All tricks computer and internet

Windows Phone Development is a new technology platform in the market in comparison to the other well known mobile development verticals. During its short tenure, it has emerged as a valuable vertical and as of now, is projecting itself as a capable competitor to the existing rivals, of the likes of Android and iOS. This article takes a dig at the most feasible reasons leading to the widespread popularity, followed by the mention of prominent apps from various Windows Phone categories that fare way better than their counterparts.

Probable Reason behind Windows Phone development

A bulk of credit to the popularity of this mobile development domain goes to the extension of the Windows Phone 8 OS to multiple devices, such as HTC, Nokia Lumia and Huawei, which has also worked actively in motivating the professionals to develop exclusive Windows Phone apps. Yet another prominent factor in this regard is Voice command, which is the latest feature addition in the Windows Phone family. This feature helps users to operate the phone and apps using voice commands. They can call, make Bing search queries, send messages and much more by merely speaking instead of typing. As obvious, it acts as a significant booster in glorifying the Windows Phone app development industry

Prominent Windows Phone app Categories

Entertainment: The Windows App store is home to a number of entertainment apps related to movies, ringtones, HD Wallpapers, painting, etc. Flixster is a widely popular application in this context, which is perhaps the best one to enjoy movie trailers, get information about show times and read out films reviews by critics. The newly introduced features of the free App also let users set movie posters as lock screens. The voice command facility is a further plus that lets the users to search information about their movies by merely speaking to the phone while the app is up and running.

Lifestyle: This is the section everyone looks forward to. Sophisticated mobile applications that could help you maintain an exquisite lifestyle are always greeted by open arms, Magic Mirror is one such noteworthy app. As the name suggests, it lets you experiment your looks with a host of fresh and fascinating color variations, hairstyles and more. You may often use it for fun or for checking out various options to choose an enticing one finally for a party. It is available at a nominal cost, engages less space, works on Windows 7.5 and 8. and leaves the users with maximum exhilaration.

Travel: The travel industry is wide and rich, and so are its apps. You can have robust tools that provide detailed info on tourism, on the other hand, some may also fetch valuable details regarding flight, metro train or bus ticket availability, stations, stops, etc. Delhi Metro App from Finoit labs is a decent Windows Phone to fit the bill. It provides all the tidbits that one can gain about first of its kind modern public transportation system in India. Users can seek its help to know about tourist places, restaurants, hotels, metro train timings, fare, smart card info and so on. It works perfectly offline and is free of cost.

What has happened to Apple? With Steve Jobs gone will it survive? The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) took this place in June and we all eagerly awaited great news... After all, Apple is the leading trendsetter right?

Finally our wait has paid off. iOS7 is due out fall of 2013. The main differences are the security features as well as a new and improved operating system. Some of the new features are as follows:

Auto update - Apple has always been known for its ability to fight off malicious malware and now it is able to update silently and automatically. This is an important function since in the past coders were able to trick users with update notifications and having them download malicious malware.

Activation Lock - Stolen devices were a large concern for users. The new activation lock prevents theirs from wiping the device clean or deactivating the find my iPhone feature. The iPhone will stay in Lost mode when you lose your phone and are forced to remote wipe it.

Safari's "Do Not Track" -This allows users to request that servers not track them - nice to have.

Per app VPN control - A VPN feature will be offered in the upcoming IOS7. The apps will configure automatically to a VPN once opened. This is nice since the data for the app will be transferred whereas other data will not.

Key chains - Thank goodness for this feature!! Password management in iCloud that will create secure passwords. Synchronization across devices is allowed for not only passwords but other confidential data. I don't know about you but my password management is less than optimal. Will this be better? We shall see. I feel as if I waste more time here than anywhere. Yes it is important, I got that, but make it easier for the user!

Improved mail- Seriously? I hope so, I have tried more and more mail clients on my Mac and still never found the right one to work well with my Mac. This will allow Microsoft Exchange 2010 users to sync notes with Outlook on their Mac or PC.

Caching Server supports iOS7. This results in faster download speeds. Updates and purchased content will be cached on a local Mac server. This will increase download speeds but double the amount.

Audio-only: FaceTime calls. This be a built-in VoIP and allow free long distance and international calls. You will be able to voice chat over Wi-Fi without a phone plan. I am sure Verizon and Att&t will not be pleased.

Inclinometer: Previous versions of iOS brought software support for the gyroscope and accelerometer; now it looks like iOS 7 will get the latest in 3D space-tracking technology: an inclinometer. Not sure if I will use this!

Call blocking: iOS 7 will have the ability to block phone numbers and email addresses.

Siri updated: Siri will be updated in many ways. She will be able to answer more questions and complete more complex tasks such as a full twitter integration and system service options. I personally never use Siri... we don't get along.

Improved notification sync and natural language: IOS 7 will sync all of your devices and in addition it will present your daily activities in natural language. Kinda like having Siri tell you your day ahead.

Faster: Caching Server supports iOS7. This results in faster download speeds. Updates and purchased content will be cached on a local Mac server. This will increase download speeds double the amount.

Auto updates for apps: With OS7 you will not need to manually update your apps. They will automatically update.

Developer APIs: There will be 1500 new developer APYs in iOS7.

60fps video: The new video will supposedly shoot at 60 frames per second.

Mobile phone apps are now a huge part of the world's mobile market and have carved out a well established industry in their own right. The design, creation and distribution of apps is big business and everyone wants in on the monolithic app market. From individuals to small businesses and beyond, the concept of having an app associated to you is a very attractive option indeed. It opens up numerous prospects and potential, spreading your brand to a mass audience. But where did apps begin and what is their history?

It may surprise some, but apps have been around in one form or another since the relative birth of the mobile phone. Way back in the early 1980's, one of the first Motorola products featured an application whereby you could look at your contacts. This is possibly the earliest example of how apps would later be used to redefine the mobile phone.

A few years later, when mobile phone technology began to allow for more practical improvements, the race for competition truly began. Games began appearing on phones for purely entertainment value. The idea that phones were only useful for communication was becoming less apparent.

The size of mobile phones began to shrink, as did their prices; all the while, their capabilities expanded. More mobile phone masts were put up across the country, meaning reception was greatly improved. The features and apps of phones were becoming more advanced by the year.

The emergence of the internet really changed everything. Before, phones may have had a calculator or notepad and a way of showing the date and time. The internet made developers see the future with added clarity. However, there was a need to 'plug' the phone into the worldwide web. Once that could be achieved, phones could have almost unlimited resources.

The problem was phones at this stage didn't adapt well to the internet. The screens simply were not advanced enough to cope with online page. Everything had to be scaled down and saturated. Not only, did the phones themselves struggle to deal with this, but it cost the user extra to access.

WAP or Wireless Application Protocol started the revolution and paved the way for finding a solution this problem. It enabled the phone to operate online pages, albeit in a limited capacity. There needed to be further breakthroughs to push the boundaries of apps ever further. In 1994, the arrival of PDA improved the previous technology and allowed phones to be greater than ever before.

As trends for wallpapers and ringtones grew with mobile technology, as well as the memory to store music and photos, the possibility for apps also grew. Year on year, mobiles became more sophisticated and featured more variety in apps, including games. The rise of the touch screen smart phone, and Apple's uniquely simple way of accessing the internet by way of apps has brought along the latest revolution. The use of app-stores has pushed the industry into the stratosphere and there is now no looking back.

The Apple World Wide developer conference back in June was not that intriguing for many Apple users and many have been consistently reading all the latest Apple news to know the release date of the most anticipated products. The company announced the release of the MacBook Air with fourth generation Intel Processor and Apple also removed the veils on the latest and the most powerful Mac Pro mainframes. However, these were not the products people were expecting from the Cupertino-based company. The most awaited products were the new iPad 5, iPad mini 2, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S, iOS 7 update for its latest iOS devices and possibly some cool new Apple Accessories.

- Why are these products being launched in this time?

When Apple CEO Tim Cook was asked about the delay in product launches, the skipper mentioned that, one can expect new products in late 2013. Indeed, September is the second half of this year and we are getting the right news, rumors, and leaked pictures, alright.

One more reason for Apple to release these products in the coming month is because of their sinking tablet market. According to a report published by IDC, Apple's tablet shares has slumped from 40% to 32% in this time and this calls for the release of new iPads.

Now let us take a look at the products that are going to be released in September of this year.

- iPhone 5C

The iPhone 5C is a cheaper version of the iPhone for people who are looking for cheap and affordable phones. Android powered phones have already taken a good chunk of the cheap smart phone market in countries like, U.S., India, and China. To fight back, Apple is launching its cheaper iPhone which doesn't come with a glass body, but with glossy plastic. The phone is also expected to have almost the same specification as the iPhone 4. One can already find a lot of leaked pictures of the phone on many tech blogs.

- iPad Mini Retina

The iPad mini had already broke records in sales and the new iPad Mini with ipad mini cases is also expected to do the same. The iPad mini did not have powerful hardware; however the thing was sold like hotcakes. The iPad mini Retina will be a sure winner with the stunning retina display with more pixels per square inch and a higher screen resolution.

- iOS 7

The iOS 7 is possibly the most awaited OS upgrade for the iPhone and the iPad and is also one of the most criticized update. Many Bloggers and websites, claim that, Apple has shamelessly stolen quite some features from Android and Windows Mobile OS. It is also expected to be released.

- iPad 5

A French website, nowhere else recently released the leaked images of the new iPad 5. The images are doing the rounds on Twitter and Blogosphere and many experts claim that it is the real deal. The more slimmer and stunning iPad will also be released this time.

And that is not all. You can also expect some new Apple Accessories to be released along with these products. So, keep your fingers crossed. If any of the products mentioned above were not released on September 10th, they will surely be released. The new Apple TV is also on the way. It might not be released before the end of this year, along with the rumored iPhone 5S. Stay tuned for more Apple news.

Unity is an authoring tool for creating 3D video games and other interactive content such as architectural visualization's or real-time 3D animations. Currently, Unity's developers work on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X, and produce games that play on Windows, Mac, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 Wii, iPad and iPhone. Games also work on the Android platform. Unity can produce browser games that will actually use the Unity web player plug-in. Linux does not support Unity, but Mac and Windows do. Mac widgets can be used on the web player.


iPhone Developers both Apple and outside developers

iPhone developers can use Unity to become a casual game developer, and the possibilities are endless. Casual games are a niche in the gaming category and are a growing entity. Casual games have simple design and invite the gamer to step in the game, play, and get out without outlaying complicated skills or time commitments. iPhone game app developers need to remember: small, fun, easy. Competitive Opportunity Casual games are smaller in scope and limited in terms of game play with lower end-use expectations. Resources to develop these games are on small scale. An iPhone development team of one to three people can do well immensely using Unity to develop their small tier "casual games." The casual games market is an excellent vehicle for iPhone development app teams to break into the iPhone or Smartphones game app download market.

Characteristics of Unity app developer

Unity is simple. World building tools enable iPhone application developers and others to assemble and tweak levels of the application at the speed of thought. Edit, test, and play developing apps using Unity. Your ideas are only a click away. Unity lets you drill down to find the fun, then control and polish until everything is perfect. Platforms can be switched at just a click. Develop from a single source for iPhone, iPad, mobiles, webs, Mac/PC and consoles. Application developers need Unity to design aural ambiance and audio. These are included. Unity brings Beast light mapping and Umbra occlusion to make games look good and run fast. Unity's rendering pipeline helps games look great for the casual game market.

Tips for outsourcing and developing iPhone casual games

Entire courses cover the topic of game design and what elements help make a "good game." Outside iPhone application developers recommend that when developing these casual gaming apps several items need to be recognized. Think about the target audience. Free browser-based web games appeal to males in their teens and twenties who lean toward action, adventure or driving style games. Puzzle, work or story type games appeal to female audiences that tend to just play for very short time bursts.

Keep it simple. Easy to learn and understand yet challenging are the watch words. Definitely use familiar interfaces and controls. Find rewards that are relatable. Action games might offer weapons, power up options or enemy kills. A story based game my need to offer new character modifications or time scales. Games must always be replay able. Keep them coming back! Test early during the development, throughout all stages, and test often. Make sure your game is tested by strangers. Work on the game app until it is deemed "loveable".

The handset doesn't have a spectacular specification, but it all works well as a package. You get a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM and Android 4.1 - not much on paper, compared to the near-2GHz monsters we're now seeing on premium smartphones, but we've no complaints about the handset's performance. Apps open and shut with a snap and animations are silky-smooth.

As we expected, the phone's performance in our Sunspider 1.0 JavaScript benchmark wasn't spectacular. It completed the test in 2,646ms using the default Chrome browser, which is twice as long as we saw from the Xperia SP with its 1.7GHz dual-core chip. Chrome is slow in Sunspider, but even with the faster Dolphin browser we only saw 1,564ms, which is very much a middling result.

Subjectively, this average benchmark score didn't make much difference to the phone's web browsing performance. The Maps app glides smoothly under your finger, and there's barely a hesitation while panning smoothly around web pages - only a barely perceptible slowdown when scrolling past a large image. When compared side by side with a Samsung Galaxy S3, the more powerful S3 had slightly smoother browsing, but there's not much in it.

You shouldn't have a problem with gaming, as the Xperia L's processor produced a competent performance in the 3DMark benchmark. 4074 is a much better score than we expect to see from a phone at this price, and is up with much more expensive phones such as the HTC One X+. It's also quicker in 3D games than the Samsung Galaxy S3, showing you're getting better 3D performance than last year's premium handsets.

We were also impressed with the Xperia L's screen. Again, its 854x480 resolution is pretty standard for a phone at this price, and you have to zoom in to read text on web pages, but we saw bright whites and punchy colours. The Xperia L's LCD display doesn't have the true blacks of an AMOLED screen, but blacks are still very deep. It's a high-quality display for a relatively inexpensive handset.

The phone's design certainly divided opinion in the office. In an era of slimmer smartphones, it's unashamedly chunky, with a large chin and a concave back with a pleasing rubberised finish. The phone's protruding edges make it feel like it would survive most tumbles, as the screen would be protected unless you dropped the phone straight on its face.
However, some weren't sure about the hard edges at the bottom of the handset, which can dig into your hand - we think it's something you'll quickly get used to, and is only really a problem if you're used to a phone with rounded edges such as the Galaxy S3.

As with the Xperia SP and Xperia Z, Sony has made extensive customisations to the Xperia L's version of Android. This may offend Android purists, but we find the changes to be tasteful and useful. We particularly like the drop-down box that lets you sort your apps by Most Used or Recently Installed.

Sony bills the Xperia L as the "camera experts' camera phone", and we were impressed by the performance of its backside-illuminated camera sensor. A backside-illuminated sensor has the sensor's circuitry on the rear rather than at the front, so there's no wiring in the way of light reaching the sensor.

This should lead to better image quality under low light, and the Xperia L takes some of the best low-light photos we've seen, with far more detail and less than noise than the Samsung Galaxy S4's shots. Daylight photos were acceptable if not spectacular. Contrast was impressive, with no sign of overexposure in lighter areas even on a sunlit day, but details became muddy when we zoomed in, showing the limits of the Xperia L's eight megapixels.

Video quality was acceptable under reasonable lighting, but under low light the frame rate dropped right down, making footage seriously jerky - this isn't a phone to film gigs or nights out.

We were impressed with the Xperia L. It has a good screen and a fast operating system, as well as excellent low-light photo (if not video) performance. It's not especially cheap on contract, but provided you're willing to pay for the phone up-front, there's nothing that can touch it for less than £300. It's a Budget Buy.

Overhauling a communication platform can be really expensive; usually the biggest expense comes from replacing the handsets and the PBX. For businesses running on a budget you might want to look into SIP trunk. The protocol works on most new model PBX whilst older ones may need a slight upgrade using a SIP card. But generally the set up is far less expensive than completely replacing all your phone system components and you will be saving precious time in training your staff with new phones.


SIP trunk is a communication protocol that uses VoIP technologies; basically the system is a far superior and cost effective protocol that what traditional telephony platforms are using. The beauty of the SIP trunk is that it can be connected to almost all kinds PBX hardware without major and costly set up fees. On top of that SIP trunk is also known for better call rates compared to traditional analog lines and small business can save by as much as 70% on calling charges. There are just quite a few considerations that small businesses need to bear in mind for a successful deployment. However these requirements are basic business infrastructure components that are likely to be present in your office already.

Internet connection - The protocol is completely dependent on the internet and it is a must to have a reliable connection with reasonable levels of jitter and packet loss. 10 years ago this may be a problem but with the quality of broadband available in the market today is very easy to secure such connection especially with fibers and ADSL2 gaining popularity.

IP PBX - Like mentioned above a SIP enabled PBX is needed to run the protocol. Check with your chosen provider whether what you currently have will support SIP or if a SIP card is needed.

Border element - This will establish the connection between your local area network (LAN) and the Internet Telephony Service Provider's network (ISTP). Usually these are just LAN firewalls or an edge device that connects to the LAN. Your IT department or the ISTP should be able to discuss this with you in depth.

SIP line - The actual line provided by your ISTP will establish the connection between your network and public switched telephones. This enables your PBX to call or connect outside the network at business grade quality. The quality of the service provider's network is also important so be sure to assess it before signing up with them.

Satellite TV is a very complicated system, and it is fairly obvious because the state of art technology is built in a digital age. However you may always rely on information that can make your satellite viewing experience slightly easier to grasp particularly when you are attempting to have your own customized set-up. Let us dig into some of the fundamentals as you pull into the store en route to having your own satellite TV system.


When heading off to your local store, keep in mind that you are going to go along with an entire system. So with that in mind, listed below are the three key units for your very own satellite system. You have to get a satellite receiver which connects to your TV set, your very own handy remote control, and last but not the least a satellite dish that can boost your reception. And one thing more, yea you need to get a subscription from your local provider who can provide you access to the needed signal for your own viewing experience.

You can have a go at either a standard set-up or a cranked up high definition system. In programming your standard satellite usually requires a spherical satellite dish measuring about 18 inches. On the other hand you can go high definition by procuring an oval-shaped dish having a dimension of 18×20 inches. Nonetheless if you don't want to have a fuss with your system, the dish comes as part of your subscription package. A must in order to receive good signal is that the dish should be to be oriented in a clear exposure by the southern direction and ensure there are no man-made structures hindering its reception. Trees are also a no-no.

Since the digital age is upon your time of wanting to have your very personal satellite system, assure that the broadcasting experience you are going to have is something to look forward to. Gone are the days of the blurring and fuzzy output on your TV screen. The present domain for a satellite system is in MPEG2. so either you have crystal clear signal or nothing at all. Nature can play with your signal in some cases such as strong winds and rain and when lightning comes bragging around. Nonetheless these problems occur less often.

Well that's it; you can now head on to the store feeling assured and use your satellite TV basics.

Smart TVs are television sets that can retrieve content from the Internet and offer built-in applications for streaming music and movies, apps for social networking, apps for news, weather, sports, games, YouTube and more. In addition to using apps, one of the most appealing factors for tech-savvy consumers is voice activation technology to control TV sets.

According to DisplaySearch, a leading provider of reliable information about the display-related industries, connected TVs are forecast to grow to over 123 million shipments in 2014 (at a 30% compound annual growth rate). The market is now developing beyond mature regions like Western Europe and Japan. Emerging markets play a major role in this growth. With the improvements in the broadband infrastructure, the adoption of connected TVs is a natural next step in TV feature innovation. Eastern Europe is expected to grow from 2.5 million connected TVs shipped in 2010 to over 10 million in 2014. In addition to that, 33% of flat panel TVs sold in China in 2013 will have the Internet capability.


DisplaySearch also forecasts that the connected TV market will become fragmented and increase in complexity. One group of TV sets is supposed to feature basic video on demand and appeal to consumers who expect television to remain a passive experience. Those who want something more substantial will find interesting other TV sets offering configurable apps, sophisticated search and navigation engines, as well as advanced user interfaces.

The main contemporary connected TV platforms include Samsung Smart TV, LG Smart TV, Mitsubishi Stream TV, Panasonic Viera Connect, Sony Bravia, Toshiba NetTV, Apple TV, Google TV, TiVo, Liberty Global's Horizon and Yahoo! Connected TV. Samsung, with around 20 million apps downloaded by the end of January 2012, is the segment leader, followed by Panasonic and LG.

However, the biggest shake-up in the television industry is going to cause Apple's much-talked-of TV set. It promises to revolutionize television like once the iPad hit the market. Steve Jobs was quoted in his official biography saying that he "finally cracked the case" of an integrated TV. The new iTV (alleged name) is expected to be completely easy to use, seamlessly synced with other Apple's devices and with the iCloud. At the moment Apple with its $99 set-top box Apple TV seems to be doing very well, with 2.8 million units sold in 2011.

We are constantly hearing rumors related to the expected Apple's product, its features, price, and release date. CLSA Group views Apple TV hardware as a 2013 event. According to the estimations of ITG Industry Investment Research, the new iTV set could increase the company's market cap by 10%, or $60 billion. Apple, already the world's most valuable company, has recently hit the $600 billion level.

Analyst Peter Misek from Jefferies, a global securities and investment banking group, doesn't expect the device to be called iTV. He suggests the new television could be called "iPanel" which can reflect its potential as a hub for gaming, media and more. The iPanel name also follows the "iP" format of other Aplle's products, like the iPod, iPhone and the iPad. However, it is just a guess from the analyst. Misek expects that an Apple television will have a $1,250 average selling price.

The success of Apple's products, like the iPod, the iPhone, and iPad, are much about the design. The iTV (let's take this name) is supposed to have superior quality and excellent design. The list of possible features includes the following ones:

• An aluminum construction;
• FaceTime video calling;
• Siri-based remote voice control;
• 42-inch HD screen;
• iOS operating system;
• iCloud support;
• Control from the iPhone or the iPad;
• Access to Netflix, YouTube, Flickr, etc. (same as on the existing Apple TV);
• Content sharing and media streaming from Apple's devices.

Obviously, we'll soon witness the appearance of a new smart TV from Apple that is going to bring new changes to the TV market. And, yes, Apple may win!

In this age of technology, it will be hard to get away from mobile phones or cell phones. These devices are everywhere, and are used by a large number of people. In order to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the mobile communications market, businesses around the world have started creating mobile websites and mobile applications. The mobile websites are those sites which can be accessed from the cell phones, with the help of a GPS or internet connection. On the other hand, a mobile application is an application which can be installed and directly used from the cell phone itself.

In order to have a better understanding of what would be more beneficial to a business, let us discuss the various advantages and disadvantages of mobile websites and mobile applications.

Mobile Website

Advantages

The various advantages are -

• Requires fewer resources in comparison to an application.
• It is easier and faster to launch a mobile website.
• It can be created by reusing much of the structure of the actual (regular) web page.
• It is accessible to all devices with Internet access.
• It is easy to promote a website in comparison to an application.
• The updates can be uploaded at any time and can be made available immediately.

Disadvantages

The various disadvantages are -

• A website cannot be tailored to suit the features of a cell phone (smartphone), in addition, most mobile browsers are extremely simple.
• A mobile website will be less attractive, and will never be as complex and dynamic as an application.

Mobile Application

Advantages

The various advantages are -

• Within an application, we may include some features that cannot be included on a mobile website.
• Even if we do not have access to Wi-Fi or 3G, we can use the application that is installed in our mobile device.
• An application can use the entire screen of the device and provide a better interface to the user.
• The application is always visible on the desktop of the device, so the chances of using it are greater.

Disadvantages

The various disadvantages are -

• For a user to use an application, he or she must first download it, requiring greater knowledge and brand loyalty.
• It requires more money and resources to develop an application.
• Applications are not available to be downloaded on all mobile devices.
• Updating an application is not as easy as updating a website.

Thus, we can see that mobile websites and mobile applications can both be beneficial to a business and its customers.

Android Jelly Bean

Cheap smart phones are very much in demand since the market is now ruled by the Android operating system. With all the cheap smart phones available, the cheapest that you can get is a dual-core smart phone, which runs with Android Jelly Bean 4.1 OS. After comparing all the available units in the market, it shows that this holds the title for the cheapest dual core smartphone with Jelly Bean 4.1 OS. For a Samsung Galaxy S III Mini, it only costs around £239, and that already includes a free SIM. As a good alternative, you can opt to get Google Nexus 4, which includes a quad-core processor and the latest Jelly Bean 4.2 OS for just the same retail price.

Samsung Galaxy S III

The Samsung Galaxy S III Mini is similar to the regular Galaxy SIII unit. Both have pebble-like rounded corners and bowed sides for its design. The phone has a 4-inch screen display, 8-16GB of phone storage, and 5MP for its back camera. Some of its specs include 1GB of RAM, and its camera with 1GHz dual-core processor that gets a 763-point score on Geekbench 2. Considering all these nice features, it is a sensible choice for those, who want to buy a low-cost smart phone.

Huawei Ascenda G330

A common problem with cheap smart phones is the use of an older Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS and a good example of which is the Huawei Ascenda G330. Despite this, various cheap handset models are coming out this year that already includes Android Jelly Bean 4.1 OS with a single core processor.
