tablette Asus VivoTab RT

We Asus a few days ago to feel the new range of products under Windows 8 and Windows RT. The company took the opportunity to rename its range: we do not speak Pad Transformer when it comes to Windows RT, but rather VivoTab.
This range is available in several models, several different sizes and configurations, but obviously does not concern us all. We discussed a bit in writing and we felt it would be legitimate to a site dedicated to mobility deal only with RT Windows, the operating system Microsoft ARM version. This limits us so this time the VivoTab RT, since the rest is clearly too bulky to enter our editorial. So, VivoTab RT, what what?

First, it is a touchscreen tablet that looks to be mistaken for a Pad Transformer. You will find lines slate Android and more or less the same pattern: the Tegra 3, 32 GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, 8 mpx camera and a 2 mpx webcam, a microSD slot, a USB port 2.0 on the dock and an HDMI port on the tablet. Obviously, as you have noted in this enumerated list, the outstanding feature of this model will become a real little netbook. Finally, "small" in size and not by the price: it will take € 699 for the tablet with the keyboard dock - which is much more expensive than a 10-inch netbook with the full version of Windows 8 eg.

Huawei unveils the Ascend D2, a quad-core Android 5 inches to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2

After 2 Honor, Huawei unveils new smartphone that should be talked about: the Ascend 2. With its 5-inch screen and quad-core chipset, the newcomer should position itself in direct competition with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Certainly, Huawei is now unleashed. After announcing yesterday Honor 2, the Chinese manufacturer has just lifted the veil on the Ascend 2. The device is clearly positioned as a competitor to the Galaxy Note 2 because it proposes a 5-inch screen that class immediately into the category phablets.

For the rest, Huawei has not delivered the complete datasheet of its smartphone to come. We know however that the beast will have a quad-core chipset (perhaps with the processor K3V house), a 13 megapixel camera sensor, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and a 3000 mAh battery. However, the manufacturer did not provide the resolution of the screen. But we imagine it will be the month HD 720p (1280 x 720 pixels). Similarly, no price or availability date have filtered for the moment.

Google Nexus 7: 999 998, 999 999 and ... almost 1 million!

No, this figure is not small. No, it does not correspond to the margin of the Asus Nexus 7, not more than the number of applications on the Play Store. This million is roughly the number of units sold by the manufacturer to partner Google. Per month.It throws, huh? Such a figure, we used to see from Apple or Samsung, but never with other manufacturers, especially in the tablet market. Like what formula Nexus worked perfectly, even if Google does not earn a penny by selling these products at low prices, the public is deceived. David Chang, CFO of Asus, just said it sold a little less of a Nexus 7 million per month. It is unclear what this "little bit", but even if we are pessimistic and we believe sales 800,000 units per month, it is already huge.
For comparison, excluding Apple, Amazon can only boast of having a similar score on the shelf last year with its Kindle Fire and the USA only. Problem: the giant sales declined rapidly after the holidays, when users have found that the tablet was a portal to the premium content and we could not do much more with it. Google sells the same strategy in mind: to deploy a large number of units without margin to display and sell the advertising content afterwards. The only difference is the Nexus 7 tablets are excellent in themselves and offer free applications is consistent on Google Play.
As a result, sales do not improve, and even tend to grow. With the release of the Nexus 7 32GB 3G, we bet also allow a new public captivated by the jewel of Google. All this should create a virtuous circle, because that says more users mean more potential income for developers, said more quality applications. Good for us!

Samsung has just lifted the veil on a new Android smartphone, the Galaxy Prime. It has the features of Galaxy S3 features and slightly better than the Galaxy Nexus.
Between photos and specifications already revealed, there was not much to tell about the Samsung Galaxy Prime. That did not stop the Korean manufacturer to crack a statement to formalize its latest smartphones.

The first thing that strikes you when discovered, or rather when we had discovered the first pictures leak a few days ago, is the extreme similarity between the first and the Galaxy Galaxy S3. The design of the latter seems to decline brought on several fronts since we saw a few weeks ago that the Galaxy S3 would also carry Mini.

To return to the Galaxy Prime just unveiled its characteristics have nothing of a surprise since they are quite similar to those of the Galaxy Nexus, but still a little higher with respect to the rate of the processor and the resolution of the camera. Here they are in detail:

• A Super AMOLED HD 4.65-inch (1280 x 720 pixels)
• A sensor 8 megapixel back camera and a 1.9 megapixel front

(Exclu) Google Nexus 4 will not be available from SFR before the end of the year

We learned that the chances of the Google Nexus 4 referenced in SFR catalog on 13 November are slim. However, the operator was supposed market upon its release, and a preview for two months. Exclusive, we explain the reasons for the delay.

 That the announcement of the new range of Google Nexus marked the spirits yesterday is the euphemism. With rates as low as those released yesterday, the application should be quite daunting, especially for the Nexus 4 smartphone manufactured by LG. This is indeed 299 euros announced in 8GB version and 349 euros for 16 GB memory, mobile competitors offering the same kind of sheet is displayed on their side between 200 and 400 euros more expensive! A bottomless pit tariff should also confirm when the device will be available with subscriptions among operators.
Or rather in the operator should write to us. A rumor in effect for several days that SFR would have negotiated a preview of two months for the Nexus 4. The news did not really surprising since the operator red square has always been the first to market smartphones Nexus range.

Laid bare the fourth iPad: a benchmark confirms that the machine is twice as powerful as its big brother

Unveil a new product just 6 months after the sale of the above? You can call it a short cycle next update. Improvements fourth iPad are they really live up to expectations?


Practical side, we doubt. The iPad 3 is an excellent machine and water has flowed under the bridge before applications actually take advantage of the four cores of the new processor. However, in theory, Apple promised performance twice as high for the famous "A6X." Those who love numbers can rejoice: this was apparently not a vulgar lie to wriggle the business nerd dormant in us.

The processor is a quadruple heart A6X clocked at 1.4 GHz, a bit swifter than the iPhone 5 clocked at 1.3 Ghz. GPU side, it is a supported GPU quadruple heart too, which should streamline the display of the most demanding games on the tablet. The first benchmarks of the beast show the potential gain is pretty huge: the iPad 3 reaches a score of 791 with its dual heart, iPad 4 peaks at 1757, before the iPhone 5 that reached him in 1571. These values ​​obviously did not make much sense, the figures are just benchmarks to provide a basis of comparison, but they show that Apple has not oversold his goods

The Nokia Lumia 920 is compatible with 4G French!

   

 This information is passed almost unnoticed at the time of the announcement of the Nokia Lumia 920 in France, but which may be of the utmost importance to us in the coming months. When the Finnish manufacturer has unveiled its new smartphone feature, the same one that begins to be marketed these days, it was revealed that the Lumia 920 was compatible with the 4G French.

A characteristic far from trivial at the time SFR will begin deploying its 4G network by the end of November. Especially since other operators will obviously follow suit in the short term. The Lumia 920 is found to be the time the only high-end smartphone compatible with 4G French. Its direct competitors are the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3, Sony Xperia and other HTC T + One X are more compatible with standard DC-HSDPA (Dual Carrier) for some among them-.

ZTE U950

Casually, presenting a high-end smartphone at $ 299, Google pulled the legs in its ecosystem. Who can compete with such a product? The answer probably comes from China.


Casually, presenting a high-end smartphone at $ 299, Google pulled the legs in its ecosystem. Who can compete with such a product? The answer probably comes from China.

After Huawei, it was the turn of ZTE drawing his entry-level smartphone doped hormones. The first constructor is trying to impose on the segment of high-end offering minimum prices still below that of Google. The second spell his arms, giving a good power boost gear input and midrange.

The U950 is the proof: no, it is not a smartphone HD, but still the machine could appeal. A 4.3-inch screen, Android 4.0, nVidia Tegra 3 clocked at 1.3 GHz and supported by 1 GB of RAM: we have a beautiful machine that has nothing to envy to the latest models of the major manufacturers. That these manufacturers can envy however, is the price: the new ZTE will be available from $ 160.

Admittedly, it does not have all the features fashionable, but it is much bigger than anything being done today in this price range. Remains to be seen if the Chinese manufacturer will seek to export or subject to its territory permanently. Anyway, competition is likely to be on Android increased to a level never seen since the creation of the OS. And there will inevitably be killed in battle.

Huawei Honor 2: a quad-core Android overkill for an incredibly low price

 

Alongside the announcement of Google on its new range Nexus, the Chinese manufacturer Huawei has  unveiled an Android-powerful, both have a quad-core chipset, 2GB of RAM, a large HD screen. But above all proposed about 235 euros in China! Since the first Honor was released in France, hope that it will follow the same path.
 
Between announcements of large spans of Google and Microsoft yesterday announced Huawei Honor 2 went almost unnoticed. However, the smartphone is very attractive on paper since it provides the following specifications:
• A 4.5-inch screen with 1280 x 720 pixels
• A quad-core chipset Huawei K3V2 1.4GHz
• 2 GB of memory (RAM)
• 8 GB of internal storage + microSD slot
• A backlit camera sensor (BSI) 8 megapixel capable of shooting Full HD
Characteristics very similar to those of Google Nexus 4 and thus make high-end device. Yet, as always with Huawei, the advertised price is pretty sweet since the Chinese manufacturer will distribute from the weekend in his homeland, to 1888 Chinese yuan, or about 235 euros. Yes, you read that right, it is still cheaper than the Nexus 4 announced yesterday, so we were already saying that prices were "sacrificed". Hopefully as the first Honor, his successor finds its way into our French boutiques. And above all, its price is also affordable

LG Nexus 4: Android 4.1 and not Android Jelly Bean 4.2 for launch?

A passerby photographed storefront Carephone Warehouse where sat already LG Nexus 4. Surprise, the card indicated that the smartphone will be running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and not Android 4.2 as sensed for weeks ...
While Google conference to be held in early afternoon was finally shifted due to hurricane, this has not prevented distributors of LG Nexus 4 to begin preparations for the launch of the device in stores.

Almost everything has been said about this fourth installment of the Nexus line, which will this time manufactured by LG. After HTC, Samsung and the Korean manufacturer is the third to have the "honor" to offer a 100% Google smartphone. However, the Nexus 4 will be characterized by an incredible propensity to unfold before its launch. Between the stolen photos, the prototype leak testing before the time, and even the launch of a pre-order form with full details of the device, we already know of the appliance.

However, there is still a point that could change before the official launch. The pre-order page mentioned above is no longer online. But she clearly evoked Android 4.2 for the Nexus 4. What would have been only logical given that mobile branded "Nexus" always have the latest version of Google's operating system. And well before any other Android smartphones on the market.

So what about the photo below which was published by a member of XDA-forum Developpers and relayed by Android Authority? She was taken to a shop Carephone Warehouse, which had already started installing the LG Nexus 4 in its window. What is really surprising is that the device is listed as running Android 4.1 ... Jelly Bean. It is of course possible that this image is a fake. Or the small descriptive panel (we've grown in the second photo below) is simply wrong. We hope to LG for the bad reputation of the manufacturer for updated not find nothing arranged by the fact that its Nexus is the first does not have the latest version of Android
