Samsung Galaxy Stellar Manual User Guide - At first glance, the Galaxy Stellar strongly resembles the Droid Razr Charge, also for Verizon. A little smaller, it nevertheless has the same glossy black plastic body, similar port placements, and, most distinctively, a slightly peaked chin. The Stellar is softer and less pronounced than the Charge in that respect.
The handset's 4.8-inch height and 2.5-inch width are barely worth noting, but the 0.47-inch depth is thicker than the slim high-end phones in the Samsung family. Still, a half-inch thickness is within the realm of normalcy, though it feels as hefty as it looks at 4.7 ounces. The slick, reflective coating will help the Stellar glide into loose pockets. Weight aside, it feels comfortable to hold, and my ear had no complaints.
You'll find a 4-inch Super AMOLED display as your window into Android. The Stellar's resolution is a respectable 800x480 pixels, also known as WVGA. It's fine for the Stellar's screen size, where icons and text look typically sharp and bright on the automatic brightness setting. Support for 16 million colors helps achieve the rich look.
Beneath the screen is where I find my favorite Samsung convenience, a fourth capacitive navigation button that pulls up the menu keys. This is an onscreen control on a lot of Android Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) phones, but in stock Android, the menu placement can jump around. I enjoy having the context menu where I can see it. This isn't new for Samsung, which has long included a menu button as part of its usual controls. What is different is the use of Google's vertical ellipsis symbol, and the placement all the way on the right, where you'd find it in stock ICS.
iPhone 4 Manual User Guide - The iPhone 4 is no small thing to review. As most readers of Engadget are well aware, in the gadget world a new piece of Apple hardware is a major event, preceded by rumors, speculation, an over-the-top announcement, and finally days, weeks, or months of anticipation from an ever-widening fan base.
The iPhone 4 is certainly no exception -- in fact, it may be Apple's most successful launch yet, despite some bumps on the road. We've already seen Apple and AT&T's servers overloaded on the first day of pre-orders, the ship date for the next set of phones pushed back due to high demand, and die-hard fans in line outside of Apple locations a week before the phone is actually available.
It's a lot to live up to, and the iPhone 4 is doing its best -- with features like a super-fast A4 CPU, a new front-facing camera and five megapixel shooter on the back, a completely new industrial design, and that outrageous Retina Display, no one would argue that Apple has been asleep at the wheel. So the question turns to whether or not the iPhone 4 can live up to the intense hype. Can it deliver on the promises Steve Jobs made at WWDC, and can it cement Apple's position in the marketplace in the face of mounting competition from the likes of Google and Microsoft? We have the answers to those questions -- and many more -- in our full review, so read on to find out!
Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE Manual User Guide - One of fall's best budget phones, the Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE packs quite a few features into a basic but usable package. The Victory holds up, thanks to a reliable Android experience and some sturdy midrange hardware; however, the design is thick and plain.
For me, network speeds are the sticking point, since Sprint's 4G LTE still hasn't arrived in San Francisco. However, the $49.99 price tag (with a new, two-year service agreement) makes the Victory easy to recommend for its price range.
That is, if its biggest competition, the 4G-ready LG Viper, didn't sell for the same price and also include a 1080p HD video camera and excellent photo features.
Design and build Thick and heavy with a silvery finish, the Victory 4G looks the part of the middle-of-the-road phone. It isn't sleek or stylish, though Samsung does try to add some interest with mild contouring on the back and touch-screen navigation buttons that look embossed. Otherwise, the Victory appears very much cast from the same mold as other Galaxy phones.

Panasonic HCX900M Manual User Guide - For the last couple of years, Panasonic's top-end camcorders have garnered a number of our top accolades, including Best Camcorder for the HDC-TM900 in our 2011 annual awards. So we were very keen to get our hands on a new premium Panasonic, particularly as this generation has been marked by a switch in the model naming system. So is the HC-X900 really a big step over its predecessor?
In some ways the answer is actually no. There isn't a monumental shift in core technology or design here. The HC-X900 ostensibly uses a very similar trio of 1/4.1in CMOS sensors with 3.05Mpixels each as the HDC-TM900, although the green sensor incorporates pixel shift technology to enhance its resolution. Video is recorded to SDXC card only, as there is no internal memory included. You will need the HC-X900M if you want that. The single card slot will make total capacity less than models offering twin slots, such as Canon's LEGRIA HF G10, but having up to 64GB available in SDXC form will be enough for most situations.
Another feature which hasn't changed is the level of manual control. Like all of Panasonic's last few premium generations, the X900 offers a lens ring that provides rapid access to the most oft-used manual settings. In auto mode, the ring merely offers an alternative, but slower and more precise, zoom control. However, a quick press of the button nearby switches the camera to manual mode, and cycles functions through manual focus, shutter speed, iris and white balance.
Motorola Defy Mini XT321 User Manual - Motorola Defy Mini XT 321 Product has a design that is slightly larger than the previous Defy products, although slightly taller in height, hence not significantly different to its predecessor. The design is a lot simpler in comparison to the former Motorola Defy. With less detail on the surface of the cell phone you get to enhance the outdoor look. With dimensions of 109 x 58.5 x 12.6 mm and weights of 107 grams mobile phone Motorola is a favorite mobile phone especially with a full touch screen display and camera facilities, mic, USB, 3.5 audio jacks and volume further adds to the appeal Motorola Defy mobile phone mini design. The design of Defy Mini is simpler than previous versions and has a resistance to water though not as good as previous versions.
Motorola Defy Mini XT 321 has the TFT touch screen display with 256K colors display, with dimensions of 320 x 480 mm. The display is also equipped with multi touch facility. The display of the cell phone is smaller in width than the former version, the Motorola Defy. By only half an inch however you also have to make do with the color capacity of only 256. With the rate they are set at, at the moment you can get better color capacity in other types. Luckily the resolution and responsiveness of the screen is moderate.
Motorola Defy Mini XT 321 has android operating system version 2.3.6
which is more popularly known as Gingerbread. The UI used is MotoSwitch
UI which has feature to recognize your habit of using a mobile phone. In
addition, the Defy Mini has multiple home screens The new UI Defy Mini
also comes with widgets that really attracts like Social Graph widget to
display the shortcut applications that you frequently use. With a 600
MHz processor hardware combined with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and
512 RAM, it has become a tough mobile phone to use. However, because the
internal memory of Defy Mini XT 321 is only 512MB then it becomes a
very serious deficiency. The defy mini mobile phone is powered by a
battery with 1540mAh capacity that can be used longer with a single
charge.
Motorola RAZR i User Manual - Eight years ago, when the Android 4.0, Intel inside-toting Razr i wasn't even a glint in Motorola's eye, something revolutionary happened in phone land. Motorola launched the Razr line.
This was a time when Nokia ruled the phone world; an age where Ericsson and Motorola were the other big boys, Samsung was a bit of an also-ran trying to compete but struggling, and Apple... well, it had not long launched the iPod, which "put 1,000 songs in your pocket."
Indeed, Apple teamed up with Motorola to launch the first iTunes enabled phone, the ROKR (which was a dismal failure) before deciding that it could do the whole thing better itself.
Apple's iPhone line has now arguably become the most successful of all time - five million iPhone 5 handsets sold in the first three days. Which puts Motorola's 130m Razrs in four years into perspective.
Motorola's Razr line never really died. It just fell into a coma, with the occasional slumber of consciousness across various iterations. And now, under the ownership (although, perhaps not the hands-on stewardship) of parent company Google, the Razr is being given another more high profile outing.
HTC Desire X Manual User Guide - While HTC's Desire brand was originally attached to premium smartphones, these days Desire-branded handsets have a distinctly mid-range feel. The Desire X inhabits the crowded sub-£200 SIM-free market, so we were interested to see how it would stand out.
First impressions are, thankfully, good. The Desire X is a smart phone. It's slim and light with a pleasing curved shape, and our review model was the classy white and silver version. We didn't like bending and prying the rear cover off to fit the SIM card and microSD, but it's not like you have to open your phone very often.
We were impressed with the Desire X's screen. It's a 4in model with an 800x480 resolution, and the screen's high contrast makes the phone pleasant to use. HTC has modified Android heavily with its Sense interface, and the customisations tend to polarise opinion. Comparing the Desire X side-by-side with a phone running a stock version of Android 4.0, we felt Sense added to the experience. The replacement icons are big, colourful and detailed, and the main apps screen has buttons to show all your apps or filter them by most frequently used or just those you have installed yourself. The phone has around 950MB free to install apps, and if you add a microSD card you can use a dedicated app to move programs to the memory card and free up internal storage.
Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T Manual - We've always had a lot of time for Asus' Transformer Pad range, with both the original Transformer and the more recent Asus Transformer Prime getting a positive reception. We first saw the new Transformer Pad Infinity at MWC in March and marvelled at its then incredible 1,920x1,200 resolution display. That, though, was two weeks before Apple launched its new 2,048×1,536 iPad and redefined the kind of resolution we expect from a tablet.
Since then, and just pipping Asus to the punch, we've also seen the Acer Iconia Tab A700, which has the same display resolution.
Its screen resolution may no longer be ground-breaking then, but the Transformer Pad Infinity 700 is rather different from those two devices. This is because of its keyboard dock, which turns the tablet into a small laptop. We bemoaned the lack of a tablet-only option with recent Transformer devices, but we have been able to find this one dock-free online. Because of this we'll be reviewing the 32GB tablet standalone at £450, before adding our thoughts on the dock at the end.
Sony Xperia Miro Manual User Guide - If you can’t afford the likes of the Sony Xperia U or Sony Xperia P, then Sony is hoping to reel you in with the Sony Xperia Miro. You can buy it SIM-free for the very modest asking price of £150, or alternatively pick it up for free on a tenner a month contract. On paper that seems like a pretty good deal, but as we'll find out, the Miro isn’t quite as tempting a proposition as it first appears. Sony Xperia Miro Design First impressions of the Sony Xperia Miro are a bit indifferent. It's not that it's an unattractive phone, it's more that its design is a bit dull and doesn’t really grab your attention. Like a 1980's goth, the handset is decked out in all black, with just the silver effect on the logos and the touch buttons at the bottom of the screen to distract you from its overall starkness.
The rear battery cover is nicely curved at the edges, though, and has a grippy rubberised effect, so it sits comfortably in your hand. Sony has also added a neat looking cutaway at the bottom of the screen, which has a brushed metal effect, in contrast to the polished black used on the screen's bezel.
Samsung Galaxy Note II User Manual - What is consumer review about Samsung Galaxy Note II? Yeah here is it. First 2 questions I get when someone sees this device: is that a phone? Does it fit in your pocket? No, its a blender. No, it doesn't fit in my pocket I have to wear a backpack to carry it around. But seriously, it is big for a phone, but it fits in every pocket of pants that I wear easily. I sold my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and my Galaxy S III for this phone. I hate the word phablet, but it is truly both. The screen size allows for all types of media consumption comfortably. The hardware along with JellyBean make the Note II the smoothest Android experience to date. I mean no slowdowns, stutters, or crashes of any kind. Besides having the functionality of a phone, you get many features including S-Pen and a great camera, which in combination makes for something special, and a big battery for the long trips.
I am not an artist, but the S Pen makes it super easy to experiment with. It is really fun and easy (once you know about them) to explore through the features, although I do recommend downloading "User's Digest: Samsung Galaxy NoteII" from the Playstore. It is a basic, yet informative guide that takes you through many of the S-Pen features. And there are many!
The battery life on this device is fantastic. I am averaging 30 hours between charges with medium to heavy use (4-6 hours of screen time), and that's usually with 10-15% left (I don't like running the Li-Ion battery all the way down). There's now a battery on the market that more than doubles the capacity of the stock 3100 mah battery (obviously sacrificing bulkiness and weight) for those of you that never want to put this thing down. But for me, this is plenty of battery life and I am truly impressed considering the thickness and reasonable weight.
Samsung Ativ User Manual - Guys, we provided to you the review and the user manual for Samsung Ativ. Samsung has got on the Windows 8 boat earlier than many, releasing one of the first tablets to sport the new Windows RT operating system. Aside from being one of the first out the gate, the Samsung Ativ Tab looks to be a strong contender in its own right, with a slim build and solid specs.
Shorn of the keyboard of its Samsung Ativ Smart PC brethren, the Samsung Ativ Tab hasn't been released in a vacuum - the Microsoft Surface RT is already out in the wild. Microsoft's flagship iPad 4 rival is also cheaper than the stomach-turningly expensive Samsung Ativ Tab, which starts at £549.99/US$649.99 (around AU$836).
For that kind of money you'd expect a whole lot of tablet, and with a premium build quality, a thickness of just 8.9mm (0.35 inches) and coming in at a surprisingly light 570g (20.1oz) - compared to the 680.4g (24oz) Microsoft Surface - the Samsung Ativ Tab certainly makes a promising first impression.
Nokia Asha 309 Manual User Guide - What's news for Nokia Asha 309? The Nokia Asha 309 is yet another affordable feature phone with a touchscreen to arrive at our office, covering the ever diminishing gap between smartphones and feature phones. This time Nokia bid farewell to resistive and went with a capacitive 3-inch display, and with the fresh new swipe-based interface of the Series 40 platform, the company is playing what seems like its last cards to keep the feature phone alive.
In modern-day reality, though, the most affordable Android smartphones come at nearly the same price. Can the Asha really pull it against them? And is it a good phone on its own? That’s what we asked ourselves when we first saw it, and we’ll start looking for answers to those questions right away.
The biggest advancement the Asha 309 introduces to the series is the capacitive touchscreen. The 3-inch capacitive LCD multi-touch display with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels makes navigating the phone easier than it was on previous Asha devices with resistive displays - everything requires less effort.
LG Optimus G Manual User Guide - Before downloading the user guide, we recommend you to read the review first. Available from both Sprint and AT&T, the LG Optimus G touts a quad-core processor, 32GB of memory, and depending on the carrier a 13 megapixel camera, all for a suggested retail price of $200 with contract. Is it more than the sum of its parts? Brighthand takes a look.
LG Optimus G. The first impression that the Optimus G gives when coming out of the box is one of simplicity. It's a very minimalistic design: not a lot of curves, not a lot of flash to it, but it is very shiny. In an odd design choice, LG coated the back of the phone with glass as well as the front and the rear panel is a thin layer of glass over plastic. It looks cool, sure, but I'm not convinced how well that'll work out in the long run. Not only will you have to worry about twice as much glass to break in the event of dropping your phone, but dropping it will become far more likely considering that glass back also makes the thing very, very slippery to hold.
But the more you look over the device, the more you come back to simplicity. One micro-USB connector. No battery cover. No doors to access a SIM or memory card -- at least on the Sprint version I got, which I'll talk about later. Besides the screen and the rear glass, the Optimus G has almost no real design elements.
Samsung Galaxy S Duos User Manual - Are you the Galaxy S Duos owner? If you are, congratulation because you have came to the right site to get you user manual. Read the review of this mobile first will be much better. Dual-SIM users generally fall in one of two categories - those on a tight budget who look to optimize spending by combining carrier plans, and frequent travelers, who don't want to carry two handsets all the time.
Top-tier manufacturers have been trying to wrestle away the first group from white-box makers for a few years now, but only recently have they started to pay attention to the second one. Smartphones are only now starting to emerge that have a decent spec sheet to go with the extra SIM slot. Looking to avoid astronomical charges for data traffic in roaming does not necessarily mean that you want the cheapest device possible.
Enter the Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7562 - the smartphone that aims to deliver a solid smartphone experience, while juggling calls between a couple of SIMs. As usual we'll kickoff this review with a quick rundown of the smartphone's key strengths and most notable weaknesses.
Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 Manual - Before downloading the manual, you are recommended to read the review of this mobile phone first. Adding to its expansive collection of Galaxy-branded, Android-filled smartphones, Samsung has reignited its Galaxy Ace sub-franchise with the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 tackling the space between the collection of dedicated entry-level and mid-market handsets.
With a price point that is neither overtly friendly on the wallet or aspirationally expensive, the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 bridges the defined boundaries of the smartphone market, featuring a number of notable improvements over its predecessor whilst failing to match the collection of ground-breaking and genre defining specs as its Galaxy S3 branded sibling.
Joining the likes of the Orange San Diego, HTC One V and Nokia Lumia 710 in this no-mans-land of the mobile market, the Galaxy Ace 2 has got a lot to do if it's to stand out from the crowd. It's now available for £160 on a number of PAYG deals, making it an attractive proposition for many.
Sony Xperia T LT30p User Manual - Did you own this mobile for sure? If you have, sure you want to get online manual book here. Xperia T (Black) is a new Sony Xperia series phone that brings us some
new interesting and powerful features. The phone runs on Android (Ice
Cream Sandwich) OS and its equipped a mighty 1.5GHz dual core processor
that makes this phone really fast in performing any given task.
The Xperia T has a Shatter proof and scratch-resistant glass 4.55 inch TFT
touchscreen with great contrast and colors, the camera makes remarkable
pictures with its 13MP lens and LED flash, and its also capable of
making HD video recordings. The design and build quality of this phone
is at a usual high level, and the application support is understandably
wide due to the Android OS and powerful processor.
This phone features a
fast Wi Fi connection, A-GPS support and GLONASS, a Micro SD card slot
for memory expanding (and also 50GB of Cloud storage) . With the Xperia
T, Sony proved its capability of making brilliant phones once again, and
normally we expect a great world wide acceptance of this device.
Sony Xperia T, the new flagship smartphone, has received Android 4.2.1
(Jelly Bean) CyanogenMod 10.1 (CM10.1) ROM that brings the latest
version of Android for the device. The device should have the custom
recovery installed. Many features may not work in this ROM since it is a
work-in-progress custom firmware. Download Sony Xperia T LT30p User Manual
ZTE Warp Sequent Manual Guide - Read the review before downloading the manual is really recommended. You have to hand it to ZTE. Amid its seemingly infinite supply of mediocre handsets and mounting security concerns, the Chinese phone manufacturer raised the bar just a bit. Disregarding the ZTE Warp Sequent's oddball name (I know it's the successor to the Warp, but what's this name supposed to evoke anyway -- two warps whirling one after another?), it has more higher-end specs than what we've seen in past ZTE handsets, and its performance isn't plagued with buggy software or glacial internal speeds. To put it frankly, this is one ZTE handset that isn't a total disappointment.
Yet there are still a couple of things that hold it back. It operates only on Boost's 3G network, and even though you don't have to sign a contract for this $199.99 phone, there are more powerful Boost handsets available for just a few bucks more.
The ZTE Warp Sequent has a more premium feel than any ZTE device I've handled, and it reminds me somewhat of the last two Nexuses (which is a huge improvement, as far as ZTE goes). The general shape is the same: a slab with rounded corners, and top and bottom edges that curve slightly outward. But this handset is smaller, measuring 5 inches tall, 2.56 inches wide, and 0.39 inch thick. Weighing 4.6 ounces, it's not heavy, but it feels solid and dense. Though it's a snug fit in small jean pockets, it's comfortable to hold in my hands, or pinned between my face and shoulder.
Panasonic 3D HDC-SDT750 User Manual - How is this camcorder works for you? All right, you have toread the review first. Like every other area of technology, video is developing at an increasing pace. Digital camcorders arrived around 15 years ago, high definition only five years ago, and now video is acquiring a third dimension as well. Our first taste of consumer 3D videography came from an unexpected direction in the shape of the Aiptek 3D i2. But now we have a higher-end, more mainstream option from Panasonic: the HDC-SDT750.
The clever bit with the SDT750 is a bolt-on attachment for the lens. This contains a pair of lenses oriented in parallel, which pick up two slightly different points of view, one for each eye. The camcorder senses when this has been screwed on for the first time, and prompts you to follow a calibration wizard. The lens cap contains an adjustment pattern on a translucent plastic panel. Three dials under a flap on the top are used for precise positioning, to optimise the 3D image. Unfortunately, it’s recommended that you re-calibrate each time you remove and re-attach the lens, which is somewhat irritating.
The dual images are recorded side-by-side into a single frame of AVCHD. This is one of the standard formats for 3D, and the main one currently supported by 3D-capable HDTVs. However, you lose half the horizontal resolution, as the video is still recorded at 1,920 x 1080 pixels, so you're effectively getting 960 x 1,080. The splitting of the frame will also have implications for low light performance.
BenQ DV S11 Manual and Users Guide - Nikon released the first camera with an inbuilt projector back in 2009 with the S1000pj, and BenQ have added a few upgrades to the concept with the DV S11. The projector outputs an extra 10 inches to reach a potential 50 inch display, while the LCD screen is given touch control and increased to 3.5 inches from Nikon's 2.7. They've also gone for the unconventional design of what looks more like a camera phone than a video camera.
Unlike Nikon's version of the projector camera, the image quality isn't very good for 1080p recording, especially in low light and worse still under any zoom. Digital zoom over optical zoom leaves nothing to be desired. Image quality is fair, but at only 5 MP it doesn't stand close to any compact cameras or other recorders in the market and it's easy to pick up on noise in the picture quality in video. The recording is fluid though, and there isn't much motion blur on action shots with a consistently quality frame rate.
Just make sure you're in a dark room with a white wall when you're projecting because the small projector doesn't pack much of a brightness punch on the small unit that shapes up to smaller than your typical mobile phone. A scroll wheel on the top right corner of the unit adjusts the focus of the projector.
iPad Mini User Guide - Apple has gone where we never thought it would, with the iPad mini bringing the Apple tablet experience to a brave new budget world.
The new tablet comes in at a wallet-friendly £279 for the basic version, with 16GB of storage on offer for the Wi-Fi version. You can supplement the mini-slate with up to 64GB of space to chuck movies and music, as well as 4G LTE connectivity, but that will set you back an eye-watering £529 for the top model. But then again, the iPad mini release isn't about the top end specs with a whopping price tag – it's about beating the likes of the Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HD in the budget stakes.
That said, Apple fans need not worry too much when it comes to whether the iPad mini is a worthy addition to the iBrand, as it comes with enough power and reams of Ive-inspired design to make it a worthwhile addition to the range – this isn't a shrunken down iPad, it's a whole new product again.
Be it the larger screen size, the impressively low weight or the alternative design compared to the competition there's a lot to chew over with the iPad mini – but is it worth spending your hard-earned when more cash will get you a fully-fledged version of Apple's tablet, especially when rumours are touting an iPad mini 2 for a launch in Q2 this year?
