A few days ago, an alleged render of the Samsung Galaxy S5 made its way online. There is no telling if the render was real or a fake, but it did offer us an insight as to what we might be able to expect from Samsung. Now thanks to a new render posted by Move Player, another render of the Samsung Galaxy S5 has popped up online, this time showing a more “complete” look and comparing it alongside the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy S4. Given that Move Player has been pretty reliable in the past when it comes to leaks and rumors, there’s always the off-chance that this could simply be a fan-made rendering rather than the real deal, so don’t get your hopes up just yet.

However assuming this is the real deal, it looks like Samsung will be making the Galaxy S5 more square-ish compared to its predecessors. Samsung had initially taken the sharp-edged design with the Galaxy S2, but with the Galaxy S3, Samsung had decided to go for a more curved look which was slowly sharpened with the Galaxy S4, and with the Galaxy S5, it seems that Samsung could be returning to its Galaxy S2 roots with the design. The rendering looks pretty sleek, we’ll have to admit, and based on what we can see, it also appears to be thinner than its predecessor, which once again is hardly a surprise. Like we said there’s no telling if this render is the real deal, but if it were, what do you guys make of the design?

According to a recent Snapchat post by Nokia, word has it that the company could be making an announcement in time for Valentines Day. The code in the Snapchat message seemed to suggest that Nokia might announce the Lumia 630 which has been rumored for a while now, and now thanks to a sighting on India’s Zauba record, it looks like the handset is currently undergoing testing in the country and could be getting primed for an announcement in the near future, where if it will not be announced on Valentines Day, it will probably be announced at MWC 2014 which seems to contradict rumors that no new Lumia devices will be announced then.

In any case according to the alleged specifications of the Lumia 630, the handset appears to be a budget device and will not necessarily pack the latest or most powerful hardware. It will sport a 4.5-inch display and a resolution of 854×480, which is pretty low by today’s standards as HD displays appear to be the standard when it comes to low-mid ranged devices. It will also feature dual-SIM support, 3G, and will come with Windows Phone 8.1 preinstalled. As today is Valentines Day, we will be keeping our eyes peeled for more information, so do check back with us later to see if there are additional details to be had.

Back in 2013, Huawei unveiled the Ascend D2 which was the company’s flagship device at that time, which has us wondering if Huawei might announce its successor, the Ascend D3 this year? Perhaps at MWC 2014? Well according to the latest rumors, the answer is yes, Huawei could be set to debut the Ascend D3 at MWC 2014 which will be taking place towards the end of the month, but given that this is a rumor, you should probably try not to get your hopes up. However as we will be live at the event ourselves, do check back with us then to see if there are any Huawei-related news to be had.

So what can one expect from the Ascend D3? If the rumors are to be believed, Huawei’s 2014 flagship smartphone could pack the company’s in-house produced Kirin 920 octa-core chipset clocked at 1.8GHz, although this is not a “true” octa-core per se, but will be based on ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture that is similarly used in Samsung’s Exynos 5 series of octa-core chipsets as well. Aside from the possible octa-core processor, other rumored features of the Huawei Ascend D3 include a 5-inch Full HD display, a 16MP rear-facing camera, and a metal back. As it stands there are other Huawei devices rumored for MWC 2014, such as the Ascend P7 and Huawei’s alleged smartwatch.

It is widely believed that Nokia could announced the Nokia Normandy/Nokia X at MWC 2014, which in itself is surprising given that Nokia is close to being acquired by Microsoft, with Microsoft being one of Android’s rivals with its own Windows Phone operating system. That being said, it looks like one Vietnamese online retailer might have gotten ahead of themselves when they have listed the handset on their website and had attached a price tag to it as well. According to the listing, the price of the Nokia Normandy, or Nokia X A110 as it is supposedly known commercially, is at around $110 after conversion.

However it looks like the retailer might simply be speculating as they have put in its status that the handset has not yet been officially announced, so all the specs you’re seeing above and its price could simply be the result of guesswork and could also be based on the rumors that we have been hearing about so far. The handset has been gaining a fair amount of attention recently, and for those unfamiliar, the Nokia Normandy was allegedly an experiment by Nokia to see what they could do with the Android platform, and it was initially thought to be a prototype and nothing more. But as time went on, the rumors started claiming that the device could be made into a reality and last we heard, Nokia is apparently not stopping there.
