Huawei announces MediaPad 7 Lite tablet...

After Huawei released the advert for their presumably very expensive MediaPad 10 FHD tablet, they've taken the time today to announce the MediaPad 7 Lite which you could probably guess is a 7-inch tablet and will most likely compete with the Nexus 7.

Features that distinguish it from the Nexus 7 is the device's aluminium unibody design, and the fact that the device has both front-facing and rear-facing cameras and also has 3G connectivity. The device seems to be running Android 4.0 now but I expect that Huawei will change that when they announce the full specs and pricing in the future.

Android + X-Box + PS Vita = DROID X360

The DROID X360 is one of those devices that is a cheap knock-off of a device, but nevertheless does a good job. This device takes the design of a PS Vita which features a 5-inch screen, includes Android 4.0 and well, it has to be one of the best I've seen.

As I've said the device features a 5-inch display that has a resolution of 480x800, the device is powered by a singe-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz with 512MB of RAM. The device has 8GB of internal memory that can be expanded using the MicroSD card. The device even has two cameras, a 2-megapixel rear-facer and a 0.3-megapixel front-facer for video calling. The device runs Android 4.0, has a 2,800mAh battery and has pre-installed emulators out of the box.

The legality of the product being sold in this country besides China is out of the question however, you may be able to import one but be careful as loads of people have reported being scammed by sellers.

Toshiba anounces REGEZA T-02D smartphone...

Today, Toshiba has announced the latest in it's REGEZA range, the T-02D. This Android smartphone will be available on Japan's NTT DOCOMO network from July 26th. The phone itself offers quality specs but not flagship worthy.

The T-02D packs a 4.3-inch qHD (960x540) SuperAMOLED Plus display, powered by a dual-core Sanpdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz with 1GB of RAM. The device has two camera's, one 13.1-megapixel beast which can reach a ISO level of 25,600, and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling. The device runs Android 4.0.4 and will more than likely see the update to Android 4.1.

Galaxy Reverb for Sprint leaks...

An image has been leaked on Twitter of a low-end Samsung device by the name of Galaxy Reverb (SPH-M950) that is bound for the Sprint network. The device appeared on EV Leak's twitter account with some specs but has since been removed.

The device packs a 4-inch WVGA (480x800) display, powered by a single-core Qualcomm processor clocked at 1.4GHz with 768MB of RAM. The device features two cameras, one 5-megapixel rear-facer and a 1.3-megapixel front facer for video calling. Other specs haven't been disclosed but the device does run Android 4.0 and will more than likely see the update to Android 4.1.

Pricing and a release date for this device hasn't been announced yet, neither has any information concerning the device actually having compatibility for Sprint's LTE band.

Huawei releases advert for Huawei MediaPad 10...

Huawei has a iPad beater on their hands. The MediaPad 10 is very very impressive not just specs wise. It is only 8.8mm thick beating the iPad 3 by 0.6mm. The tablet features a aluminium back panel which is very nice, the device weighs 598 grams which is significantly less than the iPad. The tablet also features a Asus like keyboard dock, which makes the device look like a netbook.

On to the specs! We have a full HD (1200x1920) 10.1-inch IPS display, (your already drooling aren't you?) powered by Huawei's own quad-core processor with a 16 core GPU and 2GB of RAM, the device has 8GB of storage which isn't that good, but Huawei offers 120G of cloud storage (probably meant GB) and the device has a MicroSD card slot which can support up 32GB. The device's battery capacity hasn't yet been disclosed but I'd expect it to be over the 10,000 mark.

Now for the advert:

Galaxy Note 10.1 advert shows off stylus goodness...

Samsung has outed an advert for the much anticipated and waited for (due to revisions) Galaxy Note 10.1, this could be an indication that the device will be making it's way to store shelves very soon. This is great news for people waiting for this device. Here is the advert:



The advert shows a guy following this guy with a Galaxy Note 10.1 and he is literally loving every second of it. It shows off a dual-screen view and pie chart making. All in all, a great advert.

Samsung Galaxy S3... 10 million and strong!

Samsung has now officially beaten there goal of 10 million Galaxy S3's sold, they originally said they wanted to have shipped 10 million by August but the mark has been reached early and the device is predicted to ship at least 40 million units this year! This comes after two months since the device has actually been on store shelves. Giving you an idea of how popular the Galaxy S3 is.

Verizon bound Samsung "Jasper" spotted...

An image has surface of a Samsung device with the product number SCH-i200 however should be known by it's codename "Jasper". This device has been leaked many times before but this is the first time it has been leaked with images included.

This image confirms a few things. The device will run Android 4.0 out of the box with Samsung's TouchWiz UI over the top, it will have support for Verizon's LTE band and the rear-facing camera of which the resolution has not been leaked won't have a flash. Other than that, the device is said to run a dual-core Qualcomm processor (MSM8960) clocked at 1.5GHz and will have a WVGA (480x800) display.

Want Jelly Bean on your Nexus S? Try this!

I am a proud Nexus S (i9020) owner and when I found out that my device will be getting Jell Bean, I literally screamed down the street in excitement. Vodafone in Australia said they were pushing it OTA. But if your impatient (like me) then try this trick:


1. System settings 
2. Apps
3. all
4. Google-Service-Framework
5. Delete Data
6. Force stop
7. go to Homescreen
8. System settings
9. about Phone
10. System up dates (last time of update checking should be 01.01.1970)
11. Check now
12. if not work go to point 1.


After one attempt, It worked for me straight away. I hope it goes well for everyone, enjoy Jelly Bean!

Benchmarks reveal details about Galaxy Note II...

Benchmarks for the eagerly awaited Galaxy Note II (N7100) have shown up on GLBenchmark (they have now been pulled), the benchmarks shows a quad-core processor with a higher clock speed than the S3 and a 720p 16:9 aspect ratio screen.

As expected the Galaxy Note will use a quad-core processor, but at 200MHz higher than the S3 (totalling 1.6GHz) similarly done with the S2 and original Note. The display will instead use a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 720x1280 resolution, the same as the S3. On a 5.5-inch screen that'd make a pixel density of 267PPI which is above average.
