My next smart phone upgrade

phones

As with every year, my carrier contract expire this month meaning new phone is available for upgrade. The question is, which one?

I was impressed with the new IOS7 and once I installed it on my iPhone 4s I immediately realized that I need a newer iPhone if I want things to be smooth. On the other hand, I got tiered of my Note 2 and its dimensions as typing with one hand is a pain and what better Android than the new HTC One? Lastly, I saw Xperia Z with a friend and strangely liked its feature of use any pen and the full HD screen.

I will most likely give my old phone to a member of the family thus the reason to decided if my next phone will be from apple or android so I can give the older version away. Will update you with my decision.

Using iPhone without cover

The recent IOS7 redesign made me remove the much needed cover exposing my iPhone 4s to danger but damn, the design is beautiful and with the new them it looks sweeter than ever. Of course the this may also be due that my phone upgrade is soon so I’m not that worried about it although I will likely get HTC One.

IOS 7 impressions

 IOS 7 finally arrived and while it took some time to download and install due to servers overload I must say the wait was worth it. First of all, the design while in some areas not so great is amazing. The IOS needed change and what better way than a full makeover? Now I know pretty colors don’t make a great OS but the new IOS got some important under the hood improvements. The best thing is the new multitask preview as you can now go to the app switcher and it will show whats going on in each app. Beware, this drains the battery faster than anything you ever seen, thankfully an option to turn this off is there.

The new OS runs slower on old hardware, in my case the iPhone 4s but still usable and while not all new features are available on old hardware it is still enough to upgrade. One last thing, please keep in mind that IOS 7 while great is still no Android so don’t expect extreme freedom as Apple is still unlocking things, step by step.

A Jailbreak may or may not come but so far things are looking good and hopefully soon we wont need to Jailbreak.
