by Anton D. Nagy | May 9, 2013 5:00 AMRead OnAndroid 4.2.2 With Sense 5.1 Has Leaked, according to reports, for the HTC Butterfly, the international twin of the Verizon HTC Droid DNA. Sense 5 has been included and has debuted with the HTC One, though, on top of Android 4.1.2, but if the report, and the video below, is any indication, an Android 4.2.2 update should land soon (at least for the Butterfly). While you can't really see the Android version in the video below (as the About screen reports a "protected" version) you can definitely see the toggles in the notification shade. The system dump is available on XDA Developers and, ...

by Anton D. Nagy | May 5, 2013 1:17 AMRead OnThis phone might very well be the LG Optimus G2 or Nexus 5. It might also be something completely different but our logic dictates we could speculate towards the Nexus approach. First there was the Google Nexus 4 made by LG and then there was the LG Optimus G. According to recent rumors Google and LG are working, again, on another Nexus phone made by the South Korean company. Now the Nexus 5, whatever it will be, might refer to a five-inch screen or the fifth Nexus phone. Nothing really solid to hold onto here but we know the Nexus 4 will be due for a refresh around October, considering ...

by Anton D. Nagy | April 19, 2013 3:48 AMRead OnThe Nokia Lumia 928 is no secret anymore, with all the leaks we've recently seen, and with rumored launch details talking about a certain April 25 announcement followed by either a May 2 or May 9 availability. Today's leak features a render of the device, but this time, alongside the front and back part of the phone, which we've already seen, we get a chance to take a look at both sides too (revealing the volume rockers, power button and camera button on the right edge). All that's left is an official announcement with exact pricing and availability but that shouldn't be far our now. ...

by Anton D. Nagy | April 10, 2013 7:04 AMRead OnMost of the next full-sized iPad rumors seem to agree on the fact that the 9.7-incher will take a lot of design cues from Apple's iPad mini, as it should. If the two images we're seeing today (below and above) turn out to be the real deal than this will become a reality. We're allegedly seeing the front panel of a (possibly next) iPad and the side bezels appear to me narrower than what we've seen over the years on previous models. The iPad mini has a narrower bezel and a similar design for the iPad 5 (or whatever the name will be) will allow Apple to reduce the physical dimensions of the ...

by Anton D. Nagy | March 30, 2013 10:00 AMRead OnThere were numerous rumors in the past putting HTC and Facebook together on the same team again for a future possible "Facebook phone". These rumors were revived yesterday with a press invite sent out by Facebook to an event where the social network will show off its "new home on Android". However, the tagline, "new home on Android", could exactly be just that, a home screen. According to the latest coming from unnamed sources, Facebook is planning to bring a home screen to Android phones -- the first screen one sees after turning the phone on -- which will feature content from your ...

by Anton D. Nagy | March 26, 2013 4:40 AMRead OnWhile the HTC One is getting really good reviews, two lower-end smartphones have been recently rumored and they seem to have popped up on the internet. They're the HTC Desire P (pictured above) and the Desire Q (image below). The Desire P is very similar to the One SV and is expected to pack a dual-core SoC clocking at 1GHz, eight-megapixel camera, 4.3-inch display with WVGA resolution, as well as Beats audio integration. Color options include ruby (red) and white and if the automated translation is right it will be a China-only device. The HTC Desire Q, while also coming with Beats audio, ...

by Anton D. Nagy | March 14, 2013 8:47 AMRead OnJust hours ahead of Samsung's official unveiling of the Galaxy S IV there's an avalanche of leaks being unleashed upon us, all demonstrated on the Chinese GT-I9502 -- which according to some reports will not be the real deal. But let's cut to the chase: the lock screen on the S III and Note II (and pretty much all other Galaxy phones) had a nature theme to it (inherited from TouchWiz Nature UX) and they mimicked water droplets. This year it looks like Samsung stuck with the nature theme but the lock screen appears to be a rainbow. Much more interesting than that is the floating touch, ...

by Anton D. Nagy | March 14, 2013 5:56 AMRead OnThe Nokia Lumia 928 for Verizon is pretty much just a rumor at the moment but rumors don't post images to the internet -- and good ones at that -- like we've recently seen one yesterday. There were a couple of more images uploaded but have since been removed -- just like the one from yesterday. The Nokia Blog grabbed grabbed the EXIF data below and it definitely references the Lumia 928. On a related note, an alleged screenshot seems to not only confirm the phone but also unveil its future possible color variants: white, black, red, and cyan. File this under the "R" folder alongside ...

Read OnUpdate: According to recent reports based on more "sources", this is just one of the prototypes which are out there, and not the real deal. More "R" category, but exciting, nonetheless. We've seen images and even videos claiming to depict the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S IV (granted, the Chinese dual-SIM version) and the specs have be subject to speculation for quite some time now. However, today we have some new, alleged, pictures, representing a purported representation of the upcoming Android flagship. Will it be the real deal? Make sure to follow our exhaustive coverage of the launch ...

by Anton D. Nagy | March 13, 2013 5:28 AMRead OnBefore you get your hopes up high, no, this is not the X-Phone (NXT), even though there were recent rumors which might lead you into thinking that a new Motorola phone being leaked might be the mighty X. However, nothing's certain and even the source is caution in saying that they "think" this is not the X, judging by rumors implying a five-inch screen. Now that we've got that one out of the way, what we see here is a device -- model number XT912A -- with a 720p screen and a 4.65-inch-ish screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro (or better) SoC, Adreno 320 GPU, 2GB of RAM, and a 2,200mAh ...

by Anton D. Nagy | March 13, 2013 4:35 AMRead OnTomorrow is the big day for all Android fans around the world as Samsung, whether you're a fan of the brand or not, is announcing this year's flagship phone, the Galaxy S IV. There were countless rumors and leaks in the past few weeks but we're sure the South Korean company has a couple of aces left up its sleeve. The latest rumor tries to confirm previous hear-say about the processor which will power the Galaxy S IV. Despite Samsung went with a standardized choice last year, with the Note II (same CPU across regions), this latest rumor seems to revisit the information according to which ...

by Anton D. Nagy | March 12, 2013 6:05 AMRead OnNFC is about standard on all high-end Android smartphones nowadays and the Samsung Galaxy S III has it, and so does the Note II. However, Samsung implemented the functionality differently on the S III than on the Note II. While the Galaxy S III has the antenna inside the battery itself the Note II has it on the battery cover touching the phone via two contacts. The Samsung Galaxy S IV appears to follow the Galaxy S III route, if the battery on the leaked Chinese version is any indication. We've just learned that said battery is rated at 2,600mAh and the Near Field Communication call-out on ...

by Anton D. Nagy | March 12, 2013 5:48 AMRead OnWhat does this mean? The international or global variant might or might not feature the same battery as the one powering the device we've recently seen leaked in pictures and a video. However, if it will, it will be powered by a 2,600mAh battery. According to the image above, the battery inside the GT-I9502 is one of 9.88Wh (watt-hour). Thanks to a neat formula (mAh = Wh x 1000 / V or milliamp-hour = watt-hour x 1000 / V) we find out that the battery is rated at 2,600mAh (9.88 x 1000 / 3.8). This is a step-up from the 2,100mAh battery on the Galaxy S III but let's not forget that about ...

by Anton D. Nagy | March 12, 2013 4:39 AMRead OnYesterday an alleged Samsung Galaxy S IV leak was making the rounds in the internet and the device was a dual-SIM phone destined for the Chinese market, dubbed the GT-I9502. Now that same device has popped up in a YouTube video just as Samsung started to officially tease the phone with its own render. Yesterday's device is being handled in today's video, with clear naming: Galaxy S IV, probably a Duos phone, headed to China Unicom, according to the title of the video. We can see the dual-SIM construction once the battery cover is removed as well as the battery (but no rating can be read ...

Read OnUpdate: Looking at the texture on the front and back of the device (visible on most pictures but especially on the last two images below), it appears to be the exact same pattern used by Samsung in its press invite for the event, lending more credence to these images. Update 2: According to the comments below it appears that some people have actually seen the alleged Galaxy S IV in the wild and confirm the looks are the same as depicted in the images. One of the things that many people expect from the next Samsung Galaxy S IV is a new design. Samsung overused the aspect of the S III ...
