The first device comes with a 4.5-inch qHD screen, 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 dual-core processor, BoomSound front speakers, 5-megapixel camera and LTE connectivity support (in markets where that makes sense).

Just when we thought Acer isn’t interested to compete in the higher ends of the market, the company surprised us with its new Liquid S2 phablet, touting it as the first handset with 4K Ultra HD recording capability. This means 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is pretty impressive. That camera has a 13-megapixel sensor, while…
Samsung has announced the LTE-enabled version of its Galaxy S4 Zoom camera-phone for Europe. As you would imagine, it’s the same device that was already selling on the Old Continent with an added 4G radio, allowing for greater download and upload speeds.

Well, what do you know. Despite the fact that the original Ascend Mate isn’t widely available — quite the contrary — Huawei is working on its successor. The Chinese company’s phablet is offered by Vodafone UK and (we guess) few other smaller carriers around the world. Perhaps its Huawei’s own chip we have to blame…
