- First ASUS G55VW gaming laptop configuration spotted and priced
ASUS‘s G-series has been warming the laps of gamers for a while, whether it’s the smart G74 or the elder statesman G73JH. The newest splinter of the G-team, however, is the G55 line. Right now, it’s the G55VW-DS71 that’s just had its specifications splayed out for all to see. It’ll be a quad-core i7-3610QM Ivy Bridge chip calling the shots, with a 2GB NVIDIA GTX 660M providing graphical backup. A solid 12GB of DDR3, 1,333MHz RAM and a 750GB HDD will come with the configuration mentioned here. There are two drive bays, though, so you can set it up to your liking, and higher spec versions of this 15.6″ machine will be coming in the future. It’s only up for pre-order at the moment, but $1,475 will make sure it finds its way to you once released, hopefully around the end of this month — the Intel gods willing.

Optimum | Email this | Comments - Sprint discontinues HTC EVO 3D online, limited quantities remain at retail stores
It’s not like we’re gonna argue with Sprint’s rationale, but the EVO 3D has met its end at the Now Network. Visitors to the carrier’s online store will notice that the gee-whiz smartphone is no longer available for sale, and Sprint reps have confirmed to us that it’s not coming back. Those who insist on owning an EVO 3D will be glad to know that the handset is still available at Sprint’s retail outlets, but according to the carrier, quantities are rather limited. Given a phone that debuted less than a year ago, its abrupt and unceremonious demise comes as a bit of a shock, but with the mighty EVO 4G LTE on the horizon, we can’t blame the carrier one bit.

Week 16 in review: All about the Galaxy Fold, OnePlus 7/7 Pro, Pixel 3a/3a XL
Welcome to your recap of the week's hottest tech stories. Week 16 of the year marked the first live encounters with the Galaxy Fold across the web (and here at GSMArena HQ) and it didn't take long for the first issues to arise. Several of the early units' displays malfunctioned and while removing the protective layer on top of the screen was the explanation for some of them, other seemingly were just defective. Samsung issued a statement that it will look into the display issues and that users are not to remove the protective layer and that this would be made clear to buyers in the...
Weekly poll: rear vs. selfie camera, which is more important?
This week we saw the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G claim the title of "Best selfie camera", at least according to DxOMark. The phone's rear camera matched the score of the Huawei P30 Pro, which previously ruled alone. This along with the results from last week's poll got us wondering about front and rear cameras - which one is more important to you? We're well past the era when phones had only one camera (and it was on the back), yet for one reason or another the rear camera is still treated as more important and gets the better hardware. There are exceptions, for example, the Realme U1, has a...
Samsung Galaxy S10e vs. Apple iPhone XR
Samsung Galaxy Fold in for review
When we received an invitation to give the Samsung Galaxy Fold a try, we immediately jumped the plane and headed to Samsung's office. There, an Astro Blue unit was waiting for us, and we already shared our initial impressions of the device. Now, however, we have the phone at HQ and we are eager to put it through its paces and see where it fits in the bigger picture. The first thing you see when you open the box is the majestic 4:3 OLED screen in an unfolded manner. It is pretty much a standard 7.3" tablet which, thanks to Samsung, you can now put comfortably in your pocket. And when it...
Weekly poll results: Oppo Reno 10x zoom edges out Samsung Galaxy A80
The Oppo Reno 10x zoom prevailed in last week's poll, beating the Samsung Galaxy A80 by a healthy margin. The rivalry between these two goes beyond selfie camera vs. rear camera, though these are clearly major parts of the phones' identities. The Oppo Reno 10x zoom will be only the second phone on the market to deliver a 160mm telephoto lens (same focal length as the P30 Pro, despite the possible confusion caused by the "x zoom" rating). Plus, people have more faith in the reliability of the shark fin pop-up selfie camera. A80's 48MP camera is used for selfies and normal photos ...
