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.

Due to the large amount of glass present on the device, many people began to question him about his stamina, something that took the channel staff UnlockRiver.com to do something completely insane.

Rather than perform traditional fall tests at heights that smartphones often actually fall for everyday use, they decided to use a drone to raise the Galaxy Note 5 to about 900 feet, which gives something like unbelievable 274 meters high . After that, they just dropped the device, causing it to plummet all the way back and found a hard floor gravel waiting for him.

The result, however, was not exactly expected under the circumstances, because even if the unit has suffered considerable damage in the lower side (making even with the S Pen to stay “stuck”), he continued running without major problems , being able to play music and perform / receive calls. Obviously your display left of displaying content properly, having only lapses of the images that were being presented, but this is already something quite impressive for a smartphone that fell from more than 270 meters high.

Valley note that the entire procedure was carried out with permission from the local air traffic body and with the help of professionals, not recommended that you try to do something similar , as drop a device that weighs 171 grams and is built in such a tall metal can cause serious accidents if not in a fully controlled environment. Furthermore, drop tests are quite concerning, because in the same way that he “survived” to something so extreme it can have its totally destroyed display in day to day situations.

The full video has only 3 minutes and 44 seconds, may be seen below. He, however, is in English.
