Hasta La Gadget!

Earlier this year at MWC 2014 and Microsoft’s BUILD 2014 conference, Nokia took the wraps off a handful of devices, like the Nokia X series of Android smartphones, as well as devices like the Nokia Lumia 630, Lumia 635, Lumia 930, and so on. Presumably Nokia has more handsets in the works and thanks to a recent post by the ever-reliable @evleaks, there are apparently 8 Nokia handsets we can look forward to.

According to @evleaks, he has revealed 8 devices, all of which are codenamed. They are the Ara, Leo, Moonraker, Onyx, Peridot, Superman, Tesla, and Vantage. Now there’s no telling what kind of devices these are and for all we know, it could range from low-high end products so we’ll definitely be keeping our eyes peeled for more info.

There is a good chance that these are devices we have not heard of, especially since the codenames for Nokia’s previous devices have already been revealed, except for the Nokia Monarch which is basically T-Mobile’s Lumia 635. It’s a little too early to tell what these devices are but either do check back with us at a later date for more information.

In the meantime for fans of Nokia products, it looks like the Finnish company (and soon to be owned by Microsoft) has a ton of new products up their sleeves that they have yet to reveal. So, who else is excited at the idea of more Nokia smartphones arriving in the future?

We’re not yet in that crazy pre-launch rumor phase with the upcoming LG G3 phone, but things may start to heat up now: we have obtained a photo from a source that has proven reliable in the past, and we are 99.99% sure that this is indeed a photo of the LG G2 successor.

Given that the GPU is a Qualcomm Adreno 330, I would assume that the main processor aka SoC is the Snapdragon 801 since there’s no reason to use a Snapdragon 800 at this point in time. They are both pin-compatible and the 801 is designed to be a drop-in replacement.

The most interesting information that Snapdragon 801 is giving us is the timeframe. Because Snapdragon 805 should be available for Q3/Q4 handsets, the G3 should come out before Sep/Oct. The June 2014 G3 launch rumor seems believable.

Note: Antutu is apparently not displaying the proper DPI information. A previous version of this post referenced 640 dpi, but it wouldn’t quite match a 5.2″ – 5.5″ display, which is the most probable size for the G3.

The most pertinent information here is the 2560×1440 screen, which is totally insane by today’s smartphone standards. We have reached out to LG, and they have confirmed that their next product will indeed have a 2560×1440 display (2K). However, that’s all the information that the company is willing to comment about at this point.

If you thought that the 6.1″ 2560×1600, 498DPI IGZO display from Sharp was impressive, LG is productizing this first, which is not a complete surprise since LG showed a prototype to the world last year.

The bezel seems a hair thicker than it is on the LG G2, but without a complete picture and the actual screen size (which is possibly between 5.2” and 5.5”), it’s difficult to reach any conclusion.

Previous rumors called the LG G3 LS990 and did mention the 2560×1440 resolution along with the Snapdragon 801 chip, both of which would be confirmed by this photo, and that seems to put the Mediatek octo-core rumor at odds. Since LG and Qualcomm have been working very closely, and since LG seems to put most of its software efforts in improving the apps, I doubt that the Mediatek rumor is true – we’ll see.

The internal storage of 32GB would make sense, but isn’t confirmed yet. The LG user interface is also said to have been modified in favor of a “flat” design, but this photo doesn’t help us confirm that either. If you are curious, the LG G3 interface is supposed to look like this.

So, the Samsung Galaxy S5 has already seen its global launch, and I am quite sure that those who have picked up the smartphone over the weekend would have been more than pleased with their purchase. Having said that, it is time to focus on yet another Samsung Galaxy S5 variant, where we will take a look at the Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom this time around, where the very same phone is also known as the K Zoom.

While the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active did not really manage to light up the smartphone world by leaps and bounds, it still has done its fair bit to add more glamor to the Galaxy range of high end devices, throwing in water-resistant capability to a certain extent. Having said that, why not continue in the right direction? That is what the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active is all about, where it has been rumored earlier this year, and here we are with @evleaks having tweeted that there are already 277 active APKs that will arrive with the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active right from the get go.

The brand new HTC One M8 comes in three different color finishes: Glacial Silver, Amber Gold, and Gun Metal Gray. All those are pretty “safe” choices as they’re relatively tame and to a certain extent pretty classy as well. However if you were looking forward to something more striking, you might be interested to learn that there could be a red version of the HTC One M8.

This is according to @evleaks who revealed that Verizon will be getting a special version of the handset that comes in a Glamour Red finish, which we guess is a tip to Verizon’s nickname being “Big Red”. Back in 2013, Sprint was given the same treatment with a red HTC One of their own too, but we guess this year the luck falls to Verizon. (more…)
