Oppo Find 5 specs and price released

December 6, 2012December 6, 2012 Louie Diangson Leave a comment

A spec sheet and price of the Oppo Find 5 has just been released, confirming an Android smartphone with a 5-inch display that packs 441 ppi.

Back in September, we reported that Oppo is working on a 5-inch smartphone with a resolution of 1080 x 1920, calculating to a whopping 441 pixels per inch. That’s the same display quality as the HTC Droid DNA. Under the hood is a Qualcomm APQ8064 S4 Pro quad-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz backed up by 2GB of RAM. It has 16GB of internal storage, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, DLNA, NFC, a 2,500mAh battery, and runs Android 4.1.2 Jellybean out of the box. What’s funny though is it doesn’t mention anything about its camera. But judging from its specs we could at least expect an 8 megapixel rear shooter with LED flash and a 2 megapixel front.

Oppo Find 5 specs:
5″ Full HD (1080 x 1920) @441 ppi
Corning Gorilla Glass 2
16GB internal storage
Qualcomm APQ8064 S4 Pro quad-core (1.5GHz)
2GB RAM
WiFi a/b/g/n
WiFi Direct
Bluetooth
NFC
GPS
DLNA
2500mAh battery

The Oppo Find 5 carries a price tag of $499 (around Php20,400) unlocked and contract-free on its US website. Let’s hope that Oppo (or someone) makes it available locally after they launch in China on December 12.

Sony Xperia E and E Dual announced

December 6, 2012December 6, 2012 Bob Freking Leave a comment

Sony has been releasing a lot of Xperia phones lately; most of them are targeted at different people. Just now, Sony announces the Xperia E and the Xperia E Dual – another affordable entry for the market.

There will be two variants. The Xperia E will feature a single SIM while a dual SIM variant, the Xperia E dual, will also be available. The device will be available in black, white and pink.

The Xperia E packs a 3.5-inch 320 x 480 display, 4 GB internal memory (expandable through micro SD), a 3.15 megapixel camera and a 1 GHz processor.

One of the features that the Xperia E boasts is HD Voice, which is expected to give you clear call qualities and audio recordings. Above all of that, the phone will be running on Android 4.1 Jellybean.

We have no details on the pricing, yet it is believed that this will be very competitive with the rest of the affordable phones – not only with Android phones, but also with phones like the Nokia Lumia 620.

If you ever had a problem with Android running on quite low specs, Project Butter might give you a different impression with the Xperia E – though that remains yet to be seen.

WP8 ported to HTC HD2

December 4, 2012December 4, 2012 Ronnie Bulaong Leave a comment

That’s right! The folks from DFT (Dark Force Team) has successfully installed Microsoft’s latest mobile platform to HTC’s 3-year old Windows Phone handset as seen on their blog (in Chinese).

DFT, as some of you may know, isn’t exactly new to this business of porting other OS to this aging handset. They team actually ported a handful of Windows Phone OS to the HTC HD2 already, as well as Android. This hack makes us wonder why pre-WP8 handsets (i.e Lumia 900, HTC Titan etc.) cannot be updated to the latest OS because of “hardware limitations” while a veteran phone seems to be handling it just fine.

Aside from few images just like the one above, little is actually known about this mod. We’re expecting that the team will shed some light on their brilliant work in the near future. One thing’s for sure though, the HTC HD2 is one die-hard Windows Phone handset!

Windows Phone 7.8 previewed on the Lumia 900

December 4, 2012December 4, 2012 Louie Diangson Leave a comment

The Windows Phone 7.8 update for old WP devices is set to arrive in early 2013 but a video has already surfaced showing the update running on the Nokia Lumia 900.

The title of the video is “WP 7.8 update for Lumia 900 – quick preview“, and by quick preview it meant 37 seconds of hands-on. It doesn’t show much detail but you’ll notice resizable live tiles, a new Xbox icon, and a fluid UI navigation.

Expected WP 7.8 features include a new boot, lock and home screens, more color themes, Bluetooth file sharing, IE improvements, Xbox Smart Glass, and lots of OS fixes. The WP 7.8 OS on the Lumia 900 is not the final version so expect some things to change until its official launch.
