Forgive our capitals explosion, but we’re a little shocked right now. Nokia just announced a cameraphone with a 41P sensor. FORTY-ONE MEGAPIXELS. Naturally Nokia’s sticking with Carl Zeiss lenses, but that 41MP camera can shoot 7728 x 5354 photos in 16:9 format, or if you prefer 4:3, in 7152 x 5368. There’s just one thing: It runs Symbian.
Last week we told you about Qualcomm’s new S4 Snapdragon processor, which promises lightning speeds and integrated LTE. But it is also offering a “Pro” version, specifically designed with performance graphics and hi-res display in mind.
More Mobile World Congress news from Samsung, hot on the heels of the 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab 2. The also 10.1-inch Galaxy Note blends features from Galaxy tablets and the 5-inch Galaxy Note (coming soon to Vodafone and Telstra).
Thought the Lumia 710 was aimed at the shallower-pocketed amongst us? As leaked, the Lumia 610 goes even further in bringing the price down, with Nokia itself saying it’s for the “younger audience.” Calling it “confident,” with “generous curves,” I was scratching my head waiting for Nokia to introduce Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks to the stage instead. Alas.
While the One X may be HTC’s beast of a flagship device, the One S is not far behind. It’s packing a new Snapdragon S4 processor into one of the most solidly built phones I’ve ever put my paws on.
If the online reports are right, the Nokia 710 will shortly have an even cheaper, even simpler little Windows Phone brother.
Given Sony already torpedoed its Xperia S back at CES, you can aaaaalmost forgive the now-lacking-in-Ericsson company for its lacklustre MWC showings. New Sony boss Kaz Hirai took to the stage to intro the Xperia P and Xperia U phones, which, as rumoured, are both dual-core phones with 8MP and 5MP cameras between ‘em.
First it was HTC, and then Samsung. Will LG be the next company to make Google’s own Nexus devices?
At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Samsung’s just added a 10.1-inch size Tab 2 alongside the 7-incher, which was announced just the other day. The lager model features Ice Cream Sandwich and a 1GHz dual-core processor, but weirdly, is actually fatter and heavier than the original 10.1-inch Galaxy Tab.
