HTC One and Mini in Vivid Blue announced, coming in Q4 Sep 3rd 2013, 07:02, by Cory Gunther The leaked pictures and rumors surrounding a blue version of HTC’s popular One smartphone haven’t let up. We’ve seen countless leaks of the hardware, but nothing has been made official, until this evening. HTC has just announced the brand new and stunning looking Vivid Blue HTC One, and along with it comes an HTC One Mini with the same great color. Gone is the standard black or silver Aluminum on the original One, and now we have the same unibody aluminum flagship smartphone wrapped in Vivid Blue. The plastic inside bits have been replaced with a black color, which goes nicely against the blue, and we even have a casual white Beats Audio logo. The blue HTC One was rumored to arrive on Verizon, but that never happened. We’ve heard a few reports that Sprint could be getting an exclusive in the US on this brand new Vivid Blue color, but today’s announcement from HTC confirms no such details. With the HTC One Mini being available from AT&T, most likely they’ll get the first crack stateside at the new color. Most reports focused on the regular One, but we’re happy to confirm both the One and the mini variant will be offered up in Vivid Blue starting in Q4 of this year. Again HTC stating “select markets starting in Q4″ so the details are still pretty light. I don’t know about you guys, but a Vivid Blue HTC One Google edition would be ideal, for me. Finally, HTC announced a new speaker to enhance the One series. The HTC BoomBass. Which is a compact Bluetooth-enabled sub-woofer that should help you rock those beats with even more power. We’ll be sure and get our hands all over HTC’s new products on the showroom floor. Stay tuned for much more from IFA all week long. Story Timeline HTC One in Blue possibly coming to Verizon HTC One gets pictured in blue HTC One in Blue spotted again, mums the word from HTC HTC One in Blue tipped for Sept 10th release, but not on Verizon Sony unveils two portable battery chargers for phones and tablets Sep 3rd 2013, 06:46, by Juan Carlos Torres With all the fancy new features and power hardware that inhabit our smartphones and tablets today, battery life has become one of the prickliest thorns in our sides. But worry not because Sony has got you covered with a pair of new portable battery chargers that will give your gadgets that extra juice to keep it going. First up is the smaller CP-F5, measuring 70.4 mm x 128 mm x 9.4 mm and wrapped in an aluminum casing. It carries a Li-Po battery that has a capacity of 5,000 mAh and an output rate of 1.5A. The CP-F5 can supply energy for up to 2 hours and can reach full charge in just 6 hours. Even after a thousand charges, it will be able to retain 90% of its capacity. It’s bigger brother, the CP-F10L, offers twice the capacity at 10,000 mAh. But not only does it have twice the capacity, it also features two USB ports, allowing two devices to be charged at the same time, with an output rating of 3.6A or 1.8A for each port. As such, this portable charger sports a slightly larger aluminum case, standing at 70.4 mm x 130.6 mm x 16.5 mm. It will take 1.5 hours for the battery to fully drain and 7-8 hours to be fully recharged. So far, only the CP-F5 portable charger is available in Sony Centers and electronics stores in India. There is no word yet on global availability of either chargers. The CP-F5 sells for 2,790 Indian rupees, roughly $42, while the CP-F10L is expected to sell for $76. VIA: GSMArena
