Nexus 2015: Google prepare two smartphones, LG and Huawei

Nexus 2015: Google prepare two smartphones, LG and Huawei


While the Google I / O developer conference Google starts Thursday, new rumors about the Nexus have surfaced. This year, the Mountain View Company is preparing to unveil not one but two Nexus smartphones and no tablet. LG and Huawei are in control. And that’s not all, since the first of the next two specifications have leaked Nexus. Here are the details.


 In recent weeks rumors have multiplied around the future smartphone from Google. We first heard about a 5.2-inch smartphone manufactured by LG, which would make the first Korean manufacturer to have made three Nexus.


 Then other rumors have reported a device manufactured by Huawei that would display a diagonal of 5.7 inches and therefore would resume phablet format. Finally, a new rumor surfaced, rumors that Google has decided to launch two Nexus smartphones this year.


 Angler and Bullhead, these would be the code names of the new representatives of the famous range commissioned from Mountain View to its partners around the world. After the tragic end of the project Android Silver, drowned in the bud by the producers, Google has decided to return to bet big on the Nexus, so loved by buyers.


 The first, produced by Korean LG, brag a screen of 5.2 inches with a battery around the 2700mAh. In the technical specifications (not yet defined) should be part of the Snapdragon 808, as on LG G4, thus making this Nexus 5 2015 flagship little brother of the manufacturer, a bit ‘as was the case for Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 with LG LG Optimus G and G2.


 The second, produced by the Chinese Huawei for the first time ever, should use a SoC Snapdragon 810, having a diagonal of 5.7 inches and a battery of 3500mAh. Given the screen size would not be wrong to think of a Quad HD resolution, making the product in fact an updated version of the Nexus 6 assigned last year to Mototola.


 Both will be released in late October / early November, the traditional launch window in recent years.

ZTE prepare a smartphone with dual camera sensor

ZTE prepare a smartphone with dual camera sensor


Coming so only a few days after the presentation of the ZTE Nubia Z9, the Asian company ZTE could be working right now on a new smartphone with two main chambers. The images that have appeared published in the social network Asian Weibo they reveal, showing a smart phone that holds a design on the front quite similar to the rest of the Nubia range, while in the back (covered, of course, with a layer of glass) can be seen a striking main camera with dual-sensor.


 This mysterious smartphone ZTE has a design very similar to the main chambers we have seen in the Honor 6 Plus, a mobile of Honor also incorporated into the back cover a double-chamber principal. Among the other features of ZTE mobile that can be seen in these images we find a dual-LED flash, a physical button for the camera on the left side, a microUSB port on the bottom and, in general, housing design unibody type appears.


ZTE prepare a smartphone with dual camera sensor


 In any case, we must not forget that we talk about images of a conceptual designs distributed by the GizmoChina website. ZTE has not said anything about it, and talk about technical specifications in this case is too risky. For this phone (or any other that ZTE might have prepared for this year) will probably have to wait until the IFA 2015, a technology event held in the city of Berlin (Germany) during the month of September and that, in its edition last year, this company served to show terminals as ZTE Kis 3 Max or ZTE Blade Vec 4G.


 What it can help us to get an idea of the features that we can expect from the new mobile ZTE it is Nubia Z9 currently one of the higher-end phones from this manufacturer. We speak of a terminal that incorporates a 5.2-inch screen with 1,920 x 1,080 pixel resolutions, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, 3/4 gigabytes of RAM, 32/64 GB of internal memory, a 16-megapixel main camera processor, 2,900 mAh batteries, Android 5.0.2 Lollipop and, most striking of all, a wide range of functions in the side curved screens.


Gionee Elife E8 to take pictures in 100 megapixels

Gionee Elife E8 to take pictures in 100 megapixels


A little over a week since its certification in China, Gionee Elife E8 does talk about again for his camera back.


 The smartphone market in China is in constant turmoil, because within it are always the new company and current get bigger every day selling well in the international markets; some of them such as Xiaomi, Huawei, Lenovo in the field of mobile phones are now considered to be the true leaders in the field on a par with the most famous brands such as Sony, LG, HTC.


 Another company that is doing talk about, although it is still emerging, is Gionee that with its latest flagship smartphone called Elife E8 is trying to impress the Chinese clientele.


 The device in question, certified just a little more than a week ago by TENAA (the equivalent of the FCC in the US) seems to bring a rather interesting innovation in the field of media: it should be able to take pictures interpolated (superimposed on each other) at a maximum resolution of up to 100 megapixels.


 This small “miracle” technology would be the hardware side thanks to rear camera with 23.8 megapixel optical sensor well and thanks to the software’s native Gionee that allow interpolation.


 The photo opportunities to as many as 100 megapixels enable the user to obtain images with higher details and less noise video, then on paper a final result higher than the average of images taken by the cameras of the competition.


 Obviously Gionee Elife E8 is not only a smartphone all camera; product design is at the forefront in terms of thickness and weight, use a metal shell (so precious materials) and should have a high-profile hardware.


 From what we know it would use a smartphone display Super AMOLED 4.6 inch diagonal with QHD resolution 2560 x 1440 pixels (with a high density of pixels equal to 639 PPI), an Octa-Core processor with Mediatek MT6795 chipset running at maximum frequency of 2 GHz, well 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory expandable with microSD course for those who needs more space for multimedia files, documents, photos and so on.


 For those who love taking pictures selfie the front camera should satisfy even the most demanding users thanks to an 8-megapixel sensor, which is above the standard of many other smartphone competitors who stop almost always to 5 megapixels.


 Finally, for those who are afraid to stay during the day with the battery ground it seems that Gionee Elife E8 is well covered with amperage of 3520 mAh, which for example exceeds by nearly 1000 mAh battery of the Galaxy S6 which moreover has a display even larger.



Sony Xperia Z3 + Official

During today, as widely anticipated by rumors of recent days, Sony has officially unveiled its new flagship smartphone for the European market, the interesting Sony Xperia Z3 +, which got up to almost completely transposed the Sony Xperia Z4 announced a few weeks ago for the Japanese market.


 The new Sony Xperia Z3 + comes with excellent technical specifications that place it easily in the high-end mobile phone market. The device features a 5.2-inch diagonal display with full HD resolution supported by the SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 with 3 GB of RAM. Internal storage, expandable via microSD, is 32 GB; the rear camera is equipped with a 20.7-megapixel sensor while the front camera is 5 megapixels.


 Compared to the previous Xperia Z3, the new Sony Xperia Z3 + can count on a thickness and a weight lower. The size of the new device is equal to 146 x 72 x 6.9 mm while the total weight is 144 grams. The new top of the range by Sony continues to have the impermeability to water and dust. Compared to its predecessor, the new Sony Xperia Z3 + does not have the cover to protect the microUSB port. The operating system is Android 5.0 Lollipop and the battery has a capacity of 2930 mAh. Also note, also the introduction of support Quick Charge.


 The new Sony Xperia Z3 + should do very soon its debut on the European market. For now the official price list has not yet been announced but, certainly, the new smartphone flagship of Sony should be sold at a higher price to 600 Euro. More details in this regard will emerge, no doubt, in the coming hours. For now, we just have to wait for the actual market release of the device.








Asus ZenPad - new range of Android tablets

Asus ZenPad - new range of Android tablets


After ZenFone, Asus would work on a range of ZenPad. Understand tablets. The first batch will consist of two models of different sizes. Planned launch at Computex 2015.


Long, Asus mobile strategy was based almost exclusively on hybrid devices. Smartphones that turn into tablets. Tablets which are transformed into computers. Not forgetting the tablets phoning. But the success of ZenFone changed that. Since then, Taiwan has clearly more complex to launch single function devices. And if it works with smartphones, why not try with tablets? This is obviously planned. Here ZenPad.


Asus ZenPad - new range of Android tablets


Asus would work indeed to expand its range Zen in tablet segment. The ZenPad is not yet official but it should not take too long. It is rumored that it will be unveiled during Computex in early June, in just one week. And, meanwhile, we already have a pretty good idea of what we should find it with our colleagues of the portal AusDroid.


This is obviously to them that we have the visual above but not only. They also indicate that ZenPad will be available in two sizes. The largest would have an 8 inch screen with 2048 x 1536 pixels, the same resolution as the iPad’s screen. The other would be a little smaller, with a 7-inch screen for a definition of 1024 x 600 pixels.


We can also add an Intel chipset to the list, as well as the front speakers from the images. A slot for microSD cards also seems present but it could also be a SIM card slot, imagining that there is no memory expansion.


It will certainly wait for the official announcement to get to the bottom, but also discover the rest of the technical features of the ZenPad. It is fortunately not very far if everything goes as planned.



Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge - launched the Iron Man Edition

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge - launched the Iron Man Edition


Samsung is ready to announce the Iron Man Edition version with curved edges of his flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.


 Everything is ready for the presentation of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Iron Man Edition. Some days ago, the largest phone company South Korea showed the packaging of the device celebratory. Now the model was finally announced. This is the result of an interesting collaboration between Samsung and Marvel.


Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge - launched the Iron Man Edition


 The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Iron Man Edition has a body in which the dominant colors are of course red and gold. The model has an internal memory of 64 GB and is offered in a pack containing a set for wireless charging. The design is very unique and can be also highlighted by a transparent cover.


Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge - launched the Iron Man Edition


 The new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge with the hood dedicated to Iron Man will be launched in South Korea from 27 May. Later, the model will also be presented in China and Hong Kong, while still do not know the company’s intentions with respect to other countries. It is hoped that the product is made available in Europe to make happy the many fans of the saga of the Avengers.


 You do not even know the price of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Iron Man Edition. There is talk of higher costs compared to those of a common Galaxy S6 Edge 64 GB. Samsung has not discussed the possibility of drawing the superhero aboard the Galaxy S6. Consequently, the Iron Man Edition should be realized only for version “Edge”.




Samsung Z LTE - Tizen Smartphone Leaks

It would be a mobile device designed for a range of input that is especially suited for users looking to make a practical phone, but simple and inexpensive. We talked about the Samsung Z LTE, a smartphone that has not yet been officially announced, but has already appeared in photos. The snapshot that has leaked today shows us the real aspect that will have this team, which promises to be level with the Samsung Z1 we already know. In fact, if the source image is completely accurate, the Samsung Z LTE would work through the Tizen operating system developed by Samsung itself, and would be fully equipped with 4G / LTE connectivity. But what kind of smartphone at hand and what are its main features?


 You see, this is not a team that will be part of the legendary saga Galaxy. This is already a pretty tight that the phone will not work through Android indicator, the operating system for mobiles and tablets Google. If the forecasts are not twisted, this could be the Samsung Z2, more direct successor of Samsung Z1 we already know and that is currently on the market. It is curious, however, that its design is so opposed to the architecture of the Samsung Z1.


 But this picture is not all we have in this team. It seems that Samsung Z2 which will be released soon have a single processor (CPU) and four 32-bit cores and will be able to combine performance with 1GB of RAM. The screen will be mounted TFT-LCD with QHD resolution. With regard to the operating system, we have indicated that the terminal – like its predecessor – will be equipped with Tizen. In this case it will through version 3.0. The latest rumor on the table is directly related to the battery system. And the Samsung Z2 promises to have a piece of lithium ion capacity 2,000 milliamps, allowing users to enjoy a good level of autonomy.


 We’ve already indicated at the outset that one of the main features of the Samsung Z2 is the LTE connectivity. Yes, although it is an entry-level phone, it is perfectly equipped for users to enjoy browsing and downloading data very agile. This feature combined with other tools to secure connectivity such as WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS networks. With respect to availability, for now we do not have accurate data, but it is very likely that Samsung this team in this society soon and be made available to all users worldwide.



Gionee M5 - smartphone with two batteries

Gionee M5 - smartphone with two batteries


Today, the issue of autonomy is crucial as our little smartphones often struggling to overcome the day of use. This makes it very difficult to enjoy his precious camera a few days away from a power outlet. The situation could change with the Gionee M5 that would push the limits of autonomy. To achieve this, the manufacturer is all about an architecture based on two batteries.


 Everyone has already made the sad experience with our daily use of smartphones between surfing web on 3G, 4G, 2D and 3D games, different timings mails, was quick to find themselves running out of juice. And if there are more or less effective depending on the manufacturer software optimizations, nobody had found a durable solution to today with Gionee.


 And displays teasing leaves little room for doubt, the pattern confirms a priori the presence of two batteries in the smartphone. This dual-battery system promises on paper outstanding battery life. Remains to be seen how the manufacturer intends to manage the software part of such a device.


 In fact, we can assume that once a battery depleted, the second takes over. Without being original, this solution has the merit of making in efficiency. For the moment, no other information is known. Impossible to know what is the capacity of these batteries, Gionee probably expected a better time to communicate on that crucial point yet.


 Remains another challenge to accomplish this small miracle, he had to find how to miniaturize the possible vital components. There is likely to make Gionee fear that is used to push the boundaries of smartphones like the Elifa S7 and its 5.5 mm thick only. The dimensions of the M5 as its data sheet are for their part not yet known, but perhaps the coming days we will learn more about them.

Nokia N1 - tablet available in Taiwan

After China last January, the Nokia N1 tablet just landed in Taiwan. For about 250 euros, it is possible to buy the Nokia tablet with its famous harbor USB Type-C and its enticing features.


 Nokia N1 tablet had a surprise last November during his official announcement. A few months after the takeover by Microsoft’s mobile division of Nokia Lumia, the Finnish manufacturer has released its cartons a tempting tablet. For $ 249, the specification sheet is particularly useful with high-end components and a premium finish. But the main problem is the availability of the product. The tablet is available in China since last January and has only recently been marketed in Taiwan. It is thus possible for 8199 Taiwan dollars (about 250 euros) to acquire the Nokia N1 in Taiwan, nearly five months after its availability in China.


 It is hoped that Nokia N1 will be available soon in Europe, if one day she decides to get out of Asia. It was quite difficult to find this tablet in China at the beginning of the year since it was mainly marketed as flash sales. However, the tablet could be a hit in Europe with its aluminum shell, its screen Gorilla Glass 3 7.9-inch QXGA (2048 x 1536 pixels), its processor quad-core 64-bit Intel Z3580, its 2 GB of RAM and 32GB of storage space. Remember also that Nokia N1 is the first mobile device – if not the first high-tech device – to integrate the famous USB Type- – C reversible although it is here limited to USB 2.0.

Samsung invents a Phablet Dock for a Next-Gen Dual OS Notebook


While Samsung is the least busy lately with its Galaxy S6, the manufacturer remains very active in the future. The Korea appears to be preparing an Android smartphone or Tizen which can be fixed on a NoteBook under Windows 10.


 It is the site Patently Mobile that unveils the device of a new kind for Samsung. The Korean has indeed filed a patent with the US Patent Office, called US Patent and Trademark Office for an Android smartphone or Tizen which can bind to NetBook via a dock, NetBook that turns him under Windows 10.



 This new hybrid smartphone-notebook will allow the notebook to access the Internet without WiFi connection required. The NoteBook will also be able to recharge the smartphone. – Patent Samsung -



Some observe precisely that found on the market today NoteBook of which, once the smartphone set on the integrated dock, are extensions of the mobile screen.


 Samsung patent goes further. First, it allows the use of two different depending on OS support: Android or on the Tizen smartphone, and Windows 10 when in “NoteBook mode”. Another distinct advantage is that the NoteBook will not need WiFi to enjoy internet as soon as the phone is attached to the dock activate the modem mode.


Samsung invents a Phablet Dock for a Next-Gen Dual OS Notebook


 Finally, the smartphone will charge on the dock at the same time that the user will work on his NoteBook. It is already now possible, but the convenience is undeniable. However, if Samsung wants to succeed his bet, he will have to pay particular attention to the autonomy of NoteBook since it will be the energy source of the dock for smartphone.


 Last but not least, the trend is the major smartphones; the patent mentions a Phablet Dock.








Sony Lavender: New photos confirm design almost borderless

Sony Lavender: New photos confirm design almost borderless


It seems increasingly clear that the Sony Lavender is more than a rumor. For several days there has been talk of a terminal that Sony would clearly oriented towards making selfies, with a 13-megapixel front camera that would leave us breathless. Now, some pictures leaked leave us a first look at the appearance and shapes of the course team. And the most interesting feature would be very fine, almost no side frames. All it powered by an eight-core processor or a RAM of 2 GB. It is expected that the official presentation of Lavender is carried out at the end of next June. We tell you all the details that are known so far.


 The images and leaks Sony Lavender arrive through the site NoWhereElse, a portal that usually hit with such developments. The first thing that catches the attention of Lavender is Sony’s decision to include very fine side frames. A decision that departs from many models of the brand, which has been criticized many times by the use of very thick frames in many proposals. A change in ways that could become a turning wheel on the designs of the Japanese company, which is experiencing very turbulent months in its mobile division after his fall in sales.


Sony Lavender: New photos confirm design almost borderless


 But without doubt, the main trick with which is expected to reach the Sony Lavender is a powerful tool to make selfies front camera. According to the leaks that have also seen in other sites, this goal would be a Sony Exmor sensor with an impressive resolution of 13 megapixels. A camera that would be at the top of this type of proposals aimed at self-portraits and also would have a built-in flash to enhance photos taken at night. No doubt a very important claim given the popularity they have reached selfies in recent years, but will have to see how successfully completes the Japanese company’s offer.


Sony Lavender: New photos confirm design almost borderless


 Another aspect which is also filtered using Mediatek processor with eight cores and the speed of 1.7 GHz. This chip has 64-bit architecture and is very likely to come together with connectivity to enjoy 4G High speed networks. In addition, a 2 GB RAM is included to run more processes simultaneously. Of course, this value is one step below the major releases of the market, so we could be talking about a model of upper-middle range. In the bowels of the team will be integrated of Google Android 5.0 Lollipop. The leaks are completed with the presence of a dual SIM card slot and the use of other 13 megapixel camera at the back of the smartphone. At the moment we have no details on this model, which is expected to have an official presentation at the end of next month.

USB mouse Razer Firefly glows with 16.8 million possible colors

USB mouse Razer Firefly glows with 16.8 million possible colors


The gaming peripherals maker Razer complements Chroma family, which includes products with customizable colored lighting, a?? Mouse pad! It is called Firefly.


 Just as mice, keyboards or headsets Chroma, the Razer Firefly mat incorporates RGB LEDs; the intensity may vary over 256 independently on three color channels, giving a total of 16.8 million tones color available.


 Connected to the computer via a braided cord and a gold plated USB connector, the mouse pad is setting with the software house Synapse, which offers several lighting modes. One can choose a plain lighting, color synchronize with other devices Chroma, but it is also and above all to vary the colors on the three sides illuminated, fixed or animated manner.


 No need perfectly essential, as the saying goes? At first, yes. But Razer offers a development kit (SDK) Chroma, which allows developers to interface their games with the mouse pad. We can imagine, in an FPS for example, a red flash localized when you lose hit points.


 The Razer Firefly is also a mouse pad as many others for the video game. It has a micro-textured coating a rough skid base, and it measures 355 x 255 mm to 4 mm and 380 g.


 The Razer Firefly mats will be available worldwide in June 2015 for the tidy sum of 75 euros.



Blu Studio C - first smartphone Lollipop for $99

Blu Studio C - first smartphone Lollipop for $99


The American brand Blu Products has just introduced its new economic Android smartphone: the Studio C. Picking screen and platform Studio 5.0 C HD, it is modernizing some elements of a still tight price.


 This year, we observe two phenomena. The high-end smartphones are becoming more expensive. Conversely, the entry-smartphones are becoming less expensive. The proof is again with Blu Products, US economic brand has unveiled the Studio C, its new smartphone running Android 5.0 Lollipop. Heir Studio 5.0 C HD which it takes much of the specs and design, this mobile is distinguished by its price below $ 100.


Blu Studio C - first smartphone Lollipop for $99


 What do we have for that price? First a 720p IPS 5-inch screen, with a resolution slightly less than 300 dots per inch. The Studio C is powered by a MediaTek MT6582 chipset, a quad-core 1.3 GHz with GPU Mali 400 MP2. It is compatible 32-bit. No 64-bit? That’s too bad, but not so serious. To accompany this chipset, Blu Products kept the 1GB of RAM, but the internal memory has doubled to reach 8GB, always expandable microSDHC. In addition, the battery from 2,000 mAh to 3000 mAh.


 Picture side, the smartphone retains the main 8-megapixel sensor (compatible Full HD video) of its predecessor, and its 2-megapixel webcam. Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi n and GPS, it offers 4G connectivity and HSPA (21 Mb / s). Everything comes in Lollipop and tidy in a chassis 9.4 mm thick and weighs 172 grams. Like all Studio “C”, the mobile comes in several colors: gray, white, orange, green and pink.


 A small balance is therefore required to view this data sheet: 5 inch HD screen, 4G connection, 3000 mAh battery, all sold to 99.99 dollars, before subsidies. Although Studio C is not officially sold in Europe, this proposal clearly deserved to be reported in our columns.



Leaked: Samsung Galaxy J5 and J7 new specifications

Following the launch of the new Samsung Galaxy S6, Samsung will be focusing on renewing its range of tablets and also the mid-range of its catalog of smartphones. Several weeks ago we told that Samsung plans to expand its mid-range with the new series Samsung Galaxy J, which is being expanded with the new Samsung Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7. For Samsung Galaxy J5 now Samsung has not confirmed anything, but we already have solid clues that its launch is imminent. The two models have been certified by networks in China, leaving behind the list of top specifications and multiple images. The Galaxy J series already has the Samsung Galaxy J1; a mobile input range was launched in February. J5 and J7 logically exceed the benefits, see further.


 TENAA is the agency responsible for the regulation of communications in China and all smartphone that is to be sold in the country must receive the approval of this body. The records TENAA have become a great way to get data on smartphones that have not yet been released to the market, as in this case the Samsung Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 whose market launch should not be far away if we that they have already received approval in China. Samsung is restructuring its catalog new series distinguished by letters and numbers. The higher the number, the more advanced the smartphone, so the Samsung Galaxy J7 is the most comprehensive of the two.


 According to data collected in the TENAA record, the Samsung Galaxy J7 integrates a 5.5-inch screen that still do not know the resolution or its technology, though we should not expect a Super AMOLED panel, as are usually reserved for models most leading brand. The processor will be a Marvel PXA1936 and take 1.5 GB of RAM, accompanied by 16 GB of expandable memory with MicroSD ROM. This model has a pair of cameras 13 and 5-megapixel, 3000 mAh battery and has a thickness of 7.9 mm, reaching a weight of 170 grams. How could it be otherwise, will come standard with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop and the latest bringing the system, starting with the completely redesigned interface.


 Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy J5 a step is below both screen size and technical performance in general. The device features a panel of 5 inches diagonally (there is no data on the resolution) and a Snapdragon 410 processor, 64-bit quad-core Qualcomm intends to midrange phones. RAM is the same as that of his older brother (1.5 GB), but the ROM remains in 8 GB, so you have to dip a MicroSD. It has a battery of 2,600 milliamps, 8.5 millimeters thick and weighs 149 grams.

Sharp unveils Aquos Xx bezel-less smartphone

Sharp unveils Aquos Xx bezel-less smartphone


The day after the launch of Crystal Aquos 2, Sharp has also unveiled Aquos Xx, the variant at the top of the range of the family “bezel-less”. In this case we are dealing with a phablet 5.7 “, for an interesting model not only for design, but also for the choice of components high-end hardware.


Aquos Xx uses a display S-CG LCD 5.7 “full HD resolution and all operations will be managed by a SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 with GPU Adreno 430. The processor is supported by 3GB of RAM and are integrated 32GB of internal memory expandable up to 128GB through memory card microSD.


Unlike the mid-range model, Aquos Xx has a thickness of only 8.7 mm, while integrating a generous battery 3.000mAh not removable. On the photo the Japanese have chosen a 13 megapixel CMOS sensor with a support of LED flash, while selfie will 2MP. Everything will be managed by Android 5.0 Lollipop.


Sharp unveils Aquos Xx bezel-less smartphone


Because of the particular design, many components are arranged along the only part of the smartphone is not covered by the display, or the lower one. Here are the sensors, the front camera and a small capsule working phone with bone conduction technology (nothing traditional speaker, then).


The most noticeable difference compared to its predecessor is especially thick, a major compromise of the first model. It passes from 11 to 8.7 mm, and at the same time the battery has a capacity significantly higher. The new model also supports 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and NFC.


Sharp Aquos Xx will be available in June in Japan in white, black and red, but unfortunately it is not expected to arrive on the international markets.



Samsung CHOPIN-LTE - new tablet with 4GB of RAM and Intel processor in 14 NM

Samsung CHOPIN-LTE - new tablet with 4GB of RAM and Intel processor in 14 NM


While the Galaxy Tab S2 8 and 9.7 prepare for their arrival in June, now a new Samsung tablet has been spotted on the Geekbench benchmark tool. Quite surprisingly, it equips an Intel processor engraved in 14 nanometers and supported by 4 GB of Ram. Samsung CHOPIN-LTE tablet will resolutely upscale.


In the space of 24 hours, the device was tested four times on the platform under the codename Samsung CHOPIN-LTE. The specifications mention the presence of an Intel Atom x5-Z8500 accompanied by 4GB of RAM processor, all under Android 5.1 Lollipop. Formalized in March, the Intel Atom Cherry Trail x5-Z8500 is a quad core processor clocked at 2.24 GHz and engraved in 14 nanometers exclusively for tablets.


Samsung CHOPIN-LTE - new tablet with 4GB of RAM and Intel processor in 14 NM


In terms of performance, we are on scores of 1002 points on single-core test and 3408 points on the multi core test is substantially equivalent results to those of the Galaxy Note 4. Unfortunately, the benchmark tool provides no information concerning the size or the definition of the screen.


Knowing that the technical characteristics of Galaxy Tab S2 have already been unveiled, first by sources SamMobile, then by a benchmark, it is clear that it is neither tablet to be announced next month. Moreover, we think rather to a new range. The question is when it will be officially presented.


The IFA in Berlin is of course an enabling event but probably too close to the launch of the next two tablets Samsung AMOLED. Moreover, between Galaxy Note 5, Samsung Gear A and curved his next smartphone, it is unlikely that the firm also announced a tablet Samsung CHOPIN-LTE, although in terms of schedule, an announcement in September would be perfect to beat the next iPad.
