BLU announces the Vivo 5 and Vivo XL at CES 2016

-


BLU normally has no problem releasing a number of premium smartphones at low price points, and it looks like the Florida-based smartphone maker has just unveiled two more. Here at CES 2016 in Las Vegas, BLU has just taken the wraps off the next two devices in the popular Vivo line – the Vivo 5 and Vivo XL. Both of these devices come with Super AMOLED displays, octa-core MediaTek processors and a metal unibody design that we don’t see too often at this price point. Wondering what else these phones have to offer? Let’s jump right in.



BLU Vivo 5

BLU’s Vivo 5 is the fifth generation device in the Vivo series. It comes with a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display with 1280 x 720 resolution, a 1.3GHz octa-core MediaTek 6753 processor, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There’s also a 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, 3150mAh battery and runs Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box. BLU says it has plans to upgrade both the Vivo 5 and Vivo XL to Marshmallow in the near future, so hopefully early adopters won’t have to wait too long to get their hands on the latest version of Android. This is also a 4G LTE-capable device with dual SIM card slots.

It’ll be available in White-Silver and Solid Gold color options at launch in February on Amazon and BestBuy.com for only $199.00.

BLU Vivo XL

The main differences between the the Vivo 5 and Vivo XL are in construction materials and memory options. The specs of the XL are nearly identical to those found on the Vivo 5, though the XL comes with just 16GB of internal storage, microSD expansion and 2GB of RAM. Additionally, the XL sports a mirror-like finish that wraps around the device, along with a unique pattern that brings some extra flair to the phone.

The Vivo XL will be available in Liquid Gold, Chrome Silver, Midnight Blue and Rose Gold color options in January on Amazon and BestBuy.com for $149.00.

Updated Google Contacts app makes it easier to get rid of duplicates

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school. That’s another feature that was present on the web app and it’s now finally making the jump to the Android app, a place where it’s actually more likely to be used. Google Contacts 1.5 is currently rolling out to all users, so it should land on your ...

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.

Nintendo announces 2DS XL for $150

-
Image
Nintendo has dropped a new handheld console, the 2DS XL. The 2DS XL is big step up from the toast-shaped 2DS and is essentially the 3DS XL but without the 3D display. That's really all there is to be said about this. The 2DS XL includes the faster processor, C-stick and NFC reader for Amiibos from the 3DS XL but lacks the 3D display and has a more compact and lighter design. The 2DS XL will still be compatible with all the 3DS games, just that you can't play them in 3D.
