HTC TITAN II
Initially heading for AT&T in the US, the HTC TITAN II is an upgrade to the TITAN announced just a few months back, but this time adding 4G LTE support and the highest resolution camera of any Windows Phone device that we have seen to date.


4G technologies are a big thing in the US at the moment with carriers and manufacturers pushing LTE and HSPA+ devices. The TITAN II follows this trend, so if you live in an LTE coverage area then you can potentially get very quick download speeds. If you don't have LTE, then the TITAN II also covers HSPA+ and UMTS as well. Handily, the TITAN II should work quite happily in Europe and worldwide due to the comprehensive network support.

The other key improvement over the original TITAN is the camera, as the TITAN II sports a 16 megapixel snapper on the back. We've said before that megapixel counts are not all that important, and we somehow doubt that the pictures are actually twice as good as the original TITAN.


Most of the other features are unchanged - the TITAN II packs a large 4.7" 480 x 800 pixel display, it has a 1.5GHz processor, 16GB of internal flash memory and the handset runs Windows Phone 7.5. The TITAN II has WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, plus a 3.5mm audio socket and GPS.

One other small improvement is the battery, a 1730 mAh cell replacing the old 1600 mAh unit. The TITAN II measures 5.2 x 2.7 x 0.4 inches and weighs 5.2 ounces (or about 132 x 69 x 10mm and 147 grams).

Sony Xperia ion Preview
This is a powerful beast. Inside is a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor. On the front is a 4.6" 720 x 1280 pixel HD display and an HD camera for video recording. On the back of the Xperia ion is a 12 megapixel Exmor-enhanced camera with 1080p HD video capture capabilities. The Xperia ion is a 4G LTE device, one of a number of new 4G devices for AT&T and other US carriers.


Internal flash memory is 16GB, and the Xperia ion also comes with an HDMI port and can share media using DLNA or Sony's BRAVIA Sync service. The Xperia ion is also PlayStation certified and has access to a very large library of entertainment from Sony's media division.

Motorola Droid Razr XT910 coming soon to market priced at Rs. 33,990

Motorola's Droid Razr XT910 is expected to be launched in India anytime soon. However, prior to the launch, the price of the new Droid Razr XT 910 for India is already out – online retailer flipkart.com has priced the device at Rs. 33,990. The price however does not surprise us as we have been already speculating the device to be priced above Rs. 30k.


The Droid Razr XT910 has just 7.1mm width and is touted to be the slimmest smartphone in the market presently. The Raxr XT910 runs on Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread operating system and features 1.2GHz dual-core Cortex A9 processor with a PowerVR SGX540 GPU and 1GB of RAM, on the TI OMAP 4430 chipset.

 Other notable specs of the new Droid Razr include 4.3-inch (540x960) SuperAMOLED display, a front-facing 1.3MP 720p HD camera, a rear 8MP autofocus camera with LED flash and 1080p HD recording, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with DLNA and hotspot functionality, Bluetooth 4.0 with LE+EDR. It has a 1,780 mAh battery, which is supposed to give 9 hours and 20 minutes of talktime. 



SONY Ericsson XPERIA Play price drops to $99
                                      


Quality mobile gaming just got a whole lot sweeter. As part of Verizon’s Back to School promotion, the price of the SONY Ericsson XPERIA Play has been slashed to just $99. While Verizon may be positioning the new price of the XPERIA Play as a limited time promotion, we have a feeling the phone may never reach its original $199 price point again. With AT&T expected to launch the XPERIA Play later this year, Verizon’s probably gearing up for a competitive price.

Is the new $99 price tag on the SONY Ericsson XPERIA Play enticing enough for you to make the purchase? Or does SONY need to beef up their offerings in the PlayStation Suite before the XPERIA Play starts flying off store shelves?



Window phone concept


Is it a window, is it a phone? No. Actually, it’s Window phone and this is the part where you are saying “Whaaat? What are you talking about?”. The phone is actually a concept with extraordinary features. Surely if this could be actually put into production, it would set a new standard for the term “cool”.

I will be back soon with more cell phones n technology :)
