Smartphones large format Estimated sales of 60 million units for 2013

The smartphone market is expected to be disrupted this year, mainly due to the provision of mobile large formats. Analysts already announced that 2013 will see more than 60 million smartphones widescreen elapse.

The CES was the opportunity to discover what we reserved the smartphone manufacturers and the general orientation is towards a reconciliation with those dimensions of mobile tablets. The Galaxy Note has been a pioneer in the field, offering a hybrid format with a horse between your tablet and smartphone, and most manufacturers now seem to bet big on extra large formats.

Finished the race for the smallest device, today the market is moving towards smartphones to screen more than 5 inches diagonally, While large platforms, but ultra-fine. According to research firm iSuppli, smartphones offer a screen between 5 and 7 inches should represent 60.4 million in sales this year, or 136% more than the previous year. A possible increase in the democratization of LTPS LCD screens and more manufacturers betting on this type of formats.

By 2016, iSuppli estimated that the figure could rise to 146 million units: "The choice to offer a larger screen smartphones reflects the will of an effort from the device manufacturers and suppliers of screens to differentiate their products." Outside Smasung and its Galaxy Note, Chinese manufacturers like ZTE and Huawei have quickly understood the importance of imposing this type of format that is somehow an alternative to purchasing a smartphone and a tablet. In the future, the screens of smartphones should be generalized in the same way that the instructors did, offering 5-inch format as a standard in the field. But increasing the display size will not grow indefinitely either, mobility to take precedence over the rest of the features. Many agree that these new smartphones XL are already too big to move into the pockets come in handy in their primary function: telephone communication. However, some manufacturers are already working on smartphones format 7 inch, remains to be seen what will be another key factor in these smartphones undergoing direct impact of this extension display: autonomy.

The best smartphones of CES 2013 compared in a Benchmark

This year, the CES 2013 has not been as impressive as ads in the past in terms of smartphones. certainly, new platforms have appeared, but ultimately few smartphones available immediately were presented, However, some benchmarks have been achieved.

The CES does not seem really favorite playground manufacturers to present their spearheads, and few of them have succumbed to the temptation to be the flagship of their production, preferring to keep a little mystery to the show in Barcelona. Thus, it is mostly Chinese manufacturers and Sony took advantage of room for larger ads. Engadget now offers a test bench raw performance achieved on the Sony Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, the Huawai Ascend Mate and Ascend D2 and ZTE Grand S.

The tests were performed in Quadrant, AnTuTu, CF-Bench and SunSpider. Overall, except Ascend Mate (which has a 6.1-inch screen), All smartphones have a 5 inch screen with a 1080p display, 2GB of RAM, a quad-core processor: Snapdragon S4 Pro for Sony and ZTE, against a processor K3V2 for Huawei devices. Each operates under Android Jelly Bean and despite relatively similar architectures, are serious gaps in the appointment, evidence that the talent of the assembler is not limited to just gather some high-end chips in a frame. At the level of tests, are therefore smartphones Sony stand largely dispositis other, at least mainly AnTuTu and Quadrant CF-Bench. Some concerns have unfortunately prevented the realization of tests on Huawei devices with SunSpider, and this is the Grand S from ZTE which is the fastest in terms of display web content.

If the tests are to take with tweezers since the platforms tested are not yet fully finalized and could be modified and / or optimized prior to marketing, however, it is sad to see how the gap is growing between the Sony devices and the ZTE Grand S which provide a platform almost identical. On the other hand, Sony had announced clearly make every effort to provide a true competitor to the Samsung Galaxy S III and iPhone 5, and it seems that the manufacturer keeps its promises. Obviously, the results suggest that the raw performance that reflect more potential than actual user experience, and it is to use these smartphones will prove daily interest. A rapeller also the Lenovo K900 under Intel architecture Clover Trail + have achieved a score between 20000 and 25000 points in AnTuTu, Benchmarks war has only just begun ...

An infrared sensor is then identify user actions using a camera to recreate the position of the fingers in shares from the computer. If the Hardware is announced at point, the software part will require a few months before being fully developed, availability is not officially announced, but the price is expected to remain in what was intended when it was launched on Kickstarter: $ 250 for the keyboard, and $ 150 for the mouse.

CES 2013 Auto Tech Will Roll to Las Vegas

Connected, intelligent or without driver, the car of tomorrow announces a technological revolution in the automotive world. 

The connected car is now part of the trends presented at CES 2013 in Las Vegas. Moreover, the major manufacturers settle in Silicon Valley to get closer to the giant high-tech who just like Apple and Google are focusing on this new market. But if Google Car is in testing phase, the iCar does not show the tip of his hood. Meanwhile, car manufacturers have made their mark on the show in Las Vegas.

If the giants like BMW and Mercedes are not the party, Audi will present, as every year, its share of innovations.

After the integration of Facebook and Twitter on the models presented in the auto world in Paris, we now speak of an evolution toward online storage data (Cloud). What access your music or videos through the Internet connection of the vehicle.

The car without driver

Reserved for luxury vehicles, Piloted Audi Experience promises to be one of the most amazing technologies. Using different integrated sensors, the vehicle is capable of driving alone ... in traffic.
