Introduction

HTC has evolved over time with her flag device as HTC one xl , Even after the Taiwanese company released  the first 1080p smartphone in the US with the DROID DNA, followed by the first global 1080p smartphone - the HTC Butterfly and yet its sales have failed to pick up.

There’s no doubt about it — the HTC One is a fine piece of kit. It’s particularly beautiful when viewed from the back and sides, with a semi-pyramidal shape reminiscent of HTC’s own J Butterfly and phones like the Xperia Ion. The front is more staid and channels the BlackBerry Z10. Look a little closer and the attention to detail is staggering — this is a product that stands shoulder to shoulder with the iPhone 5 in terms of materials and build quality.

But the question remains, will this new gadget of theirs turn the tides for the Taiwanese firm? will it increase the love?

The United States have already had the pleasure to meet HTC's DROID DNA, while certain Asian countries and Russia have got the HTC Butterfly. It's now time for the rest of the world to be treated to a 1080p smartphone by HTC with the company's new flagship, dubbed simply One.

The HTC One

Running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset with four Krait 300 cores clocked at 1.7 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and Adreno 320 the One has a serious stake as one of the best-powered around.

At just 0.37 inch at its thickest point and 0.12 inch deep at its thinnest,this is one crazy-slim device.

The display is a 4.7" 1080p unit backed by the Super LCD3 technology and offering the whopping 469 ppi pixel density. The bezels are very thin, making for smartphone notably smaller than the DROID DNA / Butterfly.

Each side of the screen has a stereo speaker, which are really pretty loud. According to HTC they output 93 dB of sound.

The HTC One is set to premiere Sense 5 - the latest version of the company's custom launcher. The homescreen has b

mAh more than the Butterfly has). You can buy spare batteries up to 4 so that during your long journey in the train or flight you could enjoy loads of movies or games, of testing your instagram features and be rest assured that battery will not run out

The biggest innovation on the lastest HTC One is the camera – behind the bright F/2.0 lens sits a 4MP sensor with Ultrapixels, which are much larger than the ones found in most other smartphones.

Design-wise the HTC One looks somewhat like a BlackBerry Z10 but uses an aluminum unibody, which looks really amazing.

Now the question is, when some extra cash rolls in your pocket, will you consider a change of vendor, will you dump your phone to get a new one from HTC?

It's true what they say times fly. Just six months that Android 4.0 was released and the running public have barely being touched by it. Guess some of us have to leap to Android 4.1. Google official pulled the wrapper off its new Android.

 One of the greatest feature is the project butter which focuses more on the performance and response time, improve CPU utilization. Google showed two Galaxy Nexus smartphones, one running Ice Cream Sandwich and the other Jelly Bean to demonstrate the huge difference that Project Butter makes. It's really quite impressive.

Easier photo sharing
Ice Cream Sandwich brought new camera capabilities to Android phones such as burst mode and snapping pictures while shooting video, which handset makers such as Samsung and HTC have certainly exploited. Now with Jelly Bean, Google will add a Filmstrip view for faster photo navigation. You can also crop photos for sharing, and swipe away images you can't stand with a quick finger motion to delete. It sounds good to me since I'd much rather perform minor edits on my phone than have to muck around with images on a full laptop system.

Better predictive keyboard
First let me say I actually like the stock Android keyboard, ever since Gingerbread. I've always appreciated how word suggestions are placed on top of the virtual keys and aren't forced on me through an autocorrect function. Google says though that it's made improvements to Jelly Bean's internal dictionary in an effort to be provide more accurate word-completion options.

For those of us that typing isn't our calling, two features that will ease the stress. 

Voice typing
Here's one of Jelly Bean's slickest improvements, something Google calls Voice Typing. Essentially you'll be able to dictate whole paragraphs to your Jelly Bean phone and it will dutifully jot down what you say, even punctuation marks. Now that's a smartphone function that could really come in handy -- if it works as advertised. Even better, Jelly Bean will place the tools needed to perform Voice Typing locally, so you'll be able to dictate offline and without a network connection. The most interesting part is you get to use it offline!

Voice search
With Voice Search it's clear Google is gunning for Apple's Siri in a big way. Google has had what it called Voice Actions for years, but Voice Search looks to be much more robust. While Voice Actions will launch some apps and initiate texts, e-mails, and Web searches, Voice Search seems to be intended to behave like a personal assistant, providing complete results in one central location.

   Android 4.1 Jelly bean will be released mid July. So look out for it!

 Meet the Nokia 103 - the most affordable phone the Fins have ever manufactured. Announced in Nigeria today, the Nokia 103 will cost just €16 and is aimed at developing markets.
The Nokia 103 runs Series 30 on a 1,36-inch black and white display (how long has it been since you last saw a new device with this type of display?). And with its sturdy, anti-scratch covers and dust resistance the Nokia 103 will be pretty hard to break.
Measuring at 107.2mm x 45.1mm x 15.3mm and weighing just 77 grams, the 103 features a 800mAh battery, which can keep it going for 27 days of standby and 11 hours of talk time. There's also an integrated flashlight, preloaded games and stereo FM.
The Nokia 103 will initially start selling in Nigeria, but you can expect it to go global appearance in the coming weeks.
