Notebook reviews with PowerVR SGX531 graphics card

Review LG G Pro Lite Dual D686 Smartphone

Review LG G Pro Lite Dual D686 Smartphone

Slimming mania. The review sample's big brother completely convinced us in the editorial office. Users who were looking forward to a comparable version with a dual-SIM feature will, however, be disappointed. The South Korean manufacturer has slimmed down the tech specs to such an extent that neither smartphone has much in common apart from the screen size and name.

Review Lenovo IdeaTab A1000 Tablet

Entry-level revisited. Lenovo releases a budget-friendly 7-inch tablet with Android OS and low-power hardware. Can the bargain-basement offering from the well-know manufacturer hold its own or have the cost-saving measures been taken too far?

Review ZTE Grand X Pro Smartphone

A phone with an X – will it succeed? The Chinese manufacturer ZTE is expanding into foreign markets. The 4.5-inch, mid-priced Grand X Pro smartphone is to help achieve this. We examined whether it might just be a home run.

Review Acer Liquid E1 Duo Smartphone

Liquid and good? Acer's Liquid E1 Duo is a dual SIM smartphone with a 4.5-inch IPS display, a Mediatek MT 6577 SoC including a PowerVR SGX531, and 1 GB of RAM, that is positioned in the fiercely contested budget class below 200 Euros (~$263). In addition there are 4 GB of storage space that can be expanded via a microSD card and Android 4.1, Jelly Bean. Our detailed review shows whether this mix rocks.

Review LG E460 Optimus L5 II Smartphone

The mainstream "L". LG not only delivers high-end smartphones like the LG Optimus G or the Google nexus 4, the Korean company also produces smartphones for the medium price range. We have a closer look at the new 4-inch mainstream device, the Optimus L5 II.
