Huawei debuts new Ascend Mate phablet

Huawei unveiled at IFA its new phablet, the Ascend Mate 7. This 6-inch device brings a bump in specs including a new 1080p display, 4100mAh battery, LTE Cat6 connectivity, and a single touch fingerprint sensor. Despite its size, it also has an amazingly thin bezel and 7.9mm thinness. It will also carry Huawei’s new Kirin 925 octa-core processor, which is made up of four large A15 1.8GHz and four small A7 1.3GHz chipsets. This big.LITTLE configuration means the 1.3GHz A7 cores will handle the lighter tasks, while the remaining four cores will take on the more processor-intensive apps.

The Ascend Mate 7 also packs in a 13-megapixel rear camera with a Sony sensor and 5-megapixel front-facing camera. It runs on Android 4.4 with Huawei’s EMUI 3.0 on top. It will come in two flavours: 16GB model with 2GB of RAM and 32GB model with 3GB of RAM. Prices so far are 499 and 599 Euros, respectively.

Google adds shareable link to Drive

Google just included a new way to share Drive links to others. With the new update, you don’t need to specify the email address of the person you’re sharing the files to. This time you get the option to get the URL to share the file. It will be view-only by default but you can also change that to allow for editing. Of course, this also comes with a risk. Anyone with access to the link can then edit the file if they want to. It’s best to just share this with people you trust. The update is rolling out as we speak so it might take a few days or so before it gets to your accounts.
