Samsung is known to develop a number of variants of its flagship devices. Earlier this year it released the Galaxy S4 smartphone and followed it up with a rugged water and dust proof variant, a mini variant and a photography centric variant. So it doesn’t come as a surprise to hear that Samsung might be working on a number of variants for its other flagships. The latest from Korea’s ETNews suggests that the company might be developing rugged water and dust proof variants of the Galaxy Note 3 as well as the Galaxy S5.

It doesn’t seem too good to be true that a rugged Galaxy Note 3 is currently in the pipeline, it is likely that Samsung might launch it somewhere down the line, but we still can’t say that for sure seeing as how the company itself hasn’t made an indication of such a variant. Its the Galaxy S5 rumor that seems too good to be true at this point in time. The report claims that Samsung’s next flagship smartphone will be water and dust proof out of the box. There is still a lot of time left till the Galaxy S lineup reaches the end of its release cycle, and there isn’t a lot of information on the Galaxy S5 to go on at this point in time. What has been consistently rumored though is the possibility that Galaxy S5 might swap plastic for a metal body, but that too remains to be confirmed. No word as yet on when a rugged Galaxy Note 3 will be launched.

The fruit of Google and Motorola’s marriage was revealed in August, the company’s much rumored Moto X smartphone has been around for a couple of months now, it is the first flagship smartphone that Motorola has released as a wholly owned Google company. Best Buy has slashed the price in half and is now offering the Motorola Moto X for $99 on contract. The move comes merely after a month has passed since the official launch of the Moto X.

The Moto X has a 4.7 inch OLED 1,280×720 pixel resolution display. Under the hood a qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor functions as the engine, being backed up by 16GB or 32GB of onboard storage. Its a pretty decent smartphone that runs Android 4.2.2 out of the box and has been carried by all four major U.S. carriers. Best Buy’s $99 price for the Moto X requires users to take out a two year service contract with any of those carriers, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile to be precise. Those who have been holding out on purchasing a Moto X, or any flagship Android smartphone for that matter, might find themselves by Best Buy’s offer given the fact that other flagship smartphones usually cost $100 more right now.
