Design

Motorola Motoluxe XT389 is a Touch Bar construction which falls in the sub 100g category. The dimensions of 116mm x 63.5mm x 11mm is something that can be called standard but yes, we can call the phone sleek and with comfortable grip, when held in hand.

Talking about the looks, the phone is a pure white construction which is an average sized construction. The phonesports 3.5 inch TFT Capacitive touchscreen which supports 16M colors. The screen resolution of 320 x 480 pixels cannot be regarded as exceptional but on this screen size, the content appears decent.

On the front panel, you can see four capacitive buttons enhancing the functionalities of the phone including Home, Back, Options and search, where everything seems just a touch away.

Performance  

The smartphone isn’t named smart, it has to act like on too. This mid-range phone offers superior performance for various operations and applications. Thanks to its 800MHz instilled on the MediaTek MT6573 chipset, which offerscommendable processing and multitasking.

For all those who are reasonably dependent on Navigational support and refer to maps frequently for directions, the phone offers A-GPS support for them. Supporting all your computing deeds, the phone is inbuilt with 512MB RAM.

Multimedia

Motorola Motoluxe XT389 Phone is incorporated with 3.15 Megapixel camera which can give you decent image quality in daylight brightness. The camera offers you image quality of 2048 x 1536 pixels which is exceptionally good when it comes to comparing with other similar budgeted phones.

You can make use of Geo tagging feature instilled in the camera for labeling your images based on different geographical location. You can also do video recording of 720 pixels at 30 frames per second which is one brilliant feature this mid-range phone offers.

If you love listening to music, you can bung in your headphone in its 3.5mm audio jack which lets you listen to Audio files of MP3, WAV, WMA and eAAC+ formats while you can enjoy video playback of Divx, WMV, H.263, H.264 and MP4 format.

Disappointingly, there’s no Radio incorporated in the phone.

War of the New Mobile OS’s – Windows 8 Vs Apple iOS6 Vs Android Jelly Bean

Windows 8 Vs iOS6 Vs Android V4.1 Jelly Bean

The global tech giants Google, Microsoft and Apple are racing in the Operating System markets, offering competitive features including enhanced Location-based applications, mobile payment services, better browsing and much more.

Lately, all the three companies uncovered their respective Operating systems in their individual Developer’s conferences by providing customized experience to the users especially location based applications.

It hadn’t been a while when we saw Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich launch in the market, that Google hopped in again to come with upgraded version-Jelly Bean. With the launch of Jelly Bean, the real Battle actually started between the three top notch technology houses – Google (Android Jelly Bean), Apple (iOS6) and Microsoft (Windows 8).

Few highlights of Android Jelly Bean , Microsoft Windows 8 and Apple iOS6

Aesthetics

What appeals the most is the Aesthetics of a smartphone which revolves around its User Interface and Interactivity.

Android Jelly Bean is based on its previous version ICS which can be considered its platform. In the standard form it can be accustomed to your wallpapers choice for giving personal touch. All thanks to numerous widget applications on Google play and interactive features which let you do what you want.

Microsoft Windows 8 offer more customization than its predecessor. The new OS comes with resizing of tiles option which can happen in three different sizes for varied sized information. At one go, the screen can accommodate maximum of 32 tiles which allows ease of quick access of the icons.

You will find some peppy colors on in the new interfaces. Overall, the fluidic and appealing Interface makes the tech biggie Microsoft score major brownie points.

Apple iOS6 is made much easier to use since its first version. Enhanced functioning, stylish operations andsmoother tasking is what defines this new iOS however aesthetically, this hasn’t been touched in the new version.

You’ll see more of white and silver appearance on the interface as small icons.

Out of the three, Apple iOS 6 has been continued with the traditional look which makes it look outdated whileMicrosoft and Google have worked harder on giving their new OS a shiny and bright appearance.

Games & Applications

Android Jelly Bean – Currently running 600,000 applications, most of them designed to run on smartphones andtablets. Yes it touches the million mark technically! Visibly, these millions of offerings are not optimized for tablets which makes it lesser preferable than iOS6.

Windows Phone 8 – It runs 100,000 apps currently which are available to users for download but something lesser than what Android offers. We haven’t got to test those applications yet since no Windows 8 tablets and mobiles are available yet.

Apple iOS6 – With over 650,000 applications Apple top the charts for offering downloading interesting applications for smartphones and tablets; dedicated 225,000 applications for Apple iPad.

Facebook Integration

Android Jelly Bean – offers commendable Facebook integration. Upload and share unlimited content anywhere in the OS. You can sync your phone contacts with Facebook data on your phone.

Microsoft Windows 8 -  is one of the selling points of Windows Phone which allows ease of status update, chatting, image uploading, making schedules and much through Microsoft’s own sections.

Apple iOS 6 – Facebook integration through Apple iOS6 is also easy which indirectly means uploading and updating is reasonably comfortable; you can sync your iOS calendar with Facebook events.

Mobile Payment

Android Jelly Bean – comes with Google Wallet which offers mobile payments, rewards/offers/deals, discounts and much more.

Microsoft Windows Phone 8 – With this new OS you will be able to access credit/debit cards, loyalty cardsthrough its Digital wallet. What’s going to be the plus point is additional security through NFC elements stored onSIM cards which will allow secure operations.

Apple iOS 6 – As it doesn’t have NFC, it can’t offer Mobile payments. But probably, it has something different. Apple has ‘Passbook’ which allows you to collect your ticket, debit/credit cards, rewards and much more. You will also be notified with the updates for the products you have got stored in Passbook such as expiring offers, flights details etc.
