Huawei Ascend G710 reportedly spied touting a 5-inch, 720p screen

Huawei Ascend G710 reportedly spied, may tout a 5inch, 720p screen

Just because Huawei has already launched a small torrent of smartphones two months into 2013 doesn’t mean the company is taking a vacation anytime soon. Evleaks has spotted what’s purported to be the Ascend G710, a not-quite-high-end smartphone that would sit just below the Ascend D2. While it would preserve the 5-inch screen and 1.5GHz quad-core processor, it would dip to a 720p resolution. There’s hints that it may be more a step sideways, however, through some less performance-minded changes: the G710 would have a premium-looking metal (or metal-effect) back, free up screen real estate with capacitive navigation buttons and talk to both CDMA and GSM networks. When the camera, storage and the all-important launch plans are still missing, though, there’s a long way to go before we know where this latest Ascend might sit in Huawei’s catalog.

Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Gamers are extremely particular about the kind of hardware that they use. You could say that there is even a sense of loyalty attached to it, although when it comes to sponsored pro-gamers, I do wonder whether they secretly feel that the company paying their monthly checks are the ones that they truly support deep down inside. Well, Logitech has long been known to come up with a fair range of gaming peripherals, and one of the their latest “wonders” would be the Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard that sports high-speed, low noise mechanical keys as well as an adjustable dual-zone backlighting in order to deliver lightning fast and whisper quiet gaming – letting you frag your opponents while the missus is soundly sleeping beside you. Best to make sure you have a silent mouse at your disposal, too.

Specially designed to help you focus on the game itself instead of being bogged down by making sure the keyboard responds to your commands and fingers, the Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard has been tested with professional gamers, partners, publishers, and everyday gamers, with the final result being what you get for this $149.99 keyboard.

Thanks to the keyboard’s mechanical keys, they are able to deliver gaming-grade responsiveness, while boasting of an actuation force of 45 grams as well as a distance of 4mm. Not only that, they are specially optimized for rapid command entry. In addition, the non-clicking key switches come with a built-in dampening ring underneath each keycap in order to have a significant reduction in the distracting noise that comes out from your key presses without having to sacrifice on responsiveness. It is said to boast of a cycle life of at least a 50 million keystrokes, now how about that?

The whole keyboard comes backlit in white LED light, and can be adjusted to one of four brightness levels, where it can then be turned completely off if you feel that you do not want to be that “flashy”. In order to achieve better visibility of the WASD and arrow keys, their brightness levels can be adjusted independently of the rest of the keyboard, making it a truly tour de force of gaming.

Logitech unveils G710+ mechanical gaming keyboard

Are you in the market for a new gaming keyboard? Well if you are, perhaps you might be interested to learn that Logitech has unveiled their new mechanical gaming keyboard, the G710+. For gamers who love the feel of mechanical but don’t enjoy the clicking noises that it produces, the G710+ comes with dampening rings underneath each key that will reduce the noise coming from the keyboard, although on the flipside this might put gamers off who love the clacking noises that are typically associated with mechanical keyboards.

The keys will also be backlit with a white LED light and can be turned off or adjusted to four different brightness levels. As expected from a gaming keyboard, the WASD and the arrow keys can have its brightness adjusted separate from the rest of the keys. Logitech will also include their latest Logitech Gaming Software which allows users to assignment macros or Lua gaming scripts to the keyboard’s G-keys. The G710+ will also feature anti-ghosting capabilities, a 26-key rollover and will also be compatible with Windows 8. Logitech has also boasted a keyboard lifetime of 50 million keystrokes. The Logitech G710+ is expected to be available in the US beginning in October and will be priced at $150.
