Mysterious Asus TF300T Caught On Camera

Blurrycam is alive and well and currently residing in China where it has managed to capture what could be the latest offering from Android tablet supremo’s, Asus.

Whilst Samsung’s Galaxy Tab and Motorola’s Xoom ranges are the consensus flagship Android tablets, it’s clear that the guys over at Asus are intent on staking their claim for the throne. Asus’ arrival to the market was more than just a little impressive, with the original TF101 Transformer managing to combine excellent reviews with impressive sales. Fast forward a year and the Transformer Prime has certainly carried on the momentum gathering universal acclaim throughout tech circles. With the impending PadFone and this new mystery device, it’s clear that Asus have no intention on resting on their laurels.

The design is classic Asus and consistent with previous models, the only real differentiator is the striking red rear which is certain to divide opinions. There is no information on tech specs at this time however rest assured we’ll let you know as soon as we get further details.

It’s difficult at this time to judge the authenticity of these photos. Genuine or not, we’re definitely excited to see what Asus has up their sleeves for 2012.

Refreshed Galaxy Nexus Plus with faster CPU and improved camera on the way?

Could Google be working on a slightly updated version of the Galaxy Nexus? It wouldn’t be the first time a manufacturer refreshed a device just months after the initial release. A recent benchmark score spotted on the Nenamark site shows a Galaxy Nexus featuring a PowerVR SGX544 graphics processor.

The faster SGX544 GPU is included with Texas Instruments’ upcoming OMAP4470 processor. This is the successor to the original OMAP4460 found in the Galaxy Nexus, that includes the older SGX540 GPU.

While it’s true this result could have been spoofed, we have seen evidence of a Galaxy Nexus with a different processor speed before in a leaked ad for Sprint. Samsung underclocked the 1.5 GHz OMAP4460 to run at 1.2 GHz in the Galaxy Nexus, so it’s possible they could underclock the 1.8 GHz OMAP4470 to run at speeds around 1.5 GHz.

Nenamark2 benchmark: OMAP4460 on the left, OMAP4470 on the right.

Even though the two processors feature very similar model numbers, the OMAP4470 is advertised as offering 2.5x the graphics performance of the OMAP4430. We recently saw the OMAP4470 in action at CES, and witnessed a Nenamark2 score that was around 70% faster than the previous generation.

The Sprint version of the Galaxy Nexus is coming soon, but we still don’t know much about the official specs. Rumors have suggested it could feature an improved 8 MP camera (compared to 5 MP of the original), so it’s possible that Samsung and Google could update the processor as well if a faster one is available in time.

I’m sure a few owners of the original Galaxy Nexus will complain, but I’m happy to see a Galaxy Nexus refresh in the coming months, if these rumors turn out to be true.

Control your Digital Camera with your Android Phone

Posted Saturday, January 14th, 2012 at 1:15 pm by Antonio Wells Comments

Watch on Mobile

Check out how you can control a smart camera using a smartphone. Very convenient if you’re taking one of those group shots you want everyone to be in without using the camera timer feature and running back and forth to check the shot. Even cooler, after you snap the photo you can preview it on the phone versus everyone trampling towards the camera setup to peek. The technology behind this is called DLNA, Samsung brands it AllShare. Whereas you can share content from device to TV or device to device over Wi-Fi.
