Rumored HTC & Verizon phablet surfaces at GLBenchmark

There have been many phablets (phone+tablet that have very large screens) that have been sold around the world, but Samsung basically conquers the phablet space with the Samsung Galaxy Note. LG has also attempted it with the Vu, but it is only available in Korea, and it is a very terrible rendition of a phablet. Rumors for a five inch HTC smartphone have been going around the internet for awhile, and this device looks like it will fit the bill. An entry for a HTC 6435LVW that surfaced at GLBenchmark.com seems to look a lot like the features you would find in a phablet. This device is supposed to have a 1.5GHZ dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich (probably with the Sense 4.0 or 4.1 skin), and the biggest feature of the device, a 1,794 x 1,080 display. The whole display could be 1,920 x 1,080 to fit the three onscreen Android buttons that are available in Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean. So far, HTC's Ice Cream Sandwich devices have had capacitive buttons that are not on the screen, but the new Sense 4.1 skin that is supposed to be released soon, could bring onscreen buttons. This device looks to have the specs of a premium smartphone, and it will probably be advertised as one. If HTC does release this phablet, it will have to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Note II that is supposed to be announced at IFA this year. We think that this device will be branded as a One series device, or it will be branded as an extra large version of the HTC One X. Want more information on HTC's rumored phablet?

A New Leaf

Hello everybody; it's been a while. With school, work, and my extracurricular activities, I haven't had as much time as I would have wanted to spend writing. In the two years since I've last posted, I was vice president, president, and varsity captain for my high school's Academic Decathlon team, went to the California state Academic Decathlon competition twice, was a student commissioner for my city's Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, a speech coach for Chinese students learning English, earned my Eagle Scout rank, and was accepted into my dream school, the University of California San Diego. With that in mind, I'm also about to graduate high school. I wasn't the speaker that my high school teachers were looking for as graduation speaker, but I thought it would be remiss if I did not say anything. My original speech would seem a bit out of context as an article, so this is a slightly abridged version. "Throughout my high school career, this...

Review: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

It's 7:15 at night. The sun has been below the horizon for quite some time, but it is not yet my bedtime. I go to the cashier and ask her if they are showing my movie. She gives me a puzzled look, checks the queue, and luckily finds the tickets I am looking for. After asking my age she assures me that I have nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to fear. I then pass through the doors and embark on a journey I have been waiting for more than a decade to begin. Back in 2004 Nickelodeon, Stephen Hillenburg, & company released the very first feature film of the SpongeBob Squarepants franchise: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie . The cartoon had been around for less than five years at the time, and many people did not expect much from its box office release. However, it did do very well for a television cartoon movie grossing more than $32 million opening weekend and receiving average scores of 66/100. This might sound mediocre compared to Oscar winning films, but this is incredib...

Hands-on with the Nokia Lumia 1020.

Smartphone cameras have drastically changed in the past few years. Most smartphone cameras have improved so much that most people use their smartphone as their main camera. Some companies have decided to make  cameras with fewer megapixels and better sensors , while most smartphone manufactures have improved their cameras by adding more megapixels. Nokia is one of these people and they have proven it even more with their latest smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 1020. Look and Feel Nokia's Lumia line of handsets has some of the most unique hardware on the market.

Nokia pioneered the unibody polycarbonate design, and is pretty close to perfecting it. Their Lumia line is full of beautiful, colorful, and unique polycarbonate bodies. The Lumia 1020 does not stray too far away from its siblings. The 1020 comes in three gorgeous colors; matte white, black, and yellow. We ...
