Fujitsu showcases quad-core (2012 Smartphone Review, tech, news update)

Unlike what we thought before, Fujitsu didn't just have the ultra thin Arrows F-078 and the ES IS12F to display at the CES. In fact they had something really special to show, a quad-core Android smartphone running on Ice Cream Sandwich.

The phone currently is just a prototype and the specifications could change before it is announced officially at the MWC this year but it seems mighty impressive as it is. For starters it will run on the quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, which will take care of all your gaming needs. Fujitsu demonstrated this power by running Riptide GP on it and the device was able to run the game on its own display as well as an external monitor smoothly. And thanks to the fifth companion core built-in, it will consume less power when you're not running graphics heavy applications.

The Arrow prototype also had a 4.6-inch HD display and a 13.1 megapixel rear camera capable of ISO 25,600 sensitivity, although it remains to be seen how good the images are at that kind of ISO value. Lastly, the phone will launch with Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box.

We will find out more about it at MWC along with information regarding which markets it plans to release the phone in. Although Fujitsu does plan to bring the phone to the west it eventually will also depend upon the carriers there.

Apple iPhone 3G, 3GS repair while you wait? Is it true? Call (09) 551-5344

The popularity of the Apple iPhone in the New Zealand consumer market had created heaps of "professional", "iStuffU" or "iDeath" type of repair centre.  Many fall victim without realizing those dubious operator.  Most of these semi-pro operates with a cheap website, using obscure busines address (or some with no physical address).  On top of that, they do not even have a land line phone number for you to call or only will contact you via email.

We are one of the few professional Apple iPhone, Blackberry, Nokia, Samsung mobile phone repair laboratory who offer repair service by professional engineers while you wait.  Besides that, we are a proud member of New Zealand Retailers Association; this means that your right as a consumer will be respected and you are not taking risk dealing with less reputable organization.

Why most of them cannot do that? Easy, the semi-pro usually send your expensive phone away for repair or unlock by God-knows-who; if not, each "new model" is free for them to butcher and experiment upon.

Dr Mobiles Limited usually can replace the damage LCD or broken digitzer within 45 mins while you wait!
