Lenovo’s first Snapdragon 800 phone leaked as the K6 or X910

Lenovo's first Snapdragon 800 phone leaked as the K6 or X910

Despite the fact that Lenovo hasn’t yet embraced the Snapdragon 600 SoC, it looks like the Chinese company’s finally giving Qualcomm a proper chance with the latter’s more powerful Snapdragon 800. Starting yesterday, several cheeky images of an unannounced dual-SIM Android phone — codenamed K6 or X910 — popped up in Lenovo’s official Chinese forum. The photo after the break shows AnTuTu indicating the presence of the relatively new MSM8974 chip (with Adreno 330 GPU) plus a 1,920 x 1,080 display (which looks like a 5-inch panel to us); so unless the app made a mistake, what we have here could be Lenovo’s upcoming flagship device.

While not much else has been said about the phone, one of the leaksters described it as thin and light, and that it felt good in hand. But to be honest, we’re not too thrilled with the design ID here, especially with that K860-inspired back. What’s interesting, though, is that according to a source of ours, the “X” in X910 may be a wildcard that depends on the kind of deal Lenovo made with Qualcomm. At this point, we’ve been told to assume it’ll eventually become the K910, which would, sadly, make this phone an uglier successor to the Intel-powered K900. Either way, chances are we won’t be seeing many of these outside China, anyway.

LG inks Sky deal for exclusive Now TV streaming access on smart TVs

LG inks Sky deal for exclusive Now TV streaming access on smart TVs

When LG invited us to an event in (thankfully) sunny London, we thought we’d be hearing about 4K, curved OLED and huge price tags. It wasn’t about hardware at all, in fact, as LG announced it has partnered with Sky to add the Now TV movie and sport streaming service to its smart TV line-up. Starting in August, Now TV content will be exclusive to LG sets for “a minimum of 12 months.” Those purchasing new home entertainment kit will get three months of free access to Now TV’s movie catalogue, as well as three free 24-hour sports passes. If you’re in possession of an LG smart TV from this year or last, or a 2013 era Blu-ray player or home cinema system, you may miss the introductory offer but will still be able to download the Now TV app. The only kicker is that Now TV doesn’t currently broadcast HD content, so don’t expect those movies to pop on your 84-inch 4K monster.

Jimmy Fallon: Daughter’s Name Revealed as Part Of His Monologue On ‘Late Night’ (VIDEO)

On “Late Night,” Jimmy Fallon had to talk about some big baby news that broke in the media, and it wasn’t the royal baby. He revealed the name of his own new baby girl.

“Welcome to Late Night, I’m your host, Da-da,” he joked to open the show. “Her name is Winnie Rose Fallon and she’s so cute. I’m giving you all the details. She’s 5 lbs, 9 ounces. I got down to the ounce — that’s how I weigh myself as well.”

Fallon said that he and his wife, Nancy, are so happy. In fact, Fallon hasn’t even taken off his hospital bracelet yet. But perhaps the most surprising thing about his big news was that it was such big news. His wife, Nancy, gave birth on Tuesday morning. Prior to that, it hadn’t even been reported that the two were expecting.

Jayma Mays’ Ear Bleeding Story Grosses Out Everyone On ‘The Tonight Show’ (VIDEO)

Maybe Jayma Mays was tapping into the OCD of her “Glee” character a little too closely. She told a story on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” that had her fellow guest, Ashton Kutcher, literally rolling around on the couch in discomfort. It all started with an earache.

Mays thought she had an ear infection. That is, until blood started pouring out of her ear. So she thought maybe she’d burst her eardrum. But when she went to her doctor, the situation was far more disturbing — and gross. A nurse put drops in her ear and “it started to drown the insect that was living there, so it climbed out of my ear,” Mays explained.

According to her doctor, the problem was that her ears were actually too clean. Apparently, ear wax keeps insects out of our ears. So put away those cotton swabs and keep your ears bug free!

Dell officially unveils Precision M3800 workstation at SIGGRAPH, gives rumored specs a nod

  Dell officially unveils Precision M3800 workstation at SIGGRAPH, gives rumored specs a nod

Remember that Haswell-powered Dell workstation that popped up last week? The company is officially ready to acknowledged its silicon, announcing on its corporate blog that the machine is being unveiled at SIGGRAPH this week. Dell is still reluctant to get into specifics, but confirmed on a teaser page that the Precision M3800 would contain a 4th Generation Intel Core-i7 CPU, NVIDIA Quadro graphics and a 3,200 x 1,800 QHD+ multi-touch IGZO display. Even better, all that is set to fit into a tight 0.7-inch chassis that weighs in at 4.5 pounds. Mum’s still the word on specifics, but previous leaks assigned the machine 15GB of RAM and either a 1TB HDD or a 512GB SSD. Dell hasn’t let the workstation’s price slip either, but we don’t expect it to be cheap — nothing thin and powerful ever is.
