HERE IS OUR BSET OF CES 2013
BlackBerry 10
BlackBerry 10 wasn’t formally a part of CES this year, but RIM was in town anyway, showing off the latest, near final version of BlackBerry 10, which launches on January 30. What we saw was impressive. BB 10 doesn’t completely reinvent the wheel, but it combines a lot of winning interface ideas from WebOS, Android, and iOS. In our short time with the device, we were impressed by how well its universal inbox managed everything from email to social notifications, how easy it was to manage open apps, and how well the entire interface flowed together. Like Ubuntu and Firefox OS, BB 10 plans to challenge the duopoly of Android and iPhone. With an interface that’s more appealing than Windows Phone, we think it has a chance.
Huawei Ascend Mate
he Mate is an Android lover’s dream: full HD screen, 4050mAh battery, and a 13 megapixel camera. This smartphone has all the right moves and its a bold move for Huawei, a Chinese manufacturer just starting to find its brand around the world.
Sony Xperia Z
The Z follows the new phone trend of 5-inch 1080p screens, quad-core
processors, 13-megapixel cameras, and thin 8-9mm frames, but also packs
in a waterproof (resistant) design, allowing you to fondle your phone in
the bathtub, shower, or whatever other place you can think of. The
Xperia Z may be the first major phone in the U.S. with waterproofing
tech built in.
