Business-focused HP Elite x3 unveiled, comes with Windows 10, SD820, and 4GB RAM

At the ongoing Mobile World Congress, HP has unveiled a Windows 10 smartphone that it claims can be used as a full-fledged laptop as well as desktop. Dubbed Elite x3, the device offers some high-end specs, including Snapdragon 820 SoC, and 4GB RAM.

The handset has 64GB of internal memory (which can be further expanded to 2TB via microSD), and packs in a large 4,150mAh battery that can be wirelessly charged. The phone also utilizes biometrics – there’s an iris scanner on the front and a fingerprint scanner at the back (the latter wasn’t present on the unit shown at MWC).

The Elite x3 also utilizes the Windows 10 Continuum feature that allows you to use the handset as a PC replacement whenever you want. One problem with Windows 10 phones until now has been that they can’t run full desktop apps. HP is aiming to solve the problem by offering an app catalog – dubbed HP Workspace – that’ll give you access to virtualized apps on the new device.

HP has also built a couple of accessories for the phone. These are the Desk Dock and Mobile Extender – both are optional. The former includes a DisplayPort, two USB-A and one USB-C port, as well as a wired Ethernet port.

On the other hand, the Mobile Extender is basically a 12.5-inch diagonal display notebook form factor that wirelessly connects with the Elite x3 to offer a laptop-like experience. HP says the phone will be available this summer, although no exact date or month was mentioned. As for the price, it will be disclosed “closer to date of availability.”

The Xperia X features a 5-inch 1080p resolution display with Sony’s Triluminos and X-Reality image enhancement technologies.

Alcatel POP 4

The Alcatel POP 4 has a 5-inch, 720 x 1280 resolution display, which brings its pixel density to 293 PPI — not ideal, but should be crisp enough not to cause annoyances. It has a quad-core, 1.1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 under its hood, paired with the modest 1 GB of RAM. Its internal memory is at a measly 8 GB, but can, thankfully, be expanded via microSD card of up to 32 GB. Its battery is generous for its specs, listed at 2,500 mAh. It has an 8 MP main camera and, as mentioned, a wide-angle (84.4-degree) 5 MP, LED-assisted selfie snapper. Impressively enough, the camera software also supports HDR shooting. – Source

LG G5 vs Apple iPhone 6s: first look

LG G4, can you take on the iPhone 6s? We bet that hasn’t been the question on many an iPhone 6s owner’s mind when Apple launched their finest last year, as the G4 was much larger, heavier, and with a totally different design language than the iPhone. This year, however, LG is so proud of its hot G5 creation, that it unveiled it ahead of the Galaxy S7 on the same very day, joining the ranks of “premium” design materials. Let’s see if the iPhone 6s owners have more reasons to consider the G5 before their current handset.

Here's an in-depth look at the Galaxy S7 camera

The Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge come with a few differences but share many identical specs.

The camera is one of those and is a key focus on both devices. Samsung scaled down the resolution from 16MP to 12MP which has resulted in bigger pixels (1.4µm on the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge compared to 1.12µm on the Galaxy S6).

Couple that with the larger aperture of f/1.7 – which is now also class leading in smartphones – and you’ve got a serious contender for the best camera on a smartphone.

The new Dual Pixel technology is an evolution of Phase Detect auto focusing, and it makes the Galaxy S7 wicked fast in acquiring focus. You can check out the video we took that demonstrates this better than any words could.

But it’s not all about the hardware – Samsung has put lots of work into the software behind the new camera.

For starters there’s Motion panorama which captures the moving subjects in the panorama, instead of just butchering them in the stitching process – it’s like a panoramic video almost.

Another feature, Motion photo, captures a three-second video before you’ve pressed the shutter – it also allows you to preserve a still photo.

The built-in Hyperlapse mode is a first on a Samsung cameraphone as well, and it is a great add-on that makes digitally stabilized time-lapse videos.

For the front-facing 5MP camera there’s Spotlight which accentuates certain facial features in a selfie (Beauty Mode).

There’s also Selfie Flash, which uses the screen as photographic fill-light in low lit environments.

Finally, Wide Selfie captures a panorama with the front-facing camera.

The only thing we’re not sure about is what Smart OIS stands for. There’s no specific mention of optical image stabilization on the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge and the less protruding lens could mean it’s only Electronic image stabilization (EIS). We’ll certainly have to see about that before we pass our final judgement.

Lenovo unveiled the new Vibe K5 and K5 Plus mid-rangers

Lenovo was far from centrestage today at WMC, but it didn’t skip on the venue altogether. It now has two new budget-friendly mid-rangers to add to its portfolio, which almost managed to slip by unnoticed amidst all the commotion.

The Vibe K5 and Vibe K5 Plus share most of their hardware platform, as evident by the name. Both have a 5-inch display – 720p in the basic one and 1080p in the Plus model. The other major difference has to do with the processors – a Snapdragon 415 inside the Vibe K5 and a Snapdragon 616 for the Plus variant. The rest of their shared specsheet includes 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM, 16GB of storage, plus a microSD card slot and a 2,750 mAh user-replaceable battery.

The camera setup consists of a 13MP main shooter and a 5MP one on the front. Also, both devices are LTE-enabled, Dual SIM and boot Android 5.1 Lollipop. Last, but not least, the K5 family looks to be audio-centric with Doubly Atmos support and two speakers on board.

Pricing is said to be $129 and $149 respectively and availability is still unknown, although it is already clear they won’t be hitting the US…
