Blackberry Z10 vs iPhone 5: Early Comparison Doesn’t Conclude

TelekomPresse, a German site, was able to get their hands on the new BlackBerry 10 operating system which is supposed to be unveiled by RIM on the 30th of January. According to the site, the handset is supposedly called the BlackBerry Z10. Apparently, they say the new smartphone looks so much like the famous iPhone 5 which made some people take a second look at the new RIM handset.

iphone 5 vs blackberry 10 Blackberry Z10 vs iPhone 5: Early Comparison Doesnt Conclude

When putting the phones beside each other, you can easily notice the resemblance of the touchscreen (minus the Apple home button) as well as the bezel. On the other hand, the iPhone 5 only has a 4-inch display while the Z10 has a slightly bigger screen at 4.2-inch. Placement of the power button also differs since the iPhone has its button on the top-right side while the Z10’s power button is found at the center-top side. Other buttons and connections are the same on both phones but are only placed on different sides.

The systems are also alike in terms of voice-control functionality but the BlackBerry Z10 has faster speeds. In other categories, some users claim that Z10 is better than the iPhone 5.

Since the official unveiling of the phone is still a few days off, we can still give you rumours about other specifications of the BB Z10. This includes a 1.5GHz dual-core processor partnered with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. There is also an option of a 32GB storage. The Z10 also has two cameras, one 2MP in front and one 8MP at the back.

 

Google Nexus 7 vs. Asus MeMO Pad: Specs Comparison

In 2011, with the introduction of the Nexus 7, Google and Asus have eased up some scope to other manufacturers to come up with more low-cost solid Android tablets. The Asus MeMO Pad, which was unveiled just a few hours ago, comes as a part of the Android tablet family to put a scratch in their sales numbers. There have been some more Android tablets with solid budget specs, like the recently launched (at CES 2013) Acer Iconia B1-A71. But, we’ve decided to pit the Nexus 7 against Asus’s latest offering, MeMO Pad.

It can’t be really difficulty to choose between Nexus 7 and MemMO Pad tablets. The new MeMO Pad doesn’t come with powerful hardware like the Nexus 7, but it at least bring Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS powered Android tablet for a reasonable price. Both tablets come heavily entrenched in a rich content ecosystem. If we dig deeper in sales number, the Nexus 7 is easily wiping the competition in Android tablets market right now.

Nexus 7 comes with a powerful quad-core Tegra 3 processor running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS out of the box, while the MeMO Pad packs a less powerful VIA WM8950 processor clocked at 1GHz (working in tandem with more than enough 1GB of RAM and Mali-400 GPU), and it is currently listed as running Android 4.1, which is a bit old for latest Android offerings. Fortunately, MeMO Pad in coming with microSD card slot, which is something missing in Nexus 7. So, you will be able to add more memory, if they feel 8GB/16GB that’s on board out of the box isn’t quite enough. Let’s see how it stacks up against Nexus 7.

GTA V Trailer 2 vs Trailer 1: Detailed Comparison and Easter Eggs

Just moments ago, Rockstar made the gamingsphere stop for a moment; after revealing GTA V’s second trailer. Naturally, a lot of details have been spilled along with few easter eggs to analyzed.

But first, let’s compare the two trailers shall we?

GTA V No. 1 & No. 2 Trailer Comparison

On the technical side, the first trailer was 1:25 in length while the new one lasted for 1:51 minutes (that’s 20 more seconds of action)

Trailer 1 was fully narrated by Michael while #2 was a collation of events and voices acted by the three protagonists along with new characters that we’ll reveal shortly.

Trailer 1 is a bit more conservative when it comes to the idea on how the game will pan out; Meanwhile, #2 is more enlightening in a sense that you can already see the personality of each of the protagonists along with the type of missions / quest you’ll take. The vehicles were also emphasized along with new destructible objects.

Likewise, watching both trailers gives you a feeling like you’re being on the first scene of the movie Goodfellas where Ray Liotta was narrating all the brutal things happening to gangsters, but the whole tempo isn’t really serious and kinda comical actually. Yeah, you can insert this picture below.

One of the highlighted scene was bank robbery which is connected with Trailer 1 wherein you can see Mike wearing a red jumper suit that says “Call 1-999-Bugstar” probably a decoy for the bank heist. This also shows Michael will get his hands dirty again. There’s also a lot of little scenes where Trevor brutally assaults his victims and that train explosion – perhaps it would be the things we should anticipate when we play him as the protagonist.

And… expect comedy inside the game ala Rockstar style.

Our Thoughts

Hopefully, this game won’t be delayed because from the looks of it, not only this title a GOTY-material already but we’re expecting V to revolutionize how open-world sandbox titles perform on multiplayer; like what GTA 3 did to single-player.
