Over the past few days we have been using a new slate from Huawei and so far what we have seen within this time-frame we have been mighty impressed with a gigantic 4100 mAh non re-moveable battery,you will struggle to kill it,even for heavy power-users, this is where in most phones let us down but not here..
With a solid construction surrounded by metal again build quality is premium,with its chamfered edges and slight curve on the back it sits comfortably in hand despite its 6 inch dimension its just 7.9mm thin, The screen is also sporting Corning Gorilla glass 3.Lets take a look at the device first in pictures,click to enlarge and then we will talk some more.
Running on Android 4,2,2 is a bit behind but still it works quite well with Emotion UI 3.0 and there is literally tonnes of settings and quirks to personalise your device,there is some preloaded content but not really a problem,With a 6 inch display and thin bezel media content is a joy to watch on this behemoth,it feels smaller than the Nexus 6 and most tasks simply zip along with no lag. The 13MP rear snapper is quite good with plenty of setting to play with for camera fans so there is no worries in this department,With a 5 MP front camera it passes for the selfies but that would be it.The well placed fingerprint sensor is a great idea and uselful in more ways than one,it can also be used to snap photos too,With 2GB RAM andQuad-core 1.8 GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.3 GHz CPU IT has proved no issues multitasking and with the option to expand up to 128GB via micro sd there is plenty of space to stack this device with content and not fear about battery.. Check out our walk-through of the Mate 7 and if you have any questions fire away..The Ascend mate costs between €380 -€500 euro depending where you,look,for the price if you can get it cheap its worth the money,every penny of it.
It will not be long before we see the release of the One Plus 2 which is highly anticipated,price though has been a factor with the current One Plus one costing buttons people have wanted to know what the cost of the new device would be and now we have an answer,its more than its predecessor but is it too high ?
It will cost less than $450 dollar CEO Pete Lau says so can we assume it will be $449.99 that’s how things typically are advertised in general but we shall wait and see,will this price put you off or keep you waiting,considered what the One Plus One gave us for its price it is hardly a reason to complain is it. ?? With the recent updates and what we know of the One Plus 2 it would be safe to say it will be a good deal,we shall know more when the device is revealed shortly..see the related posts section for other news.
Shuff is a new realtime messenger app that has landed on iOS that claims to be ahead of its time,so lets take a look and see what this new messenger app has and how can it can compete with multiple competitors in the messenger scene today..Firstly we asked Cyril Trosset who is the founder of the app to tell us how it all began.
The Shuff story
We won’t tell you Shuff was born in a garage.That the application has been developed by a geek, bored in his student room. No.Shuff tells a lot of us, our friendship and our different ways.Freshly graduated engineers, designer, communicant, paralegal and financial man, our profiles are diverse but we always shared a passion for new technologies.The Shuff project was born from that wish to use the new technologies to create the first direct messenger, really direct.At first, it was just an idea, to have fun for a summer, and finally: a fast messenger, innovating and the more interactive it can be. And mostly fun.
Who has never dreamed of communicating faster? Sending a message without pressing “send”? Not waiting to receive the answer you hope for? Sorry? You want more? You want to see what your friend is typing? Shuff can do it for you. Shuff revolutionizes the way we communicate, by offering users the ability to follow a conversation letter by letter, as it is typed. Our famous Oxford Dictionary specifies: « Instant »: [usually before noun] happening immediately..
The real definition of an instant messenger. “Today, thousands of applications offer to chat with friends, but none of them propose to do it in real-time. Here is where Shuff innovates. And amazes,“ the project founder, Cyril, explains. The fully secured application does not keep any record of the conversation: there is no history. And, for more privacy, the letters of the messages are mixed so that, only the first and the last letter of each word remains in its original place, to permit reading without any difficulties. The others letters are “shuffed“ (meaning randomly mixed), which provides more privacy from prying eyes (no need for a college degree to decrypt the shuffed messages).
Shuff is an international application. I’m drinking some wine with my friend on a terrace in New York, I’m sending a pic to my friend in Lisbon right now. I’m drawing a (very good) portrait of my sister in the drawroom with my brother. I share my location while I’m in Los Angeles and talking with my cousin in London, still under the rain (any use of existing “clichés” is purely coincidental). By the way, what time is it over there? Don’t worry, Shuff indicates to you the local time of your friend with whom you are conversing, if he or she is long distance or abroad.
The App itself.. Shuff is a real-time messenger app which allows you to see word for word what the person at the other end is typing,this factor I like and think its a great idea,personally im not one to spend all day sending text but this is something I like nonetheless.Another great feature in the app is that it shows you the local time of the person too,this is also good,if only something like this was on Twitter as I spend most of my day conversing there and its with others from all over the world…
Shuff is an app with no history. Only the last sent message of your conversation appears. But you can “favorite” a message with an up-swipe, and find it later in the Favorites menu.
Create masterpieces with your friends in the Drawroom. Everyone can draw on the same board, using different brushes and colors. You can also share your best pictures.
Who is Shuff for.
Anyone who wishes to find out the direct messenger, really direct! Anyone who wants to stay in touch with friends and family, Anyone who is sick of waiting for receiving a message but want to follow its writing, Anyone who looks to save time, Anyone who wants to share everything, Anyone who dreams of having fun while chatting, Anyone who wants to express its artistry
Shuff your messages! You can choose to mix the letters of each word, all but the first and last letter. It’s fun decrypting messages, and provides more privacy from prying eyes. If you like, you can send shuffed messages via text or Whatsapp or post it to Facebook or Twitter.
Another feature is the ability to talk to your friends with your identity kept secret. The “anonymous” mode is an enjoyable and safe way to have fun with your friends.
Shuff is also available for the Apple watch..
You can download Shuff over HERE for free.. Share your thoughts below if you have used or tried this new app which looks quite good to me,also we wish to thank Cyril Trosset for getting in touch with us..

The email as follows reads…. Now first look at the email address (come on lads try harder please)

Microsoft is on a roll with the development and refinement of the upcoming Windows 10 OS. On Tuesday Microsoft had announced the Build 10159, for the users who have signed up for the Insider Program, with the very futuristic logo and wallpaper, today its a surprise for the fast ring (ones who have opted to get the unpolished and raw OS even before it is made available to everyone).
The head of OD development for Microsoft, Gabriel Aul tweeted
In the official blog Gabriel Aul said that since it’s going to be an extended weekend in the USA he was excited to unveil the Build 10162 to the fast ring and then to slow ring if there aren’t any issues detected.
Gab Aul added
Build 10162 is another great one. In fact, our testing and internal telemetry metrics show it has better reliability, performance, battery life, and compatibility than any Windows 10 Insider Preview build so far.
It’s good to see that Windows10 is getting in shape in good time and we are hopeful that the final OS should be ready soon and are very excited.
The Nexus 6 has just received a price cut here in Ireland but just on the Play Store,having looked at other prices from the like of Argos the price still remains at the higher end touching €525.
However if you now head to the Play Store you can enjoy a better deal starting at €424.39 for the 32GB model and its €459.99,these are pretty good prices so if you want to avail act fast as Google have not mentioned these cuts anywhere..
