Shopping for a new smartphone? If so, you’ve got some pretty impressive-looking Android phones to choose from, including the gorgeous, 4.8-inch Samsung Galaxy S3 and the upcoming HTC Evo 4G LTE. But here’s the thing: there’s also a new iPhone—potentially with a bigger screen—waiting in the wings.
This week on the gadgetcast, we dive into the dilemma that many smartphone shoppers are facing: Go with Android now, or wait for the new iPhone.
When will the next iPhone land in stores, and will itreally have a larger, Android-sized screen? And how about support for speedy 4G data networks?

Can’t be bothered to tap in a passcode to unlock your sleeping smartphone? The Samsung Galaxy Nexus, one of the latest and greatest new Android phones, boasts a novel solution: a camera that unlocks your handset the instant it recognizes your face.
The new “Face Unlock” feature on the $299 Galaxy Nexus will be coming to other Android phones too (or the more recent Android phones, anyway) thanks to “Ice Cream Sandwich,”a.k.a. Version 4.0 of Google’s mobile Android operating system.
The idea behind Face Unlock is simple: the phone’s camera scans your face for a few seconds, then compares it to a series of previously saved snapshots of the proper owner’s face. If it gets a match, then presto! You’re zipped to the home page, no PIN required.
The Face Unlock feature on the Galaxy Nexus takes a photo of your face, then tries to match it with a snapshot of the phone's rightful owner.
It’s a nifty trick, but it’s not quite foolproof. Before setting up the feature on the Galaxy Nexus I’m testing, the phone warned me that Face Unlock isn’t nearly as secure as using a numeric passcode—and indeed, there’s always the possibility of a false match if someone who looks “similar” to you sneaks a peek at your handset. In other words, don’t protect your phone with Face Unlock if you’ve stored military secrets on it.
So, ready to use your face to unlock the Galaxy Nexus? Here’s how you do it.
Go to the Settings menu and tap Security, Screen Lock.
Tap the Face Unlock option to see the litany of notes and caveats about the feature (including the assurance that your stored profile picture will be “kept private” on your handset). Ready to continue? Tap “Set it up.”
Next, you should see … well, yourself. Hold the phone until your face fits in the dotted outline; once the camera thinks it has a good shot of your face, it’ll snap a photo automatically. (For the best results, Google advises taking a Face Unlock photo indoors, where it’s not “too bright or too dim.”) Once you’ve made it to the “Face Captured” page, tap “Continue.”
So, what happens if your Android phone can’t identify you through Face Unlock? Well, you’ll need a backup PIN or a security “pattern” to trace on the phone’s touchscreen, which you’ll be asked to set up once you’re done snapping photos of your face.
That’s it! Now, time to test. Lock the Galaxy Nexus, then press the “sleep/wake” button and hold the handset right in front of your face; the phone should unlock itself within seconds of ‘seeing” you.
Bonus tip: Take multiple Face Unlock photos of yourself in different conditions—say, with your glasses on and off, or both outdoors and indoors—to give the phone a better chance of identifying you correctly. Just go back to the Settings menu, tap Security, then select “Improve face matching.”
Stay tuned for a full review of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus later this week. Update: And here it is.
Note: Samsung and Verizon loaned me a Galaxy Nexus review unit, which I’ll be returning once I’m through testing it.
MissPhedora writes: Someone has gotten into my Facebook and deleted or changed my information (not good) and changed my password. I can not access it and it does not sent me a code (obviously they also changed my alternative email address). I want to lock my Facebook down or close it. How do I do that?
Hi MissPhedora—and sorry to hear about your Facebook troubles. The good news is that there is a way to get your stolen Facebook account back, even if the crooks have changed your password and the email addresses associated with your account.
The first step is to prove to Facebook that you are, in fact, you. Visit this page, where you’ll get three options: submitting a phone number or email address that is (or once was) associated with your Facebook account; entering your Facebook username; or entering your name and the name of one of your Facebook friends.
Once you’ve identified your compromised account, you’ll arrive at a page with a series of contact numbers and email addresses. If you still have control of any of the email address or phone numbers that are listed, check the appropriate box and click the “Reset Password” button.
If that doesn’t work, click the “No longer have access to these?” link, and Facebook will step you through the (often lengthy) process of confirming your identity.
In addition to answering standard security questions (“What was the name of a childhood pet?” and the like), you may also get the option of choosing three to five “trusted friends” who will receive special codes for reclaiming your account. To get the codes, you’ll have to call your pals on the phone—an added level of security to thwart hackers trying to worm their way into your account.
Some lucky Facebook users can even designate their “trusted friends” in advance by clicking the little arrow in the top-right corner of the page, selecting “Account Settings,” and clicking the “Edit” link in the “Trusted Friends” section.
Not all Facebook accounts have this feature enabled, though; mine doesn’t, for example. (Don’t ask me why.) That said, you can always add additional contact emails and phone numbers, or establish a security question; just click here to get started.
Hope this helps, MissPhedora, and best of luck getting your account back.
The first step in keeping your Facebook account safe and secure is one that also applies to any of your personal online accounts: creating a password that’s a little tougher to crack than “password.”
The tech gurus as Microsoft recommend creating a password that’s no less than eight characters, complete with letters, numbers, symbols and punctuation. You should also avoid using easy-to-guess words—like, say, your daughter’s first name, or the name of your beloved Labrador.
And not only should you use a unique passwords for all your online accounts, including Facebook, you should also change your passwords as often as you can stand.
And not only should you use a unique passwords for all your online accounts, including Facebook, you should also change your passwords as often as you can stand.
Not the easiest advice to follow, I know; indeed, I’d be lying if I told you I change my Facebook password once a week. But going with a password more complex than “myname99″ is, at the very least, a good start.
The good news is that you can browse Facebook over a “secure” web connection that’s far tougher (though not impossible) for hackers to crack. Here’s how to do it:
Click the downward arrow in the top-right corner of any Facebook page, then select Account Settings.
In the left column of the next page, click Secutiry, then click the “edit” link next to Secure Browsing.
Click the “Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possible)” checkbox.
Now, when you check your Facebook account, you’ll see “https://” (rather than plain-old “http://”) at the beginning of your web browser’s address bar, which means you’re browsing the web over a (mostly) secure connection.
3. Turn on login notifications
Even the strongest of strong passwords and “secure browsing” won’t stop a determined hacker from sneaking into your Facebook account, and that’s where this next security precaution comes in handy.
You can set Facebook to warn you whenever someone logs into your account from an “unrecognized” device—that is, something other than the laptop, phone, or desktop PC that you use for Facebook each day.
You can set Facebook to warn you whenever someone logs into your account from an “unrecognized” device—that is, something other than the laptop, phone, or desktop PC that you use for Facebook each day.
Here’s how:
Click the downward arrow in the top-right corner of any Facebook page, click Account Settings, then click Security in the left column.
Next, click the Edit link next to Login Notifications. Once you enable this setting, you’ll get a warning if someone tries to log into your Facebook account over a new device. All you have to do is choose how you’d like to be notified: via email or text message (provided you’veregistered your cell phone number with Facebook).
Finally, click the Save Changes button. You’re done.
From now on, you’ll be prompted to name any device you use to log into Facebook, and you’ll be able to track your “recognized” Facebook devices from the Security Settings page.
4. Turn on login approvals
While login notifications do a great job of warning you if someone’s trying to pry their way into your Facebook account, they won’t actually stop anyone from breaking in if they’ve managed to snag your Facebook password. That’s where login approvals come in.
Here’s how they work: whenever anyone—either you or someone else—tries to log into your Facebook account on an “unrecognized” device, they’ll have to enter a secret, one-use-only code that’s sent via SMS to your cell phone. No code, no entry.
It’s a clever way to keep ne’er-do-wells from trying to pry their way into your Facebook account; then again, it can backfire if you’re trying to log into Facebook from a new PC and you don’t have your cell phone, or if your cellular connection conks out.
Still want to try login approvals? Here’s how:
Once again, click the downward arrow in the top-right corner of a Facebook page, click Security in the left column, then click the “Edit” link next to Login Approvals.
Click the “Require me to enter a security code” checkbox, then follow the prompts.
Part of the setup process involves Facebook sending an initial security code to the cell phone number you’ve registered on your Facebook account (and yes, you’ll be prompted to register a wireless number if you haven’t done so already).
That’s it! Just make sure to keep your phone handy if you’re planning on logging into Facebook from a device you haven’t used before.
Change your mind about login approvals? If so, just go back to the Security Settings page (under Account Settings), click the Edit link next to Login Approvals, clear the checkbox, and click Save Changes.
You can check—and immediately log out of—any remote Facebook sessions that still happen to be open.
5. Sign out of any “remote” Facebook sessions
Ever worry that you signed in to Facebook on a friend’s computer or a PC in a conference room but forgot to sign out? I know the feeling. Luckly, it’s easy to log out of any so-called “remote” Facebook sessions, even when you’re sitting at home in front of your personal desktop.
Go to the Security Sessions: click the downward arrow in the top-right corner of any Facebook page, click Account Settings, then click Security in the left column.
Click the Edit link next to Active Sessions, then take a look at the list of your recent “sessions” that Facebook thinks are still active.
See any you don’t recognize—or, perhaps, one from a public PC that you do recognize? If so, click the “End Activity” link next to the session in immediately log out of it.
So, one of your closest friends just emailed, warning you that someone’s posting very, very bad things about you online. Whatever you do, though, don’t click that all-too-tempting link in the body of the message.
Why not, you ask? Because your pal probably didn’t send that email.
Chances are that your friend’s email account was hijacked by a hacker who’s now spamming everyone in your friend’s address book, hoping to fool at least some of them—maybe even you—into clicking a link that leads to one of the shadier corners of the web.
How can you tell the fake emails from the real ones? Well, that can be a bit tricky.
How can you tell the fake emails from the real ones? Well, that can be a bit tricky.
An especially enterprising hacker may go to great lengths to impersonate one of your friends or co-workers, all in the hopes that he’ll trick you into giving up a credit card number or a password.
Far more common, though, are the somewhat crude, easy-to-spot messages sent to a wide swath of people, typically with a clumsy (or non-existent) subject line and a single, arcane-looking link.
Let’s tick off six warning signs that the email you just got is from a friend’s hacked email account, starting with:
1. There’s nothing in the message except an odd-looking link
It’s mysterious and tempting, no doubt—and it’s also a favorite tactic of hackers trying to fool the most people with the least amount of effort. Do yourself a favor and steer clear.
2. There’s a string of random email addresses in the “To:” field
Puzzled that your friend sent a sketchy email message to you and six other people you don’t recognize?
Well, hackers usually divvy up the email addresses in their victims’ address books and send their spam messages to small chunks of them at a time—often in alphabetical order.
3. Your friend is suddenly pitching weight-loss pills or “enhancement” remedies
Did your buddy just send an email suggesting you slim down, find an exciting new career, discover the secret of personal enlightenment, or boost the size of your … ah, “organ,” shall we say?
Nope, your friend isn’t trying to drop a hint. Instead, you’re looking at some of the crudest, yet most effective spam pitches of all time. Toss these messages in your “Junk” folder, pronto.
4. Your friend warns that someone’s posting funny—or mean—things about you online
“Hello this user is posting very bad things about you,” writes your friend. Or another variant: “Someone just posted a funny picture of you.”
You know you want to click, right? (Full disclosure: I’ve almost fallen victim to this ploy myself.)
Well, don’t—that is, unless you want to end up on a porn site, an online pharmaceutical store, or worse.
5. Your friend needs you to wire money, ASAP
Troubling news: a neighborhood friend who’s travelling in Rome (hmm, she went on vacation without telling you?) had her purse—along with her ID, passport, credit cards, and traveler’s checks—stolen, and now she’s frantically emailing you for help. Could you do her a huge favor and wire her some cash?
Well, here’s the scoop: your friend probably isn’t on vacation, nor did anyone boost her purse. That said, someone likely has taken control of her email account in the hopes of tricking you out of a few hundred dollars.
6. A colleague needs your social security number, password, or credit card number
Bob from the office just emailed, and he’s got more details on the BlueStar account that you’ve both been slaving over. He also has an odd request: he needs your social security number, your date of birth, and at least one credit card number for a web form. Could you send ‘em right over?
Beware. Even though “Bob” seems to know specifics about the office, it’s possible you’re the target of a so-called “spear-phisher”—a hacker who’s managed to scrounge up some “inside” personal or professional information about you, and who’s using said info to impersonate someone you know.
Spear-phishing is a clever, tough-to-spot tactic that’s netted some high-profile victims, and there’s no sure-fire way to protect yourself.
But if a co-worder suddenly requests a key password or your Visa card number over email, think twice (or better yet, give her a call) before clicking “send.”
Bonus tips
Getting suspicious email messages from a friend? Make sure to contact him or her immediately and let ‘em know.
You may see some of these same tactics used on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites, so careful with spammy-looking direct messages and wall posts.
hi friends!today i think to give you a very important tip about a virus.this virus name is dns changer.this is malware.this virus can infect in network.it can jump in to your router and change your settings.(ex-default password.like this- usename: admin password: 1234)

Facebook boasts a sophisticated “facial-recognition” feature that’s capable of putting names to faces in any newly-uploaded photos. Amazing? Yes—but also a tad creepy.
The so-called “Tag Suggestions” feature (which was launched back in June 2011) won’t automatically tag you in a friend’s photo, but it may suggest your name as a tag to your snap-happy Facebook pals.
Don’t like that idea? Tweaking a key privacy setting will keep Facebook from ever suggesting your name as a tag in someone else’s snapshot.(...)
How to protect your Windows PC from viruses, for free
You know the web is rife with viruses, Trojans, and other nasty bits of malware, but for whatever reason, you’ve yet to install virus protection on your PC. (Hey, I’ve been there.)
Well, here’s the thing: sticking our heads in the sand and hoping for the best isn’t an effective deterrent to the latest viruses and spyware.
Well, here’s the thing: sticking our heads in the sand and hoping for the best isn’t an effective deterrent to the latest viruses and spyware.
The good news is that with a few clicks, you can have virus protection up and running on your Windows system in about five minutes—and it won’t cost you a dime.
Microsoft’s free Security Essentials package has, naturally enough, drawn fire from for-pay competitors like Symantec (maker of Norton Antivirus) and Trend Micro (Online Guardian) for its “basic” and “average” virus protection, while some recent reviews have faulted the software for being “a bit light in the toolbelt.”
Well, maybe so. But for those of us who aren’t security experts but want a solid, low-maintenance shield against viruses and other malware, Security Essentials remains a fast, easy way to buttress your PC’s defenses—and at the very least, it’s better than nothing.
Visit Microsoft’s Security Essentals website to download the software, which works on PCs with Windows XP or better installed. (If your bought your Windows desktop or laptop within the last decade, you should be fine.)
Once installed, the Security Essentials control panel will appear, complete with tabs for updating your antivirus definitions (a continually updated database of the latest online threats) and running quick or full sweeps of your PC’s hard drive.
You can set Microsoft Security Essentials to automatically scan your system on a weekly basis.
Your first step should be to perform a full system scan. Click the Home tab, then select “Full” under “Scan options,” and click the big “Scan now” button. A full virus scan of your PC could take awhile—maybe an hour or more—but at least you’ll be able to do other things while Security Essentials scours your hard drive.
After you’ve completed your first scan, go ahead and click “Quick” under “Scan options” for your future scans, then click the Settings tab to set a schedule for regular virus checks.
Last but not least, keep an eye on the security icon in your system tray (located in the lower-right corner of the screen). If the little fortress icon with the flag on top is green, you’re good; if not, right-click it to perform any necessary updates.

Check out our list of the latest mobile phones around
In the ever-changing mobile market, it can be hard to keep pace with the latest mobile phones. That's why we've put together this hub for our latest mobile phone reviews: to give you the ideal jumping-on point for choosing the best handset for you out of the most current models around.
We cover a plethora of brands, including Apple, HTC, Nokia, Palm and Blackberry, and operating systems, such as Android, iOS and Windows Phone 7, so you should find something that piques your interest here.
In short, if you're seeking a new mobile phone, this is a great place to start.
HTC Wildfire S
The first Wildfire from HTC spread almost like its moniker, so popular did its blend of HTC Sense, durable form factor and affordable pricing prove. Now that it's burnt out, however, it needs a successor to carry the torch. Rising from the ashes is the Wildfire S.
The handset carries on the legacy well enough, with an impressively solid chassis, great social features and responsive touchscreen. The market's changed since the first Wildfire blazed its trail into history, though. With dual-core 'superphones' to contend with, it's hard to consider a 600Mhz processor hot stuff.
And while HTC's Sense interface proves as compelling as ever, the lack of grunt means missing out on Flash support for iPlayer and the like.
All that wouldn't matter if the Wildfire S only required liberating a token sum from your account, but you'll need a fair few sheets burning a hole in your pocket (around £220 SIM-free, or £15 a month) to lay claim to this little fella.
In the highly competitive market of 2011, that makes the Wildfire S a tricky proposition. Beginners will be well-served by the Wildfire S's rounded package, but you can certainly get a lot more for not much extra cash.

Samsung Galaxy S2
It's rare that a direct sequel to something awesome – be it film, game or hardware – is anything other than a disappointment when it comes to a new phone.
Rarer still is when the second instalment surpasses the original. We can think of just a scant handful of cases off the top of our heads: The Empire Strikes Back, Terminator 2 and Left 4 Dead 2.
Well, add the Galaxy S2 to that list, because this phone is awesome.
Thin, light and with an amazingly clear 4.3-inch Super AMOLED plus screen behind its toughened Gorilla Glass front panel, this is one handset you won't be pocketing in shame when your mates pass by.
In fact, we suspect you'll be evangelising about it to anyone who'll listen. That's because the dual-core processor within its tiny shell isn't just a marketing bullet point, but rather powers an experience that we're nothing short of effervescent about. For instance, web browsing is blisteringly fast and the Galaxy S2's Flash support is second to none.
We're thrilled to say that the plus points are just too numerous to do justice of here. Check out the full review to find out why this is one of the best smartphones we're likely to see in 2011.
If you're aged 14-21 and are after a fun mobile rather than a black slab of raw processing power, we reckon you'll find it hard not to like (or +1, if you prefer) the new 'Facebook phone'.
As the nickname suggests, Mark Zuckerberg's blue-hued brand of social media is at the heart of the experience – HTC even going as far as to give the site its own dedicated button beneath the ChaCha's decent QWERTY keyboard.
Break through the wall of modified HTC Sense and you'll note that Android Gingerbread is powering the experience, which should be welcome for the tech-savvy target audience. Less warmly received will be the Flash integration, which is a bit iffy to say the least.
With a funny shape and small screen to boot, you're really going to have to want the ChaCha's style of social oh la la to buy into this. Still, if you do, then this is something to post home about.

HTC Sensation XE
This phone is so brand spanking new that it was announced just a day before we first held it in our palms. It adheres to the sensational HTC Sensation's template, but with the addition of ear-pleasing Beats Audio processing and a few spec upgrades.
You needn't be an audiophile to enjoy the new profile, but you will need a set of Beats Audio headphones.
Thankfully, a pair come with the device. In our tests so far, we've noticed a real difference, with the tinny edge of HTC's sound enhancer diminished, the crispness of sounds augmented and the only potential grounds for minor quibbles being the ear canal-shaking levels of bass.
The good news continues elsewhere, with a 1730mAh battery that should have more staying power than the original Sensation, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor to keep the experience smooth and an eye-pleasing design.
Treat your senses and check out the full review when it lands.
HTC Sensation XE review
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Could Sony Ericsson finally be about to deliver on the promise of, well, every smartphone it's ever made that wasn't quite good enough? Maybe it was stupid to hope, but we did anyway with this new mobile phone.
An attractive design with a curved back that's just 8.7mm thick in the middle? Check. Impressive new Exmor camera technology? Check. Good spec list, including HDMI output? Check. Superb video player? Check.
The hardware is extremely impressive, both in terms of looks and performance. Forget the fashionable dual-core phones – when done right, a single-core 1GHz processor can do it all, although busy, dynamic websites will cause the phone to chug a little.
As it is, we're prepared to overlook the Xperia Arc's few minor flaws (small buttons, odd text entry) thanks to its stunning good looks, superb screen and very decent photo performance. You can't help but love it once you've held its magically thin body and gazed adoringly into its dazzling Reality Display.

HTC Desire S
Though the HTC Desire's technology is now being surpassed, it's aged beautifully thanks to some timely price drops. However, all things must come to an end (or at least be supplanted by something new). The HTC Desire S has arrived to take over from its predecessor in the Android race.
In many ways, it's quite similar. We'll still be looking at a 3.7-inch 480 x 800 screen, Android overlaid with HTC's Sense UI and a 1GHz processor. However, HTC hasn't totally rested on its laurels with its new mobile phones.
The design and build of the handset is excellent, save for a slight Wi-Fi cutting-out issue. The camera is good quality, producing serviceable still and HD video that would be quite good if it weren't for a small stuttering issue.
Call quality was excellent, with voices coming through crisp and clear, and it's a shame how little we get to say that about handsets these days.
The browsing experience was generally strong, with the speed that web pages load still impressing us, and Flash is taking yet more steps forward in its 10.2 guise. It was still finicky at times, but when it did work, it was fairly smooth, which is more than we could say for many Flash 10.1 single-core phones.
However, the reason the Desire has kept up with everything that's come after is because it was so far ahead in the first place. The Desire S isn't. It's a great phone, and one we would wholeheartedly recommend in a vacuum.
The HTC Desire led the revolution, but the Desire S could be just another member of the rabble.

BlackBerry Bold 9900
While RIM has a great reputation for push email and corporate handsets, it's not known for being an innovator. For this reason, the Blackberry Bold 9900 is an intriguing proposition, packing some higher-end tech into a rather attractive shell.
The capacitive (and high resolution) touchscreen screen is a particular marvel, but the inclusion of a near-field communications chip and the brand new OS 7 show that the Bold 9900 was made to break new ground for RIM.
The result is impressive, but only if you're happy to operate within the boundaries of BlackBerry's traditional strengths. Those looking for an outstanding web browsing or media experience will still find themselves disappointed. Still, head over to the review to find out more about what our review dubbed the best BlackBerry to date.
The HTC Sensation is meant to be the new alpha smartphone from the Taiwanese firm, and it certainly lives up to expectations.
With a 1.2GHz dual core processor from Qualcomm and a whopping 4.3-inch high-res qHD screen, this is the phone with best specs yet from HTC, plus it's the first smartphone with the new HTC Watch movie download service.
Is it better than the Samsung Galaxy S2? We think it's just a shade behind thanks to a slightly larger chassis and less advanced screen technology, but that's going to be a debate that rumbles on and on.

HTC Incredible S
Incredible by name and only slightly less so by nature, this phone is HTC's entry into the underpopulated 4-inch touchscreen arena. In fact, it's among the first UK handsets to fill that niche, but more are on the horizon.
It's blessed with HTC's slick Sense UI and a high-quality screen, but is this latest mobile phone's foibles enough to warrant waiting for its incoming competitors, or the HTC Desire S?

Samsung Galaxy Ace
With a middle-of-the-range spec, 800MHz processor and iPhone-aping looks, it may be hard to see why it's worth buying into the new Galaxy Ace. However, its Android 2.2 (Froyo) OS makes a considerable difference and is, in fact, this phone's ace (yes! We said it) in the hole.
It won't cost you the Earth either, so look deeper and you may find just what you were looking for.
This update of the Torch 9800, the first touchscreen-equipped BlackBerry, is mighty similar to its predecessor at first glance. But fire up the 3.2-inch touchscreen and you'll start to notice the difference, with a VGA 640 x 480 resolution making the whole experience far crisper.
The processor is fast, the battery life is good, and contacts and messaging are fantastic, but we do have a few gripes. This, folks, is an incremental upgrade and one that struggles to find its niche in BlackBerry's pantheon.
There are RIM handsets that are more focused on the demographics that this phone lightly touches, and those who already own a Torch 9800 may well be still locked into a contract, so there'll be little chance to upgrade.
It's by no means a bad handset, though, so it's well worth a look alongside phones such as the Bold 9900 or Curve as a point of comparison.
It's big, it's weighty and it's pretty darn expensive, but that pair of characters tacked on the end of the LG Optimus 3D's name might justify all that and more for you. For this, ladies and gents, is a technological milestone: the first 'glasses-free' 3D phone.
The good news is that the effect works brilliantly and that all-important screen is complemented by some great Android customisations on the software side.
Web performance is stellar too.The bad news is that even for a dual-core, the Optimus 3D can feel sluggish, the battery life is poor and – oddly for a phone sold on the back of cutting-edge tech – it's 'only' running Android 2.2.
If you're undecided about joining the 3D revolution, then head on over to the review to find out more.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini
Mini by name and by nature, this is a refresh of the concept behind Sony Ericsson's X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro, the pint-sized and ultraportable handsets launched in mid-2010.
It packs a new 1GHz processor, and a bigger 3-inch screen with the Bravia Engine Reality Display tech used in the Xperia Arc (read: you get a 320x480 resolution touchscreen that's a bit brighter at times).
The user interface has received an overhaul too, so on paper the new Xperia Mini looks like a big leap forward for the tiny form factor.
And so it proves to be, offering a very usable – dare we say, pretty – interface that makes the small screen totally workable. Social media integration is great too.
The story's not perfect, though, with less-than-brilliant video codec support and a weak camera offering. The titchy screen won't suit gamers either, but those after a great little phone that won't keep their hands full with glitches and faffing about could be in for a treat.
Not sure whether to spring for an iPhone or go the Android way? Well, there’s more to the decision than just flipping a coin.
