- [NextBit Robin Battery Life Review](https://bitdynasty.com/2016/03/nextbit-robin-battery-life-review/) - Looking at other NextBit Robin reviews no one was particularly impressed by the battery life if offered. It was largely labelled as 'OK' or 'Fine' which I didn't find very helpful therefore I decided to perform a test on my own by comparing it to iPhone 6, Galaxy S5, Lumia 930 and HTC One ME. Read on to find out the results.
- [NextBit Robin Camera Review](https://bitdynasty.com/2016/03/nextbit-robin-camera-review/) - After a 5 month wait I finally got my Robin last week and I am overall very happy with the phone. There were lots of reviews coming out last month, none of them too impressed with Robin's camera performance. So, I decided to conduct one myself to really so how well it competes with some of the popular smartphones out there.
- [HTC One X in UK lands Google Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and HTC Sense 4+ update](https://bitdynasty.com/2012/12/htc-one-x-in-uk-lands-google-android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-and-htc-sense-4-update/) - It's been nearly a couple of months since HTC started rolling out the Jelly Bean and Sense 4+ update for HTC One X and looks like the wait is finally over for the UK SIM-free models as ours just got updated. Hope everyone else gets updated soon as there have been a few welcome features that you will probably appreciate. Check the screenshots and what's new after the break.
- [How to disable Google Chrome notifications icon in taskbar](https://bitdynasty.com/2014/10/how-to-disable-google-chrome-notifications-icon-in-taskbar/) - There is nothing in the Windows taskbar that bothers me more than unnecessary notification icons. I like my taskbar clean, displaying only the system icons. In fact I even disable the Action center icon. So I was annoyed when a Notifications and Background icons for Google Chrome appeared. Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4,... oh wait we are not talking about Lebron here. Back to Chrome - so not 1 but 2 icons appeared after a Chrome updated itself.
- [Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on Asus Transformer Prime](https://bitdynasty.com/2011/11/google-android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-on-asus-transformer-prime/) - We have already seen a healthy helping of both Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on smarpthones and the Asus Transformer Prime tablet but this is the first the we saw Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in action on a tablet and what a tablet it is - a quad core nVidia Tegra 3 processor that nVidia figures is as powerful as a bottom shelf Intel Dual Core mobile processor.
- [Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Review](https://bitdynasty.com/2011/12/google-android-4-0-ice-cream-sandwich-review/) - With Galaxy Nexus smartphone released into the wild reviews of the new Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich started popping up on the web. By far the most in-depth review we have seen was done by our friends over at Engadet.

There were only a couple of issues with it to earn a recommendation over a MacBook Air. The use of glossy plastics on the inside which not only looked a bit cheap but was a finger print magnet as well and the fact that even though it cost £1,300 did not pack a high resolution display.
- [Could Asus' PadFone mean gigantic storage on smartphones](https://bitdynasty.com/2012/03/could-asus-padfone-mean-gigantic-storage-on-smartphones/) - The Asus PadFone has already set the smartphone world abuzz. A device that links with a tablet it is a hybrid between a smartphone and a tablet device. But could it change the way we see media storage on mobile phones from now on?
- [Budget Friendly Smartphones](https://bitdynasty.com/2012/04/budget-friendly-smartphones/) - It seems like the latest smartphones come with a rather lofty price tag. With today’s economy, many consumers are on tight budgets. While they want smartphones, they simply cannot afford the high price tag that comes with many of the latest models. However, there are some cheap mobile phones that can serve the same purpose without a huge expense; check out the following mobile phone reviews and see if any are right for you.
- [HP EliteBook Folio 9470m announced](https://bitdynasty.com/2012/05/hp-elitebook-folio-9470m-announced/) - Not so long ago HP unveiled its first ultrabook the HP Folio 13 which was more targeted at the consumer market. Coinciding with the Intel Ivy Bridge platform HP release an ultrabook aimed specifically at the business segment with HP EliteBook Folio 9470m. It's slighltly larger the Folio 13 as it's packing a 14 inch screen which made space for an exra set of keys on the right side where HP decided to stick in the 'home', 'page up', 'page down' and 'end' keys while also expanding the 'left arrow' and 'right arrow' keys.
- [HP Envy Spectre XT announced](https://bitdynasty.com/2012/05/hp-envy-spectre-xt-announced/) - Along the EliteBook Folio 9470m HP also announced a new addition to the Envy Spectre ultrabooks series with the 13.3 inch XT ultrabook. The HP Envy Spectre XT will not share the glass chassis design with it's bigger brother but rather follow the other ultrabooks with an aluminium body. Unlike the EliteBook Folio 9470m we do have pricing and availability details for the UK. It should hit the stores end of June starting at £899.
- [HTC One X and One S new software updates available](https://bitdynasty.com/2012/05/htc-one-x-and-one-s-new-software-updates-available/) - We were positively surprised when a second software update within the past month popped-up on our HTC One X. It's not that there is something horribly wrong with it but a new update can't hurt. Being optimistic we then checked if there was an update for our HTC One S available as well and it was indeed.
- [HTC Desire C video hands-on](https://bitdynasty.com/2012/05/htc-desire-c-video-hands-on/) - If you are interested in buying a new HTC One phone but can't just manage to shell out about £250 for the cheapest model the HTC One V SIM Free then HTC just might have an even cheaper alternative. The HTC Desire C is not a member of the One series but it does look like one. With a 3.5 inch screen, 600 MHz and somewhat low resolution of 480x320 pixels it looks to us like a hybrid of HTC One X design and HTC Wildfire S spec sheet and pricing.

Sadly no word on the official pricing just yet but at least there is a video available on YouTube showing off the new UI.

That's why we decided to share some of our favourite 'desktop' features to show that Windows 8 does bring improvements to the desktop interface as well.
