News OnePlus Two Update : OnePlus 2 First Impressions - Brings In Some Design Finesse And An Improved Camera

OnePlus 2 was launched amidst much fan fare considering it was the first virtual reality launch of a smartphone ever. The phone packs in some impressive specifications and also has prices starting from Rs 22,999 for the 16GB version. The OnePlus 2 will launch in India on August 11. So before we start talking about performance numbers, here is a quick first impressions about the latest flagship phone from OnePlus which it has already touted as ‘2016 Flagship Killer’.

Build Quality and Design :

The OnePlus 2 has redesigned the edges to some extent but the rear side makes you feel at home. The sandstone black cover, which is now easily removable, has that familiar coarse feeling. The phone has a slightly curved design on the back which helps with the grip. The edges have got a metallic treatment with champfering on the edges to give it that classy look.

On the right hand side towards the top portion, you have the power/standby and volume rocker buttons. The top edge has the 3.5mm audio jack and at the base you have the USB Type-C port in the centre surrounded by two speaker grilles – which is new. On the left hand side you have notifications notch called the Alert slider, which has a nice feedback to it. It lets you control notifications by sliding it from bottom to top.

The OnePlus 2 comes with a 5.5-inch display and at the base of it you have a fingerprint scanner. It is not a button per se, but it has a clear rounded rectangular marking. This is surrounded by two soft keys which light up when the phone is on. On the rear side, the camera is placed bang in middle with a dual LED flash unit on top and the laser autofocus system below the 13MP rear camera.

Display:

OnePlus has stuck with the 5.5-inch full HD display for the OnePlus 2 instead of going for the QuadHD display. OnePlus makes use of an IPS panel and the display looks as good as the OnePlus One. The display looked sufficiently bright although glossy. We will need to watch movies on it to check for any backlight bleeding and use it in sunlight to test its legibility in bright outdoor situations.

Chipset, RAM, Storage :
The OnePlus 2 comes with impressive internal specifications. It is powered by Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 810 SoC which has a quad-core Cortex A57 and a quad-core Cortex A53 and has the Adreno 430 GPU. This is paired with 4GB of RAM for the 64GB storage variant. The 16GB storage variant OnePlus 2 will come with 3GB of RAM. These are topline specifications, and naturally when using the review unit over a day, we did not notice any lag or slow down. Of course, we will be doing the complete real world testing of the phone.

OS, Connectivity :
Unlike the OnePlus One, the OnePlus 2 has no Cyanogen branding on its rear side. This is because, the phone comes with Android 5.1 with OnePlus’s own OxygenOS skin atop it. The OxygenOS skin looks quite similar to stock Android Lollipop design and has a few refinements, such as the frequently used apps and contact list on the left most swipe.

The OnePlus 2 supports a dual 4G nano SIM card slot which is accessible on removing the rear cover. Thanks to the slots located under the cover, you do not need a pin to remove the SIM card slots, you can just slide them using your nails. Apart from this, the phone supports Wi-fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS and so on. One omission on the connectivity front is NFC, which could have been easily paired with the fingerprint sensor to verify NFC payments. Although this is a niche market segment in India and not really relevant, globally that is not the case.

With the USB Type C connection, the OnePlus 2 will be the first phone to be selling with that connector in India.

Camera :

OnePlus 2 has really spruced up the camera department. You now get a 13MP rear camera with a pixel size of 1.3 microns. Also the camera will come with an optical image stabiliser to help you take stutter free images and videos. We will need to see if this is as impressive as the one we had seen on the LG G4. Another impressive feature on the rear camera is the laser auto-focus mechanism. This should help improve the focus acquisition speed. However, the real test of the rear camera will lie with low light photography, which is was really not impressive at all on the OnePlus One. On the front you have a 5MP camera for your selfies. The camera user interface is quite different from the one seen on OnePlus One as well.

Battery:
The OnePlus 2 comes with 3,300mAh Li-polymer non-removable battery which is a bump up from the 3,100mAh battery that was seen on the OnePlus One. Ideally, one should be able to pull of a days worth of usage on regular use, but we will need to confirm that only after reviewing the phone. Also the OnePlus 2 does not come with the Qualcomm QuickCharge feature.

Conclusion:
The OnePlus 2 has certainly got off to a good start, after Carl Pei announced the price of Rs 24,999 for the 64GB storage variant of the phone. Considering the price of Rs 31,000 was doing the rounds of online forums before the launch date, this is a welcome change. However, we will have to see how OnePlus has tackled the apparent heating issues associated with the Snapdragon 810 SoC. There are lot of new things to try out on the OnePlus 2 such as the finger print scanner, interchangeable back and home softkeys, the improved camera and so on. You will have to check back for the full review of the OnePlus 2 which we have already started working on.

News Tech Gadget Update : GoPro Shrinks The Camera Again: Hero4 Session Review

GoPro Inc., the popular maker of tiny video cameras, is making them even tinier.


How tiny? The new GoPro Hero4 Session is the size of an ice cube, about half that of previous GoPros. It can fit into the spokes of a bike, hang onto the end of a fishing pole or turn a toddler into a documentary filmmaker.

The Session goes on sale July 12, and GoPro gave me one to try over the past week. It isn’t the best-quality camera GoPro has ever made, but it’s so small and simple, I’m likely to keep using it.

Just brace for the sticker shock: $400. That’s the same price as an Apple Watch, not to mention last year’s Hero4 Silver, which has a touch screen and better picture quality.

With the Session, GoPro is going for its iPod Shuffle moment. In 2005, Apple upended its own booming music player business with the Shuffle, an iPod small enough to wear on a necklace. Its main selling point was what it lacked: no screen, no removable battery and no complex controls.

The Session is the first new design in nearly a decade for GoPro, which has an astounding 70% of the U.S. video-camera market, according to NPD. Like the Shuffle, the Session sheds features to slim down and broaden its appeal. It has no screen to view pictures, no extra buttons to change modes, no way to swap its two-hour battery.

But the refinements in the new design are, for the most part, worth the sacrifices. They go a ways toward addressing my longstanding complaint that GoPros require too much futzing.

The Session still takes full-HD video, but is pool-party ready without the waterproof housing its predecessors required. The Session’s lens is covered by a clear shield, and the USB ports for charging and swapping out memory cards are pressure sealed (safe to an undersea depth of 10 meters). The microphone drains like a human ear when you take it out of the water, so you can go from the pool to the picnic table in seconds.

The Session also cuts GoPro’s number of buttons from three to two—really just one big one you use regularly. Tap the shutter button once to power it up and start recording video, or hold it down for still shots. (A tiny digital readout next to the button gives you confirmation that it’s working.) Press the shutter again to stop recording and turn it off. This is a significant speed improvement over older GoPros and competing action cams from companies like Sony.

A few aspects of the new design did aggravate me. The 1.5-inch, 2.6-ounce cube is cute, but when all sides are equal, how can you tell which way is up? The Session can sense its orientation, and will flip its video in 180-degree increments. But it can’t rotate 90 degrees. I held it wrong initially, and took video you have to watch with your head tilted like a confused puppy.

The session holds enough power to shoot about two hours of HD video, and doesn’t waste any juice when it isn’t shooting. But the sealed battery means you must be conscientious about charging it. That takes about 90 minutes.

The big question, of course, is why you’d need a GoPro at all when you already have a smartphone. The answer is that you’re willing to stick them in places you’d never put your phone or regular camera.

I had no problem handing the Session over to a 2-year-old who, transfixed by its cute shape and blinking red light, produced incredible footage of his afternoon. Seen from the Session’s wide-angle lens, the tyke looked like a giant stomping around toy trains.

I also stuck it on the bottom of a skateboard, on a puppy and in a cocktail glass. GoPro Chief Executive Nick Woodman says he’s fond of holding it in between his teeth to document playing with his children.

Compared with other GoPros, the Session’s ruggedized, compact design made it easier to think of it as camera I can just keep in my bag. If you’ve got a pool in the backyard, it’s a no-brainer.

The Session’s design has plenty of appeal, but if you’re fussy about your cinematography, it isn’t the right choice. The image sensor GoPro put into the Session is fine, but not as good as the Hero4 Silver and Black, which can take higher-resolution shots and pick up more light in dark scenes.

The Session also requires you to be OK with filming without a screen to frame your shot. You get over this limitation when you realize the super-wide-angle lens does a remarkable job capturing whatever’s interesting. You can also use the Session’s second, smaller button to connect it to your phone via Wi-Fi to preview, download shots or change modes.

GoPro has long encouraged perspective creativity by selling an array of mounts, all of which are compatible with the Session when you clip on its included plastic frame. It has also introduced a few new ones, like a $60 glove called the Strap. GoPro has even announced plans for its own quadcopter drones and 360-degree virtual-reality rigs.

Now that the Session plots a new design direction for its cameras, GoPro’s biggest problem is that it doesn’t have an answer to what to do with all that footage. Sure, the camera comes with an editing program; it’s a bit buggy, but who even has the inclination to edit their videos anymore?

The Session ought to be smart enough to upload all your footage to the cloud as soon as you get home and plug it in, for storing and sharing those moments. Mr. Woodman says his company is working on such a cloud service. That GoPro can charge $400 for the Session without it is a testament to its quality design and powerful marketing, but it is sorely needed now.

GoPro’s marketing has always been about extreme athletes. Like Nike, I suspect the message is aspirational for most customers. Its actual base looks increasingly more like extreme parents. For them, the Session is the best camera on the market for documenting the rough and tumble of family life.

News Handset Release Update : This Might Be The Best Smartphone Camera On The Planet

If the No. 1 thing you care about in a smartphone is the camera, you'll probably want to buy an LG G4.

The new smartphone, which LG showed off for the first time on Tuesday, has the makings of a revolutionary camera.

 Warning: It's nerd stat time. The G4's 16-megapixel camera can snap photos in 0.276 seconds, and the camera app launches in just 0.6 seconds. It has a Laser autofocus. It's got a color spectrum sensor that helps the phone sense what the photo will look like before you take it. And it has a three-axis image stabilization so you can take smooth shots while driving over potholes.

Most impressively, it has an aperture of ƒ/1.8 (lower is better, since it lets in more light). The average smartphone has an aperture of ƒ/2.4. The iPhone 6 has an aperture of ƒ/2.2 and the Galaxy S6 is ƒ/1.9. Combined with an image sensor that's 40% larger than the average phone, and you've got yourself a pretty nice camera.

LG showed off some stunning photographs taken with the G4, illustrating how well the camera performed even in some of the lowest-light situations. The company says its camera takes photos that are 49% brighter than the competition.

The trouble with smartphone cameras is that they're pretty limited in the settings department. They let you adjust some items, such as the focus and flash, but that's about it.

The G4 gives you full control over the camera, as if you were using a digital SLR. Shutter speed, ISO light sensitivity and white balance are all adjustable, allowing you to take professional-grade photos (if you know what you're doing).

The phone even lets you save raw images instead of converting them to compressed JPEG files (caution: this will eat up your storage very quickly). For photographers who are more skilled than the average point-and-shoot camera user, that's a nice option for desktop photo editing.

The company didn't get cheap with the selfie camera like some other smartphone makers do. The G4 has an 8 MP front camera, and you can wave at the camera to snap a photo (no selfie stick required).

Since the camera is the G4's most outstanding feature, the smartphone lets you get to the camera app quickly: just double-click the volume down button to open the app, and click it again to snap a photo. The double click option is neat -- but it only works if the phone screen is locked.

If you're in another app or on the homescreen, you'll have to tap on the camera app. It's not a huge deal, but the Motorola Moto X, Samsung Galaxy S6 and all Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) phones have gestures and button taps that open the camera no matter what state your phone is in.

The giant 3,000 milliampere-hour battery is a nice touch too. The company says it will last you more than a day on a single charge -- which is helpful if you're constantly snapping battery-draining photos.

LG hasn't yet said how much the G4 will cost or when it will go on sale. But if you're a photographer, you should stay tuned.

LG hasn't yet said how much the G4 will cost or when it will go on sale. But if you're a photographer, you should stay tuned.

On paper LG has already beaten the Galaxy S6 camera. Still, reality can be very different from theory, so here is everything we know about the exciting LG G4 camera ahead of the phone’s launch tomorrow…

That f/1.8 Lens

It’s clear that one aspect of which the company is most proud is the G4’s main lens. Its f/1.8 aperture is currently the brightest on any smartphone and is a massive improvement on the f/2.4 lens found on the current G3 model. Perhaps more importantly it just pips Samsung’s excellent f/1.9 Galaxy S6 camera at the post- and LG is milking this for all it’s worth in the form of multiple teaser videos such as the one below, based almost entirely on the f/1.8 aperture.

In this second video below, professional photographer Colby Brown takes the G4 for a spin, being sure to mention how “Even a small difference of a F0.1 aperture becomes incredibly important”. This can only be another direct swipe at Samsung, probably timed so as to delay those considering purchasing a Galaxy S6 until after LG has had a chance to show off the G4.

This can only be another direct swipe at Samsung, probably timed so as to delay those considering purchasing a Galaxy S6 until after LG has had a chance to show off the G4.

Manual control

More important to photography enthusiasts is the welcome inclusion of manual control over shutter speed, ISO and white balance, which Brown goes on to demonstrate in a later section of the video. This includes long exposures of up to 30sec used to capture light trails, and smooth milky waterfalls.

Long exposure apps can help to achieve similar effects on other smartphones, but these often require using tricks such as combining video frames into a still image, resulting in a significant loss of resolution.

The fact that the G4 can do this with the built in app gives me hope that the camera might support Google GOOGL -0.31%’s camera2 API which would also pave the way for raw image capture, although this is not mentioned in the video.

However, it’s the automatic mode which is likely to be used most often and the quality of auto-mode snaps are what will ultimately determine the better camera for the vast majority of owners. Apple AAPL -1.77% and now Samsung are extremely good at creating a pleasing automatic snapshot and it remains to be seen how well LG can compete with the G4.

The video also suggests that the G4 offers superior ability to capture colour and that the sensor is able to recognise whether you’re shooting indoors or outside. The latter function sounds rather like regular auto white balance to me, but time will tell.

Handling and start-up time

While the Galaxy S6 boasts what is certainly one of the best smartphone cameras I have ever used, the phone’s ultra-thin, glass-coated body makes for terrible handling when taking photos. It’s incredibly fast to switch into camera mode, but you’ll be slowed down by the fact that you have to be so careful when holding the phone – there’s just nowhere to grip it.

By contrast, the G4 (barring the entry-level model) comes with a leather finish, which I imagine will be much less prone to slipping through the fingers.

The Galaxy S6 is also extremely quick when it comes to launching the camera and taking a photo. A Double-tap of the Home button brings up the camera app right away from wherever you happen to be in the user interface and can get you shots other phones will miss.

In another teaser video below, LG demonstrates the G4’s Quick Shot feature which takes a photo immediately on a double-tap of the phone’s rear button. This looks potentially quicker to get a shot, but without access to the controls and settings you would be able to reach via the camera app.



Removable Battery and Storage

Of the few disadvantages to Samsung’s otherwise almost universally acclaimed Galaxy S6, its non-removable battery and lack of SD card support perhaps stand out the most. Both of these features look like they will be supported by the G4: According to information from renowned leaker Evan Blass, the LG G4 will come with 3000mAh removable battery and the familiar microSD slot.

These features could be a boon for smartphone photographers who want to make extended use of that energy-sapping screen as well as the convenience of adding a potentially unlimited amount of storage to the phone, and may well capture the attention of those who have resisted upgrading from the Galaxy S5 in order to retain these functions. If you already have a pricey 200GB microSD card in your current phone, the G4 will give you somewhere to put it.

More Megapixels

While some speculated that the G4 might sport a 13 megapixel camera, Blass’s leaked information claims the new LG model will come with a 16 megapixel sensor, equalling the resolution of the Galaxy S6. It’s also set to retain the optical image stabilsation and laser-assisted focus of its predecessor. Selfie fans can expect a big front camera boost to 8 megapixels, up from 2.1 on the G3.

Cheaper, and yet also more expensive, than the Galaxy S6

Of course, pricing will be a major factor in how well the G4 sells and according to a report in Phone Arena the 32GB model, without the fancy leather exterior, is set to undercut its Samsung counterpart by around ten to twenty Euros. The price difference tips the other way, however, when you step up to the premium LG model which is said to cost 730 Euros (which is still less than the price of the Galaxy S6 Edge).

What questions remain?

Despite the wealth of pre-launch information, we still don’t know much about video, raw capture support or, more importantly, whether it reliably takes good photos. With any luck, these questions will be answered tomorrow, along with whether or not LG has managed to create a credible alternative to Samsung.

These early details look very promising, but the the Galaxy S6 is a very tough act to follow and it will definitely take more than just an f/1.8 lens to pull it off.

News HTC Handset Update : HTC One M9 Plus Spotted In Benchmark – Sports 5.1-Inch Quad HD Screen, 13-Megapixel Front Camera

Dutch-speaking TechTastic has spotted an HTC-made device with model number HTC 0PK71 pass through benchmark database site CompuBench. The unannounced device is believed to be the HTC One M9 Plus, which rumoured to be a version of the HTC One M9 with a Quad HD (1440 x 2560 pixels) screen. The HTC One M9 is said to sport a 1080p screen.

According to the listing, the HTC 0PK71 sports a 5.1-inch screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, which works out to a pixel density of 576 ppi. This goes against what we’ve been coming across online, claiming the HTC One M9 Plus will sport a 5.2-inch 144p screen.

The listing also reveals that the HTC One M9 Plus will not sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 64-bit octa-core processor like previously reported, but a MediaTek MT6797 CPU. The MT6797 is a 64-bit processor with eight Cortex-A53 cores and a PowerVR G6200 Rogue GPU. The MT6797 is a weaker CPU that is no match for the Snapdragon 805.

The HTC One M9 Plus may lack processing power, but it makes up for this in the camera department. According to the listing, the smartphone sports a massive 20-megapixel rear-facing camera capable of recording 4K videos. It’s front-facing camera is massive as well at 13 megapixels. Not only is it optimised for snapping selfies, it can record 4K videos as well.

The rest of the specs include 32 GB  of internal storage and 3 GB of RAM. It runs Android 5.0 (Lollipop) out of the box.

Disappointed the HTC One M9 Plus doesn’t sport the more powerful Snapdragon 810? There is a possibility that the HTC 0PK71 is meant to land in Asian markets to keep costs down. So there’s still a chance a version sporting Qualcomm’s most powerful processor to date will be available in other markets such as the UK.

News Update On Smart Phone Camers : Best Camera Smartphones To Buy: iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, Galaxy S5, LG G3, Xperia Z3, And More

With a plethora of smartphones to choose from, consumers are spoiled with loads of choices but also faced with the dilemma of which device would best suit their purpose.

A highly sought after feature of smartphones is their camera capability, especially with selfies being all the rage. If one is on the go, then it is far simpler to snap up a picture with the smartphone rather than a traditional camera. Moreover, it is not often that people lug around a point and shoot camera with them.

Thanks to cameras on smartphones, users can now click pictures whenever they want and not miss that special moment either. With camera usage being a major consideration for many users when purchasing a smartphone, we take a look at some of the best camera smartphones available: the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S5, LG G3, Sony Xperia Z3, Nokia Lumia 1020, HTC Desire Eye and Google Nexus 6.

1. iPhone 6 :

The flagship Apple smartphone is sought after by enthusiasts for its impeccable features and functionalities, and its camera packs quite a punch as well. The smartphone boasts a 8MP primary iSight camera, and the notable feature on the device is its super swift phase-detection autofocus or "focus pixels."

Apple's technology for local tone mapping is also a bonus as it helps reduce overexposure and makes the camera of the smartphone ideal for shooting pictures in daylight. The smartphone has fabulous low-light capabilities.

The primary camera is able to record 1080p videos at 60 frames per second. The iPhone 6 also supports geotagging, touch focus, smile/face detection, HDR and the ability to record images and HD videos at the same time. It can also take slow-motion videos.

The iPhone 6 also has a 1.2MP FaceTime camera that can record 720p videos at 30 frames per second.

2. iPhone 6 Plus :

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have the same camera capabilities and features. The only thing that sets the iPhone 6 Plus camera apart from its smaller sibling's is that it packs in optical image stabilization (OIS), which aids in the snapping of clear images even if the smartphone is not steady.

3. Samsung Galaxy S5 :

The Samsung Galaxy S5's camera has won accolades for its superior performance. It touts a 16MP primary camera that has a 0.3-second autofocus time, which basically means that the smartphone's phase detection autofocus lens is able to click comprehensive images in the blink of an eye.

The Galaxy S5 also supports HDR, which will let a user see what the image will be like finally prior to shooting, face/smile detection, dual shot, geotagging, touch focus, as well as the ability to capture both HD videos and images simultaneously.

Another impressive feature is the Shot & More mode, which basically lets a user snap up images and adjust them later with ease. The Selective Focus mode is also a plus as it lets users change the image focus between the foreground and background.

The Galaxy S5's camera also supports 4K video recording and houses a 2MP secondary camera.

However, the camera is unable to take good low-light images, as well as night and indoor shots.

4. LG G3  : 

The LG G3 sports a 13MP primary camera with an autofocus lens, which at first glance is reminiscent of the conventional digital cameras available currently. However, the LG G3's camera has OIS and a feature for soft light that aids selfie users in their quest for the perfect picture. The smartphone also has a feature that is quite handy: gesture shutter, which basically enables the user to click pictures by alerting the shutter via a hand gesture or motion rather than the press of a button.

The magic focus option on the LG G3 lets the lens of the camera create focal points while shooting as well. The LG G3's primary camera can record 4K videos and the smartphone supports HDR, geotagging, autofocus, panorama, dual-LED flash, face detection and OIS as well.

The smartphone also has a 2.1MP secondary camera.

While the LG G3 can take detailed pictures and good images in low-light conditions, the color accuracy of the smartphone's camera leaves a lot to be desired.

5. Sony Xperia Z3  : 

The Sony Xperia Z3 features a 20.7MP primary camera (5248 х 3936 pixels). This smartphone's camera has a 25mm lens, which ensures a wider field of view or angle. The Xperia ZR also supports ISO 12800 and is able to capture fantastic images with great detailing even in low-light conditions.

The Xperia Z3 has a sensor size of 1/2.3 inch. The camera also supports face detection, panorama, HDR, geotagging and touch focus. The Xperia Z3's camera also supports defocus of the background, giving users the ability to blur the background. One can also shoot 4K videos with the primary snapper.

The Xperia Z3 has a 2.2MP secondary camera that can take 1080p videos at 30 frames per second.

However, a bummer of the smartphone is that the long focus time taken by the shutter before one snaps up the picture can lead to some missed moments. Another drawback may be the color reproduction, which is sometimes inaccurate.

6. Google Nexus 6 : 

The Nexus 6 smartphone is said to have one of the best cameras in the business. It sports a 13MP rear-facing camera with OIS capabilities. The primary camera also has autofocus and dual-LED flash capabilities, as well as face detection, touch focus, panorama, dual recording, geotagging, HDR+ and photo sphere.

The primary camera can take 2160p videos at 30 frames per second. The Nexus 6 also has a 2MP front-facing camera for selfies with a F2.2 aperture.

7. Nokia Lumia 1020 : 

This Nokia smartphone boasts a primary camera that has a whopping 41MP and Carl Zeiss optics. The Lumia 1020's Pure View camera with its autofocus lens is quite formidable. The Lumia 1020's camera has a high resolution 3x zoom, as well as OIS. The sensor size is 1/1.5 inch.

The Lumia 1020 also boasts a back-illuminated sensor (BSI), touch focus, manual focus, AF assist beam, face detection, presets for white balance, geotagging, self-timer, panorama, ISO control, night mode and exposure compensation.

The smartphone's camera can capture natural tones and realistic images with attention to detail. The great thing about this camera is its performance in low-light conditions. The smartphone's primary camera can take 1080p videos at 30 frames per second.

The Lumia 1020 also has a 1.2MP front-facing camera.

8. HTC Desire Eye :

The HTC Desire Eye is the perfect companion for those bitten by the selfie bug. The Desire Eye boasts a 13MP front-facing camera with an extra wide 22mm equivalent lens that will ensure that not only you, but your friends too, fit in the frame. Thanks to the high resolution, selfie addicts can edit out any photo bombers and still have a high-quality image despite zooming in.

The Desire Eye also packs in a 13MP rear-facing camera with a resolution of 4208 x 3120 pixels. The camera also has autofocus, dual-LED (dual tone) flash capabilities and can take 1080p videos at 30 frames per second.

The Desire Eye's camera also supports face detection, geotagging, panorama, HDR and touch focus.

New Product Launch Update : Canon Launches PowerShot SX530 HS With 50X Zoom Lens At 356 Dollar

News Product : HTC Desire Eye Leads Race Of Best Camera For Selfies By Adding 13-MP Camera On Both Front & Back

NEW DELHI: Handset manufacturers are increasing the megapixel count on the front facing camera after the popularity of Selfie cameras in smartphones. HTC leads the race by adding a 13-MP camera on both the front and the back.

Design: The HTC Desire Eye is made up of soft plastic. It doesn’t look as premium as the flagship HTC smartphones, yet it has a nice feel. To make it look different, HTC has made it a multi-coloured phone. My review unit had white front and back with a red rim running across all sides. There is a 5.2-inch display with 1080 x 1920 pixel resolution at the front.

But what dominates the looks of this Smartphone is the camera lens and dual LED flash above the display. There is HTC branding below the display. The three capacitive keys for home, back and multitasking are a part of the display. The rear is neat with the 13-MP camera with dual flash. The nano SIM tray and memory card slot are on the left edge, while the power key, volume buttons and the dedicated camera key are on the right edge. 

Water and dust resistant: Not many smartphones today are water and dust resistant. Thankfully, the Desire Eye is. This Smartphone is IP 57 certified, which makes it water and dust resistant. This means, it can be used when wet or you can carry it while rafting or near the beach. It is water resistant up to 1 metre and the maximum time limit for staying under water is 30 minutes.

Camera: Let’s first talk about the selfie camera. The 13-MP front facing camera clearly stands out. It can be used in three different resolutions, large (4208 x 2368), medium (3154 x 1824) and small (2592 x 1472). The camera took some time to lock the focus before capturing the image. There are various settings to play around with for the front-facing camera. One can choose from various modes such as slow motion video, auto, night, HDR, portrait and backlight. The dual LED flash comes handy while capturing images at a pub or when outdoors at night. For using the front and the rear camera at the same time, HTC has added two options – crop-me-in and split capture. Here both the cameras get activated. With spilt capture, hold the phone in the landscape mode and capture a shot from each camera side-by-side. Crop-me-in only inserts a cut of the selfie image with the one captured from the rear camera. The 13-MP rear camera is a good performer.

Performance: HTC Desire Eye comes loaded with HTC Sense UI with Blink feed. It has got a 2.3-Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor with 2 GB of RAM. Of the 16 GB internal storage, only 12 GB is user accessible. Overall, the performance of this Smartphone is pleasing. Everything works smoothly, including browsing web and downloading apps. It didn’t slow even once while playing heavy graphic games.

Specifications:

• Battery: The 2400 mAh battery struggled to last a day. I had to dim the brightness to make it run for a longer duration.
• Bag it or Junk it: The best selfie camera with a good performance.
• Rating: 4/5
• Plus: Dual 13-MP camera
• Minus: Battery
• Price: Rs 38,000

New Toshiba Camera Module Lets You Refocus Snapped Pics

New laptop Corp has developed a photographic camera component that lets you redouble any aspect of a picture you have already shot. According to a review by The Asahi Shimbun, the component is really small and can be fixed in mobile phones and pills. Currently, cameras require customers to pay attention to images before launching the shutter. Although you can make significant changes to images post capturing with picture application, this technological innovation guarantees to take digital cameras and picture to an entirely different level.

This small, cube-shaped photographic camera component actions only about 1 cm square and contains 500,000 contacts. Each of these 500,000 contacts is 0.03 mm across. What's interesting here is that the component places to use the same procedure as that of the substance eye structure found in bugs.  

Each contacts in the component catches an picture that is a little bit different and the photographic camera is a "large, truth by using unique application to merge the 500,000 small images." The review elaborates that the photographic camera actions the distance to an item, based on the variations between the small images—just how cameras do in case of two contacts used to make 3D images.

The component can concentrate on things by magnifier and superimposing only those areas the images that have come out well. "Unlike traditional cameras, the new photographic camera can make images that are focused on every single aspect of the picture," the review contributes. It is even possible to record video clips using this component. The review shows that it can be used to "retain the picture of a figure in the forefront while changing the background."

Toshiba plans to commercialise the component by the end of FY 2013. It will enable smart phone producers and other companies to take up the idea soon after that. Considering how important it is for any smart phone to have reasonable photographic camera abilities, a technological innovation like this going popular is sure to work amazing things.

A similar photographic camera was revealed in July last year: Lytro allows you concentrate or redouble an picture after it has been visited. Lytro catches light data from various possible perspectives, for which it comes loaded with microlens array—a special indicator which basically places together many contacts in a small space. When the picture is considered on a screen, high-end application steps in to allow customers to set the point of concentrate. Those who examined the model of this photographic camera recognized it as a innovative moment in digital cameras.

The Lytro photographic camera is the creation of Ren Ng, who is also the Primary Professional at Lytro. He's had this concept with him since 2006 as a aspect of his Ph.D. thesis at Stanford School. It has won him the Best Doctor's Dissertation in Pc Science prize from the Organization of Processing Equipment.

LG Nexus 4 Vs Samsung Galaxy Nexus: Camera Shootout

We had a run-in with Google’s flagship smartphone today and we put it to work right away. The Nexus 4 is built by LG and follows the Galaxy Nexus very 

We had a run-in with Google’s flagship smartphone today and we put it to work right away. The Nexus 4 is built by LG and follows the Galaxy Nexus very closely in terms of design and aesthetics. We’ll have an in-depth first impressions of the phone for you very soon, but first, how about a little camera showdown against the Galaxy Nexus. The camera in the previous phone was only good if all the conditions were ideal like a bright summer’s day. Anything else and you might as well not bother taking the phone out of your pocket. The Nexus 4 on the other hand has an 8MP BSI sensor from Sony, so we can expect great things from it, especially in low light.  

We will be comparing it with other handsets like the iPhone 5, Lumia 920, etc in the future but for now, we just want to see how much of an improvement it is over its predecessor.

On Video :

We’ve shot a quick hands-on video of the LG Nexus 4, highlighting its design and build as well as a quick comparison with the Galaxy Nexus itself. We also get to see the new powerful Qualcomm SoC in action through a quick lap of NFS: Most Wanted.

In the first out door test, both cameras appear to capture very good amount of detail. However, the colours are a bit exaggerated in the Galaxy Nexus as compared the Nexus 4. Also, the depth of field is stronger in the Nexus 4 as the blue wall and shrubs in the background are more blurred out.

Our second test was indoors, under sufficient ambient lighting. Here, the BSI sensor come into play by offering a much better white balance as well as a lot more detail. The Galaxy Nexus is simply unable to capture enough detail and colours in this sort of lighting.

We finally come to our macro test. Once again, the Nexus 4 came out on top with better white balance and much better contrast. The detail is also a lot better.

There’s no word when the Nexus 4 will actually launch in India but latest rumours state a possibility of an early Jan launch. You can buy the handset right now from the gray market for approximately Rs 36,000 for the 16GB model. Stay tuned for our first impressions on the Nexus 4 coming up shortly.

The lenders leading phone—the Lumia 920—is getting a new upgrade. According to Engadget, the upgrade, known as PR1.1, is designed to fix a significant problem with the photographic camera of the cellphone where images experience from a lack of details and generally being fluffy. From the example injections though, while the fuzziness seems to have been set, there still seems to be some problems with the white balance in images. The upgrade also contains many other modifications related to balance and web surfing around, along with new functions from Ms, such as decreasing phone calls through SMS.

The Lumia 920 is priced in Singapore at S$899, which approximately results in Rs 40,750, whereas and the Lumia 820 costs S$699, which approximately results in Rs 31,700. However, one should not anticipate the costs to be the same when the gadgets come to India—the additional taxation could make the gadgets cost a bit more.

Nokia has a lot based on the success of these gadgets, and we anticipate them to launch an competitive advertising strategy prior to the discharge.

Nokia first took the parcels off its Lumia 920 at the Nokia World 2012 event in New You are able to Town. Presenting a a thermoplastic body, the Nokia Lumia 920 features in a Snapdragon S4 processer and a PureView indicator.

Polaroid To Launch Interchangeable Lens Android Camera?

At the beginning of 2012, Polaroid, declared the first Android os powered "smart camera", now there are suggestions that it is near launching an exchangeable contacts version.

To date, no other companies have launched digital cameras with exchangeable contacts that run on Android os, however both Nikon and Samsung have launched lightweight digital cameras using the os.

Having Android os on a digital camera means that a wide organize of applications can be downloadable, ranging from popular photography applications to email clients and public networking applications such as Facebook and Twitter. 

Leaked pictures display that the Polaroid digital camera looks extremely similar to the Nikon J1/J2 lightweight program digital camera, with a little body system signed up with by little contacts.

Size :

A few specifications appear to have also appeared, indicating that the digital camera will consist of an 18.1 million pixel indicator. Most importantly, the physical dimension the indicator is not known, but looking at the dimension the body system would lead to presumptions that it would be a fairly little indicator, just like the J2.

Other specifications consist of a pop-up flash, built in WiFi, a 3.5 inch touchscreen display screen and HDMI outcome. A European public networking network appears to demonstrate the digital camera with a 10-30mm optic, also surprisingly the same central length as the kit contacts that is found on the Nikon 1 program.

The new Polaroid organization isn't the same as the Polaroid of old, as its name was sold onto a new organization after the original organization collapsed. Since then, it has exchanged under the name Polaroid Corporation and has launched products such as the Z340, an instant photography digital camera.

Its intelligent digital camera never achieved a global audience after its statement in the US, but perhaps the exchangeable contacts digital camera will be more widely available.

Watch this space for any up-dates on its release.

Expect More Galaxy Cameras: Samsung

New samsung has been trying to innovate with its line-up of electronic cameras that range from flip-out show and front LCD electronic cameras to Wi-Fi allowed ones to exchangeable contacts electronic cameras and intelligent electronic cameras. The New samsung Galaxy Digital camera that operates on the Android's Jam Vegetable (v4.1) os was released last month in Indian at a price of Rs 29,900. It is a mix between a superzoom camera and a intelligent phone of sorts. The Galaxy Digital camera is a multiple that connects connection and discussing with the performance of a photo camera. As opposed to other Android-powered electronic cameras, it facilitates both Wi-Fi connection and 3G/ 4G data connection; it is available in two variants: 3G + Wi-Fi and 4G + Wi-Fi. It has a 1.4GHz quad-core processer and a built-in Photo Magician for the post-processing of images. We did a quick QnA with Asim Warsi, v. p., New samsung Cellular Indian about the Galaxy Digital camera and based on our connections, here is what New samsung had to say:

Why have you selected to categorise the device under the 'Galaxy' product, which is typically your mobile brand? Why not under your photo camera series?

The Galaxy Digital camera features key functions from both you and intelligent phone planets. Its top photo functions include 21x visual zoom capability for improved functionality, a 16MP BSI CMOS indicator and ‘Smart Mode’, which enables you for users to achieve top quality, professional-like pictures in just a few simple steps. From the intelligent phone world, the Galaxy Digital camera contains 3G and Wi-Fi connection, full Internet surfing around support, and access to Google Play and New samsung Applications, all running on the Android os 4.1 Jam Vegetable OS.

Can we expect smaller and lower-priced Android-powered cameras from Samsung?

We will be launching more models as part of the Galaxy Camera family. However, we cannot give any further guidance on their features and pricing. 

Are both the 3G and Wi-Fi devices already available for India? 

The Galaxy Camera launched in India is both 3G and Wi-Fi enabled.

How do you think the Samsung Galaxy Camera would affect the sales of Samsung smartphones with high-end cameras?

We see both the Galaxy Camera and the high-end Galaxy smartphone market growing.

Do you plan to introduce the Android OS into cameras other than the point-and-shoot ones, say, your interchangeable lens camera range?

We will continue to grow both the Galaxy Camera and Samsung Smart Camera segments through innovative new product introductions.

Baig : Galaxy Camera Puts Samsung In New Focus

When you project into an AT&T Shop to buy a photo digital camera will be initially. Oh, sure, any of the mobile phones you might purchase at AT&T has a digital camera built in, perhaps even a reasonable one. But you're thinking mobile first, with the digital camera offering a additional benefit.

Taking images is the primary function for the eye-catching new New samsung Galaxy Camera that AT&T just started selling. It has a wonderful 4.8-inch high-definition contact show on the back that can be considered even in direct sun, the same dimension display as on Samsung's popular Galaxy S III smartphone and one that works as a lovely viewfinder.

The front — you'll never error this point-and-shoot for a mobile — is white and eye-catching. Galaxy Camera is slim enough to fit in a loose wallet too, though you'll certainly feel the large.

So why is it sold at AT&T? The message is simple: As with a smartphone, you can ideally publish images and discuss images when you're out and about, zipping them off easily to an online storage space locker, online community or via e-mail. And the digital camera has a excellent picture indicator and other photo tools that take it up a level from the digital camera on your mobile.

Though Galaxy Camera is not a smartphone, it has functions in common with its Galaxy kin. Start with the fact that when Wi-Fi is not available, the digital camera can be linked with AT&T's wi-fi 4G mobile information system (specifically the HSPA + system, not the quicker LTE network).

Alas, 4G costs a expensive $10 each 30 days on top of the $499.99 you pay for the digital camera itself. That gives you between 1 gb and 20 GB of information, but only if you're already part of an AT&T Cellular Share wi-fi strategy. Otherwise, you can pay $15 each 30 days for an individual strategy that gives you a simple 250 mb of information, or go up to $50 each 30 days for a 5 GB option.

AT&T is giving Galaxy Camera owners 5 GB of free reasoning storage space, potential for approximately 5,000 average dimension images, in its new AT&T Locker.

Prowling the Web :

The digital camera homes the kind of highly effective quad-core processer you might see in a state-of-the art smartphone. It operates Android operating system edition 4.1, known by the Jam Vegetable name, allowing you to bring suitable applications in the Search engines Perform market.

You don't generally go to your digital camera to hunt the Web using Google Firefox (or any other) web browser, but that's what I did. I also sent and read Googlemail, examined the weather, got guidelines through Search engines Charts, performed Upset Wildlife Celebrity Conflicts, heard music streaming from my Search engines Perform account, and even considered thoughts from a The show biz industry film.

All the applications are easily available from a contact selection acquainted to the Android operating system audience. By installing a third-party app such as Skype, you can even make or receive telephone phone calls.

Of course, you can also take benefits of the Picture Magician app that New samsung preloads, for easy modifying projects, or visit the Search engines Perform store to bring Instagram or variety other photography-related applications.

But while obtaining a large number of cell mobile applications is welcome, do you really want a digital camera, especially one that's much bigger and bulkier than your common portable, subbing for your smartphone? And since Galaxy Camera is eventually about capturing images, you'll want to be additional careful of sapping power supply.

With all that in mind, the appropriate way to assess Galaxy Camera is not to evaluate it with the digital cameras on mobile phones but rather to its point-and-shoot opponents. Galaxy Camera supports completely, even if it is on the costly side. It has a 16-megapixel picture indicator, 23-millimeter wide-angle contacts and a sleek 21X visual zoom capability that you management with a handle on the top of the digital camera. Given the schizophrenic characteristics of the device — it has photo and mobile origins — the management also enhances as a amount musician.

I was generally happy with the images that I took outside, a little less so in less light. Shades were vivid and actual. The digital camera also records high-definition video. You can take images by pushing a physical shutter key on top, just like a common factor or capture, or by hitting an on-screen symbol.

Samsung contains three main capturing ways. In automatic method you're allowing the digital camera select the appropriate configurations. You can also apply various filtration (sepia, medieval black, etc.) from this method.

In intelligent method, you can take benefits of several brilliant tricks, some of which are found on Galaxy mobile mobile phones. The Best Picture feature, for example, takes eight successive pictures; you get to tap each of the images worth keeping. A Best Experience device allows you select the best mug for each person in a group taken from one of five successive images taken. Your most favorite for each topic are placed in a single picture. A Beauty Experience establishing allows you cover up face blemishes in a topic.

Other intelligent method options are ideal for macro close-ups, silhouettes, scenery and capturing panoramas.

Photo lovers may move to "expert" method, in which most of the show is taken up by clear manages that simulate the phone calls you might see on a DSLR. By using the phone calls, you can change aperture, ISO, shutter speed and other configurations.

But some functions are absolutely gimmicky. For example, you can use your speech to management the digital camera. Say "cheese" or "smile" to instantly take a picture. It proved helpful — but only some of enough time — and not when there was a lot of exterior disturbance. It may be a crowd-pleasing stop, but is it all that hard to media the shutter button?

Galaxy Camera is a better present shooter than the smartphone in your wallet, and having wi-fi is a major comfort. But not everyone will want to spend the additional recover the cash for applications and functions that are completely well-suited, and copied, on your mobile.

The bottom line :

Samsung Galaxy Camera

$499.99, AT&T information strategy optional

Pro: Strong digital camera operates Android operating system Jam Vegetable and numerous applications. 4G wi-fi information (with plan) to supplement Wi-Fi, allowing you to publish and discuss images when you're on the go. Beautiful display. 21X visual zoom capability.

Con: Expensive, especially with optionally available information strategy. Lifestyle cycle of power supply is reasonable.

Samsung’s (005930) innovative concept to pack Android operating system Jelly Bean into a photographic camera with a 21x visual zoom capability, 4.8-inch display and with mobile connection is nothing brief of amazing. The only cuboid we have to choose with the Galaxy Camera is that it’s only available on AT&T (T) in the U.S. and it only facilitates HSPA+ instead of quicker 4G LTE systems. 

 A recently found FCC processing indicates Verizon (VZ) is already examining a version of the Galaxy Camera on its 700MHz group that does have 4G LTE, however. Verizon and New samsung have not created any formal reports yet, but it’s likely that lifestyle cycle of power supply for the Galaxy Camera will take a hit with LTE switched on. If you have had your eye on the Galaxy Camera but cannot stay without LTE, it might be best to keep out just a little more time — Verizon’s costs for the Galaxy Camera will likely be just like the $499.99 AT&T is promoting it for.
