We’re still picking up the slack from the IFA show in Berlin. Alcatel One Touch is one of those companies we failed to mention in the last few days; they used their German visit to unveil two interesting products, the Hero 2 phablet and Hero 8 tablet. The first of the two is made to…
Toshiba announced the Encore Mini 7 tablet that runs full-blown Windows 8.1. Inside, this thing packs Intel’s Atom Z3735G processor and just 1GB of RAM, while the included 7-inch screen can handle 1024×600 pixels. There’s also Wi-Fi connectivity support, Bluetooth 4.0, 2-megapixel rear and 0.3 (VGA) front cameras, and 16GB of expandable storage. Yes, with…
When you say Cat, chances are you don’t think about smartphones. That, however, doesn’t stop the company from launching another phone of its own. Or that’s more like borrowing its brand to some phone maker. In any case, the Cat S50 has been announced from the floor of IFA in Berlin, and as you would…
ZTE used the IFA show to unveil a trio of rather unimpressive devices, all catered towards folks on a budget and perhaps first-time smartphone buyers. Let’s quickly dive into all three of these, shall we? ZTE Blade Vec 4G Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core chip clocked at 1.2GHz 5-inch 720p HD screen 1GB of RAM, 16GB…
It’s a Chromebook craze out there with many new companies joining this, still nascent market. Toshiba and HP are among those that have recently updated their offerings; here’s what they came up with… Toshiba’s Chromebook 2 has a 13.3-inch screen and will be available in two different variants: the $249 model packs a 1366×768 display,…
64-Bit processors are the new thing, and Lenovo doesn’t want you to forget it. The hefty processors are just getting their bearings in the Android ecosystem, with the next iteration of Android optimized for those beefy chips. Apple’s A7 processor that lives inside of the iPhone 5S is 64 bit, so it only makes sense…
To say Samsung had a big day at IFA yesterday would be an understatement. Sammy unveiled the Galaxy Note 4, Note Edge and the Edge VR. Samsung let another device slip out at IFA, an 8 inch ruggedized tablet known as the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active. It’s pretty standard fare for Samsung, but interesting nonetheless, and…
Huawei has yet again proven that it has what it takes to compete with Samsung and perhaps even Apple. Their newly announced Ascend Mate7 rocks an all-metal body that makes it look like it’s part of HTC’s One series (yet it isn’t). Moreover, the phablet also packs a fingerprint reader — located at the back,…
Microsoft announced a trio of Nokia Lumia phones, Lumia 830, Lumia 730 and Lumia 735. The first of the pack is the slimmest Nokia Windows Phone device to date, though it’s not a high-end phone by any stretch of imagination. It does introduce Nokia’s awesome camera technology to the mid-range segment and we salute Nokia/Microsoft…
The earlier rumored HTC Desire 820 has been officially announced, and just as we’ve expected – it rocks Qualcomm’s 64-bit Snapdragon 615 SoC. Said chip comes with no less than eight cores, four of which are clocked at 1.5GHz and another four at 1.0GHz. There’s also a 5.5-inch 720p HD screen, 2GB of RAM, 16GB…
