A powerful processor,high-definition screen and a powerful camera are equally important. If they were not,Motorola would have easily become the market leader in the last six monthsprASid BAnerjeehen the Android operatingsystem was introduced,it was meant to provideadvanced functionality with cheaperphones. But no manufacturer, exceptMotorola, seems to have paid heedto this. With the KitKat (Android 4.4)update, now Google promises a lot,including the fact that KitKat wouldwork well in any phone with 512MBor more RAM. It means you should beable to buy a cheaper phone with thelatest OS (cue Moto E).So, when it comes to buying a Kit-Kat phone, it really is a matter of valuefor money. In other words, the bestKitKat phone for you should dependon the money you are willing to spend.The KitKat OS may work well even incheaper phones, but a faster proces-sor and other features could make thephone much better.WHigh-end smartphonesFlagships like the HTC One (M8), SonyXperia Z2, LG Google Nexus 5 and themarket leader (in terms of units sold)Samsung Galaxy S5 cost at a hefty sumof`45,000 or more (with the exceptionof Nexus 5). But to see their value formoney, you have to take their featuresinto consideration.Almost all the phones in this rangehave heavily layered versions of theOS. HTC gives you its Sense user in-terface (UI), which in our opinion is thebest OEM-provided UI in the market.Samsung offers Touchwiz, and thenthere are others.But if it’s the pure Android experi-ence you want, you should be look-ing at only Nexus 5, which sports afull-HD 12.6cm (4.95-inch) screen. Inaddition, it has a powerful 2.3GHzQualcomm Snapdragon 800 proces-sor and the pure un-layered versionof the KitKat OS. This was the phonethat Google had launched with KitKatand till date it remains one of the bestKitKat devices to buy. It is also avail-able at a very affordable price (for thisrange of smartphones) of`33,000.The down side with Nexus 5though is that, with Google’s AndroidSilver project, this phone is rumouredto have gone out of production. Be-sides, Nexus 5 lacks a high-end cam-era. While KitKat makes it attractive,its 8-megapixel camera would not beAndroid KitKAt SmArtphoneS to chooSe fromhtc one (m8)Samsung Galaxy S5Sony Xperia Z2moto Gmoto eprice:`49,900hhhhCamera: 4-UltrapixelOS: Sense UI on Android 4.4.2Display: Full HDProcessor: 2.3GHz Qual-comm Snapdragon 801price:`51,500hCamera: 16-megapixelhOS: Touchwiz on Android 4.4.2hDisplay: Super AMOLED, 16million colourshProcessor: Exynos 6octa-coreprice:`49,990hCamera: 20.7-megapixel with4k videohOS: Android 4.4.2hDisplay: Full HD Triluminous displayhProcessor: 2.5GHz QualcommSnapdragon 801hhhhprice:`13,999Camera: 5-megapixelOS: Pure Android 4.4.2Display: 720-pixel HD displayProcessor: 1.2GHz Qual-comm Snapdragon 400hhhhprice:`6999Camera: 5-megapixelOS: Pure Android 4.4.2Display: qHD displayProcessor: 1.2GHz Qual-comm Snapdragon 20012July 2014 | ElEctronics For youwww.EFymag.com [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
