Samsung launches $129 Galaxy Tab 3 lite 7.0


We're not saying that Samsung has announced the same tablet four times in a row but it's hard to deny that the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 7.0 is almost the same as the regular Tab 3 7.0, which in turn was almost the same as the Tab 2 7.0, itself quite similar to the Tab 7.0 Plus.
Well, here go the specs. Again. The Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 7.0 has a 7" screen of WSVGA resolution (1,024 x 600 pixels) and a dual-core 1.2GHz processor (unknown chipset) with 1GB RAM. The tablet runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, has 8GB of storage and a microSD card.

This is where things start to deviate a bit – the rear camera is a 2MP units instead of 3.15MP and there's no front-facing camera. The tablet is a bit thinner at 9.7mm (down from 9.9mm) but is taller and wider by 5mm. It's also a few grams heavier, despite the "lite" name.
More importantly, the battery capacity is down to 3,600mAh, which is phablet territory (the Huawei Ascend Mate has 4,050mAh battery). Samsung is promising up to 8 hours of video playback, but we'll believe it when we see it.

At least the connectivity seems intact – there's optional 3G (HSPA+, 21Mbps down, 5.76Mbps up), Wi-Fi b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0 and USB 2.0. There's also a GPS + GLONASS receiver.
The Android OS version is getting a little old, but you do get Dropbox (no explicit mention of the 50GB bonus ,though) and Polaris Office.

Samsung hasn’t provided availability or pricing details, though we expect the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite to launch in markets around the end of January / early February, at a price starting at as low as 100 Euro ($129) for the Wi-Fi-only model, though as usual, these details can change as the days go by.GSMArena ,Sammobile

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
