Gionee Elifa: The thinnest smartphone in the world in the Guinness World Records

A rather well-deserved title, since it shows only 5.1 mm thick at the counter, it might even keep some time because it's probably not tomorrow the day that a manufacturer will succeed in finer.



Despite its thinness, the new Gionee Elifa S5.1 coming out offers more than decent specifications which include a Super AMOLED 4.8 inch definition HD 1280 x 720 pixels, a quad-core processor Snapdragon processor 400 coupled with 1 GB RAM, 16GB of internal memory, two cameras of 8 and 5 Megapixels and a battery of 2100 mAh sensors, all running Android 4.3 via the user interface Amigo 2.0 UI.

We of course regret the lack of SD slot, due to the extreme thinness of the device and the presence of Android 4.3 while KitKat almost a year ago. Aside from its thinness, the new Gionee Elifa S5.1 coming out sports a rather successful design, characterized by a metal design that gives it a stylish and premium side halfway between the Newest iPhone 6 and the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. It comes in four colors which are white, black, pink and mint green.

Note that this is not the first device of the firm to boast of being the finest in the world since a few months earlier, the Gionee Elifa S5.5 coming out also beat a record, but certainly less smartphone Equally significant, inaugurating a thickness of 5.5 mm. When is an even finer smartphone?

Samsung, the Galaxy Alpha is a "New standard of design"

Samsung's first Android smartphone to offer a semi-metal design, the Galaxy Alpha is a device whose firm seems decidedly proud. So while the camera slowly begins its marketing , Samsung has released a new infographic which are recalled outline design of the device and whose slogan is "a new standard of design for smartphones."

The infographic reminds us that the Galaxy Alpha comes with a sturdy metal frame that gives it a certain durability, combined with a plastic back which facilitates its grip. The five colors of the device are also mentioned, as well as its main technical characteristics.



Of the various visual, Galaxy Alpha is successively compared to a pair of leather shoes for its softness, a stiletto heel for its fineness of only 6.7 mm and a tie for its light since it weighs in at only 115 grams. Choices that are anything but a coincidence since the product is continuously treated as a fashion accessory.

Alpha Galaxy which preceded the announcement of the iPhone 6 and Samsung continues to promote and showcase focusing on its main feature: its design. A design that Samsung defines a "new standard" for smartphones not only to better oppose its competitors but it's probably also a way of telling us that the metal will become an integral part of all future high-end the firm.



It is no coincidence if the Galaxy Note 4 also features a metal frame. The road will probably even long before that Samsung offers terminals 100% metal but the fact is that the Korean gradually integrates materials more "premium" than plastic in its terminals.

new Sony Xperia Z2 coming out: le smartphone haute couture

Sony markets (yet) a high-end smartphone. If news is low compared to previous models, they are some welcome. What made ​​him a good choice among the latest additions to the segment, thanks to its excellent finish.



Sony doesn't stop. Long behind against competitors of new smartphones coming out, the Japanese brand is trying since last year to catch up. After Xperia Z in March 2013 and last September Z1, the manufacturer draws this month Z2. A fast-paced compared to annual updates top range of Apple or Samsung.



Simple commercial real strategy or policy? Difficult at first to differentiate the Xperia Z1 Z2 . The size, weight and design are really close. Sony yet managed to integrate this new model a screen of 5.2 inches instead of 5 inches from the previous edition. The materials used are always flattering: two glass plates, contained in an aluminum rim. We note in passing the presence of caches on connectors (except the headphone jack) allows the sealing of the device (up to 30 minutes in one meter of water).

The photo quality is progressing but is still not the best

Not much change either side of the interface. The overlay version 4.4 of Android used here remains elegant, but very classic. Sony does not give in to the lure of "flat design" adopted by Apple in iOS 7 or insight on the new Samsung Galaxy S5 . Technically, the Xperia Z2 yet offers what is best at this time, as the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 801.



It is however still on the reservation photographic performance. Despite borrowing technologies from ranges of compact cameras brand, 20.7 megapixel still not at some competing models, especially in low light. However, progress is real with respect to Z1 had rather disappointed on this point.

Integrated audio noise reduction

This is done in the field of video Z2 increased the most, with welcome news: capture 4K (visible only on Ultra HDTV), slow-motion (slow to perform at 120 frames per second) and integrated sharing options (like Vine, rare enough to be reported).



But Sony is primarily one of the few brands to offer a credible alternative to Google in terms of content. Shops to purchase games, music and movies are available and within the interface. We note in passing very nice interface Walkman application. Music lovers will be very sensitive, especially since Sony provides Z2 with this first in a smartphone: the integrated noise reduction.



This will use the earbuds MDR-NC31EM supplied with the new phones coming out . Advantage over competing models: no extra battery is required for these headphones. Even if the result does not reach the performance of Bose model, reference material, it is very valuable and very practical. A real plus to finally stay quiet in transport. And especially to differentiate the new HTC One M8 and new Samsung Galaxy S5 coming out .
