  • First look at the Alcatel One Touch Idol (6030a) and Idol Ultra (6033)

  • At the international exhibition Mobile World Congress (MWC) in 2013, Alcatel, which manufactures products under the TCL Communication brand in China, presented two original smartphones: Alcatel One Touch Idol and Alcatel One Touch Idol Ultra. The originality lies in the fact that they have a very thin body and low weight. For example, the thickness of the younger model Idol is 7.9 mm, and the oldest one is only 6.45 mm, which makes the Idol Ultra the thinnest smartphone in the world. Both gadgets weigh less than 110 grams, provided that the size of the diagonals is more than 4.5 inches.
    The cost of the devices is already known. Alcatel Idol smartphone will be sold for 10 000 rubles, Alcatel Idol Ultra for 13 000 rubles. Will go on sale at the end of the first quarter of this year.

  • HUAWEI at MWC 2013: a stylish mid-range LTE smartphone

    Against the background of the previously presented Ascend D2 - the first Full HD smartphone Huawei - and Ascend Mate - the world's first smartphone with a diagonal of more than 6 inches, the novelty is lost. In the Ascend P2, an already-used screen with an HD resolution (1280 x 720 pixels) is used, the diagonal is 4.7 inches, the battery capacity is not the largest, 2420 mAh. It turned out pretty in appearance, but a completely ordinary device, which is a lot (take the Nexus 4, LG Optimus G for example).

Incredible New Nvidia CPU Performance

NVIDIA introduced Tegra 4 at CES, we tried hard to find out anything about future devices with this stuffing. And although our first impressions were positive, it’s not that crazy performance was demonstrated then. In the end, Tegra 3 quietly handles video in FHD quality, and the graphics and games are already very good. Fortunately for all of you, we just got our chance: here at the Mobile World Congress, the company brought tablets with this processor on board. So we tested, tested and tested.

Attached Image


As you can see, these numbers are impressive, but before we go any further, we have to give up responsibility. Ideally, we should have a tablet with Tegra 3, such as: Sony Xperia Tablet S or at least Acer a 700. In principle, other tablets on multi-core processors came to us. Unfortunately, later we didn’t have any of these devices for retesting. But later, after the sale of devices with a new processor, we will definitely repeat our tests.

However. Just look at the results of these tests. Even if we repeat all our tests on more powerful tablets, will we see at least in one of the tests an unheard of 16 thousand parrots in a Quadrant or 40 thousand in a CF-Bench? The results are amazing.

Particularly striking was the fact that the SunSpider test produced such a low figure, because the same iPad 4 produces an average of 865, and the Chrome 190 desktop browser. Previously, we were used to the fact that the difference between a desktop browser and a browser on our tablet is much larger. Perhaps soon tablet browsers will overtake the desktop?

Also in the GLBench test, the result was 57 frames per second, but we did not include it in the table, since other tablets were tested on an earlier version of this benchmark.

LG Optimus F7 and F5: the first reviews

Attached Image

After several leaks last week, the device was only presented to the public today. Two new smartphones belong to the middle class and their main feature is the transition from 3G to LTE. But that's not all, 4.7-inch F7 and 4.3-inch F5, between them a lot in common. Both work on Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and have the same dual-core processors, 8 GB of internal memory, 1.3-megapixel front cameras, and of course the proprietary LG shell.

I must say that both devices of the F-series are really pleasing to the eye and are felt very significantly in the hand, although the F7 looks a bit more attractive. The home button of the older model is very similar to that in SGS3, the differences between the models are very small. F7 is equipped with a camera button, the younger brother does not have it.

There is nothing especially in this model, most likely it is only an operator version of the phone. So far, the operator swears that this phone will be available to everyone and everyone, but no details about its price or characteristics are yet known.

Notice why is Vogue tile there? This is because Nokia, having cooled down after everything that we saw earlier, for example: a 41 megapixel camera, decided to release a 'social' smartphone (something similar we already saw on HTC). The smartphone is made for hyper sociable people, the case is made of well-known polycarbonate, but in a smoother form factor than the Lumia 920. The smartphone is equipped with a 4.3-inch screen with a resolution of 800x480, 128 grams weighs, and Nokia has not forgotten about NFC. The 'iron' part is the same as that of the younger model: the same dual-core Snapdragon, 512 MB of RAM. And the most interesting for many is the 2000Mach battery.

Nokia again focuses our attention on the smartphone camera. Nokia uses Carl Zeiss optics, and the company again says that the camera will produce very good images with a lack of lighting. But do not trust the company too much, you should wait for real photos.

Currently, this unit is being prepared for sale in Asia and some parts of Europe. In America, sales are not planned yet, or there will be a carrier version. Also, Nokia again offers us a choice of one of five colors. The average price is € 249 (about $ 330 USD), it is not worth waiting for the device before the second quarter.

ASUS FonePad: 7-inch tablet for $ 249

Attached Image

We already knew that, ASUS is preparing a product called FonePad, a 7-inch tablet with built-in phone functions (yes, like the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0). Well, ASUS just officially introduced it here at the Mobile World Congress. First, the rumors about its specification are all true: it really is an Intel processor - Atom Z2420 1.2 GHz, and 1 GB of RAM, GPU PowerVR SGX540, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and HSPA +. Moreover, a capacious battery with a capacity of 4270 mah means about 9 hours of battery life.

From the point of view of appearance, FonePad has a smooth metal cover, which significantly distinguishes it in appearance from the same size Nexus 7. MicroSD card slot, by the way, supports 32 GB cards, which should be useful, because 16 GB of internal memory is not enough for anyone . In addition, the tablet has a 3-megapixel rear and 1.2-megapixel front camera, 7-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280x800.
