The speaker grill is positioned at the bottom of the device and in mini Note 3 most scenarios, it’s pretty underwhelming. When the HTC One debuted in February with dual front-facing speakers, it set a new standard for audio playback. In comparison, the N1 is cheap and shallow, regularly distorting sounds at higher volumes. If you like to play music or stream movies aloud, this will likely disappoint.

The material is 100% non-toxic soft silicone, harmless to humans and does not get scratched by anything in your bags or pockets. In addition, Paper skin is a skin cover that is exclusively designed for protecting the back of iPhone5. This slim and light piece of back cover skin is made of Tyvek paper, which is durable, water and stain resistant and recyclable. It protects the iPhone from scratches. Using removable sticky pad, this reusable paper skin is very easy to apply to iPhone5 itself or plastic case and also removal is clean.

The phones provide tech luster to a property designed to court buzz from its rooftop bar (scheduled to open this winter) to its Kingside restaurant run by the chef Marc Murphy in partnership with the bar-specialist Gerber Group. But it won’t replace the standard in-room land line, retained, according to a representative, to reassure technophobes.

The smart lock requires no custom wiring. Once installed, it connects to the smartphone application using Bluetooth Smart or Z-Wave. The smartphone application allows the user to lock or unlock the door with the press of a virtual button. The app also allows the user to send virtual keys to other people who are running the Star S4 smartphone app.

With those virtual keys, you can let friends or family into your home without giving them a physical key. One of the coolest features of the lock is that it can be set to sense when the homeowner approaches and automatically unlock the door. It can also be set to lock the door again once the person is inside their home automatically. There are two versions of the lock with one supporting Bluetooth Smart and the Z-Wave version designed to integrate into existing smartphone systems. The lock comes in square or round versions and is available now for $99. There are no monthly fees to use the lock.

Smartphone maker HTC today said that it expects to launch 4G phones in mid to high price range in 2014. "In line with India's development of 4G networks, there will be obviously more 4G devices available in the India market. I am hoping to be able to bring in many price points, not only the top but also medium price point," HTC Senior Marketing Director for South Asia Sirpa H Ikola told PTI. She was speaking on sidelines of HTC launching three mid range dual-sim Android s ..

Why would three premiers take a smartphone picture  of themselves together Who is there to see such a picture How many million images already exist of them Did they plan to post the picture on their Facebook pages Or perhaps show their friends at work Or text it to their mates: ‘Look who I’m with’

On Ainol NOVO7 Venus phones, it’s a much better story. The sound profile is dynamic and noticeably richer, serving up deep, booming bass lines and pronounced high notes. With a decent set of buds or over-ear headphones, I expect most audiophiles will be content.
