because michael fisher with pocket now come here at the new tnt unwrapped event in new york city checking out some new devices from HTC from samsung nokia a bunch of other manufacturers we're going to go downstairs and take a look at some hardware will show a multi in the same video it'll be a lot of fun a little loud down there but come party with us come on down it out this is the one x+ and you'll notice that the buttons are white on the bottom because this is the AT&T version and as such you get to see the AT&T logo appear different kind of ATT branding that is a little bit different than before we get that kind of little globe they're kind of in a nonchalant way it's kind of out of the way which is nice they go over to the back we just get the beats audio and the HTC logo totally different feel here not the polycarbonate with a salt touch plastic that we've had on devices for years now it just feels really nice in the hand but beyond that it's an HTC One X but better for example we have the really nice screen screen that many think is better than the iphone 5 better than anything out there you can galaxy s3 tremendous viewing angles on something to the side so you can just see how great the viewing ads are this is the same screen as the One X the difference here is we've got a 1.7 gigahertz NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor the newer Tegra 3 processor is supposed to be faster in a lot of ways we've got jelly bean so project butter is in the house we've got a new notification shade cleaned up a lot here if you notice that I'm not exactly sure what's different here but I can tell it something is indeed it's just a lot cleaner than it used to be so we've got also new technology on the front facing camera actually want to show you that and by the way I've never seen a camera app open this fast watch this boom it's instant I I really have never seen a camera app hope in that fast and that's awesome because you want to be able to take a picture quickly so we're flip with the front-facing camera which is now a higher resolution and yes that's Michael and that's me and new feature so if you tap on a face what's up on my face you get a countdown Wow smile yea biden smile i'm sorry what it does is it doesn't count down there which is pretty cool so you don't have to fumble with the buttons or anything like that and that's that's pretty much it it's a faster one x it looks like a 1x it feels like a 1x just faster hey guys i'm staying with the HTC pattern this is the HTC one VX not the poison gas from the film The Rock but the mid-range offering that complements the HTC one x+ this is running a 1.2 gigahertz Qualcomm Snapdragon s4 processor backed up by a gig of ram it is a it is backed up by a storage capacity of I believe eight gigs but that is expandable via microSD just like a lot of other mid-range handsets released today as we've discussed before as far as Hardware goes the device feels actually really really quite good in a hand we have a nice silver bezel here and that white polycarbonate that we're familiar from from the HTC One the initial release popular to open with the front HTC Sense very responsive on this display very much like an HTC sensation as far as the spec sheet goes and as far as the feel not quite so much to look but obviously not an over performing gaming powerhouse just a mid-range offering that happens to look quite nice once all the prototype numbers are removed so I've always wanted to run android on my camera now I we can pick galaxy camera we showed you this at etho but now I'm going to take a look at this camera and it doesn't make phone calls as you'll see in a second what's interesting about this camera is that it's actually got the pretty much the same innards as a galaxy s3 it's got a 1.4 gigahertz quad-core Exynos processor it's got a gig of ram it's got a screen that's about the same size four point seven seven inches which is essentially 4.8 inches now if you turn on the device you don't get android right away you get the camera and that makes a lot of sense there's a lot of cool stuff we can do with the camera but first I want you to take a look at the optical zoom and hopefully the cameraman mr. Michael Fisher can take take take the view up here we are in beautiful New York City we're going to use the 21 optical zoom again this is Android doing this this is your dreams coming true if you if you like photography guys and optical image stabilization wear and take a picture of this far away please like I had to hold my breath 30 seconds there and we got a picture there let's look and see how the picture came out very lightweight device in the hand a little bit of noise but that's to be expected when you're zooming that much I'm gonna bring it back down at the table here and we're going to take a look at what can Joe it's like on a camera so we're gonna hit the home button and that's how you get back into Android or at least I think that is ok back button ok I see the kind of a camera retracting sort of for suppose that's ok for those comments final software not final suffering oh my gosh we've got jelly bean here this is let me remind you this is a camera with jelly bean and it is super smooth and super fast this has data hspa+ data not 4g LTE which is great because you can instantly upload your photos to dropbox you're using instagram you can pimp out your pictures press defy them or however you might want to like to apply your filters but at the end of the day this is Android you can do all the cool stuff you can do with a droid unlikely that we are going to get internet connection here because we are running with very little large that but you know it runs in portrait and landscape this is a really interesting idea and I am personally curious to see if this device takes off or not it's a very polarizing device do you really want a dedicated Android thing that has a camera that doesn't make calls are you willing to do that or are you okay with just an android phone that takes really good photos like the galaxy s3 and other phones like that so this is the galaxy camera and I was delighted to take a tour of it here hey guys it's Michael again we've all seen the Nokia Lumia 920 we're up here on the rooftop to try and get a little bit better light on this this is obviously the banana yellow version not sure if that's the official color name or not you can see the gloss here on the device we've also handled the the cyan version here which probably will be will be my phone just to give you an impression of what it feels like in the ham this is absolutely the 186 grams of this device are definitely apparent when you hold it but they play into the the hardware the hardware positivity that I'm a giant fan of of devices that are not too light also we have some good mechanical feedback here on the volume rocker the standby button and of course the shutter button / camera launch key there's a lock screen of course Windows Phone 8 we're not allowed to do to handle Windows Phone 8 on our own but we have Kevin from Nokia is going to just show us a little bit not much new in that respect but let me hand over the phone to him trade places sure same as before press and hold and you see the little arrow right down here press it you get the smaller towel get the full size tile it one more time and you go back to the third size time and when it's in the smaller size that will still show notification yes you can see here this one shilling one text message missing right there on one of the smaller tiles if you had an email same thing so the other of the unique things differentiators for this device or our pier view imaging technology so with this device we actually have optical image stabilization when you take that combine it with our carl zeiss optics with the to davao after we had to get amazing low-light photography with the optic and stabilization regularly the lens open longer which allows more light into the sensor which gives you great energy and low light conditions maybe that would be a stabilization we can do that at the end what we also have here is our peer motion HD 4.5 inch display and what we have here is we've overclocked in this place you actually get 60 frames per second on the display itself so you get no lag or blurring you scroll you can see the easily just rolling here we also have our clear black technology on this device allows great outdoor readability and high brightness situations the other thing we have integrated wireless charging you on this device so you don't have to plug it in you can set it on a wireless charging accessory and charge it that way we also have NFC capabilities for tampa chair tap tap air and then we also have 32 gigs at built-in memory on this device so the optical image stabilization i will give you a brief demo here at booth will activate the camera might be texting life yeah we'll do our best here so so as you can see here is I start shaking the device you can see it's shaken but when I press the shutter down halfway the Sheikh stops but I'm still shaking my hand let up again and start shaking again once I press it again and were there but it is in person and the same thing for video so that actually works on big video and imaging murders so not a whole lot of headline news here in New York City from the AT&T event but a lot of awesome technology that we were really happy to get it first and sometimes a second look at thanks to AT&T for having us out a lot of cool technology on this plate you
