Google prepping Social Gaming app for Android
After launching an app store specifically for Android devices, Google has now set its eyes on the social gaming for Android devices. Business Insider reported that Google is working on a social gaming app for Android platform with achievements system. Under this achievements system, the registered gamers will get awards and trophies for attaining certain goals in the games. No fixed timelines were shared for this app’s announcement but we expect to hear more details at the Google I/O Conference in early June.
Back in March, The Mobile Indian reported about Google’s plans to work on a unified gaming platform. The objective was to connect the web browser (HTML5) based games with Android platform based games.
Google is now planning to launch a social gaming and achievements system which in away might be similar to the Apple Game Center. A person familiar with the developments informed Business Insider that the social gaming app will include leaderboards, achievements system, trophies, awards and have social aspect to it.
The Google’s Social Gaming app will connect all Android based device users to one common platform for updating their scores and sharing achievements unlocked with others. As of now, the challenge for Google is to bring this Social “Achievements” System and implement with already existing games and new ones in the anvil.
At the upcoming Google I/O conference, Google is expected to show the next major Android 5.0 Jelly Bean operating system. Google is also expected to make the API (Application Programming Interface) of the social gaming app available to the game developers.
Google’s group product manager, Punit Soni did promise a unified social and mobile gaming experience for consumers. In a nutshell, Google will get into games and that will also integrated the social achievements system.
Google’s move will be closely compared with the Apple’s existing Game Center.

Research In Motion have announced a sole handset release for the United Kingdom this year; the BlackBerry Curve 9320. In this latest blog, we explain why the future might be looking up for BlackBerry in 2012.
The Curve 9320 is not targeted to compete against the smartphone elite such as the Samsung Galaxy S3, Apple iPhone or HTC One X. Rather RIM’s focus is to provide a mobile for customers who are purchasing a smartphone for the first time. Glancing over the features, the BlackBerry Curve 9320 also appears to look great for existing Curve fans who desire a boost in speed and functionality.
Social Features with BBM
What are the key features about the BlackBerry Curve 9320? Well it was built to have your social life at your fingertips! With a dedicated BlackBerry Messenger key located on the site of the handset, you can shortcut straight to your friends in seconds. BBM has seen some great improvements over the last few updates with the inclusion of BBM Music; where you’re allowed a playlist of 50 songs per month plus all your BBM friends music too! Even if you get bored of your friends music, this BlackBerry device for 2012, has an FM radio so you can keep tuned into the latest sounds.Those who are worried about slow internet speed on the latest BlackBerry Curve 9320, shouldn’t panic as the 3G and Wi-Fi internet access ensure you can Tweet and Facebook at a reliable speed.
BlackBerry Curve 9320 overview
On the surface, the BlackBerry Curve 9320 holds a petite 2.44 inch non touch display with the familiar QWERTY keypad and touch sensitive optical trackpad combo. It’s a safe design that feels sturdy and secure. Under the bonnet there’s a 512 MB processor, offering twice the oomph of the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 and 8520. There’s even a 3.2 megapixel snapper with flash and video recording so you can show your friends across your social media channels, exactly what you’ve been up. The removable 1450 mAh battery also appears efficient, offering 18 days standby time and up to 30 hours continuous music playback. With the latest BlackBerry OS 7.1 preloaded on the Curve 9320 you can control your power output with the Battery Saving Mode app; designed to automatically reduce brightness settings and connectivity at a threshold set by you.
Release date?
Expect the BlackBerry Curve 9320 to be available in June.
The BlackBerry Curve 9320 mobile phone by all means won’t impress those seeking a top of the range smartphone; that’s not its purpose.

Samsung Galaxy SIII users to get 50 GB free Dropbox storage
Korean consumer electronics giant, Samsung has announced an exciting offer for Galaxy SIII buyers. Under this offer, every Galaxy SIII buyer will get 50 GB of free cloud based storage for their devices from Dropbox. Earlier, HTC had also announced a similar offer under which HTC smartphone users were offered 25 GB worth of free cloud storage space from Dropbox.
But this is not a new move as many smartphone service providers have already offering cloud services. For example, Apple is offering cloud services through its iCloud, while Microsoft has Skydrive and now Google has also started offering 5 GB of free cloud storage space for Android powered devices via Google Drive.
By using Dropbox, Galaxy SIII users can share files, documents, pictures, videos songs and any other data across various devices. Along with this, Dropbox also allows users to create and share public libraries with others by invitation or by directly posting links of popular websites like Facebook and Twitter.
Dropbox application is available on iOS , BlackBerry and Android platforms for free and provides up to 2 GB of data storage space. But Samsung Galaxy SIII users will be getting a massive 50 GB of storage space which otherwise attracts a huge annual fee if taken as a subscription. But the service will only be valid for a period of 24 months maximum. After that the Samsung Galaxy SIII users will also have to pay for the storage space if they would like to continue with the subscription.

Samsung Galaxy S III Hands On
Following our brief introduction to the Samsung Galaxy S III at Earls Court we were fortunate enough to be invited to the company’s HQ to get to know the much-anticipated handset a little better. The Korean manufacturer has clearly set out to ensure that the S III is the most cutting edge smartphone in the world, so it was with some excitement that we headed to Samsung in order to really get to grips with the device.
Key Features
- Quad-core processor
- 4.8” HD Super AMOLED display
- 16/32/64GB internal storage options
- 8MP camera with burst mode
- 1080p HD video recording
- 8.6mm thickness
- 133g weight
- Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS
With its curved edges and smooth finish, the Galaxy S III certainly lives up to its billing as ‘designed by nature’. The device feels comfortable, if a little underweight, in the hand and cuts a minimal outline in the pocket thanks in no small part to its svelte 8.6mm thick frame.
We were dazzled by the 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display when we tried a unit at the launch event and after a little more time with it we can safely say this is one the best screens seen on a smartphone to date. Colours are vibrant but realistic and the contrast is second to none, providing a totally immersive experience whether browsing images or watching video.
The stunning display provides the perfect platform to show off the all new TouchWiz Nature UI, an interface which offers the user a vibrant yet familiar experience. Android Ice Cream Sandwich is unsurprisingly the operating system of choice for the S III, with the handset’s powerhouse 1.4GHz quad-core processor dealing with the platform without lag or any sluggishness in menu browsing.
The on-board camera is an 8 megapixel unit which includes a number of great features such as burst mode and zero shutter lag. One particularly interesting feature is the Best Shot function which allows the user to capture 8 images in a mini burst with the camera app itself then auto selecting the best shot. Full HD 1080p video recording is also possible on the device, with a reduced quality mode available if required.
A major selling point for the Galaxy S III is the idea that the phone is both intuitive and effortless and much of this is ideology manifests itself via the software on the device. One such feature is the Pop-up Play video functionality which allows the watching of video content while carrying out other tasks at the same time. With multitasking considered an incredibly important aspect of today’s flagship smartphones, Pop-up Video is sure to grab the S III a number of headlines.
S-Voice, a competitor to Apple’s Siri, is another intuitive feature and offers the user various ways to interact with the device using voice recognition. Particularly impressive is the ability to unlock the phone by simply speaking to it, with options also included to personalise the phrase used to ‘wake’ the handset.
Some other intuitive features that we only had the time to glance over include Allshare Play, which uses DL NA and the internet to connect the S III wirelessly to your other personal devices, and Direct Call, which uses motion recognition to make answering calls as simple as moving the handset up to your ear.
With functionality at the top of the priority list for Samsung, there is a host of features we did not have the time to test out during our brief visit. However, we are really looking forward to spending some extended time with the device and as soon as we do you can expect a full review right here on the Dialaphone blog.

Samsung Galaxy S3 vs Apple iPhone 4S
This week saw the unveiling of Samsung’s flagship new handset, the Samsung Galaxy S3. Following last month’s announcement that Samsung have overtaken Nokia as the world’s largest mobile manufacturers – they shipped 93 million phones in the first quarter of 2012 – the S3 looks set to cement their position as market leader. It also lands a considerable blow to their nearest smartphone rival, the Apple iPhone 4S.
Apple’s next release is thought to be the iPhone 5, but this isn’t expected until the end of summer at the earliest. This means the iPhone 4S will have to hold its own against the mighty Samsung Galaxy S3 deals for the best part of 2012. But has the current iPhone got what it takes to compete with Samsung’s new smartphone behemoth?
Under The Hood
A quick look at internal specs show just how powerful both handsets are. Running on a 800 MHz dual-core Apple A5 processor, and with 512 MB of memory, the iPhone 4S has impressed us with its smooth user experience, fast processing speeds, and ease of multitasking. It would appear, however, that the dual core processor may soon be out-dated, as quad-core processors begin to infiltrate the smartphone market. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is at the forefront of the quad-core revolution, packing in a 1.4 GHz quad-core processor to make it one of the most powerful smartphones on the market. The Galaxy S3’s 1GB of memory also trumps the iPhone 4S’s 512 MB, making it both powerful and lightning fast. Weighing in at just 133g, all this power is concealed in a package that is 7g lighter than the iPhone, meaning you can carry around one of the most powerful smartphones in the world, without even noticing it’s in your pocket.
Does Size Matter?
The success of Samsung’s recent smartphone/tablet hybrid, the Samsung Galaxy Note proved one thing – smartphone users like a big screen. From games to browsing to watching videos, people like to see their multimedia on large shiny HD display. Samsung have taken note (no pun intended), and beefed the Galaxy’s screen from the 4.3 inches of the S2 up to an impressive 4.8inches for the S3. The screen itself has been pushed closer to the edge of the handset, resulting in a much larger display without drastically increasing the size of the phone, and dwarfing the 3.5 inch display of the iPhone 4S.
As well as the size of the screen, a pin sharp HD resolution also adds to the desirability of any smartphone, and both handsets hold their own in this particular arena. The awesome Retina display of the iPhone 4S packs in a 326ppi pixel density, which offers a screen as clear as crystal. Not too far behind is the Samsung Galaxy S3, with a 306ppi pixel density on its new Amoled screen (for any acronym fans, that stands for Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode), which also offers a striking HD display. With the both handsets offering such stunning visuals, the sheer size of the Galaxy S3’s screen really does make the most of its high resolution display, and we’ll be surprised if the new iPhone doesn’t appear with an extra inch or so in the screen department.
You Talkin’ To Me?
No cutting-edge smartphone is complete without its own array of unique features and innovations. The main talking point of the iPhone 4S was the inclusion of Siri, which utilises voice recognition software to carry out a range of functions, as well as using the phone’s internet access to answer questions spoken by the user. Committed to keeping up with the neighbours, The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes with a new voice activation interface dubbed as S Voice. While this may not be as advanced as Siri, it does allow spoken instructions to activate many of the phone’s functions, such as playing music, sending texts or emails, and taking photographs.
But the Samsung Galaxy S3 doesn’t just know when you’re talking to it, it also knows when you’re looking at it. The 1.9 megapixel front camera also comes with eye-recognition software, which means that the phone won’t lock or go dark so long as it can see you’re looking at it. Whether this will turn out to be a useful innovation or a battery draining annoyance remains to be seen, but it proves that Samsung are committed to staying on the cutting edge of smartphone advances. Read on how the Apple iPhone 5 technology may change everything.
Head to head
With the Galaxy S3, Samsung have proved once again why they’re dominating the smartphone market, and have delivered a product that will be valuable in retaining their crown. The Galaxy S2 was one of the bestselling handsets of the past year, and we’ll eat our quad-core processor if the S3 doesn’t follow the same trend. With a range of impressive specs and new innovations, the new iPhone release later this year has a lot to live up to if Apple are to match the high benchmark set by Samsung with the Galaxy S3.
