DataWind‘s no stranger to making inexpensive tablets (India’s Aakash immediately comes to mind) but to date its products (including the iconic PocketSurfer) have only featured 2G connectivity — in addition to WiFi, of course. This appears to be changing with the Ubislate 3G7, an unannounced 7-inch, 3G-enabled tablet that recently sauntered through the FCC. According to the test reports, it supports quadband GPRS and tri-band HSPA (2100 / 1900 / 850MHz), making it compatible with AT&T “4G” in the US. Little else is known about this mystery device beyond what’s outlined in the FCC documents. From what we’ve been able to gather, it features WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0, a microSD card slot plus front and rear (2 MP) cameras. Follow the source link below to check it out for yourself.

Just because Qualcomm’s gone to plaid (aka. reached ludicrous speed) with its Snapdragon 800 flagship doesn’t mean the company’s been standing still at the other end of the market. The Snapdragon 200 family just received a major boost with the introduction of six new chips geared at China and other emerging markets. Available with dual- and quad-core CPUs, the processors are manufactured using a 28nm process and incorporate HSPA+ (21Mbps) and TD-SCDMA radios. The new SoCs are optimized to provide good multimedia performance and long battery life, with support for dual cameras (up to 8MP rear and 5MP front), multiple SIMs (dual standby, dual active and tri standby), iZat location tech and Quick Charge 1.0. Qualcomm’s Adreno 302 GPU rounds up the spec list, making these chips well suited for devices running Android, Windows Phone and Firefox OS. The company’s expected to begin shipping these new processors (8×10 and 8×12) in late 2013. Full PR after the break.

It would appear that the SM-C101 has appeared with Samsung’s labels surrounding its simple drawings in the FCC here at the start of the weekend. This machine has recently been seen in places like Bluetooth certification and in codes for benchmarks, but here it becomes all-but-real. With quad-band GSM and the ability to connect with AT&T’s HSPA+, it presents a bit of an oddity: that means no 4G LTE.

What this device has most reliably been related to thus far is a yet-to-be-official “Galaxy S 4 Zoom”. This the “Zoom” would be a follow-up and replacement for the Samsung Galaxy Camera, a device that’s found quite a bit of popularity in the tech news reporting world due to its built-in Android abilities and ease in use. The facts that a Samsung event is coming up and the Galaxy Camera came out quite a few months ago at this point both aim directly at the idea that this is, indeed, the FCC first appearance of the device’s next-generation.

Inside you’ll also see NFC, Wi-fi connectivity, and Bluetooth 4.0. The machine has been rumored to take on a form factor closer to that of the GALAXY S 4 generation of devices, and it may even be a bit thinner than the Galaxy Camera, too! With the Samsung GALAXY S 4′s multiple camera abilities continuing to be a focus for its own sales, it’s not hard to imagine a similar push with a dedicated camera like this one.

It’s also been said that the Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom will work with a 4.3-inch qHD Super Amoled display, 8 GB of internal storage, and the ability to expand that storage by 64GB with its microSD card slot. This device has been rumored to be the first to usher in Samsung’s use of a 16-megapixel sensor on camera phones, as well, this suggesting that the machine will be more phone than camera – we shall see!

Are you using an iPhone 5 on T-Mobile? Are you in an area with re-farmed 1900MHz HSPA+ spectrum? Well rejoice! Some enterprising folks over at TmoNews have hacked Apple’s carrier update for T-Mobile to boost data speeds on the 1900MHz (PCS) HSPA+ band. Better yet, this tweak applies to both T-Mobile’s iPhone 5 and the AT&T / unlocked versions — no jailbreak required. While the official carrier update enabled LTE for the iPhone 5 on T-Mobile, it also decreased data speeds on re-farmed PCS HSPA+ spectrum for many users. The hacked file makes a number of adjustments: it enables Release 9 for dual-carrier HSPA+ and sets the band preference to “auto” from AWS. Follow the source link below for more details and step-by-step instructions.

Samsung’s Galaxy Mega 6.3 still doesn’t have an exact launch date, but it has made its way to the FCC. While the Mega was announced with LTE and HSPA+ radios, it appears that this version, model I9200, only has the latter onboard (I9205 is the LTE-equipped variant) — the Galaxy slightly-less Mega, it seems. It’s a safe bet that this particular model won’t officially make it stateside, but the reports seem to indicate that it’ll play nice with AT&T’s HSPA+ bands. In case you’re thinking of importing this 1.7Ghz device down the line, you can have a look at our hands-on here. Otherwise, you can have a look at the filing by heading to the source link.
