What Do You Know About Android Phones?

The cell phone community has been in love with the Android OS since 2007. Since its debut the Android system has gone through many updates and upgrades. Now the Android operating system software is competing quite well against the other OS softwares that are out there. The iPhone and the Blackberry are not the only smart phones on the market anymore. With the Android phones and operating system getting more popular by the minute, we thought we would check out the history of the system and see what we could learn. Here are some factoids we learned about the Android operating system and the phones that use them.

Have you heard that iPhone users are far more likely to pay for applications than people who use Android OS mobile phones? A study done recently has shown that about half of the people who use iPhones will pay for the applications they can’t access for free. This study also shows that only one in five people who use the Android phones will buy applications. This could change as the Android market’s paid app section grows but, for now, Android users are more thrifty than iPhone users. It might seem overly competitive to brag about this, but Android users don’t mind.

Enthuisiasts for the brand make up a large part of the iPhone population. They purchased the iPhone not because of features or functions but because it was created by Apple. The Apple community and fan base is quite large. Consumers of Android OS are not yet as committed to their product. They likely choose phones with low prices and a wide range of technological features they may or may not need or use.

Without a doubt, iPhone users are so loyal to the product brand they will recommend it to others. Some Android users might recommend their phones to others but many are reluctant still.

The Android OS was created to enhance the Open Handset Alliance. The operating system is constantly being updated and advanced by multiple companies. Google may be the largest company in the news right now but that does not mean they are the only one. These companies are spread all over the globe and work with hundreds of different mobile providers. The Android OS is recognized universally as a cellular operating system as a result of these global organizations. Knowledgable users will choose the Android over other OS because of it’s open source abilities.

The Android phones are globally used. If you have a cellular phone already that is not an iPhone or a Blackberry you are probably using the Android OS without even realizing it. The Android OS is more widely used than might think, the only acceptions are the iPhone and Blackberry smartphones.

That is because many providers began implementing the open source Android OS in 2007 after it’s premier. How many times have you changed phones since 2007?

Lenovo announced the ThinkPad T430u Ultrabook that offers two hard disks that can store various files like movies, music, pictures, documents, etc..

The first hard disk size of 500 GB, hard disk both the SSD (solid state drive) is 24 GB.

"It's the only, ultrabook which has two hard disks," says Product Specialist PT. Lenovo Indonesia Antony Widjaja when media conference held in Jakarta on Wednesday (20/2).

Country Lead Small Medium Business PT. Lenovo Indonesia Irene Santosa said the laptop it is intended for entrepreneurs and small to medium sized businesses because they need a laptop that is practical, easy operation and a lightweight carry travel without compromising quality.

"This new laptop is really changed the way people on an ultrabook. ThinkPad T430u represents a new era of computing that are thin and light," says Irene.

Ultrabook is measuring less than 0.8 inches (2.03cm) and weighs less than 4 pounds (1.81Kg).

The size of the keyboard is made bigger and anti-splash of water. Lenovo laptops have been testing it through eight stages including testing against dust, shock, altitude, extreme temperatures both hot and cold.

Computer manufacturer Dell Incorporated profits fell 11 percent at the end of January 2013 to 14.3 billion U.S. dollars following the company's plan to exit the market and become a private company.

Bloomberg called the value exceeds the estimated number of analysts who called profit company headquartered in Austin Texas USA was only 14.1 billion U.S. dollars.

"Income does not include the decrease in value per share to 40 cents, versus 39 cents forecast by analysts," said Bloomberg.

International Data Group, as published PC World, Dell has experienced record profit decline in five quarters in a row due to a decline in sales computer.

Dell Revenue from desktop and laptop computers, which comprise half of Dell's business, fell to 20 percent by the end of the fourth fiscal quarter.

"The only thing growing is the business unit (product) for Dell servers and network (segment) business reached 18 percent," said IDG.

Dell has reduced its dependence on product benefits their PC and transform itself as a "solution" which emphasizes services and software.

Previously, Michael Dell, founder of Dell, along with private equity firm Silver Lake Partners agreed to replace 24.4 billion to shareholders in order to change the status of his company to private companies.

Qualcomm today introduced the RF360, a radio frequency chip for 4G LTE mobile devices that supports multiple networks in the world.

Qualcomm RF front end solutions designed to increase performance and simplify RF OEM companies in developing multiband and multimode mobile devices, Qualcomm said in a statement on Friday.

RF360 radio frequency chip that already supports seven modes for the entire cell, including LTE-FDD, LTE-TDD, WCDMA, EV-DO, CDMA 1X, TD-SCDMA, and GSM / EDGE.

Qualcomm said the solution is designed RF360 is more efficient in power consumption and performance have increased to 50 percent better than the previous generation.

"A wide range of radio frequencies used to implement a global network of 2G, 3G and 4G LTE presents ongoing challenges for designers of mobile devices. 2G and 3G technologies Where each has been implemented on a 4 to 5 different global RF bands, the inclusion of LTE brings the number of bands cell to be about 40, "said Alex Katouzian, senior vice president of product management, Qualcomm Technologies Inc..

Qualcomm confirms that the RF360 chip will be launched to the market in the second half of this year.

Today, Qualcomm also announced other new products, WTR1625L chip, RF transceiver devices that consume battery power 20 percent more efficient than the previous generation.

In earlier days, Qualcomm also unveiled two new mobile processors, Snapdragon Snapdragon 400 and 200.

Tricks to save battery on the Processor "8-Core"

How many pieces of the ideal number of core processors for mobile devices? One, two, four, or eight? Last number that is chosen Samsung for its latest mobile processor series, Exynos 5 Octa.

It was announced Samsung at CES stage, January 9, 2013, as if not to be outdone the other two manufacturers of processors, Nvidia and Qualcomm, which also introduced their mainstay.

While it has a number of core two times more than the previous generation processor, Exynos 5 Octa promised power saving and battery would not waste a high-end smartphone or tablet use.

Because, of the eight core Exynos owned Octa 5, only four that have high performance. The four core Cortex-A15-based architecture, just like yours Exynos processor Dual 5 is used in tablet Nexus 10. The four remaining core using Cortex-A7 base architecture that is optimized for power efficiency, not performance.

This configuration is the result of applying the concept of "big.LITTLE" from ARM. The eight core Exynos 5 Octa will share the workload dynamically according to the amount of system load. For example, browsing or other mild case handled by the core A7, A15 cores will temporarily take over while running a game or application "heavy" other.

Exynos 5 Octa will be one of the first processor that implements the concept big.LITTLE that, if not actually the first time.

The concept is slightly different from the approach taken in the processor Nvidia Tegra 3 and Tegra 4, where producers core chip it imparts an additional (companion core) can only be used when the four main core is turned off.

Exynos 5 Octa will be made with 28nm fabrication proeses promising more efficient power usage than the 32nm process used to make the Exynos Dual 5.

Problem couples graphics processors (GPU) used in SoC, Samsung does not provide specific information except the claim that its performance will be two times faster than previous generation processors.

If the processor "older generation" referred to include Samsung Exynos 4, then 5 Octa Exynos will probably be put on the Mali-T604 GPU as used by Exynos Dual 5.
