Samsung SCH-i425 Godiva outed in benchmark tests, headed for Verizon

DNP Samsung SCHi425 Godiva outed in benchmark testing, likely headed for Verizon

Like Lady Godiva herself, a phone dubbed the Samsung Godiva has been seen naked — at least as far as benchmarks are concerned. The site GLBenchmark has revealed it has a 1.4GHz MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 SoC on board, along with Adreno 305 graphics, a 720p screen, Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and support for Verizon’s LTE network. Its SCH-i425 model number points to the possibility that it might be the successor to the Stratosphere II (which was known as the SCH-i415) and could therefore sport a sliding keyboard, but that remains firmly speculative at the moment. Yet, seeing as how Samsung’s mobile offerings at CES 2013 were practically non-existent, we’re betting the Godiva — unlike the Lady of Coventry’s ride in the nude — is more fact than fiction.

Mysterious ASUS P1801-T visits the FCC, might be the finished Transformer AiO (updated)

Mysterious ASUS P1801-T visits the FCC, might be the finished Transformer AiO

The FCC sometimes gets a peek at hardware and reveals nothing but a model number to hint at what’s passed through its labyrinth. The latest filing leaving us scratching our heads is for the ASUS P1801-T, a “tablet” which could be the final version of the Transformer AiO prototype we saw back at Computex. How did we arrive at the AiO? Well, the model number is a possible clue — ASUS’ Eee Slate B121 has a 12.1-inch panel, so P1801-T may point to this device having 18 inches of screen. As ASUS’ dual-OS prototype all-in-one is the only (sort of) tablet we’ve seen with roughly that many inches, we assume the company is getting paperwork done before a proper launch at CES 2013. A “P1801” running Android 4.1.1 has also popped up at GLBenchmark, with Tegra3 graphics, a 1,920 x 1080 graphics and a Cortex-A9 CPU inside. If ASUS is keeping two OS’s as per the AiO prototype, that processor caters for only one Microsoft product — Windows RT. We’ll just be kept wondering until we hear something official, but at least for us, an 18-inch Android / RT super-tablet and part-time desktop sounds like it could be a hard sell.

Update: We noticed that the original PR from Computex 2012 stated that the tablet portion could also “become a wireless display for the AiO PC,” which could mean that the base unit is full-fledged Windows 8 machine with x86 hardware, making it a much more tempting idea.

Samsung GT-S6810P Spotted In GLBenchmark

Hmmm, this certainly did not take too long – the Samsung GT-N5100 was recently spotted over at GLBenchmark, and here we are with another Samsung device that has been spotted on the very same benchmark. I am referring to the Samsung GT-S6810P, and since it lacks the “N” designation, this would most probably not fall under the Note family or range. Unlike the Samsung GT-N5100, the Samsung GT-S6810P does seem to be more subdued device that will be extremely comfortable resting in the mid-range scheme of things, although it will still come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

Don’t be too surprised to hear that the display has a resolution which will disappoint many who are used to high end specifications – we are talking about just 480 × 320 pixels here, where it will run on a 1GHz processor, which in all probability, is a dual-core processor. If you were to take a closer look at the specs list and make a comparison, this should not be too far different from the Galaxy Ace Plus, and who knows, it might very well be the fabled Samsung Galaxy Frame that we talked about earlier?

GLBenchmark rats out possible Acer Iconia Tab A220 with Tegra 3, Jelly Bean

GLBenchmark rats out possible Acer Iconia Tab A220 with Tegra 3, Jelly Bean

Device testing site GLBenchmark has a knack for sniffing out real products before manufacturers are ready to parade them, so our ears perked up when we saw a certain Acer Iconia Tab A220 pop up on its list. According to system and test specs, the alleged slate of unknown dimensions would flaunt Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, along with a 1280 x 752 screen resolution and quad-core, 1.3GHz Tegra CPU. If such a device proved to have a 7-inch screen or so, that would make it a possible Nexus 7 wannabe, giving a zippier, higher-res option to the A110. Of course, benchmarks are easy enough to fake, so we’ll keep our eyes peeled for any clues of the more concrete variety.

Samsung Galaxy Premier rumor gathers steam with leaked GLBenchmark results

DNP Samsung Galaxy Premier rumor

When we first heard of a rumored Samsung Galaxy Premier handset that might be a Nexus device, we had our doubts, especially when we saw TouchWiz adorning the alleged leaked image from Mobile Geeks. Now, GLBenchmark is also giving the idea of a new model more credence, as it briefly showed a possible GT-I9260 model packing a 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED display, dual 1.5GHz processor and 8-megapixel camera. The page has since been pulled, but a screen cap of the benchmark (after the break) shows PowerVR SGX 544 graphics on the device along with middle-of-the-road scores, though all that would be on a pre-production handset without final software, if it’s accurate. Whether such a device would come along at a Google event or one of Samsung’s shindigs remains to be seen, but its very existence should be taken with a boulder-sized chunk of salt.

Toshiba Excite 10SE / AT300SE gets caught visiting the FCC, may tout Jelly Bean

Toshiba Excite 10SE  AT300SE possibly sighted at the FCC, may tout Jelly Bean

If you’re Toshiba, what do you do when you’re looking to goose interest in the Excite 10 tablet? Roll out a quick follow up, of course. Accordingly, the FCC has just recently cleared a refreshed tablet, the AT300SE, that the Bluetooth SIG suggests will be called the Excite 10SE in North America. As shown, it’s a European-spec WiFi model that gives away little by itself. It’s when we combine this with the Bluetooth listing and speed tests that a clearer picture of the upgrade emerges — there’s been an AT300SE in GLBenchmark’s performance charts that we’ve seen running Jelly Bean (unavailable to current Excites) on top of what looks to be the familiar 1,280 x 800 display and 1.3GHz Tegra 3. While there may be other surprises lurking in areas the tests can’t reach, the documents point to a quick nip-and-tuck from Toshiba to keep tablet sales afloat rather than a full overhaul.

Rumored HTC Verizon phablet may land soon, with 1080p screen and 1.5GHz Snapdragon

Rumored HTC Verizon phablet may land soon with 1080p screen, 15GHz Snapdragon S4

Samsung and LG have already embraced the tiny-tablet form factor. It only makes sense that HTC would want to carve out a niche of this niche for themselves. Rumors of a five-inch HTC device have been circulating for some time, but now a report from DigiTimes is lending some credence to those murmurings, and a mysterious handset from the Taiwanese manufacturer has popped up over at GLBenchmark. According to unnamed sources the company has been working on a flagship level (One XXL?) device with a stunning 1,794 x 1,080 display, due to be released in either September or October. If you’re taking that claim with a grain of salt, we don’t blame you. But, an entry for the HTC 6435LVW that just popped up at GLBenchmark.com seems to fit the bill pretty nicely. It has the same listed resolution, which we assume is actually a 1,920 x 1,080 panel with room set aside for Android’s soft keys. The device info has it running ICS, version 4.0.4 to be specific, on a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 — which should make it quite the powerful piece of hardware. The software build also singles it out as a Verizon handset, which means it’ll be packing an LTE radio as well. Whether the rumored stylus is included, a la the Flyer, remains to be seen, but, we shouldn’t have to wait much longer to find out for sure.

Mystery HTC device flaunts class-leading benchmarks, 1080p display

Mystery HTC device flaunts classleading benchmarks, 1080p display

When we say “mystery,” we totally mean it. We don’t know if this is a phone or a tablet, or even if it’s real — stranger things have happened that concocted benchmarks. All we can say for sure is that a previously unheard-of device called the HTC 6435LVW has appeared over at the Community Uploads section of the GLBenchmark site, scoring a ridiculous 121 FPS in the Egypt Offscreen 720p test — that’s more than twice the score of the HTC One X (LTE), and 20 percent higher than the current performance supremo, the Galaxy S III. But that’s not all, because the benchmark listing also throws up some specs: notably a 1794 x 1080 resolution (could that mean a new HTC tablet with onscreen buttons?) and a Qualcomm MSM8960 processor (could it be the Pro version?). There are too many questions to contemplate, but here’s one final detail: the Android ICS version is described as a Verizon build, so if this thing is legit maybe that’s where it’s headed.
