Blackberry Venice shows up again in new pictures

Posted on by

Blackberry’s upcoming Android slider, the Blackberry Venice, has popped up once again in a new set of images from a couple of different sources. At this point, it’s all but officially confirmed that the Venice will be Blackberry’s entry into the Android world. It features a large display and Android Lollipop in addition to its distinctive feature, which is a full QWERTY keyboard that can be accessed by sliding the display up.

From the leaks, we can also see SIM and microSD ports residing on the top of the device, with a volume rocker and power button sitting on the right side of the device. The back of the device holds what looks to be an 18-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization and a dual LED flash, though we’ll have to wait and see how it performs in the real world. The Venice is running Android Lollipop, though plenty of rumors have pegged it as having some customizations, one of which is a tweaked app switcher screen that we can see in one of the leaked images.

We’ll keep you posted on any more leaks concerning the Blackberry Venice.

Blackberry Venice live unit pictured, packs an 18MP OIS camera

Posted on by

It was about time the BlackBerry Venice followed the numerous leaks with a live appearance and today’s the day. The Canadian company’s foray into the Android realm is apparently imminent, now that a working device has shown up, in this case in the hands of the folks over at Techrum. While we already had a general idea how the smartphone would look, we’re now treated to detailed (well, 0.5MP, but still) images of several key features.

And what’s the single most revered Blackberry feature, if not the hardware QWERTY keyboard? Only here, it’s hidden behind the display and slides out of obscurity only when needed. Sure, you’ll be provided an on-screen one for less intense typing.

In a departure from tradition, the power button has been moved to the left side. In all fairness it would have been ridiculously out of place on the top plate of a tall, slider-type device. That spot has now been reserved for the SIM and microSD slots.

Hands-on with the Blackberry Venice

The headline feature may turn out to be on the back though, and that’s the camera. An 18MP unit, the main shooter boasts optical image stabilization and fast focus, so we’d speculate there’s some phase detection tech. The lens is also joined by a dual-LED flash.

Finally, the images reveal what looks like Android Lollipop, but that’s hardly any news, given that KitKat is two years old and Marshmallow hasn’t been launched yet.

Huawei Watch makes brief appearance on Amazon, could launch next week

Posted on by

While we already know that the Huawei Watch could soon be launched in the United States, it now looks like that’s going to happen as early as next week – the smartwatch made a brief appearance on Amazon, revealing that it’ll be available for purchase starting September 2.

The listing – which has since been removed – also revealed that depending on the price and style, the wearable will cost in the range of $349 to $799, with the former being the price tag of the variant with stainless steel body and black leather strap, while the latter being the cost of the gold-plated model.

Another important detail that was revealed was that the smartwatch will not only work with Android devices but also with iOS devices running OS version 8.2 or up.

Hubble Catches A Cosmic Cluster Lying About Its Age

“No, son, you don’t want to drink beer. That’s for daddies, and kids with fake IDs.” -Homer Simpson

But it isn’t just us humans who lie about their ages. You see, objects in space do the same thing! But much like the plastic-surgery-laden octogenarian whose crow’s feet and fingers are a giveaway, or the bouncer who would have met the entire population of Rhode Island if everyone who went to his Pennsylvania bar was legitimately from there, there are tricks and techniques we can use to spot the impostors.

La mejor Lara llega de nuevo con toda una aventura llena de puzles con Lara Croft Go

Posted on by

Pinche aquí para ver el vídeo

Hace unos meses tuvimos la gran ocasión de acceder al primer título de Lara Croft en Android con Tombraider I. Una gran oportunidad para acercarnos a lo que fueron esas aventuras intrincadas a través de todo tipo de pasajes y puzles, que nos pone casi en la misma sensación de ser Indiana Jones en el Templo Maldito.

De nuevo ha vuelto Lara pero esta vez de una forma espléndida como podemos comprobar en el nuevo videojuego Lara Croft Go que llega desde la misma compañía que trajo Hitman Go. Tomando la misma premisa que este título, y lo que es Tomb Raider y esa poderosa Lara Croft, se ha convertido en toda una experiencia de ocio por la que hay que pasar de algunas de las formas. No lo haremos saltando como hace bien ella, pero sí que comentando alguno de sus detalles y cualidades técnicas.

Desde Square Enix de nuevo Lara Croft

Square Enix ha lanzado Lara Croft Go, un videojuego basado en turnos con muchos puzles y que, como he dicho, ofrece muchas similitudes con el popular Hitman Go de la misma compañía.

Lara Croft Go está puesto en un mundo perdido en el que tenemos que explorar las ruinas de una civilización antigua, descubrir secretos guardados y enfrentarnos a desafíos para ir descubriendo poco a poco que se va encontrando detrás del mito de la Reina del Veneno. Nada que nos sorprenda pero sí lo que esperamos de este videojuego para que nos lleve ante aventuras para recordar.

Lara Croft Go

Con una vista isométrica nos sumergiremos en un mundo perdido en el que nos sorprenderemos por su cantidad de detalles y esos colores planos, que en ciertos momentos le da un aspecto visual al legendario Another World. Un detalle que seguramente nos engatusa ya a primera a muchos y que a base de sombras nos propondrá los nuevos peligros a los que se irá enfrentando esta tan poderosa y habilidosa protagonista.

Calidad técnica simplemente espectacular

Con Lara Croft Go nos enfrentaremos a más de 75 puzles divididos en 5 capítulos, encontraremos todo tipo de reliquias antiguas y podemos vestir a nuestra Lara con aquellas vestimentas que vayamos encontrando.

Lara Croft Go

Para poder ir avanzando a través del juego deberemos de luchar con una buena variedad de enemigos, evitar todo tipo de obstáculos y escapar de trampas mortales. Algo que deseamos y mucho, para que vamos a engañarnos, y más si se hace a través de un videojuego que derrocha calidad por todos los costados. Algo innegable para este título y que pone el listón bastante para este tipo de juegos puzle.

Esto nos lleva ante juegos especiales, que aunque cuesten su dinero, 4,99€, es importante que cada vez veamos más como ellos, ya que aumenta considerablemente la experiencia Android que un usuario puede tomar desde un smartphone o tablet.

Muy bien hecho por parte de Square Enix y esperemos que vuelvan con otra aventura de Lara Croft que nos lleve ante lugares perdidos y regiones del planeta aún por explorar. Muy recomendable si te gustan los buenos juegos.
