Huawei can launch phablet with stylus to compete with … – Tudocelular.com

Samsung pioneered the phablets segment to bring the Note line in 2011. Criticized initially the news was end up falling in love not only critical, but also for users who are always seeking ever larger smartphones. Other companies are also investing in this segment, such as Apple brought the first iPhone with screen above 5 inches last year.

LG is another manufacturer who always tried to gain its place in the phablets segment to bring a direct competitor of Samsung’s device. The company will return with all this year to bring the G4 Pro, by whatever name being given by the company with the latest chipset, the highly anticipated Snapdragon 820, 4 GB of RAM and 5.8-inch screen with a resolution Quad HD and IPS panel.

However, these are not the only companies that South Korea need to worry. Rumors claim that Huawei plans to launch a phablet with next screen 6 inches and stylus to increase productivity. The Chinese company is currently working in partnership with Google to bring the Nexus 6P at the end of the month. As mentioned, this will be the successor to the Nexus phablet 6 produced by Motorola.

It seems that Huawei would be seeking to close a partnership with similar companies to Wacom, the company that worked closely with Samsung to develop the S Pen. It is expected that the crayon Huawei bring the same level of resources or something even more prepared to show a more serious competitor to the Galaxy Note from Samsung, as the majority of manufacturers bring only models with larger screens, without offering a differential with relation to the smaller smartphones.

The source said that Huawei would have found the company that search, which may indicate that the development of this new phablet is already underway. However, this is not the first time we see a company’s smartphone be reviewed to come with stylus. In 2013, Huawei launched the Ascend Mate it was contemplated to come with stylus, but it had been set aside by the company. The same happened with Kill 2 that was not released with stylus.

This will make it this time really will see a Chinese manufacturer of smartphone hit the market with stylus pen? The company did not comment officially, therefore, it can not pass rumors, once again.

As is shown in the video, m2 note has only one physical button with two actions, a capacitive touch and another button, which make the actions of kicking and Home respectively. This is a simplification which may seem strange, given the current trend in Android devices, however, works very well.

With respect to switching between open applications Recently, there is a button but simply to make an upward movement on the screen, from the lower edge, which immediately arises a bar with a list of all recently opened application. On the taskbar, just missing the typical button to access the settings, vulgar Android has for a long time, that has to be solved by placing it on the Homescreen.

With regard to the Meizu m1 note, which was released in January this year (6 weeks before), it is slightly more potent than m2 $ 40 note but also more expensive. If the Android Lollipop is not for you a priority if the slot microSD card and improved camera and some additional bands 4G LTE not make lack (m2 advantages note), then the $ 40 additional the m1 note to have a slightly brighter screen and SoC slightly more powerful may be worth it.
