OPPO FIND 5 review

In a world where Samsung and Apple dominate the smartphone sphere, and multi-billion dollar companies like Sony, LG, and Motorola struggle to maintain single-digit market share, it's rather easy to convince yourself that real innovation and excellence costs lots of money. And, as an extension of that thought process, that there's little reason to look outside the current crop of popular phone makers.
But you'd be wrong.
Known mostly in the United States for its Blu-ray players (yes, really), Oppo is a Chinese electronics maker that is easily ignored. I hadn't even heard of their Blu-ray players until last week (and only because I looked them up on Wikipedia).
I knew Oppo for a phone it released last year - the Finder. At the time, it was quite impressive (on paper). But as often happens with phones from smaller manufacturers, I forgot about it almost as soon as I'd heard of it. Sadly, that's just kind of the way the rapidly-evolving smartphone industry works. If you aren't making waves on a quarterly basis, it's difficult to stay relevant.
The Find 5 is their newest phone, and while Oppo has aspirations of international availability, I doubt you'll be seeing too many of these outside of Asia. And, frankly, it's easy to see why - no LTE, no brand recognition, and no carrier distribution agreements (at least in the US). The Find 5 is also rather clearly designed first and foremost with the Chinese market in mind, and hey, that makes sense.
If anything, though, the Find 5 is yet another reason to pay attention to what's happening with smartphones in China, where they're not just displacing old Nokias, but laptops and computers in general.

Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie Rumored Release Date and Features

Anyone who follows Android is looking for the next version of our favorite mobile OS which in this case is going to be Key Lime Pie. The current rumor for official announcement of the Android 5.0 OS is May 15th at Google I/O. We could have all assumed this would be the case but we are actually seeing a little bit of buzz to verify (to an extent). Keep in mind that most of this is speculation and others thinking out loud but there will be some truth to most of it.

The first rumor that looks to be a positive feature of the new Android OS is the fact that it will have a Linux 3.8 kernel. Those of us that flash custom ROM’s on a regular basis understand that a stable kernel is one of if not the most important thing we need when flashing. The kernel is the brain and helps with faster and more stable multi-tasking, RAM usage and even battery drain. With Android’s integration of Project Butter into Jelly Bean we can assume this will improve it even more than its predecessor.

google android 5.0 key lime pieAnother feature that may or may not come to light or even be slightly true is Project RoadRunner. This is something that seems to come from the Motorola acquisition based on the awesome battery life of newer Motorola devices. This would if true increase our battery life substantially and remove the worse con of most Android devices, which is poor battery life.

One rumor that we assume is just that is Key Lime Pie only supporting devices with quad-core processors. There are too many devices that are running dual-core processors that are new that would be stuck on Jelly Bean indefinitely if this were the case. This being said there would be a huge number of ROM developers trying to remove the restriction almost right out of the box if it is the case. Challenges over restrictions are something that the Android community takes very serious and love to take on so it wouldn’t last long in our opinion.

Google Now is expected to reach its next level of development with upgrades allowing users to perform useful actions with voice like turning on and off WiFi or Bluetooth. Other enhancements that are rumored are changing screen brightness and improved voice recognition. Sorry to those of you that are looking to be able to have full on conversations with your phone like Siri does (kind of a pathetic use of technology don’t you think?).

Upgraded keyboard which seems to be the case with every new OS in some way is also rumored to be on the new 5.0 OS. Google Babel would be an all in one messaging system that will be announced during Google I/O regardless of the announcement of Key Lime Pie. Babel will also likely be available in some form close to its announcement either way.

A new Play Store is also rumored on the device but we look at a new version of the Play Store as a given since it seems to align with historical releases. The assumption is addition of personalized search, optional promotional campaigns, more billing options and easier in app purchasing.

Addition of “Customization Center” allowing us to customize our devices even more than before. The biggest thing that users should get out of the Customization Center is the ability to use the stock Android UI skin if you would like instead of the custom overlays all these phones get from manufacturers. Other customizations will be organized here as well like ringtones, wallpaper, and launchers.

We are hoping for an announcement of the Google Nexus 5 along side the release of Key Lime Pie although no official word has been given. If Google is going to release the Nexus 5 we can only assume they will package the new OS on it to stay ahead of the curve and do what Google does. While all of this is not likely true we can go ahead and make an educated guess that some of it is. Let us know what you’ve heard and what you think about the features listed here.

4G Phones Trends

The ideas showed in the article published in the Wall Street Journal on June 19, 2012, gave the idea to summarize the perspective 4g phones trends in 2012. The authors have stated the positions of Google and Apple as the main rivals at this moment. The idea is proved by recent sales data of these giants.

1) As for the WSJ data, the current share of Apple and Google on the global smartphone market is about 80 percent.

2) According to the statistics of 2012, about 490 million smartphones were sold of over 1.4 billion phones sold this year. The projected figure for smartphones for the next 5 years is about 1 billion.

If you see the trends of the decreased share of RIM or Nokia (see our more recent article about 4g phones trends published in January 2012), the increase in demand for smartphones is substantial.

3) The authors in the WSJ also think that Google’s measures on the market are underestimated by many other cell phone manufacturers. They say Google made 59 percent of smartphone shipments worldwide. That’s about 23 percentage point increase as compared with the previous year data.

The idea is that after acquisition of Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. for the sum of $12.5 billion, Google will certainly pay attention to hardware issues and promotion of Android gadgets.

4) As people who are familiar to the matter say that Google has accelerated plans to launch alternative solution to Siri, Apple’s virtual assistant, which gives the opportunity to search the info in another way than search box by Google.

5) Google is constantly improving not only services, but it also launches its own devices. E.g., a new inexpensive Android tablet is expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks.

As for our point of view about 4g phones trends in 2012, you cannot dismiss the Samsung’s increased share on the smartphone market, especially with its recent flagship phones – Galaxy Note, Galaxy S2 or Galaxy S3. Samsung should be considered as one of the most powerful rivals to Apple and Google.
