BlackBerry N-Series leaked, again
We’ve already seen the first glimpse of the upcoming BlackBerry N-Series phones, which will combine a touchscreen with a Bold-like QWERTY keyboard. Now we have another image to show you, this one looking much better than the previous blurry shot. According to N4BB — and as we’ve heard before — RIM will call this baby BlackBerry X10. We’re still not sure whether only a single such device will be released or Canadian company will have an array of these (it’s a “series” after all). The official launch date is a … Read more

India’s Videocon offers 10.1-inch Jelly Bean tablet for $200
Here’s one of those tablets that could help push the whole category toward the mainstream users. The newly launched VT10 has been launched by India’s Videocon, offering a 10.1-inch tablet that runs Jelly Bean for 11,200 Rupees, the amount that translates into about $205. I would say that’s a rather good deal since this baby can run (practically) the latest version of Android. Specs wise, the VT10 rocks Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8GB of built-in storage, while that IPS screen comes with resolution of 1280×800 … Read more

Huawei Ascend Mate shows its face, again
Once again we can see the soon-to-be-launched Huawei Ascend Mate showing its face. This time, however, it’s not being flashed by the company’s CEO, but we don’t mind. Plus we also have one of the upcoming ads to show you which highlights the phablet’s huge screen comparing it to “some other” device that has a 5.5-inch display. Yup, that’s the Samsung Galaxy Note II Huawei is trying to mock. And it has a reason, as its device not only has a bigger screen, but also a full HD one, while … Read more

Sony Xperia X (Odin) is a dual-SIM version of the Xperia Z (Yuga)?
We’ve already told you about both the upcoming Sony Xperia X (Odin) and Xperia Z (Yuga). We’re now hearing that the former is actually a dual-SIM version of the Xperia Z. But, it’s not that simple with that second SIM card demanding few design changes. Apparently, the Xperia X will be thicker, heavier and ultimately uglier device. Moreover, it will also come with a different design on the back, featuring a “rough” texture with stripes reminiscent of those seen on the Xperia E Dual. In addition, the Xperia X may … Read more
