MWC 2012: Asus Transformer Pad Infinity and 300 series hands-on
The Padfone isn’t the only thing that Asus is showing at Mobile World Congress. The company has in fact just renamed all its tablets. Gone is the “Eee” moniker – every Asus slate is now called Transformer Pad. What comes after those words is what identifies each individual product. So, for example, we have the [...]
Liquipel makes your existing phone waterproof for $59
One of the coolest things being showcased at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is definitely Liquipel. In short, Liquipel makes your phone (or iPod shuffle) waterproof. The tech can be contracted by phone makers to deploy on a massive scale, but at the same time it’s also a consumer service. It is, in [...]
Panasonic Eluga and Eluga Power hands-on videos and photos at MWC 2012
The Panasonic Eluga smartphone has been teased by the Japanese company for about two months now. It finally received that name earlier this month, and now it looks set to take the world by storm (or at least Europe). We got hold of the Eluga at Panasonic’s booth at Mobile World Congress and a photo [...]
MWC 2012 video: Hands-on with the Asus Padfone – the Android phone, tablet, and netbook all-in-one
One of the (very) few things that managed to impress me at this year’s Mobile World Congress is the Asus Padfone. Sure, it’s not new. In fact the concept is almost one year old and still hasn’t shipped. But in a way I’m glad that Asus decided to wait one year and do this right. [...]
MWC 2012: Hands-on with the HTC One V
Yesterday we brought you hands-on images and videos with two of HTC’s three new One series Android smartphones. The third one that was announced on Sunday, the One V (which incidentally is also the most affordable of the bunch) though was nowhere to be found at HTC’s booth here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. [...]
Acer CloudMobile hands-on video and pictures (shot at MWC 2012)
The Acer CloudMobile is the Taiwanese company’s Android related gamble for this year. Acer has been doing smartphones for a few years now (yes, even Android devices), but there’s a reason you probably didn’t know that already. Let’s just say that Acer’s offerings haven’t been very compelling in the past. Yet the company is sure [...]
Quad-core ZTE Era with Android 4.0 and cheap ZTE Orbit with WP Tango announced, we go hands-on
Not content with the prospect of its fellow Chinese company Huawei stealing the show at MWC, ZTE has also announced a couple of interesting smartphones today. The quad-core ZTE Era runs Android, and the ZTE Orbit is a Windows Phone, one of the first to run Microsoft’s upcoming Tango release of its mobile operating system. [...]
Quad-core Huawei MediaPad 10 FHD officially announced, we have even more hands-on images
Yesterday Huawei officially unveiled the Ascend D series smartphones, its highest-end offerings in that space. But it also gave us a quick glimpse at its newest Android tablet – the MediaPad 10. And today the Chinese company wasted no time and announced the tablet as well. Thankfully, it’s not called MediaPad 10 Full HD as [...]

The newly sans Ericsson Sony Mobile Communications held a press event yesterday on the eve of Mobile World Congress here in Barcelona, and presented two new Xperia-branded Android smartphones, the Xperia P and Xperia U. We’ve already brought you all the official details, and now it’s time for the complimentary hands-on post. The Xperia P [...]
MWC 2012: Hands-on with the Huawei Ascend G300, a new affordable Android smartphone
Sure, the Ascend D quad/D quad XL and D1 stole the show yesterday, and we’ll probably be talking about these devices for a long time to come. But those aren’t the only new smartphones that Huawei brought to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. One intriguing device is the Ascend G300, part of the company’s new [...]
HTC One X and One S hands-on video and images from MWC 2012
As promised yesterday, we’re back with hands-on photos and videos showing HTC’s new high-end Android smartphones, the quad-core One X and the dual-core One S. HTC did also announce a third member in its new One family yesterday, the One V, but unfortunately it’s not on display at Mobile World Congress. Still, the software experience [...]
MWC 2012: Hands-on with the Huawei Ascend D quad and MediaPad 10 Full HD
Today was Huawei’s big announcement here in Barcelona, on the eve of Mobile World Congress. The Chinese company is certainly hopeful about its future in the smartphone space, and it has made some bold claims about its new D series superphone, the Ascend D quad. Best in the world or not, the D quad (if [...]
HTC announces the One X, One S, and One V Android smartphones with ICS and Sense 4
Just as expected, and as we’ve already told you several times that it would, HTC has unveiled a trio of smartphones earlier today in Barcelona, which it’s calling the HTC One series. Although Mobile World Congress only starts tomorrow, HTC (alongside Huawei and Sony) wanted to be among the first to show us the new [...]
