iPhone 4S Review

Backing up claims of a next-generation iPhone with an iPhone 4-like form factor, Macotakara claims that Apple is set to debut an iPhone 4S with an ARM Cortex-A9 and an 8 megapixel camera. The ARM Cortex-A9 is the CPU foundation for Apple’s customized A5 processor in the iPad 2. The iPad 2′s A5 is a dual-core chip, but the report is unsure if the iPhone 4S version is dual core. Sources told 9to5Mac last month that Apple is already testing an iPhone 4 with an A5 chip with high-profile game developers and it is likely that the iPhone 4S’s A5 will be dual-core.

The report also says backs up claims of an iPhone with dual-mode support for CDMA and GSM networks. This has long been expected since our discovery that the Verizon iPhone 4 carries a Qualcomm Gobi chip; a chip that supports both CDMA and GSM networks. The unique part about the report’s claim is that it says the iPhone 4S will feature an integrated SIM card system. That means the card is not user replacable. Apple was rumored to be working on an integrated SIM feature for future devices, but this claim has since been shot down.

The report also adds that a full iPhone revamp – iPhone 5 – is expected in spring 2012. This may mean that Apple has not just changed their iPhone release cycles to September; the September new iPhone thing could just be a 2011 thing. That’s great news for anyone holding out for an all-new design.

Dell Venue Pro - Rs 23,000

The Dell Company has always been ahead of all in the market of computing device. Since from the date of its entry in Mobile industry, the Company has always tried to create smart, innovative and something we can say different kind of devices.

Dell launched two mobile phones Dell venue which runs on Android 2.2 and Dell venue pro which runs on Windows Phone 7. The phones are available in India at the price of 29000 and 35000 respectively. Dell venue pro is heavy, sleek and bulky. The Phone is very heavy and weighs 180 gm. The Phone looks very smart and expensive. Dell has no doubt paid great attention on build quality.

The phone lacks key features of Windows Phone7 but it is very fast and smooth runner. Look wise, its curved glass display is very impressive.

Specifications:

Dell venue pro is no different from other window Phone7 device. The Phone has a configuration of 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor; 512MB RAM which can be updated to 256MB. It comes in both 8GB and 16GB storage memory without including the memory on microSD slot. Other features are it has Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS, Bluetooth, HSDPA/HSUPA and FM Radio.

The screen is Amoled screen running with WVGA 800×480 resolutions. With Amoled screen do not mistake it with Samsung’s Super Amoled Screen. But I am sorry that this phones screen is not as contrast as that of Samsung’s Screen. But you will surely enjoy the display.

The Phone has 5 MP cameras with autofocus function and flash that can record video at 720p Resolution.  But I did not find the camera impressive because after 6pm if u take pictures the image comes blurred. The battery equipped in this phone is 1400mAh.

Verdict:

Even though the phone has super high build quality. But some things in the phone could have been better. Some more works were needed towards improving the camera quality; searching contacts and little problem are there on keypads. The keypads buttons are very small. On sending messages there is no draft option, so for users it just creates problem. Rest are alright and there is hands on for it from my side.
