| HTC M8 leaks in 12 minute hands-on video Posted: 02 Mar 2014 07:11 PM PST
While many of you are being distracted by tonight’s Oscars, some online drama of the mobile variety has been unfolding tonight. The HTC M8 was leaked in a lengthy, 12-minute hands-on video. The leaker, who actually recorded the video back on the 18th of February, seems to have found the cohones to upload the video tonight, but after some strong words with HTC’s Online Communications Manager, quickly removed the video from his YouTube account. Before it was removed (and later re-uploaded), the IMEI and dates were extracted from the video, leaving us to wonder about the fate of the individual (and/or his parents) who we’re sure signed some sort of NDA while the phone is still awaiting to become official. If you’re curious to take a quick tour of the upcoming HTC M8 as well as Sense 6 with Android 4.4 KitKat, video can be found below. Don’t imagine it’ll be very long before this is taken down, so get it while its hot. Thanks, Tito! |
| Ellen live tweeting Oscar’s with Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Posted: 02 Mar 2014 06:00 PM PST Right now most of America is watching The Oscar’s, AKA the 86th Academy Awards, hosted this year by Ellen Degeneres. She took a moment to acknowledge she would be live tweeting while hosting and she wasn’t kidding, uploading her selfie almost instantly using nothing other than the fabled Samsung Galaxy Note 3:
It was a clear product placement sponsorship with Samsung bringing us into the commercial break with Samsung Galaxy commercial featuring the Galaxy S4, Galaxy Gear, and Tab/Note Pro among other devices.
Now until further notice… Oscar’s discussion below! |
| Hands-on: Huawei MediaPad X1 [VIDEO] Posted: 02 Mar 2014 03:30 PM PST
If you were not convinced by the MediaPad M1, you might want to check out the Huawei MediaPad X1. This is the manufacturer’s new higher-end tablet. It is still not a beast, but we were actually quite impressed by it when we checked it out at Mobile World Congress! Huawei MediaPad X1 specs
The tablet is pretty well-built, made mostly of aluminum. It feels much more solid than any other Huawei device I have ever felt. It also performs better than the MediaPad M1 for some reason, even though it seems to have the same processor.     What’s interesting is that this is not just a tablet. It actually doubles as a smartphone… one big smartphone! This is why it’s the first device to be compatible with the Huawei TalkBand B1. The fitness watch doubles as a bluetooth headset, allowing users to leave the tablet in the pocket or bag. No need to put that big tablet up to your face! Check out our hands on video and let us know what you think of this tablet! I actually kinda like it! |

MWC was full of unique smartphones and tablets, but the Huawei MediaPad M1 looked very familiar to us. This tablet impressed us, and we are not sure if it’s for good reasons. It looks just like a bigger HTC One! This makes it a good-looking tablet from the get-go, but the specs and quality still don’t match HTC’s. After all, this does happen to be a mid range tablet that will come with a good price. Huawei MediaPad M1 specs
The device does feel good. The back seems like aluminum and there are no loose or jiggly parts. The device is not too fast, though. Animations and performance were a bit sluggish. The screen does look good in terms of colors and brightness, but the 1280×800 resolution makes things a bit fuzzy.     Huawei MediaPad M1 price and availabilityGiven its specs and performance, you probably know the Huawei MediaPad M1 will not be an expensive tablet. It is set to be released at 299 Euros when it’s released before the Spring. That’s not expensive at all, but there happen to be great options for tablets at that price range. The Nexus 7 is the obvious example of a tablet that would cost less and give you more bang for your buck. Those who like the look of it might enjoy it, though. |
