Weekend Gaming: Sine Mora shooter hits Google Play
Aug 11th 2013, 19:24, by Cory Gunther

The extremely popular and visually stunning arcade style shoot’em up title Sine Mora has finally arrived on Android. While searching for a good game for you all to enjoy this weekend we came across this title thanks to AndroidPolice, which is readily available on most platforms, including the PC, and knew it would be worth mentioning for you mobile gamers. For more details, pictures, and a quick video check it out below.

Sine Mora is basically a 3D style shoot’em up style game, and it has quite the following on PC, Xbox live, and even PS3, and we’re happy to see it arrive on Android. It has some pretty great graphics for a mobile game too. We can’t fully call it 3D, as it’s technically a horizontal side-shooter, but the stunning 3D graphics are enough to let it qualify. It seriously looks gorgeous, especially on a 1080p device.

You’ll be enjoying 7 beautiful stages or levels all taking place in space, where you’ll have to do the usual “spray & pray” hold your finger on the trigger method along with time extensions to keep the gaming alive. You’ll have to shoot your way through tons of enemies, and do so quickly. Without talking much, take a peek at their video trailer.

Now don’t get too excited, as this game runs you $5.99 on the Play Store. It’s a big price to pay, but the game and graphics are awesome, and it will provide hours of fun. Whether you’re enjoying the story mode, or the casual arcade action. There’s over 50 weapon combos, tons of upgrades and additions to make gaming even better, and they even offer a wide array of control options. Sadly there doesn’t appear to be controller support, nor does it work with NVIDIA SHIELD, but they’ve added multiple control schemes and surely one will work for you.

Between having awesome graphics, great gameplay and shoot’em up style mechanics, and tons of options with a detailed storyline, you’ll see why they’re asking $5.99 for the title. It’s certainly worth it, so grab it from the link below.

VIA: Google Play

NVIDIA Tegra Tab 7 apparently spotted in AnTuTu benchmark, scores 27643
Aug 11th 2013, 20:34, by Chris Smith

Nvidia Tegra 4

NVIDIA's rumored Tegra Tab 7 tablet has apparently been spotted in AnTuTu benchmark, although the product is yet to become official.

Recent rumors have suggested that NVIDIA may be interested to launch its own 7-inch tablet, which may be called the Tegra Tab 7 – a name for which NVIDIA already holds a trademark.

China's Shenzhen Homecare Technology will reportedly make the device, and we'll notice that the alleged AnTuTu benchmark test shows that a "TegraTab7-Premium" device has been tested in China.

Running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and sporting a 1810MHz chip – we assume it's a NVIDIA Tegra 4 CPU – the device scored a more than decent 27643. But that number is significantly lower than what the Shield console scored in the same test.

Tegra Tab 7 AnTuTu score

That said, we'll remind you that there's always a chance such tests are fakes, so we'll take it with the appropriate grain of salt.

At this time, it's not clear when a Tegra Tab 7 will be launched. But the company must certainly not be happy with the fact that other Android OEMs have not chosen the Tegra 4 processors to power their 2013 devices – aside from its Shield console, there aren't that many Tegra 4 devices out there.

The Tegra Tab 7 is said to pack a 7-inch display with 1280 x 736 resolution, 5-megapixel camera, microUSB, microHDMI and stylus support.

Galaxy Note 3 product mentioned in Samsung SideSync app online documentation
Aug 11th 2013, 19:29, by Chris Smith

Samsung logo

The Galaxy Note 3 product name has already been found in the Samsung SideSync app online documentation, with a few weeks ahead of its official announcement.

The fact that a third-gen Galaxy Note 3 is coming this fall is hardly a secret anymore, and it's not like we don't know the device's commercial name – the support documents list "Galaxy Note III" as its official product name. However, the fact that Samsung already officially acknowledges it in app documentation suggests that the device could be soon launched.

Samsung has scheduled a September 4 media event – a few days before the IFA German trade show kicks off – with the Galaxy Note 3 most likely being the star of the show. However, launch dates for the device are not yet available.

Introduced a few months ago, the SideSync app lets users share the "screen, windows and data" between Samsung Android devices and Samsung Windows 8 PCs.

Galaxy Note 3 SideSync

From the looks of it, the Galaxy Note 3 may come with SideSync already preloaded – the online SideSync installation guide for PC mentions the Galaxy Note 3 quite a few times, suggesting that some of the described steps are not necessary for the Galaxy Note 3 (see Source link below for more details), including installing the phone app in order for SideSync to work.

Are you buying the Galaxy Note 3 first chance you get, or are you waiting for other smartphones to launch this fall?

Alleged Sony Honami camera sample confirms 20.7-megapixel shooter
Aug 11th 2013, 20:04, by Chris Smith

Sony Logo

A fresh alleged camera sample image apparently taken with the Sony Honami has been spotted online, confirming that the device will indeed pack a 20-megapixel shooter, as previously rumored.

The image itself isn't groundbreaking – we're looking at a bike in this one – but we're interested in the EXIF data which reveals more interesting details about the device that took the photo.

Assuming that the data hasn't been tampered with, we learn that the picture was taken on August 10 by a certain Taylor Li with a C6902 device whose camera is made by Sony and has a resolution of 5248 x 3936 (or 20.65-megapixel), a 4:3 aspect ratio and f/2.0 aperture.

The C6902 is believed to be the Sony Honami (rumored product name for the device is Xperia i1), with the device having received GCF certification on August 9. For what it's worth, the Honami has also received FCC certification.

Sony Honami camera sample

The Sony Honami is expected to be the next-gen 5-inch Sony flagship smartphone, which will be unveiled during a special media event on September 4 – on the same date, the Galaxy Note 3 from Samsung will also become official.

In addition to the already mentioned 5-inch Full HD display and 20.7-megapixel camera with Sony G lens and BIONZ Image processing engine, the Sony Honami is also rumored to be waterproof and dustproof, and offer a 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, 3000mAh battery and Android Jelly Bean.

AC on the road: What's in Andrew's gear bag
Aug 11th 2013, 17:42, by Andrew Martonik

Andrew's gear bag

Phones, tablets, computers and cameras - see what I'm using right now.

As Jerry has reminded us, it's been a while since we've taken the time to show what devices and gear we're using on a daily basis to keep the content coming to the site and when we have some down time as well. Working for Android Central has the awesome benefit of getting to use some of the latest and greatest devices, but when we find things we love — Android-powered or otherwise — we spend our own hard-earned cash on them and hold them close.

I try to keep my gear as efficient as possible to cut down on clutter and weight (nobody likes back problems), while still having everything I need to get work done and stay connected. So over the months I've whittled down my technology and accessories to just the essentials with very few frills.

This by no means should be taken as an ultimate compendium of the best devices and best way to do things — even I'm constantly questioning my setup — but it surely works for me right now and I'm happy to share how it all fits together. Read along after the break and see what's in my gear bag today.
