Oppo Find 5 coming to China soon, may arrive in November!

HTC has finally confirmed all our previous speculation with the announcement of the J Butterfly in Japan. This brings us a true HD 5-inch smartphone, but it is far from the only one in the works. HTC’s new phablet may have received its big unveiling earlier today, but the Oppo Find 5 is just around the corner. 

The Find 5 is a rather impressive looking smartphone. The device features a 5-inch screen with a 1920 x 1080 resolution and is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon processor and 2GB of RAM. Other specs include a 12MP rear camera, a 2,500mAh battery, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. 

For the moment it is unclear whether or not the Oppo Find 5 will make its way outside of China. If the handset does, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and HTC J Butterfly may have some extra competition in the high-end phablet market.

While we don’t have an official release date targeted for the Find 5, several Chinese sites claim it will be released in November. If this proves true, the Find 5 will arrive in China about a month earlier than the HTC J Butterfly’s launch in Japan. Pricing for the new Oppo smartphone is said to start at 2,998 CNY (roughly $480) for the 16GB model. This certainly isn’t cheap, but you get a whole lot of phone for the money. a

What do you think, interested in the Oppo Find 5 or are you more excited about HTC’s newly announced 5-inch smartphone?

What to do when your phone gets wet?

******************************************
1. First off, get the phone out from its baptizing ceremony as soon as possible, and immediately take out the battery to prevent short-circuiting, as well as your SIM card, if any, to avoid losing your contacts - the longer it stays, the more eventual damage it will get.

2. Check your water damage sensor for change of color - it is a white dot or square near

the battery compartment in the corner - if it has changed color towards red, then your water damage has already voided your warranty and often your insurance, so whatever you do to resuscitate the phone from there is your responsibility.

3. Pray it is not saltwater, but the drinkable type, as salt crust can form on the delicate innards of the device. If it is saltwater, gently rinse with fresh after you've taken out the battery and SIM, and before the drying procedure has begun.

4. Wipe the phone everywhere with a cloth or a paper towel, trying not to move or shake it too much, as water might be spreading within the innards.

5. Try and "vacuum" around the phone all around to suck out the excessive moisture for a few minutes, then leave it in warm air circulation for a few hours, if possible.

6. Finally, put the phone in a jar or a pouch full of raw rice for the remainder of the at least 24 hours during which the handset can't be switched on, as rice is very water-absorbent and will help save your handset.

7. Turn the handset on after that twenty-four hour period, and hope it will power up and there will be no residual damage from corrosion or short-circuiting. If it works on a charger, but not on a battery, then feel free to swap the fried juicer.

Hope it helps :-)

Nexus 7 32GB variant to go on sale this week: Report

A report from UK technology blog ITProPortal suggests that the 32GB version of Nexus 7 tablet might go on sale starting this week. We are yet to hear anything official regarding the 32GB version from Google till now, although the tablet did accidentally pop up in Japan recently.

The 32GB Nexus 7 is expected to be priced at 199GBP, and is likely to replace the 16GB model, which is no longer on sale in UK at most stores.

Although a great tablet, Nexus 7 is often criticized for the lack of storage as there is no microSD card slot and the tablet is only sold in 8/16GB variants currently.

The recent price cut for Nexus 7 16GB version by UK retailer Richer Sounds, also seems to indicate the imminent arrival of 32GB version.

To remind you, Nexus 7 runs on Android 4.1.2 and features quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, front camera, and 7-inch HD display.
