The beta version of Android RealPlayer has been substantially upgraded, now offering a vast range of improvements over the initial release. It looks different. It has a widget. It works in landscape mode if you happen to swing that way.
But let’s stop listing things from the changelog and simply copy & paste the entire changelog:
- A redesigned home screen
– A widget allowing playback from the home screen
– Enhanced graphics
– A feature for videos and song removal
– An improved way to select directories for music, videos and photos
– Landscape mode for music playback
– Music playback by directory folder
– A quick way to hide video status bar
– A selection for video aspect ratio
– Removal of the roulette wheel
– Support for music playlists playback

And that’s it, pictured LIVE at 10.13am today. Read the full list of changes over on the RealPlayer blog. It’s still called “RealPlayer Beta” in the Android Market, if you want to give it a spin.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
