Windows Phone 8X to equip Verizon Wireless charging

In contrast to ours, the mobile market in the U.S. is highly dependent on the operators. Despite the fact that their influence on user devices each year is decreasing, it is still crucial. Major manufacturers, including HTC, sometimes made specifically for operators of unique versions of smartphones or completely exclusive device. Windows Phone 8X for Verizon is more related to the first class, as the global version looks like, there is some change in the "filling."
HTC 8X Red 
The largest U.S. operator Verizon, working with technologies CDMA and LTE, wanted to get their hands on new items from all manufacturers of devices with Windows Phone 8. Soon, in the branded showrooms can be purchased Nokia Lumia 822, the unique operator version Lumia 820 in December expect Samsung ATIV Odyssey, and he will be a little earlier and operator branded version of Windows Phone 8X from HTC. Externally, it is virtually identical to the original version, however, the thickness and weight of the device is likely to change slightly in a big way.Verizon-version WP8-flagship of the Taiwanese corporation becomes thicker by adding support for wireless charging. This information came from an online edition The Verge as an official comment, not hearing. Unfortunately, no details yet. It is unlikely that the system will be built in accordance with standards recently introduced A4WP, but that's compatible with the Qi would be very out of place. After all, the guys from Nokia promised to equip Qi-compatible chargers, many cafes in the United States, a sin not to use it at a time when that Lumia 822 will support wireless charging.

Keyboard Android 4.2 will compete with Swype

 
Google's had to give up a magnificent event to commemorate the launch of latest version of its mobile operating system, due to the severe weather conditions. In spite of this, the announcement of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (yes, the name remained) took place - the search giant has decided to limit press releases. Changes in the latest version of Android do not seem too significant, but some innovations derive the OS to a higher level. These aspects and the new standard keyboard which supports the input gestures.
Android 4.2 Gesture Typing
Perhaps starting with version Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the guys from Google seriously undertook improvement standard keyboard. Perhaps in Android 4.0 ICS they were even able to catch up with the best in quality input third-party solution, leaving a simple keyboard with a minimum of configuration. In Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the announcement of which was held this year, the keyboard was more serious and almost finalized for the user to think out the phrase itself. In Android 4.2, the developers have added so beloved by many input words without lifting your finger from the screen (Gesture Typing)!If you listened to on such third-party keyboards like Swype or SlideIt, then typing "gestures" for you is not an empty word. In fact, the users only need to drag your finger from one letter to another word on the keyboard, the smartphone itself will also select the most appropriate option for the context. All try this type of input is divided into two halves: the admired him and those he is annoying. If you belong to the first type, the new Android 4.2 keyboard for you!In the video you can see the gestures themselves are decorated quite nicely - the finger moves the blue line, marking his path, and above it there is a word that has a keyboard. Looks quite stylish and cute, and also does not negate the conventional touch input - they can be combined. Certainly, in the options of keyboard input gestures can be disabled if the user so, and never gets used.

As you know, there is no installation apk final version of the keyboard. Enter English text in it relatively well, but while there is a Russian problem. However, the company has asked Google to remove the large resources and links to these files, as the alpha version is not as high quality as the final.

Google brings the announcement of the new Android

Google has officially announced the postponement of today's event on the launch of the new version of Android devices and the announcement of the latest line of Nexus. This is not the first time that Google is changing the date - a similar situation occurred with the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, but this time the reason for the transfer is a natural disaster.
Nexus 4 Render
On Monday, October 29, was scheduled announcement of the new version of Android (probably, Android 4.2) together with the representation of the product line fresh Nexus. Unfortunately, on Friday, it was clear - the event will have to waive, as press-service Google has notified all the invited journalists. The reason for the transfer, this time was a disaster - Hurricane Sandy (Hurricane Sandy). This powerful tropical cyclone is forecast to October 29 will pass through the area where the announcement was to be held, and the government declared it a complete evacuation. In Google despite all the resulting losses have put people's safety the top priority.To monitor the situation with the hurricane created special Live-channels on YouTube, one of them you can see above. It broadcasts the freshest news about the hurricane Sandy and being topical reports. On Monday, the winds in the area of ​​this cyclone reached 28 meters per second (60 miles per hour). It is expected that on Tuesday the cyclone will go away and the wind will decrease a little, but it does not mean that will be lifted a state of emergency - even tomorrow the wind will be too strong.While the search giant does not report on where and when will the announcement. Apparently, Google will wait for Hurricane care and only after that will give information. As mentioned above, the announcement of Android 4.0 ICS, which took place just over a year ago, well tolerated, but then the reasons were purely technical.Of course, there is no official information as to what had to show today, but there is quite a credible pictures and find that approximately describe the changes in the latest Android 4.2 and Nexus. As long as we know - a new version of Android made significant changes to the security of user data and purses. Introduced new security policy, check downloadable applications on the smartphone or tablet, and more.Nexus 4 RenderIt has long been known that Google will show only new smartphone Nexus 4, produced by the Korean company LG. Externally, it has retained many features of the Galaxy Nexus by Samsung, the display size and resolution were similar, and the LED below the screen in place, continuity - perfectly. However, filling the product is completely different in Nexus 4 is a quad-core Qualcomm APQ8064 and 2 GB of RAM in HTC J butterfly.

Testing the HTC One X with Android 4.1 JB

Recently in Asia began the renovation of the current flagship HTC to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Update promised to bring the total acceleration of the system, the smoothness of the interface and some fresh features as from Google, and from HTC. Sounds promising, more interesting to look at the test results HTC One X after the update.
HTC One X Android 4.1 GSMArena edition published the results of testing HTC One X with the official firmware based on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in the three most popular benchmarks. First in line is the Chinese AnTutu Benchmark team. It One X with NVidia Tegra 3 inside gets 12,932 points, which is only slightly less than the Samsung Galaxy Note II (Android 4.1 JB) with Exynos 4 Quad, dctuj lag is just over 500 points. Third in global Samsumg Galaxy S III with Jelly Bean on board - 12 288 points. For reference, HTC One X with Ice Cream Sandwich makes this test about 11,633.
One X by HTC Android 4.1 AnTutu
The second in the series of tests was Quadrant, advanced user familiar to any Android-devices benchmark. And it HTC One X with Jelly Bean on board was in second place (6,822 points), second flagship Optimus G with Qualcomm APQ8064 from inside, which scored a striking result already in 7439 points. For the third place fight HTC One X (ICS) and the Samsung Galaxy S III (JB), but the gap with the new result of the Taiwan leader is great.Finally, the last test that can be performed on any device with a browser and an Internet connection, - SunSpider. It checks the speed of processing JavaScript in your browser device, naturally, depends on the characteristics and system software, as well as from the engine of the browser itself. In this benchmark One X in fourth place, behind the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy Note II and Motorola RAZR i. The full balance of the test suite with the One X Jelly Bean passed for 1117 ms. For comparison, the earlier the same tests were run for 1468 ms, so that the increase in system performance and browser visible.All the above benchmarks show that the smartphone just got a new life after the installation of Jelly Bean. This is a direct argument for those who still doubt the need to update the system software.

Nokia Lumia FX800 Concept by Vilim Plužarić Has a Titanium Unibody Design

Vilim Plužarić created a Nokia concept phone called FX800, that has become famous on a couple of blogs and sites over the past days. We’re dealing with an unique smartphone, that started from the idea of the Nokia 8910 Titanium from back in 2002, in a more evolved version. This is a 4.65 inch smartphone with a titanium unibody case and obviously Windows Phone 8 on board.
Nokia Lumia FX800 Concept by Vilim Plužarić Has a Titanium Unibody Design
Nokia Lumia FX800 features a 4.65 inch ClearBlack AMOLED HD screen, a laser cut body and measures just 8 mm in thickness. It packs a 1.5 GHz dual core Snapdragon S4 processor and 1 GB of RAM, plus 16 GB of storage. These specs are very much like the ones of the Lumia 920 in real life, to which the designer added a 12 megapixel camera. The screen supports a 720p resolution and its design seems to be a combo between the Nokia 8910 Titanium, Nokia X7 and the N9 model from last year.
People have been criticizing a lot the user of plastic materials like polycarbonate for modern handsets. They want the styling of the iPhone 5 with glass and aluminum and I expect that future Windows Phone and Android devices will take that requirement into account. So, are you for titanium or plastic materials? Have your say in the comments below!

Sony Xperia Pad and Pad L Concepts are 5.8 Inch Phablets

Ben Ling imagined a bunch of Sony Xperia phablets dubbed Sony Xperia Pad and Xperia Pad L, that you can see pictured below. The devices rely on a 5.8 inch touchscreen, which would fit the rumors we’ve heard about Sony making  an Android device with a huge diagonal. The 5.8 inch screen here is a Full HD TFT one, that’s both shatter proof and scratch resistant.
Sony Xperia Pad and Pad L Concepts are 5.8 Inch Phablets
Sony Xperia Pad’s specs include a 16 megapixel camera with LED flash, a HDMI port, Sony White Magic technology and a quad core 2.3 GHz Krait CPU. The handset uses Exmor RS tech for the camera, that offers Full HD capture and 16x digital zoom. There’s also a front 2 megapixel camera, with 1080p capture as well. For the graphics we’ve got an Adreno 320 GPU and the measurements of the device include a thickness of 9.2 mm for the Pad and 9.5 for the Pad L.
NFC is in board as well and the weight of the device is 170 grams for the Pad and 181 for the Pad L. 2GB of RAM and Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean are also here, as well as 32 GB of storage. From what I can see in the pictures the differences between devices are the upper and lower edge of the handsets. You should also know that the Xperia Pad uses a Li-Ion 3000 mAh battery, while the Xperia Pad L has a Li-Ion 3300 mAh battery. Quite an interesting design, but a bit too compact for my taste…

Home | About | Contact Us Suggest a concept! Concept Phone Designs and News Nokia Lumia 940 Concept is Made Entirely of Carbon

The concept Nokia models made by Edgar Mkrtchyan are simply stunning, so it was a joy when he sent us a new model, the Nokia Lumia 940, made entirely of carbon. The device adopts a more rounded approach to the usual Lumia design and runs Windows Phone 8, as the author claims.
Nokia Lumia 940 Concept is Made Entirely of Carbon
The material at the back reminds me of a knitted sweater or of a basket made of small, flexible branches. It may be the same idea of weaving kevlar like on the Motorola Droid RAZR. Anyway, you should know that the Nokia Lumia 940 features a carbon shell with a large curved screen and inside there’s a dual core 1.5 GHz processor, while upfront we’ve got a 4.5 inch PureMotion HD+ 1280 x 768 screen with Gorilla Glass protection.At the back there’s a 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash and 1080p video capture. Powering up the entire unit is a 3000 mAh battery and as far as connectivity goes, there’s microUSB, NFC, Bluetooth and Nokia 3.5 AV. I find this to be a very interesting handset and among the advantages of carbon I can think of is its low weight and pretty high durability. Fancy the Nokia 940?

Comparison of the middle segment of the new Windows Phone

 
In the next couple of weeks will be available the first wave of new smartphones on Windows Phone 8 from three companies. All of these manufacturers have attended the flagship issue, but one of them, Samsung, decided not to announce the mid-market product. So, in the competition for the buyer's attention in the arena of available devices will be involved only Windows Phone 8S from HTC and Lumia 820 from Nokia.
Lumia vs HTC 8SYesterday we did a little comparison flagship products on Windows Phone 8, and now will try not to disappoint, and at about the same level as a comparison of two affordable products. Maybe it will help someone choose the smartphone that is more to the soul.Display. 
HTC 8S: 4-inch, 800 x 480 (WVGA), SuperLCDNokia Lumia 820: 4.3 inch, 800 x 480 (WVGA), AMOLED with ClearBlackBoth companies took advantage of the non-flagship Windows Phone screen technology that was used in the flagships on WP7. HTC is familiar for the first year SuperLCD first generation, an inexpensive screen with good characteristics. On the characteristics of the screen to close 8S fixed in HTC Incredible S. Nokia used with proprietary technology AMOLED ClearBlack, allowing you to display deep blacks. Screen smartphone from HTC slightly less, but the image on it will be a little clearer.CPU, memory.HTC 8S: Qualcomm MSM8227 dual-core 1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB of data recording, MicroSD support availableNokia Lumia 820: Dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 with a frequency of 1.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB of data recording, MicroSD support availableAccording to the "iron" middling from Nokia is very close to the leader - it uses the same processor and even the same amount of memory. Built-in memory is noticeably smaller Lumia 920, but expanding memory cards. Established in HTC 8S chip - a dark horse, and the rest of his features are not yet known. However, we can already say that its performance is much less of a competitor. And the built-in accelerator Adreno 305 significantly less productive than the Adreno 225 with Lumia 820. The smartphone HTC is also half the RAM and memory to store the data, and if the latter is offset by the presence of the card slot MicroSD, then RAM is supplemented. However, it should be enough for all the tasks that can run Windows Phone.Camera. 
HTC 8S: 5 MP, avtofokuc, aperture f/2.8, 35 mm lens, coprocessor ImageSenseNokia Lumia 820: 8 MP, autofocus, optical CarlZeis. The front camera with a resolution of 0.3 MPOn the camera phone from HTC is clearly inferior, despite the individual responsible for processing the photo chip. Of course, both devices will make good and probably close as pictures, but from a marketing point of view, in terms of looks Lumia camera better. And the presence of the front camera is also a plus smartphone Nokia. 
Body materials, thickness, weight, battery capacity.HTC 8S: polycarbonate, 10.28 mm, 113 grams, 1700 mAhNokia Lumia 820: polycarbonate, 9.9 mm, 160 g, 1650 mAh Housing units are made of bright polycarbonate. But if the cap Lumia 820 monochrome, the HTC decided to stop in the middle segment of the combination of colors and made the case itself 8S one color, and the design elements and the cover - the other. Lumia 820 too heavy for a device of this nature, and the battery could be more concise. But apart from the usual Nokia removable lids promised and those that will add support for wireless charging device.Even an ardent fan of the Taiwanese understand that Nokia Lumia 820 is a cut above the competitor from HTC. However, there is still one important factor that is often changing opinions about the device. Of course, I'm talking about the cost. Despite the fact that the Russian price tags on both products yet to be announced, we can say that Windows Phone 8S from HTC will cost at least 4,000 cheaper competitor. So he has a good chance to compete for a buyer.

YouMagic - I called for a penny in Egypt

have never traded in the market, rarely walk into discounts, but spend less money on calls to another country, I really wanted to. Search local service or use their own SIM cards in Egypt - not the most attractive option, well, you know.
YouMagic
I decided to try the ip-telephony. Long delved offers operators and various softphones. Ask around with friends, advised youmagic, where the operator himself made softphone. I registered on the site, there are two numbering. With international long I did not really understand, and I direct Moscow number in the subject, even for work, took him.Registration algorithm is not complicated. The site must enter passport information, like mobile operators, but do not need to go anywhere and write by hand nothing. Following a notification by e-mail to download the application from Google Play on your android. You can still make calls from your computer, if you have a microphone. For the test with Goldie threw 300 rubles. Which pleased instant-display charging before the bell, and the flags fun change for calls to various countries. Although the first in Egypt to me more useful. Calls to Russia for any fixed numbers cost me Rs 0.99, on all cellular 1.49 rubles. The subscription fee for city number 300 rubles, it includes day 2 hours talking to Moscow or St. Petersburg Urban room. My wife is more than two hours without blurts out, so for 10 days in Egypt 300 rubles I have not spoken. Call through WIFI showed good performance. One call over 3G, the call took place, but the hearing was average, if we slow down, the dialogue is real. 3G is not on HEX abroad, so a mobile phone on the beach, I did not take, and a WIFI throughout the hotel.YouMagicSummarize. Before flying this your Moscow number, I left all the relatives and colleagues fit, adding that they would be on a mobile did not even try to call. Experiment with youmagic in Egypt proved itself to all the 99.9%! I have not called myself, but when I call all those who can, I felt comfortable, I could discuss your business hours. Finally I showered rubles to 200, no more. Call me, to rob the balance did not complain. Their website has an international number written that it has no monthly fee, will have to dig. Autumn plan to choose a different direction for the rest, to ask all of this "fit" in youmagic, and then we do not pay for the calls, since at youmagic youmagic Freestuff calls. In any case, the site - www.youmagic.com

FullHD-screen on a smartphone is not needed?

A couple of years ago it seemed that despite the overall increase in power platform for smartphones, one remain immutable - the size and resolution of the display. At that time it was thought that the most reasonable diagonal display smartphone is 4.3 inches with a resolution of 800 x 480. Someone even called this monstrous screen and claimed that more than 3.5 inches diagonal for a significant part of the users do not need. However, in recent years the situation has changed, and HTC is a smartphone with a 5-inch diagonal display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. But whether such a device is the world?
FullHD mobile
Each revised YouHTC have their own opinion on the matter. There are among us fans of the "shovel" and those who do not accept their existence, despite the huge sales of flagship smartphone Samsung. However, we will leave a shaky topic diagonal and take up the other option - resolution. We all met HTC J butterfly, and in particular - to display FullHD-unanimous "Wow", but here McLeish Fisher (Michael Fisher) from Pocketnow have their own opinion on that.Let's face it, his opinion is better to consider the so-called trolling or even "pounce", but some sound grain in it. The first idea is that by creating a device with a large screen with high resolution, we set it in a big long and heavy rechargeable battery. Or force users to live near a power outlet. With a diagonal of everything is obvious - the bigger it is, the greater the number of cells must be nourished. In fact, with a resolution of the situation is similar - with its increase, we are increasing the number of cells. Of course, a little less than the cells themselves, and perhaps the current supplied to them need a little less, but the overall consumption is still growing.On the second negative aspect FullHD-screen as you might guess - processing power. The processor and graphics cards have to handle high-resolution textures, which consequently requires more powerful hardware. Michael gives the example of the iPad 3 and Retina-display when the buyers of the new device did not see any increase in the speed of the device and games for him.J butterfly screen compare to iPhone 5Finally, and, again, the obvious argument against FullHD display smartphone - users still do not see the difference between FullHD and HD Ready. As a big fan of technology Apple, Michael has full confidence in Steve Jobs and his phrase that their screen with Retina perfect and exceeds the number of pixels per inch, the maximum resolution that the eye sees. Recall: Retina-display has a 326 ppi. By the way, my first smartphone with a resolution of more than Retina HTC introduced last year - this is for Verizon HTC Rezound with 342 ppi. However, the new J butterfly surpassed all: its display is 440 pixels per inch. Michael says that in such a clear picture is unnecessary. However, the concept of Retina - marketing clean water, and measure the human eye perceives the image in pixels correctly.In the end I would like to give their comments on the brief account of Mr. Fisher's thoughts. As I said above, they have a grain of truth, but I would say all of the above price of progress. Remember when the first dual-core processor and qHD-display appeared in Android-smartphones, ardent fans of Apple and Windows Phone said it was all of no use to their great system - it works for them and allowing enough. However, now and in the smartphone Apple, and installed fresh Windows Phone chips with two cores, and a display resolution in expensive solutions much larger than WVGA. I think this idea will be a good end of the article.

New Apple Tablet end of 2012

Connector is smaller and more convenient to the previous one, you can insert any of the two sides. Second, inside the new iPad Apple A6X processor now with a more powerful graphics subsystem. These are the main changes that have occurred with the device and they are minimal. This is probably the fastest update product Apple, because with the previous version was only about six months.A much more interesting device is Apple iPad mini with screens 7.9 inches. This innovation was waiting the whole industry, and he predicted that he finally "kill» Android-tablets. Time will put everything in its place, however, until the result does not look too bright. First of all, a display resolution of 1024 x 768, as the "big» iPad before they display Retina. IPad mini screen on characteristics pale look at the background of the same Nexus 7, 163 ppi against with which it was compared to the scene. Installed inside the dual core processor Apple A5, but the amount of RAM is not disclosed. Perhaps the most positive part of the tablet - the weight. He is only 308 grams in Wi-Fi-version and 316 in LTE. By the way, the presence of LTE-version can be seen as another advantage of this device. IPad mini enclosure is made of metal, another of Apple and you do not expect, in the presence of a front and a regular camera.But with the price tag of the device out of luck: the youngest Wi-Fi-version with 16 GB of on-board is $ 329, which is $ 80 more than the current price tag Nexus 7 with the same amount of embedded media. In this case, we consider the current state of affairs, as expected, that is October 29 in place of the model from the Tablet PC version of Google will fall to 32 GB, and 16 GB will be available for a few tens of dollars cheaper. Generally, the announcement of Apple's tablet is somewhat puzzling, because the Cupertino-based company first becomes a catch-up on the tablet, and update the "big» iPad in a few months looks very strange.

The speed of the browser on HTC J butterfly

 
 HTC J butterfly Japan Site
HTC J butterfly - the most advanced and powerful Android-powered smartphone from the selection HTC. Device affects the size and quality of the display and the power of the filling, which can handle any state of the art mobile game. But what is surprising users, when the smartphone, which has just launched a game with gorgeous graphics, and brake suddenly lag when viewing seemingly normal web page! Modern graphics rich and complex layout web page often with visible effort rendered in brazuere on my desktop. How to cope with this new challenge with the four hearts and FullHD-display?Outset that HTC J butterfly, available at the launch of a new line of smartphones for operators auKDDI, surely carry on board firmware is not final, so that part of the problems with the smartphone to be released in December, it will probably be fixed. So far, we see that the internet site look just gorgeous on a huge five-inch FullHD-bright display. Scrolling works without problems, with zoom in and out pages plucking gesture text becomes clear almost immediately - before it took considerable time. Of significant problems can be noted that the long scrolling page, there are some items - but this is more browsers out there, or the engine.As a result, we can say that the set inside HTC J butterfly SoC APQ8064 Qualcomm's perfectly cope with the modern web. No wonder, Qualcomm engineers in their commercials always said that developed their architecture rather than a standard Cortex just counting on specific user needs, and not for any performance increase in synthetic tests. It should be borne in mind that, and 2 GB of RAM in HTC J butterfly will come in handy - the browser can easily be in the background with a lot of tabs open, even after the game was launched. However, this is will depend on the modifications which made the Taiwanese manufacturer to the system. Recall that most of the problems the owners of the first smartphones One series was due to the fact that HTC has included its own mechanism for multitasking.

HTC did not fire without warning

HTC Taoyuan
The economy of Taiwan is highly dependent on exports consumer electronics, and HTC is one of the most important and largest manufacturers thereof, along with Acer, ASUS, or OEM-supplier Foxconn. In fact, at this point, all manufacturers have problems with the volume of exports, which is immediately reflected in the economy. The situation is difficult, so that anyone, even not related to economic indicators scandal, he immediately responds to serious discussion in the press.

What surprise Mr. Chiu, when in October he received notification on your phone from the recruitment agency that HTC again promptly gaining a new state agency and invites him.A former employee of the company said that HTC does not comply with reasonable standards of salaried staff and actually making fun of him. The same opinion Son S Lian (Son Yu-lian), secretary general of Taiwan Labor Front, which took up the defense of Mr. Chiu and his fellow-sufferers. He stresses that local contract workers in a factory in Taoyuan, where he worked, Mr. Chiu, more than a thousand, and each of them can have a similar position.Naturally, HTC did not stay aside and issued an official statement on the situation: "HTC is always subject to the law on labor and the protection of workers' rights." The same emphasis on the fact that the company only works with the modern recruitment agency, which also adheres to all laws.The situation is quite delicate and it will be engaged at the highest level. Works Council Taiwan carefully check and the contract itself, and there is a complaint to see if there were any laws broken. Only after that will be made a decision, possibly punitive.

HTC DLX again at the photo, this time for Verizon

Mysterious smartphone named HTC DLX (Deluxe) appeared again on the informal shots. The first photos of the device have appeared in the last month, they were clear enough to understand - it's not fake. A little later, came from different sources likely specification smartphone, close to each other, but sometimes do not coincide with each other. New pictures much to clarify the situation with the device.
HTC DLX Back
According to earlier data was thought that HTC DLX comes exclusively from the largest U.S. operator Verizon, was launched at the results of FCC certification to prove it. But the recent announcement of the HTC J butterfly led many to begin to doubt this information, because the novelty was clearly thus DLX.

HTC DLX InfoButterfly black version is very similar to the device with the pictures. When J butterfly into the hands of inquisitive reporters, they restarted the smart phone into bootloader mode, where we saw the inscription HTC DLX J, similar to the new J is defined in AnTutu Benchmark. No need to be very astute person to understand - the letter J stands for Japan. But that does not negate the existence of a loved one, but a different product with a name that does not exist J.Recent pictures published Android Central, confirm that non-Japanese DLX exist. On the case fell under the lens of black devices are not specific to the Japanese version of the contacts on the back of the cover, but in the presence of an inscription on a huge screen Verizon. By the way, the design of the top of the smartphone, just above the name of the operator (where is the "grid" of the loudspeaker), is also different from the Japanese version. Compared with the Japanese "brothers» HTC DLX with new images look less elegant. Such brutality, probably like a rich American Youth, which is the target audience of the product.HTC DLX InfoAs we will soon see DLX for Verizon? Likely to officially announce it before the Christmas season, sales will start at about the same time - in the weeks most Americans makes bulk purchases not related to daily activities. Will there be such a device in Europe and Russia this year? Most likely, the European version of the DLX we will not see until February 2013, before the announcement by HTC new line of smartphones.
