CES 2012 Wrap-up - Our Recap Of The Top Players & Disapointments

2012-01-13
hello everyone this is hi Mary better with parking out calm and well just like we'd begun CES 2012 telling you everything that we expect it to happen in the event let's go through the things that happen the things that didn't and what disappointed okay so let's start with the biggest winners of CES 2012 and we think that the biggest one is AT&T I mean out of the blue nobody was expecting AT&T to bring out so many devices we got six new Android smartphones and we also got two new when those phones and all these devices are 4G LTE so it's really great to see that AT&T brought us some really great budget devices like for example the pantech element that probably may not be that big for you but hey it's a waterproof device so you're out there for a tablet for your kids or something that's probably your best choice you can actually purchase it with other budget smartphones for a really good price and we also got some really good high-end smartphones from Android like for example the Sony Xperia ion I was about to say Ericsson but there you go and well we also got some really good windows phone 7.5 devices the HTC Titan to brings that 4G LTE connectivity to the Titan design it was a really good device we brought two hands on of all these devices and a lil aside from that we also have the nokia lumia 900 which we did expect to happen but we were kind of thinking that 4G LTE wouldn't happen and it did so the Lumia 900 is also another hands on that we showed you so far the device is really good and while another big winner for CES 2012 is definitely Microsoft and their nokia combination i mean speaking of microsoft's alone was the fact that they figured out how to get some really good 4g LTE connectivity on their new windows phones that was something we didn't think could happen I mean we heard that hardware software wise the operating system was not really optimized for a 4G LTE so we thought we'd have to wait until probably the Apollo release by the end of this year now this was really surprising we were hoping for it but it was wishful thinking we didn't think it would really happen now we have the HTC time to and we also have the nokia lumia 900 now speaking of that lumia 900 we were expecting the 800 to be released in the united states and hey we got something better 900 is a really great device really great loony 800 design but actually bigger we reviewed the 800 and it was a really good device but obviously there are people out there they want the big screen and I personally prefer windows phone 7 on a larger screen so definitely the Lumia 900 is a compelling device for a lot of you now speaking of winners we also got verizon that finally brought us their motorola droid 4 I mean it was more like a soap opera waiting for that device with so many leaks in no phone but we finally got it it's a really good razor design that brings you a slide out keyboard if you're out there for a razor the motorola droid 4 is definitely your device if you want the keyboard and also we got the LG spectrum which brings that 720p display really good design really good device I really liked it personally and well we also got that Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 and probably that was probably the biggest one and for me it was because the reason why I don't like 7-inch tablet is because you also have to put up with the bulk of a 7-inch tablet because they have to fit the battery and just about everything there on a smaller sandwich like you see on for example the kindle fire for the blackberry playbook but something else Sampson figured out a way to pull it off with this Galaxy Tab 7.7 and it's not plasticky it's really surely a really good design I wasn't really sure if it was metal and a knotted look metal it felt metal but you know they do some really good things with plastic these days so could be but it was a really good design so far was really sleek in the performance was great so definitely if you're out there for 7 inch tablet this most likely should be your next pick I know it will be for a lot of us now out of the blue another one that we got out there we weren't really expecting anything from with sprint we got there Samsung Galaxy Nexus brought for their 4g LTE network and we also got the LG viper now well you have two choices you can either go for the higher end Samsung Galaxy Nexus though it's the same design and the same device that you already know that we reviewed and we also have the LG viper if you're looking for a mid-tier device that will bring you stock android 2.3 on your 4g sprint LTE network now again we weren't really expecting anything it's good news that we got it so let's hope they come out soon because nobody's providing dates I kind of hate that and well Intel was also able to deliver we were not really sure if they were able to pull some something off with their intel atom chip for a smartphone but we did get a device sadly we didn't get an LG smartphone we got a lenovo device which we showed you a hands on it looked really good though well we tried the prototype and everything worked well with the prototype but then when you got the Lenovo phone and then really cut it there so we are expecting them to polish their Android UI because the Lenovo you is kind of weird not really sure when we're getting this device on the United States we're getting it in China somehow one of your in china so we're kind of waiting to see what happens because remember last year we got that phone from LG and Intel that never got released so sadly it's kind of a hit or miss let's see if they really pull it off lenovo seems to be really sold on this and well let's hope they release it soon in the United States so far the specs and like you could see on their preview I mean the phone really performed well the prototype at least let's see what happens and well just like we started with the biggest winners let's talk about the biggest losers I mean honestly we were expecting more Android devices to be launched 2011 CES was the event for all androids devices to be released and sadly we didn't get that same story in CES 2012 we're expecting a lot of ice cream sandwich out there and well we got a lot of gingerbread that will eventually be upgraded but that was pretty much it we didn't get more and then we were also expecting more from for example t-mobile and we didn't get anything at least nothing compelling and then well that was pretty much it that was CES 2012 in the mobile spectrum obviously we do have ctia and we do have mwc that will bring you more mobile devices let's hope that all OEM and carriers polish ice cream sandwich more polish Windows Phone more to bring us more devices in the future because well CES was mostly a consumer electronics show for 3d TVs that was pretty much the big news here and last year was more Android so smart TVs were the thing this year let's see if we get some more smartphones and tablets in the next events so this is hien everything that is signing off from CES 2012 we had a lot of fun it was a lot of work a lot of things to cover we hope you enjoy the hands-on so leave is the comment down below what things that you like the most in with things that you not like thank you very much
