On May 15, Xiaomi officially released its 1499 RMB (240.50 USD) tablet.

As IT168 disassembled the MiPad yesterday, he found out that there was a big difference in craftsmanship between a tablet and smart phone.

s_bac7f18b228b4e09b9f53f67c0367fcb

 

The way the processor is designed in the MiPad is similar to that of a smart phone. The processor is small and cooling is difficult.

The interior of the MiPad uses the three-section designed and is covered with plastic for stability and cooling.

s_ccd76da856ff4415b7a8a211f50e28ef

 

The MiPad’s base follows a simple design since it does not support 3G/4G and has double speakers.

The MiPad runs on a 6520mAh LG battery.

It has a 8mP rear camera and 5mP front camera witth an F/2.0 aperture. The resolution is so-so. How’s the quality of the lens?

It supports TD-LTE/FDD-LTE/TD-SCDMA/WCDMA/GSM and current LTE Cat 4 standards. It can provide, at most, 50Mbps/150Mbps of internet speed, and supports CSFB and SG-LTE voice solutions. The chip was designed using 28nm craftsmanship and its size is about 9.4 x 9.4mm.

As the name implies, the G783 Q1 is an upgrade version of the G782 Q1. Both are practically the same. There is barely any difference between the both of them. For example, on the back of the G783 Q1 is a white panel that could be taken off. Furthermore, there is a phone receiver above the display screen for phone calls. The G781/782 does not have these. It’s also interesting to note that the user can insert a SIM card in the side of the G783 Q1. The slot is designed like a drawer. Not a lot of phones and tablets that can be used for phone calls have this.

The newest member to the Huawei family, the Honor 6 (code name: Mulan) is set to make its debut in Beijing on June 24. Meanwhile, photos of what is supposedly the Honor 6 have been leaked into the internet.

 

From the photos taken by @HW, the Honor 6 is long and uses the Emotion 2.3 operating system. Unfortunately, because of the thick protector case covering the phone, we cannot see how it looks like sideways, but we can see through the gaps that it’s a little whitish.

 

According to previous reports, the Honor 6 will be the first cell phone to use the octa-core Kirin 920 chipset with a main frequency of 1.3GHz. Furthermore, it will have a 5-inch 1080p touch screen, 3GB RAM, 16GB of memory space, and a 5mP/13mP dual-camera.

[MAE2014] A first hand look at the Meizu MX3 Ubuntu Edition: Unlimited potential for touchscreen experience

IMG_0836

 

 

Today, at the Mobile Asia Expo in Shanghai, I finally took a look at the Ubuntu edition of the MX3. It must have been the first time it was revealed to the public. As I tried it out, it left a very deep impression on me.

 

An Ubuntu employee told me that the Ubuntu’s biggest characteristic is that an App can immediately be installed in cell phones, tablets, and desktop computers as soon as its finished being developed. But what struck me the most was its touch screen.

 

 

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNzI0ODA2NDYw.html

 

Ubuntu takes full advantage of the touch screen. When you slide your finger left and right on the screen, you can scroll around the Apps bar for applications such as the camera, watch, contact list, etc. Just press the Home button to go back to the desktop.

 

IMG_0861 IMG_0844

 

At the top of the screen is the notification center which will slide down when you touch it. The great thing about Ubuntu’s notification center is that you can scroll down it for different kinds of choices. After touching the Notification logo, you can choose to open or close your WI-FI, GPS, and Blue-Ray connections.

IMG_0862

 

The bottom of the screen is used to scroll around the menu. For example, when you scroll up at the photos app, you can open a secondary menu where you can edit or delete pictures.

Ubuntu’s desktop is made up of the apps menu, videos, desktop button, music, and books.
