News & Reviews:   TAG Heuer

Swiss luxury watchmaker, Tag Heuer, has announced a collaboration with Super Mario through colourful teasers, and it makes many Mario fans getting their wallets ready (well, maybe the rich ones). It is not hard to guess that the project will be a Mario-themed watch as that's what Tag Heuer do. However, several media sites have already received detailed information regarding the product before it gets unveiled on 15 July.

Most luxury smartphones tend to utilize premium materials but don't do much in terms of tech specs and innovative features, but this has changed with the TAG Heuer Meridiist Infinite smartphone. While it is still built from premium materials like full Titanium grade 5 the smartphone sets itself apart by placing a photovoltaic cell layer between the sapphire glass and display panel. Yep, this now means that you can actually charge your phone (or at least the Meridiist Infinite) by leaving it out in the sun. The tech utilizes Whysips by Sunpartner and also works with ambient light and when the battery level is zero. No details on how long you might have to wait for a full solar charge but at least the phone self-charges. No news on how much it might cost but TAG is limiting the Meridiist Infinite to just 1911 units so we expect this smartphone to be very premiumly priced even without any obvious bling.
