Samsung Galaxy S5 mini

SM-G800H_GS5 mini_White_Duos_2_500Samsung’s Galaxy S5 mini on has the same looks as the S5, including its dimpled back cover but its processor is clocked at only 1.4GHz instead of 2.5GHz, and its 4.5″ screen has a resolution of 720×1280 pixels, down from the S5’s 5.1″, 1920×1080 pixel display.

There’s less memory (1.5Gb of RAM instead of 2Gb) and internal storage (16Gb instead of 32Mb), and a smaller battery too: 2,100mAh compared to the S5’s 2,800mAh.

The S5 mini’s rear-facing 8MP camera has half the resolution of the S5’s. Both, though, have a microSD card slot that can accept up to 64GB of additional storage.

The new model runs Android 4.4, and can connect to 4G LTE and 3G HSDPA networks.

Price: Varies by operator

Panasonic 3E

Panasonic debuted the ruggedised, 10″ 3E tablet at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Conference.

The tablet with a camera sensor that can be covered by an attachable magnifying lens, turning it into a microscope of sorts. A temperature sensor is also included. Behind the 10″ 1366×768 LCD five-point touch display lies an 1.3GHz Atom AZ3740D quad-core chip from Intel, 2Gb of RAM, as well as either 32Gb or 64Gb of flash storage. The 3E is powered by the Windows 8.1 Pro operating system.

Intel, interestingly, showed off a nearly identical hybrid at a recent “future” event, offering a glimpse of future technologies such as its vision of a connected car and its RealSense cameras built into tablets and laptops.

Panasonic designed the tablet for the rigors of the classroom, with dust and water resistance, and the ability to withstand a 70cm drop.

Price: $499
