HTC doesn’t measure the quality of its flagship’s camera in conventional terms. Last year original HTC One came with an Ultrapixel camera and its successor stuck to this as well. Though this time around the company has made a major improvement. HTC One M8 has dual cameras which are undoubtedly touted as one of the core selling points of this device. The company isn’t restricting access to the two cameras, as promised, it has released the Dual Lens SDK Preview for HTC One M8′s Duo Camera.

Samsung is known for launching multiple variants of its flagship devices. Galaxy S4 Active is the rugged, water and dust-proof variant of last year’s flagship smartphone. AT&T picked up the variant at launch and has been offering it to subscribers since. There’s good news today for Galaxy S4 Active owners on AT&T. Finally the AT&T Galaxy S4 Active Android 4.4 update has been released. The update is being rolled out over-the-air so it may take a while for it pops up on all devices.

The Nokia Lumia 630 was announced and launched earlier this month, including the Dual SIM version, where it is said to retail for $169 during the announcement. Well, here is a closer look at the smartphone that allows you to make use of a couple of SIM cards in a single device, making it ideal for those who do a whole lot of traveling. After all, you can always keep one SIM card slot free for whatever foreign SIM card that you’re going to use, while maintaining your very own phone number in your home country.

Alternatively, how about compartmentalizing your life into work and play SIM cards? That might make it easier to differentiate between who’s able to contact you in the future. Save time and effort with the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM, where this smartphone will run on the Windows Phone 8.1 platform that is capable of showing off both SIM accounts separately, labelling them clearly as 1 and 2, in addition to highlighting each with different colors so that no confusion will arise.

Not only that, another advantage of a dual SIM phone is the ability to overcome ‘not-spots’, since whenever one SIM loses its signal from the network, there is the other one which will in all probability, take over, unless you happen to be underground with tons of concrete blocking you from the outside world.

One of the ways case manufacturers can get a jump on the competition is if they’re willing to begin producing cases for phones that haven’t been released yet. This means that the dimensions aren’t official but they are still willing to take the risk if it means that they will be the first on the market to offer up cases and accessories for a brand new device.

Now thanks to a recent photo by Nowhereelse.fr, a photo of an alleged iPhone 6 case has surfaced and based on the photos, it looks like the rumors could be right when they suggested that the iPhone 6 could see its power/sleep button repositioned. As we can see in the image above, everywhere else appears to be the same.

The volume rocker and mute switch is still placed on the left of the phone, the camera cutout is still in the same time, but interestingly enough to the right of the phone there appears to be a button which we can only presume is meant for the power/sleep button as the top right hand corner is missing any cutouts or buttons.

This photo also seems to be in line with an earlier leaked photo of yet another iPhone case which showed the repositioned button. Of course it is entirely possible that whoever made these cases are basing their designs on the rumors and alleged specifications of the phone, especially since we doubt Apple would be sharing their plans with accessory makers this early in.

We’re not sure why Apple would be moving the power/sleep button but perhaps they have rearranged the internals to accommodate the larger design, who knows, but in any case it seems that the rumors are here to stay for now, so hopefully additional information will surface later that will confirm what we’ve been seeing.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 is quite the smartphone. Not only does it pack some pretty decent hardware under the hood, but it comes with a whopping 41MP PureView camera attached with it. While Nokia’s hardware specs might not necessarily match up with Android at the moment (there are rumors suggesting that Windows Phone 8.1 GDR2 will add 2K display and Snapdragon 805 support), Nokia has made up for it with its camera technology.

Now if you’re wondering just how good and reliable Nokia’s camera technology is, it seems that it’s good enough where Nokia has teamed up with Fabien Cousteau on an underwater dive known as Mission 31, which will basically see Cousteau and his team spend 31 days underwater, a day longer than Cousteau’s grandfather did back in 1963.

Cousteau and his team will also document their entire dive using the Nokia Lumia 1020, but given that the phone isn’t water-resistant or waterproof, we can only assume it will be housed in a waterproof casing to be used during the mission. We’ve seen some pretty good photos taken with the Lumia 1020 and how it has been used to shoot fashion photography, so it will be interesting to see how it holds up in a documentary-like setting.

In the meantime Nokia is inviting users to share photos and videos of their own outdoors adventure and tag the photos with #NokiaMission31. The winner will be flown to a luxury hotel in Florida where they will be trained as an open water diver and with those skills, they will also get to participate in the dive with Cousteau himself. For more information, do check out the video above.
