"All day, all night": The Motorola RAZR Maxx Spot, which promises a good battery

Several hours before the official launch of the Motorola RAZR Maxx in the United States, came out in new and exciting TV spot from this device very attractive, which promises a good range of products is superior to current standard.

Motorola RAZR Maxx smartphone is very similar to that already available in Italy, primarily related to hardware features, the novelty is found only in the 3300 mAh battery that is much, much more "big and strong".

To emphasize this was launched an advertising campaign in which the same Motorola RAZR Maxx Motorola, android smartphone, declares that lasts for 21 hours in continuous use and 15 days in stand-by mode. Truth or fiction?

Currently, this product will soon be available in the United States. Do you think these smartphones can be used for 21 hours of continuous use and 15 days in stand-by mode?

If we think that this really, since everything must be in this place, to assert from Motorola. Here is the link to see the place.
Introducing DROID RAZR MAXX by Motorola

CyanogenMod 9 alpha 3 LG Optimus One

LG Optimus One, android smartphone, has been one of the best selling devices, thanks to affordable and powerful enough hardware, can they can provide all the Android user experience. Now this amazing device, which will be officially updated version of Android Gingerbread, receives an alpha 3 of 9 custom ROM CyanogenMod.

ROM is not officially released by the team, but structured in Roman sources. So your child arrives home LG Ice Cream Sandwich. Custom ROM has not been stable, and also has a lot of mistakes as a browser, camera and Gmail does not work, so it is not recommended for everyday use, but "reserved" only for dev, or at least for the curious.

Obviously this rom, while 3 is still in alpha release, is in early development, and trust in the developer, which will certainly fail to resolve all the shortcomings in no time: you just have to wait. But in any case, I left you a link to the topic at XDA, so you can know the future, to receive more information or if you just have to try now Ice Cream Sandwich, you can download you need to flash a custom rom on your Optimus one.

Why Android smartphone which is larger than an iPhone?

So let's do a "comparison". Have you ever wondered why high-end Android smartphone that can compete in performance with the iPhone, the greater in conjunction with it? There is no real answer to this question, because Apple does not say anything about the fact that the iPhone uses a 3.5-inch screen, or Google (for example) say something about the fact that the Galaxy Nexus (for example) using 4.65-inch screen.

On average, in fact, all Android smartphones in the same market segment of Apple's smartphone, has a 4.3-inch screen (on average), and from this there will be more of an explanation. The first comes from John Gruber, who said that the reason will be found in the connectivity of LTE will offer several Android devices, but that will not offer the iPhone. LTE module, in fact, is a module which was greater than the 3G and CDMA, then the size of Android smartphones will surely grow. When he's wrong, just that it's not considered a small problem: Android smartphones with more than 4-inch display appears even before LTE. Therefore, the assumptions and reasoning opens.

Yet another explanation, perhaps the most obvious, perhaps associated with the use of the device with one hand. In fact, the iPhone could have a 3.5 inch screen because in this way, users will be able to use it with one hand, and this will be the reason why (maybe) Apple is unlikely ever to produce a phone with larger display sizes.

Yes, there's more! A third explanation comes from Jim Kim, who argued that the difference lies in a different rendering engine than an image and text to be IOS and Android. In fact, to try to design an Android smartphone that has a higher resolution screen than the iPhone (1280 × 800 pixels to 960 × 540 pixels), with the same interface displays the contents became too small Android by contradiction with 3.5 inch screen, so that to render it unusable. From here the need to increase the size of the screen. Even this seems a plausible explanation, but still there is something wrong, because only with the Galaxy and Galaxy Nexus Records that have introduced high-definition screen, and there is also the largest first Android smartphone than the iPhone. Perhaps for that reason that the two operating systems adopt a different rendering engine, has led in recent years all of the Android smartphone manufacturers to produce devices with ordinary resolution of 800 × 480 pixels, which he could not anymore, maybe just because the resolution and with those the display size, display content in the right place and acceptable.

Perhaps there is no real explanation, and everything seemed to move marketing to sell devices that can like it or not depends on the size of the screen. Perhaps what distinguishes Android smartphone, Galaxy Nexus in particular, the iPhone is that the former is a real computer with an operating system that allows the user to do anything, with a pure multi-tasking, as a real PC, but the larger screen size. The second, however, offers the convenience of a 3.5 inch screen which, however, is accompanied by a lack of multitasking pure like that of Android, the lack of LTE in some cases, the lack of NFC, Bluetooth is free open face ...! Not to mention a certain satisfaction in watching videos or playing with a smartphone with a larger screen and more assertive.
