When Nokia announced the 808 PureView last year, many were wondering if Nokia would be launching a similar product except with Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform on board. Well if that’s what you were hoping for and the Lumia 920’s camera technology isn’t up to snuff compared to the 808 PureView, you might be in luck thanks to a rumor which suggested that Nokia could be announced a Lumia 920 with the 41MP PureView technology on board. This rumor comes from Flavio Pic who revealed that this alleged device has been given the codename Project EOS and that this handset will most likely be revealed at MWC 2013 which will be taking place towards the end of February.

Flavio also seems to be under the impression that Nokia could be launching 6 new handsets in the first half of 2013, and one of them is the rumored metal-body Lumia 920. If that is the case, current Lumia 920 owners might be feeling a little miffed that their supposedly flagship device is being replaced so soon. Either way since these are merely rumors, we will be taking them with a grain of salt and suggest you do the same, but what do you guys think?

Do you like math? If you have answered in the negative, then perhaps you might have an opposite reply if I were to ask you whether you are down for some iPhone Math action. Well, the rumored “iPhone Math” will not come with a 4” display, but it has been whispered to feature a 4.8” display that ought to help it keep up with the rest of the Android-powered market, but here we are with word from Digitimes that Apple has plans to introduce a couple of 4” iPhones later this year that will feature in-cell touch.

According to industry sources cited by Digitimes, the iPhone with a larger display would not be released next year. Do you think that Apple will be able to remain competitive in the smartphone market if they continued to usher in a 4” display on a smartphone throughout this year? It is said that one of the two 2013 iPhone models will take aim at the mid-range market segment, but both will feature in-cell touch technology. What do you think of this rumor – is it legit or not?

Rumors are swirling about Samsung‘s upcoming flagship device, and while it will no doubt come with improved specs with a possible launch date sometime this spring, exact details are still scarce. However, it’s said that Samsung will hold a press event on March 22 to show off the Galaxy S IV, and will release the new phone to the public sometime in April.

The rumored April launch goes right along with a couple of other rumors that we’ve heard in the past, but the March 22 announcement date is new. According to the Asia Economic News, Samsung will host its own press event in the US to unveil the Galaxy S IV on March 22. Some previous rumors pointed to a possible announcement at Mobile World Congress in February, but a lone press event seems more the company’s speed.

According to SamMobile, the company has changed the project codename of the Galaxy S IV from Project J to Project Altius, and the Korean-based company plans to start shipping the new phone starting on April 15. The Galaxy S IV also looks to be taking a page from Apple’s book and is said to arrive in two colors: black or white.

SamMobile also says that the Galaxy S IV will, indeed, have wireless charging capabilities. Samsung will sell a separate dock and back cover for the device, and will make the wireless charging kit available a couple of weeks after the phone’s launch. The battery inside of the Galaxy S IV is said to be packing 2600mAh of juice. To compare, the Galaxy S III uses a 2100mAh battery.

HTC’s Sense skin for Android has long been a bloated skeuomorphic mess, with aluminum ring pulls, flip clocks and fancy weather animations. If these leaked screenshot are accurate, though, that all looks set to change—for the better. More »

We heard about the Eee Pad MeMO tablet from ASUS at CES a couple weeks ago. It’s essentially an Ice Cream Sandwich-equipped 7-inch tablet running a Tegra 3 chip and 1GB of RAM on the inside. However, we’re now hearing about a 10-inch version that will supposedly come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and a Tegra 3 chip clocked at 1.2GHz.

The 10-inch display is said to have a resolution of 1280×800, which is the same resolution as the Nexus 7, so not a huge feature for this new tablet, but it is a budget device after all. We’re also looking at 16GB of internal storage, a 5MP rear-facing camera, and a 1.2MP front-facing camera — predictable specs that don’t seem too far off of what we’d expect. There’s even an unboxing video below that shows the rumored tablet in all its glory.

Like many devices out on the market currently, ASUS will offer the MeMO Pad 10 in a bevy of colors, including a gray/blue combo, pink, and white. There’s no word on pricing or availability, but it’s speculated that ASUS will announce the MeMO Pad 10 at Mobile World Congress next month in Barcelona.

It’s said that ASUS might price the upcoming 10-inch tablet at around €300, or $399 in US dollars. We already know that the Eee Pad MeMO will cost $249, so we’re prone to believe that the price point for this 10-inch variant will only be slightly more expensive than that. However, we don’t expect it to jump into $500 territory like the iPad or Nexus 10.
