World's First Smartphone With MediaTek Deca-Core Helio X20 Powerhouse Debuts: Enter Zopo Speed 8

-


A little-known smartphone maker named Zopo just launched the world's first smartphone to boast MediaTek's deca-core Helio X20 processor: meet the Speed 8.



Taking to the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2016 in Barcelona, Spain, Zopo unveiled its latest Speed 7C and Speed 8. While the Speed 7C is an unimpressive mid-ranger based on its specifications, the Speed 8 is shaping up as an intriguing powerhouse with notable specs and an affordable price tag.


The Zopo Speed 8 not only comes as the world's first smartphone to rock the Helio X20 SoC, but it also runs Android Marshmallow out of the box. The handset features a 5.5-inch full HD display (1080p), a deca-core MT6797 SoC with 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB of built-in storage, a 21-megapixel rear camera with Sony IMX230 and LED flash and an 8-megapixel selfie cam.

A large 3,600 mAh battery will keep things up and running and should provide a more than decent battery performance. Connectivity options include 4G LTE, 3G HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0. The Zopo Speed 8 also comes with dual-SIM support.

When it comes to pricing and availability, the Zopo Speed 8 will hit the market on April 12, sporting an affordable $299.99 price tag.

"It represents the pinnacle of design and manufacturing from ZOPO and is one of the most powerful devices to be released to the market during 2016," the company boasts in a press release.

The Zopo Speed 7C, meanwhile, stands out due to its wooden battery cover, as its specifications are otherwise standard for budget mid-rangers. The handset spports a 5-inch HD display (720p), a 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6735 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage and microSD support.

Other specs include a 13.2-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, a 5-megapixel front shooter, 4G LTE connectivity, a 2,500 mAh removable battery and Android 5.1 Lollipop on the software side. The Zopo Speed 7C will launch in Bamboo, Black Apricot, Ebony and Phoenix color options for the back cover. The company says the Speed 7C will launch in February, but urges interested customers to check local stores and online to get pricing details.

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 ...

The Nokia 3310 is back, but it's not exactly a pretty sight

Just like the rumor-vine predicted, HMD didn't skip on the opportunity to ride the nostalgia wave and reincarnate the legendary Nokia 3310 for a second go on the 2017 mobile scene. We are sure opinions will be polarized on the EUR 49 feature-phone, but that definitely fits into the whole idea. Whether you find it unsightly, or enjoy its colorful and playful looks, the new 3310 will definitely get fans talking, even if not necessarily buying. Again, as far as design goes, you will just have to judge for yourself. The new 3310 measure only 115.6 x 51 x 12.8 mm and is plastic all around. HMD claims it did the best it can to recreate the original 3310 rounded shape and silhouette. The rounded buttons on the retro keypad definitely hit home. However, the 2.4-inch QVGA display and the curved and polarized layer on top, do look a bit off. So do the buttons on the front.
