If you are after a phablet sized smartphone the leading contender at the moment in a lot of people’s eyes is the Samsung Galaxy Note2, but not everyone can afford such a flagship smartphone. Now though in the UK the Huawei Ascend Mate has been released that comes with quite a good asking price. The Huawei Ascend Mate has been around for a while now in certain regions with its massive 6.1-inch display, and UK online retailer Expansys has put the handset up for sale at £334.99. This is not a bad price for a handset with such a big display and is unlocked, but the listing does state that stock will only be ordered on request. For your money you get a mobile phone with a 6.1-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1200 x 800 that is powered by a quad core processor clocked at 1.5GHz. This is paired with 2GB of RAM on a device that also supports 4G LTE connectivity and runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Camera wise you are treated to an 8-megapixel rear facing shooter coupled with a 1-megapixel front facer for video conferencing, and the handsets comes supplied with a massive 4,050 mAh battery unit that promises up to 22 hours of talk time. The device will soon be coming up against the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 in the country though so many consumers will possibly wait for that to release in July instead, and yesterday we heard rumours that the company are looking to make a new handset with a screen size of 6.5-inches. Will you be getting the Huawei Ascend Mate?

Twitter is an extremely popular social media site, and like all other popular services, it suffers from its share of security concerns. Well, today Twitter is stepping up to help ease some of those security issues by introducing two-factor authentication for accounts. Basically, you can set up your account to require a confirmed phone number to verify you whenever you log into Twitter from a new location. This cuts down on unauthorized use from someone stealing your credentials and logging into your account miles away. Setup is simple; go to your account settings page, check the option to require a verification code when you sign in, and set up a phone number. Each time you try to log into Twitter after that, you’ll be sent a text message with a six-digit pin number that you’ll have to put in on Twitter to gain access to your account. As always, picking a strong password and not sharing it is the best way to keep your account secure, but accidents do happen, so it’s nice to have a fallback plan if and when they happen. source: Twitter Come comment on this article: Twitter introduces two-factor authentication for log-ins Visit TalkAndroid for Android news, Android guides, and much more!
