HTC’s new phablet rumored w/ QHD display, 810 CPU, UltraPixel cam

A Brazilian website claims to have the exclusive scoop on HTC‘s alleged phablet. It will reportedly be called the Hima Ace Plus and will run on the latest Qualcomm processor, a 2K resolution display, and more.

HTC Hima Ace Plus rumored specs:
5.5-inch QHD display @ 2560 x 1440 resolution
2.3GHz Anapdragon 810 processor
3GB RAM
32GB internal storage
20MP rear camera
4MP UltraPixel front camera
3000mAh battery

The loosely-translated wesbite also includes a “fingerprint reader” that can be activated even on standby mode. In addition, the alleged phablet could be expected to come on August or September. Do remember, though, to take it with a grain of salt until nothing is still official.

Seems like everyone’s hopping in on the QHD bandwagon these days. What do you think?

Adobe Lightroom Hits Google Play Store

Adobe has recently released the Android version of the Adobe Lightroom Mobile which was made available to iOS users since last year.

Adobe Lightroom Mobile for Android

The Android version of the app is pretty much the same as its iOS counterpart wherein users have the ability to view and edit images whether that be in JPEG format or RAW. It also features all of the tools and presets that one would need to turn your good pictures to an even better one, as well as the ability to sync your photos on Lightroom on your desktop.

Sadly, like the iOS-friendly version of the app, it will require users to subscribe to any of the available Adobe Creative Cloud service after the 30 days free trial has expired.

Moreover, Lightroom Mobile is a pretty demanding app which requires an Android handset running on a 1.7Ghz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, at least 8GB of internal storage, and it currently doesn’t support external memory card. Oh and DNG format, the lossless version of the picture that smartphone running on Android KitKat churn out, is also not supported.

The Adobe Lightroom Mobile for Android can be downloaded straight from Google Play Store or by heading over to the source link below.
