Samsung ATIV S Neo

Samsung ATIV S Neo

The Samsung ATIV S Neo is a variant of the Samsung ATIV S. Early preview shots of the handset suggest a near identical design, but with some minor materials and colour variations from the ATIV S global variant. The specifications suggest some minor internal changes, and the cellular radio will be changed to support Sprint's bands and technology. The device includes international voice and data capabilities, suggesting WCDMA and potentially GSM radios will be included in addition to the LTE and CDMA radios. Kevin Packingham, Samsung Mobile chief product officer, said: “Samsung is committed to offering smartphones across a variety of platforms and the rich Windows Phone 8 experience on the ATIV S Neo is a testament to this effort. The ATIV S Neo makes it easy to stay in-the-know while connecting with friends, family and colleagues, through new sharing features and powerful productivity applications.” Key features of the Samsung ATI S Neo include a 4.8 inch display (HD - 720 x 1280 resolution), 8 megapixel camera, 1.4GHz dual-core processors, 1 GB of RAM, microSD card slot, and 2,800 mAH battery. The device will ship with a number of Samsung exclusive apps, including the recently released ATIV Beam, a camera app with a Beauty mode (smoother looking skin in headshots), Manga Camera (turn friends and family into cartoons), and Samsung's standard Photo Editor app. The Samsung ATI S Neo, which will go on sale later this summer, will be available for $149.99 with a two year contract commitment, after a $50 mail-in rebate.

Sony Xperia Z Tablet

  Sony Xperia Z Tablet

The Sony Xperia Tablet Z has some serious 'wow' factor. While recently released smartphones and tablets have mostly tinkered around the edges,with incremental improvements to hardware, the Xperia Z tablet is here to shake things up. There’s plenty to like about the Xperia tablet’s design: an impressively slim 6.9mm device which is not only thinner than other 10” inch tablets but also puts the iPhone 5 to shame. Equally impressive is the fact that Sony has managed to fit all the necessary ports and battery without putting on much weight. The water and dustproof device weighs in at just 495 grams. That’s 24 per cent lighter than the latest iPad and 18 per cent lighter than a Google Nexus 10. This is a formidable offering from Sony, but then again it has to be, because the Xperia tablet goes into battle against heavyweight competition like Google and Apple.
