Alcatel: Getting started with the A5 LED, an original smartphone for 199 euros!

sivertime — Fri, 16 Jun 2017 16:31:09 +0000

More expensive than the A3 despite a more imposing design, the Alcatel A5 LED finally arrived at the editorial office. I took it in hand and here are my impressions!
Equipped with an interactive LED shell, the Alcatel A5 LED does not go unnoticed. Unveiled at MWC 2017, this mid-range smartphone is quite pleasant. It is true that its design is less attractive than that of the A3 which is nevertheless cheaper but, the A5 LED is endowed with an asset unlike the others: The new terminal of Alcatel put on its hull to display the Notifications . A unique proposal on the market that makes this A5 LED a very original smartphone . But at a time when the rounded edges have established themselves in the industry, the Alcatel A5 LED is rather hard on the sides, making it an unpleasant shook.
The first trick I really regret about the A5 LED is the position of these buttons which is far from practical. Placed very high, these buttons seem almost inaccessible with one hand (while I have a very big #JmexcusePourCelleLa). Fortunately, the smartphone shines in the dark thanks to its LED shell, which allows it to gain a little my esteem . Its HD screen of 5, 2 inches also seems as bright as the shell LED. But if it is sad enough to take charge, the A5 LED remains a good smartphone when not looking for a war machine and is worth the blow for its LEDs rather stylish. RDV next week to discover the full test of this smartphone that is available, here , less than 200 euros.

It would include a 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 835 processor, 4 GB RAM and 16 GB storage capacity (which could be expanded by product marketing).

The features of the OnePlus 5 have just leaked. In the Snapdragon 835 program, 8 GB of RAM and borderless design.
On March 24th, OnePlus declined its OnePlus 3T in a version “Midnight Black” . Initially marketed at Hypebeast, the smartphone with the black shell is available on the site of the manufacturer in limited edition. And it’s really stylish! But in the weeks to come, OnePlus should be (even more) noticed on the market … How? By unveiling a OnePlus 5 with chanmed features for a moderate price. Already congratulated for its OnePlus 3 and 3T, the Asian manufacturer would go even further for its new flagship. This is in any case what the rumors that have just been made about it suggest.
According to the latest rumors, which Phonandroid has relayed, the OnePlus 5 would ship a Snapdragon 835 processor. But stronger still, the Qualcomm SoC would be backed by 8 GB of RAM, which would be a record for smartphone . Impressive! Besides its power, the OnePlus 5 would stand out with a Quad HD screen, and a borderless design of the most beautiful effect. To gain even more ground on its competitors, OnePlus would have decided to zap Full HD, and optimize the ratio of screen size to its product. A very good idea ! Finally, it is by its price that the flagship should pull out of the game … It would be offered less than $ 500, a much lower amount than the Galaxy S8, the LG G6 and even the Huawei P10.

A day with the Huawei Watch 2, the connected watch that is independent of the smartphone

sivertime — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 19:31:53 +0000

The Huawei Watch 2 is finally available for purchase. We had the chance to test this connected watch, in preview and here are our impressions.
11h : OMG, I became a VIP at Huawei. After having had the opportunity to test the Huawei P10 , I will now tackle the Huawei Watch 2. Already, with my first watch signed Apple, I felt like James Bond. So, imagine my kif when unpacking this watch under Android Wear 2.0! On my wrist, the Huawei Watch 2 throws. But if you hope for a small discreet watch, it’s dead. The Chinese giant sees the big picture.
12h : Aesthetically, Huawei has radically changed its Watch 2, compared to the Watch Classic. If the first generation of the connected watch from Huawei stands out with its bracelets, the new generation is more sporty, more masculine. Featuring a lightweight rubber strap, the Huawei Watch 2 looks visibly easy to wear.
12h30 : Hardly twinned with the P10, the Huawei Watch 2 recovers most of the apps installed on the smartphone. This sync is done at high speed V, thanks to the new Android Wear 2.0 operating system. The new “dock” of the watch, which is accessible by pressing the side button, allows me to easily access the apps and it’s really cool.
13h : In addition to having changed design, the new connected watch from Huawei has been transformed inside: it is now waterproof . She can now accompany me in the shower or during my sessions at the pool since she is certified IP68. For the dolphins, we’ll see later … In short, I decide to go under water and fortunately for me, the watch always walks oklm.
14h : By becoming waterproof, the Huawei Watch 2 decided to show its muscles . The connected watch now uses multiple sensors with complex algorithms, offers fitness solutions and optimizes drives. These integrated sensors collect comprehensive data on user activity, distance, speed, number of steps, heart rate, heart rate, calorie count, pace, route, etc. Doing sports has never been so crazy for a geek.
14:30 : But what I really like about this watch is being able to detach myself from my Huawei P10, whenever I want. This new smartwatch embeds its own modem of the blow, it is autonomous . I can finally go out running without my smartphone, while being able to be reached by message or even by telephone. Since I had the slab, I decided to test the GPS built into this watch (a real novelty) . I literally could give up my P10 to the editor and geo-locate with my watch.
16h : The Huawei Watch 2 is a true formula 1 compared to its eldest. It’s a bit like “Flash” smartwatch version. Navigating between the apps is a real happiness especially when compared with the slow hell imposed by his big sister. And cherry on the cake, its autonomy meets all my expectations . The battery lasts two days in normal use, up to 10 hours in “training mode ” and up to three weeks in “watch mode”.
Appraisal :
The new Huawei Watch is still a beautiful kid but is making good progress on the sport . Even if we get wet, she can accompany us from morning to night. A bigger screen would have helped to establish itself as a gadget that would make us crack every time. But personally, I’m already seduced. If you want to get it, it’s by HERE that it happens.

Samsung has started the year in style by presenting very convincing Galaxy A3 and A5 (2017). And soon, it will continue its momentum by raising the veil on the Galaxy S8 that everyone expects.

Nokia 3310: Snake, Autonomy, camera, network … A phone that serves no purpose or almost!

sivertime — Mon, 27 Feb 2017 18:36:04 +0000

The new Nokia 3310 has been officialized by Nokia and HMD Global at MWC 2017. It was quickly taken over to play Snake, test the camera and its legendary autonomy. The details !
The Nokia 3310 version 2017 has nothing to do with its elder who was born almost seventeen years ago. This new phone is a real joke for the nostalgic . Featuring a 2.4-inch color LCD screen, the new Nokia 3310 is equipped with a 2-megapixel camera and a microSD memory card reader. And as hoped, autonomy is always its strong point . The Nokia 3310 can provide 25 days in standby and 22 hours in calls, just that. We had the opportunity to take it in hand, play a little Snake and test his camera, here are our impressions!
Getting Started
Small and compact, the new Nokia 3310 can be handled easily . Its new, finer keys are effective for quick manipulation. But overall, the Nokia 3310 smells good cheap plastic. The phone that was known for its robustness can break quickly.
Snake
Like the 3310, the famous game Snake has been modernized . Developed by Gameloft, this Snake in color offers us to play with a personified snake. After having “lost” hours making 90 ° turns, having fun with this colorful reptile is a true joke for purists. Like the other, it was better before!
Camera
Considering its new display, the Nokia 3310 has a 2 megapixel camera coupled with an LED flash . Well, this camera can not be compared to the most accessible sensors on the market but, it has deserved to exist. Besides, you’re not going to take selfies with this phone, do you?
Network
Compatible with 2G, the Nokia 3310 may soon be unusable . When operators resume these frequencies to develop the 3G / 4G / 5G, the newborn HMG Global and Nokia may end up in a trash. And that’s a shame! But otherwise, it will be necessary to wait until the second quarter 2017 to shopper the new 3310 to 49 euros !
