Without fanfare, the smartphone Galaxy Star Trios, the Galaxy line has reached many e-commerce sites, such as Magazine Luiza, Ponto Frio and Walmart, priced at $ 429.

Huawei Ascend Mate: analysis to a giant Android (video) - Telemoveis.com

Huawei Ascend Mate: smartphone or tablet? That is the question! With 6.1 inches in size, doubts on this issue are more than many

gsm red arrow

The Huawei Ascend Mate is a 6.1-inch phablet that combines a good IPS screen with HD resolution with good technical specifications and competitive prices for the market segment in which it competes: while it is possible to find this giant for prices that are around € 365 in popular retail chains like Fnac the Ascend Mate is available for € 500.

design Huawei Ascend Mate

is big, even bigger than the Galaxy S4 or the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. In terms of construction, however, can be quite elegant for a player his size, and has a good build quality. In fact, and perhaps uniquely, the fact that the back being in a plastic device 6 inches above the most likely only has to favor, as perhaps more rigid materials could further influence their weight. On top of Ascend Mate, and similar devices from different ranges of high, we find robust umaentrada SIM card, which requires a small switch to open. At his side we find a microSD card slot with support for memory expansion up to 32 GB. The screen, a giant 6.1-inch, is sturdy and the glass is based on Gorilla Glass.

There is an element able to disappoint us a bit, even taking into account the full technical specifications associated with its relatively low price, in terms of actually prevents grievance: the resolution of your screen, What is HD (1280 x 720), is not as high as that, or at least has a pixel density merely reasonable. Continues to be good enough to ensure a good surfing experience and consumption of multimedia content in HD.

Huawei Ascend Mate: analysis to a giant Android (video)

Software and Hardware

Kill The Huawei Ascend runs Android 4.1 and is upgradeable to 4.2, both versions being quite acceptable operating system. Regarding the user interface, and the similarity of the interface Ascend G510, the Emotion UI boils down to simplicity and, perhaps, do remember iOS in terms of structure and simplicity. Looks pretty nice compared to UI Ascend Mate is that it reveals the care – and consciousness – that Huawei had to design a screen so big, prompting the company to adapt some features to allow its implementation with only one hand. The keyboard, for example, is capable of displaying a reduced size to eliminate the need to use more than one hand. Yet the exceptional size of this device is not always militates in his favor.

In terms of hardware we have a very interesting machine: the processor is 1.5 GHz quad-core (Cortex A9), has 2 GB of RAM, 5 GB of storage space which can be extended via Expandable Memory (microSD) and 4050 mAh battery. The performance and battery consumption were relatively reasonable.

In terms of digital camera, the Ascend Mate includes 8 MP with autofocus and flash, and various image options and a good range of options available to the user. The image quality on the other hand, is softer than full of contrasts, and although some would enjoy pictures so we thought we could have been better. This means that in low light conditions or busy, the performance of the camera may leave something to be desired. These aspects are noticeable especially after spending the photos to the computer. The front camera is 1 MP and can record images in high definition (720p).

conclusions about the Huawei Ascend Mate

Within the category in which it competes, and especially given its price-quality ratio, the Huawei Ascend Mate is a good device. The giant 6.1-inch screen does not display the highest resolution on the market, but it lets you enjoy a high-definition experience, comes equipped with a quad-core processor and know how to use smart energy consumption, which means its only active four cores when you really need them, it can run both applications as smartphone tablet, although this second category presents its formatting is sometimes rough.

One aspect of this phablet uncomfortable, besides its gigantism, is that sometimes overheat too. This becomes particularly troublesome if we receive a call however: beyond habituation we need to be able to synchronize the ear with the handset, excessive heat simply becomes uncomfortable. Its size also run the risk of calling upon us some unnecessary attention, sometimes humorous.

Overall, however, can associate optimal technical specifications to a very competitive price. We were very pleased with this product and recommend it to lovers of giant screens that spend a lot of time surfing the web or consume media while moving.

Review: Free, FIFA 14 for Android and iOS is not worth the download - Digital Look

There is a trend in today’s gaming market trying to offer free games to consumers. It would be very nice, if not for the fact that the games are not actually free. The business model, dubbed “freemium”, brings extremely limited versions of games, almost “unplayable”, intending to allow the user to download freely, but force him to pay if he wants to do anything different in the game . It is the case of FIFA 14 for Android and iOS.

After download for free, you are surprised by a nice animation and the phrase “EA Sports, it’s in the game.” You soon feel ready to have an experience worthy of Fifa, but it is not what happens. Frustration is what follows.

First of all, to participate in a “quick game”, you need to pay. The value of U.S. $ 10 is not too high for a game like this, but it could soon be charged to download the app, as it’s almost impossible to do anything within the game.

 Play This way, you can not choose with which teams play, not his opponents. If you want to play, you must respect the limits of the “game of the week” which is a list of predefined confrontes by EA. If you want to choose the teams that will play in the game, you can play only penalty disputes.

The only way the game is actually released Ultimate Team, a kind of card game with real football players. The format is interesting for those interested, although the appeal is restricted by bureaucratising a little game. Many prefer to just play. The reason being is that EA released invoice much money on microtransactions within this game mode.

It does not bother as much as the gameplay of FIFA for phones and tablets. There is a reason why games like Angry Birds, Cut The Rope and Fruit Ninja are successful: they were made thinking on touch screens. It is hard to imagine any of these games having success in other media. The case of FIFA 14 is the exact opposite, the game is made to play with a joystick in hand. When trying to use it in touchscreen mode often your hand covers the screen, preventing the full view of the field, something essential for a football game.

The game even responds well to commands from the player, but they are just so intuitive that you will probably grieve enough to understand them. And the game knows that failure, so that the tutorials of how to accomplish some task are always popping up on the screen.

It is the compliment to the graphics, which obviously does not make front version for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 , much less the new generation of consoles, but show that more and more mobile platforms are approaching a level of power that allows for games increasingly heavy and convoluted. In a powerful smartphone, the animations are extremely fluid.

Android Device Manager now allows you to change password ... - Tecmundo

 Android Device Manager now lets you switch the phone unlock password (Image Source: Playback / Google)

In early August, Google launched Android Device Manager, a service that allows tracking lost phones and taking emergency actions like deleting all sensitive data from the device and the user would not want that third parties had access.

Now, the service has been updated with two new features which allow less drastic solutions to the situation: remote lock your smartphone or tablet using a numeric password (PIN) and the possibility to change this PIN online.

If the device owner has already configured for facial recognition unlocking method or another, Android Device Manager will endorse this configuration with the new password configured online. Also, when setting the new PIN, the screen of the gadget is lost or stolen immediately deletes the request and passes the new password to be unlocked.

smartphone or tablet must be connected to the Internet to receive this command, either via WiFi or 3G/4G. However, if the device is disconnected during the password change by Android Device Manager, the configuration becomes effective as soon as it comes online.
