It is so big, with so many vendors, and so many products being shown off, that it is impossible to see everything even if you are focused only on one section of it (we completely ignore all of the home theater equipment, automotive, TVs, cameras, and non-mobile PCs). With that in mind, we wanted to tell you about one very interesting prototype device that fell through the cracks: the dual-screen YotaPhone...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:19:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Through-the-CES-cracks-the-eInkLCD-dual-screen-YotaPhone_id38866/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Polaroid M10 hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Polaroid-M10-hands-on_id38552</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38552-thumb/Polaroid-M10-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Design-wise, it tries to sprinkle a shaving of premium, but it doesn’t take us long to know that it’s sporting a plastic body that’s emulating the look of a metal one. So yeah, the design is hardly a head turner in this day and age. Powering this fuller offering is a quad-core Cortex A7 processor with 1GB of RAM, which seems sufficient enough to handle...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Thu, 17 Jan 2013 01:39:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Polaroid-M10-hands-on_id38552/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Sony Xperia Z HDR video compilation: less burn, more detail</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-Xperia-Z-HDR-video-compilation-less-burn-more-detail_id38773</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38773-thumb/Sony-Xperia-Z-HDR-video-compilation-less-burn-more-detail.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />The HDR video option is hardwired with the new Exmor RS sensor of Sony, and it merges footage with different exposure values on the fly to record the most distinctive scenes in tricky dynamic range situations - when shooting against a sunlit window, for instance, or with bright objects near darker ones in the frame, for example, where the conventional smartphone capture tends to overexpose those areas...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jan 2013 05:59:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-Xperia-Z-HDR-video-compilation-less-burn-more-detail_id38773/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Runbo presents affordable, yet tough Android smartphones at CES</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Runbo-presents-affordable-yet-tough-Android-smartphones-at-CES_id38766</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38766-thumb/Runbo-presents-affordable-yet-tough-Android-smartphones-at-CES.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />The name Runbo doesn't ring any bells, does it? That's because behind it is a Chinese company focused on making phones you can't really classify as high-end. Yet several of its offerings were present at CES and among them were these two quite peculiar Android smartphones. As you can probably tell by the way they look, the Runbo X3 and Runbo X5 smartphones are built tough...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jan 2013 03:22:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Runbo-presents-affordable-yet-tough-Android-smartphones-at-CES_id38766/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Razer Edge hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Razer-Edge-hands-on_id38648</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38648-thumb/Razer-Edge-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Quickly picking up this thing, we have to admit that folks over at Razer didn’t care for something that's thin and light. Rather, it’s undoubtedly the clunkiest thing we’ve ever seen! That’s not a good thing per se, since it’s both heavy and ugly looking. Sure, it’s able to play a myriad of games...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:17:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Razer-Edge-hands-on_id38648/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>NVIDIA Shield first look</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/NVIDIA-Shield-first-look_id38647</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38647-thumb/NVIDIA-Shield-first-look.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />To tell you the truth, the NVIDIA Shield looks like an XBOX 360 controller with a giant slab of a display thrown in there. Frankly, it’s a cool idea to know that it’s a standalone system on its own, but even better is the fact that you can connect it to any high-def television with a quick HDMI...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jan 2013 02:27:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/NVIDIA-Shield-first-look_id38647/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Huawei G520 will be a quad-core smartphone for China at only $225</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Huawei-G520-will-be-a-quad-core-smartphone-for-China-at-only-225_id38709</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38709-thumb/Huawei-G520-will-be-a-quad-core-smartphone-for-China-at-only-225.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />We've seen a few high-powered Android handsets that are going to be on the market in China this year, including a couple from Lenovo, but there is an interesting new entry in the mix with the Huawei G520. It's not exactly the highest-powered smartphone, but it will have one impressive feature: the price, which will be just $225 for the quad-core smartphone...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2013 16:45:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Huawei-G520-will-be-a-quad-core-smartphone-for-China-at-only-225_id38709/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>CES 2013: a potpourri of smartphone and tablet accessories</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/CES-2013-a-potpourri-of-smartphone-and-tablet-accessories_id38680</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38680-thumb/CES-2013-a-potpourri-of-smartphone-and-tablet-accessories.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />We saw more than a few new smartphones, tablets, and Android-powered toasters on display at CES 2013. Some of them we liked, others we weren't so crazy about. But in addition to all of these devices, plenty of manufacturers attending the show had brought all sorts of accessories as well, and we've picked some of the more interesting of them just for you, guys...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2013 05:30:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/CES-2013-a-potpourri-of-smartphone-and-tablet-accessories_id38680/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Tegra 4 vs Snapdragon 800: who will be the dominant player on the chipset market this year</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Tegra-4-vs-Snapdragon-800-who-will-be-the-dominant-player-on-the-chipset-market-this-year_id38570</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38570-thumb/Tegra-4-vs-Snapdragon-800-who-will-be-the-dominant-player-on-the-chipset-market-this-year.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />CES 2013 was the show of mobile chipsets. First, it was Nvidia that announced its next-gen processor, the Tegra 4, followed by Qualcomm and its new Snapdragon line. Finally, Samsung joined the party with its Exynos 5 Octa, but all in all we're more concerned with the Tegra 4 and Snapdragon 800, as those end up used by multiple manufacturers and in multiple phones, whereas Samsung's Exynos is mostly reserved for Samsung's own high-end devices...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2013 04:15:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Tegra-4-vs-Snapdragon-800-who-will-be-the-dominant-player-on-the-chipset-market-this-year_id38570/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Panasonic ToughPad FZ-A1 hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Panasonic-ToughPad-FZ-A1-hands-on_id38645</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38645-thumb/Panasonic-ToughPad-FZ-A1-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Even though we can’t get the monstrous size of the tablet from our mind, it doesn’t help that it’s encased by this bar code scanner contraption, which will prove to be useful for some people, but when we’re looking at it for the first time, it basically makes the tablet appear even more...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:58:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Panasonic-ToughPad-FZ-A1-hands-on_id38645/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Exynos chip out, Broadcom is in for the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus and Grand Duos</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Exynos-chip-out-Broadcom-is-in-for-the-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Plus-and-Grand-Duos_id38669</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38669-thumb/Exynos-chip-out-Broadcom-is-in-for-the-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Plus-and-Grand-Duos.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />The S II Plus is actually utilizing Broadcom processor inside, not an Exynos chip, and Broadcom is even using it as a reference device for its mobile CPU. The BCM28155 SoC is a dual-core 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 fabrication with a homebrew VideoCore IV GPU, and the typical for A9s of yesteryear 40 or 45nm production method...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2013 02:00:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Exynos-chip-out-Broadcom-is-in-for-the-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Plus-and-Grand-Duos_id38669/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>CES 2013: All our coverage</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/CES-2013-All-our-coverage_id38424</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38424-thumb/CES-2013-All-our-coverage.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />If you're of the geeky kind, there's probably only one place in the world you'd like to be right now - Las Vegas. That's because Sin City is once again hosting the annual Consumer Electronics Show, which is already swinging at full speed. Of course, we're right in the middle of the action as well, bringing you all the latest news as it unfolds. Have you been keeping track of our coverage?...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2013 01:34:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/CES-2013-All-our-coverage_id38424/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Panasonic ToughPad JT-B1 hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Panasonic-ToughPad-JT-B1-hands-on_id38646</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38646-thumb/Panasonic-ToughPad-JT-B1-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />When you’re gunning for something that meets military standard 810g and is IP65 certified, which means it can withstand drops from a height of 5 feet and both dust/water resistant, you’re not going to find something that stylish with its design. Rather, the Panasonic Toughpad JT-B1 is simply...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:29:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Panasonic-ToughPad-JT-B1-hands-on_id38646/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Lenovo-IdeaTab-Lynx-hands-on_id38643</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38643-thumb/Lenovo-IdeaTab-Lynx-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Above all, the biggest thing to stand out to us with the Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx is its super lightweight feel in the hand. Sure, it’s boasting a textured plastic body that lacks the lustful desire of an all-metal body, but regardless of that, we’re blown away by its feather-like feel in the hand...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:50:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Lenovo-IdeaTab-Lynx-hands-on_id38643/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Lenovo IdeaPhone P770 hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Lenovo-IdeaPhone-P770-hands-on_id38644</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38644-thumb/Lenovo-IdeaPhone-P770-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Frankly, the IdeaPhone P770 is an ugly duckling when compared to the precise and modern design of the Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX HD. Obviously, we’re not digging the cheap feel of this glossy plastic handset, but at the same time, it’s super chunky in size – though, we have to...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Sun, 13 Jan 2013 05:07:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Lenovo-IdeaPhone-P770-hands-on_id38644/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11s hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Yoga-11s-hands-on_id38642</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38642-thumb/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Yoga-11s-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Enter the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11s, a smaller version of the highly popular 13.3-inch model that’s been making the rounds for the last few months. Yet again, we’re mesmerized by the tilting aspect of the Yoga 11s, as its screen is capable of being bent in various angles to fit our...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Sun, 13 Jan 2013 04:20:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Yoga-11s-hands-on_id38642/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Yoga-13-hands-on_id38641</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38641-thumb/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Yoga-13-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />At first glance, it’s hardly noticeable that the Yoga is any different from other ultrabooks currently in stores, but after fiddling around with it for some time, it’s pretty cool that its screen is able to tilt all the way back to transform into a tablet. Sure, it’s larger and somewhat more unwieldy...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Sun, 13 Jan 2013 03:18:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Yoga-13-hands-on_id38641/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Lenovo IdeaPhone K900 hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Lenovo-IdeaPhone-K900-hands-on_id38634</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38634-thumb/Lenovo-IdeaPhone-K900-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Sure, its overall large size is one of its most discernible aspects, but for something so grand and ready to compete with things like the Samsung Galaxy Note II, the K900 is simply gorgeous!

Digging the size and balanced weight of this one, you can turn it into a distinctive ThinkPad laptop by attaching the optional...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Sat, 12 Jan 2013 17:14:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Lenovo-ThinkPad-Tablet-2-hands-on_id38630/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Sony Xperia ZL is Canada bound says tweet from Sony Canada</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-Xperia-ZL-is-Canada-bound-says-tweet-from-Sony-Canada_id38637</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38637-thumb/Sony-Xperia-ZL-is-Canada-bound-says-tweet-from-Sony-Canada.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />A tweet from Sony Canada confirms that the Sony Xperia ZL is coming to Canada although it is not clear if the device will be launched via a carrier or come to market unlocked; the device is similar to the Sony Xperia Z which was quite possibly the most buzz worthy device on display at CES this year following last year's most talked about device, the Motorola DROID BIONIC...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Sat, 12 Jan 2013 11:58:00 -0600</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-Xperia-ZL-is-Canada-bound-says-tweet-from-Sony-Canada_id38637/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Polaroid M7 hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Polaroid-M7-hands-on_id38551</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/38551-thumb/Polaroid-M7-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Knowing that this is a $129 priced tablet, we really can’t expect a whole lot from its design. Rightfully so, that’s exactly what we find with the Polaroid M7, as its design is predictable in every facet.
