As part of the strategy to make its devices more secure than those made by competing handset makers, BlackBerry plans to establish the “Security Innovation Center” in Washington, D.C.

Aside from those smart TVs, Hisense also had a big smartphone on display at CES. The phablet marked as X1 is one huge device that (size-wise) reminds us on ASUS Fonepad. It comes with a super-big 6.8-inch full HD screen, pretty much requiring a bag to be carried around. The good thing is that it’s…

Marked as RoadMate 5430T-LM, this model is powered by Android, featuring 5-inch EasyTouch touch screen which we’ll take for capacitive touchscreen.
