Sony Xperia Z VS HTC One- Head To Head Battle

These are just the early months of the year 2013. And as we all are aware that these early months of 2013 have been one of the hottest months in the smartphone market. As a matter of fact, we have already seen a lot of flagships from all the best manufacturers of Android (to be specific). And apart from Android, we have also seen a great hit from RIM, the Blackberry Z10.

However, today, we have compared one of the two major Android devices, the HTC One and the Sony Xperia Z. Which means that after reading the script further, you will be discovering that which device is better – Sony Xperia Z or the HTC One.

Sony Xperia Z vs HTC One

1. Processor

We will first be looking at the processor of the HTC One and the Sony Xperia Z. The HTC One has an impressive 1.7 GHz processor with 4 cores (quad-core), and this type of processor will indeed give you fast and accurate user experience. On the other hand, the Sony Xperia Z has a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor which will also provide its user fast and fluent user experience. So the thing is that the Sony Xperia Z is only slightly behind the HTC One over here, however, it is also worth adding that Sony Xperia Z can’t be criticized on this point.

2. RAM

Now let us come to the ram of these devices – the HTC One has a RAM of 2GB and same is the case with the Sony Xperia Z as it also encloses a 2 GB RAM behind its aluminium covers.

3. Screen Size and Pixel Density

Up till now, the HTC One is one step ahead of the Sony Xperia Z however; there will be a few ups and downs in the lead over here. The screen size of the HTC One is 4.7 inch and the screen size of the Xperia Z is 5 inch. This means that the Sony Xperia Z has drawn the lead gained by HTC One lately. But, here comes the sad part again for the Sony Xperia Z lovers because the Pixel density of the HTC One (469ppi) is greater than the pixel density of the Sony Xperia Z (441ppi). So as a footnote to this field, I would like to add that the HTC One is again on a 1-0 lead from the Xperia Z.

4. Camera

Now here comes one of the most (perhaps) awaited part of the comparison because Camera battles between smartphones are hot off the press these days. So coming back to the point now – the HTC One has a 4 MP rear facing camera and the Sony Xperia Z has a 13.1 Mega Pixel rear-facing Camera, so it can now be said that the Sony Xperia Z has again cancelled out the lead of the HTC One.

5. Internal Memory

Although the competition is at the moment at an equal stage but internal memory will somewhat change it. The Xperia Z has 16 GB version available only where as the HTC One is again getting the lead by having a choice of 32 GB and 64 GB version.

Results

This was a tough comparison, Both the smartphones were good and have different plus points. However both of them have some limitations too, The phrase Nobody is perfect applies here, Now you have to choose which one suits you more, Some people will go for Xperia Z while some will be happy with HTC One, No matter what device you choose, The thing which matters is that you are fully satisfied with it. By posting comparisions, We only intend to point out the advantages and disadvantages of the devices. So I don't think picking a winner is important.

Just to make things simple, I'm again pointing out some of the best and worst features of these devices.

Sony Xperia Z

• 1.5GHz Quad Core, 2GB RAM
• 5 inch Display (~441ppi)
• 13.1 Megapixel Camera
• Water resistant (upto 30 minutes in 1 meter)

HTC One

• 1.7GHz Quad Core, 2GB RAM
• 4.7 inch Display (469ppi)
• 4 Megapixel Camera

However If I have to choose any of these devices then I will definitely go for Sony Xperia Z and the reason is that it suits me and I'll be satisfied with it. Now it's your call

8 Amazing Tips To Speed Up Your Android Smartphone

Android phones are quite powerful these days, but there are still people who wish their phones were a little faster. It may be that they purchased an economy phone that does not have much process power or the phone may be outdated, or the phone may be so loaded down with apps and programs that it has slowed the phone down. Whatever the reason is, it is important to try to speed your phone up again. Here are a few ways that you may do so.

How to Speed Up Your Android Smartphone

1. Think about using a different launcher

Think about using a home alternative. There are quite a few third party launchers out there that you can use. They are an alternative to the launcher that comes with the Android. The Android home is quite complex and takes up a fair amount of memory, RAM and processor power. A third party launcher offers a strip down all of these functions, so that you are just presented with a simple launching program.

2. Lower your settings on your phone

The home page (home/home screen) may often have its settings lowered to a level that requires less processor power or memory. It is like when you play PC games and you lower the graphics so that you can play the game without it getting jerky. A similar thing may be done with an Android in many cases.

3. Turn off the animations on your Android

The animations are the little things that happen whenever you do something on your Android, such as when you open a tab or an app. These animations are there for no other reason than to look pretty. People are averse to computing software working for them, without a little bit of a preamble first. This may be removed so that the animations no longer appear. You may disable the animations on the screen, and here is how you do it: 

Settings > Display > Animation. 

Doing this is both pragmatic and will improve your Android performance.

4. Disable the plugin browser 

This is another thing you can do to increase the speed of your Android. It removes yet another element that slowly sucks your processor power and memory. It is a little drag factor that you may remove. Here is how you do it: 

Open Browser > Settings > Plugins.

5. Do not use live wallpaper

It looks pretty and it makes using your Android a little more interesting, but it does have a drag factor on the performance of your Android phone. So, it is better if you do not use live wallpaper.

6. Clear out your apps every now and again

Uninstall any applications that are not used anymore (unless they cost you a lot of money). If you have apps that you use very infrequently (maybe such as a currency converter), but that was also free, you should delete it. If you need the free app then you can just download it. Removing apps will free up some memory space. Memory usage will affect your Androids performance. Imagine that your Android OS is a librarian, and the apps are books in the Library. If there are fewer books then the librarian will find your Where’s Wally books faster.

7. Replace your heavy apps with lighter ones

Your apps will take up a certain amount of processor power and memory. Some apps are far slower than others, so uninstall the applications that consume too much memory and replace them with others that have the same function but consumes less. There are apps on the android Market whose coding is not optimized which makes them run slower. Find the ones that are better-optimized (have “tighter code” if you wish to use programmer parlance). Heavy apps (ones that use lots of processor power and memory) may often be loaded with features that you never even use. You may find other apps out there that do less and yet still have all the features you need.

8. Remove or turn off background apps

Some of these will run without your knowledge. Which means it may be time to have a good look at what your Android is actually up to. For example, many people leave their GPS on in the background without realizing it is drinking their processor power and memory.

7 Best Finance Apps for iPad

Here are  seven apps that you should try if you have just bought  yourself an  iPad. They are better  than any of the iPhone versions  because they have larger displays, they  are easier to read  and some of them have  more functions. Some  of  them  are just  iPad apps and some are also available on the iPhone and Android. The apps are in no particular order because they each do different things.

7 Best Finance Apps for iPad

1. PowerOne Finance Calculator

This is an RPN and algebraic calculator, and is good if you work within the finance field. It can help you to work out ROI, and do various types of conversions. It allows you to calculate compound growths, profit margins, auto loans, depreciation, etc. You can also see the data as graph for better understanding.

2. Easy Books

This app is handy if you have to maintain a lot of accounts at once. If you are self-employed you may have to manage different accounts, and it is unlikely that any of them start and finish at the same time. This app can go some way to synchronizing your efforts so that you do not accidentally come up short on one of your accounts or budgets. This is an app that is good at making accounting tasks a little easier, and is great for people who do not like the Sage program.

3. PocketMoney

This is a personal financial manager app that is very easy to use. It looks great and has a fairly simple function. It has a “budget bar” panel with which you can see a visual representation of your budget. You are able to see if you are draining one of your budgets in the same way you may check a car for petrol. This is a good single-glance app, because it shows you (in one glance) just how much of your budget you have left.

4. The Wall Street Journal

This is a finance app that allows you to read the Wall Street Journal. It is a financial newspaper which is similar to the British Financial Times newspaper. This app allows you to read the paper with a very high quality display. It is not a text-to-screen job, because they have put a lot of attention into making the pages seem pleasant and readable. It also has interactive pages, slideshows, videos and pictures too.

5. Account Tracker

This is a budgeting tool that you can use to manage your expense accounts with consummate ease. It allows you to track how you are spending your money and how much of your budget you have left. It is very good for taking a quick glance at your finances every now and again. The app is very customizable so that you can change and adjust it to your specific needs. You

can set up things such as alerts that will tell you if you have overdrawn or have gone over your budget.

6. PayPal

There are a lot of apps that allow you to access your PayPal account, and as you may imagine, there is one for the iPad. The PayPal app is good for gaining access to your account so that you can check your balance, upload and withdraw money. It is also good for receiving money that is in a different currency, as you can change it right there and then. PayPal also have a very quick withdrawal time if you have a business account and are a regular user. PayPal acts as a very good intermediate, which people should use if they do not want to keep giving away their card details to websites.

7. Bloomberg for iPad

This is also an iPhone app that you can use to look at stocks and shares. The iPad version is better than the iPhone version because the interface is bigger and subsequently easier to use. It allows you to take a closer look at an awful lot of information in one go. It is good for experts and amateurs. It is also very well presented and very good at its job.

IPhone 4 Tips: 10 Things New Users Should Know

The following article is a mixture of a few things – mainly tips, tricks and some guides for those of you who just bought an iPhone 4. If you are skeptical about the reception and other potential problems the iPhone 4 might have – don’t worry – you are not alone. We are also going to share some hands-on experience regarding few potential iPhone 4 problems, so read on.

Please do take note that we are not going to discuss what’s new in iOS4 (operating system) as it has been pretty much covered elsewhere. This article is basically- what you can expect with the new iPhone 4.

1. Update All Your Applications

First things first, check for application updates. If you have lot of applications installed in your previous iPhone 3G or 3GS, chances are they will need to be updated again so that they can take advantages of the new iOS4 features and iPhone 4 capabilities. So before you start trying out your existing applications on iPhone 4, take a moment to check if they need to be updated.

2. Where’s Facetime?

This is probably one of the first thing you’d like to explore on new iPhone 4, but where’s the Facetime app? Facetime is actually not an application, in fact, it’s an option available (for now) only when you make a call via WiFi to another iPhone 4 user.

Facetime is turn off by default. To turn it on, go to Settings → Phone and turn Facetime on. Carrier activation might be required. Learn more about Facetime.

3. You’ll Need A New Wallpaper

With retina display, everything on iPhone 4 looks amazingly vibrant and high quality. The screen supports up to 960×640 pixels at 326ppi, approximately 4 times higher than the resolution in a iPhone 3Gs. In another words, it makes your current wallpaper looks weak and you’ll need to look for a higher resolution wallpapers :-)

4. Try IMovie For IPhone 4

iMovie for iPhone4 is a light version of iMovie for Mac and it’s awesome. It allows you to edit and share your recorded videos on the fly. And did we mention all videos recording with iPhone 4 are in high definition (HD)?

iMovie for iPhone 4 cost $4.99.

5. Tap To Focus Object – Video

Even the smartest gadget can use a some human touch. While video recording, you can tap on different objects on the screen to have iPhone focus on them.

6. View Widescreen While Recording

If you swap from camera mode to video mode, you’ll notice that the objects are actually getting closer. That is because video recording is done in wide screen mode. To display in wide screen while recording – double tab the screen.

7. Search Web, Wikipedia On The Fly

By swiping right on the home screen, you’ll activate Spotlight. Type in something and scroll all the way to the bottom and you’ll noticed two additional search options have been added, respectively the "Search web" and "Search wikipedia". Both search uses Safari browser.

8. Mirror, Self-Shot

iPhone 4 comes with an additional front camera. By clicking on the camera icon on the top right, the front camera is activated instead of the back. We thought this could be useful for those who want to use their iPhone as a mirror, or perhaps, it makes taking self-shots easier too!

9. The IPhone 4 Reception Problem

This is the question most people are most concerned about. To be fair, yes signal bars do dropped when gripped – they call it the Death Grip.

However, signal drop only happens in areas where receptions are weak, so it very much depends a lot on your service provider. The problem is mild, don’t get too worried about it.

10. Yellow Splotches On The Screen

Some users are reporting that they have been noticing yellow patches on the iPhone 4 screen. According to macintouch, this is just a small temporarily problem as these yellow splotches are nothing but some bonding agents for the glass that will evaporate as the device is exposed to the air. You can relax now.

Samsung reveals Galaxy Mega 5.8 and 6.3 – Supersized Smartphones

When Samsung introduced the Galaxy Note back in 2011, it was first criticized for being too big. But it’s aged rather gracefully, and since the explosion of large screen phones, it has become quite normal to carry gigantic phones like it. Samsung tasted success once again with the more powerful Galaxy Note 2in 2012, and thus the lines between small tablets and large smartphones became even more blurred. Now Samsung has gone one step further in its frenzy to launch devices and has unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 and 6.3. In case the name doesn’t make it abundantly clear, this is a supersized range of smartphones, larger than the already large Galaxy Note 2.

Now, the Galaxy Mega series isn’t going to be anywhere close to the Galaxy S4performance wise, the top end model features the same chipset on the Galaxy Nexus 10 tablet and there’s no full HD screen either. It looks like competition for previous generation devices like the Galaxy S3, and while the Galaxy Mega 6.3 could be on the expensive side, the Galaxy Mega 5.8 should be more pocket friendly. Here’s the complete specsheet:

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 Specs:

• SoC: Samsung Exynos 5 Dual
• CPU: 1.7 GHz dual core ARM Cortex A15
• GPU: Mali T604
• RAM: 1.5 GB RAM
• Storage: 8 GB/16 GB, expandable via MicroSD upto 64 GB
• Screen: 6.3 inches TFT LCD, 1280 x 720 px (233 ppi)
• Camera: 8 MP rear facing, 1.9 MP front facing camera
• Connectivity: Bluetooth v4.0, NFC, Wi-fi, MicroUSB 2.0 slot, 3G, 4G LTE
• Battery: 3200 mAh
• OS: Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2

While those specs don’t compare to the Galaxy S4 and HTC One, it has plenty horsepower to satisfy most users. A lot of software features like drama shoot, dual camera and the like on the bigger Galaxy S4 will come preloaded on the Galaxy Mega 6.3, so if you’re on a tight budget, this has more than enough features. Also included is the multi window function from the Galaxy Note 2. Even better is the fact that there’s a huge removable battery, the latest Android Jelly Bean version onboard, and some of the Air Gestures might make their way to the Mega 6.3 as well.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 Specs:

• SoC: Samsung Exynos 4 Dual
• CPU: 1.4 GHz dual core ARM Cortex A9
• GPU: Mali 400 MP
• RAM: 1.5 GB RAM
• Storage: 8 GB, expandable via MicroSD upto 64 GB
• Screen: 5.8 inches TFT LCD, 960 x 540 px (189 ppi)
• Camera: 8 MP rear facing, 1.9 MP front facing camera
• Connectivity: Bluetooth v4.0, Wi-fi, MicroUSB 2.0 slot, 3G
• Battery: 2600 mAh
• OS: Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2

Though it’s not entirely confirmed, the Galaxy Mega 5.8 could come with a last generation SoC since there’s no LTE variant and it has a lower resolution qHD screen, which translates into 189 ppi density. This means that there will be some pixelation visible since it’s a very large screen. Rest of the specs are pretty uninspiring, but it will probably do well in developing markets. Both these handsets are slated to arrive sometime during May, and no prices have been announced yet.

It’s interesting that a lot of people have started to prefer larger smartphones over the years, but with the Galaxy Mega series, Samsung seems to be pushing the boundaries and not in an entirely good way. Plus, it’s already got a large range of smartphones currently available that look pretty much the same. Deja vu, anyone?
