Nokia Lumia 1020

Nokia Lumia 1020 hands-on: First look

The Nokia 808 PureView finally has a worthy successor - the Nokia Lumia 1020 is the culmination of Nokia's continuous efforts to redefine smartphone photography. The company was the first to launch a massive 41MP image sensor, do optical stabilization in a phone and use high-dynamic range mics and the Lumia 1020 has it all under one roof.
Let's go back in time. The Finns put proper zoom on a camera in the distant 2006 - the old N93 had 3x optical zoom. Years later the 808 PureView came around and did 3x lossless zoom without the complex optics. It did this with its huge (for a phone) 1/1.2" sensor. It also brought high-quality stereo sound capture by adding HAAC mics.

Those crusty Symbians gave way to the Windows Phone 8-powered Lumia 920, which was the first phone with optical image stabilization. The OIS offers huge advantages for low-light photography, but the sensor was small and of relatively low 8.7MP resolution. There was no xenon flash either.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 makes them all proud - it has the big sensor (even if, at 1/1.5", it's slightly smaller than the one inside the 808 PureView) the OIS and a proper flash, all garnished with a modern-looking smartphone OS.

Fujitsu Lifebook 2013 concept

 Fujitsu Lifebook 2013 concept

Fujitsu Lifebook 2013 concept is a combination of phone, music player and tablet.

Considering that most users own different devices to fulfill various computing and entertainment needs, designer Prashant Chandra has developed the Fujitsu Lifebook 2013 concept that should reduce the number of gadgets one carries on a daily basis. The laptop features a camera, a mobile phone as well as a tablet which can easily be detached to be used conveniently.

According to Yanko Design, this concept builds-up on the principle of shared hardware as we tend to waste a lot of hardware by using separate devices for different functions. The Lifebook concept basically is a laptop that is incorporated with a separate tablet, digital camera and phone featuring a music player. All these devices can be readily connected to the laptop without the need of tangling wires and cables.

The easily detachable tablet acts a full-fledged slate when it is not connected to the Lifebook. But as soon as the tab is inserted in the space provided for it in the laptop through a 16-pin connector, it acts as a virtual keypad for the latter. The change in the function of the tab is brought about by a sensor that senses when the tablet is docked in the laptop. The connection also leads to the tablet sharing its hardware with the laptop.

Users can also view their content on dual screens by switching to tablet mode from the keypad. Similarly, the Fujitsu Lifebook 2013 is integrated with a phone featuring a music player which also does not need wires for its connection to the main device. It immediately starts sharing data when it is connected to the laptop. Some other advantages of this concept include a single point charging and software updates for all devices.

Although it is just a concept as of now, we expect to see the Fujitsu Lifebook 2013 turned into a reality, hopefully by next year.
