Over 1 billion SMS expected for New Year

As every year, the transition to the new year marks an important moment for the mobile operators will have to send nearly one billion SMS in record time.
The countdown has begun among mobile operators have introduced special cells to handle peak traffic waited all night at the transition to the new year. Last year, more than one billion SMS were sent to all operators in France, and this record should be beaten again tonight, on the order of 20%.

Indeed, despite the competition of services and applications such as Facebook, Twitter, BBM, WhatsApp, Viber or Twitter, SMS still have the side with the French who send nearly $ 15 billion each month. Moreover, 60% of French have good texting for the new year!

To overcome any bugs that may arise against this flood of SMS, operators have expected, according to France 2, delaying delivery times SMS to avoid network saturation. Thus, the SMS could be sent in 10 minutes instead of a few seconds usually.

A wise choice, especially since this year it will also depend on a newcomer: Free Mobile, which will prove its worth. In case of malfunction, the debates may be heated!

BlackBerry 10: The family photo of smartphones Z10, X10 and N10

 
















  A stolen picture alongside shows what should be the top three smartphones running RIM BlackBerry 10, namely Z10, X10 and N10.
If you are interested in a little BlackBerry news, you probably already know that it will have to wait until January 30th for the manufacturer unveiled with great fanfare the operating system BlackBerry 10 (BB10) and smartphones will be available for launch.

However, rumors being what they are nowadays, many photos and even videos of the Z10 have already filtered. For the record, it is a full touch smartphone in BB10. In contrast, other mobile OS that will run on managed to do a little more discreet. Until now at least. Unveiled by Mobile Syrup, the picture you will find at the end of the article shows indeed X10 and N10, two smartphones featuring both a touchscreen and a physical keyboard.

We note at the outset that the control pad usually placed under the screens of previous BlackBerry keyboard has simply disappeared. Very good news because it allows engineers Canadian manufacturer to have more room for the screen. For the rest, if the N10 (the model right) wears a pretty obvious family resemblance with the Bold 9900, the X10 (left) differs from that usually RIM offers.

ZTE Nubia Z5: Android Empowered with a 5-inch screen Full HD is formalized

ZTE seems finally decided to go poaching on the lands of Samsung, HTC, LG or Sony regarding the high-end smartphones. It is demonstrated by the Nubia Z5 that the manufacturer has to formalize. The Android in question is a mobile data sheet enticing, shipping quad-core chipset including and especially a 5-inch screen Full HD. Presentations.
ZTE has finally formalize its next smartphone launch before the start of CES, which will open in about ten days. This is the ZTE Nubia Z5. And the least we can say is that the Chinese manufacturer has worked hard to provide an Android technical tempting to Judge for yourself:

• An IPS LCD 5 inches with a resolution of Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels)
• A quad-core chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5GHz
• 2 GB of RAM
• A 13 megapixel photo sensor photo sensor + a 2 megapixel facial
• The 3G + connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC
• 32 GB of internal memory
• A battery of 2300 mAh
• Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
• a weight of 126 g and a thickness of 7.6 mm

The technical characteristics therefore certainly stunning. What is striking with this Nubia Z5 is that clearly marks the arrival of ZTE on the high-end segment. So far, the Chinese manufacturer had merely smartphones midrange at best, offered at very low prices. As Huawei, ZTE seems finally ready to come against the best. Especially as the manufacturer seems determined to remain very competitive in terms of price since it was announced Z5 to 555 dollars, or about 420 euros. Count on us to provide you with a full ownership of the unit when we will cross in the aisles of CES in a few days.

Samsung GT-i9500 Galaxy S4 or high-end smartphone Tizen?

Site generally knowledgeable about Samsung says that the next high-end smartphone from the Korean manufacturer will the codename GT-i9500. However, not whether it will involve an Android device, the Galaxy potentially S4, or the first smartphone Tizen OS.

In just two years, the site SamMobile has built a solid reputation for rumors and leaks about Samsung. Also, when the site publishes information about the code name for the next top model of the Korean manufacturer, we consider with some interest.
Especially since this is not the first time that the code name in question, GT-i9500, is talked about. We already know that this is the same name as the manufacturer uses for its prototype smartphone OS Tizen for developers. This could mean that with this mobile operating system will finally emerge from Samsung. But this is not guaranteed since the prototype in question is not a model officially announced. In all cases, the manufacturer would have begun to test two variants of this model: GT-I9505 GT-i9500 and. Always according to the same source, the only difference between the two would be adding capacity 4G/LTE on the second model city.
If the codename GT-i9500 seems "trainer" for too long in the landscape rumors for not having any basis, we do not think it will be carried by the first smartphone Tizen OS. This type of name was in fact far been reserved for high-end Android smartphones Korean. The first of this line was in fact the Galaxy S GT-I9000. Then followed the GT-I9100 (Galaxy S2) GT-I9250 (Galaxy Nexus) and GT-I9300 (Galaxy S3). The Ativ S, which is, however, a Windows Phone with premium features, was flanked by the code name "I8750". One might say that it is not very logical that Samsung jumps box "GT-I9400". Except SamMobile rightly pointed out that none of the top models of the manufacturer has never displayed the number four in its serial number. The reason? This figure is considered to bring bad luck in South Korea ...

iPhone 5: Apple has the luxury to validate 4G/LTE networks operators!

A spokesman for the Swiss operator Swisscom reveals Apple tests 4G/LTE networks of partners before authorizing or not the activation of 4G connectivity on the iPhone 5.Since the dawn of time (and even before), the operators modus operandi is immutable reference when it comes to mobile in their catalog. In summary, they test and re-test devices, in particular to be very sure of their compatibility with cellular networks. Clearly, operators almost of life or death over the career of a mobile, especially in markets such as France, which are heavily subsidized.
Clearly, if a mobile phone is not listed in the offer of an operator, and therefore available in a pack at the subsidized operator said its sales did not take off in France. This relentless mechanical still suffers from a grain of sand. A huge grain of sand is the same as the iPhone. From the first day, Apple dictates its law to its partners and to comply with their little way to go. Few operators in the world to refuse to allow the conditions of Apple. But most will bend bad graces as it is important for them to have the iPhone in their catalog.

But the news of the day revealed by TechCrunch shows that the requirements of Cupertino seem to go further than we thought. According to the site, Apple is going to test 4G networks of its carrier partners. Yes, you read correctly, it is the manufacturer that evaluates LTE networks are good enough to hold its iPhone 5. It is not there a rumor, but an information initially provided by a spokesman for the Swiss operator Swisscom. He confirmed that Apple activated features a 4G iPhone 5 that he was satisfied with the tests conducted. Despite the fact that it has a brand new 4G/LTE network, Swisscom is suddenly unable to sell the smartphone as a device compatible with this technology upon its release since Apple had not finished testing mentioned above. Obviously, Apple does so to ensure that your smartphone and therefore consumers the best possible experience. But in doing so, he gets back to the operators. The Cupertino company is in a strong position now and can afford many things. But we expect that if the wind changes, operators will not do him any gift.

Tutorial: Désimlockez the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 very simple way, in a few seconds!

We offer a simple manipulation that allows unlock the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 in a few clicks without rooter or the flash. However, depending on the model, the result is not guaranteed.
If you are interested in a little different methods desimlockage smartphone, you probably already know that the Android mobile are generally more easily unlockable as iPhone. This does not necessarily mean that the procedure for doing so is easier on Android, but there are more ways to get there.

In fact, it is still very rare to have to wait months and months for a team of hackers manage to find a flaw on an Android smartphone. Unlike the iPhone which is the case for each new model.

Independent developers raging on XDA-forums Developpers just put online a simple method for quasi-unique unlock a Samsung Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2. However, it is clear that the manipulation in question may not work on all smartphones, according to regions of the world. Here is how to proceed issued by GSM Arena

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and Galaxy S3: packs color covers for your smartphone

When someone has a good idea, it is not uncommon that Samsung offers his personal tribute to the great inventor. Smartphones Windows Phone 8 visually stand out from the competition by offering flashy colors, recognizable among a thousand, contrasting sharply with the white and black models Android and iOS. Samsung is one of the few manufacturers to offer a lot of color for his models, and yet he had to put an extra layer or an overlay, you might say.

Thus, the Korean will propose several packs covers largely inspired by the colors of Windows Phone for its Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Tab 2. Shimmering tones, this is the least that can be said to color your smartphone as you see fit. Hard to choose? Samsung offer 4 colors in pack for 99 euros or 49 euros for two colors. One cover will revert to 39 euros, so it is strongly advised to choose at least two. A soon find in the Samsung Store that just opened its doors in Paris? We will have a look to see ...

Nokia Lumia 920: 2.5 million units sold in a few weeks

Yahoo China is unveiling information: Nokia has sold roughly 2.5 million Lumia 920 since the day of its release, that is to say the end of October. This is very good for a smartphone clearly in the category of outsiders, not in itself, but to the extent that it must convince the public that the alternative Windows Phone 8 is valid.

Out of stock since its launch in several European countries, the smartphone has finally sold quite well and in any case managed to create an embryo user base. This is precisely what is needed for developers to consider a system and develop interesting applications above. This will be difficult, but we would now know the overall sales figures of Windows Phone 8 devices on the first month of sales, to see how the sauce has become so high as in the mid-range.

Samsung Galaxy S4: the first rumors suggest a Full HD screen and a quad-core A15

An initial burst of leakage on the Samsung Galaxy S4 says that the smartphone will offer a screen of 4.99 inches Full HD resolution and quad-core Exynos chipset clocked at 2 GHz, A15 architecture. Obviously, everything is handled with tweezers.
The rumors have become part of the life cycle of an upscale smartphone. This is even more true for the two ranges stars of the market of mobile phones such as the iPhone and Galaxy S. You will therefore not be surprised to learn that even though the Galaxy S3 party just six months of operation, noise corridors for its successor, the Galaxy S4 are already out.

First "information" has surfaced yesterday about a possible announcement of the device in the next CES in Las Vegas opened its doors in January 2013. She seemed so ridiculous and implausible that we chose not to relay. However, the rumor of the day we just Asiae. The site claims to hold a source close to the characteristics of the next Samsung flagship of the fleet of the Korean manufacturer Android.

Characteristics in question show a screen of 4.99 inches Super AMOLED with a resolution of Full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels). The chipset is for its part a quad-core Exynos 2GHz and taking advantage of the new architecture A15. The photo sensor is not mentioned, but it seems likely that we do more than 8 megapixels. It is difficult to keep Samsung three years on the same specification for its Galaxy S range Obviously we will not know for many months if the first flight is based. However, it is good to keep in mind that the characteristics of the iPhone 5, iPad Mini or Samsung Galaxy S3 have all been fanned by such sites Asian long before their officialisations ...

Huawei Ascend W3 (W2?): Photos from a new leak in Windows Phone 8

After W1, it is the turn of a new smartphone running Windows Phone 8 of Huawei to be stale before the announcement. The model in question is the W3 or W2 for some media. It appears to be as a top model.
Huawei has not announced any smartphone running Windows Phone 8. But, as usual, rumors are loaded in its place. First there was the Ascend W1, mobile medium characteristics, which came under the spotlight before any formalization.

But the Chinese manufacturer should not be satisfied merely with this model. To gain recognition by the general public on the scene Android, Huawei has presented high-end smartphones. It seems that his strategy will not change one iota on Windows Phone. This is at least what we can hope to discover the Ascend W3 whose first pictures were first leaked on a Chinese website wimp.ch before being reported by Unwired.

first pictures of the Huawei Ascend W2 W3

Many sites call this smartphone 'Ascend W2. "However, looking good on one of the images we see in the technical specifications sticker dynamic calendar. They seem perfectly match the smartphone photographed here. And the name specified is "Ascend W3". We have enlarged and improved the part of the image in question below.

first pictures of the Huawei Ascend W2 W3



For the rest, the characteristics of the display device that seems to evoke an upscale, with dimensions of 132 x 67 x 10 mm, 4.5-inch screen (one imagines HD) and capacity LTE/4G . Nothing on the price or availability date has not yet filtered. But the Chinese manufacturer should certainly make the device is at CES in Las Vegas in January, next fool at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February.

HTC Deluxe: a first press photo for the international version of HTC DNA and Full HD screen

After Japan and the United States, the HTC Butterly J / DNA should be familiar with the joys of an international version, under the name of HTC Deluxe. First press photo of the smartphone features a 5-inch screen Full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels) comes into effect to surface.Since the first rumors of an HTC DNA, we have been constantly asking us when the international version will be announced. Small reminder of the facts: a few weeks ago, the Taiwanese manufacturer announced the Butterfly J, promising a smartphone, but reserved only for the Japanese market.

The point was salivating all technology in its data sheet is its 5-inch screen Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), a first for a smartphone. We hoped that the device does not confine itself to the Japanese market. Soon, rumors of an HTC DNA began to circulate. And, as often these days, they typed right on. This is the beginning of the week that the Taiwanese lifted the veil on the American version of his machine.
However, it still has not said a possible international version that may find its way to the old Europe. However, a leak is to reassure us about it. If you believe a photo posted by @ evleaks, a Twitter account that showed several devices before their outings recently, the international version of the DNA / J will be called HTC Butterfly Deluxe. The image that you will find below is the first photo release (supposed) of this smartphone. However, no sale date has so far been revealed.
For the rest, the characteristics should be identical to those of the other two models. Prominent among them, we can obviously include the 5-inch screen with a resolution of Full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels), but the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.5 Ghz and 2 GB of memory (RAM). The only (gro) question mark of this sheet is to get shiny side of the battery of 2020 mAh. It seems clearly undersized for such a configuration, especially with a quadruple screen resolution HD screens today. Given that smartphones and DNA Butterfly J have the same battery, there is little chance of seeing the manufacturer revise its plans before the announcement of the Deluxe. Obviously, this apprehension is purely supputative and ask to be confirmed during the test.

ZTE Nubia Z5: the first images mop

He will not have to wait long to see the first images of the high-end smartphone from ZTE. The Chinese company has decided to go upmarket and smartphones has created its brand Nubia, intended to give a new image, more qualitative. As China is also a country of rumors and leaks, it is not surprising that there is also confronted ZTE.

Nubia Z5 would be the first smartphone from the new policy. It would be a quad-core processor and a 5-inch screen of 1920x1080 pixels. The sound sensor camera would be 13 mpx, and it could be molded into a material near the equipment produced by HTC. And here are two pictures of the machine, complete history of beauty in the first murmurs fell into the wrong ears

Android: Following Lookout Mobile Security has finally arrived in France, with antivirus and original functions

Mobile security leader with 25 million users, has finally arrived on the Lookout Google Play French with an Android version of its suite Lookout Mobile Security. It offers not only an antivirus for viruses and malware, but also some quite original functions for this type of solutions.Although some actors Mobile Security is waving a little too much for our taste waving frantically in the spectrum of viruses and other malware, it remains true that our motives in general and our smartphones in particular are exposed to real threats. Lookout, one of the pioneers of the security for mobile phones, today leader in this sector, has finally decided to invest in the French market.
He actually used the new version of its application for Android Lookout Mobile Security to get home. Given the theme of the subject, you will not be surprised to learn that Lookout protects mobile phones of all types of threats detected, whether or malware software cookies (spyware). But what we were interested in discovering this application suite, is that beyond these basic functions for antivirus, Lookout also offers safeguard personal data and is able geolocate a lost or stolen phone. We will come back a little later. Note that if the company is not very well known in our latitudes, it has nevertheless already 25 million users worldwide.
The new version of the suite Lookout Mobile Security, the first officially available in France, therefore, includes the following enhancements:
• A redesigned interfaceDevelopers have relied on the new design rules set by Google for its Android OS. The result offers a user experience that once homogeneous fluid. The interface appears quite intuitive, allowing easy access to all the features of Lookout, stay informed and take the necessary steps as soon as danger signals. Little bulky and optimized for mobile phones, the application has only a little about the overall performance of the smartphone and thus the autonomy of mobile. We installed a few days ago, and have since watched its operation. It consumes some processor resource when it is activated to perform an operation. But it is almost always 'listening' mode. It occupies about 16 MB of RAM, but no processor resources while continuing to ensure the security of the smartphone.
• Notifications clear and understandableThat users remain lit at all times informed of what is happening in their smartphone, Lookout Mobile Security now has the Activity Feed functionality, which lists in a dashboard interventions carried out by Lookout. The information received is presented by category for readability and to allow prompt access threats, history of downloaded applications, data backups performed and security alerts received.

HTC Droid DNA: the imminent launch of Android with a 1080p display in the United States and France ...?

HTC has just sent out invitations for a conference in the United States. It is almost certain that the manufacturer will use this event to unveil the Droid DNA, the American version of J Butterfly, the first smartphone with a full HD 1080p display.A few weeks ago, HTC lifted the veil on the J Butterfly, a smartphone for the Japanese market, but that quickly ignited specialized media of the entire world. The reason for this strong interest in the device is essentially a feature: a 5-inch screen Full HD 1080p.

If some Chinese manufacturers have quickly responded by announcing equivalent models, HTC nonetheless the only major international manufacturer to have lifted the veil on such a model. While its competitors should obviously not only let him occupy the land for long.
Since the announcement of Japanese technophiles all waiting to see if the benefit quickly Butterfly J an international version. And it will not delay if you believe an invitation from HTC for November 13 in New York. In partnership with the U.S. operator Verizon, the manufacturer will certainly present the Droid DNA. This smartphone has indeed been the subject of numerous leaks over the past few days.
They reported that this device would be the American version of the Japanese Butterfly J. We propose course the already famous screen pouces1080p 5, flanked by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset quadruple heart S4 Pro, 2 GB of memory (RAM), 16 GB of internal memory (+ microSD), a battery 2100 mAh capacity 4G Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It only remains to hope that once the U.S. launch finished Taiwanese deigns his attention to Europe. Even though we strongly doubt the actual usefulness of a 1080p screen on a smartphone (see the last paragraph of this article), we are still very curious to see the rendering of such a slab.

Sony Xperia V : le smartphone Android waterproof sera en retard

You expect the machine to fit you Sony serenely for the rainy season? It will rather invest in an umbrella, the smartphone is now officially late ...


Alongside the Xperia T, which we will propose a test shortly, Sony introduced the Xperia V, a high-end smartphone that has the distinction of being waterproof. Waterproof saying, we move maybe a little too much, even if its IP57 resistance should allow it to withstand total immersion. Still, that splash or rain should not make it too scary. The 4.3-inch smartphone powered by a dual-core Snapdragon processor would also have battery out for fall. We learn today that its commercialization in Europe and particularly in France, has been postponed to January 2013.

Unlike his brother in arms, the Xperia T, V should come directly under Android Jelly Bean 4.1.1. Of course, this will always be a version behind, puisqu'Android 4.2 is already in the wild since the conference Google, but we prefer it to not update at all. The machine tells us PhoneArena, is expected to cost € 529 instead of bare € 549 previously announced by Sony. We will try to test it as soon as units will be available at the French branch of the Japanese giant.

Google Nexus 4: The battery is replaceable finally

If at first, the Google Nexus 4 does not offer a battery pull this defect is actually less pronounced than it seems. Just actually remove the back cover to access the battery finally withdrew quite easily.


While tons of images of Google Nexus 4 have already been circulated and we ourselves made ​​a grip of the camera, the ones you find at the end of section are somewhat unique.

They show the rear of the Smartphone, once the hull is removed. If this is the first time that such images are surfacing, it is simply because the Nexus 4 is not intended to be opened by a user. Therefore apart. @ nerdtalker, a journalist site Anandtech has taken on this task.

He was able to discover that the battery of 2100 mAh that was secured by two small screws. It is easily replaceable. Clearly, anyone with a little smarts, and provided the right screwdriver, can be achieved without too much difficulty.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2: already 3 million units sold in a month

Margins of impressive sales figures of Galaxy S3, Samsung also communicates those of its GalaxyNote 2. Although they are less eloquent for the smartphone-tablet, it nonetheless excellent given the profile of the apparatus with three million products sold in a month.


The first Samsung Galaxy Note has picked the market by surprise. Few observers expect indeed that this device has created its own segment phablets such a success. Obviously, with this beautiful brand new pedigree, his successor Galaxy Note 2 is expected to turn.

And it does not disappoint. The Korean manufacturer has just revealed that his latest has surpassed three million units sold in just over a month. Thirty-seven days to be precise. Even if this number is less eloquent than thirty million Galaxy S3 sold in 157 days, there is still impressive since the Galaxy Note 2 is not aimed at all users by space therefore. For the record, the first note had found "only" two million takers four months after its release.

this was already an excellent score for a device that nobody expected. the fact of seeing his successor do much better proves that this was not a flash in the pan. The public appetite for phablets is not only real, but seems set to continue.

Apple iPad and iPad Mini: 3 days, 3 million units

Sales figures of Apple products have now become a custom and the Monday after the release of the new toys, the press and investors await the results of firm footing ... how to score when the new tablets?


The news has just fallen: it is indeed 3 million iPad iPad Mini and 4, which were sold during the first weekend of marketing. In March, the iPad 3 has sold 1.5 million copies in the same period. So we can say that Apple remains constant over sales of its mobile product: this time, twice models were proposed and the figure has doubled. Note that the 3G versions are not yet available have not been taken into account in computing, even if they have been pre-ordered.

Mini iPad side, it shows that despite the price, the public's enthusiasm was at the rendezvous. We do not have the exact breakdown of sales for both tablets, but whatever the figure, we can imagine that the iPad 4, which is only light refreshment of the iPad 3, was the only to seduce. It seems even more logical than the Mini iPad sales account for more than half of the three million units, although this remains speculative. For comparison, Asus announced last month selling almost a million Nexus 7 ... month.

The side of France, know that supermarkets and specialty stores continue to sell the iPad 3 as "new iPad", sometimes at great cost. We can only advise you to do your homework on the model before cracking. The iPad 3, destocking, should be able to find low price if the quad-core iPad 4 of you seems superfluous.

Samsung Galaxy S3: 30 million units sold, the annual target reached in 157 days!

Samsung has announced that it has reached the milestone of 30 million Galaxy S3 passed. A great success when we know that this was the objective of a year ... which was reached in only 157 days!


Remember when Samsung unveiled its Galaxy S3 last hand, the Korean manufacturer has said he hopes to sell 30 million units of the smartphone in a year. Figures that seemed so perfectly feasible, but very ambitious.

So what now Samsung has announced that it has already passed this course, a little less than six months after the release of the Galaxy S3 effective? The pace of sales is impressive since the smartphone has reached the milestone of 10 million units in 50 days and the 20 million in 100 days. He therefore took exactly 157 days since the launch to surpass the 30 million. And reach more than 200 days before the original target.

Samsung is clearly the only manufacturer able to compete a little today with the Apple iPhone. For the record, the builder apple sold a little less than 27 million of its smartphones in the last quarter of fiscal.
