iphone 5 but not in inches

have you ever thought why the iphone 5 has a 4" inch display only ?
the iphone 5 has a 4inch display and the iphone 4 had a 3.5 inch screen while all its rivals have at least 5"or more offerings.
Apparently, apple is now a days testing large screen iphones with some design going as large as six inches. According to sources, Apple is believed to be particularly interested in 4.8 inch screens as rival samsung unveiled its latest galaxy note smartphone with a 5.7" screen .

The first thing you will notice once you handle these phones is “these phones are gigantic or u can say phablatic”. You guys won’t believe in front of these giant phones even the galaxy s4 looks puny.

BlackBerry Messenger to come pre-loaded on rival smartphones.

BlackBerry has already announced that it will be rolling out its BlackBerry messenger app (BBM) to other platforms such as Android and iOS. However, I have no idea when we can expect these smartphones to be available in the market.
As we all know  BBM is a popular instant messaging application that lets BlackBerry users seamlessly exchange texts, audio, videos and pictures with each other.

Rite now, there are plenty of rival applications such as WeChat, Nimbuzz and WhatsApp, mig 33 in the market. All these rival applications are available across platforms. By making BBM available across platforms, BlackBerry is just trying to expand the reach of this application. The company had rolled out an update for BBM in December 2012, in form of BlackBerry Messenger 7. The most notable addition in the BlackBerry Messenger 7 was that it supported voice calls over Wi-Fi just like skype. BlackBerry had launched a brand new operating system, BlackBerry 10 on January 30. The company has already launched two brand new smartphones, Z10 and Q10 running on this platform. The company is also expected to be working on a new flagship smartphone, which is known to be A10 and is likely to be launched in November 2013. Hopefully on my birthday  :P....

Below are the benchmark comparison of the three smart phones :-

 Below are some benchmark comparisons of the three smartphones:-


·   Quadrant is a CPU & 3D graphics benchmark. The higher the score, the better it is. Here, surprisingly the Xolo X1000 scored the highest whereas the Micromax A116 Canvas HD scored the lowest, despite having the most powerful processor on paper. The Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos landed right in the middle.
·   In NenaMark2, which measures the frames per second performance on the smartphone, Samsung Galaxy Grand emerges as the winner by quite a margin – possibly because of its low-resolution of its display. The Canvas HD comes in second, while the scores of the X1000 are surprisingly low.
·      The AnTuTu Benchmark tests the Memory Performance, CPU Integer Performance, ‘CPU  3D Graphics Performance, SD card reading/writing speed on the smartphone. Once again, with AnTuTu, the higher the score, the better it is- the Canvas HD lands the highest score, with the Galaxy Grand emerging at the bottom. The score of the Xolo X1000, placing in between, is very close to the score that was leaked before the launch of the device and is quite close to the score of the Canvas HD.
·   SmartBench 2012 is a multi-core friendly benchmark application that measures the overall performance of your smartphone. It reports both productivity and gaming indices. Simply put, if you need to run games and heavy duty apps, then SmartBench score should help you decide the device for you. Here there is no surprise that the Canvas HD has come on top and the score of the other smartphones is way behind. The Galaxy Grand comes second and the Xolo X1000 scored the least.
