HTC One M8 Eye Quietly Launched in China, but It Won’t Be Released Worldwide

Yesterday HTC came forward with two new devices aimed at camera lovers, the HTC Desire Eye and the RE camera, both of which will be available for purchase this month. However, we expected the Taiwanese company to launch at least two new smartphones, the HTC Desire Eye and the One M8 Eye, but only the former was officially introduced during the “Double Exposure” event. Well, it appears that the reason for which the HTC One M8 Eye hasn’t been unveiled yesterday is the fact that it won’t be available worldwide. The smartphone has been recently spotted over at HTC China website, Slashgear reports. If you happen to live in China, you can now pre-order the HTC One M8 Eye for 3,999 yuan outright, which is about $650 or €510. According to...

Nexus 6 Benchmark Confirms 2.7GHz Snapdragon 805 CPU, QHD Display

Motorola Shamu, also known as Nexus 6 or Nexus X has been spotted in another benchmark, along with some of its specs. This is not the first time and most likely won’t be the last that we see the Nexus 6 being benchmarked by those who received prototype units. By the time Google decides to go official with its next flagship smartphone, we might as well learn all the features the Nexus 6 has to offer. The only thing that’s unclear is whether or not Google will go with only one Nexus 6 model or there will be two variations customers will be able to choose from. Even though initial rumors pointed to a 5.2-inch Nexus 6 smartphone, it looks like Google will in fact launch a much larger 5.9-inch version, which might not appeal to all those...

Auros X7 Pro Gaming Laptop Has 17.3-Inch FHD Display, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M in SLI

The battle to slim down the weight of gaming notebooks to the maximum has been intensifying in recent times. Back at Computex, Gigabyte introduced the Auros X3 which was touted the world’s most powerful and lightest gaming laptop in its class. The laptop weighed 4.12 lbs / 1.8 kg so it was a tad lighter than the Razer Blade with its 4.47 lbs / 2.02. But since the advent of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M / 970M GPUs, most gaming solution manufacturers have announced updated models or completely new iterations based on the new architecture. So Auros is following the trend with the launch of the X7 Pro gaming notebook which comes equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M. Auros X7 Pro offers SLI options While this is not the top-of-line...

HTC Periscope-Looking RE Camera Launches, Is Very Simple, Cute and Portable

As expected for the past few weeks, HTC unveiled during the “Double Exposure” event in New York its own take at GoPro action cams, coming in the form of the RE camera. The company already teased the device a while ago, so we knew the little gizmo looks like a PVC pipe (or maybe a periscope or asthma inhaler) so users can grip it easier. The RE camera is small and colorful The RE comes with IP57 rating, so it can be used while you’re having a fun day at the beach. The camera arrives with a 16MP 1/ 2.3-inch sensor with ultra-wide 146-degree lens. The camera can shoot 1080p video and capture 16MP photos but comes equipped with a bunch of extra features such as slow-motion video capture and time-lapse recording. On top of that,...
