BT-Linker T005 Review

This is like a RipOFF from a ripoff. Meet the big not so different brother of the BTLinker T003, the versatile BT-linker T005.

It kind of versatile for me. But I just wonder if the T003 can be wear the same way? Can anybody sponsor me one of these. I’m getting really curious now. Seriously, it got the style just lack of build quality. A few more modification and R&D this product could be a Big hit.

The build quality of the BTLinker T005 is the same with the T003 but the pricing is abit higher at about $50 depend on the website i think. it should not be more than this.

Surprisingly the T005 is a bit thicker from his predessor. 0.1 inches thicker and 0.1 inches less in diameter from the T003 but with the same width.

thickness= 0.3 inch, Diameter = 1.1 inch and Width = 0.5 inch.

Well it manage to maintain the same weight with the T003 that is 22grams.

It main attraction is the versatility it offers. You can pull the watch/device from its rubber band and place it anywhere as a different accessory.

While no additional function is offer. It has the same features as the T003.

Here I just paste the features it offers;

Detect and display the indoor temperature as well as ambient temperature outdoors.

* Call / SMS Reminder.

Caller number / message reminder through the vibration of the motor or display.

* Position Location

Conveniently locate the final position of goods or the departure address of loved ones.

* Anti-lost Function

Two way anti-lost system that confirms the relative distance between the cellphone and the device, if the separation distance exceeds the safe distance, the alarm system will

activate.

* Various Wearing Position to Choice

Different accessories included for various wearing choice, such as on

wrist, shoes, shirt or bra, etc.

other than that its still doesn't mentioned anything about durability, lifespan, battery life and application supports.

You can go here if you haven’t read the T003 review yet.

So its up to you. I’ll be watching this stuff pretty closely and I’ll also will post the SKU number if u wish to buy this for me or just for your self. Well its cheap enough to get the attention it needed.

BT-Linker T003 SmartBand Review

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 18 Nov 2014 04:17:00 +0000

BTLinker T003 Review SmartBand?

Friends of mine email me this product yesterday. Its kinda like a smartband (Well, it has all the function a smartband should have) so that’s make it a smartband right?? just that it doesn't talk like Sony SmartBand Talk.

The BTLinker is almost the same as other fitness companions out there that offer the ability to track heartbeat, calories burned and track your position.

Currently there are only 2 version of it, the BTLinker T003 & BTLinker T005. I think you can guess why it’s called a BTLinker. For what I understand (predicted) that the device connect to your mobile by Bluetooth and not wifi or NFC. So if you have purchase this product and know how its actually operate and sync with your mobile, PLEASE INFORM ME. I really appreciate it.

I know, why talk about it if you’re not sure. Well I find it as a very attractive device. especially the pricing. Its crazy cheap.

The BT-Linker T003 is priced at around $30 while the BT-Linker T005 is a bit expensive.

For this post I will cover about the BTLinker T003.

In the specification sheet the BTLinker T003 is a very small and cute device. weight only at 22gram with a measurement of;

thickness x diameter x width: 0.2inch x 1.2inch x 0.5inch

The Smartband requires Bluetooth 4.0 and android 4.3 or later to operate. Good news is it also support Iphone (Iphone 4S and above).

Nothing in the specification mentioned any resistant to water or dust.

it doesn’t tell it has a processor or not but it has a removable battery which can only be open with a battery opening tool provided in the package.

Package Content;-

* 1 x Battery

* 1 x Watch

* 1 x Long Buttom

* 1 x Short Buttom

* 1 x Battery Opening Tool

* 1 x One-size-fits-all Sport Band Wristband，

* 1 x English Manual

To sync the band with your phone, you need to download an application from googleplay called BTLinker for android devices and the appstore for IOS. The app is free for download so no additional cost accure.

The application will be an interface for you for synchronization, setup or review your data (sound familiar huh?)

Since it not a color screened so I think it will have a pretty average battery life?

The Manufacturer claims the BTLinker:

• Monitor & Calculate the total time spent on walking, running, or cycling.

• Accurately record the amount of exercise, steps taken, distance travelled and calories burned.

• Detect total effective sleeping time and motions every night (including light sleep and deep sleep).

• Detect the ultraviolet light intensity, necessary to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

• Detect the indoor temperature as well as ambient temperature.

• Call / SMS notification: The speaker will sound to notify the user.

• Conveniently locate the final position of goods or the departure address of loved ones.

• Anti-lost function: Two-way anti-lost system that confirms the relative distance between the cell phone and the device; if the separation distance exceeds the safe distance, the alarm system will be activated.

The main features are really attractive.

Cons;

• Durability – nothing mentioning the resistant to water nor shock.

• Lifespan

• Battery Life

• Application Supports.

Year ago people really look down to china product but nowadays. Their innovation is beyond my expectation. Every company is trying to make a different by copying and enhancing the main player product. Its good actually. Nobody is really has the grip as leading market.

Come with an customize ICS by LeGarden (the software support team) called Four-Leaf Clover UI. its something like a launcher. doesn't change much on the overall look and still resemble ICS. For me the icon is kinda funny with the round edges. a bit cute and reminds me of Anna OS symbian.

Meizu MX4 - Fly me with QuadCore

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:16:00 +0000

There's nothing much i can tell about the MX4 or MX5Q. except the device is an upgrade of the MX and it come with a QuadCore processor. The processor is Exynos CPU Cortex A9 base clock at 1.4GHz. The quad core processor put the MX4 on par with the Galaxy S3 and HTC One X. Not forgetting its China rival the Dipper Chili Pepper, Huawei Ascend D1 and Lenovo Lephone K860. for a deep review regarding on the hardware and software of the MX4 you can go to gsmarena website or go to engadget. This 2 website provide a very good details on the technical details and give a lot of benchmark testing. so make sure to check it out.

Lets talk less about the technical stuff and more to the philosophy. The MX4 is an android device which was design to make the user have the feeling of having an android and IOS. you can see from the hardware designs, the resolution of the screen and the customizable android 4.0.3 flyme OS experiences. This phone is at its own level. You can compare the technical details here and there with other quad core android device but you wont find a built-in customizable UI that is as passion at FlyMe OS. Other than the Cyanogen mod custom rom which provide a much deeper control over the android system. MIUI that is quite similar to FlyMe OS is considered a very popular rom replacement in the android mod community.

Maybe the phone is trying to hard to challenge the iphone at iphone own game. i bet most of the chinese that have this phone are really proud of owning it.

The concept is there but still has a long way to go before people can understand the idea behind the phone. It does show off how much has China software engineering has evolve. I f you are looking for an android phone that offers a different experience this phone is a great choice. You maybe need to get familiar to the OS as it is VERY different. the android system is still there but the UI is totally rip Off and you wont see any ICS stuff in the OS.

priced at about USD570 for the 32GB version and USD740 for the 64GB version. It is a hard choice to make. Currently there are no vendor from Malaysia that sale this phone. So if you are interested to get the phone. i can help you.

Meizu MX - Dual Core

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:03:00 +0000

Meizu released the MX on March 2012 and said the MX will be their first born child to enter the international market.

The MX still maintain the M-style design with an extra power engine. Pack with a more powerfull CPU and GPU to compete with other international brand. the MX is measured 121.3 x 63.3 x 10.3mm that is 1.8mm thicker than Samsung Galaxy S2 and 1mm thinner than HTC Sensation. body are made out of plastic and is weight at 139 grams.

The screen is bigger than the M9 by 0.5 iches but 0.3 inches smaller than Galaxy S2 and HTC Sensation at 4.0 inches. the density is about 288 ppi with a resolution of 640 x 960 pixel. The screen uses the ASV capasitive touch technology. So it should provide a larger angle of view.

The engine itself is a Exynos Dual-Core 1.4GHz Cortex A9 processor (1.2GHz if runs on Gingerbread) with a Mali-400MP GPU. supported by a 1GB ram and has a variant of 8GB/16GB of internal memory. The MX has the same CPU and GPU that you can find on Galaxy devices. So you see it would run as smooth as Galaxy devices.

The battery is such a weakpoint since its only charged up to 1600 mAh. The MX pack an autofocus 8MP with a single LED flash. support HD recording up to 1080p. the secondary camera however is a normal VGA sensor. The MX only support MicroSIM, with a wide of functionality that equal to it other rivals that run on Dual Core CPUs.

The MX stand between Android and IOS. the UI is a custom version of android. which reassemble the IOS UI.

The Meizu MX can be bought in malaysia at the price of RM1,150.00 that is about USD370.

MEIZU M9 - The 1st

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:29:00 +0000

The Meizu M9 was announced on 24th January 2010. its the first generation of the Meizu that embrace Android. This Meizu M9 at the launching was a Froyo android v2.2 device but the Ui was a bit like MIUI OS. Meizu at the launching of The MX, introduce their own UI called FlyMe OS. If you want to get this phone by this year, i believe the device is still upgradable to ICS with a FlyMe Ui.

One problem with the M9 is that it came out with a few version. some version are said to come with a led flashed. the one i reviewed here does not have a flash.

The M9 was also said to come with a different type of earphone jack which is not a 3.5mm size (is it??). the M9 is a hsdpa device with no front face camera and No HDMI output. The screen is quite small sizing to 3.5inch and a non standard android screen resolution 960 x 640 pixel.

The processor is a samsung base S5PC110 Cortex A8 clocked at 1GHz with a 512MB ram and 512MB rom with a free 8GB/16GB sd card extention. The graphic is power by PowerVR 540.

Dimensions: 59,8 x 113 x 11 mm

Weight: 123 grams

Expansion slot: Micro SD / TF - No built-in storage, microSDHC support. (Will come with either an 8GB or 16GB TF card)

Display: 3.56" (49.92 x 74.88 mm), 960x640 pixel resolution, 16 million colors

Operating System: Android 2.2 Modified by Meizu(Includes English language)

Camera: 5 megapixels camera, Pictures in 2592 x 1944 pixels, autofocus, Records videos in 720p HD (1280x720) at 30 FPS, No flash in the first version

Battery: 1370 mAh

Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.1 / WiFi 802.11b/g/n (WiFi tethering is supported) / A-GPS / TV-out via mini USB

Ports: Mini USB 2.0, 3.5 mm audio jack

I would reccomend you to get the MX or MX4 rather than this one. The MX and MX4 is better tweak and has faster CPU and GPU.

The Meizu M9 is available in malaysia with the price of RM699.00 / USD240

Star N8000+ : Note Like

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 17:12:00 +0000

This beauty is another Star meant to shine. It does look like the Samsung Galaxy Note but its a total different device. The N8000+ doesn't have that "pen" that people love from the SG Note so that would make it a total different phone. Some people was hoping that the phone would had something similar to a pen but you can get that type of stylus anywhere these days.

Now, The screen is a bit smaller from the SG Note, the Star N8000+ features a 5 inch TFT capacitive screen with a WVGA display (800x480pxl) with 260k colors. its also a lot thicker measuring 12mm. The body is whole good made plastic. Nothing to fear as high end phone nowadays are made off almost the same plastic anyway.

The Star N8000+ is a dual sim 3G phone and prebuilt ICS device v4.0.4. the CPU is from MTK series, MT6577 Cortex A9 dual-core 1GHz processor. Some website claim the processor is 1.4GHz but i think it's refering to the max clock of the processor only. My research on the web guide me back that the MT6577 usually come with a 1GHz processor, so i cant say which clock does the CPU runs on. If you have this phone, why not comment in the section below, and tell me to how fast is the processor exactly. the ram is 512MB and a built in 4GB rom. Which also support external memory up to 32GB.

The N8000+ also pack an autofocus 8MP camera with a LED flash. the max resolution captured can go up to 3264 x 2448 pixels and also support full-HD video recording at 1080p. the front cam is 0.3MP 3G camera. Good enough for a video call and internet chat.

When buying this phone make sure to pay great attention on the version. there is a cheaper version (will be cover in the next post). that version loose some feature and kinda like a downgrade to this version. So make sure you confirm the (+) sign first before buying.

There's some website that mention this version also support TV transmission. The stylus at the bottom is the extended antenna for catching TV broadcast. From my source, there's no fact saying its a TV supported phone... hurmmmm... again if you are the owner of this phone. please comment at the section below.

The phone is price at USD169.16

STAR N800 - The STAR in the Galaxy

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 17:22:00 +0000

The STAR N800, this is a star that shine in the Galaxy universe. The STAR series is one of the most popular copycat phone is Asia. One of the main reason for this phone popularity is maybe because its quite similar to Samsung Galaxy series designs. I'll be covering more on the Star series later. I bet you'll be surprise.

As you can see it has the front design of the Galaxy series from Samsung. The center button, the back and Menu key is place at the same place with the same icon. Some website mentioned that the ICS inside it has some tweaking. i assume it would be on custom scripting to control the processor speed, ram speed and etc.

it come with two color versions. With a dimension of 123 x 68.5 x 10.5mm.

The Star N800 has a 4.5 Inch Screen with a resolution of 800x480 pixel. Its a dual sim phone with a dual band standby. The white version is pretty, its really pretty. The microusb port for data tranfer and charging is ported at the bottom of the phone. the 3.5 earphone jack and the ON-OFF/LOCK-UNLOCK key can be find at the top of the phone. The volume rocker is place at the right side of the phone. the design is really clean and tidy.

The Star N800 is powered by a MTK MT6575 1gHz chipsets, with the ram at 512MB and a built in 4GB rom. Enough for a basic android phone. The back camera is 8MP with a LED flash and 0.3MP front camera.

Other features that worth to mention is;

Frequency Band GSM: quad band, 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 2100MHz (for 3G network, this item only supports WCDMA, not CDMA or EVDO)

Support FM radio
Wifi 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.0, support Bluetooth A2DP
Built in GPS + AGPS

Battery 2500mAh rechargeable battery

its may reassemble the Galaxy look but it doesnt match the built quality and hardware that Samsung Galaxy phone has to offer. But still it can run pretty well and i believe you gonna like it. it still can run most of the android apps smoothly. And here i also want to warn you that is better to pick this phone rather than some replica phone with a fake android OS.

The Star N800 is price at USD139.99

Star X26i - NXT series

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 16:54:00 +0000

Today i found a good replica phone that i want to share with you today. Its not a High-End version but it worth to show off to the world.

It was not long ago, when Sony was still an Ericsson and they was one of the 1st company who answered to the call of android OS. do you remember, Sony Ericson Xperia X10 which was the 1st generation android phone that come with a 1ghz processor. Then slumbered down with they crappy software support and development. Everyday when you open up the SE Blog. all you see is people talking trash in the comment section mentioning how they are disappointed how SE respond to they complaint.

Well that time is over, Sony Mobile has taken back the glorious moment of they era. Even a bit late but not too far behind. This phone is the proof of that. Third party phone manufacturers tent to copycat great design and functions of a great phone.

Introducing the STAR X26i.... i can guess what you are gonna say... one of it might be Wat The F??

This phone does reassemble the look of Xperia NXT series. With the hardware button place almost at the same area. The STAR X26i thickness is about 10.2mm that is 0.4mm thinner than the Xperia S and 0.3mm thinner than the Xperia P. It is a lot smaller than the Xperia S base on the dimension (123mm X 62.5mm X 10.2mm). It weight at 128gram, heavier than the Xperia S but lighter than the Xperia P.

The STAR X26i is an ICS base device powered by MT6575 ARMv7 Cortex-A9 processor clocked at 1ghz. The graphic however is the PowerVR SGC531. with only a 512MB Ram and a 4GB rom.

It is foolish to compare the hardware of the STAR X26i to the REAL Xperia NXT series cos even compared to XPERIA U. The MT chipset and the PowerVr GPU is still a NO MATCH to the NOVATHOR and SNAPDRAGON chipset.

Let just look at it this way, you have longed for the Xperia but at some point you cant spend that much money for a phone. so this phone WIN straight away. Plus its a Dual Standby-Sim support. So you can save your money for a second phone.

Other Features;



Phone Standard:	GSM
Network Bands:	GSM850/900/1800/1900MHz WCDMA 2100 MHz
Operating System:	Android OS 4.0
CPU:	MTK6575 1Ghz + 280MHz
Built-in Memory:	4GB RAM + 512 ROM
Memory Slot Type:	supports Micro SD/T-Flash memory card & expandable up to 32GB
SIM Card & Standby:	Dual sim card standby
LCD Screen:	4.3 inches,WVGA Capacitive touch screen, (480 x 800pxl)
Camera(s):	Back camera: 5.0 megapixel with flashlight
Camera(s):	Front Camera: 0.3 megapixel
Touch pannel:	Yes
WIFI(WLAN):	Yes

support FM Radio
support A-GPS

Data Transfer & Connectivity:
3G	Yes
WIFI(WLAN):	Yes
Short Message:	supports SMS, MMS
Bluetooth:	Support Bluetooth 2.0
Email:	Yes
Wap:	Yes
GPRS:	Yes

Its not a bad phone anyway. The manufacturer didnt take away the best of Android v4.0. It still can do you all the games and application. You wont notice much different with normal apps and low ram Games. It will run smooth for your daily basis used.

The STAR X26i is price at approx USD163.27

SmartQ U7 - Take your Cinema anywhere You Go

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 17:48:00 +0000

Having a projector in your Office or at the comfort of your home is normal this day. But having it on your mobile is something new to excite on. You've seen it on the Samsung Galaxy Beam but have you thought having it on your tablet?

The SmartQ U7 is not your normal china brand tablet. its a tablet that has been equipped with a integrated projector. The SmartQ U7 android projector tablet is a 7 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display and is capable of projecting a approximately 50 inch (854 x 480 pixel) image on the wall or a projector screen for viewing. plus the device has a IPS screen so you can still view it for a vari angle.

The SmartQ U7 tablet is a Jelly Bean android v4.1.1 pre-installed device and come with 2 version.

1GHz OMAP 4430 processor, 1GB DDR3 ram and a 8GB internal storage.
1.5GHz OMAP 4460 processor, 1GB DDR3 ram and a 16GB of internal storage.

The manufacturer claim the LED projector able to survive a 20,000 hours of used with a projection size from 5 inch to 50 inch with a WVGA resolution (854x480pixel).

The SmartQ U7 has a 2MP rear and back camera. has a lot of fizikal button on the top side such as volume button, lock/unlock toggle and a projector toggle button. on the right body is pack with DC In, microUSB port, 3.5 earphone Jack, HDMI port and a SD slot that support up to 32GB of external storage. The battery is huge 4800mAH which promise to deliver a continuous 3.5 hours of projection.

The downside is; it lost some basic features.

WiFi version only. no 3G modem built in. requires a 3G modem dongle.
No GPS.
NO Bluetooth.
i doubt there's a Easy UI for the Projector control like we seen on the Galaxy Beam.
No HD video recording.
No weight specification mentioned. Expecting the device is heavy with the high capacity battery insert-in.

I'm not sure what category of people that would be interested to buy this tablet. The budget is quite pricy with a starting price range for the 8GB version about USD300 and the 16GB version that would be around USD450. The projector feature is neat but not so practical for daily use. But if you are rich? just go ahead buy it and brag all you want with the people that has an ipad with them.

Dipper Chili Pepper - Red Hot Chilli pepper

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 16:44:00 +0000

I've never heard of this Brand before. I'd search high and low, all i got is this brand originated from Hong Kong.

Enough with that. hot as the name was. this is maybe the cheapers quad-core phone you'll ever find till date. The price is almost a quarter of the Galaxy S3 price.

The Dipper Chilli Pepper Quad series support dual-sims and both sim can standby at the same time. but in 2G and 3G sequence. The screen measures about 4.7inch, capasitive type with a resolution of 1280x720p. Nothing was mentions on the screen technology. it does not have the Super IPS LCD2 technology even it seem to replicate the design of the HTC ONE X. With the thickness of 9.9mm this phone is considered a slim phone. its 1.3mm thicker than the galaxy s3 and 1mm thicker than the HTC One X.

The Quad version of the Dipper Chilli Pepper pack the NVDIA Tegra 3 Quad-Core 1.5MHz processor the same one you'll find in the HTC ONE X. but i doubt that it will match the benchmark that HTC One X has. The Ram is about 1GB DDR3, the rom meanwhile is not 32GB. its about 4GB and can be expand to 32GB.

the camera packs a 8MP cmos sensor without any LED flash. So it may not a good snapper in a low light room or scene. Some website claims the front camera is 3MP. but i worries it may be a typo like forgeting to put number 1 behing the .3MP .

i dont see any problem can occur when playing game and multimedia since it is a ICS built device and the Tegra 3 chipset was made for multimedia rich-enhancement especially for HD videos and movies. except if the manufacturer want to block some features to maintain stability or save the power as the battery is just about 1630mAH only. Other features is not worth to be mention since there are no official website that can prove the specifications.

The price for this device is about USD190.13 - USD201.23

Huawei Ascend D1 Quad

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 15:51:00 +0000

Huawei Ascend D1 Quad is the 1st quad core device release by the company for international market.

This Ascend does come with great design. The plastic doesnt look cheap. its stand out and worth to be phrase and admire. it has it owns style and the owner of this device should be proud of it. ICS pre-installed and the screen size is approximately at 4.5inch. the screen is capacitive type with IPS TFT design with a resolution at 720 x 1280p. its not a dual sim. support HDMI output max to 1920x1080p.

weight about 132grams with a dimension of 64.9 x 129.9 x 9.3 millimetres. it is very thin and huawei has done a great job squeezing the great hardware into this little monster. it has 1GB of Ram (some website says its 2GB) with a 8GB internal rom, 7.5GB ready to be used by the user. support SD extention up to 32GB.

here a video by phonearena on the P1 if u wondered how the ICS look like;

this review is about the P1 and not the D1. hope u notice this.

Multimedia is great on this device. it pack a 8MP cmos sensor that can record HD vid up to full HD. with dual flash under the hood for low light capture. the front pack the 1.3MP camera. Data tranfer is fast with its bluetooth v3.0 and the WiFi support all the type B/G/N.

One thing to mentioned about this phone is the processor. Huawei designed the processor themself. naming it K3V2 HiSilicon Hi3620. the quad core cortex A9 is Armv7 base with a max of 1.5Mhz if overclock and about 1.2Mhz if underclock.

Did you read that correctly? yes, its a Quad Core CPU. Huawei announce that the international version is clock at 1.4MHz. that's mean, u can still overclock it to the max. if ROOTED of course. Now the only problem is the GPU. I believe these chipset operate almost like the intel on our pc. which mean it has a built in GPU. Something like the Tegra 3 but Huawei dare to say that their are faster and more economical in power. I cant confirm this for now. cos i dont understand how this type of chipset really works actually. There's no info and confirmation from other website too. even if you google it in the main website itself here.

Main Features;

Claims by Huawei from their website.

the price for this device is about USD509.99 . is it worth it? it depend on you.

Lenovo Lephone K860 - Lenovo Monster

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 07:34:00 +0000

Meet the titan Lenovo Lephone K860. a Dual Sim Quad-Core ICS base phone. a great rival to the Meizu MX. it has a massive 5.0" AH-IPS type capasitive touch display with a resolution of 1280 x 720p.

The phone size up to a dimension of 143.5 x 75 x 9.6mm. considered the 9.6mm thickness is quite slim for a 5" phone somewhere in the middle of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2.

The Lephone K860 doesnt come only with size. it has a big engine to it. the CPU is the same as used in Galaxy's High End phone, Exynos 4412 Quad-core 1.5G MHz but some website claim its will be underclock to 1.2/1.4MHz?! really? The GPU by the way is the MALI 400MP. Its a great multitasking phone with its DDR3 1GB ram and a built in 8GB rom. Not just that, it's till support SD extension to 32GB.

taking photos and videos is not a problem with its HD capability. the 8MP back camera and the 2MP front camera can cover all your necessary need in mobile photography and videography.

It has all what android Ice Cream Sandwich v4.0.4 has to offer. Navigation enhancement by A-GPS Internet-assisted Navigation. support WiFi 802.11 b/g for wireless connection. support A2DP Bluetooth Stereo with bluetooth v2.0.

With all the Battery Drain capability, they power it up with a 2250mAH battery, enough to last for a few days usage.

With great power come great price. the Lephone K860 is priced about USD458.70. approx the Note 2 and Galaxy S3 price range. But if you want to put yourself out of the Galaxy, Optimus and One community. this phone is a great alternative. it take you out of the korean-taiwan android domination from the design, built quality and unique style of used.

HYUNDAI HOLD X - Dual Core Engine

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 03:14:00 +0000

Here's a good looking 7" Tablet just for you.

Embrace with Android v4.1. you can expect a smooth UI, better battery life and great software optimization. It has all what Jelly Bean can offers. lack with developers customization. the Ui would be a bit tricky to handle. what i mean is if you are not familiar with ICS.

the HOLD X is powered by a 3700mah Battery. expect a long usage from that. the battery quite big, no Internal 3G means better battery saving. with Jelly Bean inside, the battery would last more than 2 days.
