The Casio G’z0ne Commando has been a rather quiet option on Verizon’s network, but for those wanting a rugged and tough smartphone on Big Red’s network, the Commando is a very safe bet. It’s even a better option now because a new version of the phone was seen making its way through the FCC, equipped with Verizon’s blazingly-fast 4G LTE.
Formally called the Casio G’z0ne Commando 811, the new handset comes with an all-new look on top of the brand new LTE chip. Of course, it’s not the most beautiful phone to look at, but if it’s protection from rain, dust, drops, etc. that you’re looking for. the Commando 811 may be the phone for you.
It’s very similar to our recently-reviewed Kyocera Torque, only this newer version is getting a bigger screen, a front-facing camera, and possibly an upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean based on the new navigation-key arrangement at the bottom of the device. And of course, it’s got the black and red color scheme that Verizon is notorious for on its Android handsets.
Nothing is official yet, but we should be hearing from Verizon and Casio with an official announcement sometime soon. It just cleared from the FCC, so it should only be a matter of time before those that need a viable option for a rugged smartphone equipped with LTE will be able to grab the Commando 811 from Big Red.

The G-Shock brand from Casio is a well known one for sure, and there are new releases being rolled from time to time, and all of them share one common feature – they are highly durable, and love getting rough and dirty with you. Well, the latest GB-5600AB and GB-6900AB shock-resistant watches from Casio do have a potential ace up its sleeve, which is the ability to communicate with an iPhone. These new additions to the G-Shock range will feature Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth Low Energy Wireless Technology) connectivity, hence allowing it to communicate with the iPhone.
Not only can your new timepiece be notified of incoming calls and e-mails, it will also be able to enable the iPhone alarm function from the watch button itself. Apart from that, the timepiece is also smart enough to adjust itself to the exact time, depending on the time zone that you are in simply by synchronizing itself to the time data that the iPhone sends out. Other features include a high-brightness LED backlight, a vaunted two-year battery life and a special “G” logo which lets you know at a glance that it has Bluetooth 4.0 technology built-in. No idea on pricing though.

Casio has announced two new stylish digital cameras, the EX-N5 and the EX-N50. Both cameras share features like Color, Materials, and Finishing (CMF) designs and easy-to-grip bodies. Design is an important aspect of these cameras, with the body featuring smooth, rounded edges for a “mature, elegant” appearance. You can check out a gallery of the camera, as well as its specs, after the jump.
The EX-N5 is available in four colors: black, silver, white, and red, while the EX-N50 is available in three colors: red, blue, and silver. The former features a two-tone lens ring, while the latter has a pinstripe pattern across the body, making it easy to tell them apart. The N50 has a slightly larger body than the N5, weighing in at 132 grams versus the lighter model at 129 grams.
Aside from that, the cameras have the same specs, with both featuring a 16.1-megapixel CCD sensor and a 2.7-inch TFT display. Users can expect to snap about 180 photographs or record about 1.3 hours of continuous HD video per charge. Video can be recorded in up to 720p HD, with the lowest setting being 640 x 480.
Optical zoom is a decent 6x, with an additional 4x digital zoom for a total of 24x when using both. Images are kept clear via contrast detection auto focus, as well as a macro focus mode for up-close images. ISO ranges from 64 to 1600, and there are a variety of white balance options for proper exposure. To keep things simple, both devices support Eye-Fi and FlashAir wifi cards.

Casio has launched its new EX-ZS30 compact digital camera. This point-and-shoot is aimed at beginners and features all the things you’d expect in a modern compact digital camera wrapped up in a stainless steel body. You can check out the device’s specs, as well as a gallery of pictures after the jump.
The EX-ZS30 has a 20.1-megapixel CCD sensor, giving a high enough resolution for any average user’s needs. The body itself is made from stainless steel, and is available in five colors: pink, purple, white, silver, and black. All of the functions and features are pretty basic, not surprising considering that the handset itself is aimed at beginners and those who want a simple camera for snapping pictures of their kids, friends, and pets.
To keep things simple, around back users will find dedicated buttons for the most common tasks performed, such as viewing and deleting images. To ensure that images come out as clear as possible, the EX-ZS30 offers Premium Auto mode, which auto-chooses both the mode and the processing necessary for the setting. This includes such modes that typically have to be selected manually, such as macro and night scenes.
To give uses their Instagram-like filter fix, there are eight “artistic effects” that can be applied to images: Pop, Sepia, Monochrome, Light Tone, Soft Focus, Toy Camera, Fish Eye, and Miniature. There’s also something called Dynamic Photo, which according to the announcement allows photographers to select eight moving character presets and combine them with a photograph.

Here is a compact digital camera for those of you whose loyalties remain with the Casio brand name – the 20.1-megapixel Casio EX-ZS30. You will not find professional photographers as well as serious shutterbugs looking this way though, as the Casio EX-ZS30 is a textbook case for an entry-level compact digital camera, sporting an array of buttons that make it a snap to shoot, view and delete your images.
Housed within a stainless steel chassis, the Casio EX-ZS30 will sport a CCD sensor alongside a 20.1-megapixel count, carry a wide angle 26mm lens with 6x optical zoom in tow. Specially developed to target beginners to the world of digital photography, the Casio EX-ZS30 will feature dedicated buttons for shooting, viewing and deleting, and the “Premium Auto” mode is smart enough to analyze the shooting scene automatically before making its own choice where settings are concerned. To add more “flavor” to your shots, eight artistic effects are there for you to choose from. Expect to pick up the Casio EX-ZS30 for €129 this coming March in silver, black, purple, white and pink colors.
