Hasta La Gadget!

The HTC One was a decent Android device and was one of the better built Android devices of 2013. Unfortunately due to bad timing of its release and unforeseen delays, it allowed other competing devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 to gain some ground on it. However we are in 2014 and we’re hoping that HTC will not make the same mistake with the HTC One’s successor, which is believed to be the HTC M8. Now we have heard lots of rumors about its specs but we have not actually managed to catch a glimpse of the device, at least until recently thanks to a photo recently uploaded by @htcfamily_ru.

Based on what we can see in the photo, it seems that the rumors might have been right about the design of the device. The HTC M8 appears to share a lot of design features with the HTC One, although the main difference would be the fact that there appears to be dual cameras, which have also been a rumored feature, and how there are now dual LED flashes which should help improve photos when taken in low-light settings where flash might be required. Of course the photo we are looking at could be a fake for all we know, so do take it with a grain of salt for now, but in the meantime who else is excited for the HTC M8? Be sure to check back with us during MWC 2014 for all the details!

Over the past week, we have heard plenty about the Samsung Galaxy S5, and have even come up with a round up story on all the possible angles that this upcoming flagship device will be able to take. Well, earlier this morning we also reported on the multiple Galaxy S5 variants that might make their way to the market eventually, and this time around, Indian import data of a certain SM-C115 “mobile camera” device has appeared, showing that this device is currently undergoing some testing in India. A “mobile camera” does point to the very real possibility of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom, which would continue off from where the Galaxy S4 Zoom (as depicted above) left off.

With the competition getting stiffer with each release, we don’t expect Sony to be resting on their laurels this year. According to the rumors, Sony is expected to announce a new handset at MWC 2014 in the form of the Xperia Z2. Now based on what we can see, the Xperia Z2’s design isn’t much to shout about, but thanks to a couple of newly leaked photos, what we have in the photo above is apparently a Sony Xperia handset with extremely thin bezels. Like we said, photos of the Xperia Z2 have been leaked in the past and the bezels in those leaked photos are definitely not as thin as the one pictured above, leading us to believe that this could be an unannounced Sony device that could be announced later in the year.

However given the photo quality and the fact that the entire photo itself is rather blur, it’s hard to tell if the photo is even genuine in the first place, although the icons and the background are distinctively Sony. In any case make what you will of it, but a device with such thin bezels is definitely something we wouldn’t mind checking out. Thinner bezels tend to lend itself to the illusion that the phone’s display is bigger than it really is, which is great for those who would prefer if their devices were not of the phablet variety. In the meantime what do you guys think? How would you feel about a handset with extremely thin bezels?

According to the rumors, Samsung is expected to announce the Samsung Galaxy S5 ahead of MWC 2014. Of course this was a rumor but it looks like the rumor could soon be proven true, thanks to Samsung who has recently started to send out invites to an event that they will be holding on the 24th of February which they have also posted onto their Twitter account. According to the invite, Samsung will be hosting an Unpacked 5 event in Barcelona which is also where MWC 2014 will be held at.

Now based on the invite and the “5” in the name, it can only be assumed that this could be a Galaxy S5-related event. The design of the invite is also reminiscent of the faux leather back of the Galaxy Note 3 which would suggest that maybe the Galaxy S5 will not be using metal as previously rumored, but could turn to the faux leather back instead, which we guess does feel a bit more “premium” compared to glossy plastics. However we also expect that Samsung has other handsets to announce at MWC 2014, so there is always the off-chance that the event might not even be Galaxy S5-related at all, but either way we will be live at MWC 2014, so be sure to check back with us then for the details.

Amidst all of the MWC 2014 madness that will see major releases from all of the big players such as Nokia, Samsung, and LG among others, there will be some of the other smaller players such as ZTE of China. Granted, China is the country with the world’s largest population of over 1 billion easily, and if you were to control just a small percentage of the local market alone, it would be easy to say that you have it made to live a comfortable life for the rest of your days on earth. The thing is, there are always new horizons to conquer, and it seems that the ZTE Geek with Tizen OS has been rumored to arrive at MWC 2014. (more…)
