HTC Max One: launch October 15?

Announced for the fourth quarter of 2013, the HTC Max One should soon emerge from the shadows. It has also obtained the necessary certification to its marketing in China should therefore delay.

We are now here in the last quarter of the year, the final stretch for manufacturers who intend to get their news in time for the holiday season online. Something tells us then that the second variation of the One announced by HTC should not be very far. There is obviously no question of HTC Max One who has also just visit the Chinese organization in charge of validating the compliance of electronic devices prior to marketing in its territory.
The visit as often resulted in souvenir photos that we take turns a little lower from the Chinese siteWeibo. This is a further opportunity to note that the HTC One Max will have well a biometric sensor at the rear, the famous UltraPixel sensor or three of these connectors in the lower right corner.The front of the terminal has unsurprisingly a 6 "screen, waited with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, identified by two speakers HTC BoomSound.

The source also added a small comment on the announcement of the terminal. It would be 15 October, slightly less than three weeks.

HTC Beats crowds but would continue to provide the treatment Beats Audio

Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Beats was going to redeem all of its shares to the manufacturer HTC . It is now official,NASDAAQ reports that the Taiwanese, who still held 25% of the company, has just say goodbye against a whopping $ 265 million. For the record, he had initially invested $ 300 million to make Beats principal shareholder in 2011 with 51% share, before giving up the first half a year later. The transaction then was based on the purchase price of the shares concerned, or $ 150 million, despite the growing importance of the company headed by rapper Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine that year.

The manufacturer is doing obviously better this time almost doubling the value of its investment.Then difficult to say whether there is actually a bad thing for HTC, whose current financial situation is not the most comfortable. Especially since it would keep Beats confirmed by his side to continue to offer the Beats Audio processing with its upcoming smartphones. For its part, Beats will soon be able to integrate new investors in its loop and begin new projects for which he longs for some time.This should include launch its music streaming service soon, and could turn to automotive equipment. The transaction is expected to close at the end of the year.

The update to Android 4.3 HTC One has already begun

If Jelly Bean version of Android 4.2 for HTC One continues gradually to unfold across the world, make us believe that Android 4.3 Jelly Bean is on track. Indeed, the Taiwanese company intends to keep its promise by deploying the latest update of the mobile operating system from Google on its flagship devices. Moreover, this update has already begun on the HTC Developer Edition One.

Thus, the new software version number 3.22.1540.1 door series and weighs 564.04 MB The course brings several new features such as multimedia interface in the galleries among others, and also corrects several shortcomings as the transfer of screen to purple when launching the camera application. The 5 Sense overlay will also receive some improvements in the updated HTC One to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

This update seems not only affects people who have a developer HTC One edition, as some users say they have already received the international version of their smart phone. This means that you can start to check the updated portion of your device to see if Android 4.3 is available for installation. If this is not the case, it probably will happen in a few weeks (or days).

The HTC One Max poses next to a Samsung Galaxy Note 3

New pictures of the HTC One max come to surface. The terminal is revealed alongside the last two Samsung Galaxy Note, the opportunity to get an idea of ​​its size but also that it contains.

Now that Samsung has announced Galaxy Note 3, is to turn that HTC eyes in search of the next phablette ahead. The fact that Taiwan is preparing a version of its One in such a format does little more doubt, it is still to formalize. For now, this is a new series of shots at least informally as you can see on the Chinese site Weibo , for some have a user account. The HTC One Max, his first name, there also appears to be in good company, surrounded by the Galaxy Note Galaxy Note 2 and 3. Perfect to get an idea of ​​the template device which rumors lend a screen of 5.9 "anyway.

HTC Max One - Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - Samsung Galaxy Note 2

3 Samsung Galaxy Note - HTC One max

It is no surprise that the HTC phablette than those of Samsung, but not by much. In width at least, thanks to an extremely narrow bezel. In length, is another story. One worthy heir of HTC's first name, the One Max obviously also embeds the BoomSound technology and therefore has two speakers on the front, which obviously takes a little space. The pictures also reveal a removable rear cover, confirm support of 4G networks and are primarily the result of AnTuTu.

The result in question is also somewhat disappointing, "only" 26,417, a score worthy of the Snapdragon HTC One in 600. So it seems that finally animate the machine, along with the Adreno 320 GPU, while rumors rather sensed a Snapdragon 800. A configuration that can be found amongst its main competitors, whether the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the Sony Xperia Z Ultra or maybe even the Nokia Lumia 1520 expected next month. Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) screen is confirmed for many hours.

This information will obviously be confirmed during the announcement of the device, as well as the presence or absence of a biometric sensor .

One HTC: Android 4.3 Jelly Bean on departure

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean invest soon HTC One worldwide. The deployment of the update will start visibly in the United States, before winning the old continent shortly after.

While Android 4.4 KitKat already seems far, most manufacturers are still working on their update to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. At last, the first to make its copy should be since its HTC One should benefit from the end of September. A schedule that has obviously managed to meet if we are to believe the head of its U.S. subsidiary, Jason Mackenzie.
This is in response to a user on Twitter that the leader has confirmed the arrival of the update on schedule for the United States. Its deployment would then have to start soon, so it should not take too long in Europe either. Evidenced by a picture of a blue HTC One running the latest version of the Google OS reset our colleagues GSM Arena from the IFA in Berlin. Must obviously add to that the time operators deploys turn for terminals purchased from them.

Samsung should it begin to deploy Android 4.3 on its high-end range in October. Sony has, meanwhile, still not announced a date. Patience.

Automation Samsung and HTC are planning to implement the ZigBee protocol

Technology: The Next Samsung Galaxy devices should integrate wireless communication protocol ZigBee in order to control home automation devices are compatible. HTC count do the same.

The "home smartphone" he will be the next segment on which manufacturers will rush? Samsungand HTC seem to believe. According to Pocket-lint site, both companies intend to adopt ZigBee technology in their future smartphones.

This communication protocol short wire is particularly suitable for automation. The idea would be able to control some facilities of a home, such as lighting and heating, from its smartphone.Samsung reportedly plans to equip the next Galaxy chip ZigBee. The Korean firm is a member of the ZigBee Alliance, which manages the standard.

HTC have also intends to embark on the "home smartphone market," but his plans are not known. (Eureka Press)

Testing an HTC 8s

Last week the store sold a mobile phone with Windows Phone 8, specifically a HTC 8s . We are slowly rising sales of these products. Customers understand that most of the time it is better to purchase a phone directly, and then have the freedom to pursue telecommunications company best price and service they give.

But hey, let basic math classes and get back to HTC 8s. It was the first phone with Windows Phone 8 we sold, so we wanted to see them up close. Most free phones we sell are usually Android, then iPhone and last year also sold a Windows Phone 7,.

The genesis of the sale was at least curious. I mean, if someone reads Microsoft marketing, could learn a lot. The client a month ago came to renew your desktop PC. It took a team of small size, much like this . But mechanical disk changed by an SSD and added a LED monitor 24 "and a Windows 8 license.

When the PC went to ride him, spent some time (as we are doing with all the clients who buy a PC with Windows 8) explaining how to use the Metro, the way to have synchronized the agent and mobile email. And the client liked the new interface of Windows 8. So much so that when he returned after a few weeks for a new phone, their first choice was a phone with Windows Phone 8. Here are some very important and interesting synergies, but that manufacturers offer Windows 8 not being exploited at all, which is a shame.

Well, again I've gone out on a limb, I'll see if I can talk about the HTC 8s. Key technical features of the phone are:

• Size: 120x63x10 mm
• Display Size: 4 inches
• Screen Resolution: WVGA, 480 × 800 pixels we
• Capacitive screen and multitouch course glass and Gorilla Glass protection
• Weight: 115 grams
• Sim Type: MicroSim
• Processor: Dual-core 1 GHz Krait
• Graphics Processor: Adreno 305
• RAM: 512 megs
• Memory Internal storage: 4 GB
• Supports microSD memory cards
• Bluetooth
• Wifi
• 3G HSDPA 900/2100
• Camera 5 megapixel rear only, records video up to 720p
• GPS
• Gyro sensors, proximity and ambient light

As can be seen by reading the specification it appears that HTC has taken the 8x and will have removed some things, to leave a phone less powerful but also more economical.

Our impression using the HTC 8s

When holding the phone the first time, we note that weighs little, it's funny, every time we caught newest phone, we always have that feeling, if it weighs less. The screen has a very high quality, we note that its resolution is smaller than the high-end equipment, but the colors and contrast are well balanced. When moving the system and applications, the phone is very fast.You do not notice at all that it only takes 512 megs of RAM. Admittedly Microsoft from the point of view of resource utilization, did a great job with Windows Phone 8.

Then configure the phone with same user data that the fixed PC even assign the same virtual disk space on SkyDrive. And integration is very good. The customer takes a picture with his cell phone and when he comes home, and can be seen on the PC, same with the contacts, calendar ... and without doing anything.

The battery could not squeeze in the store, but after talking with the customer, in normal use, lasts two days. The camera, is what counts.

And for the final design, I loved it. When I took it out of the box, I thought it was in front of a modernized version of my HTC Hero ... look very similar, with the change of color on the bottom. The finish, despite being plastic, is very good.

Summary:

The HTC 8s, I see it as a mid-range phone, for users who have a Windows PC and want to follow in the Microsoft ecosystem also on your mobile. An adjusted value because its price does not exceed 300 Euros. We liked it in the store.

HTC One: the update to Android 4.3 beginning to be deployed ... but not everywhere

HTC began offering the Android 4.3 update for some of its One Taiwan and will shortly do the United States. However, no details were given for the deployment of the update in question in Europe.




Since yesterday, the HTC One begins to enjoy the update to Android 4.3 in Taiwan. Several users of the device have indeed posted on social networks screenshots showing the passage of the smartphone with the latest version of the mobile operating system from Google.

Meanwhile, Jason Mackenzie, president of HTC America, revealed through a tweet that HTC One Developer Edition sold in the United States will also benefit from the update in question in the week. He also said in a second tweet that One sold at U.S. operators will also be "soon" concerned, without elaborating.

However, not a word has filtered to the updated European HTC One hour. However, the Taiwanese manufacturer is usually pretty good when it comes to propose major upgrades, especially for its high-end models. There is therefore not much to worry about from this side ... a priori.

One to a HTC with a Octo-core processor and 3GB of RAM?

Like BlackBerry, HTC is also struggling financially as they are both excellent smartphones that have nothing to envy Smartphones current giants. What are the reasons for the financial difficulties? Mainly due to poor marketing of their product, but also a bad reputation. In any case, HTC better fate this time funds through its HTC One who has had some success. A smartphone that the Taiwanese firm has refreshed for 2014 if you believe the various rumors that just appeared.

Tech Community has indeed stipulate that the Taiwanese firm is currently working on a new version of HTC One with the key, as octo-core processor that makes us think of one or Exynos 5 octa MediaTek Qualcomm believes that designing a 8-core processor would be "stupid", and that NVIDIA has just released their Tegra 4. In fact, we hope that no concessions will be a Samsung Exynos processor as MediaTek processor does not really give a very upscale image.

In addition, the site in question indicates that the device is equipped with a 3 GB RAM, and the same screen as the HTC One (first name), that is to say, a 4.7-inch with Full HD resolution. Otherwise, UltraPixel digital camera will be at the back of the terminal will be located while in front of a camera of 2.1 MP. Finally, it is indicated that it will support the alternative WiFi a / b / g / n.

For the moment, it is unclear that the name could have this new Smartphone, and even if it is actually on track. HTC One 2 actually does not sound very good. In fact, we would opt for a One + HTC as HTC had already done the second generation HTC One X, HTC One X + last year. Furthermore, the output of Smartphone for 2014 is still to be discussed, in the sense that several other rumors indicate an official release this year as HTC would aim to offer two flagship products every year as did Samsung with the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3, Sony's Xperia Xperia Z1 and Z among others.

A fingerprint reader for HTC One Max?

Technology: A series of pictures of the upcoming HTC phablet reveal the presence of a fingerprint sensor just below the lens on the camera. Equipped with a 5.9 inch full HD display, the One Max is supposed to come out in October.

The iPhone 5S perhaps will not have long exclusivity fingerprint reader. Indeed, several photos of alleged HTC One Max posted on Chinese website Sina Weibo ( via VR-Zone ) show what looks like a sensor of the same type on the back cover (see photo), just below the camera.

With information to take precautions, especially as the location is a bit surprising at first sight and not very comfortable.

HTC Harmony: One HTC Windows Phone?

If you believe the site Windows Phone Blogging , HTC is finalizing a smartphone meet codenamed "Harmony." This would turn the feature of Windows Phone and enroll in the premium segment of the manufacturer.We already know that the update will enable GDR3 all manufacturers who wish to offer Windows Phone as powerful on the technical and the latest Android, including Full HD 1080p screens and quad core chipsets.

HTC Harmony would be part of this generation of products. Its design and features would be based in particular those of the HTC One, the current flagship of the Taiwanese. It thus embark a full HD 1080p 4.7-inch, 2 GB memory (RAM) and 32 GB of internal memory. There is no mention anywhere of the processor, but it is hard to imagine anything but a quad-core to animate the display Full HD. Similarly, no announcement date has not yet filtered. But no doubt that if this rumor is true, this should not delay.

HTC One max yet revealed its biometric sensor

Although HTC has not yet formalized its One Max, rumors have already drawn a portrait at least provided. Only the presence or not of a biometric sensor still seems to be confirmed.

The range of Samsung Galaxy Note could be hard pressed to win this year.Not that the Galaxy Note 3 particularly lack of assets but rather because the competition is now raging on the segment phablettes. Sony has already announced its Xperia Z Ultra, but it is not alone in wanting a piece of the pie as it HTC also prepare a competitor by the name of Max One.Also an aluminum design with proven earlier this year with the One, the terminal in question be based also on a high-end configuration in addition to perhaps a biometric sensor.

Some pictures of the HTC One Max had already revealed what appeared to be said sensor at the rear, embellished even a screenshot pointing dedicated parameters. The photos you will find below, from weibo come today to add to this collection. We see indeed again back of the terminal with the same square cut in the camera, and the three connectors probably dedicated to the charge wireless. New screenshots suggest also appear reference HTC 8088, as well as compatibility with GSM and LTE networks.

The HTC Max One is also expected with a full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) 5.9 "quad-core Snapdragon processor 800 2.3 GHz Qualcomm, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory expandable , all running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. should be available before the end of the year.
