INFORMATIC VIRUS

A computer virus that can be spread through the air 

This virus was like a virus in the air traveling through the wireless network via access points.


Researchers at Liverpool University have shown for the first time that wireless networks can be infected with a virus and it can move through densely populated areas as efficiently as a common cold is spread between humans.

For this work , which has been published in Journal on Information Security , the team designed and simulated an attack by a virus , called " Chameleon " , and proved that not only could spread rapidly among households and businesses, but was able to avoid detection and to identify the points where the wifi is less protected by encryption and passwords.

The study was tested in Belfast and London in a laboratory setting and found that Chameleon resembled a virus in the air, traveling through the wireless network via access points ( APs) that connects households and undertakings to wifi networks.

The areas that are more densely populated with more and more access points next to each other , which meant that the virus spreads more rapidly, particularly through networks that can be connected within 10 to 50 meters.

One of the authors , Alan Marshall , explained that " when Chameleon attacks an AP , does not affect its operation, but is able to gather and communicate user credentials wifi that connected to it." " The virus then sought other wifi access points that could connect to and infect " he added . Finally , Chameleon was able to avoid being captured by the virus detection systems that are present on the internet or computers.

"Although many access points are sufficiently encrypted and password protected , the virus simply went ahead to find those who were not heavily protected points including free wifi in public places like coffee shops and airports," the authors note .

As explained , the wifi connections are increasingly a target for hackers because of security vulnerabilities that exist . "However , it was assumed that it was not possible to develop a virus that could attack the wifi networks , but we have shown that this is possible and can spread rapidly ," concluded Marshall.

SMERTPHONES FIREFOX OS

Smartphones Firefox OS promises 

$ 25 

The Mozilla mobile OS has starred in many new features, including new terminals Alcatel, ZTE and Huawei.



While other phones are stealing the headlines, there are also developments in the world of low-cost operating system for mobile and emerging markets. The main thing is that Spreadtrum , designer of chips for mobile platforms racing far ahead with Qualcomm and Mediatek , announced the SC6821 chipset , which will produce smartphones with Firefox OS for $ 25 .

In addition, the Mozilla Foundation has also unveiled a called terminal Flame T2Mobile China that will manufacture and sell only online . The goal is to become the reference device , a similar role in meeting the Nexus in the Android ecosystem . It will have a dual core 1.2 Ghz and will cost $ 100.

Telefónica, the multinational telecommunications that has supported the system, has reiterated that it will continue extending the countries in which it operates . Indeed , the refusal of WhatsApp to take your application to Firefox OS , says still negotiating to change his mind and expects the purchase by Facebook pave the way . Vodafone has also joined the project , which are twenty other operators, including Deutsche Telekom , Sprint and America Movil.

new terminals                                                                    

Besides the terminal pioneer Geeksphone Spanish , there are currently three mobile available: Alcatel One Touch Fire , LG and ZTE Fireweb Open . The MWC have presented seven other devices, including a tablet. The Huawei Ascend II will be similar to Y300 Y300 but Firefox will come equipped with Android OS instead . It will be the first with this operating system for the Chinese company.

Meanwhile , ZTE has presented at MWC two new ZTE Open series system equipped with Mozilla: ZTE ZTE Open C and Open II. The brand expects to sell more than a million of these handsets during 2014. The first will come with a Qualcomm dual-core processor at 1.2 Ghz and Firefox OS 1.3 and will be marketed by Movistar in Spain . It will be launched in six colors , dark blue , light blue, turquoise, red, white and orange. The second is a successor to the ZTE Open, Telefónica launched in July 2013.

Finally , Alcatel has presented its new range OnteTouch Fire , consisting of three mobile phones and a tablet. The cheaper, the Fire C , has a 3.5-inch screen and 480x320 pixel resolution , dual core processor at 1.2 GHz and 0.3 megapixel camera . Meanwhile, the Fire Fire E and S represent a leap into the middle range , with 4.5-inch screen and a resolution of 960x540 pixels. The former is more basic and has dual-core processor and five megapíxesles camera , while the second has four cores , eight megapixel camera and 4G connection .

The tablet , called Fire 7 , has as expected with a 7 inch screen . Its resolution is 960x540 pixels, which seems rather low for a device of this size, but remember we're talking about devices that do not know the price, but it is assumed will be very cheap. There have been many more details , apart from indicating which features dual core processor 1.2 GHz the same as everyone else .

DROPLETON

Discover dropletón, quantum droplet 

Physicists in Germany and the USA have first described a type of quasi-particle composed of a bunch of electrons and holes.


A team of researchers from the University of Marburg (Germany ) and JILA (University of Colorado - Boulder NIST) has been found in semiconductor center means a new quasi-particle : the dropleton . The work is published this week in the journal Nature.

Quantum excitations are quasiparticles formed by smaller particles that together act like one predictable behavior. An example is the exciton , integrated by an electron and a hole ( where the electron could be but is not ) cuasipartícula attached by electrostatic forces . "We're talking about five droplets with five holes and electrons ," says one of the researchers

The dropletón is the sum of a small group of excitons , ie , a few photons and condense gaps for a second ( 25 picoseconds, or 25 billionths of a second) as the liquid droplets .

Its properties and appearance of " droplet " ( droplet , ) have inspired scientists to christen the new quasiparticle as dropletón . In Spanish it would be something like " gotitón " . It also has a structure and quantum characteristics different from those of other known .

" The droplets of electrons and holes in semiconductors are known , but usually contain billions of these electrons and holes ," explains Steven Cundiff JILA physicist , one of the authors . " We're talking about five droplets with five holes and electrons ."

To create the new quasi-particles have been used ultrafast laser pulses . With them has generated the hole and electron plasma necessary to produce excitons , of which after the dropletones arise .

Weather relatively "long" life makes these quasiparticles stable enough to facilitate the study of quantum interactions between light and matter. According to the researchers , their detection is of interest in the field of fundamental physics .

"Regarding the practical benefits , no one will create a gizmo quantum dots , but this has indirect benefits to improve our understanding of how electrons interact in various situations, including optoelectronic devices ," said Cundiff .

NO MORE WOOF

Don't say GUAU, say HELLO



The talking dogs no longer belong only to films , cartoons and Android applications. A group of Scandinavian researchers the task of bringing superior pet screens and throw them in real life was proposed. And now they are ready to show the world the first version of No More Woof ( no barking ) , and a portable external device that is capable of translating the thoughts of dogs to human language .

The project may sound a bit crazy , but its creators say it is quite simple , since that use technical mechanisms already used in other areas such as electroencephalography and microcomputer . "The technology is already there, basically what we do is package it in a different way ," says Per Cromwell , co-founder of the Nordic Society for Invention and Discovery , the laboratory is dedicated to developing this product.

The first thing that the device is measuring electrical signals from the mind of the animal through the EEG sensors . A computerized interface then converts them to words , which are uttered by a small device attached to the speaker . "Every brain produces when thinking patterns , so we just have to map these patterns and interpret them. For dogs , we have managed to identify and distinguish between feelings of fatigue , anger, curiosity and hunger , "says Cromwell.

Although currently only dogs can speak with a single voice type, researchers are working to have a range of timbres and sounds that fit the breed and personality of each can. Also, try to offer the product not only in English but also in French, Spanish and Chinese.

Researchers working on a range of timbres and sounds that fit the breed and personality can

" Listen to what an animal is thinking is a fascinating concept , and to communicate with them is a dream for many people ," says Cromwell on the enormous interest generated in your project Indiegogo crowdfunding platform . In just a month managed to raise $ 20,000 - double the goal they had set - to fund their research. "It was overwhelming , I must say ," says co-founder .

On the campaign can provide small grants or Advance purchase a prototype of the product. There are four versions available in the presale , the prices vary between 65 and 600 dollars, according to the number of features and the degree of accuracy of the device . The researchers stress , however, that all initial prototypes ( buyers receive within two months) will be very basic : "Although we are delighted with the results so far, we would like to emphasize that this is a work in progress and not a finished product . Still " .


The Nordic Society for Invention and Discovery is a small laboratory founded by a group of professional communicators who discovered that " create interesting products is much more fun than advertising or public relations." Besides Woof No More is determined to develop other equally unusual devices like flying carpet by magnets , the shotgun that shoots seeds of flowers instead of bullets or hammock chair that recharges your tablet

SAMSUNG GALAXY S5

NEW SAMSUNG GALAXY S5

Samsung has introduced its new Galaxy S5 and readies for market model that aims to maintain its privileged status within the high-end Android.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 just be exposed in Barcelona and we have found a terminal continuity in almost all design , finished in plastic screen but with news that the Galaxy S5 can now say that it is waterproof and includes a biometric identifier of our footprint on the start button and a sensor to measure our pulse on the rear.

Samsung Galaxy S5:

 Waterproof:

If the Galaxy S4 with the Korean company not risked in the design , sure to keep ( in my opinion quite rightly , but not everyone sees it that) some personality in the terminal , with the new Samsung Galaxy S5 we have more of the same. Are three generations with little change and that can be passed as invoice level recognize that something has changed.

The design of the Samsung Galaxy S5 remains mild in shapes and finished in plastic , even simulating the skin as in Note 3 with a perforated design that should be more comfortable to hold than just plastic. It is true that we also have in simulating metal frame , but it is still plastic, which can leave it another year away in that section of the other large terminal segment and maintain a certain group of consumers feel that with these finishes can not qualify for a premium price or really considered high end .
S5 Galaxy Finish

Where did you successful with your new Samsung phone is to give resistance to water and dirt. That IP67 protection against dirt and water do we meet with something that might not appeal to everyone : a cover for the microUSB 3.0 port. Yes, it's a real chore having to remove it and put it .

The 2k screen will have to wait:

All hopes to see a revolution in this Galaxy S5 were on your screen if we ignore the issue of design and finish. But there was no surprise and Koreans have maintained the Super AMOLED screen of 5 inches ( specifically 5.1 inches) with 1080p resolution. Nothing for 2k resolution as many expected for this MWC 2014. Surely that leap Samsung chooses to save for your other favorite son today, the Galaxy Note 3 which improves every year.

In terms of basic features , there is no big surprises. We have the Galaxy S5 driven by a quad-core processor at 2.5 Ghz , with 2 GB of RAM ( 3GB nothing like the Note) and the choice model with 16 or 32 GB, expandable with microSD cards .
The battery gives us the feeling that has been somewhat lagging behind rivals and is " only " 2800 mAh , yes, can be exchanged . Samsung promises 10 hours of web browsing and up to 12 in video playback, which is a very high amount .
S5 galaxy screen.


The dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy S5 remain in good shape, with a weight of 145 grams and 8.1 mm thickness . High and has 142 mm wide, 72.5 mm. As for connectivity , for almost everything: LTE , microUSB 3.0, NFC , Ant + , Blueooth 4.0, Wifi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac and infrared port . Curious is the function called Download Booster , linking WiFi and LTE connectivity while for large downloads.

The camera of the Galaxy S5 , now faster:

Samsung has placed its Galaxy S5 a new 16 megapixel sensor (secondary 2 MP ) seeking to reassert itself as one of the best cameras in the segment, but in the end , many of its rivals eventually win the game to media less so . Camera for Galaxy S5 has opted to improve the operating speed ( 0.3 seconds autofocus ) and include more improvements at the software level .


It is striking Selective Focus system, which as we are seeing in many terminals , allows an image using software refocus after taking the photo . Also the HDR mode has been improved and Samsung wants the option to choose when to take a picture with a lot of dynamic range. In this Galaxy S5 we can see in real time how I wanted this functionality if we apply the photo.

Galaxy S5 in hand
Another expected for the Samsung Galaxy S5 camera function is 4K/UHD video recording . Note they maintained three expected that the Samsung also added to this new Galaxy . It is also a function of these media that stand in packaging and cloud the view of consumers with "gross " megapixels.

The fingerprint reader on the start button:

And also pulse
The Galaxy S5 had to include a biometric identifier or yes . He saw it coming and finally been no surprises and Samsung has integrated into the start button. Given the oval shape of this button and its smaller size finger, Samsung system works by sliding your finger on the button.
This way we can identify include up to three users , and here Samsung has not been as conservative as Apple and opened a little hand . Payments , for example Paypal, be authorized to use our footprint instead of the usual password.
galaxy gold S5

The surprise of the Galaxy we have found a sensor located right next to the LED flash camera . Wherever it is logical that the index finger or heart supported Samsung has placed a small camera in the style of the Press Withings that is able to measure our beats and give information about how our heart goes to the suite of the company that wants cuantificarnos maximum .

Samsung Galaxy S5 Price and Availability:

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is expected to arrive on the market soon and will do with Android 4.4.2 . It will be on April 11 when we can buy it, but not yet announced price or reviewers for launch operators in different markets .



CHINA MWC (NEW TECH)

Devices that come from China MWC

Lenovo , ZTE , Huawei and Oppo are positioned as the leading Chinese manufacturers , while not the only ones. The first three showed new devices at Mobile World Congress, while waiting for Oppo March.



Huawei MediaPad X1 . Huawei introduced this giant 7 inch (1920 x 1200) and quad-core processor at 1.6 GHz Your screen and design are two of his greatest virtues and, in principle , should compete with terminals as Nexus 7 or Kindle HDX .



Huawei TalkBand B1. Huawei also targeted fashion bracelets smart TalkBand B1, a device with a very similar to Gear Fit design, the Samsung wristwatch . Of course, nobody can accuse anyone of plagiarism , as were a day apart.



Lenovo S860 . The Lenovo phone combines elegant design with metal body with a 5-inch screen with a 1280 x 720 reslución ; decent , but nothing amazing . The best is , in principle, the battery life of 4000 mAh



Lenovo Yoga 10 HD + . A new version of the Android Tablet Lenovo notable for its design and improved ergonomics allowing it to hold its own. Holds up to 18 hours of moderate use and has power to move any application without problem .



Omate TrueSmart . ZTE , Lenovo and Huawei are the big brands, but there are smaller ones that have achieved success. Is Omate case , which grossed over a million dollars on Kickstarter for smart watch . The interface reminiscent of Windows Phone , but it is an Android device with 5 megapixel camera and dual-core processor .



Grand ZTE Memo II. Behind a rather unfortunate name hides a phone with a 6-inch screen , careful design and optimum performance. It seems that ZTE think size matters , as it was the only Android device presented at MWC .



C. Open ZTE ZTE is also concerned about the low-end market and continues its commitment to OS Firefox . The Open C will not surprise anyone by their performance and features, but is not its goal . Its design makes it one of the terminals Firefox OS more care.



ZTE Open II. Other phone Firefox OS , although in this case it is even cheaper device. 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB of storage recall the principles of the smart phone , but it will make mobile affordable.

DONKEY KONG GAME

'Donkey Kong ' comes to the Wii U

One of the great characters of Nintendo Wii U lands on after one of his best deliveries with Donkey Kong Country : Tropical Freeze.


This time the Kong family island has been invaded by Vikings with a heart of ice that came in large boats , and after giving a honk with his magic horn, the island paradise turned into an icy fortress. But what Kong did not expect this displeasure was after the arrival of an explosive cyclogenesis . So strong is the storm , which could lead the gorilla family far from their home , forcing them to begin an arduous journey across six islands to recover their territory and their beloved bananas . In each of them will encounter fierce and levels including adventures on land , under the lake , clashes with bosses and shortcuts, secret passages , and a dynamic camera that allow you to see angles that had never been on an adventure of Donkey .

At various points in the series, Donkey Kong can join forces rooting for one of their peers and gain new skills . This time , not only allowed to carry one, but three . Diddy Kong returns armed with her Cacahuetola (one launch peanuts ) and reaction barrel ; small Dixie Kong with gomatola ( actually , as cacahuetola , but rubber), which makes her ponytail in the propeller of a helicopter and allows gain height each jump , and Cranky Kong for the first time the patriarch and father of Donkey , who joins the adventure as a playable character .

NOKIA PHONES


Nokia introduces its X range of Android phones

The first Android phones of Nokia , aimed at the low end , have an interface similar to Windows Phone .

                                      
Nokia has presented Monday at the Mobile World Congress 2014 its range of Nokia devices based X Android Open Source Project ( AOSP ) . While compatible with Android applications, X Nokia devices are customized to include Microsoft cloud and applications of both companies, as well as a screen similar to Windows Phone start . Applications can be downloaded via the Nokia Store, a store that includes 600,000 of the 800,000 apps in the present of Google Play Store .

Nokia X Nokia Nokia X + and XL are the three devices presented Monday in Barcelona, ​​with prices of 89 , 99 and 109 euros , respectively. The aim of the company recently acquired by Microsoft would attack the low end in Europe, where Asha , which works well in emerging markets, not just throw .

TELEGRAM EXPLODE

Telegram explode like WhatsApp...



At 19:25 CET , WhatsApp stopped working . Fifteen minutes later , not to be outdone Telegram and stopped working . The mobile app for both iOS - Telegram and Android - did not show the " tick " confirms sending messages to the server normally.
The news spread like wildfire and everyone echoed what happened first Telegram and, this fall , in their profiles of the various social networks , where there seems to be rife panic. In the networks explanation was that the fall Whatsapp , there has been a mass migration in a few minutes to Telegram , the flow of users is brutal , about 100 new records per second , exceeding expectations and caused their Telegram continuous failures .
Regarding Telegram, this was her golden opportunity to show that their service really is greater than your opponent , but apparently has been overtaken by circumstances. According put on his Twitter account : "We're getting 100 new registrations every second. Working hard to fix connection problems in Europe. "
So respondents from Telegram
On Friday in Telegram and had problems with their connections and they sent a message to its users:
Hello! Following recent events, Telegram instantly became popular in many countries around the world . For this reason , our team had to improve synchronization of contacts with local numbers , which have no country code or city.

Unfortunately, while trying to improve synchronization of contacts, we hurt yesterday for a short period of time. As a result , you should have been notified of random people from different countries by joining Telegram, and some of them could be a contacted.

The problem was solved yesterday. We made our best efforts to remove all imported contacts incorrectly . We regret all the inconveniences that we could have caused you .

WHATSAPP FAIL!!

WhatsApp again I stay 'hung'

The instant messaging application WhatsApp fell again on Saturday afternoon. Since 1930 , customers began to report the failure via social networks like Twitter. WhatsApp not only in Spain was hung , customers from countries like United States of America and other countries like Ecuador or Argentina also noted the fall of Service



Not the first time WhatsApp gets ' hung ' , but this time it is especially remarkable since the glitch has occurred a few days after his score was announced acquisition by Facebook . This has resulted CIRCUMSTANCES jokes among its users has been conjectured between the buying and the application crash .

However , as explained a few days ago WORLD Mauro Fuentes, director of social media agency Ogilvy in Spain , the acquisition " should be no difference [ for users ] perhaps leave Facebook to connect WhatsApp for to write from there but the bottom [ of the purchase ] is based on information that those 450 million users WhatsApp can bring to the ecosystem of Facebook and Instagram "explains .

The company has explained through his profile on Twitter , WhatsApp Status , where usually target users in case there are service outages that are " experiencing service problems " and expect " to be back recovered soon "

Facebook and three days ago and already bought whatsapp was dropped twice in less than 24H.

GOOGLE

Project Tango: Google working on a phone that creates 3-D maps of their environment

The terminal has Android operating system with sensors capable of generating more than 250,000 3D measurements per second.



Technology giant Google has announced it is working on a smart phone called " Tango" which is equipped with 3-D sensors that allow you to instantly create a three dimensional model of the surrounding space .

The company moved it will release the first prototypes of this device on 14 March and is looking for partners and creative minds to exploit the possibilities of this initiative, which is " in the early days " of the transition from laboratories research into the hands of users .

" We are looking for professional developers who dream of creating more than a touch screen application ," Google said in the website "Tango Project" .

This device is the work of the Project Group and Advanced Technologies (ATAP , for its acronym in English ) , a division of Motorola that Google decided to leave when he sold the old mobile manufacturer to China's Lenovo in late January .

Google hopes to design three-dimensional maps with ability to locate the exact point of any object or augmented reality applications , with potential uses for video games or advertising.

" Although we believe that we know where we will take this technology , history suggests that we be humble in our predictions ," said the California firm .

The prototype is a mobile phone there is now 12.7 inches containing hardware and software designed to capture three-dimensional movement of the device , its sensors are capable of 250,000 measurements per second , and at the same time create a map of your environment .

SAMSUNG WATCH

Next watch Samsung is not Android

Will be released with the Tizen operating system, based on Linuz and made by exdesarrolladores MeeGo .



Recently it came to light that Samsung had the opportunity to buy at the time, or at least invest in Android, when it was just a project for a small company of eight people. South Korea jumped at the opportunity and was Google who became the operating system . Years later, he is the most popular mobile ecosystem in the world.

Although based on open source software and is very juicy for manufacturers so cheap, Google controls Android quite far , especially the services must be associated with it. And that translates into huge profits by using applications such as email, YouTube, etc. .

Not easy to penetrate this market right now , unless you're Apple , which hit before and develops smartphones that sell for millions despite making war on their own. Microsoft is trying with Windows Phone , but even though analysts predict that there will come a time when it has a significant share for now is very low compared to Android.

After hatching of the first smartphones and tablets later, right now we live in the first steps of a new category of mobile devices: wearable . In English ' wearables ' , these devices we carry are those that monitor our activity and can take the form of a bracelet, watch , glasses or even shirts .

It is a very lucrative market , not only for the money that can come from the sale of devices but also the associated data . And Samsung does not want the same thing happened with Android to occur. Now that these devices are not yet in the minds of all consumers, now that there is a large installed base and now that there is a company that rule with an iron fist ... Try to be that company and not dance to playing another .

Thus , it makes sense that Samsung is planning to make a second version of its smartwatch , the Galaxy Gear, based Tizen OS. Apart from the changes you need to watch , it would be an important step in Samsung's strategy to enhance it 's own ' software ' . This operating system has been sponsored by the Linux Foundation and its development is led by Intel, Samsung and former MeeGo developers , Tizen 's predecessor .

Developers can create applications for Tizen in HTML5 or native libraries with Enlightenment Foundation . The negative part of it is that although it has been constructed taking open code base , the latest version of Tizen SDK has a Samsung proprietary code .

The purpose and the reasons are quite clear Samsung : Tizen go to conquering a fairly virgin territory while working to get the operating system also made ​​a dent in smartphones and mobile , where Google is king.

KAZAM UNVEILS

Kazam unveils its first LTE phone

The phone will be launched in the second quarter.



Kazam has announced the launch of three new ranges of phones, among which stands out the first LTE phone manufacturer european phones, the 4.5L Thunder Kazam .

NOKIA'S LUMIA

Nokia's new Lumia hopes to stand out like an Icon

The latest Windows Phone flagship has an impressive 5-inch screen, the ups and audio quality with emphasis on imagery With An on video.


NEW YORK - Of all the hurdles facing new CEO Satya Nadella , Microsoft 's lack of standing in mobile is Perhaps the Most imposing . Windows Phone Remains a distant third in a smartphone operating system battle that's Been a two -team race Among Android and iOS .

There's a glimmer of hope . ACCORDING to fourth- quarter figures Reported by IDC , Windows Phone market share rose nearly 47 % year over year , the best result of any leading contender , though share That Remains mired in the low single digits . Most of the Increase can be Attributed to Nokia , que Microsoft is in the end stages of Acquiring .

What happens to the Nokia brand under Microsoft 's new leadership needs to play out . But the Finnish phone giant That keeps delivering fine phones deserve recognition .


Next in line is the Nokia Lumia Icon That I've been testing, Also known as the Lumia 929. This latest flagship - a Windows Phone exclusive to Verizon Wireless - is not the thinnest or lightest (at 5.86 ounces ) phone around , but it belongs in the high -rent district . The aluminum ring rimming this polycarbonate rectangular slab Helps give the phone a premium feel. It comes in black ( like my unit test ) or white . It arrives Thursday for $ 199 with a two- year agreement.

You can not help but be impressed with the sharp 5 -inch, Gorilla Glass- protected Full HD OLED display , que can be made ​​out in direct sunlight . You can turn on a setting That bolsters the screen 's touch sensitivity , meaning you can interact with it wearing gloves , an act of mercy , Given the deluge of snow here in the Northeast .

Measures up Icon , specs- wise . Inside is a snappy Qualcomm quad -core processor , 2 gigabytes of RAM and 32 GB of storage sealed - with an additional 7 GB of free online storage provided via Microsoft 's SkyDrive (soon to be called OneDrive ) .

CROWN THE CAMERA

Most Notably , Icon camera borrows features from its sibling the Nokia Lumia 1020 , que September the bar high for smartphone photography .

The new phone does not match the 41- megapixel sizzle of the 1020 - Icon is at 20 megapixels - but it does have Carl Zeiss optics and Takes outstanding pictures and videos. After you snap a picture , Nokia condenses the image to a size that's Easier to share , while retaining Also a higher-resolution image . Incidentally , the 5 - inch display is larger than Icon the 4.5 - inch display on the 1020.

In the recent past , Nokia justifiably bragged about the photographic muscle built into its phones . This go-round , there Seems to be a heavier emphasis on video. The device is meant to appeal to the kind of consumer who captures quick videos and posts them to a popular social -media outlet : such as Vine.

A very nice feature lets you shoot video and digital stills holding the phone with one hand , while zooming in or out by swiping up or down with a single finger . (The swipe -to -zoom feature works on selfies , too . ) Optical image stabilization Helps compensate_for_errors the unavoidable jitters with video .

You get a full complement of hand controls (white balance , exposure settings , etc. . ) Inside the Nokia Camera app . Confusingly , there 's a separate Windows camera app , as well . I was quite pleased with the quality of the pictures and Most Of Videos That I took . Not everything I shot Emerged fully in focus - You Might blame the shooter for that - but the vibrant colors Were true to life . After taking a picture, You have the opportunity to reframe the image with a different display size (4:3 , 3:2 , 16:9 , 1:1).

Nokia 's camera software is extremely versatile but a tad overwhelming at first . I was bothered by a slight lag as the camera Focuses before snapping an image , I had to beef With the 1020. Also there's a bit of a delay between the time you press a dedicated camera button and the time the camera app springs to life . Consider These mere quibbles .

GOOD SOUND , GROWING APPS

Nokia significant attention paid to audio. The phone has four microphones That help deliver distortion - free high -quality directional stereo sound , best heard with headphones . In one exercise, I shot video of another phone blaring music, then watched ( and listened to) the video on the Icon . The music Sounded good . Nokia could not do much to block out wind noise During a video I shot walking my dog ​​.

I'm Comfortable with the live tile -based Windows Phone interface , but not everyone will be Recognize . With Windows Phone 8 , you can now display three columns of tiles at once . Windows is progressing on the app front - the platform now has north of 200,000 apps, including some key titles That had Been Missing , : such as Instagram. That still leaves rivals way behind Windows Phone , however.

You do get the Microsoft Office app on Icon , and the good news Is that Nokia supplies its own strong collection of apps, including Maps Here , Here Drive ( turn- by-turn directions ) , Creative Studio ( photo editing ) Cinemagraph ( blends photo and animation) and Nokia MixRadio ( free streaming music) .

Another cool app , called Nokia Beamer , lets you share what 's on your phone screen on a bigger computer screen . To make it work , you go to beam.nokia.com using the browser on the computer you want to display Whose use . With the Icon 's camera , you scan the QR code beam.nokia.com That Appears on the site . From there, you're good to go .

With proper accessories , you can take advantage of wireless charging . I did not run on a formal battery test , but the phone held in the normal use its own , thanks to the hefty battery on board .

Icon is a solid device Easily That I can recommend to Windows Phones fans, Especially Those into photography . But I do not think Icon is enough of an iconic device to get the Android or iPhone devotee to convert to Windows.
