RAmos W42 tablet boasts quad-core Exynos chip, sells for around $200

RAmos W42 tablet boasts quadcore Exynos chip, sells for around $200

It’s been a long, long while since we last heard about RAmos ’round here, but that doesn’t mean the Chinese company isn’t trying to remain relevant in the electronics game. As such, we’re more than happy to tell you about the outfit’s newest Android slate, the 9.4-inch RAmos W42, which is powered by a wallop of Ice Cream Sandwich, Mali-400 GPU and a Samsung-made quad-core processor — more specifically, it’s the Exynos 4412. Other tablet specs include a not-too-shabby 1,280 x 800 IPS display, 1GB RAM, 16GB of built-in storage (expandable by way of microSD) and the now-accustomed front and rear cameras. The W42 appears to be up for grabs at e-tailers like the one linked below for about 200 bucks — now, with some great options around that same price, only time will tell whether or not folks are tempted by this very one.

Verizon, AT&T put Samsung’s Galaxy Note II on pre-sale for $300 with a two-year contract

Verizon, AT&T put Samsung's Galaxy Note II on presale for $299 with a twoyear contract

Samsung’s Galaxy Note II played coy at first by only hanging out with the European crowd, but now that it’s here, it’s the life of the US carrier party. The two biggest, AT&T and Verizon, have now glommed the phablet and each are offering it for pre-sale in all its quad-core Exynos, 5.5-inch glory for $300 under a two-year contract. We just handled Verizon’s variant, but weren’t sure of a sale date, and AT&T’s version, which we saw earlier was already expected for pre-order today. When Sprint’s copy of the handset arrives later today, that’ll round out the Note II’s major US carrier dance card — so you’ll be able to grab it at whichever plucks on your heart (or purse) strings.

Samsung Galaxy Note II for T-Mobile now available for $370 on contract

Samsung Galaxy Note II for TMobile now available for $370 on contract

T-Mobile may be a bit late to the Samsung Galaxy Note II party, but the mega-sized 5.5-inch smartphone has now landed in its online store for $370 on contract. You’ll need to commit yourself for two years to get that price, but if you can manage it, the quad-core packing handset looks to be ready to ship in Marble White or Titanium Gray shades. Its presence in the store slid under the radar with few other details or fanfare, but if you’ve been eying a T-Mob variant of the phablet with bad intent, check the source to see how to grab it.

[Thanks, Amon]

Lenovo’s K860 phablet gets priced in China: 2,188 yuan on August 28th

Lenovo's K860 phablet gets priced in China 2,188 yuan on August 28th

Lenovo’s K860 has been making the rounds for a while now. That five-incher’s specs are hardly a secret. But, what has continued to evade us was a price and release date for this quad-core Exynos-powered beast. Thankfully, the Chinese manufacturer has finally come clean and we are happy to tell you the phablet will be hitting shelves tomorrow, August 28th, for 2,188 yuan (about $344). The initial run of this heavily skinned ICS handset will be fairly limited unfortunately — only 2,000 will be released on the first day. But, we’re sure a wider release can’t be far behind.

Lenovo reveals K860 LePhone, quad-core Exynos and a 5-inch screen

It’s been a pretty good week for Lenovo all things told, but the Chinese firms isn’t stopping to congratulate itself too much. Today, it’s business as usual, marked by the official arrival of the new K860 “Music Phone” aka LePhone. The quad-core 1.4GHz Exynos 4412 chip, Mali-400MP GPU, 5-inch (1,280 x 720) display, 1GB of RAM and slight 9.6mm-thick form should come together to sing a sweet song though. The 8-megapixel snapper is no slouch either, with support for 100 frames continuous shooting and 1080p video recording (plus there’s a 2-megapixel camera around the front, too). If all this sounds like a recipe for battery-drain, there’s a 2,250 mAh cell to help keep you going. This will all be running on Android 4.0.4, but currently no word on price or availability — but it’s not like there aren’t any other large phones to think about in the meantime.

Update: We got a little excited in the translation for a moment there. The “Music” (or Happiness — both the same symbol) Phone is of course the LePhone we link to in the article.

Meizu MX 4-core review

Meizu MX 4-core review

If it feels like yesterday you read our in-depth review of the dual-core Meizu MX, you’re not too far from the truth. In reality, it’s been just over seven months and we’ve already moved onto the smartphone’s quad-core sequel, aptly named the Meizu MX 4-core. Not only is it easy to confuse the two phones by name, but good luck trying to tell which one is which. Indeed, the two handsets are quite similar both inside and out, with the exception of some improvements in a couple rows on the ‘ol spec sheet.

The biggest surprise isn’t necessarily the speed with which the company cranked out a second MX, and it’s not even the reasonable price (HK$3,099, or US$400, or the 32GB version, and HK$4,099 / US$530 for the 64GB). Nope, it’s seeing Meizu, a manufacturer known for its copycat products, evolving into a relevant player beyond its native China. So how does this latest effort stack up? Read on to find out.

Did the Galaxy Note II’s impressive benchmarks briefly get leaked?

Did the Galaxy Note II's impressive benchmarks briefly get leaked

Well, Samsung has something up its sleeve, we know that much. Whether or not we’re looking at a new Note remains to be seen, but it’s safe to assume Sammy will update its phablet line as it approaches its first birthday. So it’s no wonder people’s suspicions were piqued when a mysterious device made a brief appearance at GLBenchmark.com with the model number GT-N7100. The original Note was N7000, so obviously many are guessing this unnamed Ice Cream Sandwich device is its successor. All the details have since been pulled, but PhoneArena managed to snag a screenshot. Whatever it turns out to be, we know it’s got a 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos 4412 processor with Mali-400 graphics — the same you’ll find inside the Galaxy S III. The one spec that does leave a bit of doubt however is the resolution, which is listed at juts 1280×720, instead of the 1280×800 of the original. In the benchmarks it manages to eke out scores slightly higher than the GSIII, which makes sense thanks to its higher clocked CPU. Now it’s just time to sit back and play the waiting game.

Lenovo LePhone K860 surfaces with quad-core Exynos processor, 5-inch screen, and Android 4.0

Lenovo LePhone K860 surfaces with quadcore Exynos processor, 5inch screen, and Android 40

This one isn’t fully official just yet, but Blog of Mobile has turned up some pictures and specs for a new Lenovo LePhone K860 that would appear to one-up the company’s existing offerings. Perhaps most notably, this one is said to pack a quad-core, 1.4GHz Exynos 4412 processor (the same found in some variants of the Galaxy S III), along with a 5-inch screen boasting a 1280 x 720 resolution. Otherwise, you’ll apparently get a 2 megapixel camera up front and 8 megapixels ’round back, 1GB of RAM, and Android 4.0 for an OS (no mention of a 4.1 upgade). No indication of a price, but it looks like it will be hitting China in August.
