Chip maker AMD has about Twitter innovation announced the award of two CES awards for project discovery and published an image of the mini pc tablet at the same time. With a Techradar you could find out that a Mullins-APU is at the heart of computing, but handle according to AMD to a feasibility study. A publication is currently not planned.

Not only in the segment of the graphics card, AMD wants to provide orderly upturn but also with mobile solutions. After just a few days ago, a roadmap to the APU plans has been published, the first information about a device now follow with Mullins computer heart. The new microarchitecture will replace Temash and come with two to four PUMA cores. This coupled is used with a GCN-1.1 graphics unit. Completely surprisingly AMD itself about Twitter has shown the project discovery, revealed but not too much information.

Windows 8(.1) is used as the operating system, as you can see on the home button at the bottom. Because tablets get missed by the higher resolutions typically relatively powerful hardware, the inserted Mullins-APU has probably two modules. In addition, there is a "gamepad"extension, which converts the tablet to the handheld console. The docking station is connected probably just advertised discreetly technology.

Compared with the colleagues from Techradar AMD should have expressed with regard to a publication. Therefore, there are currently no plans to offer products with the own branding. Rather they wanted to show 2014 the world at CES, what AMD is with its new generation of Mullins in the Tablet area in the location. Probably you want to bring also the OEM manufacturer to build the own processors in future devices.

Currently, the spread of tablets with Temash APU looks indeed rather poorly. There are currently only Acer and ASUS products, otherwise there are only low-end notebooks. Nevertheless, also project discovery could arrive next year at least have a partner on the market. NVIDIA's handheld console shield had been planned originally as a feasibility study.

Qualcomm has the ARM processor Snapdragon 805 introduced ultra HD, a system-on-chip for smartphones and tablets imaginary with four Krait cores, the graphics core Adreno 420 as well as Wi-Fi and mobile radio connection. He should prepare mobile devices for the 4K-Zeitalter, so allow the recording and playback of 4K-Videos, as well as internal 4K-Displays and 4K-Monitore control - and this hold especially enough graphics power.

The four Krait-450 cores reach 2.5 GHz, so 0.2 GHz over at the predecessor of Snapdragon 800. Storage throughput is Qualcomm with 25.6 GB / s on which would be a duplication: the Snapdragon 800 has two 32-bit channels at 800 MHz, creates a maximum of 12.8 GB / s. Because Qualcomm could have probably mentioned a widening of the memory bus, the Snapdragon 805 with LPDDR3-3200 memory (1.6 GHz) should cope. It is however doubtful, whether all manufacturers (or initially even a) then this memory use; more LPDDR3-2133 should be used - thus 17 GByte/s. Other major changes in the Krait core as a 64-bit support Qualcomm would have mentioned, probably, so it should be still a 32-bit processor with up to 4 GB of main memory.

The graphics core Adreno 420 to run up to 40 percent faster than its predecessor (c't and TechStage have tested the Adreno 330 in the Snapdragon 800). He supports - the first 12-inch display with this resolution was presented last month - internal 4K-Displays and external monitors with this resolution. The 805 is available with two different mobile radio modules that support the faster the 800 150 Mbps LTE, 11ac Wi-Fi and 4K-Streaming.

Qualcomm provides already samples to manufacturers and anticipates series devices in the summer of next year. Probably the Snapdragon will be finding 805 initially only in tablets, perhaps with the 12-inch display. Snapdragon 800 anyway, has a high heat that manufacturer so far at best up cool get it in Smartphones from 5 inches, under load and even there it is throttled: as revealed in the c't lab, that of the Snapdragon of 800 in the samsung mobile accessories only temporarily unrestricted runs note 3, Sony Z Ultra and other devices. Only Sony likes to make it better: the Xperia Z1f that wants to get the Qualcomm 800 with 2.2 GHz in a 4.3 inch enclosure in the handle is announced at the end of the year.

Samsung Electronics, the third quarter of this year the first time in its history, has sold more than 10 million of the tablet Pc. It broke Apple's heels in the bud global market share of 20 % marks.

According to the U.S. market research firm Strategy Analytics on November 19 announced that Samsung Electronics sold 10.5 million tablet PCs in the third quarter . Its tablet PC sales 16,600,000 units throughout the year in 2013 , reaching 8.4 million units in the second quarter of 2013 . In short , the amount is only a quarter of a 25% increase . Three quarters of this year, total sales volume adds up to 28 million units, and its market share rose to 20.2%. Percentage in last year's 9.7% and 16.9% in the second quarter of this year stood .

At the same time , Apple's third quarter , down from 500,000 the previous quarter sold 14.1 million units Ipad. Its market share fell 2.1 percentage points to 27.1% .

Market share gap between the two in the second quarter of 2013 for the present , much lower than last year's 28.8 percent and 12.3 percent was 6.9 percentage points. This is the gap down to a few the first time. If this rate continues , Samsung Electronics is likely to become the number one in the next year before the end of tablet PC vendor in the global market .

They followed Asus ( 3.5 million units , 6.8% ) , Lenovo ( 2.3 million , 4.4% ) and Amazon ( 1.5 million , 2.8% ) . Global sales for the 3rd quarter was 51.97 million units .

Even if the name slate 6 voice tab suggests a Tablet, it seems rather to be an oversized Smartphone

After the entry into the mobile business with the purchase of Palm and the first smartphones and tablets with webOS for HP once almost already legendary failed, the manufacturer tries to find back around for a while in the mobile business for one. This offered tablets with Android and Windows 8.1 and Chromebook. Only on Smartphones the manufacturer so far not really dared approach, although CEO Meg Whitman had already hinted that the issue not be totally off the table.

Now seem to have plans to be more specific. It tried HP old failures to remember and speaks rather of a slate 6 voice tab, that now in the test database of GFX benchmarks showed up. While the surmise that it the device is more to a Phablet with a 6 "large screen acts as to an actual tablet.

However, the slate 6 promises no really spectacular appearance. Because the resolution of the 6 "is specified in the benchmark only with 720 p displays and also the processor from Marvell, who has four cores clocked at 1 GHz, built behind it will deliver no performance miracle. As the operating system Android 4.2 is installed, both no longer must be at a new unit of a manufacturer. There remains only the hope for a sound processing and a low price, otherwise shipwreck threatens HP with the next new mobile phones. Further details can be certainly to CES in January or the MWC in February.

After the mobile phone version of the iPad with retina display initially only directly from Apple could be involved in mini, also the major German providers offer recently the new tablet. Who enters into a contract can be purchased the 16-MFM model already from 1 euro.

IPad mini 2nd generation is available since over a week in the trade, but in the Apple online store or in the shops in the Wi-Fi version only really well. According to Apple's online store buyer of the LTE version waiting from 5 to 10 days must adjust, before the Tablet pc will be sent. Mobile operators also have the new iPad mini in the version recently in their programme, where interested customers must wait here but usually even longer: depending on the provider, two to three weeks are specified delivery time.

There are the iPad mini with retina display in the LTE version however cross-subsidised to a cheaper purchase price: among others Deutsche Telekom offers the new Apple tablet in conjunction with the current discounted rate "Mobile Data M Premium" (37.45 EUR per month) for 1 euro. Also at Vodafone, where the 16-MFM model with LTE in the "MobileInternet flat 42.2" (43.99 EUR per month) is also to have this fee. For new customers but still a deployment of around 30 euros will be charged at two. At O2 there is 49 Euro and 28,49 EUR iPad mini with retina display for unique monthly (from the 13th month 29.99 Euro) in the tariff "O2 go with surf flat M". All offers include a contract period of 24 months and different data volume and speed. Interested should calculate but always exactly the tariffs, as the full price purchase of a unit in connection with the use of a mobile phone discounter can be quite convenient.

Background to the iPad mini with retina display

The second iPad mini is as thick as the air iPad, Apple's current top model but with dimensions of 200.0 × 134,7 mm compared to 240.0 × 169.5 mm more compact with about 7.5 millimeters. In the Wi-Fi version that weighs iPad mini about 330 grams. At a screen size of 7.9 inches, the screen provides a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and therefore a pixel density of 326 ppi. Like in the iPhone 5 and iPad air own A7 as system-on-a-chip also comes in Apple's smaller Tablet model used, the 1 GiByte RAM to the side stand. The front camera features a 1.2-megapixel sensor, while the counterpart on the back with 5 megapixels. Potential customers have the choice between the colours of "space grey" and "Silver" for the case.

After the acquisition by Google, it had become quiet to Motorola, at least in Germany. But now the Americans bring the Moto G - a well-equipped Android Smartphone to the predatory pricing. The device with 8 GB Flash memory will cost just €170, for the 16 GB version, Motorola requires 30 euros more.

High-end components are not to expect; Motorola incorporates hardware but still solid middle-class in the Moto G. These include a 4.5-inch display with 720 p resolution and protection of Gorilla glass, a clocked at 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 with four cores, Adreno-305 graphics processor, 1 GB of RAM and Android 4.3 - KitKat Android 4.4 should follow in a few weeks. It is indeed not a pure stock Android, Motorola has built only a few additional software but according to own.

Mototola; called exact transit times the 2070-mAh battery but stay a day's work. The cameras (5 megapixels on the back, 1.3 on the front) rotate videos in 720 p, there is HSPA with 21 MBit / s, wireless-n, GPS & GLONASS and Bluetooth 4.0.

The motor does not have a MicroSD slot G, every buyer receives but for two years 50 GByte free storage on Google drive. The Moto [G] is only in black available. removable battery cover in yellow, red, gsm mobile phones, are blue and magenta available. A special coating to protect the inner workings from damage due to water. Motorola wants to bring the Moto G mid-November on the German market.

German supermarkets in the fight for digital wallet has begun. The large retail chains to test mobile payment method . Edeka already started mid-May. Since then, customers can pay via smartphone during cheese and sausage Edeka discounter Netto . Rewe is now also jumped on the train towards " Mobile Payment " . Since early November, you can also whip out to pay cash to the Rewe his mobile phones in dubai .

App to Pay

Paying with iPhone and Co. is simple. The customer downloads previously downloaded an app and logs on to the mobile payment method . At Rewe him the POS indicate the amount to be paid by QR Code , the Successor of barcodes. The code is scanned with a smartphone , and Customer agrees to pay by app . Unlike in the net - app: you generated for each purchase a number code which is valid for five minutes. At the checkout , the customer calls the code, and the goods have been paid .

"With mobile payment , we offer a modern payment alternative for smartphone -savvy customers," said spokeswoman Christina Stylianou net to heute.de . How often the net app has been downloaded in the last six months and pay as many customers are already mobile, it makes spokesperson " for competitive reasons " not applicable . It should be no secret that so far only a few customers use the new payment method .

Test how the customer wants to pay

" In the food trade is still primarily paid with cash ," said Rewe spokesman Andreas Kraemer of heute.de on demand . One therefore expects " first with a low single-digit percentage of payments " via a smartphone app. Ultimately, it Rewe with the new payment method immediate concern " to test whether and what alternatives customers want when you pay ."
"The activities of trade are certainly stimulating market ," says Frank Schipplick , financial expert at the Hamburg consultancy Steria Mummert Consulting . But : "There are still some obstacles to overcome before retail chains will reach a broad user acceptance of mobile payment systems . " The main obstacle is the lack of standardization . Each chain still cook their own mobile soup .

Island solutions confuse the customer

Studies have shown that the average consumer needs to cover his daily average of more than nine different shopping sites. Therefore had to be found for all the stores a single payment solution so Schipplick to heute.de .

Isolated solutions of individual chains are counterproductive and confused customers.

Large and fast smartphones are always an eye catcher . What would be , but if there were such a power even at lower prices than those from Apple, HTC or Samsung ? The Chinese company Huawei is ambitious and wants to make his Ascend P6 probably just demonstrated . What has to offer smartphone flat in practice, and exactly where it is to be settled in performance, explains our current test .

Intro

Huawei has become famous in recent years, mainly as a telecommunications provider . As a manufacturer of lifestyle products such as tablet phone and smartphones , the company was rarely perceived . But it is precisely in this area , the Chinese company has a few years on the rise and solidify its status in Western countries by a major European Sits in Dusseldorf .

This Huawei is active both as a contract manufacturer , as well as developers of proprietary products and confirms this with sister company to the chip manufacturing and research departments for chip development . So that Huawei is a quite serious competitor , which has sufficient know -how to the current sizes in the range of " consumer electronics " add .

Who fears due to the eavesdropping scandal to the mobile by German Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) to the confidentiality of his conversations, has much of a chance to protect themselves.

Only high security phones, which cost several thousand dollars--and who must be both parties offer real protection against eavesdropping. Nevertheless, mobile phones owners should be careful: because the small miracle devices do more and have become a constant companion of man, they are increasingly targeted by cyber criminals.

Are smartphones generally endangered due to viruses or attacks from the outside?

Yes, because smartphones are small computer in principle. Therefore they can be also attacked, hacked or pirated. Malicious programs, aimed at multimedia phones, are what operating system is used on the rise - no matter. The Google system Android phones are so far particularly affected, because it is most prevalent.

What dangers threaten my Smartphone?

The risks are similar for computers. Pests can spy out data, access from identities and passwords. Also they can take command of smartphones at least in part. The telephone and SMS function, as well as the often built-in satellite navigation are particularly sensitive for smartphones. So pests have already surfaced, which have sent paid SMS in the background or choose expensive numbers. Also, the contacts can be worn.

What can I do to protect my Smartphone?

Protection software such as anti virus programs for smartphones are large well-known companies as well as smaller manufacturers. They offer apps that can be installed directly on the Smartphone. Often, the programs are even free. The apps are especially useful when they provide functionality for the loss of smartphones.

What do I need for apps?

At the widgets, users need to be always careful. You should allow no programs from unknown sources – mostly anyway by default disabled on the phones. Also, apps when you install specify what rights request. About a game requires access to SMS, or GPS, users should be suspicious.

Are there tips for calls, SMS, emails and other messages?

Users in principle can not defend against the interception of telephone calls. While SMS are still comparatively safe, transmitted the messages of many so-called Messenger - as for example in the popular program WhatsApp - often completely unencrypted. The same generally applies for E-Mails. Such data can comparatively easy to catch criminals. Care must be taken especially when open Wi-Fi networks for example in cafés: also here can be easily intercept unencrypted data. Remedy the so-called VPN connections. There are many apps and Internet services - the good provider but cost money.

How can I protect myself in case of the loss of my Smartphone?

A Smartphone is lost, too many data are gone - and are then perhaps in the hand of a dishonest Finder. souq uae Smartphones should therefore be suspended with a code, in addition to the pin of the SIM card. New Android phones also can be an option, which must enable user but extra, locate and lock; its data can be deleted. Numerous security and anti virus apps control this function.
