HERE IS MY UPDATED GAMING SMARTPHONE:
Last time I made it a beast that boasted many features. This time I've picked and pruned some to make it a somewhat simpler yet relevant (to upcoming) device.
Changes:
- Got rid of the second microphone that was used for noise cancellation (this feature doesn't work well on most devices, eg Nexus One, so it was okay to be nicked)
- Got rid of the super sweet retro volume wheel (reminiscent of the gameboy age, where it would click at the end to close -- too complicated for todays smartphones; it got nicked)
- Got rid of the IrDA on the top of the device, so it no longer can be used as a universal infrared remote, but I thought that idea was a little impractical due to space restrictions on the device
- Got rid of the camera lens... its a moving object which could scratch/become faulty, so now the lens protrudes a little but protected by metal ring (htc 7 mozart).
- The device used to open to the left side, now it opens to the right, so the L1+L2 shoulder pads could act as volume rocker (since we removed the volume wheel)
- The lanyard hole needed to be moved, now situated for the left side/wrist (can't make it right handed without botching something up)
- Removed the dual mini speakers (on gamepad) and instead made 2 beefy speakers that surround the screen (louder and better experience)
- Added the standard android buttons (back,home,menu) on bottom left (for right handed people) making it a better experience
- Updated the dimensions; display shrunk from 5.2->4.8", slightly longer but thinner (realistically) but still pocketable, slightly lighter (compare this to n900/milestone/atrix)
- Now it includes dual camera's stretched 8cm away from each other (for 3D)
- Because of the new arrangement of the camera's, the back aluminium case just rips off like the samsung vibrant/galaxy s i9000 (which is less stylish but more practical)
- Camera has been beefed up a little; 8MP, 2D 1080p 30fps, 3D 720p 30fps ... and the front facing is now 2MP (not vga)
- Other specs have been altered: (realistically) larger battery, 4g (lte/wimax/utms 850mhz) inclusion, better display (qHD + GalaxyS2 screen type), based on a real processor (TI)
- I thought about a 3D display, but it would be pointless with a shutter glasses, impossible with passive glasses (tech not developed for mobile)
- Only possible is parallax display, but I used the 3DS over the weekend and the experience was "meh" for the majority --- so its unnecessary to place the cost and tech into this gaming phone
