It is no exaggeration to say that Sony's new flagship Android tablet, the Xperia Tablet Z, is one of the most impressive pieces of technology I have ever laid my eyes and hands on. It packs a set of competitive hardware specifications, a truly excellent display and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean into a slim 6.9mm frame that weighs just 495g, making it slimmer than an iPad mini and lighter than a 4th-generation iPad ...

We have seen Alvin and CJ already provide their thoughts on the HTC One, but what about from a completely different perspective? Perhaps from the perspective of someone who is very critical of Android? Here's where I come in. Back in February, I was lucky enough to attend the launch of the HTC One, here in Sydney. The event was buzzing with excitement, before it even began. I remember pushing my way to the ...

Hey look, it's a new Galaxy S phone! Sure it might look similar to the Galaxy S III. And the Galaxy Grand. And the Galaxy Note. And the Galaxy Mega. And the... well you get the point. That being said thanks to the Galaxy S range of smartphones, Samsung has been able to create these other series of smartphones, so it'd make sense they'd want to stick to a very familiar design, as disappointing as it might be ...

Lenovo, after defying the trend in the PC market by posting record profits and shipments, has now focussed its attention on the mobile front and is aggressively entering the markets outside of China from the past few months. Just yesterday, they announced their upcoming product lineup for the second half of 2013 which includes devices like the A706, S820, S920, P780 and the K900. In the leadup to their seco ...

Egads it's a phone with a keyboard! Behold the Nokia Asha 210. Ah a good ol’ QWERTY keyboard. I know quite a few people who really want a nice cheap phone with decent battery life and a QWERTY keyboard, and that's what the Nokia Asha 210 promises to be. And then some. Announced earlier this year, the Nokia Asha 210 is a Dual-SIM phone (single SIM version also available in some regions) that offers the basic ...

Asus released a new 7 inch tablet this year, and it features a microphone, and a SIM card slot pushing it very far into phone territory. It also boasts Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, powered by a 1.2 Ghz single core Intel Atom processor, and a 7 inch 1200 x 800 pixel resolution display. Ofcourse the obvious question to ask is, does that make it better than the Nexus 7, the other 7 inch Android Tablet that everyo ...

Sony tried something a little interesting this year. While most manufacturers like Samsung, HTC and Nokia released one flagship, high-end smartphone, the Japanese manufacturer decided to release two. Kinda. The waterproof, glass sandwich that was the Sony Xperia Z and the not-waterproof and less-expensive Sony Xperia ZL. Specs-wise the Xperia ZL is almost identical to the Xperia Z. You have the same 5 inch, ...

We got the very limited Man of Steel Edition Nokia wireless charging pillow by Fatboy this week. The Man of Steel Edition will be somewhat limited and only released in a handful of countries apparently, though we have yet to get confirmation on exactly which parts of the world will get it. The geek accessory is part of the partnership that Nokia has with the new Superman Man of Steel movie, that has seen th ...

Earlier today, Sony officially launched the Xperia Tablet Z in Singapore and I was fortunate enough to be able to get some hands-on time with the company's new flagship Android tablet at the press event. The Tablet Z will hit Singapore store shelves on 6th June, with local pricing to be announced within the next week; it was also launched in India today for a recommended retail price of Rs. 46,990. In case ...

The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 and Galaxy Mega 5.8 launched in India yesterday. We took a quick look at the Galaxy Mega 6.3 earlier but here's what we think of the slightly-smaller-but-still-huge Galaxy Mega 5.8. The Galaxy Mega 5.8 uses the same design as the Galaxy S4, Galaxy Grand and other recent Samsung smartphones, but is much larger. Not as humungous at the Galaxy Mega 6.3 though, but still bigger than ...

Samsung launched both the Galaxy Mega 5.8 and Galaxy Mega 6.3 phablet smartphones here in India today. The two phones are targeted towards people who want a large screen, and as such are pretty huge. They also happen to be pretty similar in terms of design with the same patterned polycarbonate plastics, but differ a lot in terms of hardware. Let's break it down, for ya. The Galaxy Mega 5.8 (8GB) measures 16 ...

The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 and Galaxy Mega 5.8 launched in India today. We managed to score some time with both devices, but since I'm still rendering the video for the Galaxy Mega 5.8, here's what we thought of the much larger, Galaxy Mega 6.3. First of all, the thing is HUGE. The 4.7 inch display of my HTC One looked positively minuscule next to the Mega 6.3 and heck even the Note II seemed tiny in compa ...

Y'know a lot of people said we were too hard on the Samsung REX 90 in our review. Well, actually noone said that, and pretty much everyone agreed with our review, but for argument sake let's say some people did. Initially I was hoping to do this versus an Asha 501 with it's awesome new Swipe UI, but we had an Asha 310 lying around, so I figured why not just put the two against each other to prove my point. ...

The Sony Xperia E Dual is a new, cheap, Dual-SIM Android smartphone that was finally released here in India last month. Along with the affordable price tag, you have decent-ish hardware, such as a 1 Ghz processor, 3.2 Megapixel camera and 3.5 inch display as well as access to all the apps and games available on Google's Play Store But budget Android phones have a certain reputation for being a little, well, ...

Micromax has been pretty successful with their ’Canvas’ range of large sized display, affordably priced, Android smartphones like the Canvas HD, so it figures that they'd want to experiment. Enter the Micromax Canvas 3D. It's been a while since we've played around with a 3D phone. The last, was the LG Optimus 3D over a year ago. Micromax’s entry though, has the advantage of an affordable price tag, Android ...
