These tablets are dubbed as the Titanium line of devices by Archos, hence, each version of the device is called so and they just added numbers to indicate the size of the screen. The line range from a 7-incher to the largest being a 10.1-inch tablet. All are running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and all sport an HD display. The Archos 97 Titanium seems to be running away among the family in terms of the screen because it packs a 9.7" (2048x1536) screen. That's just amazing. The line also vary in CPU, from a dual-core to a quad-core.

That specific market of devices that Samsung started with their announcement of the Galaxy Note I back in 2011 has shown a lot of acceptance not only by the market but also by other OEMs. Lenovo is one of them with their announcement of their latest smartphone that is the world's first 1080p smartphone to be powered by an Intel Atom processor. Ans since it will technically be categorized as a phablet, it sports a 5.5" 1080p HD display.

At CES 2013, Acer is still in the tablet game of it all with their announcement of the Acer Iconia B1. It is poised to be the most inexpensive Android tablet you can buy with a brand on it (you, know a brand almost everyone knows). Acer did not say anything about its price though, unfortunately. Lastly, do not think that the Iconia B1 does not pack a punch when it comes to specs because it will be priced as low as Acer can put it.

The Sony Xperia ZL

Here's the other phone from Sony. This is the Sony Xperia ZL, announced together with the Xperia Z. Base on the specs, this device is the lesser of the two.

The Xperia Z, is officially the first smartphone to be announced in 2013 and has a long way to go from here. We still have to wait and see what smartphones the other OEMs out there will be announcing this year. For now, let us just enjoy the beauty and brilliance of the Xperia Z.
