Next Gen Super Phones

The line written above can lead to a whole new article, but let us not get off topic here. This time, I would like to imagine about our next generation Smartphones. As you probably know that Smartphones equipped with Super-AMOLED display, higher resolution, better camera pixels, disk space, dual core processor, dedicated graphics chip, etc. are being called as super phones. So, what could possibly top a super phone? May be nothing… not till 2015, but till then, our super phones are going to get many hardware upgrades and continue to change the way we look at technology.

So, let us discuss some benchmarks related to Intel Core i7 2600 3.4 GHz first and then, we’ll move on to our graphic card, i.e. HD 6770.

Intel Core i7 2600 3.4 GHz Performance

Intel Core i7 2600k

I have taken the liberty of clipping the screen from Intel’s website to prove the smartness and power of this processor.

As you can see, with Turbo Enabled, the processor can provide a 3.8 GHz of maximum speed without sacrificing the integrity of your gaming system.

So, those who don’t want to over-clock their system can rejoice because 3.8 GHz of speed is enough for every calculation that your computer would do for your various jobs.

As far as benchmarks are considered, Core i7 2600, secured well over 8000 marks in CPUMark test and came out as agreat value of money processor.

Great reviewer site’s like AnandTech, Guru3D, tomshardware, bit-tech, etc. approved the processor as a great gaming processor rather than some simple mainstream processor.

Now… when last time I wrote a wishful article about iPad, I overdid it with wishes and when I pointed it out that Apple should lower the screen size for better portability, people were not satisfied with the idea at all. Samsung amazed us by giving away Tab 2 a wonderful screen of 10.1-inch. So… there goes the portability down the drain. But, I am not discouraged as of yet because after suggesting folks what iPad 2 might have… I came out correct in many aspects in an iPad 2 Specification Leaked article.

So, it is only fair that I write about what may or may not happen in iPad 3 and we will know rest of story when Steve Jobs surprises us at a press event with iPad 3 in his skinny hands.

So… let me tell you about iPad 3 Release Date and Specs (Follow the link).

This article explains the procedure involved in accessing internet on your Smartphone. I have tried this on multiple Smartphones, like, Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830, Nokia N8, etc. and it worked really well. The process is simple and you don’t have to mess with any script or windows settings whatsoever. So let’s get down to work and have your internet running in your good old Smartphone.

Things you’ll need

1. Windows 7 or Windows Vista or Windows XP

2. Connectify Software (for Windows) to turn your laptop or desktop into a wireless hub.

3. Little bit of free time, only 10 minutes should do the trick.

4. Wireless Hardware for Laptops or Wi-Fi Adapter for Desktops.

5. A Wi-Fi Enabled Smartphone.

Things are going to get even tougher for AMD, which is the only other competitor in processor market around the globe. Obviously, I am talking about processors related to computers only. So… right now latest processor series via Intel i.e. Core I series Second Generation 2011, are currently ruling the marketing and hearts of performance users.

Intel Ivybridge processor will succeed Sandy Bridge and you know that it is the basis of today’s high-performance computers, whether laptops or desktops. It is based on only 22nm fabrication node and may be called as a sister version of Sandy Bridge, which is based on 32nm fabrication node.

However, I am talking about a next-generation processor based on 18 nm fabrication node, which literally breaks Moore’s law that is related to ‘limitation of excessive die shrinking processes’. Ivybridge would be bringing PCI Express 3.0 and it will be the leading graphics card port for several upcoming years. This so-called decacore processor will improve the graphical performance of that particular card by optimizing each node and calibrating the data-transmission (graphical units precisely) for each connection.

Getting BSNL 3G

· Fill out BSNL 3G sim card form at your nearest sim retailer.

· Get your 3G sim (recognizable by BSNL 3G written on it) and place it in your 3G enabled mobile.

· You can also use this sim with an unlocked 3G USB modem, like Micromax 300G.

· Connect your mobile with your computer (desktop or laptop) to avail 3G speeds on your system.

I think that we should thank Adobe for their Flash Player for supporting HD content on smartphones and Google for letting their Android OS support Flash. See… how everything is linked together in a tight bun?

After Netflix showed some interest in walking down the street with Android and had some fancy chat about them, sharing some time together, Hulu is also interested in joining the scene.

What matters is compatibility and its a sad thing to know that Hulu would only be compatible with smartphones with Android 2.2 or later. Still… since many Android devices are getting updates OTA (over the air) or otherwise, 2.1 would not last long in the crowd.

As you can see in the picture above, that a Nexus S smartphone is showing what we call a playlist with popular videos (or something) with Hulu written in the left-most corner of the screen at the top. I hope its not a made up thing and wish that we would actually be able to see Hulu on Android devices, even if it supports 2.2 and later.

For this article, I would be telling you about what you should prefer: 3G USB Modem or Stick or Data Card over 3G Smartphone or Handset?

• 3G USB Modem is a device that is capable of delivering 3G wireless-broadband to your laptop or desktop computer that is not 3G-ready because they don’t sport sim card-slot (however, new ones do).
• You can experience same speeds on laptop and desktop computers via USB port and there is no clutter of wires and modem or router.
• Many operators in India offer 3G USB Modem, like Airtel, Aircel, BSNL, Tata Docomo, Vodafone, Reliance, etc. So, there is always a possibility of getting confused over what you should get or in which operator you should invest your money for USB modem.
• I have tested nearly all USB modems and found them very unreliable and less dependable than 3G Smartphones. Recently, I have tested Tata Docomo 3G USB Stick, HSUPA, 7.2 Mbps. So, you could say that I’ve tested the middle member of 3G USB modem family of Tata Docomo (they are 3.6 Mbps, 7.2 Mbps and 21 Mbps).
• This stick wasn’t able to completely absorb or receive 3G signals and used to switch between 3G to 2G, and vice versa, a lot. The worst part was, ‘disconnection’. If you are in a middle of an internet transaction, then ‘disconnection’ is that one thing you would hate most.
• I came to this conclusion that Docomo 3G stick wasn’t reliable, when I inserted the same 3G sim card in my Nokia N8 that I’ve recently bought and my old favorite N73 (capable of delivering 384 Kbps on 3G) and I was amazed to see the difference (not between phones).
• I did some other experiments as well, which I think you would like to read. Visit the source link – Buying Guide: Should you buy 3G USB Modem or 3G Smartphone?
