Face unlock in Samsung Galaxy Nexus

New way of unlocking our device. we have seen the bio metric thumb recognition in the Motorola Atrix. Now the Samsung and Google had a new way of unlocking the device with the face recognition in the upcoming beast Samsung Galaxy Nexus. This made possible with the new announced Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.Actually we can set up the face unlock from the settings and we can also keep the unlock pattern if we have the second thought. Because if the lighting conditions are absoultely fine there wont be any issue of face detection. If there is not an enough light to recongize your face then this pattern lock would be taking the chance to unlock the device. And most of people might be afraid what would happen if the device would unlock on showing the picture of the person. Google had assured us they have already taken care for that. And also said it wont recognize the picture if you show to the front facing camera.Pretty cool..Check this video. How to unlock the device.

Android was the only platform which updated their new looks without getting us bored on seeing the same old look on our smart phones.

Anytime Android would try to do the things in innovative way they stepped ahead an introduced the facaial recognition to unlock the phone.

WebBrowser: This was improved a lot when compared to the previous versions of the stock browser. Now we can save the webpages from it. and also improved multi tasking to the new windows. And another major update was we can open the web browser in the Incognito mode so many people was not interested to see other people what they have opened through. where no history was saved on the application. And the browser was so fast when compared to the previous version.

Camera: we can actually open the camera app without unlocking the device which was probably seen on the other devices too.But in this camera app we can actually see pretty new features like continous autofocus while video recording and also can detect the face detection and which can shoot in panaroma mode. and also snapshot while recording in time lapse video shooting. 

By this features we can actually thing google are not backing down they are keep on making smiles forever.From this updates we can actually think they are some more features which are not introduced now they will keep on updating the whole new features with whole new interface.

Drop Test of Samsung Galaxy s2 and iPhone4S

iPhone4s started rolling out and had sold about 4 million in three days.Pretty cool.If you actually own it please dont try this thing, small comparison from the Samsung Galaxy s2 and iPhone4s which could last long in this drop test.Actually it is the fight between the plastic and glass which could make your mind upset if you are a Apple Fan lover. Samsung Galaxy S2 managed with small scratches on it. But the iPhone4s couldn't make it.Actually Siri was pretty scared on drop test what to do..Just kidding..

Two phones were done the test with the three tests with the waist height and shoulder height and face down drop height.So as the leading Smartphone in the world took the chance of dropping on the ground.It couldn't actually survived in the back part of it.The Glass was damaged.The Second Test was done with a shoulder height it managed to drop on the corner of it.So no breakage just a little scratches, here comes to the third drop test the face down drop test. This test made us Sad. The Front glass of the iPhone4s didn't survive in this test. The Glass just broke down. Exactly the same three tests are been done to the Samsung Galaxy S2, it managed to pass all the rounds with high marks.If you want to test it be sure it was insured or try to pay some extra bucks to get a case, So it might be the best choice not to see our device and our heart heartbroken when it gets dropped from our hands.
