Motorola’s managing to keep Motorola RAZR owners happy, at least, with the company launching a general software update for all versions of the Android phone bought across Europe. There isn’t a huge number of new features, but there is at least the promise of “general improvements” to the camera app, a new motion rule within Motorola’s excellent Smart Actions feature, plus a few other tweaks.
And Evernote’s now pre-loaded, which is a strange thing to do on a phone that’s already out there. Here are the highlights of Motorola’s changelog of what’s new in this 651.73.30 software update:
New Evernote application – Save your ideas, things you like, things you hear, and things you see.
Camera – General improvements to camera performance
New Smart Rule Trigger – ‘Motion Detection’
Security features – Added new security features in the Google™ Android™ release
Phone stability – Improvements on call performance and Bluetooth® connectivity
Localisation improvements
Wi-Fi performance and stability General improvements to Wi-Fi connectivity
We do miss the old beast. Had a lot of fun playing with it. Looks like Motorola’s finally come up with a good internal system for pushing out updates rapidly, too.
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?
