The example we're giving out is <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/BellCanada/">Bell Canada's</a> model, which mates the dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 and Android 4.0 with Bell-specific extras like Mobile TV.  Should you live in the land of the red and white, fire off an entry according to the rules and you might just get HTC's super-skinny smartphone for yourself.</p><p></p><ul> <li>  <strong>Leave a comment below.</strong><span><span> </span></span>Any comment will do.

Hot on the heels of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/31/windows-8-release-preview-detailed-impressions/">Windows 8 Release Preview</a>, it's claimed by the ever-present "people with knowledge of the matter" that Acer, ASUS and Toshiba will all be showing tablets with the new OS at the Taipei show. ASUS will reportedly get the star treatment at Microsoft's keynote and show off Transformer-style Windows 8 tablets that we suspect are hinted at in ASUS' <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/31/asus-computex-2012-teasers/">slightly cryptic trailers</a>. Processor loyalties could be split across the wider group, though: ASUS is said to be spreading the love by showing both an Intel-based tablet as well as one using NVIDIA's ARM-powered Tegra line, but Acer's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/02/acer-lenovo-windows-8-tablet-q3-2012-rumor/">previously rumored</a> tablet is poised to go the Intel-only route, and Toshiba's may exist solely in a TI OMAP-based ARM camp. It's not apparent if anyone else will join the Windows 8 tablet frenzy, although Qualcomm is expected to show yet another <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/qualcomm-shows-off-windows-8-running-on-an-lte-equipped-snapdrag/">Snapdragon-running test device</a>. We'll be on the ground at Computex next week, so you can be sure that we'll give you the full rundown on Windows 8's opening salvo.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/01/tips-have-acer-asus-and-toshiba-windows-8-tablets-at-computex/">Tips have Acer, ASUS and Toshiba showing Windows 8 tablets at Computex, color us unsurprised</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 01 Jun 2012 18:41:00 EST.

Of all places, it's HTC's home turf of Taiwan: although the One S is still branded as the same phone, the usual 28-nanometer, 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 we've come to love has been replaced with a high-frequency version of its ancestor. When grilled about the switch by <em>ePrice</em>, HTC insisted that the new version would "provide consumers [with] the same experience." We're not so sure after having seen lower Nenamark scores, but we suspect many owners will be too happy with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/08/htc-one-s-unibody-housing-micro-arc-oxidation-process-eyes-on/">micro arc oxidized body</a> and rapid-fire camera to notice. All the same, charging NT$17,900 ($600) for a less efficient take on the same formula makes us wonder if supply for the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/28+nanometer">28-nanometer</a> S4 didn't force a swap.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/01/htc-one-s-shows-in-taiwan-with-1-7ghz-snapdragon-s3/">HTC One S shows up in Taiwan with 1.7GHz Snapdragon S3, speed lovers wail</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 01 Jun 2012 06:04:00 EST.

Telus and Videotron have both confirmed the leaked <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/24/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-pops-up-in-best-buy-canada-with-june-20th-date/">June 20th release date</a>, and Telus has gone so far as to reinforce suspicions that LTE models will <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/15/mystery-samsung-phone-with-snapdragon-s4-pops-up-in-tests/">use the Snapdragon S4</a> instead of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/25/samsung-announces-1-4ghz-exynos-4-quad-as-basis-for-galaxy-s3/">Exynos 4 Quad</a> -- it expects the phone to use a "1.5GHz dual-core processor," which sure sounds like Qualcomm's latest to us. The same carrier has nailed down pricing at $160 on a three-year contract for a 16GB version and $210 for a 32GB model. Other carriers like Bell and Rogers are still a bit commitment-phobic, although that earlier Best Buy tip makes us think they'll fall into line before long.</p><p> <strong>Update:</strong> Samsung's own release has swung our way, and it's providing a slew of details that should closely relate to the US launch. As expected, that's a Snapdragon S4 inside, although we now know that the 2GB of RAM of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/16/ntt-docomos-galaxy-s-iii-to-ship-with-2gb-ram/">NTT DoCoMo version</a> will at least be making its way to Canada as well. The LTE version for Bell, Rogers, Telus and a handful of regional carriers is known as the <span>SGH-i747, while the fabled <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/18/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-for-t-mobile-hits-fcc/">SGH-T999</a> stops at 42Mbps HSPA+ and is the edition that Mobilicity, Wind and Videotron will get, since it supports 1,700MHz 3G. There's no mention of a 64GB Canadian Galaxy S III, so you'll still have to import if you frown heavily upon microSD cards.</span></p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/30/canadian-carriers-put-galaxy-s-iii-launch-on-june-20th/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Canadian carriers put Galaxy S III launch on June 20th, back dual-core 1.5GHz chip for LTE models (update: Snapdragon, 2GB RAM official)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/30/canadian-carriers-put-galaxy-s-iii-launch-on-june-20th/">Canadian carriers put Galaxy S III launch on June 20th, back dual-core 1.5GHz chip for LTE models (update: Snapdragon, 2GB RAM official)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 30 May 2012 14:29:00 EST.

We've already gotten our mitts all over the Eluga Power's 5-inch screen and 1.5Ghz dual-core S4 CPU <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/27/eluga-power-hands-on/">at MWC</a>, so this time we'll take a close look into the other two Ice Cream Sandwiched models. The P-06D Eluga V is a 4.6-inch variant (sliding between the Power and original <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/22/eluga-release-date-jp-eu/">P-04D Eluga</a>) while still packing a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU.

Nowhere is that more true than in a round of NenaMark2 testing uncovered this weekend: a previously unknown Samsung SCH-i535 for Verizon has tipped up sporting a 1.5GHz, dual-core <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/SnapdragonS4/">Snapdragon S4</a> instead of one of Samsung's own chips, like the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/25/samsung-announces-1-4ghz-exynos-4-quad-as-basis-for-galaxy-s3/">Exynos 4 Quad</a>. Given that the SCH-i515 is the model badge for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/16/verizon-galaxy-nexus-review/">Verizon's Galaxy Nexus</a>, it's not a great leap in logic to speculate that this is a custom version of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-preview-hands-on/">Galaxy S III</a>. It's entirely possible that something else might fit the bill, but knowing that Samsung has <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/11/t-mobile-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/">used Snapdragons itself</a> to include 4G before and that HTC just recently <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/01/htc-one-x-for-att-review/">switched up the One X</a> with an S4 to give it LTE on North American networks, we may be looking at the compromise Samsung needs to make to get its 4.8-inch gigantophone on Big Red.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/15/mystery-samsung-phone-with-snapdragon-s4-pops-up-in-tests/">Mystery Samsung phone with Snapdragon S4 pops up in benchmarks, may or may not be Verizon's Galaxy S III</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 15 May 2012 06:27:00 EST.

Something smells funny here so we pinged ASUS, and guess what? Those turned out to be just continuous talk time over 2G, so perhaps said video clip was pulled to be re-edited.</p><p> Conveniently, ASUS was also kind enough to share some <em>very</em> realistic battery life figures from the lab. With the corresponding screen set to 137 nits (about half the brightness), you get the following for phone mode, tablet mode and laptop mode, respectively: 2.6 hours, 10.7 hours and 17 hours of continuous WiFi browsing; and 2.1 hours, 8.9 hours and 14.1 hours of continuous 3G browsing. Just as <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/27/asus-padfone-formally-launched-4-3-inch-super-amoled-display-s/">promised</a> before, the PadFone Station (the tablet) and the PadFone Station Dock (the keyboard) do seem to pump up the battery by about five-fold and nine-fold max, respectively.</p><p> Now sure, these may make the 1,520mAh battery inside the phone look feeble and silly, but do bear in mind that these aren't the "up to" numbers. As always, stay tuned for our own tests whenever the PadFone finally lands on our doorstep.</p><p> <strong>Update: </strong>A new version of said walkthrough video is online, now with a clarification at the top left corner in the battery life segment. Check it out after the break.

The phone in question is the SHV-E170K, and will be coming to South Korea's KT network. The handset was announced with minimal details, other than having a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD (960&times;540) display, LTE, 5-megapixel rear camera and 1.3-megapixel shooter up front. However, with a little bit of internet cunning (i.e. some discovered benchmark tests) <em>SammyHub</em> has determined that we're dealing with a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 on top of Android 4 (TouchWiz'd by the looks of things). It should be out later this month, again, alas, potentially in its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/10/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-uk-pre-order/">sister's shadow</a>.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/11/samsung-launches-shv-e170k-in-korea/">Samsung's SHV-E170K has dual-core Snapdragon, LTE and an inferiority complex</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 11 May 2012 07:36:00 EST.

HTC says it feels your pain however, and thinks it's done quite a bit to lick the issue with its latest flagship phone, the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/htconex">HTC One X</a>. In reports consistent with our experience with the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/01/htc-one-x-for-att-review/">dual-core AT&amp;T iteration</a>, a blog post on the company's site notes several others that have tested it out and come away impressed with the battery life it shows. While our tests with the quad-core global version left something to be desired HTC says the One bests the old <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/htcsensation">Sensation</a> by as much as 147 percent when it comes to talk time, and 39 percent in video playback, while <i>Anandtech</i> had glowing recommendations for both versions. So, are you as impressed with HTC's engineering, or are you still pining for a larger <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/razrmaxx">RAZR Maxx</a>-style battery bump?</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/03/htc-one-x-battery-life/">HTC pats itself on the back for the One X's battery life, has plenty of help</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 03 May 2012 01:02:00 EST.

Hot on the heels of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/18/htc-one-s-t-mobile-review/">T-Mobile's One S</a> comes AT&amp;T's One X, which is <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/18/atandt-confirms-htc-one-x-to-land-may-6th/">launching May 6</a> for $199 on contract. The reworked device gains LTE and drops NVIDIA's quad-core Tegra 3 chip for a dual-core Snapdragon S4. So, does this brain transplant make it a better or worse proposition than the global One X?

Both run <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/htc-sense-4-0-review/">Sense 4</a> -- a thinner, lighter version of the company's polarizing UI -- and together with the entry-level <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/13/htc-one-v-review/">One V,</a> represent HTC's attempt to make a comeback after a lackluster year of me-too products. The first to make its way to the US is the One S which <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/26/t-mobile-gets-htc-one-s-first-in-the-us-coming-this-spring/">lands on T-Mobile</a> April 25 for $199 on contract (with a $50 rebate). We just spent a weekend with Magenta's new flagship handset. So how does it compare to the global One S?

And we're glad that you do decided to dabble, hypothetical engineer, because we can pore over those numbers  for a glimpse at what's coming next. According to benchmarks discovered by <em>Blog of Mobile</em>, Motorola might be looking to move on from the Texas Instrument chipsets it's used in the past. In the purported system details included with the benchmark results, the Ice Cream Sandwich-decked phone houses a 1.5GHz MSM8960 chip -- that's Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4. Could these be more details on a possible <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/16/motorola-engineer-leaks-droid-razr-hd/">RAZR HD</a> -- even an Atrix 3? Unfortunately, more concrete information remains scant. The repeated mention of Qinara, however, tallies with Motorola's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/06/chinese-motorola-xt928-gets-hands-on-less-razr-more-double-edg/">XT928</a>, China Telecom's version of the Motorola RAZR released last year, codenamed Dinara. (So, would that be Q for Qualcomm?) If, according to the leak, the device <em>does</em> use a 720p display alongside the aforementioned dual-core processor, it would find itself up against HTC's One X, which packs the same Snapdragon S4 hardware in its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/26/htc-one-x-exclusive-to-atandt/">AT&amp;T guise</a>. Hopefully, Motorola is making some similarly lofty efforts with its hardware design to ensure we've got <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/16/samsung-will-unveil-the-next-galaxy-phone-may-3rd-in-london/">yet another</a> phone to get excited about.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/17/leaked-benchmarks-suggest-motorola-is-working-on-a-snapdragon-s4/">Leaked benchmarks suggest Motorola is working on a Snapdragon S4 phone</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:03:00 EST.

The spec sheet makes it clear that this machine is a high-end affair, though it trades in the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/22/lg-optimus-4x-hd-unveiled-quad-core-tegra-3-ice-cream-sandwich/">4X HD's</a> quad-core Tegra 3 for a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 and an LTE radio. Otherwise it sounds quite a bit like that other LG flagship announced at MWC, including a 4.7-inch 720p display and Ice Cream Sandwich. Of course, there's no guarantee such a phone will ever see the light of day, none the less here in the US. Lets just hope if and when the D1L lands, it does so with fewer bugs than the much maligned <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/27/t-mobile-g2x-experiencing-reboot-issues-gingerbread-may-be-the/">G2X</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/09/rumored-lg-d1l-targets-high-end-with-dual-core-snapdragon-and-lt/">Rumored LG D1L targets high-end with dual-core Snapdragon and LTE</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 09 Apr 2012 15:36:00 EST.

Now, it's introducing its successor, which also claims a mobile first -- a ceramic body (and they don't just mean <a _mce_href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/04/ceramic-white-samsung-galaxy-note-careens-into-canadian-hearts-s/" href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/04/ceramic-white-samsung-galaxy-note-careens-into-canadian-hearts-s/">the color</a>). Apart from the fancy housing, there's a generous 4.8-inch, 720p LCD screen. It's Qualcomm in the engine room again, this time the MSM8960 S4 variant. This offers the same number of cores, but Krait is a much more tantalizing prospect over the aging S3. It also means you can expect LTE along with the usual suspects like WiFi, FM and GPS. If you can't hold out for that <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Galaxy+S+III/">other Korean handset</a>, you should be able to part with your Won later this month.</p><p></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/05/pantech-announces-vega-racer-2/">Pantech breaks the mold with ceramic Vega Racer 2</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 05 Apr 2012 14:28:00 EST.

In it, his character traveled to parallel universes and grew stronger as he killed alternate versions of himself. This continued on until there was only one other copy left, with the movie culminating in an epic battle between the two. We won't spoil the ending, but we were reminded of this movie when thinking about the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/htc-one-x-review/">One X</a> and the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/htc-one-s-review/">One S</a>: both are incredibly powerful phones that we'd be proud to use as our daily drivers, but the vast majority of us are only able to choose one One. (The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/26/htc-one-v-we-go-hands-on-video/">One V</a> is also a possible option but for the purposes of this feature we're laser-focused on HTC's two higher-end models.)<br /><br />How can we make a sound decision? The two phones are considered premium devices with top-notch components and relatively few flaws. The major difference, however, is going to be the price. Naturally, the cost will vary depending on where you live and which carrier you choose, but make no mistake: the S is going to be less expensive. Is it worth spending the extra money to go with the top-shelf model, or will the little guy be plenty? Now that the two devices are officially on sale in Europe, it's time to pick a side. We can't decide for you, but our goal is to present each phone's pros and cons, going round by round. Which one is right for you?

The PadFone and its corresponding tablet shell and keyboard dock, will be up for pre-order in Taiwan starting tomorrow, going on sale April 20th. On its own, the Snapdragon S4-powered 1.5GHz dual-core phone is priced at NT$17,990 (US$610), while the tablet set -- including that curious Bluetooth headset / stylus -- will set you back NT$24,980 (around US$850). If you're thinking keyboard add-ons are <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/01/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-review/">all the rage</a>, expect to pay around NT$28,901 (US$980). Need more of an excuse to step into pre-order territory? Well, ASUS is offering up an extra battery for those that do.

Just one year ago, it replaced the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/samsung-galaxy-s-review-shootout-captivate-for-atandt-and-vibrant/">Vibrant</a> -- the carrier's first Galaxy S handset -- and now the Galaxy S 4G has similarly felt the cold embrace of Father Time. Fear not, though, because it has a replacement, and it's really quite admirable. Folks, let us introduce you to the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/28/samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g-hands-on/">Galaxy S Blaze 4G</a>. If you're curious about the rationale behind the Blaze nomenclature, its meaning is actually two-fold: first, it's capable of accessing T-Mobile's speedy HSPA+ 42Mbps network, and second -- get this -- it packs the same dual-core processor as <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/11/t-mobile-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/">T-Mobile's Galaxy S II</a>.<br /><br /><div class="follow_this_in_post"> <img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/11/more_info_header_1.gif" /><br /> <div class="ftip_links">  <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/galaxy-s-blaze-4g-t-mobile/">T-Mobile announces the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, available 'later this year'</a></div> <div class="ftip_links">  <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/28/samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g-hands-on/">Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G hands-on</a></div> <div class="ftip_links">  <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/12/t-mobiles-galaxy-s-blaze-4g-lands-march-21st/">T-Mobile's Galaxy S Blaze 4G lands in select stores March 21st, everywhere else March 28th</a></div></div>Despite these two enhancements, the Galaxy S Blaze 4G stops short of encroaching on premium territory -- instead preferring to straddle the line between middle-of-the-road and high-end. Similarly, it retails for $200 on contract, before a $50 mail-in rebate. With such a lofty price, it'll undoubtedly instigate comparisons to the Galaxy S II and, soon enough, the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/28/t-mobile-htc-one-s-hands-on-at-mwc-2012/">HTC One S</a>. Most importantly, though, is the question of whether the Blaze 4G can stand on its own as a quality smartphone; we're fully aware that prices change, and a vexing purchase today could become a wise decision tomorrow. With this in mind, join us after the break as we explore the latest that Samsung has to offer for T-Mobile.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g-review-0/">Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G review</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g-review-0/#4930320"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/gallerydsc02366_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g-review-0/#4930323"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/gallerydsc02399_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g-review-0/#4930325"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/gallerydsc02404_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g-review-0/#4930328"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/gallerydsc02413_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g-review-0/#4930329"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/03/gallerydsc02415_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g-review/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G review</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g-review/">Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G review</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 02 Apr 2012 14:00:00 EST.

There are two stories here, and they're both quite compelling, frankly. On the one hand, you've got yet another high-end device, with a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD display, Snapdragon's new dual-core S4 chip, an Adreno 225 GPU, Ice Cream Sandwich and an 8-megapixel rear camera with an LED flash and f/2.2 autofocusing lens. (The front camera records at VGA resolution.) Other specs include 16 to 64GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD), Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI, GPS, A-GPS, a gyroscope, 1,520mAh battery and a compass. Connectivity options include WCDMA (900, 2100 MHz), EDGE / GPRS / GSM (850, 1800 and 1900 MHz) and HSPA+, with theoretical download speeds topping out at 42Mbps. <strike>Barring LTE</strike>, we wouldn't expect much less from a flagship launched at the world's premier wireless show.<br /> <br /> But those are just specs. If you focus solely on its chip and 9.2mm-thick frame you'd be missing its most distinguishing attribute: it's ability to parade around in tablet's clothing (albeit, with the help of some optional, still-unpriced accessories.) Taking a cue from Motorola's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Lapdock/">Lapdock</a>-friendly handsets, the PadFone can slide into an optional station that effectively allows you to use it as if it were a 10.1-inch tablet. Like the optional docks sold alongside ASUS' Transformer tablets, the station not only improves the ergonomics, but also extends the battery life -- in this case, by nine-fold. Speaking of keyboard docks, ASUS will be selling one for this product, too, so that you can tuck that 10-inch phone-tablet into something with a full physical keyboard. Finally, there's that guy you see up there, which looks like a stylus (and is!), but also doubles as a headset for receiving calls. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the future.<br /> <br /> And when can you make it yours? ASUS confirmed that the PadFone will ship in April. Unfortunately, the company stopped short of revealing any pricing, so you'll have to stay tuned for some country-specific details. For now, though, we're planning on getting hands-on with the device as soon as we can, giving you a much closer look than we were able to when we spied a prototype back at CES.<br /> <br /> <strong>Update: </strong>And our <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/27/asus-padfone-hands-on-video/">hands-on</a> is up now. Enjoy!</p><p> <strong>Update 2: </strong>ASUS just confirmed that the LTE flavor of the PadFone will be available in early Q3 -- see the slide after the break.<br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/asus-padfone-and-padfone-station/">ASUS Padfone and Padfone Station</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/asus-padfone-and-padfone-station/#4845188"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/padfonepadfone-stationpadfone-station-dock_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/asus-padfone-and-padfone-station/#4845189"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/asus-padfonepadfone-station-02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/asus-padfone-and-padfone-station/#4845190"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/asus-padfonepadfone-station-01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/asus-padfone-and-padfone-station/#4845192"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/asus-padfone_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/asus-padfone-and-padfone-station/#4846643"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/02/padfone-stylus-headsetpadfonepadfone-station_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div></p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/27/asus-padfone-formally-launched-4-3-inch-super-amoled-display-s/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>ASUS PadFone formally unveiled: 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display, Snapdragon S4 CPU, ICS, HSPA+, coming in April</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/27/asus-padfone-formally-launched-4-3-inch-super-amoled-display-s/">ASUS PadFone formally unveiled: 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display, Snapdragon S4 CPU, ICS, HSPA+, coming in April</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 27 Feb 2012 05:26:00 EST.

That's another way to describe the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/26/htc-unveils-one-s-arrives-with-dual-core-power-engineered-meta/">HTC One S</a>, the mid-range selection in the Taiwanese company's trio of new devices. Even though it should be considered middle of the road when being compared to a heavy hitter like the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/26/htc-one-x-hands-on-at-mwc-2012-video/">One X</a>, it's not hurting for features in the slightest. The S's claim to fame is its scratch-resistant and durable aluminum backing, and adds a highly respectable list of mouth-watering specs to go along with it. Let's have a look-see: 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED panel, 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 (MSM8260A) processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, the same 8MP rear camera found on the One X along with a VGA front-facing cam, a smallish 1,605mAh battery and 42Mbps HSPA+ radios (which will come in handy when it shows up on <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/26/t-mobile-gets-htc-one-s-first-in-the-us-coming-this-spring/">T-Mobile</a> this spring).<br /><br />While we've had the chance to drool all over its bigger brother, the One S still satisfies in nearly every way. The aluminum build was forged using a Micro Arc Oxidation process, and indeed affords us a feeling of security in case the skinny device were to slip through our hands. Given the firm grip we had on it, the chances of something like that happening would be rather slim anyway -- still, better safe than sorry. And the dual-core S4 chipset doesn't disappoint, either, and is going to be a slightly less expensive alternative for anyone who isn't a power user. Add in the same beautiful f/2.0 camera lens with all the Sense 4.0 trimmings, and this will likely stand well amongst its peers. As with the One X, we'd still prefer to see a physical camera button to take full advantage of the swift shutter speed and simultaneous video / still image capture.

The show has long been considered the proper venue for phone and tablet vendors to show off their latest and greatest innovations. Naturally, the internet is been set ablaze with plenty of rumors and even a few official product announcements from companies hoping to benefit from some solid pre-show buzz.<br /><br />In this guide we'll take you on a tour and walk through the hardware we already know will be shown off at MWC, as well as what we should likely expect to see and the things we'd really love to hear more about but probably won't.

A phone bearing the alluring name of "HTC VLE_U" just cropped up on NenaMark2 with a healthy 57.50 average frame rate. More interesting than the score, however, is the reference to a Qualcomm Adreno 225 GPU, which -- assuming this is legit -- strongly implies the presence of a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/21/qualcomm-krait-s4-soc-fully-benchmarked/">powerful</a> Snapdragon S4 sitting in the Ville's engine compartment. This tallies with <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/31/htc-ville-gets-hands-on-en-francais-is-presumably-practicing-it/">earlier hints</a> of the Ville carrying a 1.5GHz dual-core processor along with a (roughly) qHD display, and it also lines up with another MSM8960 benchmark from a reference handset <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/30/qualcomms-msm8960-snapdragon-s4-benchmarks-pop-up-online/">spotted</a> a few weeks ago. By extension, all the Tegra 3 smoke that's been <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/13/htc-endeavor-specs-revealed/">billowing</a> out of HTC recently must come from an entirely different fire -- namely the Endeavor or One X. Either way, it's certainly nice to see HTC hotting up.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/23/htc-ville-to-run-on-a-dual-core-snapdragon-s4/">HTC Ville to run on a dual-core Snapdragon S4?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 23 Feb 2012 09:14:00 EST.

Qualcomm Atheros wants its share of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/08/study-802-11ac-devices-to-hit-the-one-billion-mark-in-2015-get/">billion unit pie</a> and has just launched a series of products to flesh out its 802.11ac ecosystem. Top billing goes to the WCN3680 WiFi/BlueTooth/FM combo module, which plugs into the new Snapdragon S4 (<a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/krait">MSM8960</a>) and offers speeds of up to 433Mbps to complement that blistering <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/21/qualcomm-krait-s4-soc-fully-benchmarked/">CPU performance</a>. Since the S4 already includes built-in b/g/n WiFi (not to mention its 3G/4G/LTE baseband), manufacturers who choose to add the 802.11ac component will achieve full WiFi cross-compatibility and make many consumers happy in the process. Meanwhile, you'll also find similar multilingual abilities in QA's other 5G WiFi modules for PCs, laptops, routers and enterprise, which are all detailed in the PR after the break. Rest assured that we'll bring you more hands-on impressions of the latest Snapdragon just as soon as things kick off at <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/mwc2012">MWC</a> -- and hopefully in the form of a finished, market-ready tablet or handset.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/23/qualcomm-atheros-flaunts-802-11ac-wifi/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Qualcomm Atheros flaunts 802.11ac WiFi module for Snapdragon S4</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/23/qualcomm-atheros-flaunts-802-11ac-wifi/">Qualcomm Atheros flaunts 802.11ac WiFi module for Snapdragon S4</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 23 Feb 2012 04:14:00 EST.

Fortunately, <em>AnandTech</em> has to come to our rescue once again with a characteristically thorough analysis at the source link. Those blue and green charts can speak for themselves, but if you're in a rush then here's the rub of it: the Krait truly is a next-gen SoC, with the dual-core 1.5GHz MSM8960-powered reference handset delivering an "insane performance advantage" of between 20 percent and <em>240 percent</em> on CPU benchmarks. As we <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/30/qualcomms-msm8960-snapdragon-s4-benchmarks-pop-up-online/">glimpsed</a> recently, graphics performance is somewhat less ground-breaking but still very healthy, with the 28nm process allowing the Adreno 225 GPU to run at up to 400MHz, versus 266MHz on its Adreno 220 predecessor. Oh yes, this is going to be one mother of an MWC.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/21/qualcomm-krait-s4-soc-fully-benchmarked/">Qualcomm Krait S4 SoC fully benchmarked, diagnosed as 'insane'</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 21 Feb 2012 07:51:00 EST.

You're likely familiar with some of the imaging functionality available in Qualcomm's existing Snapdragon processors -- technology like <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Scalado/">Scalado</a>'s Rewind (pictured above) which <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/03/qualcomm-takes-sci-fi-one-step-closer-to-reality-at-computex-vi/">we've covered before</a>. The new SoC cranks things up a notch with support for up to three cameras (two in the back for 3D plus one front-facing), 20-megapixel sensors and 1080p HD video recording at 30fps. In addition to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/scalado-demonstrates-zero-lag-cellphone-camera/">zero shutter lag</a>, the Snapdragon S4 includes proprietary 3A processing (autofocus, auto exposure and auto white balance) along with improved blink / smile detection, gaze estimation, range finding and image stabilization. Rounding things off are gesture detection / control, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/augmentedreality/">augmented reality</a> and computer vision (via Quacomm's FastCV). Want to know more?

A kindly mole has offered some better focused (but unfortunately watermarked to <em>heck</em>) shots of LG's first Mango-laced Windows Phone. Skinnier that we expected, we can now make out a front-facing camera, paired up with a rear-facing five-megapixel primary shooter on the back. It's still a prototype, judging by that not-so-subtle "not for sale" etching on the back, but expect the Miracle -- when it <em>does</em> go official -- to match those middleweight credentials <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/08/lg-miracle-windows-phone-leak/">leaked</a> so far.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/12/lg-miracle-appears-in-real-life-we-start-to-believe/">LG Miracle appears in real life, we start to believe</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:28:00 EST.

Well, clearly it's an HTC phone, but it looks different to what we've seen before. If the pictures are to be believed, we're looking at an Android 4.0 device with HTC's Sense 4.0 on top. There's LTE on board, and what looks like Verizon's splash-screen, meaning there's every reason to believe this is destined for the US. The rest of the specs suggest it's packing a dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon processor, backed up by 1GB of RAM, Beats Audio and an 8-megapixel shooter. Given that the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/15/htc-rezound-review/">Rezound</a> already purrs along on a 1.5GHz chip and that embossed backing looks oh-so familiar, it doesn't seem out of line to wager this is the next-gen <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/19/droid-incredible-review/">Incredible</a> with a bump in clock speed. What also catches our eye is the inclusion of hardware buttons, leaving open the possibility that this might just be a prototype after all. We're too not hopeful we'll learn much more before MWC, but we'll keep our eyes on the trail all the same.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/10/unknown-htc-phone-running-ics-pops-up-looks-incredible/">Unknown HTC phone running ICS pops up, looks Incredible</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:17:00 EST.

The crew at <em>Pocketnow</em> claim that's exactly what LG's done with its latest <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/windowsphone">Windows Phone</a>, however, which was previously known as the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/24/lg-fantasy-windows-phone-meets-mr-blurrycam-for-the-first-time/">Fantasy</a>. That's right, folks, you're looking at a purported Miracle -- weren't you expecting more? The phone is said to contain a 1GHz (naturally single-core) Snapdragon SoC, a 4-inch NOVA display (that we can safely assume to be WVGA), 8GB of storage and a five megapixel primary cam that shoots video at 720p, along with a run-of-the-mill VGA front-facer. As connectivity goes, we're told to expect a 14.4Mbps HSPA radio and 2.4GHz / 5GHz WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and -- get this -- <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/windowsphone,nfc">NFC</a>. Whether this Miracle comes to fruition is anybody's guess; perhaps it was just a Fantasy all along.<br /><br />[Thanks, Mark]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/08/lg-miracle-windows-phone-leak/">Could LG's Fantasy be an outright Miracle?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:09:00 EST.

Qualcomm has edged us one step closer to a completely 4G future, though, with the first successful test of a mid-call LTE to WCDMA transfer. Using one of its own chipsets, specifically an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/13/qualcomm-snapdragon-s4-msm8960-development-tablet-hands-on-vide/">MSM8960</a> Snapdragon S4, the company successfully utilized Single Radio Voice Call Continuity to switch from a VoIP-over-LTE connection to a traditional voice channel over WCDMA. It might seem like a small victory, but it's one that's an essential step towards and entirely LTE-dependent network.

The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/snapdragon">Snapdragon</a> creator pulled in $4.68 billion in revenue during Q1, a 40 percent increase over the same time last year and 14 percent higher than last quarter. Profits were also way up, hitting $1.4 billion, a 20 percent increase over last year and a whopping 33 percent higher sequentially. The company appears to have roundly beat analyst expectations, earning 97 cents per share. It's also worth noting that this doesn't include any boost from the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/22/fcc-approves-atandts-1-9b-purchase-of-qualcomms-700mhz-spectrum/">spectrum deal with AT&amp;T</a>.

The MSM8960 is a developer tablet: which means it'll never retail and it's packing some serious kit including a dual-core 1.5GHz CPU, 13-megapixel cameras on both side and Qualcomm's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/15/qualcomm-gobs-off-about-gobi-4000-the-buy-once-use-anywhere-mo/">beefy LTE gear</a> inside. We got a few minutes to play Fight Game Heroes: a tech demo game where your character fights a musclebound company executive in a steelworks. The action was fluid and rapid, particle effects like smoke and sparks were well rendered -- we think the chip's obviously got gaming gravitas considering the early nature of the software. It's harder to see if this is more noticeably powerful than <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/fujisu-arrows-tegra-3-prototype-eyes-on/">Tegra 3</a>, but on current evidence we think nVidia's a step ahead. Just as we left, 15 Nokia executives swarmed the booth, but would it be too much to hope that the company's thinking about building a Tablet? Well, yes, obviously. But it doesn't stop us dreaming, okay?

AT&amp;T was getting all <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/06/att-microsoft-windows-8-tablet-lte/">hot and heavy</a> over LTE-equipped Windows 8 tablets at its developers summit and an afternoon session about a Qualcomm powered model had certainly piqued our interest. What wasn't clear was whether such a piece of hardware actually existed, but we're happy to report it does. Dr. Paul Jacobs pulled out a Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 slate during his keynote running Microsoft's next-gen tile-based OS and the requisite 4G connection -- on AT&amp;T's network, of course.<br />
<br />
Jacobs treated attendees to a very brief demo of the tab, showcasing the browser, UI and Windows 8 apps. He went on to note that the in development slates run on ARM processors and won't need fans to cool down. Aside from that, not much else was revealed, so feel free to check out the official presser after the break.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/qualcomm-shows-off-windows-8-running-on-an-lte-equipped-snapdrag/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Qualcomm shows off Windows 8 running on an LTE-equipped Snapdragon</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/10/qualcomm-shows-off-windows-8-running-on-an-lte-equipped-snapdrag/">Qualcomm shows off Windows 8 running on an LTE-equipped Snapdragon</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 10 Jan 2012 12:30:00 EST.

The <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/pantech-element-gets-official-atandt-nod-arrives-later-this-month/">Pantech Element</a> has been hanging around the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/08/pantech-element-att-tablet-specifications-leak-confirmed/">rumor mill</a> for quite some time, so it wasn't much of a surprise when we saw it show up at the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/live-att-dev-summit-keynote/">AT&amp;T Developer Summit keynote</a> earlier today. All of the specs were right on with what we'd heard before: 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon CPU, 8-inch TFT XGA display, 5MP rear camera / 2MP front-facing, 6,400 mAh battery for over 12 hours of high-use battery life and of course, waterproof with IP57 certification. We got a little clarification on what Pantech means by this, and it turns out that the tablet can be submerged in up to one foot of water for thirty minutes without batting an eye.<br />
<br />
Playing around with the tablet, we were surprised by its light weight and classy look. It was incredibly glossy, however, which was painfully obvious by the number of times we felt compelled to wipe smudges off the front and back. The ports of entry were all covered appropriately by secured plastic flaps, but it's necessary in order to keep water or other liquid from getting inside. The tablet runs on Android 3.2, and in our limited time with the device felt smooth and without lag. Overall, it felt as though the tablet certainly fit the price range, which isn't something we were able to say about the $600 (on contract) HTC Jetstream. The Element will be available starting January 22nd for $300 with a two-year commitment, though AT&amp;T is running a limited promotion in which you can get both the Element and the Pantech Burst together for $250. Take a look below to check out some up close and personal images and a snazzy video.<br />

Other features include a 1,280 x 800 LED-backlit IPS display, 3G with call support, 1GB LPDDR2 RAM, SSD of up to 64GB, HDMI Micro connection and front (1.3MP) and rear (5MP with autofocus) cameras. As for battery life, the tablet alone can keep cranking for up to 9 hours, and sliding it into the keyboard dock gets you an additional 9 hours plus two USB 2.0 ports, a multitouch trackpad and an SDHC card reader. No word on availability or pricing yet, so we'll keep poking Lenovo until we hear something.<br /><br /><strong>Update:</strong> We now have hands-on photos and video -- the latter after the break, as usual. Something interesting we spotted was the grid-like LeLauncher, which consists of square-shaped widgets that expand to bigger widgets or launch the relevant apps. Lenovo's folks also mentioned that compared to the ASUS Transformer series, the S2's "clam dock" slot hinge is designed in such a way that makes it easier to snap the tablet onto it, and we agree with them.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovo-ideatab-s2-10/">Lenovo IdeaTab S2 10"</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovo-ideatab-s2-10/#4720792"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/ideatablet-s2110a01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovo-ideatab-s2-10/#4720791"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/ideatab-s2-10-g-2012-01-06_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovo-ideatab-s2-10/#4720790"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/ideatab-s2-10-g-2012-01-061_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovo-ideatab-s2-10/#4720789"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/ideatab-s2-10-g-2011-12-12_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovo-ideatab-s2-10-hands-on/">Lenovo IdeaTab S2 10" hands-on</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovo-ideatab-s2-10-hands-on/#4724196"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/ideatab-s2-2012-01-090_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovo-ideatab-s2-10-hands-on/#4724198"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/ideatab-s2-2012-01-091_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovo-ideatab-s2-10-hands-on/#4724201"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/ideatab-s2-2012-01-092_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovo-ideatab-s2-10-hands-on/#4724202"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/ideatab-s2-2012-01-093_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovo-ideatab-s2-10-hands-on/#4724203"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/ideatab-s2-2012-01-094_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/08/lenovos-ideatab-s2-10-joins-the-tablet-transformation-gang-pa/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Lenovo's IdeaTab S2 10-inch does tablet transformation, packs a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon (update: hands-on)</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/08/lenovos-ideatab-s2-10-joins-the-tablet-transformation-gang-pa/">Lenovo's IdeaTab S2 10-inch does tablet transformation, packs a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon (update: hands-on)</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 08 Jan 2012 21:08:00 EST.

Dubbed the K91, we're looking at a 55-inch IPS 3D HDTV running Android Ice Cream Sandwich (a first for smart TVs, yet not quite a <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Google+TV">Google TV</a>), and inside it sits a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/APQ8060">APQ8060</a>. Dig a little deeper and you'll also find 1GB of RAM, 8GB storage, SD card expansion, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, 10M/100M Ethernet, HDMI and USB 2.0 connectivity (which is much needed for an external hard drive to store video content). As you can see in the pictures, the K91 will come with some Lenovo cloud services, including an app store (but the TV will have over 100 apps preloaded, anyway) and video-on-demand, along with voice control and facial recognition (mainly for child lock, we presume) using its five-megapixel webcam. As always, we'll get back to you as soon as we get information on dates and prices.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovos-k91-is-a-55-inch-smart-3dtv-packing-ice-cream-sandwich-1-5ghz-dual-core-chip/">Lenovo's K91 is a 55-inch smart 3DTV packing Ice Cream Sandwich, 1.5GHz dual-core chip</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovos-k91-is-a-55-inch-smart-3dtv-packing-ice-cream-sandwich-1-5ghz-dual-core-chip/#4720835"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/letv-gal-2012-01-069_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovos-k91-is-a-55-inch-smart-3dtv-packing-ice-cream-sandwich-1-5ghz-dual-core-chip/#4720826"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/letv-gal-2012-01-060_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovos-k91-is-a-55-inch-smart-3dtv-packing-ice-cream-sandwich-1-5ghz-dual-core-chip/#4720839"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/letv-gal-2012-01-06_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovos-k91-is-a-55-inch-smart-3dtv-packing-ice-cream-sandwich-1-5ghz-dual-core-chip/#4720827"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/letv-gal-2012-01-061_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovos-k91-is-a-55-inch-smart-3dtv-packing-ice-cream-sandwich-1-5ghz-dual-core-chip/#4720828"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/01/letv-gal-2012-01-062_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/08/lenovo-ideatv-letv-k91-android-ice-cream-sandwich/">Lenovo's 55-inch IdeaTV K91 is the world's first Android Ice Cream Sandwich TV</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:00:00 EST.

	Didn't think Qualcomm was going to just sit around and let NVIDIA have all the fun, did you? The latter company's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/01/nvidia-tegra-zone-officially-launched-takes-android-to-its/">launch of TegraZone</a> -- an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/TegraZone/">app portal</a> designed to show off mobile games that work best when using the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Tegra2/">Tegra 2</a> dual-core SoC -- appears to have inspired the competition, as Qualcomm announced the debut of its dedicated Snapdragon GameCommand app today. The idea is pretty much the same: the app, accessible on phones and tablets, will essentially be a marketplace that offers <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/qualcomm+snapdragon/">Snapdragon</a>-optimized games (such as Qualcomm's GamePack selection) as well as some exclusive content. The app will make its official entrance on the Android Market on January 10th, but will only be available in North America until "a later date." Texas Instruments, you're up next. Head to the press release for more details.</div><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/05/qualcomms-snapdragon-gamecommand-app-ready-to-take-on-tegrazone/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Qualcomm's Snapdragon GameCommand app ready to take on TegraZone</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/05/qualcomms-snapdragon-gamecommand-app-ready-to-take-on-tegrazone/">Qualcomm's Snapdragon GameCommand app ready to take on TegraZone</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 05 Jan 2012 07:30:00 EST.

If one of your e-reader's components is great but the rest of the device is lacking, where does that leave you? The first review of the Kyobo eReader has arrived and while its Qualcomm-provided <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/22/kyobo-qualcomm-make-mirasol-color-displays-a-reality-with-the/">Mirasol screen</a> is lauded, that's about it for the good news. Despite the snazzy 5.7-inch touchscreen combined with 1Ghz SnapDragon CPU, WiFi and Android 2.3.5, the package falls apart due to its inability to load apps, subpar battery life and long load times. The reading app crashed frequently during testing, the device was unable to load DRM-protected ebooks even after authorizing with Adobe DE, the reader displays EPUB formats incorrectly, PDF view controls proved poor and YouTube video playback proved slow and stilted. Still, the page turn speed proved slightly faster than that of the Kindle Touch, so why harp on the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/29/n-control-dismisses-marketing-consultant-discounts-ps3-avenger/">negatives</a>?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/03/kyobo-ereader-receives-initial-review-comes-up-short-despite-mi/">Kyobo eReader receives initial review, comes up short despite Mirasol display</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 03 Jan 2012 04:22:00 EST.

The ASUS news, it just keeps on flowin'. Shortly after getting a sneak peek at the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/02/asus-eee-pc-flare-leaked-ahead-of-ces-amd-and-intel-models-prom/">Eee PC Flare</a>, in flies yet another leaked image of yet another leaked ASUS product. This go 'round, we're looking at what's purportedly the 7-inch Eee Memo Pad, a handy little fellow that we've actually heard about <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/04/asus-eee-pad-memo-tablet-takes-a-pen-out-of-the-couriers-book/">before</a>. We're told that it'll ship with a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, 16GB to 64GB of internal storage space, built-in 3G, WiFi and a 1,280 x 800 screen resolution, and it's apt to be revisited at CES 2012 before launching as an Asia-only product later in the year. It's hard to say what edition of Android will pop up when this is formally unveiled next week at CES, but we're guessing that it'll stick its tongue out at the long-awaited <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Padfone/">Padfone</a> as it's introduced, regardless.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/02/7-inch-asus-eee-memo-pad-gets-leaked-1-2ghz-dual-core-snapdrago/">7-inch ASUS Eee Memo Pad gets leaked, 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon inside</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Mon, 02 Jan 2012 11:11:00 EST.

<a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Qualcomm">Qualcomm's</a> souped-up Snapdragon S4 <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/16/qualcomm-announces-snapdragon-s4-liquid-mobile-development-platf/">Liquid mobile development platform</a> (MDP) tablet just got a major Android boost, in the form of a 4.0.1 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade. The maxed-out MDP tablet, which boasts such specs as an on-die LTE modem, dual 1080p cameras and more sensors than you can shake an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/17/engadgets-holiday-gift-guide-2011-fun-stuff/">accelerometer-powered wand</a> at, is now running Google's latest mobile OS. During an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/18/the-engadget-show-027-nokias-stephen-elop-qualcomm-nasa-an/">Engadget Show visit</a> last month, Qualcomm reps told us that the device will support Android 4.0, but we weren't expecting a port quite so soon, considering Liquid won't ship until next spring. The company says it's working "rigorously" to get ICS optimized not only for the S4, but for <a href="http://www.engadget.com/updates/which-devices-will-get-ice-cream-sandwich/">other Snapdragon processors</a> as well.
