Canada’s WIND Mobile launches Huawei Ascend Mate

Canada’s WIND Mobile is expanding its portfolio of phablets with the addition of Huawei Ascend Mate.
The Chinese’s company device was originally announced at this year’s CES when we had a few brief moments to check it out. Then, after getting all the attention in January, not many users cared about this phablet. The reason was simple – Huawei had hard time making sure its new baby can be bought from stores and operators all around the world.
As I’m writing this, the Ascend Mate is everything but widely distributed In the UK, users can get it from Vodafone; we’re not sure about other parts of the world, but we know it’s not available in the U.S.
Specs wise, Huawei’s phablet rocks a 6.1-inch 720p HD screen, 1.5GHz quad-core K3V2 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, 8-megapixel camera on the back, and a powerful 4050mAh battery. Wind Mobile sells it for $99 with a contract or for $399 sans any strings attached.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

The front cam features an ultra-wide 88-degree 24 mm BSI sensor of 2 MP resolution and 1080p video recording. Speaking of which the Acer Liquid S2 can capture 4K UHD (Ultra HD) video along with high-framerate Full HD (60 fps) and slow motion video.

LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom launches across Europe



Samsung announced the Galaxy S4 Zoom back in June and unleashed its 3G version worldwide in July. It's just now though Samsung is releasing the LTE-capable version of the S4 Zoom.
The LTE Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom is completely identical with the already available version but as you probably guessed adds support for 4G networks. The gadget will be available on various EU markets and carriers very soon, though there is no official pricing just yet.

We already spend some quality time with the SM-C101 non-LTE model and you can read all about our encounter right here.
In case you need a refresh, the Galaxy S4 Zoom is basically a hybrid between Galaxy S4 mini and a digicam with its 4.3" qHD screen and 16MP OIS camera with 10x optical zoom at the back.
