There’s nothing like a good dual-LED flash upgrade after a long set of months and years only using the one. That’s what’s suggested for the iPhone 5S this week, with a second unique photo of the machine’s back top-end appearing with the same setup: two bulbs, better than one. Could this one, single, unmistakable differentiator
If you hadn’t already guessed that the August 7th New York City event being held by LG would be home to their next-generation hero, follow-up to the LG Optimus G from last year, you may as well give in this weekend. Today a set of three (count them – three!) screenshots have leaked with 1080p
It’s time again to have a look at a device that isn’t necessarily supposed to be seeing the light of day right quite yet. This machine you’re seeing here was photographed by a micro-blogger going by the name of Palm, he or she having been relatively unknown – but notoriously Samsung-friendly to those that have
With the announcement that Google would be shutting down its Google Reader service on July 1, many users have gotten bent out of shape because of the news. However, numerous developers have been hard at work on creating replacements, while other devs are busy improving their already-existing solutions. However, it seems that Facebook may joining
If you’re thinking the leaked photos you’re about to have a peek at below are going to be released as a final-form Nokia EOS, you might want to re-think your summer smartphone buying strategy. What we’re seeing here are several angles on a less-than-production-quality iteration of a Nokia phone – not quite the same as
We’ve heard a lot of chatter about Samsung’s third-generation Galaxy Note, most notably that it’ll come with an ever larger screen this time around. However, we’ve never actually seen any purported photos of the device, but that has changed. A few leaked images have appeared that show off what is said to be a prototype
Much-rumored EA game Mirror’s Edge 2 seems to have been prematurely given the official nod today, with a listing for the unannounced title spotted at EA’s help site. Swiftly pulled – though not before a screencap could be taken – the listing didn’t actually have any details of the game, but its existence alone is enough to seemingly confirm that it’s in the pipeline, potentially for the Xbox One among other consoles.
The EA help page blunder isn’t the only Mirror’s Edge 2 tidbit we’ve seen lately. Listings for the game showed up briefly on both Amazon Germany and Amazon Italy, Eurogamer reports; one page suggested it was for the Xbox 360, while the other used a mock-up of the Xbox One box-style.
EA is playing it coy, meanwhile. “We appreciate fan enthusiasm for Mirror’s Edge, especially fans throughout the retail channel” the company told IGN UK in reference to the Amazon pages. “This is not official EA material. We have nothing to announce at this time.”
Microsoft has already said that it will have fifteen titles to discuss for the new Xbox One at E3 next month, with at least one from EA (FIFA 2014). Mirror’s Edge 2 would seem like a good addition to that line-up, having been hotly anticipated over the past few years.
If the game is real and indeed fast-incoming – and all signs point to “yes!” – then EA will likely detail it properly at its EA 2013 press conference. That’s due to take place on June 10, leaving plenty of time for more inadvertent leaks and listings.

The road to an HTC One release with the United States’ largest carrier has been a confusing one, that’s for certain. But with a few pointed bits of analysis and a brief chat with notorious tipster insider @evleaks, SlashGear has come to understand the obviousness of the truth. The Verizon HTC One is real, and there’s more than one good reason why it hasn’t appeared on store shelves yet.
The HTC One is finally reaching a point at which its production is at full steam, HTC having at first faced some supply problems at manufacturing plants overseas. If HTC were to have worked with Verizon to release the device any sooner than now, their supply problems might only have multiplied.
According to @evleaks, Verizon’s preference for keeping phones stocked for close to a year – where possible – remains solid. Because of this, it would be essentially against policy, so to speak, to dump the DROID DNA just six months after its initial debut – it was first introduced back in November of 2012, mind you. It’s also true that the longer a phone remains in production, the cheaper it gets to manufacture: this is another reason why the one hero phone model works so well.
So will Verizon wait until November 13th, 2013 to put out another HTC phone? Probably not.
The image you’re seeing here comes from Evleaks, sourced from someone “that needs advance knowledge of upcoming devices.” Likely someone in advertising, public relations, or accessory manufacturing, that is. Here you’ll see all of the HTC devices that’ve been carried by Verizon over the past couple of years alongside the “One”.
It would appear that the device tipped yesterday – the T6 – isn’t quite locked in to this manifest as of yet.
While nothing in the way of release dates is confirmed as of yet, our discussion today suggested an “early summer” release for the HTC One, likely before July, with the HTC “T6″ being picked up by Verizon in the fall. The T6 will fully replace the DROID DNA while the HTC One will allow for a transition point between the two.
Now here’s the burning question: are you willing to wait a few more weeks for the HTC One on Verizon’s 4G LTE network? Or is this your breaking point?
BONUS: As you may have figured out from the listings of HTC devices by code, the M7_WL is the model coming to Verizon. The HTC One is called “M7″ in code while the “WL” always works with GSM/WCDMA/CDMA2000/LTE radio bands. The same is true of the T6, it appearing as the T6_WL “Crater” earlier this week.
The T6 (that, again, being the enlarged HTC One closer in size to the DROID DNA), has also appeared in these forms via HTC Soku :
T6_UL : cassiopeia : GSM/WCDMA/LTE
T6_U : columba : GSM/WCDMA
T6_ULA : delphinus : GSM/WCDMA/LTE
T6_WL : crater : GSM/WCDMA/CDMA2000/LTE
T6_WHL : eridanus : GSM/WCDMA/CDMA2000/LTE
This doesn’t necessarily guarantee the device for each of the main carriers here in the USA, but it’s definitely encouraging!

On February 25, we reported that Samsung would be stopping work on Bada OS while merging some of its features into Tizen OS, making the latter operating system backwards compatible with Bada apps. Almost a month later, word surfaced yet again that the Korean company will be releasing a high-end Tizen smartphone in August or September of this year, but all went silent again. Now a Tizen-based Samsung smartphone has been imaged and leaked online.
The images appeared over on the Greek Tizen community website Tizen.gr, with the “About phone” menu showing the codename “Redwood” and the model number being listed as GT-18800. They also reveal that Samsung has implemented S-Voice, S-Beam, and Wi-Fi Direct into the handset, which is a welcomed addition. The operating system is Tizen 2.1.
The handset is slated for release to 500 developers who are taking part in the Tizen Developer Conference, and so it is possible this is a development-only handset that won’t ever be an official, commercially-available phone. No specs on it were revealed except for the resolution of its display, which sits at 720p HD. The images are too dark to see anything about the body of the phone, unfortunately.
As we mentioned, Samsung will reportedly release a Tizen handset this fall, per a statement made by the company’s mobile business Executive Vice President Lee Young Hee at a conference in Seoul. According to Hee, the phone will be “in the the high-end category. The device will be the best product equipped with the best specifications.” No specifics were provided, however.
Such a statement followed a leaked image of a Samsung Tizen smartphone that was imaged back in May 2012, with not much being said about it except that it featured a 720p display and a 1.2GHz dual-core ARM chipset. Such a device wasn’t intended for consumer release, however, being aimed at developers working on Tizen apps.
