Which one of this three Beasts is the best choice

Almost one year I'm a proud owner of HTC SensationXE but I can tell that this phone is great one but it starts to be boring a little bit and I thought to upgrade to one of the this three new Quad core phones but I don't want to waste to much money
Now here are the three phones that I'm interested the most and I will start with the one that its seems to me that is not the best choice
Before I start I have to say that for my one year old Sensation XE I can get about 350$ so I'm planning to add about 70 $ in total
Ok the first is LG Nexus 4 

This is great phone with great hardware and also with excellent price form 310$ for 8GB internal memory and 349$ for 16GB
The only disadvantage is that this phone doesn't have slot for memory card and that in all benchmark videos that I have watched on YouTube it has worst results than Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X besides that this phone has better CPU,GPU,RAM and latest Jelly Bean 4.2 than SGS3 and One X
Ok we are going on my next choice

Huawei Honor 2 

This is the one of latest Chinese high end Quad core phones and it has new Quad Core K3V2 CPU (for which one the Chinese claims that is the fastest CPU build in the phones so far and which one I'm doubt a lot),2GB RAM and 8 GB internal storage
This phone is available for just over 300$ 8 GB Internal.storage but this phone unlike Nexus 4 it has memory card slot and support up to 32GB MMC
But the negative thing for this phone is that I can't find what kind of GPU this phone has ( I can read on the net that it has some kind of 16 core GPU for better performance but I can't understand what that's actually means) and the second negative thing is that I can't find any  benchmark video just to check out the performance of that k3V2 CPU and that GPU mentioned earlier
And now we are going with my third option 

Xiaomi MI2 

If this phone was available for buying this would be my choice for sure because by my opinion this is the best of this three
It has the same Quad core cpu,2 GB RAM,Andreno 320 GPU actually it has almost the same hardware under the hood as Nexus 4 but unlike Nexus 4 on all benchmark tests gives almost twices better results and this Xiaomi smokes Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X
Also this phone has low price and you will have to give 319$ for 16GB variant
This one also just.like the previous two has disadvantages and that is :
Dosen't have memory card slot and
It's very very hard to find on the world market
On various sites if you want to have this beast you will have to place an order but non of this sites didn't have this phone in stock and that is more tragically they even don't have idea when will they have
So will have to throw your money and you don't know when you.will get the phone
So what do you think which one is the right choice ????

Another Powerful Phone from China

Just When I thought that I saw the best from China in the terms of mobile World when two days ago I have discovered Another great phone form China. Its about new Huwaei Honor 2 or so called killer of Xiaomi (in case you don't know which phone is Xiaomi click here to found out more)
So why is this phone Great and very powerful? Because under the hood it drives on new Quad core K3V2 HiSilicon processor clocked at 1.4GHz, 2GB of RAM, 4.5 inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen

New Beast smokes SGS 3 and HTC One X

Wow look how new Chinese beast smokes this high end phones 

Video: Samsung Galaxy Reverb vs IPhone 5

One more video review from @CHRISVOSS
He is comparing all aspects of those two phones

IPhone 5 already more used than SGS3

According to analysis by Chitika Insights, conducted in the period October 3 to 9 come to the surprising fact that the iPhone 5, which has been on the market less than two weeks, already exceeded the SGS3 in online trading

 According to the analysis, 56% of Internet traffic had fallen away to a new iPhone 5, and 44% to SGS3 in the comparison between these two models.

 This news is not good for Samsung, which is trying to compete with Apple in the smartphone segment, because once again demonstrates that Apple's products are not only sold better, but far more used of their users.

 This information is particularly important for developers of mobile applications, developers of mobile Web portals and mobile websites, and marketing agencies that is important is not only the number of users, but also their habits.

Apple's shares began to fall because of the rejection of Google Maps

Now I'm writing this post basing on two sources bellow in this post 
Also I'm not writing this post because i heat Apple 

On many blogs/forums(especially on Nokia forums) in topics about Maps there is discussion if the Maps are so crucial for smart phones. Because the business is measured by the money here in concrete numbers how Maps are important for Apple iPhone 5.
On 21.09 when Afon 5 came out shares reached a record of  $ 700. Today shares are $ 650. That's a drop of 7%. If current value of  Apple's shares on  market is 611b $ with easy math we can calculate and we will  reach the lost of whole 49b $. Or like folk said whole $ 49 BILLIONS with the rejection of Google maps.
  
Source 


 All finaskiski analysts as a major problem mentioned problem with maps and even a few that have emerged, but the maps are the main problem for investors.

Sorce 


On this can be added the position of Tim Cook who publicly apologized that the maps are complete fiasco and advised users to use other maps. If Steve Jobs was alive he never would admit this. By recognizing their inability to make a competitive product on market is reflected immediately.

Sony Xperia Ion (on ICS 4.0.4) vs IPhone 4S (IOS 6)

In this video @CHRISVOSS compares camera,browser,screen. Basically he will compare almost every aspect of this two phones and he will run some benchmark tests as well 

Android Gingerbread (2 years old) vs iOS 6 (2012)

Look at the things that Android had a long time ago ,but people with Iphones are enjoying now

Android, group application installation

This is mostly for those who frequently change ROMs. We know that when you install a new ROM then, naturally, it is necessary to install the applications that we need. Google Play although it facilitates this process of application installation  on smartphones directly from the computer, however, this process can be further simplified.
The process can be simplified so that you create. Zip file with all the necessary applications and the same file will install through recovery, with all applications it will be installed once.


 Required tools:

-Installed Java Runtime Environment(JRE) on your PC (OS it doesn't matter but the link is for Windows)
-Aroma App Package Creator (download .jnlp file {Java executive file})
-Installed Touch Recovery on your Phone (its not been tested with regular recovery 4EXT REcovery Touch;
-7Zip optional
-calibration zip also optimal

Procedure:


You need to first install the JRE on your computer. After you install, turn on the program Aroma App Package Creator.
 The procedure is very simple. First create a group of programs,in the  image bellow the group is named Programi, then add applications. Enter the name of the application, and with the button "Browse"  load the application. Once you add all the programs that you need, from the field Calibration choose your phone model. If your model is not in the list will have to choose Custom and manually enter the digits calibration on the display. The digits you will find using the tool calibration.zip after will include in recovery.The procedure is described in the link.
Once you do as described then you can click the "Create" to save it. Zip file with the programs.

 
Update the programs in the package:

The creator of the program announced that will add function to read already-made packages with a view to their amendment, but it has not happened. Until then, if update for some of the apps that is already in your package, you will  not have to repeat this procedure again.
All you have to do is to run 7Zip and to open your saved  Zip package and track data> XXXX (where XXXX is the name of the apps folder) to replace alredy existing .Apk file with the newer version.
You can also in already existing  folder to add more. Apk files. It is very important. that in .apk files names to not have empty spaces . When you add .apk files in the package with Aroma Package,the software automatically deletes empty spaces, but if you add manually through 7Zip you  need to delete the spaces by your self before you add them to the package.

 Installation of the created package  :

You can install the package via recovery mod of your phone in the same way like you install new Rom.You can install the package after the installation of new Rom without restarting the phone
