The new flagship phone features a 5-inch 1080p (1,920 x 1,080) Super AMOLED display with possibly the best smartphone feature ever... It works with gloves! Too bad winter is almost over. It will ship with 2GB RAM, Android 4.2.2 and a 1.6GHz Exynos Octa-core chip or a 1.9GHz quad-core Qualcomm depending on where your live. It also feature a 2,600mAh battery, an IR blaster, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, a 13MP BSI rear-facing camera with f/2.2 aperture, and a 2MP front-facing camera.

Both the rear-facing and front-facing cameras can be used at the same time.

Apple is purportedly working on the second-generation iPad mini with Retina display... And if the rumors are correct, the new tablet will not only see a bump in resolution, but in price as well. The iPad mini is already one of the priciest 7-inch tablets on the market at $329, and the newly announced HP Slate7 will be one of the most affordable tablets in the near future.

HP unveiled the Android Jelly Bean Slate7 on Sunday. Weighing just 13 ounces, and starting at just $169, the Slate7 sounds like a great tablet to take on the road. The 7-inch tablet is powered by an ARM Dual Core Cortex-A9 1.6 GHz processor, and features a 3-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a front-facing VGA camera for video chatting.
