Second-tier TV manufacturer Hisense is on hand at IFA 2013 and it’s showing off its massive 110-inch 4K LED backlit TV. This appears to be the same TV that was shown off at CES 2013 earlier this year. Hisense isn’t making that big a deal out of the TV and possibly more interesting than the […]
There are always a few treats to be had at Vodafone’s IFA booth. This year, the company was showing off the successor to the Smart Tab II — a device we happened to first glimpse at last year’s event. The Lenovo-designed Vodafone Smart Tab III comes in two flavors, a 1280 x 800 10-inch model and a 1024 x 600 seven-inch version. Both devices are running Android 4.2.2, with promised upgrades to Kit Kat when the time comes. The models we saw here in Berlin were also running Bild, a skin that aims to make app discovery easier from within the OS itself, thanks in part to its clustering together titles in categories like Social and Travel — of course, that all makes things a bit tougher to find the first time you boot things up. We did manage to locate the settings panel eventually, though.
There’s a 1.2GHz processor inside of both, along with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage, which is expandable via a microSD slot. Both slates also feature front and rear facing cameras, the latter of which clocks in at five megapixels. Both are pretty solidly designed, with fairly slim profiles. The seven-incher has a front-facing speaker grille and the 10-inch version has two on the top of its textured backing. Also, in spite of Lenovo’s input, the company hasn’t branded either device at all. Instead, there’s a single Vodafone logo smack dab in the center of both tablets’ backs. %Gallery-slideshow83279%

Not everyone needs a giant, higher-end smartphone like the One Touch Hero — many can get by with just the basics. For those users, Alcatel has unveiled four One Touch Pop models with smaller screens and entry-level performance. The Android 4.2-based range begins with the Pop C1, a starter phone with a 3.5-inch screen, a dual-core 1GHz processor and sprightly color options like neon green and pink. Need more? The Pop C3 jumps to a 4-inch screen and a dual-core 1.3GHz chip; the Pop C5 steps up to a 4.5-inch screen, and the Pop C7 carries both a 5-inch display as well as a quad-core 1.3GHz processor. If you’re interested, you can pick up the C1 or C3 as soon as October. The C5 ships in November, while the C7 arrives sometime during the last quarter of the year. %Gallery-slideshow79376%

Granted, the picture we see above us would’ve been much more intriguing a couple days ago, prior to Samsung Unpacked, but it shows the Samsung SM-V700 (aka Galaxy Gear) getting the official stamp of approval by the FCC, which means it’s one step closer to store shelves. The docs don’t give us any juicy tidbits that we didn’t already know — essentially, the device has Bluetooth and not much else in the way of wireless connectivity — but this doesn’t come as a surprise for an already-announced gadget. Still, the Galaxy Gear’s appearance in the FCC is at least a clear indication that things are going in the right direction, and folks in the US may see it closer to the September 25th launch date than they initially feared.
