Nexus 6 has a ‘hidden’ feature not seen on its specs list

October 18, 2014October 18, 2014 Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

Google’s homepage for the new Motorola Nexus 6 details its specs and lists down its notable features, but there might be something that they have missed – mentioning that the latest Nexus phone is water-resistant as well.

The official landing page for the Nexus 6 missed this rather important feature of the device. Thankfully, Motorola’s page included this information. According to their site, the Nexus 6 can withstand splashes of water just like the Moto X. Do take note that it’s just safe from splashes and cannot go for a full submersion like the Xperia Z3 (see our hands-on here). If you would check the website under the Water Resistant category, Motorola listed it down as “Yes” with no IP certification.

Google’s official site might not have found this info to be essential to its users thus eliminating the need to list it down. Although not fully waterproof, it’s still good to know that minor contact with water is repelled by the Nexus 6.

The Bartec Pixavi Impact X is probably the toughest smartphone that will soon be available. In addition to the usual water- and dust-proofing of phones, it boasts being imperishable to impact, drop, corrosion, and explosion. Yes, you read that right. It runs on an Android Jelly Bean OS and has dual rear cameras as part of its unique functionality.

Bartec Pixavi Impact X specs:
4.3-inch display @ 800 x 480 resolution
Glove-compatible capacitive touch
2mm-thick Gorilla Glass
Flipscape one-hand videography
Captures 8-megapixel images

Bluetooth 4.0
3G, HSPA+
Wi-Fi
150 x 65 x 12mm
200 grams
3,000mAh battery

Ruggedness:
Impact: 2-Joule impact proof

The Norway-made Impact X also brings to the table its Flipscape technology that basically lets users shoot videos in landscape mode even if they hold the device upright thanks to its dual rear camera (8MP each). This “smartphone on steroids” still has no release date but is reported to sell around $1,000. The company gives a detailed rundown on the Impact X over at their website.

New HTC J Butterfly launched, is a waterproof One M8

July 31, 2014July 31, 2014 Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

Japanese telecom carrier KDDI launches the new HTC J Butterfly in Japan. It is basically a One M8 but with new and improved specs and features. Head past the break for more details.

HTC J Butterfly specs:
5-inch Full HD Super LCD 3 @ 1920 x 1080 resolution, 441ppi
Corning Gorilla Glass
Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 2.45GHz quad-core processor
Adreno 330 GPU
2GB RAM
32GB internal storage (expandable via microSD)
13MP rear camera with secondary depth sensor
5MP front camera
4G LTE
Support for Dot View Case
Waterproof
Android 4.4 KitKat

As you may have notied, the One M8’s original 4MP Ultrapixel camera gets revamped to a 13MP sensor but with the same secondary camera for depth of field shots. HTC also opted to give up on its BoomSound speakers to make it waterproof, so the company is giving a free JBL in-ear headset along with the package.

We’re still waiting for the announcement if it will be available outside Japan. But with the availability of its lineup locally there’s a big chance we’ll be seeing this new Butterfly emerge out of its cocoon in no time.
