Stories you shouldn't have missed this week
To the surprise of no one, the list of stories you shouldn't have missed this week is dominated by posts from CES 2013. And among the most significant events that occurred during the show was the announcement of the Sony Xperia Z and its even slimmer counterpart, the Xperia ZL. But that's far from all.

Qualcomm introduced the new Snapdragon SoC series, while NVIDIA made official the new Tegra 4 chip for mobile devices. And speaking of chips, Samsung took the veil off the Exynos 5 Octa, which will surely land under the hood of its 2013 flagship devices.

Strangely enough, the most packed 5"-er (3000mAh, aluminum dust & waterproof unibody, 13MP HDR camera, Android 4.2 upon lauch) did not make many people's story-not-to-miss list.
