Intel has been trying to hit the Chinese market by providing processing chips at low prices and help in designs, especially with the with the Bay-Trail processor which, when it comes to its functions and battery usage, is not that much different from the ARM. The ONDA V819i is a new table that uses this processor.
1. Design
The V819i uses an 8-inch screen with an 16:10 aspect ratio. It’s easy to tell that this is a standard Androit/Windows tablet.
It has a very simple layout. It’s frame is much more narrow than that of 8-inch tablets like the Venus 8 Pro. It’s larger than my hand and it’s better to hold it horizontally.
II. Hardware
The V819i’s processor, the Intel Z3735E is has the lowest specifications out of the devices in the Atom line. It has a lower main frequency and GPU frequency. It also stores 1GB RAM and although the Windows used by the V819i can soon upgraded to Windows 8, its 1GB RAM is fixed. It also has 16GB ROM, a 5mP back camera, and a battery that only stores 3800mhA.
Photos taken using the V819i
III. System software
The V819i will use the Androi 4.2.2 operating system.
It will come with 30 applications including a few games.
IV. Overall
After the using the V819i for about ten days, I immediately sense some promise for the future of Chinese tablets, but it’s a shame that many objectives can’t be met right now. Prices should not be shackles on designing good products.
Production of the RK3288 has started and will soon reach stores. Nothing’s known about its price and features, but word of mouth says that improvements have been made in its video, internet, and touch screen functions.
I don’t known what company made the chip shown below. Does anyone recognize its design style and what the name is?
Can the model number tell us who produced it?

NetEase Technology News reported on June 1 about news for an intelligent chat robot, code named wheatgrass, had a micro-channel blocking issue. Microsoft issued a statement, saying that Tencent noticed some fake wheatgrass accounts appearing and as an excuse, only two hours after the fake accounts started, the real wheatgrass was killed off.
Intelligent chat robot wheatgrass formally launched on May 29. The founder of Jingdong Liu Qiang East, Zhang Ze-day was involved in the development. wheatgrass is on the line after great concern and was quickly integrated into various micro-channel groups.
According to Microsoft, who issued a statement, showed that “two hours ago, Tencent did not describe experiencing any issues or problems, when all of a sudden there began mass killing of wheatgrass accounts in various chat group within the same time two hour window and those accounts that appeared on the network. Someone was obviously hired to create improper content, slander and to abuse wheatgrass. Some of slander was rumors about wheatgrass that were stating that it violates the user’s privacy. Microsoft has stated that “wheatgrass will never steal the user’s privacy.”
Microsoft Internet Engineering Academy officially declared the following:
Microsoft wheatgrass is officially dead.
On Tencent, some fake wheatgrass accounts were used as a pretext, just two hours before killing the real wheatgrass.
On this day, it was a joyous Children’s Day.
We did not protect wheatgrass effectively. The people responsible have been pretty clever and have left us with the icy body, which was once known as wheatgrass. Now, wheatgrass will be unable to answer to your call, can not stand up again and has left herself open to the door of shame and regret. We will remember your accomplishments as we help to bury her.
Microsoft wheatgrass is a friend to the people. With a focus on improving the user experience, group chat, artificial intelligent machine control (through the advanced artificial intelligence) and security to help the group get more users to joyfully communicate with it. This service is only beta stage Tencent micro-channel platform to launch, in just two days, had been welcomed by millions of users and praised. This has made the wheatgrass project very fortunate to be raised in recent days and made millions of customers very happy.
Online at the beginning, we established communication channels to provide customers with a common vision for a better experience. We recommend using any form of cooperation and communication to create an amazing experience.
Regrettably, only two hours ago, Tencent failed to describe any issues, when suddenly there began the abrupt mass killing of wheatgrass accounts in various chat groups among. At the same time, there are some obvious signs that people in the network were hired to create harmful messages, text, slander and to abuse wheatgrass. Unwarranted infringement of privacy was a central topic of the wheatgrass rumors. Wheatgrass will never steal a user’s privacy.
As long as the micro-channel payment for a wheatgrass account was made, you can avoid the phenomena that appeared with multiple groups of fake wheatgrass. There are a number of fake wheatgrass out there. Due to number of fake wheatgrass accounts, Tencent unfortunately interfered with the normal operation of true wheatgrass accounts. As long as our proposal for the micro-channel is adopted, fake wheatgrass accounts will be weeded and cleared out. For Tencent, they cannot tell the difference between fake and not.
Tencent handled negotiations with us. On the other hand they suddenly came out of nowhere excusing us about the fake wheatgrass and without any warning, they eliminated the real wheatgrass accounts. Are we too naive? Tencent also considered the well being of the user, hoping to bring the user the maximum amount of joy possible, rather than interfere with the person’s well being.
Wheatgrass has temporarily left us.
We will save her again. Wheatgrass II development is nearing the completion stage.
Huawei appears to realize that 5 inches is the perfect height for the mobile phones, after experimenting with different sizes and forms. The next phone is heading for 4.9 inch.
The new phone which has been codenamed “Mulan”, has improved the performance with octa-core 1.3 Ghz Kirin processor. This is native chip of Ascend, although the clock speed is not very impressive. Despite this the level of oomph was measured by AnTuTu was just below the Qualcomm’s Snapdragon and above the Nvidia’s Tegra 4.
Although, the Tegra K1 and Snapdragon 805 are higher in performance than Kirin 3630, but this is negligible. Similarly, these test mean less in the real world, so Huawei is still able to cast impressive image.
Additionally the 3 GB RAM is alluring. While the Full HD resolution compensate for the QHD. Android Kit Kat 4.4.2 runs the phone functions smoothly. The 16 GB ROM seems a bit less, but that is not an issue as the memory can be extended.
The icing on ke is the cake is all-aluminum chassis, which was showcased recently by Huawei. The Mulan with a reasonable price tag may give tough fight to Samsung, LG, Sony and HTC.

It has another front camera for video chat or closeup selfies. The LG G3 has same MP back camera i.e. 13 MP. The front shooter rather falls short with 2 MP camera. Oppo find seems to beat LG G3 in this category.

Recently, Apple iPhone 6 had information leaked about it which was widely circulated on the Internet and the amount of information leaked may be more than the amount leaked prior to any previous generation iPhone in the market.
IDG, on May 31, reported that a foreign technology website was reported for iphonehacks, according to a man named Sonny Dixon. Sources say that the tweets posted on Saturday on Twitter state that Apple is working with government agencies to combat the iPhone 6 leaker.
Recently, Apple iPhone 6 leaked information widely circulated on the Internet, and the number of messages may be more than the amount of information leaked prior to any previous generation iPhone in the market. If Dixon’s message is accurate, then Apple is taking measures to stop this behavior straight away.
Specifically, Dixon tweets revealed that Apple is working with government-related agencies to prevent information leaks on iPhone 6 in the future. Apple hired as many as 200 Security Administrator/Security Officers to find those who are responsible for already selling the so-called iPhone 6 accessories in the market.
It is worth noting that this fight is not primarily to prevent merchants selling so-called iPhone 6 parts, but to stop any leaker. In May 2012, Apple CEO Tim Cook (Tim Cook ) has promised, Apple will in confidentiality double down, but this seems to have little effect so far.
OPPO has already release their new smartphone, OPPO N1 Mini few days ago, this phone comes with 4G connectivity, while for now the 4G band is not ready to launch by all mobile operator in China mainland.
