Un paso mas allá en los teléfonos ultra resistentes: Sony Ericsson Xperia Active



Los teléfonos ultra resistentes no son una novedad, pero si es verdad que el Motorola Defy fue el primero que se atrevió a adoptar eso a los smartphones. Un móvil táctil, con conexión a internet y un sistema operativo avanzado y que no fuera un trasto, que aguantase golpes, agua y polvo? Si, se consiguió, y no se si por esa razón o porque realmente tiene un hardware interno, o mezcla de ambas, fue un éxito de ventas como lo será el Defy+.
En ese filón es donde quiere meterse Sony Ericsson, en breve sólo Sony, y presenta su Xperia Active, que en términos de resistencia va incluso un paso más allá y lo vemos en un vídeo de esos que te dan grima por la cantidad de vejaciones que sufre el teléfono.
El Xperia Active tiene como nombre de modelo ST17 y ha tenido que ser un usuario particular, que no al propia marca, aunque pude que algo de vídeo viral haya detrás, la que nos demuestre que la resistencia anunciada, no es buena, es que simplemente roza lo indestructible, pero antes vamos a repasar las características técnicas de este teléfono.
  • Pantalla Bravia Reality Display de 3 pulgadas capacitiva 320 x 480 px (permite su uso con los dedos mojados)
  • Procesador de un núcleo a 1 Ghz y 512 MB de RAM
  • Android Gingerbread 2.3
  • 16,5mm de espesor y 111 gramos de peso
  • 1 GB de memoria interna con posibilidad de insertar tarjeta micro SD
  • Wifi, GPS, DLNA, HDSPA, ANT+, barómetro, brújula, sensores de luz y movimiento
  • Cámara de 5 megapíxeles con flash y grabación de vídeo a 720p
  • Batería de 1200 mah (para una pantalla de 3 pulgadas no es tan poca como parece)
  • Actualizable a Ice Cream Sandwich en Abril- Marzo de 2012 / Carcasas intercambiables
  • Lo tiene prácticamente todo para abrirse paso en el mercado con facilidad y conquistar los bolsillos y bolsos de muchos usuarios que quieren un móvil no muy grande, ligero, compacto, y sobre todo resistente. El precio del Xperia Active libre es de 299 € aunque ya sabemos que en algunas tiendas especializadas lo podremos encontrar por algo menos, la pena es que de momento ninguna compañía telefónica lo haya adoptado y aunque aquí somos partidarios del teléfono libre, el poder elegir, también nos gusta.
    Y ahora os dejo con el vídeo promocional y alguno de los vídeos que os mencionaba donde amartillean, golpean con piedras, intentan cortar con una navaja/cúter, traspasar con destornilladores, llaves de fontanero, pasar con un coche por encima, tirarlo al agua y en definitiva maltratarlo, saliendo indemne de todas las pruebas. No hacía falta tanto, pero nos queda clara la resistencia, aunque hay una que nunca se menciona y nos preocupa siempre, la que es a largo plazo, la obsolescencia programada, pero ese, es otro tema ;)

  • Motorola renueva la familia Droid RAZR con tres nuevos terminales


    Al margen del revuelo causado ayer por los renovados Kindle Fire de AmazonMotorola también celebró su propio evento en Nueva York en el que presentó tres nuevos terminales que os detallamos a continuación. Hablamos del Droid RAZR HD, el Droid RAZR MAXX HD y el Droid RAZR M.

    Droid RAZR HD













    • Snapdragon S4 a 1.5 GHz
    • 1 GB de RAM
    • Pantalla de 4.7″ y resolución HD 720p
    • Cámara de 8 MPx
    • Batería de 2500 mAh (16 horas en modo conversación)
    • Dimensiones: 131.9 x 67.9 x 8.4 mm
    • Conectividad NFC
    • Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (actualizable a Android 4.1 Jelly Bean)
    • Droid RAZR MAXX HD


  • Snapdragon S4 1.5 GHz
  • 1 GB de RAM
  • Pantalla de 4.7″ y resolución HD 720p
  • Cámara de 8 MPx
  • Batería de 3300 mAh (21 horas en conversación, 10 horas de vídeo y 27 horas escuchando música a través de 4G)
  • 32 GB de almacenamiento
  • Conectividad NFC y 4G/LTE
  • Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (actualizable a Android 4.1 Jelly Bean)

  • Droid RAZR M

    • Procesador Snapdragon S4 a 1.5 GHz
    • 1 GB de RAM
    • Pantalla Super AMOLED de 4.3″ y resolución de 960 x 540 píxeles
    • Batería de 2000 mAh
    • 8 GB de almacenamiento (ampliable mediante microSD)
    Como vemos, aunque todos ellos comparten el mismo músculo, se trata de tres terminales enfocados a tres tipos de usuarios distintos pero con un denominador común: la duración de batería. Aunque llama la atención que, pese a la reciente adquisición de Motorola por parte de Google, no vengan con Jelly Bean preinstalado, al menos sus potenciales compradores tendrán la tranquilidad de saber que se actualizarán a la versión 4.1 de Android, esperemos que lo antes posible.
    Además del estandarte de una batería de gran capacidad junto con una pantalla de grandes dimensiones, algo que llama la atención en estos tres terminales es su diseño, concebido con un borde lateral casi inexistente y que permite disponer de una gran pantalla sin aumentar considerablemente el tamaño del terminal.
    Sin duda, el caballo ganador en cuanto a especificaciones sería el Droid RAZR MAXX HD, y aunque el Droid RAZR HD le va a la zaga y tendrá seguramente un precio más ajustado, no hay que perder de vista al Droid RAZR M, especialmente para aquellos usuarios que prefieren un smartphone con una pantalla algo más pequeña.

    Asus Transformer Prime

          The Asus Transformer Prime sports an iPad 2-inspired design that's even thinner and nearly as light, while also managing to include microSD and Micro-HDMI support. The Prime delivers smooth and clear 1080p video, and the 8-megapixel camera captures detail and color more accurately than any other tablet camera we've reviewed. Ice Cream Sandwich makes small but significant improvements to Honeycomb.

    The bad: Not every game takes advantage of the quad-core CPU, and frame rates can suffer as a result. When connected to the dock keyboard, the tablet is top-heavy and can easily slide off a lap or table if you're not careful.

    The bottom line: The Asus Transformer Prime is the best full-featured Android tablet yet, with a sexy design, thoughtful features, and an impressive camera.
    The Asus Transformer Pad TF300 was released in April 2012. Check this blog post for details on the key differences from the Prime.

    Also, we changed the Prime's review text to reflect the Ice Cream Sandwich update the tablet received in January 2012. Check out this exhaustive interview with Asus detailing -- and putting into perspective -- some of the Prime's technical issues.

    Since the launch of the iPad 2, we've been kind of waiting for the Asus Transformer Prime. While we didn't know it existed until a few months ago, the thought of a powerful, robust, and sexy Android tablet has been invading our tablet dreams for months.

    Is the Transformer Prime that tablet? With its quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, it definitely has the potential.Design
    The Prime comes in two colors, amethyst gray (gray and purple) and champagne gold (silver and gold). We got the amethyst gray version for review, and while a purple tablet admittedly wasn't the highest item on our holiday wish list, the gray and purple are blended in a sleek, sexy, and appealing way. Although the aluminum back does a good job of resisting fingerprints, the glossy screen and bezel succumb to them easily.

    Motorola PHOTON Q 4G LTE – Slide QWERTY Ice Cream Sandwich
    Motorola PHOTON Q 4G LTE rumored to be a new android smartphone from Motorola which brought the concept of a slide QWERTY keyboard. This is certainly surprising, since previously had appeared a leaked photo of Samsung SGH-T699, which also has the same concept.

However, if viewed from leaked photograph that currently available, most likely Motorola PHOTON Q 4G LTE will run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

    Unfortunately, for the time of release, the price and availability of Motorola PHOTON Q 4G LTE is not known. Let’s wait what it will be Motorola PHOTON Q 4G LTE which also likely to compete with Samsung SGH-T699.

    Skype


    Any free calling list is never complete without the ever-ubiquitous Skype. It actually has verb status, with Skyping becoming synonymous to calling over a computer.

    fring for free calls

    Fring

    Fring has a lot going for it, from calls to chat to video calling. This app lets you add other communication services from AOL to Google Talk as well as connecting with your phone book, letting you talk with anyone on just one app.

    Of course, the catch for free calls is that the other party needs to have Fring on their phone, which isn’t a problem since it is available not only for Android, but also on iOS, Nokia and via a mobile browser. Their newest feature is being able to video call with up to four people at a time over any data connection. It’s fun to try out but a bit choppy.

    You can also call to regular phones by buying some credits so you can talk to landlines and feature phones locally and abroad.
