Rumor Has It HTC Droid Incredible X is Nexus 5

It’s time to discuss a rumor regarding the next Nexus smartphone. Overall, it’s nothing than a speculation but there are a few things to note.

As you know, HTC’s next Android line smartphone called the Droid Incredible X has been leaked for a few times. You can ask what relation there can be between this device and the next Nexus smartphone but the whole buzz is around them — some sources think the Incredible X is the same Nexus 5.

The main reason people think so is the Incredible X’s 5-inch display. As the next Nexus will be the fifth smartphone of Google, it’s symbolic to launch it with such a screen. Moreover, the previous model was packed with a 4.65-inch screen and considering the fact the displays of Nexus handsets grow in size, then it’s quite possible this rumor will prove correct.

Besides a 5-inch touchscreen, the HTC Droid Incredible X is said to come with a Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, a 12 MP rear camera, a 2 MP front-facing camera, 64 GB of internal storage, and if it is the Nexus 5, then it will run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean or higher.

Android Sales Well Everywhere Except for US

Unless Microsoft has launched Android killer platform, Windows Phone 8, Google’s mobile operating system will remain the most popular one in the market. But if it continues growing in many markets, the same thing cannot be said about the US where Android’s share slipped by 4.5%, according to latest data by analysts from Kantar WorldPanel ComTech.

Though the survey shows Android smartphones sell well everywhere except for the US, pay your attention to another interesting fact — it turns out every third Android handset sold recently sports a screen larger than 4.5 inches. This result surprised Kantar, and they decided to find out what devices with larger screens are used for.

Almost 65% of users that own smartphones with larger screens watch videos on their handsets, while only the fifth of smartphone users with devices with screens smaller than 3 inches watch videos.

In this sense, the next iPhone, which has always been the main Android rival, will come with a 4-inch display, and it will probably have no chance. But on the other hand, Apple’s shares have grown in the US by 9%. Thus, US consumers give preferences to other features, while Europeans want Android and large screens.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and 7 Announced

After the successful sales of the original Amazon Kindle Fire the company has decided to come up with worthier devices and its invitations for an event taking place on September 6 were a direct hint at a new Kindle Fire. Fortunately, our expectations were not vain as the manufacturer launched a new slate with amazing features enabling it to fight  against such monsters as the Xperia Tablet S, Nexus 7 and other Android based tablets are.

Amazon called its tablet the Kindle Fire HD, which will be launched with two displays at 7-inch and 8.9-inch. Both of them will have a resolution of 1920×1200 pixels, thus, 254ppi pixel density. As the name suggests, the Kindle Fire HD’s screen utilizes In-Plane Switching and an “Advanced True Wide Polarizing Filter” that Amazon claims will give you true color reproduction from all angles.

The next selling point of the tablet is the Texas Instruments OMAP 4470 processor, which is identical with the Tegra 3. Plus, there is also Dolby Digital Plus support, which will be exclusive to the Fire HD.

Other than that, there is a novelty more interesting for users. I am talking about the connectivity, which has become one of the most important features consumers look at when buying a handset. In this sense, the Kindle Fire HD has no problem as it is packed with dual Wi-Fi antennas and MEMO. The latter is a computational system to improve Wi-Fi signal areas that see lots of reflections. It calculates out the reflections from the main signal and then adds them back in to replace gaps in the data stream. Its the first time a tablet incorporates MEMO processing. It runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

The 7-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HD is said to be shipped on September 14. Pre-orders are already available. The 16GB model of 7-inch Kindle Fire HD is priced at $199, while the 8.9-inch version costs $299 and will be shipped on November 20. The 32GB 8.9-inch model is available for pre-order at $499. No data plan is said to be attached to the tablet.
