LG Prada

LG have the honour of having released the world’s first mobile phones with a capacitive touchscreen, paving the way for the iPhone and the host of other touchscreen smartphones we have seen since.

That device was the LG Prada; a handset that went on to sell over 1 million units in 18 months and win countless awards for innovation and design. Last month, LG announced that they are planning to release a successor to the original Prada phone, bringing a touch of haute-couture to the world of Android smartphones.

Known as the LG Prada K1, the device sports a minimal design with a sleek, black shell and Prada branding at the top; not dissimilar to previous LG Prada offerings. However, that’s where the similarity between this phone and previous Prada handsets end. Where their features struggled to live up to their luxurious appearance, the features of the Prada K1 are more than a match for its stylish, designer exterior.

LG Prada

Out of the box, the LG Prada K1 will run on the latest version of Android; codenamed Gingerbread. It will have an extremely impressive 8-megapixel camera, as well as a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera for video calling. With its 16GB of internal storage, users of the device will be able to download hundreds of apps from Android Marketplace, and viewing website and watching videos will be a pleasure on its almost tablet-esque 4.3-inch Nova LCD touchscreen display.

It is thought that the Prada K1 will be released in the 4th quarter of 2011 alongside LG’s first Windows Phone 7 Mango handset, the LG Fantasy. Having extremely similar technical specifications to the Prada K1, releasing the LG Fantasy at the same time will be a real test of the popularity of Android and Windows Phone 7. However, if the K1 is anything like LG’s previous Prada offerings, its success is assured.

Last year really was a landmark year for smartphones. These high end phones have been around for a few years now and we are finally starting to see the effects of technological research in areas such as multimedia as smart mobile phones become almost as powerful as small computers. The launch of ground breaking phones such as the HTC Desire and the iPhone 4 have set the bar for the releases in 2011 but there were other good phones as well.
Two other phones really got tongues wagging last year as well, with huge sales and impressive reviews from the critics as well. These phones were the Samsung Galaxy S and the Nokia N8, releases from two of the world’s top mobile phone companies that were looking to return to the top of the pile and made massive steps towards this with these two handsets. Which is better though? Let’s take a look…

Browser

A very important aspect of the smartphone world now and something that can make or break a phone ,which is why Nokia should be so disappointed with their work on this browser. Although this browser is far better than previous Symbian efforts and you should not have to download a new one, it is nowhere near as good as the excellent Android effort that has been created for the Galaxy S. It runs very fast and complements the large screen well.

Camera

This is another simple one to judge as the Nokia effort really wipes the floor with the camera on the Samsung Galaxy S. The phone on the Galaxy S is by no means poor, it has 5 mega pixels, an autofocus and a Xenon flash so if you just like to take the odd snap then it is perfectly fine. The camera on the N8 is more than perfectly fine though, with a 12 megapixel camera it can keep up – and beat some of – many of the cheap digital cameras on the market so it really is one of the best camera phones around.

DESIGN & BUILD

The i1 feels great in the hand, with a slight heft at 4.6 oz and rubberized grips at the top, bottom and edges. At 4.7-inches tall and 2.34-inches wide, it fits easily in the pocket or sits happily on the dashboard.

Its outer casing is a dark grey/black metallic material that proved scratch resistant and sturdy, with discreet rubber flaps preventing dust and dirt from getting into the headphone and USB ports.

Motorola wasn’t fooling around when it developed this model — it meets military specifications for protection against dust, shock, vibration and blowing rain.

Display
The 3.1-inch HVGA (320 x 480 pixel) touchscreen holds up well, showing crisp images and bright icons with automatic dimming to suit various lighting conditions, perfect for checking e-mails or watching short videos whether in the office or out in the field.

The touchscreen works well, with accurate controls and a hard, glassy coating that manages to hold up to bumps without cracking. There’s a little fadeout at extreme viewing angles, but it’s unlikely you’ll want to gather a crowd to watch a movie on the screen that often, anyways.

The screen was a bit more prone to smudges than other touch screens, but that’s a caveat more than made up for by its scratch resistance, meaning the smudges are just a wipe away with any suitable cloth or even shirt sleeve you have handy.

Keyboard
Only the Android OS’ default touch screen keyboard is included, and it’s a mixed bag on the i1. Typing is accurate and relatively easy once you get the hang of it, and you can type in either landscape or portrait mode.

The only downside is a slight but noticeable lag when typing, particularly when Android is suggesting words. It’s not bad for blasting short text messages, but it’s one of the few moments in normal usage when the relatively slow processor holds back the experience.

Additional Buttons
The phone also has a number dedicated buttons to make it quick to access the major features, foremost among them the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button.

The generously-sized PTT button is saddled on the left side of the device, like a traditional Walkie Talkie’s trigger. It works great if you’re quickly jumping back into an active PTT conversation, and offers up a list of frequent contacts to message to if you’re starting a new one. One downside, however, is that you actually have to swipe the touch screen to unlock the phone before using the PTT functionality, an extra step that prevents accidental calls, but adds a bit of cumbersome lag time to the process.

Other hard buttons include:

• A round directional pad with a central “action” button for navigating through menus or messages.
• A call button for bringing up the phone features or placing a call.
• An end call button for ending a call or powering down the device.
• A camera button for opening the camera application or taking a picture.
• A lock button on the top of the phone for turning off the screen and locking or unlocking the device for use.
• A rubberized volume rocker that controls both the ringer volume as well as media playback.
• Four buttons built into the screen that take you back to the home screen, back to the previous screen, silence the phone and show you options, respectively.
• A rather sturdy “lock” switch that must be pushed to remove the phone’s backing and access the removable battery and memory.

That’s a fairly long list of buttons, particularly as many phones are moving towards a more minimalist feel, but the i1′s casing doesn’t feel crowded and still feels curvier than some of Motorola’s other offerings, like the Droid 2.

PERFORMANCE

Powered by the Freescale Zeus 2.0 ARM1136 processor, which only gets up to 500 MHz, the Motorola i1 is on the lower end of devices. That said, aside from the aforementioned keyboard lag, the phone OS felt quick and responsive most of the time, quickly pulling up contacts or zipping through available applications almost instantly, even compared to much beefier counterparts.

There’s a lot of functionality purposefully left off the i1 to make sure the experience stays smooth, however, and that means sacrifices will be made. The smartphone runs Android OS 1.5, for example, which doesn’t support turn-by-turn navigation, Flash, or a lot of other recent functionality upgrades that even early Android phones like the T-Mobile G1 now support. I also noticed a lot of big-name applications missing off the i1′s application store, although users are still left with a very generous selection.

The biggest performance bottleneck, however, is the phone’s network itself. The iDEN PTT is very, very slow compared to modern 3G networks, meaning a lot of Web-powered features will simply not work (no streaming music, no streaming video and horrendous wait times for most Web pages using the normal browser). Motorola has given users a few creative workarounds, though: An easy-to-use Wi-Fi connection drains the battery faster but makes the iDEN’s sluggishness a moot point when you have access, and the included Opera browser compresses pages and greatly improves web speeds when not near an available hot spot.

Wireless/Call Quality
Call quality was mediocre, occasionally static-y and almost always slightly tinny on regular calls and even worse on PTT calls. Calls would drop occasionally, and service was spotty in the Boston, MA-area where the device was tested out. Rarely were the dead zones very large, but they were inconvenient enough that I needed to double check my available bars before placing a call.

Productivity
The i1 supports e-mail admirably, integrating perfectly with Google-powered mail services and IMAP or POP3 mailboxes. Support for Microsoft Exchange is available only through third-party software. Accessing messages, despite the slow network, was fairly reliable and quick, though if pictures or attachments were included in the e-mail, it was best to wait for Wi-Fi before viewing them.

The phone also supports, natively or with a quick App Store download, most Instant Messaging clients.

Access to the rather large Android Marketplace, as well as a fully-functioning WebKit web browser, means Motorola i1 users can view most regular files quickly and easily with the included software, or actually create and edit documents with any number of inexpensive application purchases.

Entertainment
While the i1 lacks native YouTube support, it can still play music and videos, along with a variety of games and other entertainment from the Android Market. The only trick is getting content onto the device, which can be achieved by either connecting to a Wi-Fi network, in which case movies can be streamed or downloaded if they’re in a compatible format, or uploaded from a computer via the phone’s mini-USB cable.

Over-the-air downloads are nearly impossible due to the iDEN network’s slow speed.

I sampled a few small movie clips and each played flawlessly with the included media player, as did a number of MP3s I tested. Audio playback was a little tinny and scratchy, but probably not unbearable except for the true audiophile.

The Android Market provided access to hundreds of free and paid game choices. I installed two and, within minutes, was shooting paper balls into a virtual basket and was trying my hand at pinball. Both ran smoothly, and neither cost me a dime.

Camera
The i1′s camera is a fairly standard 5 megapixel affair, capable of quickly switching between stills and video. The dedicated camera button is a bit tough, making it almost simpler to use the on-screen camera controls, which offer up advanced options from image filters, geotagging and various effects like solarize.

Pictures were generally crisp and clear, although as with almost any mobile advice the quality is directly determined by how steady your hand is at the time of the shooting. The camera includes a decent (by mobile standards) flash, and I managed a few decent shots even in dim conditions, although completely dark scenes stayed that way, even with the flash going strong.

Battery Life
Battery life is rated at 210 minutes of continuous usage time and up to 100 hours of standby. The phone lasted a full day whenever I fully charged it the night before, including a mix of calls, web browsing and Wi-Fi, although the latter predictably drained the battery much quicker, as did the phone’s GPS. Fortunately, Sprint provides custom widgets to make turning these features on and off a one-tap affair, which can greatly extend your phone’s daily lifespan.

CONCLUSION

If you need the iDEN network’s Push-to-Talk and want a touch screen or Android apps, the Motorola i1 delivers but with some hefty compromises ranging from a dated version of the operating system to a excruciatingly slow Internet experience when not in range of Wi-Fi. Whether those compromises are worth it depends on your needs, because Motorola has included a lot to love for the right crowd, not the least of which is it sturdy-yet-sexy ruggedized body.

Until more modern alternatives hit the market, this basic entry into the growing plethora of Android OS devices will have to do for those whose work keeps them in constant touch with not only their co-workers but the wild outdoors.

Pros:

• Ruggedized hardware that’s easy on the eyes
• The first iDEN Push-to-Talk touchscreen phone
• Access to thousands of gaming, media and productivity applications on the Android Marketplace

Cons:

• The aging Android 1.5 operating system
• The sluggish iDEN data network
• Unpolished elements that induce frequent minor crashes

BUILD AND DESIGN
The Sony Bloggie Touch shoots 1920×1080 MP4 video at 30 fps via its Exmor CMOS sensor. It also shoots 720/60p and 720/30p and takes 12.8 megapixel stills through its f/2.8 wide angle lens.

The Sony Bloggie Touch comes in two models, one with 4GB of internal memory (good for about two hours of 720/30p video), which costs $180 at launch, and an 8GB model for $200, which can capture approximately four hours of the lowest resolution video.

I can’t state enough how closely the Bloggie Touch resembles an Android smartphone, even if it’s a bit smaller than the current crop of handsets. The front of the candy-bar shaped camcorder is slightly rounded and features a high quality brushed casing. The lens is situated at the top end, surrounded by a smooth silver plastic tip. I suppose the smooth area surrounding the lens is designed to warn users of any pending finger creep over the lens, and it works in that regard.

The large 3.0-inch display sits on the back of the Bloggie Touch, just above the record button.

The HDMI out, hidden in a small notch, and wrist-strap slot are on one side of the pocket camcorder, while the on/off button, stills-mode toggle button, and on-board mic are on the other side. The mic placement is a little perplexing though. It’s very easy to hold your finger over the mic without realizing it, which happened to me more than once. Sony should have at least added a little notch so users could identify the area by touch.

Two on-board speakers are located on the top of the Bloggie Touch, while the tripod receptacle and pop-out USB are on the bottom.

If there is any cause for complaint, it’s that both the touch screen and lens are very exposed and are almost begging for scratches. If you lay the Bloggie down on either the front or back, you’ll be resting the device on one of the two. Also, both the body and screen are fingerprint magnets. Expect much smudge build-up with prolonged use.

Ergonomics and Controls
Everything is nicely spaced and the minimalistic controls definitely meet the “stupid simple” standard. Of course, most of the controls are hidden in the touch screen, and even considering those, the Bloggie Touch is easy to pick up and operate out of the box.

The Bloggie Touch also has a decent weight and balance, as well as a solid feel, making it easy and comfortable for long shoots. The built-in accelerometer is also a nice touch, as it allows users to horizontally or vertically shoot with the Bloggie. However, it will not automatically adjust mid-shot.

Menus and Modes
There are no picture controls available to the Sony Bloggie Touch user, just a handful of shooting modes. For MP4 movies, users can select 1080/30p, 720/60p, and 720/30p. For stills, there are options for 12 megapixels (4:3 aspect ratio), 8 megapixels (16:9), and 2 megapixels (16:9).

There are a handful of device settings:

• Beep: on, off
• Language setting: English, French, Spanish, Japanese
• Demo mode: on, off
• Initialize (factory reset)
• HDMI output: 60Hz, 50Hz
• LUN settings (USB): multi, single
• Format (erases all stored movies and stills)

There is also a self-timer that when ‘on’, turns the Bloggie Touch off after either two minutes or ten minutes. Finally, there are standard playback features to shuffle through stills and footage and trash unwanted clips. There is also a “Share it Later” feature that allows you to tag photos and clips for upload and sharing via social media later.

Display
The Bloggie Touch display has a pixel density of 720×400, which is more than enough for the 3.0-inch LCD. It’s bright, and compared to other camcorder displays, it’s big. In fact, most mid-range and entry-level camcorders have a 2.7-inch display, which I’ve long complained is too small, especially for touch controls.

Unfortunately, there are no picture or brightness controls. That could be a problem, especially when shooting in sunny situations, as the sun’s glare could make things difficult to see in the reflective LCD screen.

PERFORMANCE
As stated, the Bloggie meets the main criteria for pocket camcorders: it’s stupid simple to use. Simply turn it on, hit record, and watch the action unfold through the 3.0-inch LCD. It’s a case of what-you-see-is-what-you-get in terms of framing as there is no image clipping. There is a 4x digital zoom which is controlled by either dragging an icon across the display or tapping the tele or wide indicators represented by a T or W, respectively.

The zoom is clunky and not very smooth, and, as a digital zoom, it predictably destroys image quality. This is because digital zooms simply digitally enlarge the pictures instead of zooming in optically.

The Bloggie Touch has internal storage, either 4GB or 8GB. At the highest resolution (1920×1080 at 30fps), the 4GB holds about 40 minutes of footage, and the 8GB 80 minutes (the pocket camcorder can hold about two hours and four hours of 720/30p footage respectively). Oddly, continuous shooting is limited to approximately 30 minutes.

As for the battery, I filled up my Bloggie Touch with 2 hours of footage and it was still chugging along. The battery indicator in the display was way off, however. It showed four and then three bars for the first 100 minutes before quickly draining down to no bars. Still, the fact that I managed to fill the device to capacity with active footage before it died definitely impressed.

Shooting Performance
Like most other pocket HD camcorders, all Bloggie Touch picture controls, including focus, white balance, and exposure are automated. For the most part, Sony succeeds at keeping the Bloggie in line with the shooting situation, but the Bloggie Touch can be finicky and fooled. For example, the Bloggie Touch has face detection, and it can throw the focus off if the subject is moving through the frame. Also, the white balance is sensitive to ambient light, which can shift footage colors noticeably.

This is not to suggest the Bloggie Touch is worse than other pocket camcorders in this regard. In fact, the Bloggie Touch was actually quicker to react to changing conditions than rival devices.

Video Quality
In constant light, the Sony Bloggie Touch shoots very clean and smooth video free of digital artifacts and crisp edges. The colors are nicely balanced with very little saturation. At 1080p, the detail level is a little low for an HD camcorder, but that’s only apparent when the picture is blown up. The 720/60p option produces some extremely smooth footage thanks to the doubled frame-rate, which makes it ideal for sports action. In low light, noise and artifacts creep in and the color is thrown off, but it’s not nearly as severe as with other pocket camcorders.

Audio Quality
Provided your finger isn’t covering the mic while shooting, the Bloggie Touch produces decent-enough audio. It won’t blow you away with fidelity, but it’s no worse or better than other on-board mics. For once, I won’t complain about the lack of an external mic input as it would compromise the design.

Stills Quality
The Bloggie Touch shoots JPEG stills up to 12 megapixels. Too often, manufacturers haphazardly interpolate extra pixels to bump up the megapixel count, which makes for large and ugly images. While I’m guessing Sony is using interpolation to achieve 12 megapixels, the stills are outstanding for a pocket camcorder. The colors are nicely balanced and the pictures are extremely sharp when compared to smartphone pics, and even some low-end point and shoots. Viewing the stills at full size reveals some image grain, but it’s not enough to affect the overall quality when viewed normally.

Operation and Extras
The Sony Bloggie ships with a USB extension cable and wrist strap. It comes preloaded with the new Bloggie software. There are a couple things missing, the most glaring being a carrying case or cloth bag, if for nothing else than to protect the lens and display. A microfiber cloth would have been a nice addition too, considering how quickly the fingerprints and smudges accumulate. Also, Sony has once again excluded the HDMI cable, which is not a surprise but still disappointing.

Sony has replaced its standard Picture Motion Browser software with the new Bloggie Software that focuses more on social media and sharing footage. There are options of instant uploads to Facebook, Flickr, and other social media sites, including Sony Personal Space.

Personal Space is 1GB of cloud storage that users can upload photos and video too through the Bloggie Software. Users can then email links to the content to whomever they choose. It’s a great feature and useful for those who want to share photos with only a specified few and not their entire buddy list.

I actually liked the old PMB as it was much slicker and less buggy than other bundled software suites. The new Bloggie Software is hands down a better program and seriously rivals Flip’s vaunted FlipShare as one of the best.

Of course, as with all MP4 files, users can simply drag and drop them out of the Bloggie over USB and avoid the Bloggie Software all together.

CONCLUSIONS
The Sony Bloggie Touch is my number one pocket HD camcorder on the Technology Holiday Buyer’s Guide for a reason. There is currently no better pocket camcorder on the market. With the Bloggie Touch, Sony combines an attractive design, firm build and a large and responsive touch display with great image quality and solid shooting performance. The new and improved Bloggie Touch software and Personal Spaces are icing on the cake.

There is room for improvement, however. The mic placement baffles me, and the Bloggie Touch is missing what I consider  necessary accessories (carrying bag, microfiber cloth). Also, the focus and white balance controls are too finicky for my liking, and the video is not as detailed as I would have preferred. But none of these issues are severe enough to cripple the device.

Pocket camcorders should offer a combination of good-enough performance with simple and fun operation. By that standard, the Sony Bloggie exceedingly succeeds.
