We just saw Oppo reveal their latest smartphone, the R819, an effort to make a well engineered smartphone that’s not too hard on your wallet. Speaking of your wallet, we have just been notified that the R819 is now available for pre order in three countries, namely Australia, Japan and Hong Kong. For 399$ in AUD, the device seems a bit pricier for the specs, but since this is just a pre order price, we reserve judgement until Oppo reveals their global price in USD. People from Hong Kong can get it for HK$2,798 and the Japanese can get it for 36,000 JPY, all from the third party retailer online retailer Expansys.
Update: The official Oppo Style site has now listed the R819 for a 349$ USD(roughly converts to 21K INR) pre order.
Oppo, the Chinese company well known for its flagship product – the Oppo Find 5, has just revealed the latest product in its portfolio, the R819. The Oppo R819 comes with a stunningly svelte frame, measuring just 7.3mm in thickness and weighing 110g in weight. Although this is thicker than the company’s own 6.65mm Finder smartphone, it is still a considerable achievement due to all the modern specs the device boasts. It has a 4.7 inch 1280×720 resolution IPS screen that promises to have really good viewing angles thanks OGS(One glass solution). Other specs are pretty normal, which includes a 8 megapixel camera and a MediaTek MT6589 Quad Core processor. It runs on Android 4.2.1 JellyBean but can run Oppo’s own Color ROM as well as the stock Android ROM thanks to the unlocked bootloader out of the box.

A report published by the Korea Economic Daily states that Samsung might be about to announce a 12 inch tablet as soon as October. The Daily mentions that the company has been engaged in development of the tablet which will dwarf Samsung’s 11.6 inch tablet. The 11.6 inch tablet is currently Samsung’s largest tablet.
The new report corroborates another report earlier this year that mentioned that Samsung plans to introduce a tablet around the 12 inch mark. It is believed that it’ll have the same screen resolution as that on the Nexus 10 ie 2560×1600. This would make it one of the most crisp displays out there. Interestingly, Apple is also believed to be working on a larger tablet of their own and this could be seen as Samsung’s move to compete with Cupertino for that audience.
