Nintendo's 3DS XL had a bigger screen, was more comfortable to hold and doubled its internal storage. What did it lack? No secondary analog stick, a compelling digital content offering and any sort of oomph under the hood. Those three were nearly deal breakers for our reviewer, who said the handheld was good, but not enough to convince you to upgrade. But was our own Mr. Smith right to damn the console with his faint praise? Share your experiences of owning this device with us in the comments below.

LG SHOWCASES LATEST OLED MASTERPIECE AT IFA 2013

A True Work of Art, LG's GALLERY OLED TV Combines
Superb Design with Ultimate Picture Quality and Stunning Sound


SEOUL, Sep. 2, 2013 - LG Electronics (LG) will unveil its newest OLED product, GALLERY OLED TV (Model 55EA8800) at IFA 2013 in Berlin, Germany. A stylish addition to the company's next generation TV lineup, the new model features an elegantly understated frame that incorporates the powerful yet unobtrusive Canvas Speaker. The unique design and impressive audio capabilities of the GALLERY OLED TV complement LG's industry leading OLED TV lineup. As the first wall-mountable 55-inch OLED TV ever produced, the GALLERY OLED TV is an eye-catching statement of LG's excellence in television technology and design.

"Our GALLERY OLED TV comprises the perfect blend of subtle beauty, unmatched picture quality and immersive sound," said Havis Kwon, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company. "Challenging the status quo, this beautifully designed and engineered product is a clear example of our ability to think beyond the ordinary and provide consumers with a differentiated experience."

Stylish Picture Frame with Canvas Speakers
Like a priceless painting, the 55EA8800's stunning 55-inch screen is bordered by an aesthetically pleasing frame. More than just an attractive design detail, the frame conceals a 2.2 channel sound system that features LG's new Canvas Speakers. Cleverly disguised within a faux art mat, the forward-facing Canvas Speakers enhance the viewing experience with rich, full-bodied audio. In keeping with the artistic theme, Gallery Mode enables the user to view high-resolution digital images of paintings by legendary artists such as Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin. Gallery Mode also makes it possible to watch a slide show of one's favorite personal or family photos.

Ultimate Picture Quality
Earlier this year, LG captured the attention of consumers, the media and the home entertainment industry by being the first company to commercially launch both the 55-inch OLED TV and the 55-inch CURVED OLED TV. The company's groundbreaking OLED TVs employ proprietary WRGB technology, which incorporates an additional white sub-pixel, guaranteeing the sharpest, most lifelike images. LG's incredibly slim and lightweight OLED TVs offer an impressively wide viewing angle, ensuring perfect picture quality regardless of the viewer's position.
GALLERY OLED TV will be launched this month in Germany with other markets to follow.

Visitors to IFA will be able to experience the GALLERY OLED TV first-hand at the LG Electronics stand in Hall 11.2 of Messe Berlin.

Lenovo CEO shares $325 million of his bonus with employees again after record year

After helping Lenovo thrive in the wretched PC industry -- while also making it the number one Chinese smartphone maker -- CEO Yang Yuanqing earned a sizeable bonus. And like last year, he's sharing the wealth with front-line employees, giving $3.25 million of his $14.6 million salary to 10,000 workers in 20 countries. Lenovo grabbed a record $34 billion during its last fiscal year, along with an all-time high $653 million in profit. While the sum he shared may be small compared to that, it's almost a month's pay for the 85 percent who work in China. And we can't say we've seen too many CEOs stateside willing to part with their personal private jet fuel stash.

Meizu MX3 unveiled with Exynos 5 Octa, 51inch screen, Wolfson audio and 128GB option

Ahead of main rival Xiaomi's big event later this week, Meizu has today unveiled its latest Android device, the MX3, at the Beijing National Aquatics Center. Like many recent flagship phones, this one finally breaks the previous 4.4-inch barrier to make way for a 5.1-inch display, though with an odd 1,800 x 1,080, 15:9 panel from Sharp and JDI to follow Meizu's string of odd aspect ratios. At the same time, the manufacturer has managed to keep the screen bezel at 2.9mm thick, making the carefully curved body 72mm wide (as well as 9.1mm thick and 143g heavy). This is apparently the result of Jack Wong's 30-plus handcrafted wooden prototypes, followed by some 3D scanning. Read on for more.

Update: Our hands-on post is up as well! Meizu MX3 unveiled with Exynos 5 Octa, 5.1-inch screen, Wolfson audio and 128GB option See all photos 29 Photos

when.eng("eng.galleries.init")

As a close buddy of Samsung's semiconductor division, it's no surprise to see Meizu embracing an Exynos 5 Octa SoC for the MX3. Assuming It's the same 5410 variant as used by the Galaxy S 4, we should be looking at with quad Cortex-A15 1.6GHz cores plus quad Cortex-A7 1.2GHz cores, along with 2GB of RAM and SGX544 MP3 graphics. As for the camera, rather than joining the 13-megapixel hype, Meizu's opted for Sony's third-generation 8-megapixel sensor, along with a fast f/2.0 lens (with second-gen sapphire glass), zero-delay image stabilization and a Fujitsu ISP that helps enable capture speed of up to 20fps. Sadly, the front-facing imager has a resolution of just 2-megapixels, which is dwarfed by many other Chinese options.

Another notable feature is that the MX3 comes with a Wolfson audio chip, which apparently enables a high 113dB signal-to-noise ratio plus a low distortion rate of just 0.002 percent. Like some of the latest Chinese flagship phones, you'll also find Dirac HD codec and a dedicated audio amplifier on the here. On a related subject, the MX3 has a triple-mic setup -- just like the Moto X -- for improved voice quality.

As you'd expect, this new phone comes with a common bundle of radios: NFC, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS. CEO Bai Yongxiang, previously a lead engineer at the company, also boasted the MX3's patented antenna technology that enables much better cellular reception than the iPhone 5, while at the same time keeping the specific absorption rate lower than said competitor. For those wondering, the MX3 will be launched with WCDMA radio, meaning its 3G connection will work in most parts of the world.

Meizu MX3 unveiled with Exynos 5 Octa, 51inch screen and Wolfson audio chip

With so many goodies included, Meizu thinks the 2,400mAh Sony cell can still provide 9 hours of 3G browsing, 10 on Wi-Fi or 7 hours of 1080p video playback. The CEO also assured the audience that the phone has much improved heat dissipation, crediting a dual-layer design to separate CPU heat and display heat. Of course, only time will tell if this is as good as it sounds.

Last but not least, MX3 comes with Flyme 3.0, Meizu's latest custom Android ROM. We won't name all the improvements, but there are a total of 324 updated interaction features (like pull-down to refresh, plus self-repositioning soft keys that adapt to your finger habits), 1,579 updated visual features (like cleaner icons and optimized notification bar layout), an AirDrop-like file-sharing feature and new camera filters. Oh, and China-based users can enjoy the Duomi music store, LeTV video store and Lakala payment service straight out of the box. We'll dig into these in our eventual review.

There's no word on international availability just yet, but for those who are based in China, you can now make a reservation and then pick up an MX3 starting from the second half of September. The price goes from CN¥2,499 (about US$410) for the 16GB model, all the way up to CN¥3,999 (US$650) for a whopping 128GB option -- a first for smartphones! Looks like Meizu's got all the right ingredients on paper this time, but we'll have a better idea once we get our hands on the phone.

A Touch More Touch Notebooks @ IFA

Editor's Summary:
• Designed for touch, the Aspire R7 now features a 4th generation Intel processor and Acer Active Pen to make the most use of its flexible design
• Touch-screen display models and new colours enhance the thin & light Aspire E1 series

BERLIN, Sept. 2, 2013 – Acer today announced its award-winning Aspire R7 notebook now includes the latest 4th generation Intel processor and an Acer Active Pen to further redefine the notebook touch experience. Designed to provide the best environment for both touch and typing, the R7 features a repositioned keyboard and high-definition touchscreen mounted on a revolutionary "Ezel hinge" that allows it to flip, reverse, lie flat or float.

Unveiled in May, the Aspire R7 has won several awards for its revolutionary design, including the best Choice Award at Computex 2013, the Red Dot Award for product design, and the Computex d&i Award.

Acer also unveiled additional trendy colours for the Aspire E1 notebook line as well as a 10 point multi-touch display option with a range of graphic solutions for everyday computing.

Aspire R7 – A touch more apps with active pen support

With four modes of operation, the R7 can easily be used as a traditional notebook, a table top pad, a display, or switched into "Ezel" mode, allowing the screen to float over the keyboard at various angles. Whether sitting or standing, at a desk or outdoors, users can always find the most suitable and comfortable way to use the R7, seamlessly transitioning from one mode to the other, from touching to typing, then from writing to drawing.

The Ezel Hinge makes it easy to flip the 15.6-inch full HD 1920 x 1080 touchscreen around to share visuals, games and more with others. The dual hinge technology allows for single-hand switching between modes and keeps the display rock-steady when touched. The keyboard is closer to the edge of the chassis, making typing more comfortable since there is no need to stretch your arms over palm rest and touchpad, keys fall naturally under the fingers and typing becomes more relaxing.

The Aspire R7 now comes with the new Acer Active Pen, so users can enjoy greater accuracy and a more comfortable feel when writing and drawing. The Acer Active pen uses electromagnetic induction technology and responds to varying degrees of pressure sensitivity like an actual pen, resulting in a greater range of pen strokes and more natural writing. The Acer Active Pen can be used with gesture controls at the same time, so customers can for example resize a picture with the pinching gesture and adjust fine details with the pen.

To make the most of the touch experience, the R7 packs a set of new useful and fun touch apps. There is always a story behind a picture and Acer MemoryBinder realistic paint brush effects helps users tell it, adding colour and feelings. With Acer ScreenGrasp any image can easily be captured, personalised and shared to social networks or pasted to office documents. Acer Scrapboard makes it easy to collect images and ideas from the web for future reference or for a project or to share them. Acer AccuFinger is designed to help users acquire tiny items on the screen more accurately when using their fingers.

Aspire R7 – A touch more performance

When the display is slid back behind the keyboard, you have a powerful, full featured notebook computer that is now available with Intel's 4th generation processor for great performance and efficiency. It also features up to 12GB of memory, up to 1TB hard drive (or up to 256GB SSD), and full-size backlit keyboard. Users can also take advantage of Windows 8.1 that offers new ways to personalize the PC and includes plenty of awesome new apps and services.

Aspire R7 – A touch more entertainment

Offering a superior audio visual experience, the R7's powerful features and high-definition display are complemented by a premium sound system with Dolby Home Theater and four 8-watt speakers. Because of its transformative design, the audio channels automatically reverse when switching modes, so stereo sound is always perfect.

In addition, the dual microphones have been placed at the front and at the base of the notebook below the keyboard. This provides for the best voice sound quality, and enhances the aesthetics of the touchscreen by eliminating the need for holes in the bezel.

Aspire E1- A touch of daily computing with ease

The Aspire E1 notebook series bundles the latest Intel 4th generation or AMD A-Series processors and graphics technologies to deliver customers rich entertainment and day-to-day productivity at an affordable price. New models in the series are now available with a 10 point multi-touch display to tap and swipe away through the web, apps, photos and more.

To maximize entertainment with colourful and crisp images, the Aspire E1 notebooks series is available in two high-definition display sizes – 39.6 cm (15.6") and 35.6 cm (14") – as well as with a choice of graphic solutions. The 15.6" model supports various discrete graphics options, such as NVIDIA GT720M, NVIDIA GT740M and AMD Radeon™ HD 8000M, while the 14" version is available with NVIDIA GT720M graphics. Favourite movies can be displayed on a bigger screen thanks to the HDMI port.

Thinner than previous generations, the Aspire E1 series has the slimmest form factor within its price segment. The updated notebook line is now available in a wide selection of colours to choose from: the 14-inch model comes in elegant Misty Silver, Piano Black and Keyboard White while the 15.6-inch comes in Clarinet Black, Cherry Red and Steel Grey. The chicklet keyboard provides comfortable typing, while the compact design makes these notebooks perfect to be carried wherever you go.
The icing on the cake is that the E1 series is shipped with M-DISC Ready Drive™, which means users can keep their priceless memories and data safe virtually for ever on M-DISCS™.

Pricing and Availability*

The Aspire R7 will be available in Europe, Middle East and Africa in Q4 2013 with a suggested price of €999.-.

The Aspire E1 will be available mid-October with a suggested price starting at €399.-.

Sky becomes first UK TV network to broadcast live 4K

Remember how we'd heard that a British broadcaster is trialing 4K TV? We have a hunch as to which company that is: Sky now claims that it's the first UK TV network to have conducted a live 4K broadcast. The firm captured a weekend Premier League match in ultra high resolution using the same infrastructure it normally requires for a live show, with satellites delivering a feed to the company's Isleworth broadcast center. Commercial service remains distant, mind you -- Sky requires both more research and wider adoption of 4K TVs to justify an upgrade. If everything falls into place, though, Sky could have an advantage over rival providers that have yet to venture beyond HD.

Welcome to IRL, an ongoing feature where we talk about the gadgets, apps and toys we're using in real life and take a second look at products that already got the formal review treatment.
IRL: JBL PlayUp speaker and the BlackBerry Q5

Is it pandering to have one of our Canadian writers play with every new BlackBerry? Perhaps -- not that we could've stopped him anyway. In this week's issue, we have Mr. Jon Fingas sharing his thoughts on the Q5 and its physical keyboard, while Philip splurges on JBL speakers to match his new Lumia 1020.

JBL PlayUp speakerIRL JBL PlayUp speaker and the BlackBerry Q5

I can't be the only one who follows up a significant purchase with a bit of accessorizing. And so it was with my recent acquisition of a banana yellow Lumia 1020; shortly after that purchase, I caught wind of a discount on JBL's Nokia-branded PlayUp speakers (normally around $150) and decided to take one for a spin.

Despite the Nokia branding on the front and the Lumia-themed colors, JBL's PlayUp worked with every Bluetooth-equipped audio source I tried (Lumia 1020, Nexus 4, iPad mini, MacBook Air). My NFC-toting Lumia had little trouble connecting with the PlayUp once I found exactly where on my phone to tap. (Pro tip: practice this before you try wowing loved ones with your NFC magic.) Beyond that, a removable bottom panel houses an audio cable to use with the PlayUp's 3.5mm jack. A replaceable, rechargeable battery also hides behind that panel and powers the speaker for a claimed 10 hours.

The unit itself is shaped a bit like the bottom half of a 2-liter bottle of Coke, with a large speaker grille covering the top. Sadly, my particular unit arrived with a small dent in said grille, but the device appeared otherwise unmarred. Peer into that large grille and you'll spot a trio of upward-facing drivers, providing what JBL bills as "room-filling, 360-degree sound."

As it turns out, JBL's claims aren't far off the mark. Even short of full blast, the PlayUp capably produced room-filling, though not quite room-shaking sound. It had no trouble supplying audio to every corner of the largest rooms in our house and kept up outdoors as well. A bass port on the side helped keep lower tones from becoming a muddled mess, but the PlayUp obviously can't compete with a dedicated subwoofer. That said, this little speaker handled everything from the Pacific Rim soundtrack to Daft Punk to Metallica's notoriously compressed Death Magnetic. Unfortunately, the PlayUp lacks the nifty pairing option seen on the earlier Play 360 speakers, which enabled two devices to connect for stereo sound. Oh, and that "10-hour" claim? Spot on, so far. After just over 10 hours of elapsed playback, a little light began flashing to warn me the party would soon be over. After a quick recharge with the supplied micro-USB / power adapter, I'm ready to rock some more.

BlackBerry Q5 on Telus

IRL JBL PlayUp speaker and the BlackBerry Q5One of the knocks against the BlackBerry Q5 has been its relatively high off-contract price -- a big obstacle in countries where prepaid service is common. However, it's now on sale at larger Canadian carriers for an easier-to-swallow price of $50 with a two-year contract. With that in mind, I've been trying the Q5 on Telus to see whether I can recommend the mid-range QWERTY phone when it's discounted through a steep subsidy.

In some ways, I've enjoyed using it. Although my colleague Dan ragged on the Q5 keyboard's low quality, I don't mind it; to me, the keys have that same reassuringly clicky feel as better Curve models of years past. We're in agreement regarding the above-average battery life, at least. Where I couldn't even get through an afternoon with the Q10 when it launched, the Q5 really can last all day with moderate use on Telus' LTE network. Friends with Q10s say that the battery life gap has narrowed through software updates, but I'd be tempted to pick the Q5 over the Q10 just because I know it would still carry a charge by the evening.

With that said, it's clear that the Q5 is a lower-end device. It's chunky, and it isn't quite as reassuring to grip as the Q10. The 5-megapixel camera performs well enough in bright light, but it's otherwise nothing to write home about. And while the 3.1-inch AMOLED screen is vibrant, its size and square aspect ratio are frustrating for those who love movies and social networking. For that reason, I'd rather have the Z10 -- it gives app content the room it needs to breathe, and BlackBerry's touchscreen keyboard is good enough that I don't miss hardware keys at all.

In isolation, the Q5 feels worth the $50 contract price. However, it's a much tougher sell when you see what else is on offer. As of this writing, bigger Canadian carriers are selling the more capable Z10 for that same $50. On Telus, you can buy a Nexus 4 or Galaxy S III for less; hop over to Bell and you can pick up the Q10 for $80. Fans of hardware keyboards will still want to give the Q5 a close look, but it really ought to be free on contract given its competition.
