Best Mobile Phones in the market or coming soon (Part 2)

BlackBerry Z30

BlackBerry promised a selection of devices in 2013 on the new BlackBerry 10 platform and it seems there's another, larger, model to sit about the BlackBerry Z10.

Named as the BlackBerry Z30, there's no official word from the struggling company, but a series of leaks reveal some of the details. We're looking at a 5-ich display giving you more room to play, along with wireless charging. There's talk of a 720p resolution on that display, which might not appeal to those Android users looking at a 1080p display, but if you want to go large with BlackBerry, then this might be the way.

No confirmation yet as to when we might see the device launch.

 HTC One Max

The HTC One and the HTC One mini are both a hit with us: we rate the HTC One as the best phone you can get right now, but that could be swept aside if the rumours of a larger HTC One model prove to be correct. Our own sources tell us that a larger device is coming and there have been plenty of leaks detailing what we might expect.

First up is a 5.9-inch full HD display, putting the HTC One Max into phablet territory. This is joined by the rumour of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, meaning plenty of power.

It should also retain the features of the HTC One family that we love: that will mean you're looking at a slick aluminium design, twin front-facing BoomSound speakers and the rear UltraPixel camera.

All will be pulled together by the lovely HTC Sense 5 user interface layered over Android. There's no official confirmation, but there's a world of rumours building for the HTC One Max.

Nokia Lumia 1520

Nokia isn't staying quiet. There may be some wranglings between old Nokia and Microsoft, but there's also a huge device in the wings. Yes, the Nokia Lumia 1520 has made a few well-timed leaks, purporting to be a 6-inch 1080p Windows Phone.

There's little to go on at the moment, but we're looking at Nokia taking Windows Phone to a new dimension. The leaked display shots, however, don't show much of a change from previous Windows Phone devices: will this simply give you more on the display, or will it make better use of the space on offer?

There's no word on timing, but it's believed to be looking at a launch in 2013.

Apple iPhone 5C



Apple has announced the iPhone 5C, which lands with the internals of the old iPhone 5, adds a dab of additional LTE support, an update to iOS 7 and wraps it in a plastic body.

It brings colours to the iPhone have haven't been there before and a slightly lower price point. It's not a huge discount, but remember that this is essentially an iPhone 5 in a plastic body, so it's still a top-notch device.

The iPhone 5C will be available from 20 September and pre-orders for the handset will be commencing on 13 September.




Apple iPhone 5S

It seemed likely that Apple would update the internals of the iPhone 5S and leave the exterior mostly the same, and that's just what they did. The iPhone 5S is physically very close to the previous model, but the front fingerprint scanner is an obvious change.

There's an updated 64-bit A7 processor, a new M7 coprocessor to handle motion, and an upgraded camera and flash. There's also wider LTE support, with Apple saying it supported all flavours of 4G.

It all comes wrapped in a shiny new iOS 7 package, delivering that familiar Apple experience, but with less clutter than previous models. The Apple iPhone 5S will be available from 20 September.

Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch

Wrist watches, smart or otherwise, are simply not for everyone -- there are more smartphone users in the world, many times over, than there will ever be smartwatch owners. Despite the limited market for such a device, however, Samsung's decided it's time to join in on the fun. The Galaxy Gear, as we've known it to be called for a few weeks now, was hardly guarded with a level of secrecy that's become standard for a flagship smartphone, but as the device is finally official -- and expected to launch in more than 100 countries within weeks.

The centerpiece of the Galaxy Gear, as you may have read by now, is a 320 x 320-pixel, 1.63-inch AMOLED touchscreen. There's a speaker and a pair of mics for recording and playing back video content and communicating with a caller via the built-in dialer, which works with the native phone app in your connected Galaxy device. The Gear includes an 800MHz processor, a 315mAh battery, and -- in a somewhat surprising twist -- a BSI sensor and autofocus lens mounted in the wrist strap that's tasked with capturing 1.9-megapixel stills and 10-second video clips at 720p, 640 x 640 or VGA resolution with sound. That camera, designed for on-the-go captures where convenience, not image quality, is a priority, is paired with a pre-installed app called Memographer. That application, and dozens of others that will be available at launch, are key to boosting the Gear's appeal, and setting it apart from the competition.

Experience new mobile communications freedoms

Samsung GALAXY Gear lets users to live in the moment while staying connected to their Samsung GALAXY devices. It notifies users of incoming messages, such as calls, texts, emails and alerts, delivers a preview of those messages and creates the opportunity for users to accept or discreetly ignore those messages. When an incoming message requires more than a quick glance, users can simply pick up their Samsung GALAXY devices and the Smart Relay feature will instantly reveal the full content on the screen.

Voice operation

The built-in speaker allows users to conduct hands-free calls directly from the Gear, maintaining connections to their mobile communications without disrupting their daily routines. For example, a user leaving the grocery store, whose hands are full with shopping bags, could still make a call by speaking into the GALAXY Gear without touching the screen. Users can also draft messages, create new calendar entries, set alarms, and check the weather on the GALAXY Gear with S Voice.

Capture daily life from your wrist

In addition to enabling smart device controls, Samsung GALAXY Gear introduces several features that help users easily capture life’s meaningful moments which otherwise might be missed. With the Memographer feature, a 1.9 Megapixel camera, users who are on the move or participating in physical activities can record both photos and video to create quick, visual records of important information or events from their daily lives, as well as share them on their social networks. Extending the quick-record concept, Voice Memo lets users capture important thoughts or conversations from their wrists and save those voice recordings into texts on their Samsung GALAXY devices.

A growing list of controls for favorite features

With the GALAXY Gear, users gain a wide range of favorite features that further increase the benefits of this new accessory. New security enhancement Auto Lock automatically secures the companion smartphone screen any time that GALAXY Gear is more than 1.5 meters away from the smartphone, and then unlocks the smartphone when the companion devices are near each other again. Find My Device helps users find the location of their smart devices when they have been misplaced by making them beep, illuminate and vibrate. With Samsung GALAXY Gear, users can also control the music played on their Samsung GALAXY devices. As with traditional music players, it helps users browse, play and pause songs even when their smart device is not within reach. Finally, the GALAXY Gear also works like a Pedometer to track physical activity via enhanced, built-in sensor technology. This feature systematically and automatically monitors users so they can track key personal data such as calories burned, steps taken and distance covered.

Standalone Watch and Iconic Fashion Accessory

Samsung GALAXY Gear embodies understated elegance. Its refined design, executed in, high-quality finishes, conjures images of luxury jewelry while still being understated enough to go well with any outfit. A rounded and simple flowing form wraps around the body, integrating with the user’s personal environment, and maintaining comfort at all times. The GALAXY Gear also serves as a wristwatch and includes several face options that create the opportunity for users to personalize their watch face. It will come preloaded with 10 different clock options and more choices will be downloadable via Samsung Apps. The GALAXY Gear experience can be further personalized by selecting from six colors that will be available at launch: Jet Black, Mocha Gray, Wild Orange, Oatmeal Beige, Rose Gold, and Lime Green.


Samsung GALAXY Gear will be launched with the GALAXY Note 3 in more than 140 countries around the world starting from September 25.
