Ultra-Thin Samsung 900X3A Specifications (specs)

Since 1985, the world's first laptop computer came, and now the notebook market, "thousand flowers lit a hundred schools contend", in this 26 years from a high-end laptop in the hands of business people into a luxury home in the civilian population "3C" necessity, in which the process can be described as difficult. Today, laptops have such a market position, companies can not do without each tireless research and development and innovation. It is precisely because of their efforts, this laptop can only be limited in two decades, increasing performance, while the body is growing in light, in the development of these two extreme opposite direction, soaked in numerous engineers, sweat and proud wisdom.

The field of ultra-thin notebook is undoubtedly the various manufacturers to demonstrate their skill of designing and manufacturing the best stage, by the people in this stage there is no lack of attention the birth of some classic landmark models. X-Series from Sony to Apple that can be put into the manila envelope inside the MacBook Air, notebook manufacturers put on the field, "the legendary blade," seems to indicate that people in the future, the ultimate form of notebook. Samsung today also joined the "legendary blade," the team, is offering a samsung 900X3A great to catch up the trend of its predecessors. Compared to Sony's X series and the MacBook Air's straight line design, 900X3A streamlined look even more stylish and unique, second-generation Core Duo processor, adding i5 is a strong driving force for injection.

The main specification of  Samsung: 900X3A-A01

If the MacBook Air is pure white interpretation to the classic beauty, then the Samsung 900X3A is a truly a "black-faced Man", the species with a deep body bottomless black sky, the more it sets ultra-thin machine Add a touch of mystery-type atmosphere.

Body cover made of high strength aerospace aluminum alloy, that is, and the space shuttle on the use of shell material, the strong and lightweight, is evident. From a practical experience, this high-strength aerospace aluminum alloy touch feel very good, hand on the top there is a feeling and cool in the winter use of this become clear, of course, so that the whole body cooling for provides a good condition.

After a survey, Samsung 900X3A body thickness of only 17.01mm, than the "Blade Legend" MacBook Air thinner 0.8mm. So thin in order to complete the interface built into the fuselage, Samsung 900X3A used as the first generation MacBook Air clamshell hidden interface design.
The choice of the interface is all kinds of way to the light, MicroSD card reader, mini-HDMI interface, which will appear only on the phone type of interface has appeared in the Samsung 900X3A above eye-popping. Ethernet cable is replaced by a switch to Samsung's exclusive small interface. USB interface to the left and right are 3.0 and 2.0 standards, complete in terms of the interface than the Samsung 900X3A Air stronger.

Cooling holes will be placed in the back of the fuselage has become a thin shaft of the cooling trend the way, Samsung 900X3A also learned the essence of Air, but has not done a thorough, bottom of the fuselage was set aside two rows of cooling holes. After all, the fuselage has done so thin, Samsung is not the electronic products such as Steve Jobs to do the geeks work of art can do that can be considered a big breakthrough. By convention we will use later specialized thermal imaging device to test its thermal performance.

Samsung 900X3A weight of the body weight was 1.325kg and travel and 1.495kg, compared to the first generation MacBook Air, also slightly ahead of the weight of 1.375kg. Samsung 900X3A notebook comes with a leather protective cover, carrying it into the sleeve, and if no one told you, did not know was that was inside a laptop. To work with Samsung 900X3A can certainly let you move forward with ease.
Chapter Summary: As a super-light of this, Samsung 900X3A in the materials used can be described as a luxury. The addition of high-strength aerospace aluminum alloy to ensure solid body at the same time, weight control in the ultra-thin levels. Worthy of commendation is the kind of range of the interface is superior to the MacBook Air, USB3.0 interface, adding even more amazing.

Using a 13.3-inch 1366 × 768 resolution LED screen, Samsung 900X3A open angle of the screen is not large, LED rubber pads around the edge of the screen, the screen force uniform, played the role of the buffer. Samsung 900X3A using a 400 nits ultra-bright 13.3-inch glare-definition (1366 × 768) LED screen, showing very good results.

When first saw the Samsung 900X3A the keyboard, gave us the feeling is familiar. After the trial we found that either hit or touch the distribution and size of keys and the MacBook Air is very similar. The first row of function keys, especially the size and distribution, 80% of the overlap. Of course, from the hand perspective, Samsung 900X3A key process moderate bond length is reasonable, is relatively satisfactory.

It seems in control of the Samsung 900X3A style should be in the end of the MacBook. Scrub pad material is not a physical button, the touch pad area than the MacBook Air a little bit too small. Or the actual existence of left and right buttons, but the entire touch pad support, the process will exist in the key touch operation, positioning operation so there will be turnovers. This touch pad found in many current laptops, the design is open to question.

How to design such a thin and light notebook is indeed the position of speaker is a relatively big problem. Samsung 900X3A to its innovative design of the fuselage on both sides of the edge in a very secluded location, it arranged several sound holes. Love is not flattered by the actual effect, that is, the effect of the speaker, after all, the thickness body out there, we can not too demanding.

Samsung 900X3A the location of concentrated light, is located right above the keyboard, power button on the left. From right to left is power, power status and hard disk / drive indicator. The penultimate hole is the microphone.
The outside is a light sensor, the sensor detects the surrounding illumination PC. If dim ambient illumination, LCD will become darker, the keyboard backlight will light up. Conversely, if the ambient illumination lights, LCD will become brighter, the keyboard backlight turned off.
This design is easy to know their customers at a glance the operational status of the machine.

As ultra-thin notebooks, Samsung 900X3A not everyone carries it out anyway, and the fate of the MacBook Air for comparison, but really put together to compare two products together, or really have a lot of different points.

Processor information; For such an ultra-thin notebook, in order to minimize heat dissipation and extend battery life, can also only be used in ultra-low voltage processor. Samsung 900X3A is clocked at 1.4GHz using the Intel Core i5 2537M processor, the maximum frequency of up to Core 2.3GHz. The 32-nanometer manufacturing process, the maximum thermal power consumption is only 17W. Have 3MB of level three cache, support for Hyper-Threading Technology, it is a dual core 4 thread.

Samsung Samsung 900X3A produced by a single 4GB DDR3-1333 memory, so memory capacity sufficient to ensure the application of ultra-thin and smooth running of the base, the user no need to upgrade the memory (actually want to upgrade is not an easy task.)

HD Tune test results, Samsung Samsung 900X3A own production using a 2.5-inch 128GB SSD. Average and burst read rates of 179.0MB / s, 76.3MB / s, seek time is 0.2ms, and the tests did not detect the hard disk temperature. Test data from the point of view, the performance of the 128GB SSD market has far exceeded the performance of any mechanical hard drive. We actually process the switch, obviously feel the switch speed very quickly compared to traditional models.

Scores from the Windows 7 experience, we can see, the SSD has achieved ultra-high score of 7.4 points (out of 7.9), while the minimum separation of 2D graphical items now, core graphics just scored 4.6 points. Quite satisfactory scores of other projects, the processor also scored low, with only 5.2 points.

Although the size and power constraints, the performance of the processor and display performance is not very satisfactory. But the above results for an ultra-thin models can be said for outstanding, especially the solid-state hard drive performance is praised, but also be made for the lack of balance in other areas.

battery life test, Since the lithium battery Samsung 900X3A built on the motherboard, we have not which specific parameters, according to the official website is a piece of data in its use of six-cell lithium battery. As a result of ultra-low voltage processor, the specific performance of battery life, how exactly, we Windows7 Ultimate 32bit environment, using BatteryMark test it, get the following results.

Imtec Battery Mark This software can test under full load CPU battery life, Samsung 900X3A reached the final 2 hours and 20 minutes of battery life. We do not make daily use has been in a full state of the processor, so the combination of the 3 hours 22 minutes BatteryMark the results of view, Samsung 900X3A everyday use in peacetime to achieve 2 to 3 hours of use should not be a problem.

Processor under full load surface temperature distribution of C

The distribution from the thermal imaging situation, Samsung 900X3A standby heat mainly in the left of the keyboard area and the location of cooling holes, but also the highest 38.5 ℃, the user can still state with a comfortable typing action.

Computing environment to test Samsung 900X3A extreme cooling performance, we also run WinRAR and FurMark both programs, so the CPU and GPU Samsung 900X3A at 100% of the full load condition, in this case for nearly 15 minutes of continuous operation, making the body cooling system in high load operation condition. We then test the thermal imager, C face left of the keyboard together most of the heat, the maximum temperature reached 55.3 degrees Celsius, the palm rest is maintained at relatively cool state, and the bottom of the heat is also not to be underestimated, the highest temperature reached 53.1 degrees Celsius, so we are not recommended for a long time to use Samsung 900X3A on the knees.

When the MacBook Air in front of us, we marvel of the Seven Wonders of Apple's designers, so will not help an ultra-thin MacBook Air as the standard, take him to and the various manufacturers out of ultra-thin models for comparison. Samsung 900X3A in the evaluation today I can not stop when the custom, but in the end it can be concluded: Samsung 900X3A Although slightly better than light and thin fuselage design MacBook Air, one chip, but the heat and battery life or performance on the ground is not very satisfactory But consider that if the MacBook Air install Windows operating system, MacBook Air's battery life compared to the OSX will do a lot worse under the circumstances, we have Samsung's ability 900X3A of life or that of the affirmation.

Price, Samsung 900X3A current price 11,999 yuan, and 13-inch MacBook Air price of Bank Negara 10,999 yuan, so in terms of location and price on these two notebooks are often intertwined with the future will inevitably have to become everyone's conversation, but we can also launch the Samsung 900 series of products to determine the fact in the industry that people still have the strength to challenge the can and Qiao Bangzhu, at least now Samsung is possible.

Sony Ericsson SK17i specifications (specs) with Code Mango 1GHz exposure

Tencent Digital Telecommunications (blue) Sony Ericsson at this year's action is fierce, not only in the early launch of PlayStation games, including mobile phones, including a variety XPERIA series of high-end flagship products, but low-end market for new smart models , also in the intense development. Recently, the Internet has exposed the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 mini PRO successor surfaced again in meager. According to sources, say, the phone code-named "Mango", the next formal model SK17i, expected in May released.

Code Mango
Sony Ericsson SK17i the exposure or the last known XPERIA X10mini PRO2 before the new machines also have had a real machine leaks, the main orientation is introduced as the XPERIA X10mini PRO successors. The information learned from the present, the aircraft will be loaded HVGA resolution 3.0-inch capacitive touch screen and built-in 1GHz processor, and has dedicated Adreno 205 graphics chip, the overall performance than in the past have a great improved.

It is worth mentioning that, before the application for Sony Ericsson, including XPERIA Play, XPERIA Neo, XPERIA Arc and XPERIA Duo, including four new trademark. So, in other machines have been fully unveiled three new cases, the emergence of the XPERIA X10mini PRO2, it seems just to fill the only remaining XPERIA Duo for this vacancy.

Two processor specifications
As we have reported that the aircraft is positioned in the low-end market, although the models, but Sony Ericsson is the processor in the machine or use a very generous use of some high-end models will appear in the 1GHz processor. But also the people expected that this phone is also loaded with a new generation of Adreno 205 graphics chip, which features compared Nexus One And HTC Desire Is equipped with Adreno 200 graphics chip performance increase by 4 times. Thus, exposure of the information in the past, the aircraft gained through performance testing software achievements and carry Android 2.3 scoring system similar to Nexus S is reasonable things.

However, there is news that the aircraft will be loaded 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7230 processor, also embedded Adreno 205 graphics processor. The actual performance of the processor and the actual performance test results from the point of view, in fact, than a lot of 1GHz processors. Therefore, regardless of the kind of processor configuration, Sony Ericsson SK17i multimedia entertainment functions in the city should have excelled.

Joined Sony Music Technology
With other Sony Ericsson's new smart phones, Sony Ericsson SK17i the exposure, will also incorporate more technology from Sony. In addition to rumors of the aircraft in addition to using capacitive multi-touch screen and support, and also equipped with a Sony Bravia LCD screen, the sources said the aircraft also will be integrated into Sony's technology to bring the performance of unusual entertainment .

As for the phone's other features, the machine may also be equipped with Android2.3 system (may also upgrade to this version when available). Built-in 500 million pixel camera with auto focus, LED flash and video recording capabilities, with WCDMA / HSDPA networks and WLAN wireless LAN, GPS navigation, Bluetooth technology, USB connectivity and memory card expansion functions.
Andrew introduced Synchronous Walkman

Sony Ericsson SK17i addition to this, the rumors of the Sony Ericsson Walkman phone Android system will also be in the end of April or May launch. According to informed sources saying that Sony Ericsson is developing the Android system Walkman phone XPERIA X8 version of its next model E16i.

While this Walkman phone is now on the features is poorly understood, but its decision to locate the aircraft or in the hardware configuration is not the number of attractions. Such as may still use 3.0-inch touch screen and built-in HVGA resolution 3.2 million pixel camera, and even the specifications of the processor will continue to maintain the standard of 600MHz, the different parts of the music may be the use of specialized chips, support for lossless compression music format player and have a specially developed touch interface as well as special applications, which reflects the characteristics of its Walkman phone.

Phone Samsung guise S5670 specification (specs) Evaluation

Samsung GALAXY guise, the four mobile phone which has a relatively low-end phones, including the CDMA version of a Samsung i5 59 We also do the related evaluation, uses a QVGA resolution screen, and today we introduce the other a mobile phone with a QVGA resolution, S5670, S5670 unrivaled compared to the previous screen slightly larger than the evaluation of the i559 also some, we can focus look.

Which in this matchless series of two more high-end mobile phone models equipped with the 800MHz processor using a 320 × 480 resolution screen, while the S5670 and C before the evaluation had the i559 screen is QVGA resolution screen and 600MHz processor, although slightly shrunk configuration, but maintain a smooth flow of the process of using the still very good.


3.3-inch body look short board capacitance screen resolution is
Samsung S5670 uses a classic candy bar design touch, the overall body design is black, white version will be listed in addition, will be more than fashion. The phone body measurements are 110.2 × 61.2 × 12.6 mm, and other guise wide range of mobile phones compared to some, so the seeming "stocky."

Show respect S5670 is equipped with a 3.3 inches 16 million colors TFT material capacitive touch screen, resolution is only QVGA, so the display looks a bit rough. But the positive is that this unrivaled series introduced several models have adopted a more superior user experience, the capacitance screen, support for multi-touch functions.

Mobile phone screen has three buttons at the bottom, the middle of the square block of the physical buttons is the main interface keys, two touch buttons on both sides were for the function keys and return key, this part of the design continues the classic style GALAXY guise, the operation is still very easy to use.

Fuselage behind the battery cover with a stripe-like plastic material production, a sense of relatively thick plastic and feel in general, but to reduce the weight of the mobile phone and can effectively play the role of non-slip and wear.

Body at the top of the camera device is the S5670, although the positioning of the machine is not high, but still equipped with a 500 million pixel camera, the i550 compared to the same level of 320 million pixels to be a strong number, while the machine also supports auto-focus, LED photo light without also ensure that there are good imaging results. Finally, the bottom position in the body hole in only a single speaker, the design is relatively simple. It is worth mentioning that the design of this machine is a bit outside the main screen, convex, there is a certain part of the edge of the arc, when used in very good touch.


Around the interface, the perfect combination of 3.5mm + microUSB
Top of the fuselage two devices are interface and 3.5mm headphone jack microUSB, unrivaled range of these phones are supported 3.5mm headset, you can access a wealth of headsets and the data can support the USB power line interface functions, highly practical.

Bottom of the fuselage there is no interface and only one key hole for the call, it seems very modest. From top to bottom in the left side of the fuselage has a volume control key and microSD card slot, the largest native support 16GB of memory cards currently on the market, absolutely enough.


The right side of the fuselage is also very simple, the top is the S5670 unlock / power button, the user in the right time would be more convenient handheld operation, the phone keys are arranged around the edge of the black plastic, so the overall look Yes, does not affect the appearance.

Open the back cover of the phone can see the top of the battery compartment is a SIM card slot, the machine supports in paragraph 186 of China Unicom's 3G WCDMA network standard, the performance was satisfactory.

Battery, the Samsung S5670 K-Swiss, like other several models using the 1350mAh lithium battery, because the machine would be more in terms of hardware is relatively low, it is expected that two days of normal use, there is no problem. The performance of this system in the Android phone which is considered a good job.


Interface, user interface Android2.2 + TouchWiz3.0
Samsung equipped the S5670 GALAXY guise of Android2.2 newer version of smartphone operating system, and joined the Samsung's own Touchwiz3.0 interface, native Android2.2 made on the basis of the system is optimized to make it easier and more user easy to use.

After entering the main screen you can see the process of sliding speed of the machine is still very good, the user can "zoom" the main interface, so that all the main interface is displayed in a summary screen, then quickly switch or remove a very useful function, and is somewhat similar to HTC SENSE. In addition, in the main interface, the user still can add all kinds of useful gadgets, you can also change the system wallpaper here, including some native Android2.2 system dynamic wallpaper. I believe Android system used already familiar friends.

After entering the main menu interface can be seen the shadow of Samsung Touchwiz3.0 interface. The operation of the whole experience is very good, if not the only little doubt that the resolution to the force, but about 1,500 yuan this phone is also really affordable price, we do not request it so high.

Although the S5670 though the whole can be considered an entry-level 3G smart phone, but the main menu when in horizontal sliding speed is still very smooth, cost is still very good, overall performance was satisfactory.


EQ equalizer entertainment features and supports auto focus
First, the music, the Samsung S5670 GALAXY K-Swiss and several other models to consider as detailed, in addition to support for album thumbnails display in addition to support native EQ equalizer adjustment, with the 3.5mm headset phone for the music's overall performance is quite good. We can also try third-party player software, such as Android version of Winamp are also out.

Samsung S5670 The machine built a 500-megapixel camera, although the device does not support the fill light, but the auto focus feature did not make the absence of AF, pretty good, the camera's performance better than the S5660 some.


Camera functions, S5660 supports a rich scene mode and camera mode, such as smile shot, panorama shot and smile recognition, etc. are all available, and users can use auto focus AF function business card recognition software to install, very easy to use

Published in this series of mobile phones among the many K-Swiss, S5660 camera a moderate level of intelligence, because the machine is only equipped with a 500 million pixel camera does not support the fill light, is still lagging behind compared to the current mainstream standard, and good use The AF greatly enhance the usefulness of the machine.


Full-featured, built-in networking features three "Circle"
Samsung S5670 in the network's performance is very good, the first feature to support Wi-Fi wireless Internet connection, users can connect to free high-speed networks, in addition to setting the interface can also see the static IP settings on the options.


Samsung S670 when the Web browser support page of the multi-scale operation, the speed can still be felt during the operation, but in the web browser when a large number of net or will some Caton, it is proposed that the browser you can use third-party applications such as traffic can be saved to improve the user experience.

In addition, the machine is Android2.2 operating system built-in network settings can also see the function of a wireless hotspot AP, you can also share this feature with other mobile terminal access, is a very useful feature.

Finally, it should be mentioned that in this series of Samsung mobile phones have built-in guise of "social circle", "show business" and "pleasure reading circle" feature, which built a network and all network and other fun social SNS and other procedures, we can co-ordinate in an application to manage these information, it is human design.
