ASUS has an entire lineup of tablet and smartphone hybrids that it calls the PadFone. Just last month two additions were made to the lineup, the PadFone Mini and the PadFone E. Today yet another model has been launched which sticks to the core philosophy of merging together a smartphone and a tablet, while allowing users to separate the two whenever they want. The PadFone Infinity Lite has been launched today, and it builds up on its predecessor, the PadFone Infinity 2, which was launched in the second half of 2013.

In the latest update from Nokia (version 2.2.0.1) that will target the Touch system app on Lumia Windows Phones, users will be pleased to know that they have a brand new setting that one is able to play around with – the ability to disable button vibration whenever one touches any of the capacitive buttons. In a nutshell, you can opt to turn the vibration off if that is not your cup of tea (or if you prefer to maximize the battery life on your device), or to have it turned on whenever you feel that you would like a little bit more feedback on your smartphone.

It does seem as though the first of Ubuntu-powered smartphones will be introduced sometime later this year, where the manufacturer would be European designer BQ as well as Chinese phone manufacturer Meizu, where the latter has had some pretty interesting releases in the past. According to Canonical and Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth, extra details will be revealed at the upcoming Mobile World Congress that is happening in Barcelona, Spain, later this month, although there were hints that Meizu’s handset will be more or less the already released Meizu MX3, albeit it will ditch the Android platform and run on Ubuntu instead.

Some unidentified South Korean sources have hinted at a possible lock screen effect of the Samsung Galaxy S5 which has been depicted on the right. The animation allegedly ran on a Galaxy S4 smartphone, and happens to be a departure from the standard issue Ripple or Flare lock screen effect choices. Of course, there is no guarantee that this is not any mere custom animation which has arrived alongside the Android 4.4 KitKat update on the SK Telecom version of the Galaxy S4, and neither could it be a sideloaded ROM. Chances are the Samsung Galaxy S5 will most probably arrive with yet another new version of TouchWiz, and it could very well feature the new lock screen as shown as well.

Devices that aren’t specifically developed to be immune to the elements can suffer damage at the hands of water and dust. Though those days are long gone when customers didn’t exactly have the option to purchase a device that could withstand the elements. Samsung already offers a similar version of the Galaxy S4, the Galaxy S4 Active. Rumor has it though that the Galaxy S5 itself will be water and dust proof, essentially eliminating the need for another such variant altogether.
