Oppo A57 gets announced in China with 13 MP selfie camera

While it still hasn't decided whether the high-end Find 9 will ever be a real thing, Oppo is on the other hand constantly launching new midrangers. Case in point: the new Oppo A57, just unveiled for the Chinese market.
The smartphone comes with that unmistakable Oppo look, dressed in a gold or rose gold all-metal casing, with 2.5D curved glass on top of its 5.2-inch 720p touchscreen. Its main camera is a 13 MP unit with f/2.2 aperture, phase detection autofocus and a LED flash, while taking care of selfies is a 16 MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture and 1.12nm pixels.
It's powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 chipset, which has a 1.4 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 processor and the Adreno 505 GPU. It's aided by 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. The A57 has LTE support and a 2,900 mAh battery. It runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow underneath Oppo's ColorOS 3.0. Its dimensions are 149.1 x 72.9 x 7.65 mm, and it weighs 147g.
It will become available in China on December 12 for CNY 1,599, which right now means $231 or €218. As usual with Oppo products, it's unclear if the A57 will ever officially be sold elsewhere.

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...

Samsung Gear Fit flexes silicon muscles in a tear down

Image
The iFixit team has been all over Samsung’s latest offerings in both the smartphone and wearable departments. The latest gadget to pay their tool shop a visit is the Gear Fit. The Gear Fit is easily removable from its wristband with a simple push and this enables wristband makers to offer a wide variety of options. As you’d expect in a device that’s so small, everything is soldered on the main chip with only the display, battery and shell being stand alone parts. There’s 16MB of flash memory located next to the 32-bit 180MHz ARM Cortex CPU. Interestingly, the Broadcom dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0+HS chip packs an FM receiver on it. Overall, iFixit rates the repairability of the Gear is 6 out of 10, which isn’t optimal, but it’s okay. You can replace the battery of the Gear Fit without having to go to a Samsung service representative to do so, but you have to have at least some skills with the tools. The Gear Fit is in stock now over at major online retai...
