Top 10 Upcoming Low-Cost Android 4.0 (ICS) Tablets for 2012
by Matthew Sabatini on Feb 22, 2012 1 Comments">1
Can there be such a thing as a good cheap Android tablet? Has Ice Cream Sandwich really leveled the playing field so that cheaper hardware can run it smoothly? Ever since the “tablets” have become a must-have item, it seems as if every electronics manufacturer on the face of this earth is trying to get their hands on some of the market share. That’s right, Sony, HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Lenovo and even Amazon have stepped up and produced Android tablets. However, no matter how many Android tablets the manufacturers push at us, they all seem to fall very short of …
A Preview of the Krait-Based S4 Vs Tegra 3 and Exynos 4210
by Lucian Armasu on Feb 21, 2012 4 Comments">4
While it’s not completely surprising if you understand where Krait is coming from as an architectural overhaul for Qualcomm’s CPU’s that finally has out of order execution, but also many performance improvements and bigger memory bandwidth, the Krait architecture and the dual core 1.5 Ghz S4 chip that is based on it manage to show some impressive numbers in benchmarks, making it the most advanced ARM chip that will arrive to market in the coming months. S4 vs Tegra 3 The dual core 1.5 Ghz should beat Tegra 3 in most benchmarks, but also in real world use for most …
What Will Be the Best Android Phone of 2012?
by Shaleen Sinha on Feb 21, 2012 25 Comments">25
[Updated: February 21st] The year 2011 was all about “dual core”, becoming the standard for high-end smartphones. And we just witnessed what superphones like the Samsung Galaxy S II, DROID RAZR MAXX, and others are capable of. These phones are five times more powerful than anything released last year, and for this upcoming generation of devices, even more. So, what next? This year, chip-makers have come forth with quad core processors supporting mobile multitasking comparable to the performance of a desktop computer of a few years ago, powered by Tegra 3 SoC’s and TI’s OMAP equivalent. More cores equal more …

Asus Transformer Prime TF700T vs iPad 3: Battle of the Best
by Lucian Armasu on Feb 14, 2012 7 Comments">7
You thought 2011 was going to be the year of the tablets, but ended up disappointed with the showing of tablets in 2011? I don’t blame you. Both Google and the initial tablet manufacturers screwed up with the launch of the “real tablets” with Android 3.0x Honeycomb. Google did it with the half-baked Honeycomb, and it was obvious it was rushed with Motorola scrambling to release it before the iPad 2, with features that weren’t even ready for launch. Little good did that do for them, when they released the Xoom with a starting price of $800, which brings me …

What’s the Big Deal: Android Honeycomb Vs. Ice Cream Sandwich
by Christine Torralba on Feb 10, 2012 2 Comments">2
Ever since the announcement and the release of the latest Android OS, people have been making a fuss to get their hands on an Android smartphone that runs on the OS. As Google announced that the first device to carry the latest OS was the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, people started waiting for the phone to be released into the market. That’s why when news about delays broke out, people got agitated and all the more anxious to see what the fuss is all about. Plus, it did not help that tech blogs endlessly talk about the latest OS, the Android …
Using an Android Smartphone as Your PC
by Lucian Armasu on Feb 08, 2012 11 Comments">11
I don’t remember exactly when I first thought of this idea (your phone being the only computer you need), but I know it was many years ago, probably before Android was on the market. Imagine using your phone/mobile computer everywhere, because it’s always with you, and coming home, putting it on the desk, and boom – it connects to your desk’s monitor, and then you start using it as a PC. This future seems increasingly more likely thanks to Android. I knew this is getting closer to reality when dual core ARM processors started appearing and when Motorola launched their …
Why Bigger Batteries Matter More than Thinness [Editorial]

![Why Bigger Batteries Matter More than Thinness [Editorial]](http://1.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Android-Authority-Approves-of-Fat1.jpg)
We have seen some pretty thin phones come around lately, haven’t we? From the Motorola Droid RAZR, to the Huawei Ascend P1 at CES, and to the Samsung Galaxy S3, which is rumored to be thinner than the incredibly svelte Droid RAZR. Even thought the Droid RAZR Maxx with that huge battery on its back, but let’s face the fact that the batteries in these thin phones are pretty bad, usually around 1500mAh to 1900mAh which tend to not last very long. So – why can’t manufacturers get it that we want more capacity in our batteries more than a …
Samsung holding a March 22nd event, Announcing the 7mm-thick Galaxy S3?
by Alexander Maxham on Feb 07, 2012 7 Comments">7
Here we go with the rumor mill on the Galaxy S3 again. It’s already been confirmed by Samsung that they will not be announcing or showing off their Galaxy S3 at Mobile World Congress later this month, but it looks like they will be announcing it at their own event in late-March. Frandroid has stated that the March 22nd date is the same date that Samsung will be holding a media event in France, and so far there is no mention of what will be unveiled, the Galaxy S2 successor should certainly be the main runner in this rumor mill. …
Google Glasses – The Next Computing Paradigm?
by Lucian Armasu on Feb 06, 2012 15 Comments">15
There’s something big coming, and that’s the Google Glasses. I don’t know exactly what the next “personal computing” paradigm will be, but I know that it needs to be even more personal (mainframe-to-minicomputer-to-PC-to-laptop-to-smartphone – all were ever more personal), more mobile, and also cheaper. If I was trying to find out what’s the next computing paradigm, I would go with something that we use even closer to our bodies than laptops or smartphones – it has to touch the skin somehow. A lot of unexpected gadgets could take that place, that we don’t even know about right now, but if …
Watch Superbowl XLVI on your Android Device for free
by Alexander Maxham on Feb 05, 2012 2 Comments">2
For those of us with Verizon we are pretty lucky. We already get one of the coolest NFL apps, NFL Mobile, which is exclusive to only Verizon. Now we find out we can watch the Superbowl tonight live on NFL Mobile? Pretty darn sweet. Unfortunately it’s not for all devices, we are sorry about that one. All 4G LTE customers get NFL Mobile’s Premium Red Zone service that usually costs a few bucks a month for free, but for the Super Bowl everyone with the app will be able to enjoy the game. It will be the first time that the Super Bowl …
