Globe Latest Windows 8 Offering

Globe Telecom updates its arsenal with Two (2) Windows 8 devices.

Entry Level, Huawei Ascend W1 for Plan 499 you get to experience Windows 8 on your finger tips. This cutie sports a 4.0-inch IPS Display at 480×800 pixel resolution with 233 ppi pixel density. Powered by 1.2GHz Dual-Core Krait Qualcomm MSM8230 Snapdragon processor, Adreno 305 GPU, 512MB RAM and 4GB Internal Storage (microSD expandable) sure are decent internals. It is also equipped with 5MP rear camera and VGA front. Oh by the way it has 1950 mAh battery (bigger than Nokia Lumia 520). So if your looking to try Windows 8, guess you will never go wrong with Globe-Microsoft-Huawei.

Another unit that surprised me when asking Globe Rewards Team on my renewal and they gladly advised me that this unit will be available and that it is the FIRST Windows 8 phone - The Samsung Activ S. It has 4.8 inches  Super AMOLED display at 720 x 1280 pixel resolution with 306 ppi pixel density and enhanced with Corning Gorilla Glass 2. Its innards 1.5 GHz Dual-Core Krait  Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon Processor, 16GB/32GB storage (16GB version i guess) and 1 GB RAM has bigger chance of getting an update. Equipped with 8MP Rear Snapper and 1.9 MP Front, pretty much at par with other phones in the market. It has a bigger battery too at 2300 mah. According to the agent (for which I will not mention) it is free at My Best Ever Super Plan 1799. Well if your up for a Windows 8 experience and (maybe) has a bigger chance to be updated then this might be for you.

Kudos to Globe for bringing variety in their handsets. This will benefit the consumer as more choices and options.

Now Available: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 in the Philippines

The New and Improved Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 line is finally here in the Philippines! It is now being sold from the 7 inch, 8 inch, and 10 inch WiFi / 3G Model.

The 7 inch Galaxy Tab 3 Model sports a 7 inch TFT display at 600 x 1024 resolution which translate to 169 ppi  pixel density. It has Android Jellybean 4.1 on board powered by Marvell PXA869 Processor complimented with 1GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage.

The 10 inch Tab 3 is also TFT but with addition of Full HD resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass protection. It is also the first Samsung device to use Intel Atom Z2560 clock. Don’t fret about the dual-core thing it trumps some of its quad-core competition. It also has 1GB RAM and 16GB storage.

Both the 7 inch and 10 inch are equipped with 3MP rear camera and 1.3MP front. Their Battery packs are at 4000 mAh for the 7 and 6800 mAh for the 10 incher.

The 8 incher Tab 3 in my opinion has tad better specs. It sports a Full HD 8 inch TFT display. The device runs Android Jellybean 4.2.2 on a 1.5GHz Dual Core Exynos Processor with a much more 1.5GB RAM and usual 16GB internal. It also has a better camera at 5MP rear snapper with 1.3MP front. Other techsites who reviewed the unit praise on its lightness at only 314g. Oh it only packs a 4450 mAh battery.

In terms of connectivity, almost have the same – Wifi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 3, USB (MHL and OTG functions), ports, and sensors. The 3G versions of the units at HSPA+ will surely provide a better data connectivity. You will also have the special features as the multi-view, kies and apps that really uniquely with the Samsung Brand.

Overall, the new iterations of the Galaxy Tab line offers the best experience at very competitive prices. WiFi only and 3G variants are now available and LTE version will soon follow in the coming months.

Huawei Ascend P6: World's Slimmest Smartphone...

Weighing at 120 grams, Huawei slimmest dual sim smartphone at 6.18 mm, The Huawei Ascend P6!!! Let get ready to rumble!!! hahaha always wanted to post that...

In the looks department its an anorexic iPhone 5. Slim sports a 4.7-inch 720p in-cell LCD (accommodates on-screen Android buttons) powered by Huawei very own K3V2 chipset quad-core at 1.5GHz Cortex-A9 processor coupled with 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. The device houses 8MP BSI Rear Camera F2.0 and  capable of 1080p video recording as well as a 5MP Front. It is not LTE but it has HSPA as well as Wifi, Bluetooth, and FM Radio. It runs on Android 4.2.2 enhanced with Huawei's Emotion UI.

Huawei did a great job. Many would argue its copycat qualities with the iPhone but in my opinion copying is also a form of innovation. Beside let the lawyers handle that hahaha. I must say the Huawei Ascend P6 is not just slimmest but to say the "sexiest smartphone" (you should use sexy than slim - marketing advice.) hehehe
