We are back with a new look !

First of all ,Happy new year 2017!!

MasHD - A tech blog which started out as a third-party tech news site back in 2011 was probably one of the longest tech news articles I've maintained for a long time , the Blog - launched as a platform to publish our now-defunct "Mashdroid Magazine (2011-2013) was probably one of the fastest tech news blogs from Sri Lanka at the time - but as time went on the idea to continue the Mashdroid Magazine was dropped as users preferred up-to date information rather than a print ready PDF magazine - and thus , MasHD was born.

Mashdroid Magazine - June 2011

With some success on the blogging side , MasHD slowly expanded its news content to gadgets and other lifestyle tech products other than Android Smartphones and Tablets , this also meant that i had to spend more time and energy on writing news articles ranging from fitness trackers to electric cars (Added recently under the MasHD Autonews tag) But with my studies getting more and more demanding , the time i had to write these articles dropped , and last year - April 2016 , i decided to give a break (and possibly even stop the whole blog) ,but now with most of my "Work" complete , MasHD will move on , and move on it shall .

So , what can you expect from MasHD in 2017 ? . Well as I've stated previously , moving on is one option , and therefore i have decided to drop Automotive news (MasHD Autonews) and most of the Lifestyle tech news articles as well (Includes IOT devices , random reviews etc) , This however will not spell the end for my blog as i would still keep the Smartphone and Tablet news and reviews alive . Also i am set to focus more on new Camera news and reviews Tagged under the new Mashpixel title with the hope of launching a spin-off tech blog (a proper website) under the same name .

Finally i would like to thank everyone who visited my blog for the last 6 years and to other third party tech news sites (who were responsible for promoting this blog to where it is now) and to my primary tech news sites ,writers and journalists who constantly keep updating their feeds from which we "feed off" from . Thank you once again

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...
