NuAns is back with Neo Reloaded, but it's Android-powered

Back in 2015, Japanese company NuAns showed off its Windows 10-powered Neo smartphone for the first time. It's selling point was the TWOTONE interchangeable covers for its back. The phone debuted at CES 2016, post which the company announced its plans for the device's global launch through a Kickstarter campaign.
The campaign, however, failed.
Then earlier this month, it came to light that the company is coming back with a new version of the phone. And indeed, they are back, with a phone named Neo Reloaded. The key difference here is that the company has ditched Windows 10 Mobile in favor of Android (Nougat).
Spec-wise, the new device is powered by Snapdragon 625 SoC, and sports a 5.2-inch full-HD display. RAM is 3GB, and a 3,450mAh battery is there to keep the lights on. The handset features a fingerprint sensor, and the interchangeable covers functionality is there as well.
It carries a JPY 49,800 price tag (around $440). As for availability, it's set to be launched on May 31, 2017.

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...

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 Best PS4 Hard Drive

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 a good thing, too, since just a few AAA game installations can have that 500GB drive feeling cramped. 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.

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...
