While the recently unveiled Xiaomi MiPad looks to be the only tablet to be using the NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor and chipset, the Tegra K1 apparently made the benchmarking rounds recently. While it isn't with the 3GB RAM MiPad, it is a device running the Tegra K1 with 4GB RAM. Apart from the 192-core Kepler GPU graphics, the Tegra K1 comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Running through AnTuTu, 3DMark, Basemark X and every other benchmark available the Tegra K1 beat the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 and NVIDIA's own Tegra 4 by a long shot.

Today's latest smartphones can now record 4K video and this includes the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Wanting to see just how far today's smartphone cameras have gone, photographer Alec Weinstein paired up the Galaxy Note 3's 13MP camera against a Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR with a SIGMA 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. Bear in mind that the EOS 5D Mark III has been tweaked somewhat to get similar colour, contrast, saturation and sharpening, but the results are still decidedly better for the Galaxy Note 3. Granted, the Galaxy Note 3 is recording in 4K video but the resulting video has been downsized to 1080p and that the EOS 5D Mark III is definitely an excellent camera. Check out the video for yourself below and marvel with us at how far cameraphones have got:

Following the trend of other smartphone makers offering their own user interfaces, ASUS have revealed the ZenUI with their latest range of ASUS ZenFone smartphones. The ZenUI takes the best from the latest batch of user interfaces while making it their own and this includes providing flatter icons while providing a not so invasive user interface like some others we could name. Integrating well with Google Now and Google Calendar the ZenUI is smooth and zippy, while providing a complete toolbox of features and functions that should make your ASUS ZenFone smartphone even more useful right out of the box. Here is a break-down of some of the more notable ZenUI elements:
