HTC M8 Ace is official, features plastic body with a 13MP camera

We’ve seen/heard enough about the HTC M8 Ace to know it was a real thing. Said to be a lower cost version of the HTC One M8, the HTC M8 Ace has finally been made official in China. The phone popped up on HTC’s Chinese site ahead of its formal June 3rd release, but it finally gives us a better idea of what to expect when it launches.

Just about everything about the phone has been revealed, down to its Snapdragon 801 processor, 13MP camera, 5MP front facing camera, stereo front facing BoomSound speakers, and compatibility with China Mobile’s 4G LTE network. Looks like HTC’s forfeited the IR blaster and aluminum construction of the One M8 for something a little more wallet friendly.


Only problem is HTC still isn’t talking pricing on this handsets. As we mentioned before, it’s like a lite version of the HTC One M8 and for some, a better option for those that don’t care about universal remote functionality or premium materials. We don’t expect to see this launch stateside anytime soon, but we’ll keep you posted.

LG G Watch running early version of Android Wear gets the hands-on treatment [VIDEO]

It’s only been a day since we saw LG unveil their latest flagship — the LG G3 — during their London launch event. Well, it looks like that’s not all they were showing, as some crafty folks from the German tech site AppDated managed to also get their hands on the upcoming LG G Watch, rumored to be shown off during this year’s Google I/O.

The smartwatch, which can be seen in their hands-on video, is still running a very early version of Android Wear (Google’s new Android software built specifically for wearables). It’s so early in fact, that an actual clock face wasn’t loaded on the device, but we do get to see how the OS behaves to some extent. Swiping from the top of the display showed some basic system information like the battery level, while a an ever present Google Now button hovered over some basic options.


Really it’s not much and while we’re not entirely sure how we feel about the 3-tone white/gold/black combo, we think the black version is better suited for our tastes.
