The Oppo Find 7 has been making its way around the internet for a while now, with Oppo teasing a few features here and then, and confirming others along the way. Now the next question we’re sure many are wondering about is when will the handset be launched? After all the Chinese company has been teasing us for months, all of which seems to suggest an announcement in the near future, but unfortunately that has not happened yet. Well the good news is that your wait could soon be over as Oppo has announced on their Twitter account that they will be present at MWC 2014, suggesting that the mobile conference could be the platform that they will be using to make their announcement regarding the Find 7 and other handsets they might have in the works.
Of course it is entirely possible that the Find 7 could be announced before then and they are simply showing off the handset, but we guess we will just have to wait and find out. So far what we do know about the handset is that it will feature a 5.5” 2K display with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor under the hood clocked at 2.3GHz. It will also come with 3GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage, and a 13MP rear-facing camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. We can only presume that more details will be shared at MWC 2014 and as we will be live at the event ourselves, do check back with us then for the details!

Samsung won’t surprise anyone by releasing multiple variants of its upcoming flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5. Perhaps it may surprise us by releasing two different versions of said flagship, “Prime” and “Standard” to be precise. This according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, who you might recall from a never ending list of Apple related rumors. Kuo makes some predictions for Galaxy S5 this time around, and while he often hits the spot when its related to Apple, it remains to be seen just how credible his intel on Samsung’s future plans is.

Posted in: Today's Chili
We have read about how Sony intends to prevent leaks of their upcoming handsets through a particularly easy method – by blocking benchmark apps from running on their prototype devices. It sounds like a no-brainer, doesn’t it? However, that move would not stop a potential leakster from shooting a photo of an upcoming device and sharing it with the rest of the world over the Internet. This is the case with the Nokia Lumia 1520V, where more live images of the device has hit the news.

LTE speeds have been picking up in, er, speed, and it would certainly make the standard issue Wi-Fi connection at coffee shops snail-like in comparison whenever one is connected via your mobile device. Well, many tablet manufacturers seem to be happy rolling out devices in variants, where one will be a Wi-Fi only model, while the other would have the added ability to roll with 4G radio connectivity as well as a SIM slot.

Mobile internet has rapidly evolved within the last decade. One can’t even imagine that there was a time before 3G not too long ago, when downloading the simplest of files on a mobile device could end up taking a lot of time. Much of the developed world has now become accustomed to 3G, 4G LTE in most cases, having up to 75 Mbps speeds on mobile devices. Though later this year it would be nothing compared to what South Korean carriers are up to. SK Telecom and LG Uplus are both expected to launch their 3band LTE-Advanced service later this year, offering subscribers speeds up to an eye-watering 300 Mbps.
This new service will be based on carrier aggregation, to achieve higher mobile internet speeds multiple bands are combined, SK Telecom has combined one 20 MHz bandwidth and two 10 MHz bandwidths, it is already conducting tests on this new service. LG Uplus, South Korea’s third largest carrier, has also gone down a similar road. This new service is set to offer speeds as high as 300 Mbps, almost four times faster than conventional LTE, and even faster than 150 Mbps LTE-Advanced and 225 Mbps wider-bandwidth LTE-Advanced. Both carriers are expected to launch this service later in 2014, while SK Telecom is already prepping up to showcase speeds of up to 450 Mbps at Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona next month.
