Xiaomi and NVIDIA have announced that the flagship phone from Xaiomi, the Mi3 is now officially the first Tegra 4 phone which will be able to access games from TegraZone. The Mi3 comes with a 5” 1080p display (441ppi) and up to 64GB of internal storage. The clock frequency details of this Tegra 4 phone were not immediately disclosed (do we really care that much?), but we know that this can slightly vary from vendor to vendor, depending on the thermal design of each phone.

Earlier today, the Qualcomm Toq was announced by Qualcomm’s CEO Dr. Paul E. Jacobs at Uplinq, and we managed to grab the Toq that Rob Chandhok (Qualcomm SVP) had with him.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC QX10

We all know that a large part of photos and videos are shot from smartphones, and the point and shoot camera market share is shrinking. According to a NPD Group study published in December 2011, consumers now take more than a quarter of all photos and videos on smartphones.

Inventing the next generation camera that will be competitive in the smartphone market has become a necessity for manufacturers. Sony has often been at the forefront of product innovation in the past, and with the release of its new “Lens Style Camera”, the company exceeded our expectations. Basically, the Cyber-shot DSC QX100 and DSC-QX10 are stand-alone cameras that look like lenses and that can be attached to a phone to use it as a grip, a view finder and a remote control.
