Another from Google, The Nexus 6 Release Date: 5 Expected Features of Googles Flagship Smartphone
Google has not revealed the release date of its flagship smartphone, Nexus 6 but it is widely expected to be released after Googles I/O Developers Conference on 24 June or early July. Now, several reports on the features of the device have also surfaced.
Googles VP Sundar Pichai had earlier hinted at the Mobile World Congress that the new Nexus smartphone would be released only in the last quarter of the year. The device will have to take on Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One (M8) if it is launched in June or July, and iPhone 6 if it is released in October as hinted by Pichai.
Here are five expected features of Google Nexus 6:
1. Display: Nexus 6 is expected to sport a 5.2-inch full HD and curved LCD display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. The handset is also expected to be thin and light with bezel-free front panel, as seen in most smartphones.
2. Processor: The device is expected to be powered by the 64-bit version of its Snapdragon 800-series chipset with 3GB RAM
3. OS: Google Nexus 6 is expected and run on the next generation of Android OS (4.5), dubbed as Lollypop.
4. Camera: The device is also expected to have 13MP camera (main) and 5MP front camera. Another report has it that Nexus 6 will come with a 16MP camera, which is seen in Samsung Galaxy S5.
5. Connectivity: It is expected to come in three storage variants - 32 GB/64 GB/128 GB. It may come with connectivity such as Bluetooth, NFC, Micro-USB, Wi-Fi and 4G.

Video Photo Gallery Cube iWork 10 Flagship Tablet BIOS Settings
The Aption/AMI BIOS of Cube iWork 10 Flagship Tablet is one of the most complete among those available on Windows tablets. It really has dozens of options not available on other products. You will find also an Android section. Here youll find a Video & Photo Gallery with unboxing of Cube iWork 10 Flagship Tablet and here is the first run of the device. High resolution photo album here.
If you need it, I have made a back-up of Cube iWork 10 Flagship Tablet BIOS. You can download it from here, here or here. (3,90 MB).
I advise everyone to make a copy of a working BIOS, if possible, before doing BIOS experiments. To do that you can simple use the provided AfuWin64 v.5.08.02.1189 software from the links above. If you disabled USB in the BIOS, or if you did another mess in device BIOS, only overwriting NVRAM can reset BIOS settings. In this way, there is no need to open the case, to teardown the device to be able to reset the CMOS. All the actions are made from Windows environment, so your tablet has to be able to boot into Windows. All the following actions that are you will do next are entirely at your own risk.

Video Photo Gallery Cube iWork 10 Flagship tablet First Impressions Quick Review
Cube iWork 10 Flagship tablet.
Cube iWork10 Flagship version is featured with Intel Atom-X5 Cherry Trail Z8300 quad core CPU, builds in 4G RAM and 64G ROM, with 10.1 Inch 1920*1200 pixels Full HD IPS screen, and installed with the latest Windows10 + Android 5.1 dual OS, support 4K video, HDMI, OTG, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc;
The device is probably one of the best-looking tablets that we have seen, regardless of the price range. It is made from a combination of poly-carbonate and some metal alloy. The combination of colors is also interesting – it is black on the front side, and blue on the back and around the tablet. iWork 10 looks and feels premium in every possible aspect. Considering its size and weight, it is a very thin device at just 8mm but don’t worry because it is quite sturdy and durable. The front of the device houses large screen with several sensors coupled with front facing camera above it, and Windows home button bellow it.
There is power/lock button with volume buttons on the top of the device in the left corner, and it is easily reachable. The left side of the device houses all ports like micro USB for charging and transfer, HDMI, 3.5mm headphone jack, USB 3.0 and micro SD card slot. Speakers are located on the right side, and they are plenty loud.
Cube iWork 10 is equipped with 10.1-Inch capacitive IPS screen with up to 10-point multi-touch support. Resolution of the display is 1920×1200, and it is more than enough for its size. Some of the competition come with the double amount of pixel on their screens, but the difference is not that big, and battery life suffers because of that. We believe that Cube made the right decision opting for this resolution. Display of this device offers excellent viewing angles, true-to-life colors and it is very bright. Bezels on the side of the screen are pretty big, but we think that this is a terrific thing. You can grab the tablet by the bezels and don’t interfere with the screen while watching videos for instance.

Conclusion
Cube iWork 10 Flagship tablet looks like a great tablet, but the Android OS seems to be unstable in current version and needs improvements. During our tests, we experienced several force closes, hangups and stability issues. Google Play and gapps are working, but updating some applications caused several restarts of the tablet. These issue should go away in the next firmware update.
The battery life wasnt too good also, but the overall features, hardware configuration and the price makes Cube iWork 10 Flagship a tablet to recommend.
