What Is The Cheapest Android Phone?

By: admin

What Is The Cheapest Android Phone?For those looking to save a lot on the purchase of their next smartphone, the question, “What is the cheapest Android phone ?” is a pressing thought. The Android operating system is offered for free, so it just depends on the manufacturer to make the cheap hardware. Read on to find out about the cheapest Android phone here in this quick article.

In the search to save another dollar during the economic depression, a cheap smartphone can be hard to locate. The larger and more expensive ones are really just for those who need it for work or have money to burn. The main difference in an inexpensive and expensive Google Android phone is the speed and the screen. The menus and programs will be the same as long as you get a newer version of Android.

If you have ever heard of the Motorola Droid category of smartphones you should be familiar with the various forms that they take. They have modeled their Droids to be similar to a cult object. Some models are specialized to reflect the role of the popular Android R2D2. Some are upper end smartphones. The creator of the cell phone, Martin Cooper, even uses a Motorola Droid. He has used iPhones in the past. But never mind him, you are looking for the cheapest Android phone. Taking a closer look, you find that some of these Droids do not cost very much. One, in fact, only costs $99 dollars with a contract. It is called the Motorola Droid Eris.

This is a smartphone with two names. It has been called the Motorola “Hero” in the past. Now that it is being sold by Verizon, it has a deeply discounted price and a new name. Some are calling it, “The best Android phone for the money.”. It sports a 528 megahertz processor and a five megapixel camera. It runs an older version of Google Android; 1.5. That is an ancient version of Android, but remember, this is only costing $99 dollars. The smartphone is called a “rubbery blob”, but comes with a trackball just like the “big boys”. The operating system is covered over with the HTC Sense user interface, to make it easier on the eyes and easier to navigate the phone.

The problem with the Motoroloa Droid Eris is that it is no longer being sold. If you need to find this smartphone, a lone Verizon store may have one in the backroom somewhere. But it may be easier to look for a different model. There is one even cheaper than the Motorola Eris. Sprint has one of the cheapest Android phones. They call it the Android LG Optimus “S”. It is going for $49 dollars, but that is with a one hundred dollar rebate and a two year contract.

It seems that cell carriers are actually selling these cheap Android phones for marketing rather than for technology. This makes the smartphone a “beast of advertising” rather than something to help you get through the day. But in these trying times, the cheapest Android phone may be the only choice.

HTC EVO | EVO 4g

By: admin

It is hard to keep up with the “next big thing” online, but here in this article you have a small taste of it. The topic at hand today is the smartphone called the HTC “Evo 4G”. It uses a new technology called “WiMax”. Read on to find out the details in this quick article on the Evo.

Sprint and other companies have been building a network that is five to ten times faster than Wi-Fi. The name given to it is appropriately called; “WiMax”. The “4G” revolution has been started on this newest of networks, with the “first shot” being the big and beautifyl Evo 4G. It not only has the power to use WiMax, but also the power to crunch the huge flow of data. The Evo has a quick processor, the 1000 megahertz Qualcomm “Snapdragon”, that makes the Evo a speed demon. The full gigabyte of RAM memory means the phone is more than ready to handly your full-speed navigation. The Evo will not slow you down.

The screen is large, at 4.3 inches. The screen is handy for typing out messages or emails thanks to its big size. A manual keyboard is done away with, since it is no longer needed. The Evo 4G has four buttons on the front, which correspond to many Android devices; “home”, “search”, “menu” and “back”. The buttons are touch-style buttons, and not manual “click” style. The screen has the now-common ability to turn itself automatically. This is due to having an accelerometer inside that knows which way is “up”.

The Android system is the sweet spot with the HTC Evo 4G. What good is having a Niagra-River flow of data if you can not use it ? The user interface from HTC, called “Sense” handles the menus, which handles the navigation. The Android system coupled with the Evo can do about as much as you would do with a regular laptop or PC. Remember the Evo has a 1000 megahertz processor. Your laptop may be around twice that fast, but the programs are also much larger in size, digitally speaking. It is similar to the race between the tortoise and the hare, except this time, the tortoise has more speed. The Android applications are being cranked out by the hundreds every week. If you do not like the Android system, chances are that in a few weeks from now you will. Right now the Evo has 30,000 applications available to it, popularly called “Android apps”, that are ready to do your bidding.

The HTC Evo 4G has two cameras on board. One camera is for taking photos at breath-taking clarity and the other is for video conferencing. The camera on the back of the smartphone has an eight megapixel rating. The camera on the front has a 1.3 megapixel rating. The camera can also take video at 720p, which many call “high definition”. The Evo has a kickstand, allowing you to be able set up the Evo as a small television. If the size of the screen is not big enough, there is an HDMI connection on the bottom of the unit to connect to a television. For audio, the Evo includes a FM radio. WiMax is augmented by an EVDO wireless connection if you happen to find yourself out of the range of WiMax.

The carrier chosen for this Evo 4G smartphone is Sprint. They are already notifying their customers of a “groundbreaking device” they will have for sale. More than likely it will be the HTC Evo.

HTC Evo 4G

By: admin

Just wait till you get your first view of the latest from HTC. The HTC Evo 4G is the as-yet unknown wave of the future of mobile technology. Get the facts here in this short articel on this smartphone from HTC.

If you could take your current smartphone and give it about a five to ten times faster data connection, would you do it ? That is where WiMax and the Evo enter the picture. Wimax is more powerful than Wi-Fi for pure connection speed. Until now you could not find a smartphone to use this with this new super connection. Now you have the HTC Evo 4G. This smartphone was originally called the “Supersonic” for the obvious reason of 4G. Do not let the term “4G” confuse you, it is simply the next level in mobile advances, and uses WiMax to achieve its goals. The Evo is similar to the “first shot” in a war. It is starting a new trend.

The screen on the HTC Evo is unexpectedly large, brilliant and clear. On “first time” devices, you do not usually have a great layout. That just is not true for the Evo. The screen is a huge 4.3 inches large. That is bigger than most regular smartphone screens, including the “google phone”, the Nexus One, which also happens to be made by HTC. HTC has been working together with Google for more than a year, so that should not come as a surprise. The clarity of the Evo 4G phone is superb, at 800 by 480 pixels of resolution. It has 65,536 colors to display. This is not quite the sixteen million of some smartphones, but will still impress you with its clarity and vitality. The Android platform allows the screen to have multitouch ability. In addition, the Evo has one more ability. Pinching ( pinching the screen ) on the screen while on the home screen brings up all the other home screens that the Evo has. This is called “leap” and is particulary useful for navigation of the Evo 4G.

The hardware powering the HTC Evo is as impressive as the screen. It has a 1000 megahertz processor, the same as on the Nexus One. This speed demon keeps the navigation from ever slowing down. It is close to impossible to crash this device. The internal memory on the clocks in at 440 megabytes. The Evo has one full gigabyte of RAM. That is astounding for such a small device, but technology is advancing rapidly. A nice touch for the Evo is the kickstand. You can prop up the smartphone and watch videos without having to hold it. If you want, you can also hook up the Evo to a television or monitor with the indcluded HDMI connector.

The operating system is the nuclear-hot Android created by Google. It has over 30,000 applications ready to make your life easier. Since we are already hooked up to Google in one way or another already, why not use their operating system on your mobile device ? This allows you to connect to youtube, gmail and google talk without problems. The Android system includes the ability to wipe your personal information from the phone remotely if you should lose your Evo or have it stolen. The other applications are things that will allow you to save money, save time or make your work more productive.

The looks of the HTC Evo are basic. There is no manual keyboard, but using the big screen to type messages is less of a problem on an Evo. The smartphone comes in basic black. It has four touch buttons on the front; back, home, menu and search. All other functions are initiated on the touchscreen. The Evo has two cameras, believe it or not, one is for photos and the other is for video conferencing. The video conferencing is not up to par yet, but Sprint is working on it.

No prices and no release date is set yet for the HTC Evo 4G. Sprint has claimed they have a “groundbreaking” new device they want to show the world tomorrow. Most people “in the know” believe it will be the Evo 4G.
