Android Phone Wars Episode 5

Ok, for now, their were not many phones to compare but now....(drum roll)...their is!

Today we will be taking a look at the HTC One X+, The LG Optimus G, The new Google Nexus 4, and the current winner, The Samsung Galaxy SIII.

So lets get a round up on the Samsung galaxy s 3. The phone is crazily thin and when i got to hold it, i was afraid i would break it right their in my hand. It is now updatable to android 4.1 and maybe 4.2. It has a 4.8 inch full HD super AMOLED display. It has a 4 core 1.4 ghz proccesor. It has 16, 32, and 64 gb of storage. It has a 2100 mAh battery. It has a load of sensors: Accelerometer, Proximity sensor, Gyro sensor, and even a barometer. It has a digital compass and RGB Light sensor.

It has a 8 megapixel camera with no shutter lag at all. The front camera is 1.9 mega pixels. The video recording is 30 fps and full HD.

It comes in around 6 colors (i think) and available at $199 on contract from At&t and T-Mobile.

I think it stacks up well against the rest of the phones.

The LG Optimus G came out a couple of days ago and it is a shocking device from LG. It has a 1.5 ghz 4 core proccesor. It has 16 gb storage capability, 2100 mAh battery, 4.7 inch screen which is able to be used as a dual screen. You can play a game and check your email at the same time. The camera is 8 mp, and front camra is 1.3 mp. The video recording is HD resolution.

This is intense from LG. Usualy LG makes small phones like the Optimus one.

So the specs are crazy for an LG.




The HTC One X came out not to long ago, and for some reason, being the most powerful phone is just not enough. It seems like they hacked their own phone and over clocked it to 1.7 GIGA HERTZ, 
What the Heck! This is the all new ONE X +

So it has a 1.7 GHz quad core processor, an 8 mp camera on the back, A 4.7 inch screen, It has all the same sensor as the Samsung except that it does not have a barometer and RGB light sensor. It has Beats audio built in enhancements. It has HD video recording and 1.6 mp camera in the front. It also has the same battery as the Samsung.

Now, The GOOGLE NEXUS 4, the new Google nexus. It has a 4 inch screen which i personally thing is perfect. It is running android 4.2 jelly bean 2. it has same Processor and everything as the LG because it is made by LG. The thing is it is unlocked to any GSM network, and comes with 2 different storage capacity. It seems like google is selling it as an ipod instead of phone.

I have no freaking idea what is up with the back of the phone though.




To sum it up:

Samsung gets a total of 8 points
LG gets 6 points
HTC gets 6 points
Nexus gets 8 too!

So our best will go to the new Nexus, because it is a nexus, it is stock. My friend recently bough an S3, even i was confused.

So here is the list of our phones so far.

Android "Phone Wars" episode 3

Well, I think all iphone 4s users are just waiting for me to post "Iphone 4s, best smartphone in the world", uh no, not yet. Maybe in 25 years, and I will tell you why.

Lets start with the Iphone. Many thought it was to come with a 1 GHz processor. But no, it was lowered down to .8 GHz, or 800 MHz. Why is that, well because the iphone's does not need so much speed because it is less functional than all androids and windows phone, which are starting to use 4 core 1.5 GHz processors. Then the screen, it is small. The shape, is terrible and uncomfortable. The battery life is the only advantage it has, and even that came at a cost, of lowering speed and voltage. The camera is fairly well. And you can get multiple storage sizes. Also the iPhone releases alot of radiation.

Then the Current winner, the Samsung galaxy nexus. 1.2 GHz Dual core processor. 5.0 MP camera, 4.65 inch screen super amoled display. 16-32 gigabytes of storage. A whole bunch of sensors that i will not list all over again now, read other posts. Upgradable to android 4.1

Now, the true competitor. The Samsung Galaxy SIII (3). 1.4 GHz 4 core processor. 8 mp, camera. 4.8 inch super AMOLED screen. You can get 16, 23, or 64 gb of storage in the phone built in. Has a way better battery, and all the same sensors. and it is built in with android 4.0.4

Well Lets ad up the points
Iphone 4s
1 point for camera, 1 point for storage, 1 point for battery.
Total: 3
Galaxy Nexus, 1 point for screen, 1 point for sensors, 1 point for speed, 1 point for storage, 1 point for android 4.1.
Total: 5
Galaxy S3
2 points for screen, 2 points for storage, 2 points for speed, 1 point for camera
Total: 7

Our new winner is the Samsung Galaxy S3

here is the list of phones on the ranking list

1. Samsung Galaxy s3
2. Samsung Galaxy Nexus
3. HTC One X
4. Motorola Droid Razr Maxx
5. HTC Rezound
6. Motorola Atrix 2
7. iPhone 4s

Android "Phone Wars" episode 2

Last time we talked about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the Motorola Atrix 2 and the HTC Rezound. And today i will be talking about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the Motorola Droid razr maxx, and the HTC One X.

Right off the back of your head you will say, MOTOROLA, well yes, the Motorola Droid razr maxx has a lightning fast dual core processor with a speed of 1.2 GHz, which is the same as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. But it only comes with android 2.3 and is now update-able to android 4.0. Its biggest hit is battery life, it has a 3300 mAh Li-Ion batter that can last you 15.5 days on standby and 20+ hours of talk time. But it gives off the most radiation, compared to most phones. It gives off 1.45 W/kg of radiation, which will basically give you cancer really quick. it has a Super AMOLED screen and is equipped with the following sensors: (Accelerometer (motion sensor) / Proximity Sensor / Ambient Light Sensor). It has a 8.1 mega pixel camera that take hd video and pictures and has a 1.3 mega pixel camera on the front for video chat.

The Samsung is similar yet different to the Motorola droid razr maxx. it has a 5 mega pixel camera, 1750 mAh Li-Ion battery. but it wins out against the Motorola because it has 32 gb of storage rather than 12, and comes with android 4.0 and is upgradable to 4.1, has a 1.2 GHz processor. it gives off half the radiation and it has a gyroscopic sensor (stability sensor, it can tell in what position the phone is in) and a compass.

The HTC One X, the flagship phone for HTC. has a quad (4) core 1.5 ghz proccesor, comes with android 4.0, has a 8 mp camera, has 16 gb of storage capacity. it has the same sensors as the motorola. But you can not put in a micro SD card for extra space like the rest.

So, lets count the points

Motorola Droid Razr Maxx
1 point for speed, 2 points for battery life, 1 point for Supper AMOLED screen, 1 point for camera. -1 for radiation
Total: 4

Samsung Galaxy Nexus
1 point for speed, 1 point for android 4.0, 1 point for sensors, 1 point for storage. 1 point for android 4.1
Total:5

HTC One X
2 points for speed, 1 point for camera, 1 point for storage, 1 point for android 4., 1 point for battery life.
Total:5

The HTC vs. The Samsung, which will it be. well the Samsung has more space, more sensors, better android version. Android 4.1 project butter compensates for the speed loss so the Samsung Galaxy nexus is not so slow. The Samsung wins this one gys.

So the List

1. Samsung Galaxy Nexus
2. HTC One X
3. Motorola Droid Razr Maxx
4. HTC Rezound
5. Motorola Atrix 2

( want to tell me something, have a phone to suggest to put on the list, disagree with something, post a comment here, you don't need to log in, it can just be anonymous.)

Episode 3 will include the new Samsung galaxy S3 vs the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and the iPhone 4s. will the popular iPhone beat its biggest rival yet. Read in the next episode of Phone Wars.

Android "Phone Wars" episode 1

Well on this blog i decided to spice some things up a bit.

And i present to you, ta, ta-ta-taaa, Phone Wars!

Today's competitors are:
1. Motorola Atrix 2
2. HTC Rezound
3.Samsung Galaxy Nexus aka Google Nexus S

Well lets start by naming some of the key features of these phones, all of them have made outstanding progress in technology and i love all three of them, no really, for me it was really hard to announce the winner.

The Motorola Atrix 2 (successor to the Motorola Atrix 4g) comes with android 2.3 gingerbread on board and is just as fast as its father, the atrix 4g. it has a dual core 1ghz processor. it takes hd vidoe and pictures. it has a 4 inch screen and fits well in the persons hand, so it does not feel to big. and it has 8 gigabytes of storage, and is expandable by an sd card to what ever the largest sd card is. It is now upgradable to android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

The HTC Rezound (ooooh, the name sends chills down my spine) is not the most well looking phone in the world but it does its job of being smart. it ahs a dual core 1.5 ghz processor! WoW! and it has a large screen, takes great pictures and video. It has a long lasting battery, and has lots of storage capacity, of about 16 gigabytes! It is now upgradable to android 4.0 Ice Cream sandwich.

The Google Nexus S (successor to the Google Nexus by HTC) is the flagship android phone that was the first to come with android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and is upgradable to android 4.1 jellybean. It has a 1.2 ghz processor which is fast enough for anyone. it has a large screen of more than 4 inches. it has alot of storage capacity, and takes great pictures and videos.

All these phones seem to be the same, that is why i picked them.

The atrix gets 1 point for HD, and 1 point for storage.
total: 1 point

The Rezound gets 2 points for speed, 1 point for HD, and 1 point for storage.
Total: 4 Points

The Nexus S gets 1 point for speed, 1 point for HD, 1 point for storage, and 1 point for android jellybean.
Total:4 points

The Atrix is instantly out of the game. The rezound and nexus s have some competing to do. Well, the nexus does not have to be as fast because android jelly bean has project butter on board and their for compensates for the speed loss and jelly bean comes with lots of new changes too. Yes i know, the rezound is upgradable to 4.0, but its to late, 4.1 is out.their for, the Nexus S is our winner of todays episode of Phone Wars.

(If you don't agree, post a comment) (If you have a phone in mind to put on our list of competitors, post a comment i will gladly include any phone in the competition).

So here is the list so far of best phones:

1st place: Nexus S
2nd Place: HTC Rezound
3rd Place: Motorola Atrix 2

Spoiler, episode 2
Will the HTC One x put htc on top of the list. Will the droid razr maxx uphold its popularity and get on top. and will the Nexus S, stay as number one on the list.
