they could not get back home screen easily when they want, so Microsoft adds a Home button for X2 to meet customer’s demands, so I think X2’s design is slightly better than X.

Nokia X2 has a 4.3 inches IPS LCD screen with 480 x 800 pixels (217 ppi), this screen is good enough for daily demands like viewing videos, images or playing games. Colours on X2 are warm and an IPS screen helps X2 displays well, contrast ratio is very good.

PERFORMANCE
Nokia X2 has not only a strong configuration with a CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 dual – core 1.2GHz, 1GB Ram and GPU Andreno 302 but also a good AOSP based on Android 4.3, these things help X2 runs fast, it can shift between screens smoothly, no lag. Microsoft designed a customized interface for X2, it looks like Windows Phone’s interface and you will feel comfortable when you use it. Because X2 has an Android core so I can run many Android’s apps, but you can not download apps from Google Play directly, Microsoft requires customers have to download Android’s apps from a special store. There are many popular apps on it like Skype, Facebook, Twitter… and it runs well on X2.

NOKIA X2: NEW ANDROID SMARTPHONE FROM MICROSOFT (PART I)

Are there any mistakes? Microsoft produces an Android smartphone? No , there are not any mistakes and Yes, Microsoft is producing an Android smartphone called Nokia X2 (Microsoft bought Nokia’s Device Department and can use Nokia brand name for some products).

Why Microsoft does that? The answer is very simple, there are many customers have chosen an Android smartphone because Android is easy to use and has a huge apps market, many customers have not chosen a smartphone runs Windows because there are not many apps for it. So Microsoft find out a solution, combine Android core with Windows Phone’s interface to help customers can familiarize Windows Phone’s interface and still have many apps of Android.

LUMIA 930: NEW MICROSOFT’S SMARTPHONE (PART II)

PERFORMANCE OF LUMIA 930 AND WINDOWS PHONE 8.1
Lumia 930 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU with Quad - core 2.2 GHz, 2GB Ram and 32GB storage. This is a good configuration and it provides a strong performance for Lumia 930. This smartphone can play full HD videos smoothly or you can also play hard games very easily, there are not any lags when I have played Avengers Initiative, TRON or BATTLESHIP…
Lumia 930 has a strong configuration, but another significant thing helps it run very fast is Windows Phone 8.1. There is a big difference between Windows Phone OS with Android, Android doesn’t run directly applications, it uses a process virtual machine called Dalvik to help it runs apps, so Android needs more time to solve a command of user. Windows Phone 8.1 doesn’t go that way, it runs directly all applications, so it solve and reflect a command of user very fast, its speed is so impressive. Applications being run directly also help Windows Phone 8.1 saves power, so it has a long battery life, Lumia 930 can play video or browse websites in 9 hours…
Windows Phone 8.1 has a very good personal assistant, Cortana, it looks like Apple’s Siri but I think it’s more intelligent because Microsoft integrates Bing Search Engine into Cortana, any questions will search on Bing to find out best answers, Siri has no Seach Engine to support it. Cortana also recalls user some necessary things like alarm clock, meetings, date..

CONCLUSION
Lumia 930 is an excellent phone, it has a good display, a strong performance and an useful personal assistant… it just has a weakness, there are not many apps for Windows Phone OS like Apple’s iOs or Google’s Android, Microsoft is trying to build more apps for Windows Phone and you need to wait for a time to Microsoft diversify its apps store. If you can accept this Windows Phone’s weakness, Lumia 930 is an exact choice.

LUMIA 930: NEW MICROSOFT’S SMARTPHONE (PART I)

Microsoft had acquired Nokia’s devices unit, one of the biggest phone producers in the world, and Lumia 930 is a new smartphone being released after this acquisition. Because Lumia 930 is a Microsoft’s product, so it runs newest Microsoft’s OS for mobile device, Window Phone 8.1, this point makes a difference between Lumia 930 and other famous smartphones like Apple’s iPhone runs iOS or Samsung’s Galaxy S5, HTC’s M8 and LG’s G3 run Android OS. This point make Lumia 930 better or worse than other smartphones, let’s read this review.

DISPLAY
Lumia 930 has a 5 inch OLED screen with 1920 x 1080 pixels (441 ppi), aspect ratio is 16 : 9. I think this is one of the best screens that has ever been equipped for a Lumia smartphone. Microsoft seems to focus on screen quality than Nokia. As a result, Lumia 930’s screen displays very well, it can play any videos with full HD standard, a wide screen is also a plus, makes you feel comfortable when you want to view some videos on Lumia 930. Colors are displayed sharply, bright and truly. If you are a fan of Youtube or you usually view images on smartphone, Lumia 930 is a very good option for you.

AMAZON FIRE PHONE: THE FUTURE OF SHOPPING (PART II)

WHY FIRE PHONE WILL BE THE FUTURE OF SHOPPING

There are many special things on Fire phone, but the most impressive thing is Dynamic Perspective Sensors System. This system has 4 special sensors to help customers scan many things to know its information, Amazon calls this system is Firefly. When customers press and hold a button on left – side of Fire phone, the system will be activated and users can scan QR code, barcode… on products and Fire phone will search product’s information and if you want it, you can buy it on Amazon. Firefly can also “hear” voices, sounds… from songs, videos or games to recognize what its names. This function is really useful because sometimes you hear a sound that you like it but you don’t know what is it? Just turn Firefly on and you will know its name. Amazon is so smart when they put a buying button on searching result to help customers can easily buy the songs, videos or games because Amazon knows when a person likes something, in most cases, they will buy it.

Another plus point of Fire phone is small and easy to carry, it is very important because when customers like a book, an item, a sound… they can use Fire phone to search its information, buy it if they want. The most different point between Fire phone and others is Fire phone will help customers search and buy goods easier, more convenient at anywhere and anytime the customers want. This is a revolution and it will change the ways of shopping.
