LG will not allow other mobile giants in the likes of HTC and Samsung to over shadow them. In line of today's powerful smartphones in the likes of HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S3, LG came out with their own powerhouse smartphone. Yes, I am talking about the up and coming LG Optimus 4X HD.

We can now say goodbye to powerful dual-core smartphones and hello to extremely powerful quad-core handsets. Yes, this year we will all witness the real raw power of a quad-core processor on a smartphone. LG was able to come out with an extremely powerful handset whilst boasting a sleek design.

Let us start with answering the question "why is it sleek?" Although there are no official measurements on this handset for now, what we know is that it comes in with a thickness of 8.9mm only. For a handset that packs a powerful processor, this is truly slim. This is the same as the HTC One X. The Samsung Galaxy S3 on the other hand is slimmer at 8.6mm only. But then again, we are talking about a difference of.3mm only. It's barely unnoticeable if you ask me.

When it comes to display screen, this handset packs a whopping 4.7" HD-IPS LCD capacitive touch screen. It is wide and huge for such a slim handset. It also packs a screen resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and with 312 ppi for its pixel density. Again, can you imagine this kind of a display screen on such a slim handset? I know it's hard to believe it, but this is the trend now. Powerful phones packed inside a slim body.

It also comes in with 16GB worth of internal storage and 1GB worth of RAM. You can also add as much as 32GB worth of memory via the phone's microSD card slot. If that is not enough, well I am happy to tell you that this phone also ship with a powerful 8MP rear-facing camera (3264 x 2448 pixels). You will also get a 1.3MP front-facing camera on this handset. Another big plus is that you can record videos in full-HD (at 1080 pixels and at 30 frames per second).

A Look At The Yahoo! App for the iPhone 4S

The Apple iPhone 4S continues to be as popular as ever despite ongoing and increasingly impressive competition from Android and Windows powered smartphones. One of the major attractions of Apple's flagship smartphone is the ability to download apps from the AppStore. News apps are a popular category and in this article I will look at the popular Yahoo! news app.

Yahoo! is one of the world's biggest websites, offering global as well as country specific news and weather as well as providing services like email and finance info. The iPhone 4S Yahoo! app provides all of these services and more providing a one stop shop for all the Yahoo! services.

The Yahoo! app has a simple to use interface, with icons for news, friends, mail and search functionality on the homescreen for easy access to your desired service. The news aspect of the app uses the built in GPS functionality of the iPhone 4S to provide news which is relevant to your country. You can also toggle between local and world news headlines. News headlines are similar to those that you will find on other new services like CNN or BBC news apps, and are generally ranked by importance and are updated quickly so they will appear as news happens.

There is also a weather service which like the news headlines, will show relevant weather data for your current location which can also be toggled to select weather information for other countries which can be handy if you are planning on travelling abroad.

The Yahoo! email service is also integrated, so you can access you Yahoo! email account from the app where you can read, write and send new emails. The app also stores your contacts for this email service so there is no need to download a standalone email app, although there is a dedicated Yahoo! email app available and the iOS email app also integrates with Yahoo! email accounts so you can choose whichever app you prefer for email tasks.

Yahoo! also offers plenty of articles which as you may have noticed on Facebook, can be linked to your Facebook account and it will show your friends which articles you have read, so they can also read them if they are interested.

The Yahoo! app is great for news but also has the added bonus of email functionality, social article sharing and weather information. This puts it ahead of the majority of rivals in terms of its versatility and the features it offers.

The iPhone 4S benefits from this and many more apps, arguably making it the most versatile smartphone available today. The iPhone 4S makes the Yahoo! news app easy to use with its simple touchscreen operation, and the embedded images and videos look great on the retina display. Apple iPhone 4S deals are available now from all major UK networks.

Comparing Key Features Of The Samsung Galaxy S3 And Sony Xperia S

The Sony Xperia S is one of the most advanced Android smartphones out there. It has a powerful dual-core processor, advanced touchscreen and a camera with a whopping 12 megapixel resolution. Samsung meanwhile, has just released its latest flagship handset, the Galaxy S3. In this article I will compare a few of the key features of these two handsets so you can decide which one comes out on top.

Both handsets are their respective manufacturers' most advanced releases to date. To begin I will see what features the phone have in common...

The Android OS id the platform of choice, with the Samsung Galaxy S3 of course sporting the latest version called Ice Cream Sandwich. The Sony Xperia S has the previous Android version known as Gingerbread installed as standard, but it has been confirmed that it will support an update to Ice Cream Sandwich. Both handsets run their manufacturer-specific UI over the top. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has the TouchWiz UI, but this is also an updated version to that found on its popular predecessor, the Galaxy S2. The Sony Xperia S has the TimeScape UI, so both offer aesthetic and practical differences to the default Android interface. Aside from the software, the phones actually have very little in common when it comes to their main specifications.

In terms of their cameras, they are both very impressive. The Samsung Galaxy S3 has an 8 megapixel camera and this comes packed with nifty features like the ability to capture simultaneous photos and videos, the ingenious burst shot feature, and the ability to recognise your friends in photos through face recognition software. What the Sony Xperia S lacks in features like those mentioned on the Galaxy S2, it makes up for with its picture quality. At 12 megapixels this is one of the highest pixels resolutions of any camera phone and like the new Samsung, can capture video footage in up to 108p which is full high definition.

The processor is another major difference between these phones. The Sony Xperia S, at the time of its release shared the title (with the HTC Sensation XE) as the most powerful smartphone available in terms of its processing power, thanks to a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor. At the MWC event in Barcelona in February though, several quad-core handsets were unveiled from the likes of HTC, LG and Huawei. The Samsung Galaxy S3 joins these as one of the few phones with a quad-core processor with a clock speed of 1.4 GHz. This provides almost unrivalled performance from several aspects of the phone ranging from the quality of on screen graphics, the speed at which the camera operates, web browsing speeds and the responsiveness of the touchscreen to name but a few benefits. The Sony Xperia S is still a very powerful phone though, and unless you are well versed in the intricacies of this technology, you are unlikely to notice a difference during day to day use.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 goes to show how quickly smartphone technology is advancing. The Sony Xperia S is a great phone, but on paper some of its features have almost been rendered obsolete in a matter of months. If you want the latest and greatest smartphone technology currently available, look no further than the Samsung Galaxy S3.
