Samsung has filed a complaint with the Berlin police department over the disappearance of two 55-inch OLED televisions that were destined to be shown at IFA 2012. As IFA 2012 is winding down in Berlin, Samsung is on the hunt for what happened to two of its 55-inch OLED (organic-light-emitting diodes) televisions that were to be shown on the show floor. Seen as the next technology to...
It’s been a whirlwind at IFA 2012, with some pretty big announcements coming out of the annual event. While the show doesn’t grab media headlines the way a CES does, manufacturers have shown off some pretty impressive wares, which gives us a perfect excuse to dedicate this weekend’s Buffalo Gear to a few of the coolest gadgets. Pretty much everything we covered is something I’d happily...
Sony on Wednesday provided a live demonstration of its splash-proof with IPx4 technology, and we thought it would make for a fun little video. As you can see, Sony has no problem dousing its fresh lineup of tablets and handsets with a little water. They all take the abuse in stride, although none of the three Sony handsets are turned on (or did they malfunction from the water?). Either...
Lenovo announced a slew of new Android tablets during IFA in Berlin and one of them was the IdeaTab A2109A. It packs a quad-core Tegra 3 processor clocked at 1.2GHz, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, a 9-inch display with a 1280 x 800-pixel resolution, Bluetooth 3.0, 1GB of RAM, 8GB or 16GB of storage, a microUSB port, microHDMI-out, a microSD port, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera and...
Wow, Lenovo is definitely trying to tackle the Nexus 7 with its new IdeaTab A2107A, which is basically a clone of Google’s tablet but with less power. It offers a Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1GHz, Android 4.0 instead of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, Bluetooth 3.0, a 7-inch 1024 x 600-pixel display, a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera, a 2-megapixel camera, 4GB or 16GB of internal storage,...
Huawei’s Ascend D1 Quad XL may be the company’s pride during IFA, but it also announced a mid-range Huawei Ascend G 600 device. It packs a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 4GB of storage, 768MB of RAM, a 4.5-inch 960 x 540-piel display, Bluetooth 3.0, an 8-megapixel camera, a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat and a 2,000mAh battery. Most consumers will probably want to...
Lenovo had its Android-powered IdeaTab S2110A (what a long, weird name) on display at IFA in Berlin… with a catch. The device didn’t turn on! Thankfully, we were able to figure out a little bit about it and play around with the hardware shell. The device packs a dual-core Qualcomm processor clocked at 1.5GHz, runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, has a 10.1-inch IPS display with a 1280 x...
Huawei introduced its original MediaPad earlier this year and, now, it has launched a watered-down version of the device. The tablet runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and is powered by a 1.2GHz processor. We like the aluminum unibody design, which reminded us a lot of the HTC Flyer, but weren’t too blown away by the specs. The display wasn’t very sharp and it doesn’t offer HDMI-out,...
We recently had a chance to check out one of HP’s new high-end notebook computers, the Envy X2. The device serves as both a tablet and a full-fledged notebook. It runs Windows 8, weighs just 3.1 pounds with the keyboard and features a ton of high-end specs. What specs, you ask? To start, it’s equipped with a 11.6-inch HD touchscreen display, an HD webcam, an 8-megapixel camera on the...
We swung by Huawei’s booth during IFA in Berlin to quickly check out several of its new products, among them is the flagship Huawei Ascend D1 Quad XL. It packs 8GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, a 1.4GHz quad-core processor, support for 32GB microSD cards, Bluetooth 3.0, an 8-megapixel camera capable of recording HD video, a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera for video chats and a large 2,...
