Today i was toying with the idea of purchasing the new HTC Snap and looked up the difference between the SNAP and ROSE
HTC SNAP
http://www.htc.com/sea/product/snap/specification.html
HTC Rose
http://www.htc.com/sea/product/s740/specification.html
I realize that the Rose is a more powerful device than the SNAP ?? If you read the specs closely, you will see the following difference:
HTC ROSE Memory : ROM: 256MB, RAM: 256MB
HTC SNAP Memory : ROM: 256 MB, RAM: 192 MB
HTC ROSE Camera : 3.2 Megapixel
HTC SNAP Camera : 2.0 Megapixel
The SNAP also launched at a slight cheaper price than the ROSE. I surely did not expect HTC to launch a newer but inferior WM Standard device . Any thoughts on this ?
That's right. Plus Rose has FM radio and voice command system built from factory.
And two (maybe important) points outside of techspecs:
1. Snap misses Ctrl on QWERTY (remember copy/past operations)
2. Even thinner, Snap is bigger in overall volume of the body
On the other hand, one-handed writing on QWERTY on Rose is impossible, and battery live of Snap could be expexted 1,5 longer (1500 mAh vs. 1000 mAh in Rose). Nevertheless, Rose battery is able to power it usually for whole busy day, so it is not such a big issue.
The only reason i can think of choosing Snap over Rose is the fact that the Snap do comes in a non-camera version,
suitable for workplaces that disallow phones with camera capabilities.

Hello XDA!
I was just wondering if you could have any feature, any software, any hardware anything at all on an android tablet, what would it be?
What would your dream tablet offer? 7" format? IPS LCD screen? unlocked hardware? bluetooth tether?
The sky's the limit! be creative
I don't really think this belongs in Chef Central... maybe general or something like that. Its not really to do with ROM development, so it shouldn't really be here.
I'm sure there are plenty of threads like this around too, if you are stuck for where to put it.

I envy you that is one monster indeed! I've got some Core Duo with Vista, but it does have Bluray
Well it's going to take me a little bit longer before I can buy the base model and start the upgrading process to that beast of a beast that will last me for quite some time (with minor upgrades/repairs here and there).
I currently have a netbook though, and it's a dual core 2.2ghz with 2gb of ram. All I know is I will marry that thing once it's finished. haha
Thanks for the humor
I realized as soon as I posted that it was in the wrong section.
Actually, speaking of chefs, I'm working on a new brand of android tablet that will be coming out later this year, would you be interested in doing any testing/development on it?

Interesting...
a full size usb would make it thick(er), what if there was a microUSB that was unlocked so you could use an adapter?
wouldn't you prefer a bluetooth keyboard over a slideout that large? then you could also use it while it's docked in the car.
a removable battery is also an interesting idea too.
For $400 the screen type would suffer I think, low pixel density and not so great color. screen type is one of the more costly components.
What about battery life/weight? they are hand in hand, with the removable battery I guess the battery could be smaller so the unit could weight less.
i would love an all in one package. I don't want to have to carry the bluetooth keyboard. It may be an unreasonable concept.
As long as the color on the screen is decent it doesn't really matter. For me it's much more about the touch portion with this type of device. I want it to have a good, accurate, responsive screen if i'm going to drop that kind of money on it.
To give you an idea of where i am in my tablet phase.
I've already owned a Sylvania SYNET7LP which was full of suck out of the box but with some tweaking became nice little device. One of my biggest issues was typing on it. hence the mention of a slider. if the touchscreen was good enough you could ditch the slider i'm just looking for overall package.
I'm currently in the market for tablet number 2 budget around $250.
the front runner is http://www.aliexpress.com/product-g...-capacitive-4GB-512MB-1-0ghz-wholesalers.html
It's missing some of the features i listed but you said "Dream" tablet right?

a removable battery also speaks a lot to the life expectancy of the device. removable means replaceable. replaceable means the device was build not to be a disposable device once the battery has been shot.
as for my reasoning for a full size usb it's pure convenience. The Sylvania i have has the damn dongle and it's just one more thing to have to carry and potentially loose.

i made that originally for a dream phone... but considering that smartphones and tablets are "merging" on the same hardware spectrum... i might as well throw that out to anyone who wanted to look... and its NOT specific to WM or Android even so it fits perfect here...
Although, if you look, I didnt stretch the DREAM part as far as some people seem to be able to stretch it, im thinking real work tech available, but phone/carrier company's too stupid (read, they want to milk us all for MAX $$$ instead of just providing one large massive uber pwnage upgrade that would effectively end cycled purchases every year, the greedy fuks)
cheers...
Make some prototypes and hand them to the seasoned devs over here. Im sure everyone would support you.

Limited storage and no hdmi out. I am tempted to buy a nexus 7 but in the end it is not capable of replacing my Flyer. I would have to keep both
Flyer
Just sayin I'm savin up for the galaxy tab 2 7.0. I love samsung equipment!
Downside on Flyer - old OS or incomplet JB.
Downside on N7;
no pen
no sd card
low storage
no camera (only front one 1.2)
no 3G
no hdmi
some better hardware thow, but with some well known problems with display problems
Nexus 7 aint cheap for no reason looking at all what it does not provide.
N7 simply can not replace Flyer. At least not for me. Seeking for something alse in time if we dont get polished JB.
Edit:
Just realized that our JB rom has less non working stuff that nexus 7 has les then flyer

They n7 has all but replaced my flyer with a couple minor exceptions. Navigon still doesnt work on the n7, so the flyer is my gps unit. No mic in jack, so the flyer is still used for skype/teamspeak...
As for the other points made:
No pen... I don't use the pen, so...
No sd card... That was one thing that originally kept me back from buying an n7, but as it turns out, I don't really need the extra space.
Low storage... 16gb is low?
No (rear facing) camera... I have taken all of 5 pictures with my flyer in the year+ I've had it. Even then, the pictures were awful quality.
No 3g.... Neither does my flyer
No hdmi.... I have used mhl a total of zero times on my flyer...
|-|-|
Everyone's use is different. I use mhl everyday and use a min if 20-30gb
If you don't use the features your loosing the nexus 7 is superior easily. As for how they perform side by side with jelly bean, that's hard to say as their isn't an oem quality jelly bean rom for the Flyer yet, may never be. Honestly probably about the same, flyer might have the edge on gaming believe it or not because stuff has to be optimized for tegra or it won't perform well. But again that's assuming you have a perfect jelly bean rom, which the flyer lacks.
One thing you'll loose over the flyer though is a nice community. The nexus 7 is popular, and a ton of people are complaining about defects and the community is blasting them for it. It's a nightmare. It's about like the chaos you'd expect having a kegger in your living room

Ok so it goes even more; no vibra lol
and worse game performance on N7 then flyer.
Ok what again does it N7 then actually do better? Browse internet pages?
Now it really makes sence why it was so cheap compared to Flyer.
Gaming performance is better but right now developers haven't optimized a whole lot of games for tegra 3. Gameloft for instance. Nexus 7 users are complaining constantly about frame rate issues. But in the long run it'll be better for gaming you can bet on that, developers are working on it. Just sayin now I realize why people *****ed about tegra 3. Tegra chipsets blow everything our of the water... If stuff is optimized for it. Other chipsets work like direct x on a pc

Despite the aborted launch of Acer's Aliyun-powered phone last September, the cheeky Android-based OS is now back with a handful of new devices courtesy of some local friends, with the most notable device coming from Zopo, a notorious cloner of Samsung, HTC and LG phones. That said, it looks like the company's making a change with this seemingly good-looking C2, and for the launch price of ¥1,399 or about $230 unsubsidized, the specs will probably make Xiaomi tremble: there's a 5-inch 1080p gapless LTPS display, a MediaTek MT6589 chip (1.2GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 processor with 1GB RAM and PowerVR SGX544 graphics), 4GB internal storage with microSD expansion, Yamaha audio chip, a removable 2,000mAh battery and WCDMA 850/2100 radio with HSPA+.
Furthermore, not only is there a 13-megapixel f/2.2 main camera, but there's also a staggering 5-megapixel front-facing camera on the other side -- just like the one on Oppo's Ulike 2. Oh, and these all come in an 8.5mm-thick body, too. Zopo's now accepting pre-orders for the first 5,000 C2s and will be shipping before the end of the month, so if you have an account on Tmall and don't mind being a guinea pig then go for it.

Hi everyone,i am in the market for a new phone.
I have been following general reviews of Htc one and Samsung galaxy s4, but in the end i always liked the htc one for its build quality, expecially considering that i owned the Google htc nexus one, that recently broke down.
The problem with the Htc one is the cost. I personally think spending more than 400 euros on a phone is foolish,and both the Htc one and Samsung s4 cost 699 euro, just way too much.I would fear carrying it around, and dropping it, or even scratching in anyway.
and thus i am looking at the Oppo find 5 and its general build quality, great screen,quite powerful, rom support and everything.
And in the other hand, i am also looking at the Huawei Ascend P6 (pictured), which has:
Quadcore 1,5 Ghz
2 gb ram
720 x 1280 pixels (321 ppi)
8 mpx back camera which records 1920x1080 (1080p HD) + 5 mpx frontal
removeable microsd card, and supports microhdsc
Fast mobile data support (4G)
4.7 inches display, (120 g)
2000 mAh battery
for 399 euros.
Considering this, i would like some suggestions or advice on why is the Oppo find 5 better or worse than the other contenders, and what did you like the most about your Find 5, how do you use it.
Lenovo S898t TD-SCDMA/GSM Specifications:
Model Lenovo S898t

Appearance
Lenovo S898t smartphone features 5.3 -inch screen with OGS full lamination technology. Lenovo S898t smartphone looks like a piece of sheer black smooth mirror in quenched screen. The black receiver uses the low-key black metal mesh, and down below you will see the lenovo LOGO. On the right side is a front-facing camera and a indicator light, and mobile G3 LOGO.
The back of the body features the most prominent 13 million pixel camera. Down below is a LED flash light. Downward is a silver lenovo brand logo. Dark gray frosted back blend with Metal fabric texture design makes Lenovo S898t smartphone touches textured as well as not easy to leave fingerprints. The middle is a sunk speaker, which produces decent sound effect.
With 147 * 76.7 * 76.7 mm dimension, the thickness of Lenovo S898t smartphone is less than 8 mm, which is cozy to put into the pocket or on the tablet. Arc transition makes the headphone jack on the top takes on the shape of droplets, and right above is power button. The left side of the body is without any buttons. Volume button sits on the right side, within reach of your thumb. Processed by rotating grinding, these buttons are responsive. The bottom of the right is a USB interface.

Verdict:
Less than 8 mm ultra-thin body, and innovative Metal Fabric back cover bring users comfortable texture; while the combination of a 5.3 -inch 720 p hd screen, quad core 1.5 GHz processor and 13 million + 2 million pixel camera gives Lenovo S898t phenomenal value.
