Another device with uninspired design and LTE to fill out Verizon's
end-of-year lineup Verizon and LG have had a steady relationship of releasing mid-range
devices to fill out its smart phone portfolio, and it looks like the LG Enact
will be the latest in the series. Following in the footsteps of
devices like the Lucid, Spectrum and Revolution, the Enact (aka VS890) looks to have a
moderate screen size, four capacitive buttons (yes, menu button included) and
typical branding in all the right places. The interface looks to be the same as
other recent LG phones, and considering that Chrome is highlighted as an app on the home screen
we're likely looking at Android 4.1 or above loaded on the Enact. Look for this
one to hit Verizon by the end of the year at a low price point on-contract. A new press image of the Verizon bound
smartphone, dubbed as LG Enact has been leaked, courtesy ofevleaks. The mid-range Android device
with a model number VS890 is rumored to be announced with Android 4.1 Jelly
Bean on board. The LG Enact is said to sport a display with a resolution of 480
x 800 pixels and the smartphone is expected to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4
Plus or a Snapdragon 400 processor and will support 4G LTE connectivity. Unfortunately,
there is no word on the pricing and the launch date of the upcoming Verizon
smartphone, but it's likely that it's going to be subsidizes to free on
contract.

Motorola X appears in white through a new press image
As August 1 approaches, we’re beginning to see more and more leaks and press shots of the Moto X smartphone. Only yesterday we saw one such image which revealed the black Moto X in all its glory. Today, it’s the white variant which has appeared. Interestingly, this is the same variant of the smartphone which Eric Schmidt was seen using recently.
We already know that, Motorola X will be officially unveiled on August 1 in New York. The press image and specifications of the upcoming device from Motorola has already been leaked and we now have another press render, which shows the smartphone in a white paintjob.
We already know that, Motorola X will be officially unveiled on August 1 in New York. The press image and specifications of the upcoming device from Motorola has already been leaked and we now have another press render, which shows the smartphone in a white paintjob.
Additionally, a new image from evleaks shows the side profile of the Moto X and reveals the presence of power button and the volume rocker there.
Meanwhile, the Motorola Moto X is rumored to sport a 4.7-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and the smartphone is said to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960DT chipset with a dual-core processor clocked at 1.7 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. There's going to be a 10.5 megapixel rear camera, 2.1 megapixel front camera and 16 GB of inbuilt memory.
The upcoming smartphone from Google owned company will run on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and the juice for the device will be provided by a 2,200mAh non-removable battery.The specs we've been able to independently confirm include:
- A dual-core (not quad-core) Qualcomm S4 Pro MSM8960DT 1.7GHz CPU, Adreno 320 GPU (I'm not actually sure what the "d" stands for in the processor model number)
- 2GB of RAM
- 720x1184 4.7" (about 4.5" without on-screen buttons) display
- 2.1MP front-facing camera / 10.5MP rear camera
- Android 4.2.2
- 16GB internal memory, 12GB of which is user-accessible (at least in one variant)
- NFC
- 2,200 mAh battery (tipped by @evleaks and the fact I've confirmed in FCC docs)
- About 18-19K AnTuTu score
- About 7100 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme score
Samsung Galaxy S IV in a new Colour variant , BROWN AUTUMN exclusively for Verizon
Samsung launched its Galaxy
S4 flagship smartphone in two color options - Black and White. The South Korean
manufacturer recently added a bit more
variety in the form of four new colors: Blue Arctic, Purple Mirage, Red Aurora, Brown
Autumn and Pink
Twilight. Now, a press image of the Samsung Galaxy S4 in the
"Brown Autumn" color has been leaked, courtesy ofevleaks, and
it looks like the new paint job will be exclusive to the Verizon customers. Unfortunately, there is no official word on the availability of
the newest hue, but we expect Verizon to start selling its Galaxy S4
"Brown Autumn" in the coming days. Last year saw Verizon add the Amber Brown version of the
Samsung Galaxy S III to its
shelves, and now it looks like the big red carrier will follow that up by
launching the Brown Autumn Galaxy S 4. A new image shared by @evleaks shows an Autumn Brown version of the
Galaxy S 4 with "Verizon 4G LTE" branding on its backside. Outside of
the new paint job, the device looks the same as the White Frost and Black Mist
Galaxy S 4 models that are currently sold by Verizon. The
company didn't say which carriers would be offering the new Galaxy S 4 colors,
but considering that each U.S. operator got its own special shade of Galaxy S
III, it wouldn't be a surprise to see at least some of the GS4's new paint jobs
make their way stateside as well. While there's no word yet on when this Brown
Autumn Galaxy S 4 might be making that journey, at least Verizon customers know
that they'll be eventually have the option of getting their GS4 with a splash
of color.
Samsung Galaxy S IV with Snapdragon 800 processor AnTuTu benchmark leak, Samsung Galaxy S IV dual-sim at 27990 inr
Not content
with just two versions of its Galaxy S4 flagship (Active, mini, zoom aside),
Samsung created a third version - a South Korea-exclusive S4 with Snapdragon
800. We’re getting more and more indications that there will be an
international version of that phone. First there were some pretty impressive AnTuTu benchmark scores, now there are
screenshots from another AnTuTu run. The total score is lower than the previous
leak, lower than even the Korean Galaxy S4 LTE-A benchmarks. The GPU
score is close to the 9000+ points Adreno 330 usually scores -
high above the 5000+ of Adreno 320 and above even the 8000+ of PowerVR SGX
544MP3 in the Exynos 5 Octa version. Anyway, the screenshots confirm the I9506
model number, 2.3GHz Krait 400 CPU and Adreno 330 GPU. Those are all the
ingredients of a Snapdragon 800 chipset, which has LTE-Advanced (Cat. 4)
connectivity or 150Mbps downlink speed. The phone was running Android 4.2.2,
same as the current Galaxy S4. The software is most likely unfinished, which
explains the inconsistent scores. Unfortunately, all the rumors so far have
failed to deliver a believable announcement date - the upcoming IFA event is a
possible target, but historically it’s when Samsung announces the Galaxy Note. Unfortunately, the leaks or benchmarks don't
tell us anything about the launch dates! Currently the Samsung Galaxy
S4 is available
with either a Snapdragon 600 or an Exynos 5 chip onboard, but a third processor
configuration could soon be available as well.
Last week we reported on the Galaxy S4 SHV-E330S, powered by a Snapdragon 800 and featuring LTE-Advanced
support. Now the device has appeared again in AnTuTu, breaking all
existing records.
Why the big jump now? Honestly, there are many possible
reasons. First, every time you run a benchmark, you are likely to get a
slightly different result. The reason for this is that sometimes different
resources and background processes may be running that could effect the result.
Additionally, the Snapdragon 800-powered Galaxy S4 might not have been properly optimized
at the time of the first test. Keep in mind that there is still the possibility
that the SHV-E330S is a fake. That said, the same handset number has already
passed Wi-Fi and DLNA certification, so it is seemingly more and more likely
that the SHV-E330S is real. The biggest remaining question is where and when
the handset might emerge. Currently all evidence points to the Snapdragon 800-powered S4 coming
exclusively to Korea, though again – nothing is official until Sammy says it
is. If the Snapdragon 800 model of the Samsung Galaxy S4 does make its way outside of Korea,
would you be interested in picking it up?
The single SIM version of Samsung Galaxy S4 mini has
been available on the market for a few weeks now, but its dual-SIM counterpart
has hit shelves only recently. The good news is
that Samsung I9192 Galaxy S4 mini is not limited to only a few markets, as the
South Korean company has decided to globally roll out the device. According to GSMArena,
the dual-SIM version of Samsung Galaxy S4 mini is now available for purchase in
the US via Amazon, Cells4U and
a few more online retailers. The cheapest is up for grabs at Cells4U at only $470/€360 off contract, while Amazon offers the smartphone for
$483/€368. Android fans in India will be happy to know that both
white and black versions of dual-SIM Samsung Galaxy S4 mini are now available
for pre-order via Flipkart for Rs 27,990 outright,
which is about $470 or €360. The handset is expected to arrive in other countries
such as Mexic, Spain and Egypt, but no details on the exact release date have
been disclosed yet. Aside from the fact
that it comes with dual-SIM support, Samsung I9192 is no different from its
single-SIM brother. It runs the same Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system
and packs a similar 1.7 GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8930 Snapdragon 400
processor. The smartphone also features
an Adreno 305 graphics processing unit, along with 1.5GB of RAM and 8GB of
internal memory that can be further expanded up to 64GB via microSD memory
card. Samsung Galaxy S4 mini sports a more than decent
4.3-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports 540 x 960
pixels resolution and features Corning Gorilla Glass coating. On the back,
it boasts an improved 8-megapixel photo snapper with autofocus, LED flash and
full HD (1080p) video recording, while in the front, there’s a secondary
1.9-megapixel camera for video calls.

Motorola Droid Ultra shows up in Red attire, Black and red back of Motorola DROID Ultra MAXX leaks
We all know that Motorola, the Google owned company is working on a trio of Android smartphones and one of them is the Droid Ultra. We saw the official Droid Ultra page with the tag line "Think Thin" on the Motorola's website and we even had the press render and the camera samples leaked. Now, we have the press render of the Motorola Droid Ultra in its Red dress courtesy of evleaks. The Verizon bound smartphone is rumored to feature a 4.7-inch HD Super AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 2, Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset with 1.7 GHz dual-core Krait CPU, 16 GB of inbuilt memory and a microSD card slot. Motorola Droid Ultra will come out with a 10 megapixel or a 14 megapixel rear camera with a LED flash, 2 megapixel front shooter and a 2,500mAh battery will provide the juice for the smartphone. Motorola Droid Ultra along with Droid Mini and Droid Ultra Maxx is expected to be showcased at the upcoming Verizon event on July 23 in New York.
We saw the Motorola DROID Ultra MAXX for the first time two weeks ago, but back then only its front panel was exposed. We now get to see the other side of the smartphone that will reportedly going to have specs identical to the Motorola DROID Ultra plus a larger battery. The rear side of Motorola DROID Ultra MAXX has a familiar texture. Just like the DROID MAXX, the Ultra MAXX version will be made of Kevlar, but unlike its predecessor it will have a cool red accent across the middle of its back panel. The Motorola DROID Ultra MAXX is expected to go official on July 23, when Verizon is holding an eventdedicated to the lineup. As the latest rumor has it the DROID Ultra MAXX might feature a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED display and a Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset with a quad-core 1.7GHz Krait CPU. You could also expect 16GB internal storage, 10+ megapixel camera and a 2500mAh battery.

Nexus 7 : second generation leaks out in Photo and Video
Google is expected to unveil a follow-up to the Nexus 7 soon and this week
some photos and video purporting to show the next-generation Android tablet
turned up online, as did some rumoured specs and pricing information. Android Central has published the
"first probable pictures of what we believe is the long-awaited successor
to the Nexus 7," images the tech site said were leaked by an anonymous
source. Separately, Android Central said it had learned
that Google will price a 16GB version of the tablet at $229 (£150) and a 32GB
version at $269 (£177). "First, a quick caveat: Ain't nothing official
yet. Google's not announced anything, and we have no idea if what we see here
is a finished product, or prototype," the site hedged before spilling some
interesting details about the purported second-generation Nexus 7. It's being made by Asus for Google, just like the
original Nexus 7 The new tablet runs the yet-to-be-released Android
4.3 Android Central anticipates that there will be
Wi-Fi-only models and versions capable of accessing cellular data network. The new tablet sports a 7in LCD display, has dual
speakers, and features two cameras — one more than the current Nexus 7 — a
1.2-megapixel, front-facing camera made by Lite-On Mobile and a 5-megapixel,
rear-positioned camera from Chicony The unit viewed by Android Central is powered by
Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro chip on the Qualcomm APQ8064 logic
board, though the site noted that other reports have the second-generation
Nexus 7 using a Snapdragon 600 processo The next Nexus 7 may have "a ridiculously
whopping 4GB of DDR3L RAM," per Android Central, though "we're not
100 percent sure on that, 2GB wouldn't surprise us at all," the site added The power button and volume rocker are in the same
place along the side of the new tablet as they are on the current Nexus 7, and
the next-gen device sports a microUSB port just like its predecessor The Android Central leak comes shortly after Google sent
out invites for a July 24 event in San Francisco, which will feature an
appearance from Sundar Pichai, Google's chief of Android and Chrome. Some Google
watchers also expect the company to release a new version of its mobile
operating system next week, but Android 4.3 is more likely than Android 5.0 Key
Lime Pie, which is rumoured for an October unveiling. ith Google's chitchat breakfast event
with Sundar Pichai coming up next week, speculation has been rampant that a new Nexus 7 could be
imminent. Just like clockwork, the leaks are beginning to flow. A new video
purports to show the second edition of Google's 7-inch slate, and it's
accompanied by some snapshots. The device certainly looks legit with the
sideways Nexus branding on the back, matching a previous leak. An Asus logo is
also clearly visible at the bottom. The device again has a 7-inch LCD, but the
resolution isn't apparent in any of the pictures. The overall design looks
almost identical to the first N7, but there are two speakers on the back
instead of one. We're expecting 2GB of RAM, and 16/32GB storage options. The
rest of the specs are unknown. Start saving your pennies, everyone. Google will
be asking for your money very soon. Hot on the heels of the pricing details from yesterday The unit from the
leaked images is said to boot Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. You can see a video of
the alleged second generation Nexus 7 below. The second generation Nexus 7 is
expected to break cover next week, on July 24 at
an event in San Francisco.
Another hue of Nokia Lumia 1020 : RED
For a company that’s been so enthusiastic about releasing a colorful
assortment of smartphones, Nokia’s
latest Lumia 1020 sure feels like
it comes up a little short, available only
in yellow or neutral notes. That’s what made it so interesting to see the above
render arrive this morning, apparently showing off the 1020 in red.Stephen Elop announced the Nokia Lumia 1020 with an epic 41MP camera almost a week
ago and said it'll be available in three color variations: yellow, white and
black. However, as a leaked posted by evleaks shows, the WP8 cameraphone is going to
also be available in an additional hue. As you can see on the left, the exclusive red
color is destined for AT&T customers only. Come July 26 you'll be able to
buy the Nokia Lumia 1020 for $299.99 with a two-year contract.
If you want to be among the first to have it, you can now pre-order your unit. There's
no information whether the red Nokia Lumia 1020 will be available at launch or
shortly after that. The
Nokia Lumia 1020 features a 4.5 inch WXGA AMOLED display with a resolution of
1280 x 768 pixels, there is also a dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.5GHz
processor, there is also 2GB of RAM and 32GB of built in storage. The
Nokia Lumia 1020 features a 41 megapixel PureView camera with OIS, Nokia Pro
Camera, a Xenon flash for photos and an LED flash for video. As
soon as we get some more details on exactly when the red Nokia Lumia 1020 will
be available with AT&T we will let you guys know. Included
above, the leaked PR shot apparently shows a Lumia 1020 with a red casing and an AT&T
logo. This doesn’t confirm the existence of this alternative color, but it does
hint Nokia at least toyed with the idea of a crimson-colored version. Whether
it will materialize remains to be seen, but I would welcome yet another splash
of color in the Lumia 1020 lineup. A few extra carrier choices
wouldn’t hurt, too.

Nokia making Lumia 625 with 4.7 in and LTE leaks
Nokia
is working on a new Lumia phone, which is expected to launch shortly. Called
the Lumia 625, it is said to be the cheapest Lumia phone in Nokia's range.
According to the
sources at The
Verge, the Lumia 625
will have a 4.7-inch, 800 x 480 resolution display, which is the largest for a
Lumia phone so far. Other specs include a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon S4
processor, 512MB of RAM and a 5 megapixel camera. The handset apparently
features a 4.7-inch WVGA screen with super-sensitive
touch, 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon
S4 processor, 512MB of RAM and
2,000mAh battery -- basically a lower-end model. While the listing only
mentions GSM / GPRS and WCDMA / HSPA support, the phone supposedly includes
LTE, and wraps everything in a unibody design that follows the attractive looks
of its smaller cousin, the Lumia
620. In fact, the shape appears to match the RM-941 that passed through the FCC back in June. The
device is expected to land in China at the end of July for 1,999 yuan ($325) No word yet on international
availability. There's no word on US availability, but one particular variant of the
Lumia 625 recently passed
through the FCC with support for
AT&T's GSM network This is the right
step for Nokia as low-end devices is exactly what both Nokia and Windows Phone
needs to increase market share. Now it's time for Microsoft to step up its game
and introduce new features through regular updates Nokia's Lumia
625 is the next part of the company's strategy to push Windows Phone to even
lower price points. The Nokia Lumia 520 is the most popular Windows Phone
worldwide, according to data from Adduplex,
and it has secured 13.3 percent share. Similarly the Lumia 620 has secured 9.6
percent, and the Lumia 710 has 9.6 percent. While Nokia is pushing Microsoft's
mobile OS to the low-end, it faces increasing competition from competitors like Samsung, and
its own low-end Asha line continues to sell well against Lumia Windows Phones. We expect Nokia to launch a
high-end phablet, perhaps once Microsoft adds support for higher-resolution
displays to Windows Phone, but for now it looks like the largest Windows Phone
display will head to emerging markets.
Sony Honami photo showing Camera UI surfaces
Sony Honami, another image has popped up showing off the new camera interface of
the anticipated next Sony flagship. Now the 20MP sensor and the redone camera
interface aren't exactly news - the latter is even available for current Xperia
flagships via a leaked ROM, but it's the first we see it running on the actual phone. The above
image also reveals that Sony has been hard at work trying to match the
smartphone camera offerings by competing manufacturers like Samsung, and, more
recently, Nokia. Back to the Sony Honami - the smartphone is said to feature Sony's
G-lens and BIONZ image processing for its 1/2.3" image sensor. The device
will have 5-inch 1080p display and will be running on a Snapdragon 800 chipset
with a 2.2 GHz quad-core Krait 400 CPU, Adreno 330 GPU and 2 GB of RAM. There
will be 16 GB of expandable storage and the whole thing will be powered by a
3000 mAh battery. Like most recent high-end Sony smartphones, the Honami will
feature IP57 dust and water resistance.
HP trying to get into the Smartphone world again by their BRAVE
HP's first Android smartphone is
reportedly codenamed as Brave and will house a quad-core 2.3 GHz Qualcomm
Snapdragon 800 mobile chipset. However HP spokesperson calls it a hoax. HP is reportedly working on a Android operating
system based smartphone. PhoneArena has claimed to have got the image renders and
AnTuTu Benchmark listing of the HP smartphone. As per the leaked
images of the AnTuTu Benchmark, HP's first Android smartphone is dubbed as HP
Brave 675A. It will feature 4.5-inch touchscreen display with 1600x900
resolution. The phone packs quad-core 2 GHz Qualcomm
Snapdragon 800 mobile processor with 2 GB RAM. The smartphone is said to
feature a 14.5 megapixel camera at the back and 5 megapixel camera in the
front. Meanwhile, a spokesperson of HP dismissed the
report, saying, "This is not an HP phone. The photo is a fabrication and
is not a photo of anything HP has in the works. Someone is making stuff
up." The image renders appear like someone has taken the
Apple iPhone chassis image and stamped the HP logo at the back and Android user
interface in the front. The leaked images and specifications details may
not be of the actual HP Android phone but then it certainly draws the attention
to the company for a bit. Believed to feature a 2.0 GHz Snapdragon 800 chip along with a unique 14.5MP camera sensor, the HP Brave
could certainly be a smartphone to watch out for. Other specs include Android
4.2, a resolution of 1600×900 and 2GB of RAM.. We’re guessing HP will launch
this smartphone during the IFA event in September where other
prominent devices could be announced. We will certainly get to
hear a lot about this smartphone in the coming days. While there’s no guarantee HP
will actually launch such a device, gathering data from AnTuTu in
the past has been a solid source for upcoming devices. Based on the data, the HP
Brave could be a nice comeback for the company, which has floundered in the
mobile space with a failure in webOS and a budget Android tablet to date.:
Sony, LG and HTC are all expected to use Qualcomm’s best silicon in upcoming
phones. That’s lower than the 1920 x 1080 screens on current flagships, but provides
a similar pixel density at 408 pixels per inch. That means the screen would be
just as clear as peer devices even though the screen is smaller. And that may
be a good thing: It’s nearly impossible to find a top performing Android phone
these days that doesn’t have a screen under 4.7-inches.

Image of Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 Duos leaks
Amazed with the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3? Then you are going to
love this. A dual sim feature is all that lacked in the Samsung GM6.3Samsung
Galaxy Mega 6.3 is
probably the most gigantic smartphone in the market right now and it might soon
be getting a dual SIM version. The image of the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 Duos
has been leaked and bar the pattern at the back, the design of the upcoming
smartphone is identical to that of theinternational version. The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3
Duos is reported to have SCH-P729 as its model number. It is said to match the

megapixel rear camera, 2 megapixel front camera, microSD card slot and will run
on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 Duos is said to have
already cleared Bluetooth certification, but there is no word on the launch
date and the pricing of the smartphone at the moment. Apart from SIM slot increment and reduced RAM, everything
else looks to be same on the rumoured smartphone. Some say that the dual
sim feature will be a CDMA-GSM one. No news apart from this is available.
Galaxy Note 8.0 Android 4.2.2 ROM leaks
Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 8.0, its smallest
Note tablet, at Mobile World Congress earlier this year. The device comes with
Android 4.1.2 pre-installed. An official 4.2.2 update has not been released
yet. Nevertheless, an Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
Wi-Fi has leaked online, giving owners of this tablet the opportunity to test
out the latest flavor of Google’s mobile platform. In case you’ve forgotten
about this device, Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 has an eight inch 1280×800 display
and runs on a 1.6GHz quadcore processor. Samsung has slapped on TouchWiz Nature
UX on top of Android 4.1.2, the device also supports S Pen functions. This
leaked ROM is said to be official, furthermore the source claims that they felt
that the tablet was a lot faster and even felt improvement in its battery

flashing of With the cut throat
competition of the biggest brightest and fastest OS The Samsung
Galaxy Note 8.0 launched with Android 4.1 instead of
4.2 like the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 did, but if you want you can flash a leaked version of the official
4.2.2 update. While the update is not rich with new features it reportedly
makes the tablet smoother and improves battery life. The bigger Note 10.1
(which launched with ICS) is still on Android 4.1, so the newer tablet
will actually get ahead. Anyway, you can grab the RAR file you
need for the update here, the file is about 1.2GB big. Note
that this firmware is for the N5110, the Wi-Fi only version of the Note 8.0 and
will not work on the 3G/4G-enabled N5100. You’ll need Odin 3.07 (it’s included
in the file if you don’t have it already). Follow the installationinstructions here and keep in mind that
the process will wipe your data, so make a backup first.
This is a tutorial that will teach you how to successfully update your
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 WiFi model with a leaked version of the Android 4.2.2
Jelly Bean stock firmware. Note that this is not an official update released by
Samsung, as it is a leaked build in its testing phase only.
The final version of the official Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean for your
Galaxy Note 8.0 WiFi should be ready for a release by the end of next month. In
order to make sure that you correctly update your device, you will first have
to read the preparation guide below. Here’s what you need to know before
continuing to the ‘how-to’ part of this post:
- use
this guide only with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 WiFi model number N5110.
- do
not use this tutorial with any other Android devices, as you will end up
bricking it.
- if
you tablet is running a rooted firmware or any other customizations have
been applied, then you will most likely lose all the data from your
device.
- backup
all the important files before starting the installation.
- installing
this leaked XXCMG2 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROM will restore the warranty for your
Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet.
- make
sure that your computer has all the Samsung USB Drivers installed on it.
Without these you cannot connect the tablet with your computer, that will
prevent from installing any firmware updating files.
- make
sure that Samsung KIES software is disabled completely before starting the
update.
- disable
all the antivirus programs from running on your device.
- this
is a guide for advanced Android users.
- it
is not recommended for you to use this guide in case you don’t know what
you’re doing and you’ve never used ODIN nor flashed any official stock firmware
for your tablet.
- we
cannot be blamed in case you lose any data or you brick the device.

Blackberry Aristo (A10) leaks in a video
We can't say we haven't seen the
BlackBerry A10 before, but seeing it in action on video is a new ballgame
altogether. It seems that BlackBerry's next flagship BB10 smartphone, the
A10, is ready to step after the plate after an accessories store in Vietnam
apparently got some hands on time with the device. The device, codenamed
Aristo, has appeared in a brief clip posted to YouTube and Facebook by the ViVix Accessories store in Hanoi, and showcases the device's
purported 5-inch, 1280 x 800 display with BB10 on board. The 29-second video,
which presumably has been obtained through manufacturing sources in the country,
suggests the device will take its design cues from its predecessor, theBlackBerry Z10. Beyond the larger
screen, the only apparent design change is the presence of dual coloured body.
The Z10 shipped in black and white, while this one boasts both colours, as
evidenced by pics leaked last week. As we mentioned, this may be the first
video appearance, but it isn't the only A10 leak recently. On Friday the device
reportedly made its first appearance in front of the cameras with a number of candid snaps. According
to previous speculation the device may boast the same screen size as rivals
like the Samsung Galaxy S4, but could be found wanting in terms of specs. Reports
have suggested its only slated to rock a dual-core processor, quad-core GPU to
enhance the gaming experience, 720p video recording and an 8-megapixel camera. Hot on the heels of the BlackBerry Z10 getting an update to BB 10.1 and price
cutsat various retailers, a future model to come out of Waterloo has apparently
been leaked. Over the last few days, we have seen a leaked picture
showing us the front of the BlackBerry A10, also known as
Aristo, and a leaked
picture showing us the back of the device. On Saturday night, a video was
discovered that shows 29 seconds of what is called the "most powerful
BlackBerry ever". The problem with the phone is that is shows how the
Canadian OEM has not learned its lesson. This model will apparently feature a dual-core processor and
a 720 x 1280 resolution. Once again, BlackBerry wastes an opportunity to offer
a phone with specs that at least are matching what is on top-shelf Android
models. BlackBerry CEO Thorsten
Heins has said that this model gets him excited which makes us wonder if he has
actually looked at what the competition is offering. Has he not learned his
lesson from the launch of theBlackBerry Z10 and the release of the BlackBerry Q10? And even if he
is dressing up the company for a sale, he still needs to show that there is
some sort of future for the company to attract buyers. Check out the video of what looks like the first 5
inch BlackBerry, and hope that it is not too late for BlackBerry to give the
phone the specs it needs to compete against comparable Android units.

HTC Butterfly S duos leaks
HTC
recently launched the successor of its HTC
Butterfly dubbed HTC
Butterfly S. The Butterfly S was a relatively modest upgrade over its
predecessor, but that was still enough to make it one of the most powerful
smartphones available in the market. And according to the latest rumor by leakschina the smartphone might be getting a dual SIM version
int the near future. The dual SIM HTC Butterfly S is said to sport a 5-inch
display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The upcoming variant is
rumored to feature a Snapdragon 600 chipset with a 1.9GHz quad-core Krait 300
processor along with 2 GB of RAM, just like the regular version. Furthermore,
the device will have the same UltraPixel camera as on the HTC
One. The dual SIM HTC Butterfly S
reportedly measures 144.5 x 70.5 x 10.9mm and weighs about 159g. The smartphone
will run on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean but unfortunately, there is no word on the
launch date and the global availability of the device. model is going to be
available only in A dual SIM phone allows the user to run two lines through one
device. You could have one business line and one line for play. The HTC
Butterfly S would be a sequel to the HTC
DROID DNA at Verizon and might
not come to the U.S. for some time, if it comes at all. After all, the HTC One,
which is the Taiwan manufacturer's flagship Android model, is expected to come to Verizon
on August 1st. And if there is a sequel to the HTC DROID DNA, it won't be the
dual SIM model which is a feature that has not really been popular in the
states. The

word on the launch date and the global availability of the device.

Huawei Honour 3 leak
The Huawei Honor 3 has surfaced on the web in its full glory
through some leaked images and we have managed to lay our hands on the device’s
specs list as well, apart from its pictures. This Huawei contender comes across
as a high-end smartphone complete with the ability to resist spills and splashes.
Huawei
is said to bring a waterproof handset in the coming days. The Chinese major,
who goes into top with two mind blowing Android powered phones earlier in the
year, is now ready bring Huawei Honor 3. The makers behind Ascend P6 wanted to
show Japanese titan Sony that they are also capable of making a waterproof
phone. The device, however, looks like a mid -end affair. Gforgames got its
hands on some alleged images of Huawei Honor 3. The handset is made of plastic
having a 4.7-inch display. The site further claims that the phone also packs
Infrared blaster. It is now common to see tech vendors integrating more and
more unique features. The HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4 comes with Infrared
blaster. The Honor 3 will have a 4.7-inch 720p HD display along with
1.5GHz quad -core processor made by Huawei. Performance wise, it won't disturb
you considering the makers have placed 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. For
New Smartphones Gallery The internal storage can be further expanded via
microSD card. In the camera department, the Honor 3 is said to have a 13-mega
pixel rear shooter and on the front panel - 1.3-mega pixel camera allows to
chat. The phone will be power by Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with Emotion 1.6 UI
on the top. As of now, it is not known whether the device will be dustproof or
not. Late last month, Chinese site MyDrivers, published few images of Honor 3.
Interestingly, the white variant of Honor 3 is known, as of now. It is to be
seen whether India gets Honor 3 in the coming months. Huawei is serious about
India and the company has planned to launch few more handsets later in the year.
The guys over at Gforgames have unearthed the Huawei Honor 3 smartphone’s
photos, while some of its specifications had come to light back in June itself.
If the rumors doing the rounds are to be believed, the handset in question will
be outfitted with a 4.7-inch multi-touch screen capable of rendering visuals in
720p resolution. As far as the system memory is concerned, the phone has 2
whole gigabytes at its disposal. A 1.5GHz quad core processor may hide under
the hood and the Huawei Honor 3 is expected to take the assistance of the
Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 OS. This platform is likely to be garnished with the
Emotion 1.6 UI as well. The Honor 3 is yet to go official and naturally its
price and availability details are under wraps.
Image of Verizon's Moto X leaks, LTE in tow
There she is, folks. That is your first look
at the Moto
X variant
headed to Verizon. No details have accompanied the photo, but we can clearly
see Big Red’s “4G LTE” logo in the notification bar, along with a phone design
thatmatches up to previous leaks. The phone pictured appears to
be running stock Android or at least a version that is extremely close to stock
Android. We’re looking at the stock icons, coupled with on-screen navigation
keys. Most importantly though, the screen takes up almost the entire front of
the device and is most definitely edge-to-edge with little chin or forehead.
Clearly this is a test device, hence the “MOTOROLA
CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY” and “NOT FOR SALE” tagged across the top and bottom. The
circular Motorola logo in the top left is also typically used on test devices
rather than retail units. So when this phone launches, it could be almost
brand-less outside of the little Motorola batwing that should be inserted into
the indention on the back side. And remember, this device won’t be a DROID in
the sense that the ULTRA and MAXX will be. This is Motorola and Google’s
baby that will be a flagship across all carriers. This follows a
roadmap that leaked yesterday showing the release date of the
handset on Verizon (as well as the HTC One). Overall, the phone isn’t very
large, and looks quite a bit similar to the Nexus 4. We also get a look at the
Android software running on it, of which there is only one really notable
portion. A careful look at the keys on the bottom of the screen reveals that
the background behind them is transparent. This is a change up from what we
currently see, and could indicate anything from a customization specific to the
phone to a newer version of Android being on it. Aside from that, what we see
are some large bezels at both the top and the bottom of the screen, as well as
the generic black color that will be offered on the handset (in addition to
white, it is said) available from carriers. The customization options, of which
they’re rumored to be numerous, will be available to those who order online
with their own selections. According to the leaked roadmap, Verizon will be
launching the Moto X on August 23, giving us a bit over a month left in
waiting. It is possible Motorola will be revealing the device well before this
date, however, especially considering the number of leaks that have surfaced
concerning the device The upcoming smartphone from Motorola has been the talk of the town
ever since we heard about it for the first time. The Moto X has been leaked
numerous times and recently, we also saw the device with Eric Schmidt, the Google Executive
Chairman at the on-going Allen & Co. annual conference in Sun Valley. Now,
the image of the Verizon bound Moto X has surfaced and the latest leak reveals
the presence of the LTE radio in the smartphone. The image hints us that the
upcoming device from Motorola might be running a newer version of Android. Interestingly,
the background behind the on-screen soft-keys looks semi-transparent in
contrast to the solid black bar on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. However, this
could well be a software customization, but with Android 4.3 around the corner,
there is every chance that we are looking at what could be a new look for the
stock Android launcher.The Moto X will be assembled in the United States and the smartphone is
expected to be announced in August.
