HTC One Series Hands-on

Had some hands-on review on the very anticipated – HTC One X and HTC One V.

Here are just some hands-on review from me. :)

HTC One X
HTC One X, a Quad-Core powerhouse that would gives your the extra power to do all your stuffs. Build with one piece polycarbonate unibody body, which gives you a feel of a solid phone but not sacrificing the weight! (and yes, it feels a lot better then its competitors)

The 8.0MP wide angle 28mm f2.0 camera with dedicated image processing chip, it’s certainly one of the best phone camera out there! It can do shooting at blazing fast 4FPS burst mode, and shoots both video and photos simultaneously. The latest Sense 4.0 UI on top of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich(ICS) looks just beautiful, and this could be the smoothest Sense UI ever!

Official Specs

HTC One X - Beats Audio

HTC One X - Thickness comparison

HTC One V
HTC One V, everybody is talking about about the HTC One X, but do remember that THIS PHONE would rock the budget segment.

Spotting a 1Ghz Snapdragon S3 processor, 5MP camera with dedicated imaging chip, this phone would run most of the Google Play Store apps without issue(Play Angry Birds NO LAG!).

This is a phone with a personality, with a chin – HTC One V.

DiGi Fandroid Day @ D’House

It’s FANDROID DAY! where all Android freaks gathered! (hem….. most of them)

Fandroid Event at D'House!

They prepared some small breakfast for us to fill our tummy, too bad about the out-of-order coffee machine’s’ (ya, all of them doesn’t work, NO MORNING COFFEE)

The Fandroid Day Attendees

It started with a small activity to wake everybody up!

Morning exercise? That’s too ‘mainstream’!

It's a Fruit Cutting day~

We CUT SOME FRUIT in the morning! Everybody is divided into 5 teams, and we need to cut fruits one by one by turns! Exciting morning rite?

Here's Team 2! HOORAH!

Team 1 WON! Reward? KitKat!

Too bad, we’re not the winners… Winners got a pack full of Kit Kat…. :(

So we go back to the STUDIO for some DG marketing stuffs…..

Forecast of Mobile Networking

They first shown us the rate of the rapid growth of mobile internet. NOW, people needs average around 15mb/day on their mobile to do their daily stuffs. And they forecast that by 2020, people would need MORE THEN 1GB/day. (like most forecast, this future might come earlier then we though)

So how DiGi is going to do to cater all this “sounds crazy” demands of the future?


DiGi talk about “The Tomorrow Network” Project, which is one of the BIGGEST and MOST AMBITIOUS network modernization project of DiGi. there would be:

  • 95.8% High-Speed Internet coverage for all Malaysian.
  • Extra capacity for every single base station.
  • Stronger, more stable, smartphone & tablet-ready.
  • Cleaner & Greener.
  • Tomorrow-ready as the FIRST LTE 4G network in Malaysia!

The project already started last December, and would be finish around end of 2012

Great isn’t it? Hope to feel the improvements at my area ASAP. :)

Next, they invited a guest speaker from Google Malaysia – James Yeang (aka Friedbeef)

James shown us some Android growth statistics, and continue with some Android features on the latest Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich. Talks about some cool Google Apps like Google Goggles, Google Map (panoramic, indoor), Google Docs, and more.

So now Samsung talks about Galaxy Nexus. Running Android 4.0, aka IceCream Sandwich(ICS), out of the box, it’s a phone developed by a partnership between Google and Samsung as the 3rd generation successor to Google’s previous flagship phones Nexus One and Nexus S.

So why am I posting this?
Oh, DiGi will be holding a Fandroid Day workshop at 3rd of March, the workshop would talking about the latest Google Android version 4.0, codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich, and there would be brief on the latest DiGi line up of Android phones, and the recent DiGi’s network modernization project (Coverage expand and Malaysia first LTE 4G network). How could I miss it? ;)

In order for me to get the invites, they would like to know which Android phone I’m interest in DiGi Store Online.

My choice would be:

Samsung GALAXY Nexus

Tech Specs:
4.65″ HD(1280 x 720-pixels) Super AMOLED screen
Dual-core 1.2 GHz processor
1 GB of RAM
16 or 32 GB of internal memory

Samsung GALAXY Nexus is a touchscreen Android smartphone developed by a partnership between Google and Samsung. It’s the 3rd generation successor to Google’s previous flagship phones Nexus One and Nexus S. It will enjoy the the privileged access to the latest updates and services directly from Google.

To fully enjoy what Android gives, you’ll need a DATA PLAN. And it would be better, if it’s an UNLIMITED one. So here comes the:

DiGi Fandroid
DG SMARTPLAN
With DG SMARTPLAN 68, it will make my smartphone, BEYOND SMART.
I’ll have the freedom of 3GB bandwidth(capped speed after 3GB with no extra chages) to do all my online stuffs. I need not to worry about over-bandwidth charges (bill shock is just not smart).
