HTC has a tough time last year and they want to get back on track by announcing a new premium handset to blow its rivals’ minds. It’s called HTC One (not HTC M7), what a weird name! Describing the HTC One range of devices are already confusing enough. As expected, the device is powered by a 4.7-inch full HD display with incredible 468ppi, 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB/64GB of internal storage and a 2300mAh battery. HTC One is the first smartphone that has dual front-facing stereo speaker and an “ultrapixel” built-camera, which are something that won’t see in other smartphones yet. Will it become a legend? Check it out after the break…

This is how much the Russian government hates the fake phones and smuggling. Over 127 units of fake iPhones were confiscated by Russian customs after a Chinese smuggler unsuccessfully proved they were genuine. He got fined for about 65 dollars, and over $36,500 of smuggle goods were executed by an excavator and were burnt in the boiler house in front of a gathered crowd of witnesses, and it was filmed to warn posterity. Can’t they just destroy the fake phones in a more simple way than using the excavator? Video after the break.

CES 2013: ZTE Grand S Is Extremely Thin With 5-inch 1080p Display And 4G LTE (Video)

Herman Lai, Jan 9, 2013 3:02 AM, 702 views, Got something to say ?,

Remember ZTE unveiled Nubia Z5 during last Christmas? As it turns out, this ZTE Grand S at CES seems to be the U.S. version of it, although both specs are not exactly the same. ZTE Grand S features 5-inch 1080p display with 440ppi, 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage (with a microSD card slot). As a 5-inch device, it’s just 6.9mm at its thinnest point, the company also labelled it as the “World’s Thinnest”. But apparently, that isn’t true, not even the thinnest one can be seen at CES, as Lenovo also revealed K900 with slim 6.9mm profile. The only special thing that we found on Grand is the 4G LTE, and it seems like it’s the first 5-inch smartphone from China that announced with 4G LTE connectivity at CES this year. More info after the break.

CES 2013: ASUS “Qube” To Wipe Up The Failure Of Nexus Q?

Herman Lai, Jan 8, 2013 11:35 AM, 663 views, 1 Comment »,

ASUS Qube just sounds about the same as Nexus Q, but it seems to have a better prospect than Google’s own creation. It’s powered by Google TV but with ASUS’s own customization “Qube interface”, which is quite surprising to see since we were expecting the Qube to be the “Nexus” Google TV device. The black diagonal designed Qube will come with some snazzy sounding features, including motion sensing via remote control and voice control for opening apps as well as for surfing the Web and TV channels on a rotating on-screen cube shape inteface. Users will also be able to access to Google Play Store to download games and apps on your TV. And of course, not to miss out, that means it will include over 100,000 TV shows and movies through Google TV, which includes Amazon, Netflix, YouTube, HBO Go and a lot more.
