The keyboard, however, is just the tip of the iceberg. Aiming to companies, the Passport has been equipped with a screen form factor and square ratio 1: 1, optimal for reading documents or surfing the web, less for watching movies and other videos recorded in 16: 9. The battery, finally, is the third major piece of the Passport, described as a device for “power professional” , or those who “need innovation to combine the best part of work and personal” as explained Reyes during the presentation. The integrated battery of 3450 mAh provides up to 30 hours with the use of “mixed” and during the day more body can last up to 18 hours. Estimates sufficient to ensure the autonomy to work in serenity with BlackBerry Passport.
BlackBerry Passport incorporates the whole experience of the BlackBerry that was, when it was known as RIM, and the “new” company, that devoted the rebirth of the brand. Thus we find a central hub for messaging, email and social networks, all in the BlackBerry Hub; 90% of the Top 100 of Android applications is compatible with BlackBerry OS and the App Store Amazon is officially included; Total focus on companies, the real customer of this BlackBerry. “This does not mean that we are putting aside the consumer market” said Reyes, “but our goal is the corporate market.”
To demonstrate this, Blend, the Canadian service through which to synchronize smartphone, tablet and PC regardless of the operating system, is touted as essential for companies who need to be able to operate on heterogeneous terminals safely. One of the features that the more you can appreciate Blend, in fact, is the lack of files stored on other devices used; everything is handled by the Passport, currently the only Canadian device to support it. Version 10.3 of the operating system will be distributed to other smartphones in early 2015. In Italy, BlackBerry Passport is sold only through phone operators to a recommended price of 649 euro .

In terms of productivity the Passport to the best of thanks to the capacious battery, the QWERTY keyboard, which is essential to write long texts, and square to the screen. Finally, the operating system of this BlackBerry is one of the best solutions with regard to security, a feature not negligible at this particular time.

Along with the notes Edge is the most innovative end of this review. It is a terminal equipped with two screens. The front display is an AMOLED screen Full HD 5 “with a resolution of 1920×1080, 16 million colors, 442 ppi, and the protection provided by the glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The main screen is clearly used to surf the Internet, social network, watch video and gaming. The real innovation of YotaPhone 2 is concealed on the back: on the back was placed a screen Always-On Yota, ideal for reading ebook, the control of notifications, the outdoor display, customization with your favorite pictures and much more.
Vlad Martynov, CEO of Yota said: “We believe that our technology has created a category completely new smartphone: not only for having integrated into the device an efficient EPD screen but to be able to get them to work in harmony. “
The screen Yota Always-On is able to increase the battery life , providing up to five days of e-reading on a single charge. YotaPhone 2 provides a range to be important due to the presence of this type of technology; read on screen Yota Always-On is up seven times more efficient in terms of use of battery than traditional AMOLED HD display.
Another advantage of the rear screen is the viewing angle of nearly 180 degrees and provides good readability even in case of direct sunlight. The display Yota Always-On allows you to be up to date on what is happening in their smartphone without having to touch the phone to activate the time display to view email, text messages or notifications from social networks. And ‘enough then look at the screen to get all the information available. YotaPhone 2 is the result of the work of an international team of engineers and required a development time of about three years.
From the point of view of the dimensional YotaPhone has the following measures : 144 x 69.5 x 8.9 mm, weighs 145 grams and the body slim and durable thanks to Gorilla Glass 3 present on both sides.
- Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad core 2.2 Ghz with 2GB RAM & amp; 32GB eMMC.

YotaPhone belongs to a “completely new category” of smartphones. Until now, no one had thought and the idea of the two screens is definitely original. The rear screen is indeed always active and allows the user to save considerably on battery life, and avoid using the front panel 5 “Full HD, much more thirsty in terms of energy resources. The management of notifications, thanks to the screen Always-On, prevents the user to activate the screen.
The reading an e-book, thanks to the e-ink screen, ensures readability even under direct sunlight and a substantial savings in terms of autonomy. The painful notes of this device are represented, at least in part, by the sale price. 749 Euros are definitely not just for a smartphone of a young startup; however, the cost is justified by innovation, from research costs and development and the size of the same company that certainly can not compete with the resources available to the giants of the mobile phone. To date, however, is perhaps the only device that has proposed something truly unique and original.
LG G FLEX

Curbed by an exceedingly initial purchase price, definitely too high, LG G Flex is a smartphone that can boast of one curved screen. A product that has staked everything on the innovative LG. Among the most publicized permitted by the curved screen of the G Flex, we find a battery curve, a rear shell capable of self-repair minor scratches and audio more clear during conversations thanks to the particular form that adheres better to the user’s face.
That the curved screen is definitely a feature never seen before but, once past the ” hangover “, partially disappointed in everyday experience.

LG G Flex is currently sold on the store Orange to 339 euro , a price that actually adds much appeal to this device that, with regard to the spread, has been slowed by the original sales price.
PANASONIC LUMIX CM1
Panasonic CM1 | CC. Panasonic
Panasonic is not a producer of the first band regarding smartphones. Recall Panasonic Eluga, water-resistant device, which was certainly not warmly received by critics and audiences. Panasonic still did not give up and that is how he presented the Lumix DMC-CM1 directly at Photokina in Cologne.
It is a cameraphone with a focal length lens with Leica lenses with a focal ratio of f / 2.8 and 20-megapixel sensor. This huge sensor, 1 “, allows the Lumix record video in 4K and capture shots of higher quality than the competition. All the CM1 is designed to give the highest priority to the photography: in addition to the charge button to shoot, there is a dial to define the manual settings and, of course, a software suite dedicated to photo management. The operating system is Android 4.4 Kit Kat, the 21 mm thick and weighing 204 grams.
The rest of the specifications are very high: screen 4.7 “full HD, 801 Snapdragon processor at 2.3 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of memory expandable via microSD (up to 128 GB) and finally by 2600 mAh battery. Panasonic CM1 is available in Germany and France at 900 euro. A high figure that makes this CM1 a niche product.
