#CES 2013

Lenovo has just announced its latest smartphone with a 5.5-inch display and powered by a dual-core Intel Atom processor - the IdeaPhone K900. When we were writing about the ten full-HD smartphones to watch out for in 2013, we were wondering what Lenovo has in store for us in this category. What's notable about this phablet is that it uses Intel's new dual-core Atom Z2580 processor clocked at 2GHz. Qualcomm has just announced its newest set of premium mobile processors for the next-generation high-end mobie computing devices - the Snapdragon 800 and Snapdragon 600 processors. The Snapdragon 800 is expected to be in commercial devices by mid-year 2013 while the Snapdragon 600 will be available in Q2 2013. Other than the two recently announced 5-inchers, it seems that Alcatel still has a pair of aces up its sleeves, and a thin and light one if we may add. The handset is packed with a 1.2GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM, a 4.7" HD (1280x720) Super AMOLED display and a pair of snappers; 1.3MP above the display and 8MP on the rear end. However, in exchange for its lighter frame, the One Touch Idol will feature a more modest specs which includes a 4.7-inch qHD IPS display and a 1.2GHz dual-core processor with 512MB RAM.
