Microsoft Windows Phone 8.1


Microsoft begins sharing Windows Phone 8.1 with developers,Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows RT will be able to share the same code, helping developers more easily create the same apps for phone and tablet. At least, that's the take from a round of leaked details.

Recent reports from ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley and Windows SuperSite's Paul Thurrott suggest that Microsoft is aiming to release a series of updates, collectively codenamed Threshold, in 2015. Threshold will reportedly update Windows, Windows Phone, and Xbox One so that all three platforms can more readily share certain code and other elements.

The majority of devices will receive upgrades in June and July 2012 and we expect to finish upgrades in August 2012 for all announced devices.

When will my device get the Android 4.0 upgrade?

The target timeline for announced devices is below. Because of partner and network testing, and approval processes for device updates, it can take up to 45 days for all carriers and countries to get the update after a rollout has begun.

What version of HTC Sense will come with the Android 4.0 update?

The upgrade to Android 4.0 will include Sense 3.6.

Unveiling Windows Phone 8



Since we began our partnership with Microsoft and delivered the first Windows-based smartphone in 2002 there have been many advancements in the mobile industry. Now, ten years later, we join our partner in celebrating the announcement of Windows Phone 8.

Here at HTC, we know your smartphone is a unique device that matches your personality; in fact it’s really an extension of you. Which is why the announcement of Windows Phone 8 is so important. It provides a greater selection of phones and features, ultimately making it easier for you to find the right phone for your needs.

We’ve always worked closely with Microsoft to identify the unique ways HTC can deliver the best overall Windows Phone experience. To better understand what’s new in Windows Phone 8 and what it means for you, we sat down with Joe Belfiore, Vice President of Windows Phone at Microsoft to discuss today’s announcement.

With all the excitement about the new features in Windows Phone 8 it’s easy to start thinking about what new devices may be coming. We’ll certainly have more details on that later this year. In the meantime, let us know what you think; what are you most excited about with Windows Phone 8?

Samsung Galaxy S3 vs HTC One X

My friend and co-founder of www.techboxcorp.blogspot.com is very excited about the release of HTC One X but I think Samsung Galaxy S III is better than the former. I did some research over internet and viewed some great sites finally I reached the conclusion that Samsung Galaxy S III has a edge over HTC One X. Following is the Comparison from  http://www.knowyourmobile.com   . I hope that you will find it useful and will reach a conclusion to buy best smartphone.


FormHTC One X - 134.4x69.9x8.9mm, 130g
Samsung Galaxy S3 - 136.6x70.6x8.6mm, 133g
The HTC One X is easily one of the best looking smartphones the company has produced so far, alongside its One range stable-mate, the One S. The One X seems to take a few cues from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus with its smoothly rounded shape, curved glass screen and contoured lines. One thing we particularly love about the One range's construction is the use of a unibody design made from a very high-quality plastic with a matte finish. This is one of the nicer Android handsets on the market when it comes to holding the device in your hand. It feels solid and well-made.
Samsung's Galaxy S3 follows a similar ‘Nexus-like' form factor with smooth curves which Samsung say are inspired by pebbles. Like the One X it has a very appealing and modern look. However, unlike the One X it is made from a very glossy and cheap feeling plastic which does it no favours at all.
We have to give HTC the winning vote here as its build quality fits much more with what we'd expect from a premium smartphone.
Winner - HTC One X
DisplayThe One X is equipped with a 4.7-inch Super IPS LCD2 capacitive touchscreen with a 1280x720 pixel resolution, Corning Gorilla Glass and a pixel density of 312 pixels-per-inch (ppi). Although there are a few better displays on the market this is amongst the top tier in our view, offering crisp picture quality, good clarity in brighter light conditions, excellent brightness and colour depth.
The Galaxy S3's display is a little larger at 4.8-inches and instead of LCD uses Samsung's Super AMOLED HD technology. This means deeper blacks and better contrast, but although Super AMOLED HD performs better in sunlight than other OLED types it's not going to be quite as good at this as the Super IPS LCD2 of the One X. In terms of clarity, however, things are pretty good here with the same 1280x720 pixel resolution giving a 306ppi pixel density.
Although these screens have some slightly different strengths and weaknesses they both represent the top of their class in both OLED and LCD display tech. We're calling this a draw.
Winner - Draw
Storage
Samsung's Galaxy S3 comes in three storage variants with either 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of onboard space and each type also has micro SD capability for cards up to 32GB, along with 1GB of RAM to support the processor.
HTC's One X has only one storage variant with 32GB of internal capacity, it also has 1GB of RAM but no card slot.
Samsung has stuck to its usual habit of providing plenty of space and plenty of options, making the Galaxy S3 a preferable choice here.
Winner - Samsung Galaxy S3
ProcessorEach handset runs a quad core setup. The One X uses Nvidia's Tegra 3 chipset clocked at 1.5GHz with a Geforce ULP graphics processing unit (GPU) while the Galaxy S3 has Samsung's own Exynos 4212 chipset at 1.4GHz with a Mali-400MP GPU.
In reality, there aren't any apps or games on the market which take advantage of quad core setups, and very few which utilise dual core. The extra cores might help with multi-tasking, particularly for intensive workloads, but in the main both have an overwhelming reserve of power which isn't really needed, as both can cruise along quite happily anyway.
We found the Tegra 3 chipset can run Ice Cream Sandwich very smoothly indeed and it's perhaps hard to imagine that another chipset could run perceptibly quicker. We do think, however, that on benchmarking the Galaxy S3's Exynos will probably dominate. In practical terms though, we're calling this a draw.
Winner - Draw
Operating System
Both devices run on the latest build of Google's Android platform, Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) 4.0. Overall this provides a faster and more stable Android experience than previous builds and this is consistent across both phones.
They also enjoy a more intuitive menu structure and easy-to-use multi-tasking controls. However, they differ by using each manufacturer's own interface overlays. In the case of the One X we have HTC's Sense 4.0 while the Galaxy S3 uses the newest version of TouchWiz.
Generally these do not dramatically alter the ICS experience other than cosmetic changes, however, the Galaxy S3 has a few additional tweaks. These include a voice control input called S-Voice, which functions in a similar manner to Apple's Siri. Another bonus feature is the ability to make a call to a contact you are texting simply by raising the phone to your ear.
Lastly, the phone's front-facing camera tracks your eye movement and powers the screen on or off depending on whether you're actively using the handset.
Although some of Samsung's changes are impressive we are yet to discover how useful and practical they are in everyday use. In the meantime, we feel this is a draw.
Winner - Draw

Camera

Both handsets have very similar setups. They each sport an 8-megapixel back-illuminated sensor (BSI) with a 3264x2448 pixel resolution for the primary camera. This includes an LED flash, autofocus, geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, image and video stabilisation, HDR, panoramic mode, white balance, ISO control and exposure control. The One X also has continuous autofocus for video.
But it doesn't end there, each handset can capture 1080p HD video and still images simultaneously and features a rapid multi-shot mode with a ‘best shot' selection capability. Both are also capable of video calling on their front-facing secondary cameras, the One X's is rated at 1.3-megapixels and the Galaxy S3's is 2-megapixels capturing video at 720p HD quality.
Although there are a few feature differences overall we feel both handsets have excellent cameras which most users will be more than happy with.
Final thoughts
The Galaxy S3 is an impressive piece of kit in most areas as compared to HTC One X. We'd go with Samsung Galaxy S3.
