HTC Windows Phone 8S

The device is pretty light at just 113 grams. The hardware doesn’t shoot for the stars - instead it caters to budget minded consumers. We have a 4-inch WVGA (that’s 480 x 800 pixels) screen, a Snapdragon S4 chip with a 1.0GHz dual-core Krait processor, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage that you can expand via microSD cards. There is a removable panel at the bottom where HTC has placed the micro SIM and microSD card slots.
The battery is not removable, though. HTC is including Beats Audio technology on this device to manage to differentiate itself in the Windows Phone arena. At the back, we have a 5-megapixel camera with f/2.8 aperture, recording videos at 720p. One sore omission is a front facing camera, so there is no easy way to make video calls and make use of the built in Skype client.

LG Tab Book Duo Hybrid 2 in 1 10 inch with Windows 8
The Korean company has renewed its family of hybrid “Tab Book” by launching a new model that recovers the origins and revolutionizes the concept. The first LG Tab Book fact was born exactly one year ago and had Windows 8, this summer has gone to Android, but the change did not last long. The new LG Tab Book Duo back to Windows 8 and is lighter and thinner than its predecessors, or so the slogan of LG.
LG Tab Book Duo has two strengths: its weight and the keyboard dock, which this time does not slip but is detachable. The new hybrid Korean company is in fact a 2-in-1 detachable, and then sold as a tablet and a separate keyboard. The tablet weighs only 530 grams, “equal to the weight of a bottle of mineral water” for LG, and reaches 792 grams when it is combined with the Bluetooth keyboard. In any case, always well below the tolerable kilo then either be transported in short / long journeys is to hold for a few hours. The keyboard is also a key to the accessory-Tab Book Duo, because it manages to turn a consumer tablet in a device for productivity. E ‘with a one-button push to ease the “contact” with the tablet and is also compatible with other mobile devices. Unlike the old Tab Book, this model is equipped with a stand on the back that allows you to keep upright the screen when using in “notebook”.
We do not know much about the technical specifications; LG is left only escape that will be equipped with a quad-core Intel (probably a Boradwell? We hope so!), 10.1-inch IPS screen and Windows 8.1 OS. On board is also a USB 3.0 port, a micro HDMI and a battery capable of delivering up to 11 hours of battery life. LG Tab Book Duo is available on the local market (Korea) for the price of ₩ 740,000, about $ 670 or 550 Euros. Both the tablet and keyboard are declined in white and black. For now, we do not know availability and price official Tab Book Duo in Europe and USA, but probably we will know more at CES 2015 in Las Vegas.
