It's a very competitive segment the Lenovo K3 Note is forced to fight in. The large-screen device on a budget has turned into a lucrative niche for many manufacturers and solid offerings with increasingly better hardware have been put out by big-name Chinese manufacturers, not to mention the countless other makers most of us haven't heard of.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note was among the pioneers in the category and was recently inherited by the Redmi Note 2 with even more powerful innards. Meanwhile, the m2 note is Meizu's second iteration on the subject of the affordable phablet and it too poses philosophical questions as to what is the point of owning a flagship smartphone costing hundreds of dollars.

How Need for Speed Rivals Competes With Other Next-Gen Racers

Image
“The Need for Speed brand is reaching some of the largest audiences it’s ever reached in its history.” It’s a big year for racing games. At this year’s E3, every single press conference featured at least one driving game, and many seem to be boasting similar next-gen features. In a crowded category including Gran Turismo 6, Forza Motorsport 5, DriveClub and The Crew, EA showed off Need for Speed Rivals , the latest entry in the long-running series and the first title from EA's Ghost studio in Gothenburg. In an interview with IGN, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau explained why he thinks Rivals stands out from the pack, plus commented on whether he thinks Need for Speed will continue to be an annualized franchise. “ A lot of the driving games we go up against are simulations. The way that we think about it internally is, that’s like going to the symphony. Ours is about going to a Jay-Z show. “I think we do a really good job capturing the feel of driving and gett...

The Elephone "Vowney" has a QHD display and 3GB of RAM for $299 and it runs Windows 10 Mobile

Image
For a number of quite sound marketing reasons Windows-powered mobile phones rarely come near to the hardware in current Android powerhouses, but with the introduction of Windows 10 and sophisticated features like Continuum, this is set to quickly change. Higher-end offers, like the Acer Jade Primo are starting to appear and it naturally, it was a matter of time before China OEM's enter the market as well. The latest such offer comes courtesy of Elephone. Its "Vowney" model was first spotted a few months ago and if rumors are true, it does promise to dual-boot Android and Windows 10 on quite a capable hardware platform. There are actually two versions of the "Volney" (which, by the way is still a working title). One includes an octa-core Mediatek MT6795 SoC and boots only Android, while the other runs on a quad-core Intel CPU and can dual-boot both platforms. The first also has a 20.7MP camera and a 3800 mAh battery. In the Intel model, the came...

Samsung has detailed its October security patch

Image
Releasing proper, extensive and comprehensive changelogs seems to be a dying practice nowadays. Don't believe us? Well, just open up the Play Store or App Store page for a few of your favorite apps and enjoy informative statements such as "bugs fixes" and "added new features". The point is that some still take documentation seriously and this should frankly always be the case when it comes to security patches. In keeping with this spirit, Samsung has published a detailed rundown of its October security patch. If you are interested, definitely check it out at the source link. As for a quick rundown, it covers a total of 68 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE), some of which in the Android OS itself and others related to the company's own devices. An interesting highlight includes what is said to be a possible security weakness in the iris scanner matching algorithm for the Galaxy Note7. The latter could have potentially caused...

Image
Expand your storage and improve your load times with this hard drive in your PlayStation 4.  You probably know that you can change out the hard drive in your PlayStation 4 for a larger one.

It’s easy to do: all you need is a Phillips head screwdriver, a USB flash drive loaded with the latest PS4 firmware, and your new hard drive. But which hard drive should you choose? And does it matter if you get a mechanical hard drive, solid-state/hard-disk hybrid drive, or solid-state drive? Don’t worry—we’ve done the research and the testing, and we’ve got the answer. The Best PS4 Hard Drive To get the best mix of performance and price, buy a mechanical drive for your PS4. Our recommendation for a 1TB drive is the HGST Travelstar 7K1000.
