Just yesterday Microsoft unveiled Windows Phone 8.1. It will be available for all supported devices in summer, though its quite possible that the Windows Phone 8.1 update might be released on April 14th. Before the update is rolled out Microsoft releases it to developers.

Samsung has a penchant for launching several variants of its flagship smartphone. Come April 11th the Samsung Galaxy S5 is going to be released in more than 100 countries. A couple of upcoming variants have already been rumored, such as Galaxy S5 mini and the Galaxy S5 Zoom. Today a purported picture of the Galaxy S5 Zoom has appeared online. Rumor has it that the device might actually be called Galaxy K Zoom.

If that really is true, then Samsung would be moving away from the naming convention that it debuted with Galaxy S4 Zoom. A similar variant of 2013 flagship was also released last month, the main idea behind this variant is to offer a much better imaging experience, even if that means opting for not so spectacular hardware specifications.

Rumored specifications for Galaxy S5 Zoom include a 1.6GHz quadcore or 1.4GHz Samsung Exynos 5 hexacore processor with ARM Mali-T624 graphics. It may have a 4.8-inch display and 2GB RAM. The Galaxy S5 Zoom might come with Android 4.4.2 KitKat pre-installed.

Evidently the pièce de résistance on this variant will be its camera. Word on the street is that it packs a 20 megapixel rear camera with 10x optical zoom as well as a Xenon flash. Its predecessor, the Galaxy S4 Zoom, had a 16 megapixel camera, so at least that’s an improvement. Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed when or if it intends to launch this variant. [Image via KZoom]

BlackBerry has made some major changes to its device strategy. Last year it only launched four BlackBerry 10 devices, the Z10, Z30, Q10 and Q5. It was expected to launch two more mid-range smartphones but they didn’t materialize, apparently the company cancelled them. We have been seeing leaked images of a seemingly mid-range BlackBerry smartphone, codenamed “Kopi,” for quite some time now. Its unclear if this is one of the devices that the company cancelled, or if its still on the cards for 2014.

From time to time Google tries its hand at something new, something that it has never done before. Word on the street is that a Google wireless carrier service is being explored. Apparently the folks at Mountain View want to launch their very own service and they’re reportedly in talks with Verizon to see if Big Red will let them piggyback on its nationwide network.

South Korean conglomerate has its fair share of smartphones released over the years that will cater to every single budget – all the way from the entry level, stopping by the mid-range before it makes its way to the high end side of things. Well, the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style (also known as the SM-G310HN where its model number is concerned) does seem to be making its way over to Hamburg, Germany, being one of the smartphone models that Samsung has tried to trademark at the beginning of this year, too.
