[Eyes-On] Tegra 4, Tegra 4i, And The Phoenix Reference Phone At MWC 2013 (With Benchmarks And Stats)

Posted by David Ruddock in News, NVIDIA

We had a chance this evening to take a closer look at NVIDIA's Tegra 4 and Tegra 4i chips, and with Tegra 4, a chance to run some benchmarks. We also took a quick look at NVIDIA's reference design phone for Tegra 4i, the Phoenix (though we were only allowed to look - not touch).

We'll start with the Phoenix reference phone, because there isn't much to say. The phone is in a very early state, and the non-working samples we were allowed to hold (the powered on device was eyes-only) felt like engineering samples...

Beacon Audio Phoenix Portable Bluetooth Speaker Review: It's Cubetastic

Posted by David Ruddock in Other Reviews, Reviews

The market for portable Bluetooth speakers is growing more competitive by the day, with various manufacturers spitting out the rectangular prisms in a wider variety of sizes and price points. But generally, this increasingly common accessory comes in one of three form-factor flavors.

First, you have the Jambox-sized devices. Definitely carry-aroundable, but not necessarily something you'd keep in your bag all the time. Then, you have the not-really-actually-portable, but "portable," Bluetooth speakers. Yes, it's wireless, and you could probably fit it in a suitcase, but it's not something you'd travel with, let alone carry around on a regular basis. Stuff like the Jambox Big or Supertooth Disco.

[Rumor] Possible Release Dates Leaked For T-Mobile Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note, And Huawei myTouch Phones

Posted by Jaroslav Stekl in Galaxy Note (GT-N7000), Galaxy S III, Huawei, News, Samsung, T-Mobile

After a relatively dreary news day, TmoNews breathed life into the Android world with an exciting leak many of us have been anticipating for quite some time: the release date of the T-Mobile Galaxy S III.

T-Mobile's editions of the device - which are among the few potential challengers to HTC's superb One X - will begin sale on (drum roll please) June 20th. There'll reportedly be two colors - metallic blue and ceramic white - as well as two storage capacities: 16GB and 32GB. However, if it's the ceramic white version you're after, you won't be able to grab it until July 11th; and even then, it appears it'll only be available in the 16GB capacity.

AT&T's Not So Dynamic Duo: The LG Thrive And Pheonix

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, LG, News

AT&T has kind of introduced two new LG Android powered smartphones into its lineup, set to appear on April 17th - the LG Thrive and LG Phoenix. I say "kind of" because, well, they're the same phone. The Thrive is a prepaid variant, while the Phoenix is a contract-only device.
