Xiaomi’s Mi Note Pro gets an upgraded Snapdragon 810 V2.1 chip

It’s been a few months since Xiaomi unveiled the Mi Note and Mi Note Pro. Now, the company is finally taking preorders for the more powerful phone, and it turns out the device could pack some extra unexpected power under the hood.

According to Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun, the Mi Note Pro sports a Snapdragon 810 V2.1 chip, which the company worked directly with Qualcomm to engineer. The upgraded processor is apparently faster than the version included in the HTC One M9 and LG G Flex 2, at least based on its AnTuTu benchmark. It may also solve the overheating issues that allegedly plagued the original Snapdragon 810.

The Mi Note Pro also packs all the high-end specs you could hope for. That includes a 5.7-inch 2K display, a 3090mAh battery with Quick Charge 2.0 technology, a 13-megapixel rear camera from Sony, a 4-megapixel front-facing camera, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

We’re pretty curious about this new Snapdragon 810 chip. Does it really perform better than the standard version, or is it simply optimized for the Mi Note Pro? Either way, it’s exciting to see Qualcomm work directly with another phone-maker after doing the same with LG to design its Snapdragon 808 processor.

Unfortunately the Mi Note Pro won’t be getting a global release. The device will be available in China and a few other countries where Xiaomi is focused for 2999 Chinese Yuan (roughly $480) starting on May 12.

Mad Max meets Mario Kart is just bloody brilliant

How is this for a clever mash-up?  sundbergkr ‘s Mario Kart: Fury Road parody trailer mashes up the worlds of Mad Max and Mario Kart to epic results in this wonderful parody of the film’s trailer. What’s really special about this mash-up is that it isn’t entirely overdone. The Mario references are brief, subtle, and appear just long enough for you to appreciate them before waiting eagerly for the next one. Without a doubt the giant Chomp is the most laugh out loud moment, but the creators also slip in some perfectly timed and inappropriate voice clips during the violent action. I still haven’t seen Mad Max: Fury Road , due it not coming out in Japan until June 20, but I had purposely avoided the trailers to not get any spoilers. Now, thanks to Mario, June 20 can’t come fast enough! Source : Via : Destructoid from TechnoBuffalo http://ift.tt/1AvRv58

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly ...

Star Wars: Battlefront will not have classes

See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo When it comes time to pick your gear and weaponry in DICE’s upcoming relaunch of  Star Wars: Battlefront , you won’t be sifting through classes or class-specific stuff. That’s because the new  Battlefront has no class. I don’t mean that in a belch during dinner at a fancy restaurant kind of way, either. I mean you won’t be picking stuff like Engineer, Assault or Support before you roll onto the battlefield. In an interview with OXM , as summed up by the magazine’s sister site  Games Radar , Design Director Niklas Fegraeus indicated that classes are out. You’ll be able to pick and choose between unlocked weapons and gear freely and build to your own style. Furthermore, Fegraeus also indicated that  Battlefront will not feature the five-person squad feature that  Battlefield  offers. Instead, players will run as partners, a group of two system that lets players stick together, appear on one another’s HUDs and spawn besi...
