The Tab3 7 from Lenovo, which debuted at the MWC in February, is now available for purchase.

The Wi-Fi version of the tablet is now listed on Lenovo’s official website in Greece. It carries a tag of €79, which translates to around $90 at current exchange rates.

The Lenovo Tab3 7 is powered by a 1.0GHz quad-core processor, and sports a 7-inch (1024 x 600 pixel resolution) display, while RAM is set at 1GB.

An important note here is that the currently available version of the Tab3 7 is apparently not exactly same as the device announced by the company at MWC. As per the listing,…

Meizu has just announced the successor to its entry-level m2 smartphone. The new Meizu m3 carries a lot of the traits of the existing model, including the $92 base price, while offering a few minor upgrades.

One of those is the chipset, a Mediatek MT6750 with an octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU (4×1.5GHz, 4×1.0) replaces the MT6735 with a half the cores. There are two versions, the base one with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage, and a higher-specced one with 3GB/32GB. There’s a microSD slot for expansion either way.

The polycarbonate body still holds a 5-inch 720p display, but…

The Lenovo Vibe K5, which was unveiled alongside the Vibe K5 Plus back in February at this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC), is now available to pre-order in Europe. Specifically, pre-orders are currently live in Greece, with the device carrying a price tag of €199.

This comes over a month after the Chinese company launched the Plus variant of the smartphone in India. Given that the Vibe Plus carries a price tag of INR 8,499 ($126) in the Asian country, the €199 tag for the standard K5 seems a bit on the higher side.

Specs-wise, the Vibe K5 is powered by a Snapdragon 415 chipset,…

The Xiaomi Mi Max, which the company recently started teasing officially, is set to be unveiled on May 10, which is around a couple of weeks from now. This was revealed by the Chinese company in a post on Weibo.

There has been very little information available related to the device’s specs all this while, but that’s not the case anymore as the handset has now been spotted on bench-marking website GFXBench, revealing several of its key specs.

Although the listing confirms a whopping 6.4-inch display, other information like full HD display, and hexa-core 1.8Ghz CPU (Snapdragon…

Looks like the next-gen Xiaomi Mi Band could soon be launched as the Chinese company has started teasing the device. The image, which was shared by none other than CEO and co-founder Lei Jun, show a wearable device with a display.

There was, however, no information on the specifications of the device, the price tag it’ll carry, as well as its launch…

What’s the ideal size for a smartphone? It’s a question so uncertain that for the last couple of years all manufacturers have adopted a two-size strategy.

Samsung did it way back when with the Galaxy Note – a larger, updated Galaxy S. Apple sees things differently, it launches the iPhone and iPhone Plus simultaneously, so the Plus model isn’t an upgrade but instead an option.

Other manufacturers are doing it too, even if they name the phones different things instead of tacking on a Note, Plus, Pro, Max, Ultra, XL or to the name of the larger phone. Case in point, Huawei has the 5.5″…

The Samsung Galaxy J-series’ rule in our Top 10 trending chart continues for another week. For the third time in a row it’s the Galaxy J3 (2016) in the top spot and last year’s J7 joins it in second – a very close second, too.

But even if we are sort of used to this top duo, this week’s chart is memorable for Samsung’s affordable lineup for another reason. There’s a total of 4 J-series models on the trending list, two from last year, and two of the (2016) lineup.

It’s the Galaxy J5 that we find in 4th, where it seems to have settled after climbing one spot from the 5th it held two…

In last week’s poll we asked you if the HTC 10 is one hot piece of tech or a futile attempt by the company to warm the hearts of fans. Happily for the Taiwanese, 82% or 14,873 of you think the HTC 10 is pretty cool.

That’s probably the highest approval rating we’ve seen and it really bodes well for the future of the 10. However, if people buy it or not is what really matters for the company, which has been struggling to turn a profit for quite some time now.

Nevertheless, it’s not because of the lack of trying. The HTC 10 sports one of the best chipsets on the market as well as a…
