/ press release

iPhone 5s is without a doubt one of the most important and best smartphones 2013, new Apple phone is noticeably better than its predecessor, and iOS 7 and Touch ID brings breath of fresh air, which waited the whole world. Is this the best smartphone on the market? read more

first device called the Nexus 7 appeared on the market in the past year. The product is made on behalf of Google by Asus gained immense popularity due to high specifications and affordable full support of the manufacturer’s software. It is hardly surprising that this year’s premiere of the new views aroused huge and very positive emotions. The end result proved to be extremely successful and has a good chance to improve the success of its predecessor.

appearance and performance

front panel of the unit looks very well, because it creates a virtually unwavering pane of glass. Only after waking from standby tablet we find that conceals a 7-inch screen. The ideal is missing only strongly reduced frame surrounding the display – something resembling the iPad Air, but even without this the Nexus 7 can really be enjoyed.

While the front panels of both the Nexus 7 views do not differ significantly, so more changes happened on the other side. Slippery, shiny and not the best material from issue 2012 has been replaced by a matte and rubberized plastic, which is not quite that looks good, it still prevents accidental slipping out of the hand device. In the central place we find carved logo Nexus, and slightly below the manufacturer – Asus.

In terms of performance and appearance of the new installment of the Google tablet can not be criticized for absolutely nothing. In both aspects should be targeted evaluation. Of course you can dream of metallic elements, but such solutions dramatically increase the price.

Display

7-inch IPS screen is another strong point of our test tablet. Not only because of the exemplary image quality, but also the resolution of 1200 x 1920 pixels. This combination gives us the density of points at 323 ppi. It is worth emphasizing that the last year’s edition of the Nexus 7 had a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels, which gives a 7 inch 216 ppi. The difference is therefore significant and immediately catches the eye.

separate and unavailable for evaluation issue is the multiplicity of devices. 7 inches makes it very compact and mobile. Easily fits in any bag and almost every purse. This allows you to have them always with you. This does not change the fact that the diagonal is relatively short, which will not suit everyone. However, the Nexus 7 is not interested in people who excel in larger screens. For them has yet made Google Nexus 10

Specifications

a year a lot has changed also inside the enclosure. Tegra 3 quad-Snapdragon S4 was replaced by Pro clocked at 1.5 GHz supported by the Adreno 320 GPU and 2 GB of RAM. In the performance test uyzyska? Quadrant score 5475 (last year’s version had 3,500 points).

It turns out that these results are not just numbers. New Nexus handles the operation of the system and the most demanding games – fun in Dead Trigger 2 on the highest settings proceeded very smoothly.

topic specifications worth mentioning the two options capacitive – 16 and 32 GB. Less is obviously cheaper, but keep in mind that the Nexus 7 does not have a memory card slot, and 32 GB user available is only 26 In the case of “Sixteen” situation does not look fun, because after a few weeks (or even days), intense fun simply run out of space.

Noteworthy is the fact that the option is equipped with a SIM card slot supports LTE connectivity.

new Nexus battery is less pojemy from that of last year’s edition, which unfortunately translates to a shorter working time. For example – after 90 minutes of web browsing with 100 percent. got 82 Google ensures that when the cell is a standard use to power the device for 9 hours. In fact, it is slightly worse. And we know that the battery is not a problem that you can not fight. iPad mini copes with it much better.

Operating System

All Nexuses 7 WiFi version should already be running the latest software Google – Android 4.4 KitKat (updated for 3G/LTE variants will be available soon). The update brings mainly improve the operation, slightly altered the appearance of the interface and new features.

But the biggest difference between pageviews, 4.3 and 4.4 can be seen, unfortunately, on your smartphone. New Nexus tablet interface is devoid of, inter alia, transparent background system keys or bars with time. You can see for this slight change colors, icons and UI redesigned camera. Google has also added new features to Google Now and Play Books app.

Tablet Nexus series are executed on Google’s behalf, so new versions will find in the first place, it’s usually a few days or after the premiere. Among other things, therefore, enjoy so much interest – especially among conscious and somewhat more advanced Android users.

Summary and money

New Nexus 7 is better than its predecessor in virtually every aspect. It has improved the appearance and performance, and stronger specification. The latter ensures fast and smooth operation of the system and applications. For minus can be no microSD card slot and a few capacious battery.

last forte Nexus 7 is the price. Version with WiFi and 16 GB of built-in storage space costs less than 1000 z? . For that kind of money simply will not find a better and a new tablet with Android. However, it make a little over 100 z? and buy the version with 32 GB of memory. Greater expense awaits those interested in a variant of 32GB and LTE, because its price is 1499 z? .

Android 4.4 KitKat

Despite the long wait for Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, there is evidence that 4.4 KitKat for Samsung Galaxy S4 is just around the corner. Although the manufacturer has not ventured into the official submission of the promise for a specific date, leaks documents indicate that the beginning of the implementation of the latest updates are already planned for January . Beginning next year, the most makes sense, given that the Taiwanese HTC One pointed out just this date, and because Galaxy S4 Google Edition have already successfully started the update to the latest Google software.

Apparently Android, and it looks like ... iOS - CHIP

It is true that most fans of the Cupertino company nothing can replace the iPhone 5S 5S beyond the iPhone, but Android smartphone owners do not have to be so attached to the brand, and yet more may please them to look iOS -a. In this case the solution is a few applications available on Google Play that completely change the look of the system, it is conformable to the latest version of Apple’s OS.

needed ingredients:

• Espier Launcher 7

Soon Android will receive support for the RAW format and serial ... - PCLab.pl

On the pages of the portal Cnet, Google officially confirmed that the rumors that Android will be supported RAW files are like most true. In addition, native is also to be supported serial picture function so. burst-mode in the camera application. Google’s spokesperson, Gina Scigliano, said that low-level access to these two functions are already finished and the next step will be working on the API. Soon into the hands of developers for the platform to be released the newest version of the API for managing built-in optical sensor device by which they will be able to familiarize yourself with these features.

example of using new features which gave Mrs. Scigliano refers to the concept of the use of serial images. Instead of doing one image, the sensor can be programmed to queue a few quick shots, and each of them will be able to be done with completely different parameters such as exposure. Subsystem camera will record a series of images that they can be freely processed by the application layer. More details can be found in the official document.

Perhaps a regular user will not see major changes soon, but you have to admit that the announcement of the new features creates some interesting possibilities for software developers. With support for RAW format, it is possible that applications for image processing will have a more interesting and more advanced editing of digital images. Can not we see immediately something along the lines of Adobe LightRoom, but more powerful photo editing software designed for Android are always welcome. The more that they are designed primarily for touch screen interface, and low-level access to functions make new or improved applications to a lesser extent resources are devoured our mobile devices.

is not known just when support for RAW files and serial images will be placed in the hands of end users. Google spokesman did not specify the exact timeframe. It all depends on how quickly the work will focus on the implementation of changes to the API.

Leading manufacturers – mainly Qualcomm, Nvidia and MediaTek – have not shown a desire to work on 64-bit processor for Android. In addition, the case of transition to a green robotic 64-bit is much more difficult as in the case of Apple. Devices operating on Adroidzie are hundreds, and it does not help working engineers. For this a lot of works on different processors that support 32 bits – all sorts of Snapdragony, Tegra MediaTek logos or products.
