Zuk z1

En Androidsis nos encanta conocer nuevos fabricantes de cualquier parte del planeta pero, como bien sabréis, China es el país por excelencia que más fabricantes de teléfonos móviles hay por metro cuadrado. Así que es lógico que muchas de las noticias que publicamos salga tengan relación con el país asiático.

Hoy os vamos hablar de una compañía que hasta la fecha suena a desconocida pero que quizás, y si todo le va bien en el futuro, tengamos más noticias sobre ella. Se trata de ZUK. Esta compañía con sede en China, tiene el respaldo de Lenovo y Qiboo 360, lo que hace que tengamos que estar atentos a los movimientos del fabricante y su futura gama de dispositivos.

ZUK ha presentado el ZUK Z1, un terminal que tiene unas especificaciones de alta gama y a un precio rompedor. El nuevo teléfono móvil inteligente chino ,lucirá una pantalla de 5,5 pulgadas con resolución FullHD lo que se resume a 1920 x 1080 píxeles en pantalla. En su interior encontramos un hardware del cuál ya conocemos debido a que lo hemos visto en otros dispositivos. Por lo tanto, vemos como el ZUK Z1 incorpora un procesador Snapdragon 801 fabricado por Qualcomm a una velocidad de reloj de 2,5 GHz y junto a este SoC le acompañan 3 GB de memoria de RAM y 64 GB de almacenamiento interno.

Entre otras especificaciones no menos importantes vemos como, en su apartado fotográfico, la cámara principal situada en la parte trasera será de 13 Megapíxeles con sensor IMX214 de Sony y una apertura f/ 2.2 . Por lo que respecta a su cámara frontal será de 8 Megapíxeles con sensor OmniVision, perfecta para la realización de selfies y vídeollamadas. Su batería será de 4.100 mAh y no se podrá sacar del dispositivo, tendrá un puerto USB-C, correrá bajo Android 5.1.1 Lollipop bajo una capa de personalización de la propia empresa, aunque es posible que, si la empresa decide importar el smartphone a otros mercados, el dispositivo corra bajo Cyanogen OS, debido a que los servicios de Google están prohibidos en el país asiático.

Además por si estas especificaciones no fuesen suficientes, el ZUK Z1 incorporará escáner de huellas dactilares, DUAL-SIM, conectividad 4G/LTE, disponibles en color blanco y/o gris, unas dimensiones de 155,7 mm x 77,3 mm x 8,9 mm y tan sólo un peso de 175 gramos. Pero lo mejor de todo nos lo dejamos para el final y es que, su precio será de 285 dólares al cambio. Lo negativo de todo esto es que, tendremos que esperar a un distribuidor para poder adquirir el producto.

Qualcomm begins talking up GPU and image quality in Snapdragon 820

Posted on by

Qualcomm has a history of revealing its tech early in order to build interest around it. In typical fashion, the company has just announced the GPU that will be used in the upcoming Snapdragon 820 processor. That GPU happens to be the Adreno 530 and Qualcomm is boasting about some of its benefits. Most notably, the Adreno 530 GPU delivers a 40 percent increase in graphics performance as well as up to 40 percent reduced power consumption.

In addition, Qualcomm has revealed the Image Signal Processor that will be used within the Snapdragon 820. The Spectra dual-ISP features support for the newest 14-bit sensors for a better color range. It also features a new framework for autofocus and improved algorithms that should lead to overall improved camera quality.

Qualcomm has stated that the Snapdragon 820 will begin appearing in devices within the first half of 2016.

LG Nexus and Huawei Nexus specs leak, suggest very similar devices

Posted on by

The upcoming Nexus phones will be split between two makers – LG bringing a more compact 5.2″ handset and Huawei making the larger 5.7″ phablet. We’ve seen rounds of leaks detail the specs, but it looks like they will be roughly the same device differing mostly in size.

The LG Nexus will pack a 5.2″ in a (probably) metal body. Front-facing speakers bump up the size of the thing to 146.9 x 72.9 x 9.8m (8mm at the thinnest part). Other goodies include a fingerprint reader on the back and a USB Type C.

The Huawei Nexus will have 5.7″ screen in a (more certainly) metal body with front-facing speakers again. This bumps up the size to 159.4 x 78.3 x 8.5mm (6.6mm at the thinnest). The back fingerprint sensor and USB Type C will also be on board.

An earlier leak showed an impressive score from the LG Nexus (though we wouldn’t put much weight on benchmark scores this early) and revealed a 1080p screen resolution. The Huawei Nexus meanwhile will probably be powered by a Snapdragon 820 and feature a QHD…

SIGGRAPH 2015: Qualcomm Discloses Snapdragon 820 Graphics And Display Capabilities, Looks Strong

Posted on by

At the annual professional graphics conference, SIGGRAPH 2015, Qualcomm today joined many companies that disclosed their latest graphics technologies. Qualcomm took this opportunity to show those in the graphics industry what kind of a user experience their upcoming 820 SoC is capable of delivering in such a small package. The new Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, announced at Mobile World Congress earlier this year, has a multitude of new graphical and video capabilities, with the core of them being in the SoC’s new Adreno 530 GPU, which promises massive improvements over the previous generation in more than one way. While we haven’t see the new mobile smartphone graphics silicon from ARM Holdings which powers Samsung Electronics S6 or Imagination Technologies which powers Apple smartphones, we can say that the new Adreno 530 at launch could be the most feature-rich and highest performance graphics silicon in a smartphone.

Streaming Service Rdio Will Now Let You Listen To Hundreds Of Radio Stations

Posted on by

Despite the growing influence of streaming platforms, radio is still very important for millions of Americans, but the two have a hard time coming together. Many people listen to radio in their cars, and then switch to streaming options when they are at their computers or on their phones. It’s not that radio stations aren’t available online, but for some time now it’s been clear that many see radio as appropriate for one time of their day, while different access points for music are better for others. It doesn’t need to be that way however, and one streaming service is now looking to bridge that gap for millions.
