The Asus PadFone Infinity has a 5-inch 1080p display, LTE connectivity, and is powered by a 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor, which puts it on par with the best around. The “Pad” side of the product, which Asus calls the “Infinity Station,” features a 10.1-inch 1080p display as well as another battery.

The Asus PadFone Infinity  comes out to 441 ppi, Additionally, the tablet’s 10.1-inch screen has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200, up from 1,280 x 800 in the last-gen model. It’s plenty bright, too, at 400 nits, but that’s a slight step down from the last-gen model, which lit up to 500 nits.

Also on-board, you get 2GB of RAM to help boost performance, with your choice of either 32GB or 64GB of built-in storage. As far as connectivity, you’re looking at EDGE, GPRS, GSM, WCDMA, LTE and DC-HSPA+, along with all the usual radios: WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, A-GPS and even GLONASS.

Samsung Confirms Galaxy S4 Launch for 14th March

Samsung Mobile has confirmed a major launch event in New York next month,  expected to involve the new Galaxy S4 flagship smartphone.
The invites,  issued at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, ask members of the  press to “come and see the next Galaxy” at Radio City Music Hall in New York  City on March 14 at 7pm local time.

Samsung S4 invite

The Mobile Unpacked invite does not specifically mention the rumoured Galaxy S4, but it does bear the telling line,  “Ready 4 the Show”. The New York event will also be live streamed on Samsung Mobile’s YouTube channel.

The March launch date is much earlier than the Galaxy S3, which was unveiled by  Samsung in early May 2012 and went on to sell over 40 million units, even  challenging Apple’s iPhone 5.

Previous rumours have suggested that the  new S4 will feature a 4.99-inch, 1080p screen capable of displaying 440 pixels  per inch.

It is also expected to have an Exynos 5 Octa 8-core processor  and a 13-megapixel camera, along with various Samsung specific software  features.

Other rumours  oint to new “5G WiFi connectivity”, and that the phone will get a mini  version, as with the S3 Mini late last year.

A recent domain registration also points to an April reveal, with the “XboxEvent.com” domain name set up by an events management company linked to  Microsoft, according to VG247.

Microsoft is said to have been caught off guard by Sony’s PlayStation 4 announcement, possibly changing the timing of its plans to unveil the new Xbox.

Alleged Xbox 720 patent filings suggest Microsoft’s next console will feature two CPUs, one for  gaming and another for multimedia applications.

It claimed that the Xbox  720 will launch during the 2013  holiday season and feature Kinect 2.0, 3D technology and the long-rumoured Xbox TV.

Battlefield 4 Confirmed as Next Gen Release

Battlefield 4 has been confirmed as one of EA’s ‘big’ next gen launches by EA Labels President Frank Gibeau.

Battlefield-3-Close-Quarters-Ziba-Tower-5_thumb.jpg

Writing in a blog entitled ‘Transition is our friend,’ Gibeau said “For EA’s creative teams, this transition comes as no surprise. We’ve been investing and innovating on new technology for months. Console partners who have seen our early work agree, EA’s next-gen software is nothing short of astonishing.

“At a GameStop company meeting earlier this week, we gave 500 store managers a sneak peek at Battlefield 4. The game received a huge ovation and thousands of fans reacted to a single enthusiastic Tweet by GameStop’s CEO.” It comes as no surprise that Battlefield 4 will be one of the games gracing both PS4 and the Next Xbox. Now we await confirmation of other big name EA titles, such as FIFA 14.
