Toshiba has launched two new multimedia notebooks that emphasize design. Both the Toshiba Satellite S50-B-14Z as the Toshiba Satellite S50-B-151 are 15-inch equipment barely two kilos in weight and two inches thick. A very attractive design combined with a range of up to 6.5 hours of use, which makes them an excellent alternative to carry on trips and journeys. Other interesting features of these devices include one of the new Intel Core processors of the fifth generation HD display with brightness of 200 nits or a dedicated graphics card to improve performance in games and graphics applications. These models are available for a starting price of 700 euros. We tell you all the details of these multimedia computers.







 The new equipment of the Toshiba Satellite S50 (Satellite S50-B-14Z and Satellite S50-B-151) range are aimed at multimedia notebooks use a standard format and HD 15.6-inch panel of 1,366 x 768 pixels. Incidentally, this panel comes with a brightness of 200 nits. One of the salient features of these models is the appeal of its design. And the Japanese company has managed to maintain a slim design and light weight with 2 kilos and 2 inches thick. Measures that make them very manageable equipment to take with us in the backpack when we move or go traveling. In terms of appearance, has opted for a typical silver in this type of models.


 In its core we find one of the new Intel Core processors fifth generation. Here we find one of the fundamental differences between the two configurations. The Toshiba Satellite S50-B-151 bet on a Intel Core i5-5200U dual core chip with a power of 2.2 GHz. Through the Turbo Boost technology, can achieve a maximum speed of 2.7 GHz, while with Hyper-Threading working like we have four physical cores. Meanwhile, the Toshiba Satellite S50-B-14Z opt for a more powerful chip Intel Core i7-5500U dual core with a power of 2.4 GHz per core and a maximum speed of 3 GHz. In the first case enjoy a memory 4 GB RAM and second double (8 GB of RAM).


 The other major difference between the two configurations is the use of a 750 GB hard drive in the case of Satellite S50-B-151 and a 1TB hard drive in the case of S50-B-14Z. To enhance multimedia performance of these models a dedicated graphics card AMD Radeon R7 M260 with 2 GB of memory is integrated. We also noticed the presence of two Harman Kardon speakers with a power of 15W each, which will create a more immersive audio experience when gaming or watching movies.


 Three USB ports (two with the USB 3.0 protocol tenfold transfer rates), HDMI and RGB output, a reader two cards in one, WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 are included in the section connections to synchronize devices Supported as a wireless mouse.

Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 - possible Mi Note tablet version

Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 - possible Mi Note tablet version







Xiaomi could soon offer a new tablet. Photos posted on Weibo suggest that it would be based on the design of Mi Note and Mi Note Pro unveiled in January. The question is what it might contain.


Following a rumor relayed in October, we expected an entry in tablet Xiaomi for this winter. Finally, the model overview GFXBench during the fall has not been formalized, certainly because the digital slate market economic indicators are not conclusive, even for the iPad. However, Xiaomi may not completely abandon this segment he hosted last year with a first ambitious and cheeky model: the Mi Pad, natural adversary of the iPad Mini 2 (and 3 by extension) proposed a screen 8-inch powered by a Tegra K1 we have come to appreciate in the West thanks to the HTC Nexus 9.


Mi Pad being released in May 2014, it is natural to start to wait a few leaks about a possible successor. Weibo and was responsible to realize this expectation: two photos were unveiled earlier this week in the Chinese microblogging portal. The first presents a prototype tablet with a design very similar to Mi Note, larger and of course with a screen with different proportions.


Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 - possible Mi Note tablet version


The arrangement of visual cues is the same: the logo in the upper left corner and environmental sensors (proximity and light) surrounding the telephone receiver. Funny how, precisely, the telephone receiver is kept on this tablet. The second photo shows an assumed part of the chassis. This would be, as for Mi Note and Mi Note Pro, metal and cover the tablet’s borders.


Even if it is not visible on the first picture (or on the second course), the tablet could also keep another feature of the Mi-range earlier this year: the mineral glass coating has put forward, although course, but also in the back. What would change the colored plastic shell of the first Mi Pad (as usual Xiaomi reserves its Redmi).


No details obviously to inside of the tablet. Xiaomi he continues to trust nVidia and will include a surprise Tegra X1? Or will he choose the ease and opt for a Qualcomm chipset, including Snapdragon 810 it already uses for Mi Note Pro? In the latter case, it would compete with the Xperia Z4 Tablet unveiled recently. Whatever the choice, other leaks should follow it. It is therefore a matter to follow.



HP Spectre x360 convertible top of the range

HP Spectre x360 convertible top of the range







The family HP Spectre is updated with the arrival of a 2-in-1: after three years since the launch of the first notebook, the Spectre XT, and exactly one year from the model detachable, the Spectre x2, the Colossus of Palo Alto introduces the convertible, the Spectre x360. Commendable work of engineering designers HP: the transformation from traditional convertible notebook has impacted very little on weight and size, despite the complexity introduced by a screen that can rotate 360 °. Compared to the first model, the thickness increases of just 1.4 mm – increasing from 14.5 to 15.9 mm – on the scale while the needle moves from 1.39 to 1.49 kg.


HP Spectre x360 convertible top of the range


Also in this case, to realize a lightweight but durable, the chassis is made of aluminum processed by numerical control machines and parts of the body made in a single process. For hinges, real crux of convertible systems, HP has opted for a solution that encompasses within three spiral gears, able to allow, according to the manufacturer, a smooth and precise motion.


As for the hardware configuration, this Spectre will be available with Intel Core i5 and i7 (more precisely i5-5200U and i7-5500U), 4 or 8 GB of DDR3 memory and solid-state drives, in standard M2, with capacity from 128 to 512 Gbytes. The Monitor, a 13.3 “touchscreen of course, has a Full HD resolution, but it will be also available in Quad HD (ie 3840 x 2160).


HP Spectre x360 convertible top of the range


One of the strengths of the new Spectre is undoubtedly the battery life and Hp states for this system a range of well-12.5 hours. To achieve this have been introduced some measures to limit consumption of the display, the component most exorbitant in terms of energy absorption. For example, the touch panel is connected optically to the screen (ie without any intermediate layer): this implies that, since there are no dispersive layers, to have the same brightness less energy is required. Furthermore the model Quad HD integrates technology Panel Self Refresh, which, in the absence of movement on the screen, turn off the other components of the PC and has independent to refresh the image.


As for connectivity, the Spectre x360 is equipped with Wi-Fi 802.11 ac and Bluetooth 4.0 (but is absent the classic RJ45 Ethernet port), a video output Hdmi and a mini Displayport. Comes complete with the minijack audio (headphone / microphone), the memory reader Sd and the three USB ports 3.0. Finally we report that, like the other models Spectre, this also will be available in the “Pro” version, intended for business users and which differs (in addition to the version of the operating system) for the presence of a TPM chip and the service and support the guarantee of business level.



New leaked images of iPad Pro show a USB port type C

New leaked images of iPad Pro show a USB port type C







Although Apple has not confirmed in no time working in a professional tablet, all we get leaks point to its existence. Today we have new images that have appeared in the social network Weibo, which shed new data they already knew. It is expected that the iPad Pro has a screen size of 12.9 inches. The Cupertino Company would be working to make your device as professional as possible and, how could it be otherwise, connections are also a fundamental part.


 As can be seen in new photographs, a new port is appreciated, never before seen in other catches to date. It could be a second port lightning, or, as some media suggest, a USB port type C. The latter offers the possibility of providing faster data transfers (up to 10GB), serve as power cord, support resolutions 4K quality and support the connection of any peripheral, either audio or video. Would not be the first time I saw in an Apple device. The latest MacBook that the company introduced last March 9 and run it.


 The latest rumors coincided, that Apple was working for your new tablet to give the user the ability to connect any external device, either a mouse or keyboard. It was said that it could include a USB 3.0 port. The truth is that the USB port type C would give the tablet a smaller thickness, something that the company usually always insists. Otherwise, the images are not seen nothing unusual. We see the camera, typical volume buttons located on the side. Another photo shows us the speakers and 3.5mm jack, so we can make use of headphones.


 Although not appreciated in these latest leaks, recently we reported that the company could outfit your iPad Pro with a new speaker system, improving previous models. A housing Weibo appeared a few days ago, we revealed no more and no less than four: two installed at the top and two at the bottom. It seems that the objective of the Californian firm is that your tablet has nothing to envy in sound to many of its laptops section.


 For now there is no data point to an upcoming presentation. Both the iPad Mini 3 and the iPad Air 2 were presented in October last year, so it would make sense to think that Apple could choose that month to show off your new iPad Pro. Who knows if they surprised before. The next appointment we know is from 2 to 6 June, when the company plans to hold its developer conference WWDC. We do not believe that surprise in this event with the new tablet, but you never know. Most likely, is that the company shows there a new version of iOS, perhaps improvements in its platform and, hopefully, developments in the manufacture of its rumored autonomous car iCar.

Sony Xperia Z4 on GFXBench

Sony Xperia Z4 on GFXBench







Less than an hour after the LG G4, it was the turn of the Sony Xperia Z4 to unveil its technical characteristics, still on the tool benchmark GFXBench. In the case of the latter, fewer surprises, knowing that he are not the first benchmark of the next Japanese flagship, but the confirmation of what we already suspected.


 As you will see below, this new device referenced in the database GFXBench door Sony e6553 model number. Generally, Sony, the letter is the year of production. For example, the Z1 in 2013 bears out the letter C and Z2 and Z3 letter D. This suggests that it is the one we think.


 But let us now on alleged technical characteristics of the Sony Xperia Z4 which, as we have already seen, should, indeed, be equipped with a Snapdragon 810 processor associated with 3GB of RAM. So far nothing if not surprising that it would be talking about a Full HD 1080p 5.1-inch screen, while all previous reports reported a 5.2-inch slab.


 At this level, no need to worry, it is not uncommon GFXBench displays some inaccuracies in the figures, it is also the case for the two sensors pictures as you can see a little lower. In contrast, Full HD 1080p, at a time when competition is turning more and more towards the Quad HD is a pretty good surprise. Sony has often said he wanted to optimize battery life and it seems that the Japanese had decided to stand firm.


 Finally, as you can see, the main photo sensor would still be 20 or 20.7 megapixels, that said, it is most likely that it has been improved since the Z3. As for the front camera of 5 megapixels, it is also a very good surprise for fans of selfies.

Expected next month, the LG G4 is pending at the heart of many rumors. And today it’s the turn of the site GFXBench let us information on the Korean flagship.


If there is not an official announcement, the data revealed by this site prove in most cases quite accurate. Especially here, the information listed intersects with all previous indiscretions that have circulated on the Web these days.


LG G4 appeared on GFXBench with QHD Display and Snapdragon 808


The LG G4 would display and a 5.5 inch QHD screen (2560 x 1440 pixels) driven by a hexa-core SoC (equipped with two cores A57 and four hearts A53) running at 1.8 GHz. Details that remind us of the Snapdragon 808. This would prove to be a surprise then, as we could expect the Snapdragon 810 of the terminal.

This processor is accompanied by a Qualcomm Adreno 418 GPU and 3GB of RAM. For the storage memory, 32GB of ROM would be integrated, but only 23 GB would be available to the user.


Photo hand, the LG G4 should carry a 16-megapixel sensor on the back, with the classic accompaniments: autofocus, flash, face detection and touch focus. The small feature of this sensor, it could shoot in 4K according GFXBench. Another 8 megapixel sensor would be present at the front of the smartphone.

iPhone 6C first images of the rear panel







Snapshots supposed to unveil the hull of the iPhone 6C just made their appearance on the Web. This shell has many similarities with that of the iPhone 5C, while including the inherent characteristics of the new generation of Apple smartphones.


 If the likelihood of reaching an iPhone 6C market seems quite low to date, we must admit that at this time the possible future economic Apple smartphone is more and more of him.


 It became apparent last month on the Web, through a concept rather well done, before coming back in the news last week. The Digitimes website evoked on this occasion the arrival of three new Apple smartphones in 2015, including an iPhone 6S and an iPhone 6S Plus, but this iPhone 6C, much less expected.


 According to rumors, the iPhone 6C should be considered the successor to the iPhone 5C and would have the same screen size (4 inches), while bringing new as an Apple A8 processor, an NFC reader and reader footprint, to be marketed at a price of approximately 500 euros. It also would keep the plastic shell of its predecessor.


iPhone 6C first images of the rear panel


 This is also of this hull in question today, because the blog Future Pleading, a site specializing in accessories, has published several photos featuring the. The photos that accompany this article seem to show a hull with dimensions equal to that of the iPhone 5C, but still two differences in the program.


 Indeed, the hole for the flash does not have the same shape as that pierced iPhone 5C. It even looks like the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus.


 Second notable disparity: the lower range, which has two rows of holes for the speaker, instead of one on the iPhone 5C.


These differences show that we are not dealing with shells adapted to previous models. But are they really as much for shells intended for the iPhone 6C? Unfortunately we are not yet able to answer this question.


 Of course, we want to remind you that these are just pictures on the run and there is no evidence that they bring real information. We will keep you posted if indeed we knew about this iPhone 6C.

 Such a device, according to the user, may be listed as the new LG G4 Note (or Stylus) finding the same aesthetic of the series flagship LG Gx with a report body display in the front minimized. The keys for volume and balance controls are located on the back with the camera sensor “just above” which incorporates a square shape; obviously not missing twice FlashLED and auto focus laser introduced for the first time by LG G3.


 The materials of the rear bodywork – slightly curved – seem to be, at first glance, plastic with a texture of brushed aluminum, as of G3, which give certain elegance to the device.


 This new phablet, which in fact will go to expand the portfolio of the company with a Plus version (following the line of Samsung Note), should be equipped with a “G Pen” – visible from the picture in the upper left – which by the way was recorded just a few months ago by the same Taiwanese company.

 Moreover, as we can see from the pictures below, this device is immortalized in operation within settings and you can clearly see that on board there is version 5.0.2 of Android, then the launch will take place – definitely – with the last Android version.


 At this point we just have to stay glued to the XDA thread which revealed the image of LG G4 Note and hope that you give us more information about these photos published.

Hoop by Coloud sports headphones from Microsoft







Microsoft unveils a pair of in-ear headphones designed primarily for athletes, but certainly suit all music lovers. They are resistant to water dust and are light despite an offset remote.


 The economy of mobile telephony, at the manufacturers tends to be based on three axes. The first is obviously the smartphone, which generates visibility, but less and less profit. The second is the accessories that revolve around mobile, which are the best source of profits. And the last applications and value-added service. Besides Apple controls almost all the iPhone line, few manufacturers to rely on the three pillars. Samsung is one of them. Microsoft, too, thanks to the legacy of division Nokia Devices & Services. The Redmond stuff growing its catalog of accessories. The latest is called Hoop by Coloud.

 Hoop by Coloud is a pair of in-ear headphones for use with a Nokia smartphone, but that should be compatible with many smartphones. Developed in partnership with Coloud, a young Scandinavian brand dedicated to audio accessories (proximity between Finland and Sweden has certainly helped a lot in the signing of the partnership), Hoop is especially important to athletes. Headphones are ergonomic. The materials are intended to be very light. And above all, the construction is certified waterproof and dust-proof. No risk therefore runs in the rain and sweats…


 Some details on the data sheet for this accessory. Stereo Connector is obviously a 3.5mm jack port. The theoretical response of the helmet frequency is between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. The cable length is 120 cm. In its center is a key deporting remote controls volume and taking the call. A microphone is obviously inserted therein. Headphone cable, which has a special coating, is flat to avoid the formation of knots. The whole weighs 20.5 grams. Side colors Hoop by Coloud is available in orange, green and black. Colors typical of the catalog of Windows Phone from Microsoft.


 Still no date of availability for this pair of headphones that more should contact the owners of Lumia (given colors) as users of third parties smartphones.

Huawei P8 Mini already seen on TENAA

Huawei P8 Mini already seen on TENAA







The next April 15 Huawei will be in London to celebrate an event which is scheduled to present its new flagship, the Huawei P8. Apparently, the terminal does not come only, if not accompanied by a smaller model of reduced performance. The information has been obtained thanks to the TENAA, the agency responsible for certifying telecommunications equipment in China. It is here that was last seen and where we discovered their design and their possible characteristics.


 We glancing at the pictures, we can see that the Huawei P8 Mini would come with a very similar to the standard design, in which the metal, glass and ceramic materials would be very present. While it is expected that Huawei P8 mount a screen of 5.2 inches, the Huawei P8 Mini would stay in the 5 inches. It seems that the resolution would be the same: 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. The measures, as expected having the nickname “mini” would also be smaller. From the TENAA ensure that count with 143 mm long by 70.6 mm wide. Its thickness would be 7.7 mm. Meanwhile it is expected that the Huawei P8 measured 144.9 mm long, 71.9 mm wide and has 6.6mm thick. Regarding the weight, it is said that not exceed 131 grams.

 In paragraph camera will not have anything to envy his older brother. According to the same source, the Huawei P8 Mini equip a very similar, ie, a main camera sensor of 13 megapixels and a secondary camera with 5 megapixel sensor (in this case would fall slightly as the Huawei P8 ride a front 8 megapixels). We assume, as occurs in smaller versions of rival devices, which would miss some additional options, say for example, autofocus, dual-LED flash…


 The processor is expected to be one of the houses. It is very possible that this is a new version of its Kirin for mid-range devices. We do not believe, to incorporate the same that could lead standard terminal, which would be a HiSilicon Kirin eight cores running at 2 GHz. This SoC is now more prepared to compete with other high-end devices, which is the main objective of the Asian. We believe that RAM would also be more precarious than that of Huawei P8, which could equip a 3GB.


 In both cases, the platform of choice for governing devices would Android 5.0 Lollipop. It is one that comes with many improvements over Android 4.4 KitKat version. One of the most important is the introduction of Material Design, a new interface that gives the device a more modern and minimalist look. With Lollipop also get smart notifications. Thus, we can see all calls and messages we receive from within the unlock screen. It will be on April 15 when we meet new Huawei P8 Mini, a company that each has more followers worldwide.

HTC One E9 new photos phablet 5.5







During the morning, new photos of the HTC One M9 + surfaced on a Chinese website. A few hours later, it was the turn of the HTC One E9 previously known under the codename A55 to unveil its design images. As we have already seen, HTC is about to launch a 5.5-inch Phablet propose a design very similar to that of the M9 but with a plastic shell instead of aluminum.

Although employees design materials are not the same, the design of the HTC One E9 borrows some features of the M9. Including one will find the same two-tone appearance on the edges. On the back, however, there will be some changes since the camera is no longer square but round in shape and the surface of fairly glossy back and in total contradiction with the front, which, like the HTC One E8, mimics the look of brushed metal.

For the photo area is home to a main sensor 20 Megapixels which will undoubtedly be the same as the M9 and a 13-megapixel front camera. The technology will BoomSound course of the game.

 Of course remains to be defined when it will be announced this new behemoth, absent MWC, as the model 5.2-inch aluminum, probably not to upstage the M9. A strategic choice without doubt on the part of the Taiwanese firm. Moreover, at present, we do not yet know if the HTC One E9 will be marketed outside the Asian borders.

LG G Watch Urban LTE is already available in Korea for 500 euros

LG G Watch Urban LTE is already available in Korea for 500 euros







Unveiled last month, the LG G Watch Urban LTE is now preparing to join the Korean shops. The opportunity to finally discover its price. And the note will be rather salty. About 500 €.


While many manufacturers now offer boast smart watches, it is not always accurate. The adjective “connected” is probably more appropriate in many cases since part of the intelligence of the watch is the smartphone that comes with it. This is true for the Watch Apple. It is also for models with Android Wear. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the Samsung Gear S or latest LG G Watch Urban LTE.


Contrary to what one might think, it is not a simple variant of the G Watch Urban to which it makes a SIM port. I Do Not. This is a totally different model. It can of course connect to cellular networks in 4G but it turns runs on a proprietary OS rather than Google and sports a different and more imposing design to house full equipment. The memory goes to 1 GB RAM. Battery, 700 mAh. There’s even a GPS. In short, a much more interesting proposition.

Remained to know its price. Even in Barcelona, where we were able to quickly learn, LG did not release the song. This is usually not a good sign. And the price of the model without 4G, ie € 349, was not reassuring either. Our fears are confirmed today as the price of the G Watch Urban LTE has finally been unveiled in South Korea, where it will be available as of March 27 in exchange for 600,000 won, or about 500 €.


LG surpass and Apple and Watch Sport, already considered too expensive for a connected watch. And if the most complete equipment seems to justify such a tariff, the result may be the same for consumers who see there a watch more intelligent. The price is all the more surprising that even Samsung, yet less cautious about prices, preferred to stop at € 399 for its Gear S.

Expected next month, the future flagship LG has just appeared as a concept, with a leather back cover and a slight curve.


 The South Korean manufacturer should again be talked about next month formalizing its LG G4. To make us wait, designer Ivo Marić has developed a concept of the flagship that is reminiscent of a LG G Flex 2.

 On the video you can see at the end of the article, the LG G4 appears with a curvature which indeed think flexible terminal designed by the Korean manufacturer. Sober on the front panel, the terminal as a feature that integrates front camera, speaker and brand logo.


 However, Ivo Marić took more liberties on the back of the equipment since swapped the plastic removable cap against a leather cover. The image sensor is also different from what we have seen in the past, because here has a square shape. The On / Off button, concealing a fingerprint reader, is it in the camera sensor, as on previous generations of flagship devices.

 Recall that the “real” LG G4 is expected to show a 5.6 inch screen which in all likelihood should be QHD, but know that 3K is not excluded. It should be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 810, accompanied by random access memory (RAM) 3GB.


 A fingerprint reader is expected to arrive on the power button, as we indicated earlier in this article. For the photo, the future flagship LG should carry a sensor with a resolution of between 16 and 20 megapixels.


 As you can see, the LG G4 is expected, but fans of the brand should be filled in the near future should be formalized as early as next month. You can also count on us to inform you as soon as we know more about this smartphone.
