Sony Nexus X back leak

One upcoming Nexus smartphone is a sure thing, the LG Nexus 4, but could Google have partnered with more hardware vendors for multiple Nexus devices this time round? There have been persistent rumors that this could be true, and here we have a purported leak of a Nexus device made by Sony.

The blurry photos you see here were posted on Picasa and titled Sony Nexus X. We’re seeing a device styled much like Sony’s Xperia line but with on-screen navigation buttons and Google’s logo joining Sony’s on the back, but based on the quality of the photos this could very well be a fake. So what do you think?

Asus 4.7-inch Padfone 2 demoed in video with new slimmer tablet dock

ASUS Padfone 2 smartphone and tablet dock leak

ASUS is a pretty innovative hardware company. It pretty much rules in the motherboard space and fed the netbook craze by pumping out new models practically every week. So, when we first saw the original Padfone we were impressed but not surprised. The Padfone was the ultimate all in one device, a 4.3-inch smartphone that could slide into a tablet dock to take on slate form which could then dock with a keyboard to become a notebook.

Unfortunately, the Padfone hardly found its way to the international market after being unveiled early this year, but fortunately, you may (hopefully) soon be able to pick up its successor. ASUS has a launch event scheduled in Milan on October 16th, which you can watch live, for the unveiling of the Padfone 2.

The second iteration of the Padfone will have a larger 4.7-inch 720p display, run on a quad-core SoC with LTE connectivity and sport a 13-megapixel rear camera. More importantly, the Padfone 2 tablet dock is now much slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, which admittedly was quite chunky — we’re sure to the dismay of owners of the original Padfone smartphone/dock who’ll find their devices incompatible with the newer version, but that’s life in the fast-moving tech world.

Upcoming Google Nexus 4 smartphone by LG poses for camera in leaked pics

LG Google Nexus vs. iPhone 5 front in hand

Whether it’s going to be called the Nexus 4, Nexus G or Optimus Nexus it’s now pretty much a sure thing that LG is going to be Google’s next Nexus hardware partner. We’ve already seen hazy photos of the rumored device making the rounds but now the folks over at the Belarusian Onliner got their hands on a pre-production LG Nexus and just published a bunch of beauty shots of the LG Nexus. They’ve even done us the favor of doing a side-by-side comparison with the iPhone 5.

The LG Nexus 4 device going by the model number E960 (a.k.a. Mako) will feature a 4.7-inch display with a 1280 x 768 resolution and run on a 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 SoC and 2GB of RAM. The device Onliner got hold of came with a relatively paltry 8GB of internal storage and an 8-megapixel rear camera, though we’re hoping that at least the former will get a bump up in the production model.

HTC One X white back close-up

Let’s face it, you could do a lot worse than the HTC One X; after all, it sports one of the best displays out there and it proved a swift performer throughout our testing. Well, according to a purported leak, it now seems that the company’s flagship smartphone will be getting, together with a plus sign, a slight bump in specs.

An anonymous XDA developer going by the handle @Football4PDA has been actively tweeting on a number of new HTC devices and, in a latest tweet, has leaked a bunch of specs for the rumored HTC One X+ (previously leaked as Endeavour C2). The new device is said to feature a faster version of Nvidia’s Tegra 3 chip, the AP37, over the current AP33 found in the HTC One X. The new chip boasts slightly faster quad-core speeds of 1.6GHz and single-core speeds of 1.7GHz and 25% faster graphics performance, with the ability to drive displays up to 1920×1200.

Motorola Droid RAZR HD leaked with 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 and 720p display

Motorola DROID RAZR HD back and side

The upcoming Motorola Droid RAZR HD hasn’t really been kept a secret. The Verizon-bound handset has received several earlier leaks but this latest one is the most comprehensive yet.

The successor to the extremely popular Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX maintains some of its siblings’ looks, as you can see from the leaked photos above. The back cover has the familiar Kevlar pattern, though it now extends across the back of the device. Gone is the hump of the previous generation and the rear camera is now centered at the top of the device.

Motorola had touted the thinness of the original Droid RAZR when it was released, though later traded some of it for an extended 3,300 mAh in the RAZR MAXX. We loved the full day battery and so did many of you. Well, as you can see from the images, Motorola isn’t making the same mistake again, and the Droid RAZR HD seems to slide between the RAZR and the RAZR MAXX in terms of thinness. Thus we can assume that inside we still might find a beefy battery.

Samsung Galaxy S III teardown: optically laminated Super AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 2

We love using our gadgets, you know when they are actually fully assembled and functioning, but we also have a bizarre affinity to watching them get torn down into dozens of separate parts giving us a glimpse of what’s inside.

The latest device to have received the teardown treatment is none other than the hero smartphone of the moment, the Samsung Galaxy S III. As usual the good folks over at iFixit did the slicing and dicing, which has revealed a number of tasty bites.

HTC Desire C red front

Although HTC’s One smartphone series has stolen the limelight the manufacturer hasn’t forgotten the rest of its lineup. HTC has just announced the Desire C, a new budget Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich device. However the Desire C is no upgrade to the Desire S, instead it’s been scaled down to take its place between the new 3.7-inch One V and the 3.2-inch Wildfire S.

The Desire C is a 3.5-inch QVGA (320×480) device with a 600Mhz Snapdragon processor. As a reminder the Desire S sports a 3.7-inch WVGA (480×800) display and a 1GHz processor, but that position has now been taken by the One V.

Nexus One unlock screen

I’ve had the Nexus One ever since it was released and although I’ve moved on to several other smartphones, it has remained my backup device. Unfortunately the Nexus One suffers from a serious hardware fault, the power button will, after a while, require more force to operate and will finally give up, leaving you with no obvious way to unlock or power on your device.

You can surely send it back to be repaired, but after the first fix, my Nexus One suffered from the same fault after a few weeks.

Well there is actually life after the power switch, as long as you know a couple of tricks and first and foremost, how do you actually turn on the smartphone without the power button.

ASUS Padfone unboxing

It’s exciting enough to take one new device out of the loneliness of its factory box and into the world, but how about three? And then how about if those three devices can morph into each other, giving you a smartphone, a tablet and a laptop.

This is the ASUS PadFone, a 3-in-1 device that go from a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD 960×540 smartphone to a 10.1-inch 1280×800 tablet and then dock with a keyboard to take laptop form. The PadFone is a dual-core Snapdragon S4 device running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich that was unveiled early this year at Mobile World Congress. It also has an 8-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and a variety of other connectivity options, with nothing to be jealous of other high-end smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy S III in handNo surprises here, the Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone is official. The Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich device will now happily take the throne as Samsung’s flagship smartphone and it has been donned with some amazing hardware and software features.

First-off it features a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a 720p resolution. This is unfortunately not an AMOLED Plus RGB screen but rather it features the same PenTile Matrix RGBG technology as the Galaxy Nexus. You’ll find a new 1.4GHz quad-core Samsung Exynos 4412 SoC inside that should keep things speedy and a relatively large 2,100mAh battery to power it, and yeah that’s actually a removable one. The Galaxy S III can also do wireless charging.

The Galaxy S III will be offered in three storage capacities, 16, 32GB and 64GB and the ability to add more via the microSD card slot. It has 8-megapixel rear and 1.9-megapixel front-facing cameras with the a 990ms start-up time (they could have just said 1 second), 3.3 frames-per-second burst shooting ability and will also happily pick the best shot out of eight for you.
