 Samsung S5260 Star II
It is the successor to really popular phone Samsung Star (S5230). The second-generation "stars" left in the same class as its predecessor - the budget touch phone. Star II has an unusual design: the emphasis is on clear contours, there is no customary zalizannosti. Materials used are simple (glossy plastic and thin metal edging), but looks stylish touch phone.
Display Star II received a WQVGA-resolution (240x400 pixels). At the 3-inch diagonal matrix little discernible grain, but the picture is seen well. And good viewing angles, color reproduction.
Run by a proprietary platform Samsung. The manufacturer has long been using it in their devices, so this is one of the best software shells from a functional point of view. Despite the low price, the phone includes widgets (there are also intended to update the tapes, profiles the most popular social networks), an online application store that makes it easy to find and install suitable for touch phone JAVA-programs. An excellent complement of networking opportunities is the availability of the wireless module Wi-Fi.

 Samsung S3350
This phone - inexpensive messenger, made in monoblock form factor with a hardware QWERTY-keyboard. In appearance guessed "the spirit» BlackBerry. The manufacturer took the model to a series of Ch @ t, ie positioning it as a model not for office tasks (mail, for example), as well as a device designed for active communication in social networks (Facebook or Twitter) or via SMS. Ranked Among the QWERTY-backgrounds, this model looks like a miniature.
The display is made in the expected landscape orientation. The screen is not touch-sensitive, so the interface is prepared for keyboard control, for example, on the main screen there are blocks of information furnished strings. As part of these lines can be made a rapid transition to a popular contact applications.
Among the networking capabilities of the phone: Bluetooth 2.1 and Wi-Fi. Also present are a standard audio jack 3.5 mm and a slot for memory cards microSD, so it can be considered as a substitute for the individual player.

 Samsung C3530
On the market less frequently updated model of traditional phones - without a touch screen, with a standard 12-key keyboard. C3530 refers precisely to this class. Appearance of the phone is definitely his strong point: in the case provided a lot of metal elements. It looks stylish and solid, the phone seems more expensive than its price. Display - QVGA-matrix ordinary - not amazing its parameters, but it offers decent image quality.
S3530 functionality expected "crippled" because of the form factor phone. However, the required set of features is present: the phone has a memory card slot, 3.5mm audio jack, 3 megapixel camera. Unfortunately, the limited communication capabilities of the model: no support for third-generation networks, as there is no Wi-Fi module. It is logical that such a phone - not the most convenient tool for web surfing, but the 3G support could come in handy for his work as a modem for Bluetooth-channel, for example. Another advantage of this format is the phone good battery life - phone may well stand up to 4-5 hours of battery life.

 Samsung S7230E Wave 723
The model is representative of smartphones running OS Bada in the middle segment. Compared with the first Wave it has a more modest performance.
Wave 723 is designed carefully neutral, it will fit the widest possible audience. Two elements in the design, which makes pay attention to it - it's stylish metal cover and comes with a flip device. It can be attached to the shell instead of a stub and receive real-time protection and the front panel display. The latter, incidentally, has a resolution of 240x400 pixels and is designed for technology TFT.
The smartphone runs on the Bada version 1.1, functionally it is slightly inferior to version 1.2, designed for hi-end smartphones. For example, multitasking is implemented with some limitations (for example, can be active simultaneously, only one third-party application). But the main features preserved: an online application store, access to the widgets on the home page, synchronization with email accounts and social networks.
Adequately represented and multimedia features: a handy set quality camera with a resolution of 5 megapixels, provides an opportunity for comfortable listening to music when used with 3.5 mm jack.

 Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
In a short time became the Galaxy Ace one of the most popular Android-smartphone. His success was determined by the absence of a large number of competitors on Android in the medium price segment. Galaxy Ace is designed as the iPhone. Ignore the similarity of this model with a smartphone Apple hard. Very similar hull shape, the rounded edges. Performance in general, qualitative, one can find fault unless impractical glossy plastic.
The display has a resolution of 320x480 at 3.5 inches diagonally, but still noticeable, that the definition screen gives WVGA-matrices. But the color and viewing angles are very good, the image is generally perceived pleasure.
Galaxy Ace runs on Android 2.2, which further expanded the functionality of Samsung due to the shell TouchWiz 3.0. It includes a redesigned user interface desktop line notifications. Also, the manufacturer added a standard configuration several proprietary applications, many of them may already be familiar to you Galaxy S: for example, an application for reading books, or to transfer media files AllShare on Wi-Fi.
Are Galaxy Ace disadvantages? The essential include a lack of support for Flash-elements, however, with its direct competitors is also no.

 Samsung Galaxy S II
The new flagship of the Korean manufacturer, and perhaps the most powerful model of all Android-backgrounds. In many respects, Galaxy S II confidently holds the top spot. For example, it is the thinnest smartphone (shell thickness of 8.5 mm). Another distinct advantage - it is an excellent display, technology Super AMOLED Plus. The colors are very bright, even the maximum viewing angle does not distort colors, the brightness is very high. Perhaps today it is the highest quality display on mobile devices.
The model is equipped with dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with a clock frequency of 1.2 GHz. This is more than enough to cope without any delay with all the tasks that are possible on the platform Android. By the way, your version of the system - 2.3, while another Galaxy S II refers to a very limited range of models to support the latest version.
The changes undergone as a general design, so the interface and the functional part. For example, the smartphone provides several "sections» (Hubs) for managing multimedia, games, office capabilities. Mediavozmozhnosti submitted an application AllShare (allows you to use remote storage media or speak the smartphone itself as a remote drive) and 8-megapixel camera. Now the flagship of Samsung - one of the most functional and productive smartphones.

 Nokia C1
For a long time from the Finnish manufacturer is expected to release DualSIM-model, but in a portfolio of Nokia appeared only in the second half of 2010, when the competitors were a whole series of phones with two SIM-cards.
Presented by Nokia «dvuhsimnik" - one of the most affordable models. Telephone compact, functionally primitive and practical. The body is made of rubberized plastic, it helps to ensure stability in damage. Colour screen, but the quality of the budget: the resolution of 128x160 pixels can not count on quality, clear picture.
C1 functionality is minimal, provided opportunities of entertainment only and FM-radio support MP3 (in the first place - for ring tones). But the minimum capabilities enabled the phone good battery life. Even if you use two SIM-cards it works for almost a week.
I should add that this model has a few "brothers": C1-01 and C1-02. The differences are small: in these phones adds support for memory cards and a simple VGA-camera, but there is only one slot for the SIM.

 Nokia C2-01
Versatile entry-level candy bar, a typical representative of the section through which a long time Nokia and kept the lead. C2-01 is characteristic neutral design, preferably a plastic housing with a small amount of chrome inserts. The display has a QVGA-resolution, low cost is not 128x160 or 220x176, which is certainly happy. But the buyer must be prepared to ensure that the quality of the matrix - a very mediocre.
The functionality of C2-01 does not require a special presentation - it has existed for several years, the Series 40, with minor changes the design and functionality. In general, the owner of the phone provides the core set of functions, such as office (calendar, notes, work with e-mail) and multimedia (memory card support, 3.5 mm, 3.2 megapixel camera without autofocus).
Networking opportunities are enhanced through support for 3G-networks, but among the optional wireless module is only Bluetooth, Wi-Fi in the C2-01 no.

 Nokia C6-01
This device is a new generation Symbian-smartphones Nokia, actively trying to keep the position under the onslaught of Android-devices. Nokia C6-01 has high quality housings, with generous use of metallic elements in the design. Metal made the entire rear panel and the bezel around the perimeter of the housing. With this smartphone looks presentable.
The display has a characteristic for Symbian-tachfonov 360h640. Nor to the screen brightness, or to complain about not viewing angles. Sensor capacitive sensor. Tachfon works by using a ARM-processor 680 MHz. This performance is sufficient to cope with all Symbian-applications.
Your operating system - Symbian ^ 3. The platform has expanded its capacity in comparison with the previous version, but still lags behind its main competitors - iOS and Android. The desktop has a few pages, where you can place widgets, increased the number of Ovi-services - this store applications and maps and e-mail.
Among other things, the smartphone provides a good camera with a resolution of 8 megapixels, though for some reason, no autofocus.

 Nokia X3
This is a traditional phone with a 12-key keyboard and a small, occupying half of the front panel display. The only difference is that the display is touch. Appearance of the model itself is its greatest strength - X3 Touch & Type to be very thin, which is emphasized by sharp edges. Did not disappoint, and materials of the body - almost the whole back side of metal, soft to the touch.
The keyboard is framed not quite standard: the usual bottom row, 0, # run as the fourth column. It will take some time to get used to the layout. Features a touch screen are not always used: first, it helps when navigating the menu (it is enough to click on the items icon), the keyboard is needed only when dialing.
5-megapixel integrated camera lacks autofocus, which adversely affects its potential. But even in X3 Touch & Type of almost no competition among the current offerings. The hybrid format is very useful as a transitional solution between traditional phones and touch phone (some buyers are still essentially pass them by, dislike), and features will be enough for undemanding to the media and network capabilities to users.

 Nokia E7
Along with the N8, this smartphone can be considered the flagship of Nokia in the current year. If the emphasis placed on the N8 in the multimedia component, the E7 is a continuation of well-established series Communicator with large "office" capabilities.
This is already manifested in appearance: the smartphone is a side-slider with a physical QWERTY-keyboard. When opening the display is fixed at an angle to the bottom: it's more convenient to produce a set and look at the display, and holding the device in his hand, and placing it on the table. Making E7 if not perfect, it is very close to that: the case is thin and it is very strong, solid, made up almost entirely of metal. To assemble and no complaints, the sliding mechanism works very well. The keyboard is divided into four series between the keys are physical dividers, making it easier to set. For each button has several meanings: in addition to the main characters, she can enter a number or some symbol. Typing on this keyboard is very convenient.
The display has a resolution standard for Symbian 360h640 pixels, AMOLED technology ensures excellent image and color brightness of a large margin. For a capacitive sensor no complaints. Single processor 680 MHz, though looks are not too impressive for a flagship model, but in practice the device provides a smooth operation, even when performing difficult tasks. In E7 retained the basic "chips", debuted in N8: the ability to connect USB-stick or accessories such as mouse through the adapter and the display output to an external display, including the video in HD-resolution through the mini HDMI port and the appropriate adapter.

The display has a QVGA-resolution, its quality is very good - and pleasing to the eye color, and brightness, and viewing angles.
The smartphone runs on Symbian 9.3, the updated version is not as many extras. If the buyer and the first was the owner of Symbian-based smartphones, it does not find any unknown elements in the interface. Basically correction subjected desktop Active Standby, which had more functional elements.

 HTC Wildfire S

For the majority of programs are available at the Market will be enough.
As with other smartphones HTC, Wildfire S contains a proprietary interface Sense. It offers a set of widgets, different styles of personalizing your home screen.

 HTC Incredible S
One of the most powerful device Android-family and at the same time one of the most interesting proposals for the "price / features." At Incredible S has a unique, industrial style - designers refused to licking the ends, made him, in contrast, angular. The smartphone is made of a soft-touch and durable rubberized plastic, so it stands out against the background of impractical glossy competitors.
WVGA-display models are produced in Super LCD, which is a competitor of Super AMOLED at Samsung.

 HTC Desire S
The smartphone has a recent update line Desire. By its parameters it largely coincides with the Incredible S, but different design. Appearance is made in accordance with the traditions of the original Desire: a smooth contours of the shell, more compact dimensions (through the use of displays with smaller diagonal), metal frame. The latter occupies the central part of the back side and edges, which makes the construction very sturdy. The front panel is completely covered with glass Gorilla enhanced impact resistance.
The smartphone has the original Android 2.3 interface, and Sense. The manufacturer continues to gradually expand, enhance the possibilities of this shell at the moment is the most functional corporate addition to Android. Processor with 1 GHz and 768 MB of memory provides great performance Desire S and all the features of the platform (there are no restrictions on the adaptation of Adobe Flash, for example).
Desire S is one of the most balanced proposal, although it does not offer top-end performance (he did not have the largest display and most efficient processor), the owner will not feel any limitations in the capabilities of Android.

 HTC Desire Z
The model is yet another variation of the original Desire. A key feature of the smartphone has a folding design and a physical QWERTY-keyboard.

The display is made by technology Super LCD (it is used in most modern models of the NTS) and offers excellent image quality. Capacitive sensor also leaves a positive impression.
Performance of the smartphone is a bit crippled compared to the other members of the series Desire. For example, the CPU clock speed is limited to 800 MHz. However, this will be enough for everyday use and install Android, comfortable working with most of the Android-programs.
Branded HTC Sense shell expands the standard features of the platform Android, provides access to a large number of utilities (systemic, social, media) directly to the main screen. When choosing a smartphone with a QWERTY-keyboard Desire Z is almost the only option for running Android.

The next step forward - Sensation is the first smartphone HTC, uses a dual-core processor with a clock frequency of 1200 MHz. In the future, it will run on it in more complex applications than existing now for Android. Of course, even at this stage, this hardware allows the filling does not worry about speed devaysa.
Smartphone running the latest version of the operating system Android - 2.3 Gingerbread. Another addition was the use of most of the new version of the interface Sense (she first appears as a time to Sensation). It changed the lock screen, it made more functional and improved visualization of the designers' proprietary utilities (weather, for example).

 LG Optimus One P500
The smartphone has become one of the most popular models among mid-level devices running Android. The popularity of Optimus One suggestion has been provided with maximum functionality in a relatively low price, so the model is popular among a wider audience.

The processor operates Optimus One at a clock frequency of 600 MHz, so the Adobe Flash support is not expected. But, in combination with 512 MB of RAM and Android version 2.2, the smartphone offers excellent performance. Even if you completely fill the desktop widgets and shortcuts, Optimus One will retain a high performance. The presence of WLAN and 3G modules, together with one of the newest version of Android allows you to use your smartphone as a wireless modem.

In contrast to the more simple models of Android-LG, in the manufacturer has included a proprietary interface.

The main camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels and delivers quality images with low noise level with natural light, additional camera features 1.3 megapixel resolution, and primarily intended for video calls.
LG Otpimus 2X promises to be relevant for a long time, since the potential of its performance to date can not even be fully realized.

 LG Optimus 3D P920
LG has managed to provide not only the first smartphone with dual-core processor, but also the first smartphone with a 3D-display. Optimus 3D screen has a resolution of WVGA (800x480 pixels) at 4.3 inches diagonally. In principle, a proven combination of features to allow a high-quality images. By default, the display works in 2D mode, to estimate its 3D functionality, you must activate the profile by pressing a dedicated side key. The peculiarity of the bulk of the technology is that the user can perceive the image as a volume on their own, without any additional accessories (3D-glasses, for example).
In addition to the display, Optimus P920 installed 3D-camera (it is easy to determine the image back to the shell with two lenses). She is able to take photos in 5 megapixel resolution and record video up to 720p at up to 1080p and 3D in 2D. It is worth to mention that this is the first camera with similar functionality, installed on a mobile device? View taken as the material can with your own display, as well as connecting to a compatible 3D-TV. Another achievement was the LG agreement with the largest video portals on the ability to download YouTube videos directly from the bulk device.
But the smartphone Optimus 3D display without interest and forming three-dimensional image. Judge for yourself: he also received a dual-core Texas Instruments OMAP4, operating at 1 GHz and RAM of 4 GB! Perhaps, with the hardware capabilities to worry about device performance is inappropriate.
The developers have prepared a special interface for the implementation of 3D-features new items, with it, users can gain access to the tools and content, which supports surround formats. Company representatives have promised to support the 3D-video, as well as a gradual increase in 3D-compatible games. It's now known that Gameloft is preparing to release a three-dimensional version of the racing simulator and golf. Also during the MWC became known that the blockbuster game Angry Birds will also receive a 3D-modification in the foreseeable future.

 LG C310
This is an inexpensive phone, that combines just two rare features. First, the model has attracted attention for its form factor: a candy bar with a physical block QWERTY.

 LG T320 Cookie Style
Cookie Style стал развитием бюджетной серии тачфонов, построенных на проприетарной операционной системе. Популярность такого рода моделей традиционно высокая, поскольку они объединяют в себе трендовый сенсорный дисплей, неплохую функциональность и очень выгодную цену.
Тачфон получился очень миниатюрным и легким, его форма рискует получить неблагозвучное прозвище «мыльница» из-за сильно зализанных углов корпуса. Габариты объясняются использованием небольшого дисплея (2,8 дюйма по диагонали), который обладает QVGA-разрешением. Поскольку модель бюджетная, используемый сенсор в ней резистивный, его чувствительность не такая высокая, как у емкостных сенсоров.
В функциональность программной платформы входит поддержка виджетов, возможность установки JAVA-приложений, есть также предустановленные клиенты социальных сетей. Набор беспроводных возможностей ограничен — в Т320 нет поддержки сетей третьего поколения, присутствует лишь Bluetooth 2.0 (Wi-Fi, GPS отсутствуют). Зато у LG T320 Cookie Style есть 3.5 мм аудиоразъем, позволяющий использовать тачфон в качестве плеера.

 Acer Iconia Smart
Анонсированный в начале года в Барселоне смартфон Iconia Smart можно отнести к экспериментальным моделям. Резонно возникают сомнения в том, насколько удобно пользоваться мобильником с экраном в 4,8 дюйма. По своим габаритам модель очень близка к Dell Streak (он обладает 5" экраном), который позиционируется уже как мини-планшет. Пусть тогда Iconia Smart будет макси-смартфоном.
Хотя увеличенные габариты могут доставить трудности с точки зрения эргономики (поместится не в каждый карман, да и не совсем ясно, как держать почти 200 г у уха при длительном разговоре), они несут в себе и ряд преимуществ. Вряд ли кто-нибудь откажется от дисплея с не только увеличенной диагональю, но и с разрешением 480х1024 пикселей. Это нововведение выводит на другой уровень комфорта мобильный серфинг и просмотр видео, но, с другой стороны, вызывает вопрос о совместимости приложений.
Компания Acer предусмотрела этот момент и предложила в стандартной программной конфигурации собственный, адаптированный интерфейс и расширенный набор софта. Беспокоиться о быстродействии устройства не стоит: он оснащен производительным процессором Qualcomm MSM8255-1 с тактовой частотой 1 ГГц и работает под управлением новейшей версии Android 2.3.

Его выделяет предложенный производителем форм-фактор: в Droid PRO имеется физическая QWERTY-клавиатура, при этом он выполнен в моноблочном форм-факторе. Размеры сенсорного дисплея немаленькие: матрица имеет разрешение 320х480 пикселей, а по диагонали занимает 3,1 дюйма. Такие параметры часто встречаются в Android-фонах среднего уровня, не имеющих клавиатуры.
Поскольку крупного навигационного блока не предусмотрено (все управление осуществляется при помощи сенсорного дисплея и строки сенсорных клавиш прямо под ним), увеличение габаритов стало несущественным.
Droid PRO работает под управлением Android 2.2, функциональность которого расширена за счет фирменного интерфейса MotoBLUR, предусматривающего широкие возможности персонализации. Производительность смартфона на высоком уровне благодаря использованию ARM-процессора с тактовой частотой 1 ГГц.
В общем, Droid PRO может заинтересовать как бизнес-пользователей (для быстрого отклика на корпоративную почту), так и для поклонников социальных сетей.

 BlackBerry Torch 9800
BlackBerry Тorch — это еще один вариант объединения сенсорного экрана и QWERTY-клавиатуры. В данном случае устройство получило конструкцию вертикального слайдера. В закрытом состоянии смартфон можно воспринимать как моноблок.
Дисплей может похвастаться разрешением 360х480, чего явно маловато для смартфона, претендующего на hi-end сегмент. Управление возможно двумя способами — сенсорным дисплеем либо клавишным навигационным блоком. В обоих случаях можно полноценно производить навигацию, определенной категории пользователей такое двойное управление обязательно придется по душе.
Фирменная мобильная платформа BlackBerry оставляет двойственные впечатления. Заметен результат работы, которую компания провела для адаптации интерфейса к сенсорному экрану и улучшение его визуальной составляющей, но все равно во многом BlackBerry OC отстает от ведущих мобильных платформ. Это проявляется как в недостаточно функциональной оболочке (например, в скромной информативности и функциональности главного экрана), так и ограниченном количестве совместимых приложений. Но, разумеется, когда речь идет о BlackBerry, нельзя забывать о наборе фирменных приложений и сервисов, являющихся «сердцем» ее платформы — удобного e-mail клиента, IM-мессенджера и так далее.

 Fly Q300
Fly Q300 обладает физической QWERTY-клавиатурой, размещенной под дисплеем, которая имеет стандартную 4-рядную раскладку. Это одно из главных преимуществ этой модели. Кроме того, нельзя не отметить яркое оформление телефона. Второе немаловажное преимущество — DualSIM-функциональность. Стоит отметить, что активным является лишь один SIM модуль: в режиме ожидания одновременно доступны обе SIM-карты, но в режиме разговора вторая SIM-карта становится недоступной.
С функциональной точки зрения модель Fly является типичным представителем локализованной версии «китайской» платформы МТК. Количество заявленных функций достаточно широко, но реализация далеко не каждой из них вызывает положительные впечатления.

 Philips Xenium X513
В портфолио мобильных телефонов Philips постепенно расширяется количество моделей с поддержкой двух SIM-карт. 513-ая модель также относится к их числу. Внешне это аккуратный и достаточно компактный моноблок со строгим, немного угловатым дизайном. Дисплей имеет QVGA-разрешение и выделяется хорошим качеством среди телефонов среднего уровня. При просмотре изображения под углом искажение несущественное, также матрица позволяет достаточно комфортно читать на улице в солнечную погоду.
Программная начинка Philips, к сожалению, имеет китайские «корни», это проявляется в местами нелогичном меню, неприятных шрифтах и характерных ограничениях вроде необходимости загрузки музыкальных файлов в одну папку для ее распознавания плеером.
При этом DualSIM-возможности в телефоне реализованы без нареканий. Модель не демонстрирует проблем с качеством приема, списки звонков и папки сообщений разделены для удобства по различным папкам для разных SIM. Сильной стороной Philips Xenium X513 является продолжительное время автономной работы, он способен работать более недели без подзарядки. Это один из лучших показателей во всей истории мобильных телефонов.

 МТС QWERTY
Пример брендированного операторского устройства. Он относится к бюджетному классу, что очевидно, но при этом обладает физической QWERTY-клавиатурой. Первое, что выдает принадлежность к нижнему ценовому сегменту — дисплей с посредственной цветопередачей и минимальными углами обзора.
Программная платформа проприетарная, это китайская программная база МТК. Ее функциональность совпадает с большим количеством телефонов от производителей второго эшелона, которые не тратят свои усилия на создание фирменной оболочки. Встроенной памяти у МТС QWERTY всего 16 МБ. Однако наличие слота для карт памяти microSD позволяет существенно расширить этот объем и без проблем использовать телефон в качестве плеера.
Преимуществом МТС QWERTY на фоне недорогих телефонов стала поддержка JAVA-приложений, это позволит значительно расширить функциональность девайса. Еще одним немаловажным достоинством является цена: это самый доступный телефон с QWERTY-клавиатурой.

 МТС Touch
Еще один недорогой операторский мобильник, на этот раз принадлежащий классу тачфонов. Корпус компактный, выполнен из пластика с использование глянцевых вставок. Последние делают его не очень практичным. Дисплей имеет неплохое разрешение — WQVGA, которое при диагонали в 2,8 дйюма дает очень четкую картинку. Качество матрицы, впрочем, закономерно низкое: страдает насыщенность и углы обзора.
Программные возможности включают в себя виджеты для рабочего стола (ограниченный набор без возможности расширения), доступные изначально программы исполняют лишь основные системные и организационные функции. Реализация медиавозможностей в Touch исполнена без особого рвения. Например, в модели отсутствует 3,5 мм разъем, что не позволяет его рассматривать в качестве полноценной замены плееру.
Каким преимуществом обладает МТС Touch по сравнению с конкурентами от более известных брендов? Уступая им с точки зрения функциональности, он может похвастаться лишь скромной ценой. Впрочем, для многих этот момент является решающим.

 Acer beTouch E140
Acer beTouch E140 относится к Android-смартфонам начального уровня. Он компактный и легкий, полностью сделан из глянцевого пластика. Дисплей характеризуется разрешеним 240х320 пикселей. В роли центрального процессора — 600-мегагерцовый чип ARM 11, а объем оперативной памяти равен 256 МБ. Программно смартфон базируется на Android 2.2. Следует признать, что для модели начального уровня это вполне адекватные характеристики. Особенно радует поддержка HSPA-сетей, которые могут обеспечить быстрое подключение к сети. В свою очередь, модуль WLAN и сопутствующее программное обеспечение позволяет использовать Е140 в качестве беспроводного модема. Мультимедийный функционал представлен 3,2-мегапиксельной встроенной камерой, аудио-видео плеером и FM-тюнером.
В итоге, у beTouch Е140 выделяются как негативные моменты (недостаточно качественный дисплей, глянцевый корпус), так и положительные (поддержка HSPA-сетей, использование Android Froyo). Однозначно привлекает лишь демократичная цена.

 Apple iPhone 4
Последний смартфон Apple примечателен более тонким корпусом, полностью переработанным дизайном и многочисленными мелкими улучшениями. Самым значительным среди них определенно является дисплей, разрешение которого составляет 960х640 пикселей — это самое большое разрешение среди телефонов/смартфонов на данный момент.
Начинка в «четверке» также не подвела: смартфон обладает гигагерцовым процессором и 512 МБ ОЗУ, даже с учетом дебютировавшей многозадачности и добавления ранее отсутствовавших функций (тот же видеозвонок, к примеру), предъявить нарекание к быстродействию аппарата нельзя. Обновленная программная платформа стала «лекарством» для противников бывшей ограниченности iOS. Камера также изменилась в лучшую сторону, разрешение составило 5 Мп.
Высокая популярность смартфону обеспечена не только за счет узнаваемого бренда, но и заинтересованности владельцев предыдущих iPhone поменять свою модель на более современную версию, так и новопривлеченными покупателями, которых раньше останавливали программные особенности.

New iPhone5 is coming this summer
It is possible that Apple iPhone Smartphone 5, the appearance of which was expected last year, will be presented this summer. On the specifics of his prototype the resource officer 9to5 Mac Foxconn, who last year warned to prepare iPhone 4S. Therefore, it is hoped that this time his story turns out to be true.
From the story of the source, it follows that there are now several prototypes of the iPhone 5, which differ from each other. However, a number of features they share. All the prototypes have a 4 "screen, a uniform thickness of the shell, rather than aft, as previously reported in the form. One of the displays made by LG.

All devices are different from iPhone models 4 and 4S length and width of the body. All prototypes are being tested.
Smartphone with two displays.
As we all know, RIM which produces products under the brand BlackBerry, is experiencing today not the best of times. Many expert think that to save the Canadian manufacturer can only wonder, or some custom revolutionary idea. This idea embodies a new work of John Anastasiadis, which was called the 2012 BlackBerry.
RIM Blackberry new smartphone
The smartphone is equipped with a display that wraps from the front panel for the side face and covers the entire back surface. One is in the real world would leave no chance of any iPhone 4S, nor Nokia N9. Double-sided touch screen, in particular, to use the rear surface of a touchpad, the game controller or a tool to manage your Web browser.
The asymmetric shape BlackBerry 2012 makes it easy to determine the correct orientation of the phone without looking at him. On the body there is only one hardware button, fully customizable, for example, to lock the screen or call the camera application.
At least 80millions of smartphones will support NFC this year
Smartphones that support short-range communication NFC, it becomes more and more. As predicted by analysts IMS Research, in the current year to supply 80 million units - more than twice more than was left on store shelves in 2011.
NFC-Logo
In absolute numbers in 2012 is forecast at IMS Research, will be shipped 80 million smart phones that support NFC, versus 35 million of such products in 2011. These figures do not include products Apple, but if the Cupertino company will equip the next generation iPhone supporting NFC, then the total supply of smart phones to support this type of connection to the end of the year will be able to overcome the barrier of 100 million units.
No less intense growth promised and communication devices with LTE. If last year of such models on the market were one, then at the beginning of this year at CES 2012 well-known companies - Samsung Electronics , Motorola Mobility , HTC , Sony and LG Electronics - showed at least one smartphone with support for LTE. Previously, we recall that we have already quoted industry sources regarding data LTE-market smartphones, expected that this year their amount will be 25-30 million.

The appearance of LG X3 on markets is expected in late spring or early summer, however, announcement of the product may take place much earlier - in one month at the Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona.
Samsung has introduced low-cost phones and Star 3 Star 3 DUOS
Samsung is noted by official announcement about the release of two new phones with touch screens, - Samsung Star 3 and Samsung Star 3 DUOS. New items are presented as a budget alternative to expensive smartphones, but with sufficient functionality.
Both devices have similar characteristics, but the only difference between them is the support of two SIM cards model Star 3 DUOS.

CES 2012: review of new devices from Motorola!
CES 2012: review of new devices from Motorola!
We continue to meet with the presented at CES 2012 innovations. Scale and the announcement was noted by Motorola Mobility, which is now owned by Google. Under its brand in the near future will come five new Android-smartphone.
All models are updated range of Motorola, of course, running Android. Despite this predictability, there is much to see and what surprised. Results showed four new Motorola handset, or rather, even the four "and a half." One of smartphones, which brought with Motorola, was not a novelty, and previously released a device with a slightly updated look.
Motorola DROID 4
Successor of the famous line of DROID, which is better known in our area as MILESTONE, is the number 4 smartphone. Sad, but he, like DROID 3, is designed exclusively for the U.S. operator Verizon. The device was radio, which supports not only the networks CDMA, and GSM, so that with a strong desire to use them will be in our country, however, "gray" ways. In addition, it is one of the pioneers of network LTE, so that the machine is about to tell in detail.
Motorola DROID 4
Many journalists have already called DROID best available today klaviaturnikov. With this you can bet. However, if not the best, then one of his best deservedly be called. As with all previous Android-smartphone from Motorola, at the time of his appearance, he largely avoids the competition on the part of the hardware.

In hardware terms of innovation is consistent with modern ideas about how to be smart in business class. Powerful dual core processor, large memory capacity, ample storage for content and support the most advanced data networks is clearly spoken in favor of what we see is one of the best examples in his weight class. And with the release of update Ice Cream Sandwich DROID four more will be even closer to the privileged club of the best smartphones of today. But note that relative to the previous model, the device has undergone significant changes are not so. Remained the same display, camera, processor (except clock), and most wireless capabilities.
Keyboard Motorola DROID 4
Design a painfully familiar, at least three previous models DROID. The body is made from high quality black plastic, which is typical for models of the business class. In terms of the size of a smartphone has become a little wider and longer, but significantly gained weight, albeit a little "lost." The screen is quite good, but nothing more. Below the display are four keys typical for Android. And in the center of attention, of course, QWERTY-keyboard.
The large square keys are somewhat similar to the island keyboard laptops. Each of them is illuminated white, not only through the applied notation, but also on the perimeter.
Sidebar Motorola DROID 4
In terms of ergonomics, smart and on top. Confused, of course, its considerable weight, but strong masculine hands (and DROID obviously not created for women), it is quite appropriate. In addition, the large display makes operation very easy. Sales of Motorola DROID 4 start in the first quarter of 2012. I think that, like all the "drones", this smartphone will become very popular, especially at home.
Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX
Another Android-smartphone, which has brought Motorola to exhibit significantly stands out from the crowd of numerous such devices with one unique index - huge capacity battery.
Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX front and rear
RAZR MAXX does not have analogues on this indicator. It was no joke: the battery capacity is 3300 mAh. However, the smartphone has other advantages.

| Battery | Li-Ion, removable, 3300 mAh |
| Dimensions and weight | 130.7 x 68.9 x 9 mm, 145 g |
It is amazing how the creators managed to equip the DROID RAZR MAXX such a big battery with such a modest scale. Externally, the smartphone is very similar to all other devices of the family DROID, but compares favorably with a small thickness. The structure of the body resembles that of Nokia N8 through the beveled corners.
Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX in perspective
In general, a fairly wide body, which is not surprising, given the screen size - 4.3 inches. The display is very good: large size, high resolution and technology Super AMOLED screen makes DROID RAZR MAXX one of the best available today. Reserve enough brightness for comfortable operation, even in bright sunlight. If you add a cover glass Gorilla Glass, it turns almost ideal. Underneath the display are identical to the previous model sensor control keys.
It makes no sense to describe the hardware platform, it is almost identical DROID 4. However, there is one major difference (besides the aforementioned battery pack). It is a combined navigation module, which, in addition to GPS, has supported the Russian GLONASS system.
The thickness of Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX clearly
In terms of ergonomics smartphone is questionable impression. On the one hand - and a great quality screen, slim body and a huge battery life. On the other - larger sizes that make DROID RAZR MAXX is not very welcome in your pocket. However, in recent years in the world mobilprome tendency to produce smartphones with even larger dimensions, so that in the context HTC Titan and Samsung Galaxy Note, our hero is not such a major one. Everything is relative after all.
Battery life is fascinating. In offline mode, the phone can remain operational for more than two weeks, and the talk time - 21 hours. The latter figure is by far a record. What, in fact, sought Motorola, encroaching on the laurels of Philips and supplying DROID RAZR MAXX so capacious battery.
As DROID 4, novelty is intended primarily for Verizon and will be available in the coming months. About the Russian market still can not hear anything, but let's hope that soon we will be able to see it.
Motorola Defy Mini
Motorola smartphone has got another device that is protected from external influences, along with the Defy and Defy +. New feature called Motorola Defy Mini, which explicitly makes it clear that it is somewhat easier than with the older models.
Motorola Defy Mini in a "natural" form
The main advantage of these smart phones - their security, not the hardware. Obviously, the Defy Mini substantially loses released a few months ago Sony Ericsson Xperia Active.

Motorola Defy Mini |

| Form Factor | monoblock |
| Operating system | Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) |
| Processor | One core clock frequency of 600 MHz |
| Memory | 512 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM + slot microSDHC (up to 32 GB) |
| Mobile communication / data transfer | GSM / UMTS 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, GPRS / EDGE, HSDPA / HSUPA |

| Camera | 3.2 MP, flash, video recording |
| Battery | Li-Ion, removable, 1650 mAh |
| Dimensions and weight | 109 x 58.5 x 12.6 mm, 107 g |
Very much in the hardware stuffing your smartphone to date looks archaic. In particular this applies to the camera.
Faceplate Motorola Defy Mini
Does not inspire confidence and weak by today's standards processor with a clock frequency of 600 MHz. However, it has also a positive point: very long battery - for three weeks. The screen uses a TFT-matrix, and has a modest resolution of 320x480, which is typical for displays, entry-level smartphones. On top of it is protected by glass Gorilla Glass.
The rear panel Motorola Defy Mini
In terms of appearance Motorola Defy Mini is simple and somewhat similar to cheap smartphones Samsung. The body is made of soft touch plastic, black and silver. By the way, would not be quite correct to make the smartphone from the expensive and spectacular-looking materials, if known in advance that he will fall into various scrapes. Nevertheless, the aforementioned Xperia Active looks much more effective.
As for the Motorola Defy Mini as a companion for outdoor enthusiasts, here he must show himself very well. Protected on all sides, so even with the battery life, the smartphone will have on the disposition of this category of users. European sales of the device will start in February. Price is not specified.
Motorola Motoluxe
The latest novelty, cooked for us by Motorola, is a compromise between functionality and price - I must say, very good compromise. When the external effectiveness and good value complete Motorola Motoluxe be significantly lower than in solutions with similar functionality from other manufacturers. Most likely, the U.S. and Europe smartphone will be issued free of charge at the conclusion of a two-year contract.
Faceplate Motorola Motoluxe
I must say that Motoluxe not quite correct to call a novelty. In November last year, the smartphone was introduced in China under the name XT615, but the market still do not have time. Perhaps the sale of two twin brothers will begin at the same time.

Motoluxe austere but elegant. Housing smartphone rectangular shape with a slight rounding at the corners. In general, look pretty attractive, but the device will look good only in male hands. The body is made from high quality plastic, which has little texture, reminiscent of a book cover.
Motorola Motoluxe. Back view
Front panel of the smartphone is very similar to that of the first model, DROID, but has its own "twist" in the form of asymmetry in the lower part. For management, but the touch screen, there are all the same four softkeys. The display itself is good, but far from ideal - it is a large, standard-definition 854h480, but is made by TFT technology and is not well read in the sun.
In hardware terms this is an easy dissonance. Motoluxe was not the most advanced processor with 800 MHz and 512 MB of RAM. Due to the fact that the processor is already rather out of date, smartphone, equipped with an excellent 8-megapixel camera can not capture video either in 1080p, or even at 720p. Well, the trade-offs are not always pleasant. With regard to communications, they are at a decent level.
Motorola Motoluxe
Ergonomics at the height of the smartphone. This is facilitated by the optimal size and a fresh user interface Moto Switch 2.0, which is the next stage of development Motoblur. Overall impression of the device are also positive, except for some hardware nuances that I wrote above. Sales of Motorola Motoluxe, as Defy Mini, will start in February. Unfortunately, the price not yet known.
Results
Motorola well prepared for CES 2012. Presented novelty can meet the needs of almost any user. Among others, the only openly female model, which, however, is not so bad: the company released earlier with ultra-slim RAZR which now will be sold in a pretty purple color.
Motorola RAZR in the purple version
Due to such wide coverage of Motorola can improve their situation, which in recent years has been so disappointing that led to the accession of the company to Google. Of course, everything will depend on the value of new products, but it is likely that prices will be adequate.

As we already mentioned in the news, soon expected to announce a new flagship smartphone from Samsung Electronics Company - Samsung Galaxy S III , perhaps, the model will be presented at the MWC 2012 in February. However, it is lit up at the press conference the manufacturer at the recent exhibition of CES. Although the device is visible on the video presentation for a few seconds and it is not clear whether this Samsung Galaxy S III, but at least, the device was not previously known, so it is possible that this is the new flagship.

You may notice that the device actually looks like a Galaxy representative of the ruler of a new generation. It is equipped with a large display with a slim bezel. Moreover, the context is clear that this is a smartphone, not a media player or something like that - we are interested in a piece of the video explains how to remotely control a camera provided at CES Samsung WB850F by telephone and an example is given that the most mysterious image of a possible Samsung Galaxy S III . Enjoy this gorgeous spectacle can be starting 7 minutes 11 seconds of video, though not for long.
Recall on the characteristics of the upcoming new know some unofficial details. It is assumed that the machine receives the operating system Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich , quad-core processor, touch screen display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels (Super AMOLED Plus) and 12 megapixel integrated camera.

Samsung Galaxy SII
In particular, the British retailer Mobicity posted on its website information on the Samsung Galaxy S II HD (E120s), but then it was removed. However, soon after the details were found on the Australian site Mobicity. Samsung Galaxy S II HD is equipped with high-resolution screen - 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD, 1280x720 pixels, it is quite clear hints of his name.
The device is running an operating system Android Gingerbread 02/03 , built on a dual core processor with 1.5 GHz, equipped with 8 megapixel camera and a battery capacity of 1850 mAh. Sales of the new smartphone, at least in the Australian online store Mobicity, has already begun. Cost of Samsung Galaxy S II HD is 749 Australian dollars there without a contract with any operator, is equivalent to about 778.5 U.S. dollars. But we can not exclude the possibility that this is just a "gray" machines, imported from the native Korean market, especially considering that the code is entered in the E120s labeling scheme Samsung in Korea.
CES 2012: Hot news on Windows Phone 7 HTC Titan II and Nokia Lumia 900
A typical course for many producers - to present their new products (if not all, at least part of) the day before the exhibition. Thus party guarantees attention from the media do not risk that his newsroom occasion get lost among the others. So it was at CES, so it will be at MWC.

Nokia Lumia 900
At different times, so there were a variety of companies, well, in case the current in these days of CES 2012 in Las Vegas on that path went Nokia, announced the new smartphone Lumia WP7-900. Numbering of models is logical to assume that this is a direct heir Lumia 800, issued in October last year. However, when meeting with the novelty, it is clear that it is not a typical example of the update. Innovation is not so much.
Lumia 900 Nokia booth at CES 2012
Take, for example, the external appearance. It seems that Nokia decided to consolidate corporate identity Lumia, unify it for the line. By the hallmark series include Unibody-housing and polycarbonate as the main material used. We liked design N9, and then Lumia 800 - just like Lumia and 900. The smartphone is pleasant to the touch, gives the impression of a strong, sustained damage to the model. In addition, it is very ergonomic: rounded side faces, rather than upper and lower bounds (as it is often). The exhibition joke that Nokia has decided to be different from the Apple and therefore "licked" the other angles - but objectively it is a very good solution.
Nokia Lumia 900
If we compare the Lumia Lumia 900 800, it is important to note two differences. First - it's increased dimensions: 127.8 x 68.5 x 11.5 mm to 116.5 x 61.2 x 12.1 mm. As can be seen on the characteristics of the new smartphone even a little thinner than its predecessor. Weight increased from 142 to 160 grams, which, of course, well there. The second addition - the front camera for video calls. Its resolution is 1 megapixel.
Characteristics of the main camera have not changed: an 8-megapixel module with optics Carl Zeiss, 28mm and aperture 2.2. The user also has a dual LED flash.
We now turn to the display. It is because of the display Lumia Lumia larger 900 Steel 800. As in many other models of hi-end level, the screen is protected by glass Gorilla Glass. Matrix is the technology Super AMOLED, in addition, Nokia says the use of technology ClearBlack. The technology comes to having a special coating on the screen that makes blacks more profound (as in the plasma TV). By definition pictures Lumia 900 and inferior to his "cousin", and iPhone 4/4S, and in the future - the new flagship Android-smartphone models from different manufacturers with conventional standard resolution of 1280x720 pixels.
In terms of hardware features Lumia 900 does not offer anything new - it has a single core processor with Scorpion 1.4 GHz, a graphics accelerator Adreno 205. RAM is 512 MB, 16 GB user. This built-in memory, no expansion slots, like Nokia Lumia 800 and Nokia N9.
But perhaps the most fundamental difference between 900 and Lumia Lumia 800 - support for LTE. Recall the use of LTE networks can download data at speeds up to 50 Mbit / s, send up to 25 Mbit / sec. For comparison, using the profile of HSPA + Speed transfer and shipment will be 21 and 5.76 Mbit / s, respectively.
Nokia Lumia 900
The software also does not include anything new. In the role of the software platform is still used Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, with the already familiar interface Metro. Nokia expanded its range of standard software applications Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive, designed for navigation. Also in the standard package added proprietary applications CNN and ESPN, which met earlier in the Symbian-smartphones Nokia.
What is interesting is entered into an agreement with EA release 20 games for Windows Phone. As the release of these games will get their first smartphone was Lumia - a bonus that Nokia will try to distinguish themselves from other manufacturers in the category of Windows Phone. The advantage, in our opinion very questionable.
Lumia 900 is primarily intended for the U.S. market. This is shown by many factors: the "keynote address," Elop intention to re-discover America, and start selling it at one of the U.S. operators (AT & T) c likely delay the European release, and, finally, the rate at LTE. So far, this profile is not used actively network in Europe and across the Atlantic.
HTC Titan II
One day, the Nokia HTC has demonstrated its LTE-smartphone on the Windows Phone Mango - Titan II. It seems, CES 2012 will mark a new round of competition among manufacturers of smart phones - now the focus is on technology, LTE. On the one hand, this is due to reach maximum level in the technology race, on the other - by the spread and put into commercial operation in the fourth-generation networks around the world.
A little before we became acquainted with the novelty Nokia Lumia 900, which was found to not be symbolic of changes compared to its predecessor - Lumia 800. Titan II, by contrast, would be interesting even without the support networks of LTE.
HTC Titan II
Like the original Titan, a new smartphone is very big, if not great. The display is as much as 4.7 inches, and perhaps this is a reasonable maximum for that device was a smartphone. A little more, and would have made smartshet like Samsung Galaxy Note.
The developers managed to reduce the weight of the new model smartphone with 160 g to 147 Virtually the entire body is made of a Titan II for HTC traditional plastic with soft-touch coating. Externally, Titan II is a little fresher predecessor, as the foreground color is selected body light gray.
Display settings are compared with the original model did not change. With such an impressive diagonal matrix resolution is no longer in wow-effect. It remains at 800x480 pixels. It turns out that the density of pixels in this display is 199 pixels / inch. Most fans will have a clear picture is not for everyone. Fortunately, this is the only major gripe with respect to the display - the rest of the Super LCD matrix pleases. Color reproduction and rich at the same time natural, viewing angles close to 180 degrees.
The hardware is also not new news - it's Scorpion processor with 1.5 GHz, 512 MB of RAM. With the addition of a module LTE in Titan II uses an updated chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon S2. Titan II software also devoid of any novelty - used a well-known operating system Windows Phone 7.5 Mango.
HTC Titan II
In addition to supporting LTE, a Titan II is another strong trump card. This is his camera. Its resolution sets new record for mobile devices and up to 16 megapixels. Thus, the maximum photo resolution is 4640 x 3480 pixels. Photomodule built on the sensor on the back illumination for better quality when shooting in dim light. Judging by the first reviews, Titan II could claim leadership not only in the race numbers - the quality of received frames exceeds photos, taken on other smartphones. Argue with him on the picture quality can Sony Xperia S and iPhone 4S. However, both the smartphone markedly inferior to the resolution.
The smartphone allows you to record video at resolutions up to 720p (sorry, that was not implemented support for Full HD). In addition, there is a front camera with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels, which is slightly better than the Nokia Lumia 900.
