The Facebook messages will appear on your screen with the photo of your friend, whatever you are doing and you can respond on the moment or drag it out of the screen to continue your work.

Hardware

When we talk about the hardware then it is unexciting. The 4.3 inch screen high resolution attracts but the rectangular shape with round edges look traditional. It has a dual-core, 1.4 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with support for LTE, a 2000 mAh battery. The front camera is 1.6 megapixel and rare camera is 5.0 mega pixel.

Smartphone Makers Ranking 2012

The Smartphone sales were on a flight this year, beating the previous year record of cellphone sales by 1.2% in quarter 4 of 2012. The worldwide market grew by 1.9% in quarter 4 of 2012 vendors shipped over 712.6 million cellphones in 2012 which is 44.1% more than 2011 to be precise.

"The high-growth smartphone market, though dominated by Samsung and Apple, still presents ample opportunities for challengers, Vendors with unique market advantages, such as lower-cost devices, can rapidly gain market share, especially in emerging markets. A good example is Huawei, which overtook LG as a Top 5 vendor in the overall mobile phone market and passed HTC to become a Top 5 smartphone vendor."

-Kevin Restivo, senior research analyst with IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker.

Samsung remained top of the list in 2012 with a clear margin making the record for shipping the largest number of cellphones, in one quarter and in one year too. The Galaxy series was a hot cake for the market as you know.

Apple came second with the overwhelming demand of Iphone 4 worldwide and rapidly increased sales in China and other emerging markets. The sales in US increased dramatically too, when you look at the stats.

Huawei just came from nowhere and with a clever strategy found it's way into the top 3, beating major competition. The company shipment grew by 89.5% year-over-year, dragging it from top 10 to top 3 suddenly. However, the market share isn't so huge like Samsung and Apple i.e 29% amd 21.8% respectively. But the 4.9% market it captured is due to the economical and better designed cellphones.

Sony after acquiring Ericsson's stake in 2011 has held the market of high end smartphones firmly. The year-to-year change rose to 55.6% which is the second highest after Huawei. It seems that Sony is still longing for acquiring the mid-range market but getting more attention when it comes to high end smartphones. The market shares are going to boom with the release of Sony Xperia Z and Sony Zl which are coming in 2013's first quarter.

ZTE having a prime position as vendor stays in the top 5 with it's 4.3% market share. The increase in emerging markets tend to benefit ZTE more as we see a 48.4% year to year change in it's corner.



Where some companies like Huawei and Sony had a good year, Nokia and RIM sem to suffer a lot this year. With the wide spread of Android market,  some companies are finding it harder to strive back. While other's like Samsung and Sony seem to enjoy iy to the very core. The Smartphones are becoming common, and 2013 seems to be a crucial year for many smart phone vendors as anything can happen.

Iphone 5s Coming In July

After the much awaited release of Iphone 5 last year, it is time for Apple to move on with the Iphone 5 flagship. Of course, Iphone 5s is coming as 3gs and 4s came after Iphone 3g and 4 respectively. After the latest report from iLounge we came to know that Iphone 5s is going to be launched in July.

So start saving if you are an Apple fan, if not you can always go for another brand. But this is not it, the company is going to launch the next generation tablet line up too with the same design as their predecessors. Ipad mini and Ipad 5 are coming too in October 2013. Ipad mini is reportedly having a Retina Display too so Apple has rose the bar there.

But talking of Iphone 5s we are expecting a better performing device as compared to the Iphone 5.  A faster processor and a better camera is a must, the upgrades to come in Iphone 5s are:

• Faster Processor
• 13 Megapixel Camera Sensor by Sony
• Better Video Capture
• Finger Print Sensor Technology

The design of the phone will remain the same sadly, the same old 4-inch display. However, the price is expected to jump giving a room to Iphone 5 for staying in the market. But what we wish the most in Iphone 5s are better Maps. Hope Apple sees the world as it is, this time when designing their maps!

BlackBerry on a Shift with BB10

Blackberry has left the old fashioned phones and are on the verge of introducing an entirely new Cell phone range. With the BB10 all touch smart phone in the BlackBerry line-up, we could expect a hell lot of improvement. A totally fresh design topped with an entirely new OS is gathering all the attention it deserves and of all the new OS coming in 2013 every one is more than happy to put their money on BB OS.

The Reason why this phone is ranked so high on most awaited cell phones list is that it is claimed to have "a large catalog of the leading applications from across the globe and across all categories". Also the security level is set to max with a FIPS 140-2 certification, so no more worry about any kind of security lope hole.
The phone is slim, sexy and powerful, what else do you need in a cell phone? It is previously reported that a 720p resolution screen will charm the BB10 and the BB10 Aristo device is rumored to have a quad-core krait and a 4.65" screen but it still remains a mystery.

What we do know is that BlackBerry are pretty eager to launch the BB10 in the international markets, with an affordable price and a pretty great OS on 30th January 2013. Lets Hope so! :)
