[q] HDMI + USB Ports + charging in one dock (Galaxy Smart Dock)

Hey Folks!
I´m wondering if there is/will be something similar to the Samsung Galaxy Smart Dock for the Nexus 4 in near future. The Smart Dock (Multimedia Dockingstation
EDD-S20E) is just available for the S3 and the Note 2 and offers the user a Dock with 3 USB ports, an HDMI port and a speaker line out (while the device can be charged as well).
This seems to be quite a monster accessoire imao, as one really can use the device as a PC replacement (in some way ). As I´m still fighting with the decision to either buy a Note 2 or to wait for the Nexus, I would love to know if the Nexus will offer me such a "flexibility" as well!
Someone out there with more knowledge than myself?

It seems like something this will be possible for the Nexus 4, too.
As stated on the official spec sheet the Nexus 4 supports SlImPort HDMI
, according to the spec sheet of SlimPort, there is support for USB-Otg.

The Nexus 4 just seems to get better and better.

Got a link to one? First time I've ever heard of such a thing. Very cool.

The dock idea would be great! However I think the idea of trying to create something like this ourselves would sound fun too.

So, is it confirmed that Nexus 4 has OTG?
Thanks.

I believe the device has USB OTG, I remember reading about it in one of the early review articles.

I hope .

good design and specs.. I think you should add a laser beam features. It can kill bad people or iphones.
the casing should be black and have baby skin touch.

dual boot. too much work for sony, enough said. each every update will take too much time and resource for a silly phone.

hahaha...good for u to try something new...BUT
i can c that obviously u r not designer..phone design is not that simple...
u need to think about lots of things not only the look but how to hold the phone, grip and size etc(too many)...i can say the sony wouldnt even bother to look at this design...im sry...but keep trying...one day u will achieve something...haha..

if apple would sue this thing of it's design i'll go crazy haha a very unique design

You mean like Nokia N9 that runs 2 OSs ? I can see you're dreaming man
Sony didn't listen to us when we asked them for ICS for Xperia Play
Sony didn't listen to its customers when they wanted a quad core phone in 2012
Why would Sony listen to you ? + they have a lack of developers + they are so busy upgrading Xperia 2012 devices to Android 4.2

Good ,look nice.

It will NEVER HAAPEN. Sony = PS3. Microsoft = Xbox 360 = Windows. They are competing for a reason. Sony will NEVER use Windows phone as their smartphone platform let alone dualboot OS'.

Comparing the latest iPad and a newly released Android Tablet. Can anyone give me 3 good reasons for each device which is better and for what reason:
Latest iPad versus Latest Android Tablet

IPad has better apps, better accessories and better build quality (if compared to samsung). Latest android tablet can be hacked both software and hardware(presumably), and has the latest specs(except maybe gpu?)

Best Website To compare Any Devices
The best website I prefer to compare any devices of any XYZ company is.
www.gsmarena.com
Use the compare Function While viewing and phone specification.
And also the user review about the phone and the daily interest and popularity is available here.

If you want a super smooth and a well designed and neat UI, excellent build quality and have money to spare, go for the latest iPad.
If you want real value for money and the pure Android experience and the awesome option to develop your own software, go for Nexus(7 or 10).
If you are in between both the two, go for the latest Samsung Tablet.
And most of all, if you want to send songs or apps via Bluetooth or have a file explorer, go for any Android tablet.

Comparing either my old HTC Incredible or my newer S3 to this iPhone(4?) I have here from work doesn't seem fair. I don't know how anyone could use android and then go on to iPhone, it seems so limiting. Also it's heavy for the size.

Good question, I would like to know as well.

Nexus 7 or Xperia Z
Hi all,
I bought the nexus 7 a week ago but i haven't been that happy with the device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232569).
Im not sure I really need a tablet, and having another device to carry/charge is also a little annoying.
My iPhone 3GS is on the way out anyway- so i thought of returning my Nexus 7, and getting the Xperia Z instead.
Any comments on this? I do plan to read a lot on it (ereader). How is the xperia z to read on? Ok size?

Lumia 710 vs sony W8
i've been using my nokia lumia 710 for 6 month
i used custom ROM, so far lumia 710 so good, fast, smooth, good camera, can install xap application via pc, or direct download.
compare to my firnds android device W8, its lag, and limited in RAM

tornerei after
samsung note 2 dual sim N1702 vs samsung grand duos I9082
can't decide

China phone:
Goophone i5 vs zoophone 5

I also love gsmarena.com as some users have already pointed out... only "problem" I see is that you can't compare more than 2 devices at once...

If you are getting a phone for mainly reading, I suggested either an amoled screen, for battery saving purposes, or a lcd3 screen, which imo, looks better. According to what I've read, the z's screen is washed out, so I would avoid it.

Official Lollipop on Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2???

Have you any news about the upgrade?
do we will can see Android 5.0 ?

Still anyone's guess at this point. The Galaxy Tab S line only recently got their updates (and they are still rolling out on the numerous variants of those products) so it may be a while. Personally I'm still trying to be optimistic about it, but I'm not expecting any earth shattering improvements.

It'll take a while. Most of the larger-market Note 3's don't have 5.0, and they have identical hardware. Seems 5.0 has been put on hold for anything without a 6 in the device name, to prevent them impacting the S6 sales.

Even slight differences in hardware require testing though. Larger screen resolution and different cameras in the Note 3 and Note 12.2 are enough to cause 2 testing paths. Note 3 sales were presumably way higher than the 12.2 so that must take priority. My experience with Samsung is to wait a good long while before taking a firmware upgrade from them anyway.

Note 3&4 have it from Verizon of all people and they are some of the slowest to release updates. If they are going to release it it cant be far off

It's not that...there are problems ( I guess from google or qualqomm) with lollipop. I own also note edge 915FY and despite the fact that has the same hardware as 915F it has not been updated to 5.Even the S6 with 5.0.2.has an update before lounching....
The S5 has 2 or 3 updates after initial release of lolipop...
I just hope that note pro will get anytime an update to lolipop

It has that as well, yes. From Google. Bluetooth connectivity, crashing Contacts, WiFi issues, general instability and memory leaks. But holding off an update to stimulate sales for the new product is a tried and true business method that they've been using since the S2.
The second S5 Lollipop update was required because most users couldn't use their device properly after the first update, which was put on hold after the first week.

at this point I'd appreciate a decent non official Lollipop build...

UK version for Europe, there're more languages than US version.

Well this is something Vivo has to answer.
They need desperately bring new re design UI to Nex S as was their No 1 flagship that sold not only in mainland China but internationaly.
Only then will gain respect from user base aspect by strongly support their previous flagship on software matter.
Or else Vivo will loose many current and future customers and will not buy future smartphone by them.
Personal talking no matter what Vivo do I'm going to purchase OP7 day one if all the rumors come true(4000 battery,pup up camera and no redicules notch or holls)
I prefer Oxygen no matter how Fantouch will evolve.
I'm user who like a lot of customization and oneplus will deliver without any compromises.

Unfortunately as I can see this details review the native dark mode with Fantouch 9 it's useless as its light gray so no any impact to battery life and looks horrible.
Vivo should had add very dark gray or total black option even better.
