Just a quick and dirty from Gizbeat today. Out taking a comparison HDR shot and thought it would be good for a short post.
HDR stands for High-Dynamic-Range. It’s a method that attempts to make an image more natural looking. When a camera sees a scene, it can attempt to set up the best ISO setting for that scene, if you’ve got high contrasting areas, some areas will invariably come out too bright or too dark. HDR attempts to smooth that out a bit. (more…)
While we’re considering which $200 China phone we’re going to purchase, AT&T is forging ahead with a massive $14 billion plan to upgrade their infrastructure.
One of the drawbacks of LCD technology is difficulty with seeing your screen in direct sunlight. Even the highest quality, brightest screens are sometimes impossible to see on a bright day. (more…)
Though MediaTek / MTK has been around for 15 years, they were relatively unknown until about a year ago when they released their first CPU that could run full, real Android. (more…)
At 12 noon, the updated JiaYu g2 went officially on sale. The price is 599 yuan, and they should be shipping within 7 days. Excellent news, another mtk mt6577 / mtk6577 with 1GB is on the table. Hopefully in the very near future JiaYu will release enough units to keep the masses supplied and happy. -END-
Now, it’s a damn shame that several months after the mtk mt6577 / mtk6577 has been released I can count on one hand the amount of legitimate mt6577 options actually available to purchase. The number dwindles even further when you count only the smartphones with 1gb RAM. (more…)
In part 5 we’ll discuss what could be the biggest reason some of you may want to wait for the MTK MT6589 / MTK6589 and MTK mt6583. The GPU! The SGX544 is a huge step up from SGX531, and will be on-board the quad-core mt6588 / mtk6588 and the dual-core mt6583 as well.
I’ve just got word that the quad-core may be released in October for proofing purposes to manufacturers! Though it remains to be seen for sure, it reportedly will be cheaper than the mtk mt6577 / mtk6577.
Okay, so now that we’ve discussed the ability of the MTK6588 camera being able to handle 13mp photos, let’s get on with the MTK MT6589 / MTK6589’s 1080p video support. At the bottom of this post there’s a graph comparing the various recent and upcoming CPUs from MTK. (more…)
Gorilla glass is the real deal as shown in this short youtube video. While fans wait in anticipation, JiaYu is hard at work getting their licensing agreements finished up with China authorities. Pass some time and watch razor blades scratch across this LCD protection seemingly to no affect. (more…)
