Hurricanes be damned, the LG Nexus 4 goes official

Hurricane Sandy may have forced Google to cancel the New York event, but even the storm can't stop LG from announcing the Nexus 4. The phone leaked extensively, so there's little about it that's unknown (it's based on the LG Optimus G), but let's go over the specs one last time. The LG Nexus 4 has a 4.7" True HD IPS Plus screen with WXGA resolution (768 x 1280, 15:9 aspect ratio). It's powered by a Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset with four Krait cores at 1.5GHz, 2GB RAM and Adreno 320 GPU. The phone is running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (so no Key Lime Pie) and you get a choice between 8GB and 16GB storage options (there's no microSD card). The camera on the back has an 8MP sensor and it has a cool feature called Photo Sphere. It's like...

Nokia Lumia 822 for Verizon goes official

        Nokia's flagship Windows Phone 8 handset may be exclusive to AT&T for the first half year, but its Lumia 820 sibling is not - Nokia just announced the Lumia 822, Verizon's version of the device. The phone comes fully loaded - it has the Nokia Drive+ offline navigation with US maps pre-installed, the City Lens and Transit apps and several camera apps (Smart Shoot, Cinemagraph, Panorama and Creative Studio). The free, no-ads, no-log-in Nokia Music streaming service will be available on the phone too, to make use of that fast 4G LTE connectivity. CDMA and LTE with Verizon bands aside, the Nokia Lumia 822 features the same specs as its GSM twin, including an 8MP camera with Carl...

Nexus 7 Tablet Runs Chromium OS via Port

    The famous Nexus 7 tablet is preloaded with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, but you already knew that. What you didn’t know is that several others platforms were ported to it and among them we must mention Ubuntu and now Chromium OS. Ubuntu was not only running on the Nexus tablet, but Canonical also released an official tool to help Linux fans install the OS, version 12.04.    Back to the Chromium OS, the platform is being ported to the Nexus 7 right now, thanks to the work of a developer named Hexxeh. Chromium has the advantage of supporting Chrome extensions and apps, that allow you to use Chrome on a mobile device just like you would on Windows, Mac or a Linux desktop. The port is a work in progress for now...

Google Nexus 10 previewed before announcement, loved

Google's upcoming Nexus 10 slate has leaked out in live photos, confirming previous rumors for the Samsung made tablet. Set to be officially unveiled on Monday, the device packs impressive specifications, headed by a stunning 10.1" display with a iPad beating resolution of 2560x1600 pixels and a pixel density of 298.9ppi.        The Google Nexus 10 will feature a brand new dual-core Samsung Exynos 5250 chipset, whose Cortex-A15 cores run at 1.7GHz. The new silicon is reportedly faring better in benchmark scores than the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro and Apple's custom A6, but we got no actual scores confirming that. The Mali -T604 GPU is also brand new - it should be able to handle the massive amount...

Samsung I9260 Galaxy Premier images leak

We have seen some images of the Samsung I9260 Galaxy Premier in the past but they have mostly showed the front of the device. But these latest pictures show us some of the other sides of the device, including the back. The Galaxy Premier looks very similar to the Galaxy S III from the front, but has a prominent chrome strip around the bezel. The sides use glossy plastic and the back looks like it is matte, just like on the Galaxy Nexus. From the previous leaks we know that the Galaxy Premier has a 4.65-inch, 1280 x 720 resolution display, 8 megapixel camera, dual-core 1.5GHz processor (we're guessing the TI OMAP4470), 1GB RAM, 8 megapixel camera, 16GB internal memory and microSD card slot. One would assume why Samsung would be...

Apple introduces 7.9-inch iPad mini, coming on November 2

The Apple iPad mini rumors have been around for ages, but the slate finally went official. Apple has just introduced the latest iOS slate – the 7.9-inch iPad mini. The late Steve Jobs famously slammed 7-inch slates for having no real-life application, but it seems Apple has changed its stance on the matter as the iPad mini is now a reality. It packs a 7.9-inch LED-backlit IPS screen with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels – the same as the first and second 9.7" iPads. This time around the pixel density goes higher at 163ppi thanks to the smaller display. The iPad mini is powered by the older generation Apple A5 chipset we already met within the iPad 2. In case you need a refresh it has a 1GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, PowerVR...

Nokia Lumia 510 goes official, brings WP7.5 and a 4-inch screen

It's time for the Nokia Lumia 510 to get out of hiding and step into the light - it's an entry-level Windows Phone smartphone, which has some pretty decent specs. Starting with a 4" WVGA TFT screen, the Lumia 510 takes the lead on the Lumia 610, which has a 3.7" screen. The Lumia 510 also features a 5MP autofocus camera with VGA video recording (matching the 610). Camera geeks might also want to know that the camera has an f/2.4 aperture and wide angle 28mm focal length (in 35mm equiv.). So far, so good. The Lumia 510 is powered by a Snapdragon S1 processor, though we still don't know the exact specs (it's more than likely it uses the same Cortex-A5 CPU as the 610). The phone has only 256MB of RAM, which will probably limit app compatibility...

In an interview with IBN Live LG's Head of Mobile Product Planning, Amit Gujral, has let slip that the much-anticipated and not-so-secret LG-made Nexus 4 is the real deal and it's going to be unveiled at Google's Android event come October 29 (that's next Monday if you don't have a calendar at hand). He also made it clear that the device will become available in India "by the end of November", leaving us in the dark regarding global launch of the next-gen Nexus device. Amit Gujral also shed some light on the specs of the device, confirming it will have a 4.7" 1280 x 768 display, 2GB of RAM, a quad-core CPU with each core clocked at 1.5 GHz (rumors point at an S4 Pro chipset), an 8 MP snapper and 8 GB to 16 GB of storage excluding...

Samsung finally seeds Jelly Bean to UK Galaxy S III owners

    Granted, the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update to the oh-so-popular   Galaxy S III has been seeding at some places for more than two  weeks now. But the UK owners (and those in a list of other  European countries) were not lucky enough to make it in the first wave. Starting this week though, users in UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Austria, Spain, Switzerland, and Romania are finally able to enjoy all the improvements brought by the latest Android release. The Galaxy S III owners in the US however, are not as lucky, as there's still no certain Jelly Bean US release schedule for the Galaxy S III. All we have as a promised release date is the vague "in the coming months". In case you're still pondering...

HTC DLX for Verizon Wireless leaks out in live photos

Live photos of the upcoming HTC DLX Android powerhouse for Verizon Wireless have leaked out, showing off a gorgeous 5" 1080p display. The smartphone in the images appears closely related to the recently announced, Japan exclusive HTC J butterfly. The rest of the HTC DLX's known specifications include a quad-core CPU (likely a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro), 2GB of RAM, 8MP main camera, and full connectivity suite, headed by Verizon's sweet 4G LTE service. HTC DLX will unsurprisingly boot Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with Sense 4+ out of the box. We can reasonably expect that the HTC DLX will go official in the immediate future in order to make it to the retail shelves on time for the holiday shopping frenzy. We will certainly keep a...

Google Rumored to Prepare $99 Nexus tablet for Q4 2012

We’ve heard this rumor once before and now here it is again: Google is said to be preparing a $99 Nexus tablet for a Q4 2012 unveiling, according to Taiwan makers. These are supply chain makers I’m talking about and the $99 Nexus tablet comes with an ARM architecture single core CPU 8950 made by a Chinese company. Said company is WonderMedia Technologies and on board of the new and cheaper tablet we’ll also find a HUVA TN panel made by Taiwanese HannStar Display, according to the same sources. Quanta Computer will handle production of the device per se and this Taiwanese company has been associated with making the Kindle Fire tablet and BlackBerry PlayBook, which turned out fine. Quanta and ASUS declined to comment. One thing is...

HTC One S Special Edition pops up in Taiwan dressed in white

An HTC One S Special Edition has appeared on the company's Taiwanese website. Dressed in an eye-catching white color scheme with red accents, the smartphone packs a cool 64GB of built-in memory. The rest of its specifications are no different than what the regular One S has to offer. When we reviewed the elegant HTC One S, one of our biggest grievances with the handset was the fairly limited, non-expandable memory it offered. It looks like the Taiwanese manufacturer has addressed the issue in a seriously appropriate fashion with the special edition of the 7.8mm thin smartphone. Currently, there is no information on retail availability of the HTC One S Special Edition outside of its home market. We surely hope this will change...

The best pics of the LG Nexus phone so far show all the details

Beside the high-quality photos there is not much new information about the LG Nexus phone. Still, we get its model name - the LG E960 - and a codename - the Mako. We'd say that if it really turns out to be this year's Nexus device (something our fellow tech journalists are not quite sure), it makes all the sense in the world to be called the Google Optimus Nexus, right? The pre-production phone these guys have runs currently the latest Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2. On the front, there's a 4.7-inch screen with a resolution of 768x1280px. On the back, there's a 8 megapixel camera.       The LG (Optimus) Nexus phone The real disappointment is on the inside. Despite the presence of the powerful quad-core Qualcomm...
