At MWC 2013 in Barcelona, NVIDIA showed off Tegra 4 on several tablets. They were so nice to let us do some benchmarks, despite the fact that these tablets are very early production samples. And boy, did we get the results! As you can see from the pictures, they are much faster than anything we were able to test and review up to now. Incoming Tegra 4 tablets will without doubt bring some serious performance if NVIDIA succeed to maintain clock speeds and yields under control.

During MWC 2013 Jabra has launched its latest range of corded and wireless high performance stereo headphones - Jabra Revo Wireless, Jabra Revo corded and Jabra Vox in-ear earphones. The key characteristic of this trio is that they are specifically designed for hard-wearing, everyday use and portability. All three headphones are able to deliver high quality listening and call experience at the same time.

AMD displayed several reference designs based on new Temash mobile processor, at MWC in Barcelona. As you have probably noticed, most of affordable Windows 8 tablets and slates are powered with Intel Atom processor. Temash is AMD answer for the same platform, trying to prove that affordable price and strong performance can go hand in hand. At AMD booth we were able to see several reference designs made by Compal and Wistron, big OEM’s that make hardware for HP, Dell and many others. You can see in accompanying video that hybrid with a quad-core Temash chip easily run Heaven benchmark, 1080p video reproduction, e-book reading and music reproduction at the same time.

Prominent feature of the Note line of Samsung devices is a S Pen, and up until now it was in different iterations in Note I and II phone, as well as in Note 10.1 tablet. Time has come to cover middle ground, so Samsung introduced Note 8.0.

After 40 minutes delayed press conference, Jerry Shen, the CEO of ASUS, introduced two interesting products, the Padfone Infinity, and the Fonepad. Yup, you got that right, after Padfone line, now we have something very similar, the Fonepad. But let’s start from the beginning.

While cruising at ShowStoppers event here in Barcelona, we was greeted with unusual sight - the newest Lenovo smartphone. Theirs latest smartphone is build on Clover Trail+ dual-core Atom Z2580 platform working at 2 GHz with hyperthreading, fooling some benchmark programs to think that it have quad core inside.

Galaxy SIII submerged in water, without a case and still working? This must be good right? As you can see on two accompanied videos there is some magic there, as two ordinary looking things like a paper tissue and Galaxy SIII are happy to be in the tank of water and still function.

HTC One gained a lot of attention with its appearance last week. HTC was very secretive about this one, with several teasing videos playing with our imagination. This will be a big one for HTC, who started to feel pressure from other smartphone manufacturers in recent quarters. While we had a few things to nag about, what was until recently known by its M7 codename overall left us in good spirits. It is no wonder that we wanted to find something more about it, and among few topics of interest is design.

The great thing about AMD is that new way in which they are heading is looking very promising. They’ve stepped out form the race with Intel for the fastest and most powerful mega-giga-ultra-almighty CPU, and focused on the things that brings them money (mainstream, GPU, APU, SOC) and in which they are good at. After Fusion, The future has a new name – Trinity. 

As you might expect, apart form the VGA, Gigabyte had a lot more interesting stuff at their boot. Although boot was in resellers part, away from non-press people it was crowded with new motherboards, VGA cards, notebooks, and server platforms. We talked with some guys from MB department and as they told us Intel Ivy Bridge models are in focus right now, especially B75, and H77 chipsets.
