TalkAndroid_Weekly_Recap

We had another busy week at TalkAndroid so here’s a recap of all the top stories. This week was highlighted by a lot of deals for Black Friday, but probably the best deal is the Moto X for $350 off contract. That one will take place tomorrow, on Cyber Monday. A new camera API means Android might finally compete with iOS in camera quality. The latest smartwatch, the Qualcomm Toq, became available for pre-order and will start shipping tomorrow. Will it disappear in the night just like all it’s predecessors? Google Play Editions got a taste of KitKat and what on earth is the LG D830? It’s time to get caught up and get ready for another exciting week.

ZTE

Samsung’s release of the Galaxy Gear back in September certainly set off an avalanche of activity in the wearable device market despite the questions surrounding the device’s success or lack of success on the market. The latest company to get swept up by a desire to develop and sell a smartwatch is ZTE Corp. which has announced plans to produce a device during the first quarter of 2014 with sales to commence during the second quarter. According to an official with ZTE, Lu Qianhao, the head of their handset marketing strategy, ZTE will be producing a low cost smartwatch in an effort to appeal to a broader market. At this point, the focus is primarily on the Chinese market, but Mr. Lu does indicate the company hopes to eventually expand into the U.S. and European markets later in 2014. » Read the rest

We had another busy week at TalkAndroid so here’s a recap of all the top stories. Motorola had a banner week as they brought the AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon Moto Xs to KitKat, less then a month after the official announcement. HBO GO became the next app to be Chromecast compatible and the upcoming hackathon could mean a lot more apps to come. Is Samsung’s Galaxy Gear a flop and will they ditch fingerprint scanning in favor of eye scanning? It’s time to get caught up and get ready for another exciting week.

Massive ZTE Nubia Z7 leaks, shows a 6.44 inch screen

ZTE nubia Z7

If you’re in the market for an enormous phone like the Xperia Z Ultra, you’re about to have another option to look at. The ZTE Nubia Z7 has leaked, and it looks like it’s just as big as the Ultra, for better or worse. Rumored specs say this thing has a 6.44 inch screen, identical to what Sony’s mega-phablet offers. There will also reportedly be a slightly faster Snapdragon 800 CPU, a 1080p screen, 3 GB of RAM, a 13 megapixel rear camera, and 128 GB of internal storage and Android 4.4.

If you aren’t impressed by those specs in a smartphone, I seriously doubt any phone is going to make you happy. Obviously, the specs are still just a rumor at this point, so take them with a grain of salt, but there’s nothing wrong with keeping your hopes up.

ZTE announces the Nubia Z5s and Z5s Mini

ZTE Nubia Z5s

ZTE has announced a pair of two new phones, titled the Nubia Z5s and the Nubia Z5s Mini. The Z5s is the more high-end of the two, sporting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU under a 1080p display, complete with 2 GB of RAM, a 13 megapixel camera with OIS and an f/2.0 aperture, and Android 2.2 out of the box. It’s a far cry from a budget smartphone which traditionally comes from ZTE. You’ll have two options as far as internal storage and network connectivity; a 16 GB 3G model or a 32 GB LTE model. Naturally, the LTE model raises the price a bit, but it’s still only priced around $567. ZTE managed to pack in some beefy specs at that price point, so it should definitely give other manufacturers solid competition in the international market. » Read the rest

We had another busy week at TalkAndroid so here’s a recap of all the top stories. The Nexus 5 and KitKat continued to be the hot topic this week, but there were still a lot of other juicy tidbits. HTC’s One successor is starting to leak and Motorola will unveil the Moto G this week. Google launched Helpouts and we finally know what those mystery barges are all about. The newest version of Hangouts was released bringing SMS/MMS support, but don’t expect to see the new Google Experience launcher on anything other than a Nexus 5 for the time being. It’s time to get caught up and get ready for another exciting week.

Grand S Flex_1

The ZTE Grand S Flex, hinted back in June, and intro’d at CES 2013, has been announced for Europe and will sport a number of attractive features to give you that big phone feel while remaining in the mid-range class. Among the features you’ll find a 5-inch HD display and 1.2. GHz Qualcomm CPU. Throw in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and an 8MP camera along with a 2300 mAh battery and you have yourself a pretty good mid-range contender. Check out the full list of specs below and note that the device is already available in the Czech Republic, Spain and Slovakia with a projection to hit Germany very soon. The device is going for around $320 euros ($433 US) which is a bit steep for yesteryear’s specs but we’ll leave that up to you to decide for yourselves. Hit the break for the full list of specs, and feel free to let us know what you think about the device in the comments below.
