Nokia Lumia Series: Changing the Face of Nokia

Nokia was on the back burner, and then right on the burner, suffering major losses, struggling against the economic slump and most of the gripe was faced by Nokia. Desperate times usually result in some outstanding creations, and that came in the form of a storm of new handsets, all part of the Lumia series. The illumination of thought that sparked off the Lumia series has led to far reaching consequences, that Nokia must be proud of. Let's look at some of the best from the Lumia series for a true appreciation of them all.

Lumia 920

The Lumia 920 was literally, Nokia's worst kept secret. The fantabulous features were just too good to keep under wraps. The Lumia 920 is unfortunately thought of as a better iteration of the Nokia 900. In truth this phone has a lot of versatility against the Nokia name, that it is an ingenious creation resembling no other in any big way. This device has a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 CPU, which is the same powerful processor to drive the HTC One X and the Galaxy S III to all their performance glory.

The Lumia 920 also has an improved display compared to the Nokia 900 with a screen resolution of the 1,280 x 768 on its 4.5 inch LCD display which fair better than HD. There is nothing further to seek when you have PureView imaging, for great pictures with the 8 Megapixel camera. The smartphone is NFC ready and comes fueled by 2,000mAh battery. Another major attraction with the Lumia 920 is its accessories, especially wireless charging. The device sports catchy hardware, without any sensuous curves just light roundednessaround the edges and just plain old hardware with a splash of neon color.

The form factor is quite similar to the Lumia 900, bearing the same all-polycarbonate. Nokia likes to use glass and the 2.5D glass bends into the polycarbonate border. The shine from the gloss won't keep the cracks from the glass, and so you'll want to strap on some hard, protection wear, that will sadly hide that beautiful neon coloring.

Lumia 820

Comeback or what! Nokia spun gold, with the Lumia 820 which is the more affordable phone compared to the Lumia 920, still with all the favorite features, truly offering value for money. The Windows 8 OS has been managed and supported beautifully with this device. Maybe not as neon as the Lumia 920, but the colors are fun and bright. The Lumia 820 comes powered by a 1.5 GHz Dual Core Qualcomm Krait processor backed by 1 GB of RAM.

The screen, unlike the Lumia 920 is a 4.3-inch AMOLED ClearBlack capacitive screen with a screen resolution of 480 x 800 pixel pixels. The screen is darn good under sharp sunlight, since it has sunlight readability enhancements, and color boosting.There is even brightness control to save on energy although 1650 mAh Li-Ion battery which manages almost 15.4 hours talk time on 2G and up to 8.1 hours on the 3G network doesn't need the extra help.

The camera is an8 megapixel one with that professional Carl Zeiss Tessar lens camera with 4x digital zoom and dual LED flash. Another camera is fitted to the front and there is HD video recording. Your fine quality pictures and other files can be stored easily with the capacity of the device being 64 GB via the microSD card. Other key features include the 3D Accelerometer, Ambient Light Sensor and Gyroscope Sensor.Connectivity wise there is Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Hotspot tethering.

Lumia 720

The Lumia 720 was pitched by Nokia as the "trendy option" of the Lumia series, and we see why. The device has more curves, and is soft on the eye. This smartphone has the same size display as the Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 being 4.3 inches. The screen has great viewing angles, and minimal reflection. Also, under sunlight, the screen does not require an extra hand while reading a text.

Promises are kept at Nokia, and the Lumia 720 got a 6.7 MP camera just as good as the one foretold by the company. The camera features a large f/1.9 aperture with Carl Zeiss optics for pristine clear pictures that extract maximum detail and color reproduction. The wide angles give wider snapping choices and for those with a camera flair your needs will be satiated with this good looking device. The front camera is of 1.3 MP.

There is also a snap on wireless charging cover and the device comes in five colors. The processor is a Snapdragon S4 dual-core 1 GHz processor backed by 512 MB of RAM. Internally you get 8GB which can optionally be extended all the way to 64 GB. The battery is a dutiful 2000mAh battery and helps you to enjoy the Windows 8 experience.

Lumia 520

The Lumia 520 is the most affordable, from the Lumia series, but is in no way cheap (quality assessment). This device has the same digital camera lenses seen on the Nokia Lumia 920 without the exact same supplementary features. There is Nokia Music for free music out of the box. The screen is a 4-inch super sensitive touchscreen, and the device has a 5-megapixel auto-focus rear camera with features like Smart Shoot, CinemaGraph and more. The Nokia Lumia 520 also features shells in five colors. The budget device comes with a Snapdragon S4 dual-core 1 GHz processor backed by 512MB RAM. You get 8GB internal space expandable to 64GB. There is Bluetooth 3.0,Wi-Fi, and 3G available.

Lumia 620

Nokia brought in the Lumia 620 even while the excitement over the other Lumia series was still going strong. Being another very affordable device that has a sturdy shell and good core features, this one was a ready success. The phone runs on the 1 GHz Qualcomm Krait Dual Core Processor and packs in the Windows Phone 8 OS experience.

The screen is smaller than the other Lumia series devices being 3.81 inches of capacitive LCD touchscreen. The concentration of pixels, gives favorable results. However the WVGA displayhas a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels with Color Boosting which is more than what other budget phones offer. The rear camera is a 5 MP snapper and comes with 4x digital zoom and LED flash. There is a secondary camera and HD video recording.

The bar shape has been given subtle curves like the Lumia 720. The 1300 mAh battery powers device for14 hours of talktime. Internally there is 512 MB and storage space of 8 GB, and possibly 64 GB through micro SD cards.

Build Trouble-Free & Impressive Apps for Mobile

Nowadays, billions and billions of people from almost all walks of life don't leave their home without a mobile phone in their hands. Therefore, it doesn't come as a surprise that applications developed for these devices are becoming the trend, and many of these kinds of apps are being developed and uploaded on the store.

However, what makes an app stand out among the rest? With the tight competition, it can be very hard to build an impressive app that will attract your target audience. Nevertheless, it can still be done, provided that you just keep in mind these simple tips.

Application Design & Usability

There are no set usability standards when developing apps for mobile phones, since these devices come in different screen resolutions, functions, etc. With that, it's almost impossible for the developer to solve some issues that might arise from the app. That's why it's very important for the developer to learn first the hardware of their target device, and design their app accordingly.

As a start, do not build any kind of app without first building a workflow chart. That way, you will be properly guided on the development process, and you'll be assured that you don't go overboard.

Do not get carried away with so many features for your app. Doing so may complicate the usage of app and make it hard for users to appreciate it. The K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid) Principle applies to this. Also, try not to fit lots of information on the app, as it could make the app look cluttered, and hard to see. In general, try to only use the features that you really think are necessary, and then optimize it to fit the small stature of the device.

Also, do not leave the users hanging when they use your app. Try to make your application loading time as fast as possible. Long loading times could deceive the user into thinking that the app has already malfunctioned. If the app is loading content from the web, put a loading indicator for it.

Application Testing

Not everyone will use the app the same way as you do, so it's important that you first test the app multiple times. First, you can test it yourself, and then select yourself a minor testing group that will use the app and point out any errors that might come up. Doing so will ensure the integrity of your app to the end-users, and it lets you know about any design flaws, or even security holes, that you might have missed during the development process.

Conclusion

As stated before, with the wide variety of mobile phones nowadays, there are really no set guidelines for app developers to follow. It really is just a matter of studying your target device, being familiar with it, then developing the app, which takes advantage of the features of the device.

However, if you just follow these guidelines, and determination, you'll be assured that you will get to build that impressive app that will be enjoyed by many mobile phone users.

Samsung Galaxy S4

One of the new trends of the year in the smartphone market has been the emergence of 5-inch Full HD matrices. While manufacturers are taking the first steps, but now we can say for sure that the top smartphones of many (if not all) Android-vendors in 2013 will acquire display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

One of the Korean newspaper published an exclusive information obtained from alleged spokesman Samsung. States that in the framework of the exhibition CES 2013, which will be held in January in Las Vegas, the Korean company will show 4.99-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display.

Given the fact that all the other manufacturers who have released or plan to soon release a Full HD smartphones (HTC, Sony, Sharp and OPPO), use the LCD-matrix, Samsung will be able to create a "stand out from the crowd" flagships.

It is expected that Samsung Super AMOLED matrix is ​​ultrathin, consume little power and will be able to stand out among competitors in brightness and contrast. The representative of the Korean manufacturer also stated that the density of the pixels in the display will be 441 ppi - in this case, the points are virtually indistinguishable, even for the sharpest vision. Mass production of the matrix was made possible by combining the current FMM-method and advanced technology LITI.

C given that the Galaxy S4, according to rumors, will be presented in the second quarter of next year, Samsung have plenty of time to have time to equip the new flagship of the stunning matrix. Especially in light of the fact that the main competitors at this time is likely to have time to market their Full HD smartphone - at CES 2013 we will show one or two devices Sony , is not far off and the announcement of HTC Deluxe .

Earlier, it was reported that Galaxy S4 receives heavy duty quad Exynos chip and 13-megapixel camera . Final picture begins to slowly take shape.

Mobile computer is equipped with a small screen diagonal of about 7 inches, Pocket Yoga can work on the basis of processor Intel Atom series and managed a full version of Windows 8.

If Lenovo will continue to work on the project Pocket Yoga and actually release something like this on the market, the success of a computer will be provided, because the alternatives to this ultra compact computer yet. Who in his time almost cult mobile phone Nokia Communicator under the present power of the processor would have been a really interesting proposal. But we can just say that the battery life Lenovo Pocket Yoga is unlikely to be impressive, no more than four to six hours, I suppose.

Apple has not yet even acknowledged the existence of the iPad Mini, but pricing and configuration information for the much-rumored tablet is allegedly already appearing in a consumer electronics giant's inventory system.

The iPad Mini will come in 16 different memory and wireless configurations, according to an inventory system screenshot obtained by MobileGeeks. The screen capture allegedly comes from the internal inventory system of Media Market, Europe's largest electronics retailer

The page -- in German -- lists pricing for various configurations in Euros, presumable with Europe's 19 percent value added tax already factored into the price. Prices will start at 249 Euros ($322.60) for a Wi-Fi-only 8 GB iPad Mini, with other memory configurations of 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB also available. The high-end 64GB cellular version is listed at about $650, presumably with 4G LTE capability.

iPad Mini rumors have been swirling for months, with various sources reporting that the device will feature a 7.85-inch display and go on sale for a price that's far cheaper than Apple's current, larger tablet.

Apple has reportedly already begun mass production of the new tablet, which is expected to be introduced on October 23. However, one Asia news outlet reports that production issues will delay its debut .

Apple has reportedly ordered 10 million units of the unannounced tablet for the fourth quarter, roughly twice what Amazon reportedly ordered for the Kindle Fire for the same quarter.
