| Samsung announces the Galaxy S2 Plus Posted: 10 Jan 2013 07:56 AM PST Samsung has just introduced the new Galaxy S2 Plus, a device with a minor bump up in specs from the regular S2.

ZTE yesterday announced the ZTE Grand S, a device that has leaked here and there for a little while now in the days heading up to CES. The device will feature full 1080p, and is being slated as the world’s thinnest phone, although that is not the first time we’ve heard that this week. It is definitely slim, however, at just 6.9mm, and it comes with:
the LTE on the device makes us hopeful to see it in the states eventually, however, the Grand S is set for debut in ZTE’s native China to begin, with no official word where it might be headed after.

| Panasonic announces 7-inch JT-B1 Toughpad, the Toughbook of the tablet world Posted: 10 Jan 2013 06:06 AM PST If you’re familiar with Panasonic, then chances are you’re also familiar with their infamous Toughbook line of computers. Sturday and built to withstand anything thrown at them, these things are practically indestructible. Now, Panasonic hopes to dig further down into that niche with the new JT-B1 tablet, also known as the Toughpad. The JT-B1 is designed to meet MIL-STD-810G durability certifications and IP-65 specifications for ingress protection, and is made for people such as those in contruction, oil rigging and engineering, first response, warehouse work, etc. As far as the specs, here’s what we’re looking at:
No, it isn’t pretty, and it sure as hell isn’t cheap, either. The steep price tag of $1,199 will keep most consumers away, but still make it a viable option for those who need it. The Toughbook should be available in February. Full press release and video after the break.

| Pantech Perception may have leaked, looks ready to impress Posted: 10 Jan 2013 05:45 AM PST Pantech, who’s making their presence known at CES this year, may have a new mid-level device heading to Verizon soon. The leak shows the Pantech Perception, and with it came details, such as a 720p LCD screen and a Qualcomm S4 CPU. Knowing what we know about Pantech, we can probably expect good camera quality, and a price that’s reasonable.

| Samsung unveils 8-core Exynos 5 Octa mobile processor Posted: 10 Jan 2013 05:30 AM PST Samsung seems to really be trying to take the cake with their latest hardware announcement. Hot on the heels of the new Tegra 4 from NVIDIA and the Snapdragon 800 from Qualcomm, Sammy has announced a new chipset of their own – the Exynos 5 Octa. That’s right, folks. Octa. As in 8 cores. Sounds like a lot of power, right? Speed wise, yes, battery wise, perhaps not so much. Samsung has developed this new chip with your sanity in mind: the cores are separated 2 ways, with 4 Cortex A15 cores handling the intense stuff, while 4 Cortex A7 cores handle the menial work. The chipset is well-suited for phones, and Samsung knows it – in fact, they’re saying that it could end up using 70% less battery life than current quad-core CPUs on the market now, as well as the dual-core Exynos 5, which currently runs the backbone of the Nexus 10 This is big news, folks, and has the potential to change the capabilities of our mobile devices for a long time to come.

| Sprint to include local FM stations on some smartphones in 2013 Posted: 10 Jan 2013 05:27 AM PST Is it ground-breaking? Hardly. Nonetheless, Sprint has announced that they will start introducing FM radio capability, thanks to a partnership with the American radio industry. The feature comes via what Sprint is calling “NextRadio”, which will feature a slew of interactive features – none of which we know specifics on as of yet. The thing that makes this different from your standard FM radio capabilities on some devices currently on the market is that the feature will not require special hardware, meaning any Sprint device (theoretically) could use it. Be sure to check out the press release below. Continue reading: Sprint to include local FM stations on some smartphones in 2013 Be sure to follow AndroidGuys on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube! |
