HTC One [Verizon] Review

It has been reviewed once,again we have reviewed it again and it’s twice –and HTC One is finally available on Verizon. After waiting for months, the flagship of HTC for 2013 is available for purchase on their huge network and what a time to launch, so many people who had purchased Galaxy Nexus two years ago are due for an upgrade in the coming few months.

This is not the full review, we have did that twice already. These are just simply some thoughts that stood on Verizon.

Is it worth with for your upgrade?

The Good

Hardware 

The hardware and feel of it is the main part which has been set it in a different category from among variousflagships 2013. The feel of body which is aluminum, whenyou pick it up is just awesome. Tothe back of the device there is a slight curve, the edges of the phone are in an inwards angle so holding it feels solid. You can just get an idea how it feels to use it. It boastsa 4.7 inch 1080p display, a powerful Snapdragon 600 processor which is clocked at 1.7GHz, 2GB of RAM, Sense 5 user interface and Android 4.2.2, a unique 4MP Ultra Pixel camera, 2300mAh battery and weighs about 143 grams.

Battery Life

The battery will easily last for 12+ hours every day. At first I did monitor my use to try and reduce the power drain, but by the end of my test, I had worked hard to use it enough and tried drain the battery. It is a good news for anyone who worries about the phone’s battery.

Boom Sound

It is not a marketing trick, people. Its dual front speakers on this device is a natural wonder of the technology world that you have to experience it for yourself. Viewing any media on it is better than any Android devices present. The sound is not only loud, it is clear as well. They have used the Beats Audio speakers which makes the story here. The phone with half volume made it feel louder whenever I received a text message (well that is a good thing).

Camera

Most of the people have given creditsto Motorola to end the war by the launch of the Moto X this fall, but the HTC’s Ultra Pixelcamera deserves a nod too. It is not the best present out there, but it gets the job done with day to day situations and you will find it for yourself,could had a better dedicated camera. If you try to look close enough, you can find that sometimes it brings in too much light or noise. The camera is not that bad.

Blink Feed

It is the best part of Sense which I actually enjoyed using. Once you add social networks to it, the page can be pretty useful to get updates that you can see through. If HTC makesBlink Feed your permanent home screen I would be pretty upset, but the fact is that you can switch it to a secondary home page which is less annoying.

The Not So Good

Power Button

Everything is pretty much good about this phone, but the power button that has been chosen by HTC drives me crazy. At first when I had the phone, I could not figure how to turn the screen off. The small black button at the top left is so barely visible. Having the power button just a bit more visible would have been great idea.
Capacitive Button Layout

I already knew about the HTC’s weird design having a back button and a home button. I never thought that it would cause much pain. Don’t take it for granted the 3-button layout that theAndroid has grown into the past few years unless someone takes it. By double tapping the screen never took me to home screen but it always showed the recent apps screen. I even also tried switching the layouts, but whenever I pulled the notification drawer present at the bottom of the screen, I would activate Google Now which has the same gesture.

Connection Issues

From the G-Nex which takes about half a day to turn off the 4G and 3G radios, the One was likea dream. For some reason when I switched from 4G to Wi-Fi and vice versa, I would be left with no data for a solid of 5 to 10 minutes. It is not the biggest problem in the world, but it is still noticeable.

Verdict

If you are up to upgrade from the aging Galaxy Nexus or other older device, the HTC One is an awesome choice. The sales numbers of HTC might not reflect it, but they have put out one of the best smartphones of 2013. The HTC One’s camera is one of the few weak points.

Soon Can Taste The Dishes You See On TV! Thanks To This Amazing Technology!!

What if you could enjoy live food that chefs cook at the cooking shows on TV? It is precisely the purpose of a team of researchers based in Singapore who invented electrodes capable of recreating not less than four tastes on your tongue!

More interesting isn’t it? The Scientist based in Singapore namely Nimesha Ranasinghe and his team have developed a new kind of electrodes which can recreate the taste of virtual foods on the taste buds of the tongue. These electrodes are able to recreate the four main flavors taste (salty, sweet, acidity and bitterness) stimulating the taste buds when placed on the tongue.

The electrodes made with silver residues send signals reproducing these 4 different flavors on the tip of the tongue. The buds are then deceived by alternating currents and temperature changes controlled by semiconductor elements which can produce heat and cold very quickly. Ranasinghe told that they found that non-invasive electrical and thermal stimulation on the tip of the tongue can successfully generated the primary taste sensations.

The device is quite impressive but scientists are working for minimizing its bigger size to fit into the closed mouth. For the team, this tool could be used in particular in the field of virtual reality and video games, where players could thus "taste" the fictional food of their games. Nimesha Renasinghe also thinks it could be introduced as a way to reward the player.

Of course, culinary television programs are not left out either! The researchers also explain that their tool could be used at the medical level, in particular to enable people with cancer to regain taste sensations. In any case, this is a really great invention.

Thus, we can taste the dishes prepared by cooking TV shows candidates and compare our views with those of the jury. And soon you, would you buy a television that allows you to taste the food that goes on the screen?

Upgrades:

Storage:

You can store a variety of games in computer whereas you’re not provided with such features in consoles however some of the console can store the amount like data stored in a DVD. In case of personal computer, the storage is practically unlimited. You can store as many as games until your storage space gets full. We can even install and store games in the external hard drive in case of personal computer games. People will go for personal computer instead of buying new hardware for the Gaming consoles.

Lack of the most popular games: 

Games such a Dota 2, Warcraft3, Civilization series, Starcraft 2 are the most popular games in the field of gaming and consoles lack such game which makes PC’s best compared to consoles. PC games are more in number while compared to the other console games; you can download thousands of games online from various websites for your personal computer.
