Full deployment of Droid Turbo 2 Marshmallow update begins

Motorola has announced that the company has started “full deployment” of the Droid Turbo 2 Marshmallow update. The announcement – as usual – came in the form of a Google+ post from the company’s senior director of software product management David Schuster.

But, didn’t the roll-out start early last month, you might ask. Well, that’s a valid question, which unfortunately Schuster didn’t answer in his post directly, although we assume that the term “full deployment” means that not all Droid Turbo 2 units received the update at that time.

So yeah, this seems to be (and we really hope…

El LG G5 SE es la versión lite del buque insignia

LG G5 SE

Del LG G5 conocemos casi más sus módulos que la propia calidad del teléfono. Con una forma distinta de buscar la atención ante otros buques insignias, el fabricante coreano ha lanzado otra apuesta que conlleva que te puedas olvidar de poner todos los esfuerzos en un smartphone que, a final de cuentas, es lo que buscan los usuarios más que ciertos gadgets como extras.

Desde el sitio ruso Hi-Tech@Mail.ru llega una review del G5 SE, una versión lite del G5 y menor en especificaciones tal como lo indica es denominación “SE”. Menos elementos de calidad por menos dinero para pasar a los 3 GB de RAM en vez de los 4GB del G5 y lo que es sustituir el Snapdragon 820 por uno de menor potencia con el Snapdragon 652.

Donde si que son iguales es en la pantalla de 5,3 pulgadas IPS y en la misma resolución con 2560 x 1400. Mientras es destacable que tengan esa misma cantidad de píxeles, la pantalla no tiene tanto brillo como la del G5. La principal razón para ello es que así no consumirá tanta batería.

La cantidad de batería sigue siendo la misma con una capacidad de 2.800 mAh, por lo que la decisión para reducir el brillo de la pantalla puede que haya sido acertado para mejorar la sensación que se tiene con el G5, al que desde varios reviews critican este elemento.

A lo que sí se accede en el G5 SE es el combo de cámara de 16 MP dual, aunque el sitio web ruso no deja claro si estamos ante la misma lente que el G5. El SE también tiene las mismas formas en lo referente al diseño de módulos.

De momento no se sabe en que regiones se lanzará el G5, aunque tampoco nos sorprenderíamos mucho si este terminal solamente llega a determinados mercados como parece ser que es el ruso.

Asia Braces For A Punch As Apple’s Net Income Falls

Apple’s surprise 26% drop in net income through March this year isn’t just a chilling signal that the global smartphone market has become saturated, pinching even the normally resistant iPhone. Market researchers have forecast saturation for the past three or four years as enthusiasm for new devices tapers in China and the West. The scion of the Silicon Valley’s unusual net income decline, from $13.6 billion in the first three months of last year to $10 billion in the same period this year, foreshadows a loss of business for a list of flagship Apple partners crucial to the economies of China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
