With the recent launch of Windows Phone 7, it has been a tough challenge for Android to speed up the manufacturing partnerships. The launch of Motorola Atrix 4G is a recent answer. It’s yet another smartphone gadget that allows you to carry the power and performance of mobile computing inside your pocket. It runs on Android 2.2 Froyo and comes with a dual core ARM Cortex A9 processor on the Nvidia Tegra 2 platform with 1 GB RAM, 16 GB internal storage 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and the horsepower you need to keep pace with all aspects of your life. Internet pages open twice as fast as non-dual-core smartphones and Adobe Flash player makes it possible to view a full range of online animations and video. The new Motorola Atrix 4G’s unparalleled versatility and connectivity equips you to handle whatever life throws at you, wherever you are. It enables you to make calls and work within the web-top application at the same time.iFixit has said that this is the most-repairable smartphone yet, and has given it a reparability score of 9 out of 10.

Motorola’s Atrix 4G is the fastest Android handset on the market, but lets see how long it retains this position. One of the great qualities which Atrix possess is that you can dismantle it yourself, the LCD is not glued in, this will become an advantage if you crack your glass, as you will not have to pay the cost of a new screen just to get the damaged glass replaced. There are no warnings such as VOID stickers if you take the Atrix 4G apart.

Lets have a look at the Mr. Atrix’s facts and figures:

iPhone 4S – Is Apple living up it’s legacy?

 

I don’t want to be biased, but hello, everybody out there is comparing trend setting and innovative iPhone with comprehensive Android. With the release of much anticipated iPhone 4S, it raises all the questions, Is Apple living up it’s legacy?

I’ll be discussing iPhone 4S features in detail a series of blog posts, and compare them with what we already had in Android powered smartphones many months ago.

To start with, here is a cool comparison I found on one of tech forum, Talk Andoird.

Hands-on: HTC Desire Eye may just have the world's sharpest selfies

The HTC Desire Eye is a smartphone that Ellen Degeneres would envy, packing a 13-megapixel front camera for selfies and another 13-MP shooter on the rear. Both cameras sport a backside illuminated sensor for better low-light shots, and both are paired with a dual-LED flash. You can even shoot using both cameras at once in split-screen mode.

We spent a few minutes with a near-final unit of the Desire Eye, and it looks and feels like a premium phone despite its mid-range target audience.

Although it's made of polycarbonate instead of the One M8's metal, the Desire Eye is one sleek smartphone. The white color with red accent is meant to give off a youthful vibe, and we like the soft-touch feel. Plus, because the red strip is injection molded, there are no unsightly lines. Unfortunately, having such a large lens above the screen not only looks a bit awkward, but also adds to the height of the device. We had to stretch our fingers more than we wanted to in order to operate the Desire Eye. Want to take some stills or video on a water ride at the theme park or at your kids' soccer game in the rain? The Desire Eye should have you covered with its waterproof unibody design. It can withstand 1 meter underwater for 30 minutes. There's also a dedicated two-step camera key for focusing and capturing shots.
