Gigabyte News
We don’t usually associate Gigabyte with innovation in the mobile industry. Their products are rather mediocre at best, offering a decent feature set for a reasonable amount of cash. The GSmart Simba SX1 fits that description perfectly, but… it also has a “secret trick” no other phone we’re aware of has. And that trick gave…
Not exactly a mobile story as there is no cellular radio included, but it’s somewhat connected, nevertheless… Recently I came across the Gigabyte X11, which the Taiwanese company touts as the world’s lightest ultrabook. Made out of carbon fiber, this portable office weighs just 2.15 points (975 grams), which is less than any other competing…
Gigabyte used the Computex 2012 to show the world it’s still in the smartphone-making game. As a small player in this highly competitive market, they know the differentiation is a key to success. So if it can’t have the fastest devices, Gigabyte can offer the ones for specific user niches, namely those who use more…
Gigabyte will soon unveil a new Android phone – GSmart G1355. What makes this device especially interesting is that it sports both a big screen and two SIM card slots. Usually dual SIM devices (not just smartphones) come in smaller packages, so this is an exception rather than rule. However, the fact that it rocks…
Devices with dual SIM card slots are nothing new, and in fact they’ve been rising in popularity in many of the emerging markets around the world thanks to the brutal price wars that operators are waging, but what is novel and unique is the dual SIM smartphone. These specimens are so rare that whenever we…
Pictures of Gigabyte’s G1305 Android smartphone have surfaced, looking distinctly different from another device we had seen earlier this year. The Codfish, as the G1305 is more curiously known, packs a 5 megapixel camera, 3.2″ touchscreen, and Android 1.6, but no word on pricing or availability. Gigabyte’s other rumoured GSmart handset seems like it will be…
Gigabyte is working on its first Android phone which will most probably become a part in their GSmart series. The name is still unknown, meaning we’ll have to wait for the Mobile World Congress to get all the details. From what we’ve heard, it will be a low-end smartphone that will compete with the HTC…
Check what I’ve found on Vimeo – cool videos exploring UIs of 4 cool devices. Among the demos you’re about to see are such popular devices as Gigabyte g-Smart S1200, Toshiba TG01, Sony Ericsson Idou and LG KM900 Arena. First comes the g-Smart S1200, while the rest is following after the jump. Enjoy!
We told ya it’s coming, and voila… it’s here. I’m talking about Gigabyte’s GSmart S1200, WVGA touchscreen-equipped Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone. As expected, the new device sports an iPhone-like, all-touchscreen form factor, measuring 105.5x52x11.4 mm. Aside from the large, 3.1-inch touchscreen, the S1200’s specs also include HSPA radio, GPS receiver, WiFi, BLuetooth, 3 megapixel camera…
Gigabyte is preparing to roll-out new phones at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We’ve heard the company will unveil the 0.43-inches thick (or that’s thin) GSmart S1200, the all-touchscreen device that runs Windows Mobile 6.1 with Gigabyte’s own UI called Smart Zone on top of it. We don’t have much details at this…
