Samsung Galaxy S7 variant may feature 5.7-inch display, Snapdragon 820 and 12MP camera

Posted on by

We’ve seen dozens of rumors already, but a new leak suggests yet another variant of the Samsung Galaxy S7 may be in play. According to a post on Reddit, there’s a new variant of the Samsung Galaxy S7 floating around which has a 5.7-inch Quad HD display, Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM and a peculiar 12 megapixel camera. While Samsung’s flagship phones have featured 13 megapixel or higher imaging sensors for the past three years, the 12 megapixel sensor of this rumored device does align with reports that Samsung is working on a 12 megapixel mobile imaging sensor with a larger footprint than the one currently used in the Samsung Galaxy S6. The lower megapixel count and larger size would allow the sensor to capture more light, leading to clearer images – particularly in low-light conditions.

With all the rumors surrounding the Samsung’s Galaxy S7 lineup, keep track of what rumors and credible and which ones aren’t has become quite a chore. This new 5.7-inch Samsung Galaxy S7 rumor appears to be credible, but we’re going to wait a bit longer before we lump it in with the 5.2-inch and 5.5-inch Galaxy S7 rumors.

Would you be willing to buy a phone with a lower resolution camera if it promised to delivery higher quality images?

Posted on by

Today LG has unveiled its new K line of smartphones. This is meant to be the successor to the L series from a while back, as it also features affordable devices with certain premium-like traits.

The first two handsets in the K series are the K10 and K7, both of which have been made official by the Korean company on this occasion.

The K10 (pictured above) has a 5.3-inch 720p touchscreen, a 2,300 mAh battery, Android 5.1 Lollipop on board, and three color versions: white, indigo, and gold. The rest of the specs will vary based on which country you buy the K10 from, as well as whether you get the LTE-capable model or the one that’s 3G-only.

The LTE-enabled iteration of the LG K10 comes with a 13MP rear camera, while the 3G model has to make do with an 8MP main unit. In terms of front-facing snapper you can get either 8 MP or 5 MP resolution, depending on market. RAM amount can be 1GB, 1.5GB, or 2GB, while the internal storage is either 8GB or 16GB.

There are four CPU options, three of which will be found on the LTE K10: 1.2 GHz or 1.3 GHz quad-core, as well as 1.14 GHz octa-core. The 3G K10 will have a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor.

Moving on, the already leaked LG K7 (pictured below) comes with a 5-inch 854×480 touchscreen, a 2,125 mAh battery, a 5 MP selfie shooter, and Android 5.1 Lollipop. Everything else is once again different based on where the phone is sold, and whether you buy the LTE model or the 3G one.

The LTE K7 has a 1.1 GHz quad-core CPU, while the 3G iteration sports a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor. The main camera is either 8 MP or 5 MP depending on market, RAM can be 1.5GB or 1GB, and the built-in storage is 8GB or 16GB. The LTE model will only be available in the “Titan” hue, while the 3G version will be offered in white, black, and gold.

Both K series devices have LG’s new “glossy pebble” design language, which employs a “curved, modern finish aimed at a younger audience”. They both have 2.5D curved glass on top of their displays, and they will both be showcased at CES this week. Pricing and availability details haven’t been announced…

OVEVO Fantasy Pro Z1: un pequeño pero potente altavoz Bluetooth que querrás en tus manos

Posted on by

OVEVO

Bien sabemos que en la actualidad los smartphones se han vuelto un añadido prácticamente indispensable en cualquier momento del día, sea en situaciones de puro ocio o en un ámbito más profesional como puede ser en nuestro trabajo. No son perfectos, ni mucho menos, ya que a menudo carecen de algunas funciones o incluso las añadidas no funcionan como deberían.

En este caso no nos referimos a las tan polémicas baterías, si no al altavoz integrado que disfrutamos tanto en juegos, música, vídeos o quizás simplemente dedicado a ciertos sonidos. Éste en muchos casos no cumple como debería, tanto por la calidad de sonido como por la potencia del mismo, y si esto es un problema este accesorio no te defraudará.

Con todo esto venimos a hablar del Fantasy Pro Z1 de OVEVO, un altavoz portátil de tamaño y peso reducido que podrás llevarte a cualquier parte y sin renunciar a una buena calidad de sonido. Éste se conecta mediante Bluetooth 4.0 de bajo consumo a un máximo de 10 metros de distancia, suficiente para el uso que está destinado.

Obviamente para funcionar requiere de energía y aquí entra en juego su batería de 750 mAh, que nos ofrece alrededor de 6 horas de funcionamiento contínuo, incluido el propio LED. Sí, su diseño en blanco se debe a que podemos alternar entre un buen abanico de colores realizando una pulsación en la parte superior del mismo y amenizará mucho la sala, además de dotar un aspecto mucho más atractivo.

Curiosamente también puede ser usado a modo de alarma o despertador, ya que con la propia luz LED y la configuración de cualquier aplicación podemos programar la activación de una emisora de radio, música o simplemente el propio sonido de notificación que deseemos.

Cabe decir que ofrece mucho, pero no por ello el precio se ve afectado, ya que apenas supera los 20 euros y una vez lo pones en funcionamiento, la calidad de los materiales y la propia del sonido no se queda atrás respecto a otros altavoces. Si lo deseas, puedes adquirir este altavoz portátil desde este enlace.

¿Y tú que piensas? Pásate por OVEVO Fantasy Pro Z1: un pequeño pero potente altavoz Bluetooth que querrás en tus manos para dejar tu huella.
