See full gallery on TechnoBuffalo

ZTE just unveiled one of the best looking phones we’ve seen all year. The Chinese company’s Nubia Z9, which made its debut on Wednesday at an event in Beijing, features a stunning design along with the high-end hardware to back it up.

The ZTE Nubia Z9 comes equipped with a 5.2-inch 1080p display with barely any bezels along the sides. The company also developed new software that takes advantage of that edge-to-edge design. For example, you can squeeze the phone twice to take a screenshot, or slide your fingers along the edge to control the brightness.

Under the hood you’ll find a Snapdragon 810 processor and a 2,900mAh battery. ZTE will offer several different models, starting with a Classic version that packs 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. There’s also an Elite variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and an Exclusive version of the Nubia Z9 that adds a fingerprint reader. Pricing starts at 3,499 Chinese Yuan ($564) for the Classic, ¥3,999 ($644) for the Elite, and ¥4,499 ($725) for the Exclusive.

As for the camera, ZTE included a 16-megapixel rear shooter with an aperture of F/2.0 and optical image stabilization. In front there’s an 8-megapixel 80-degree wide angle Sony lens. The Nubia Z9 also features new camera software designed to mimic a DSLR camera.

Preorders have already kicked off in China, though it’s unclear if ZTE plans to launch the Nubia Z9 globally anytime soon. We’d love to get our hands on this beautiful new handset, but it could be a while before the device reaches American shores, if ever.

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...
