An alleged screenshot from the rumored HTC G2 was leaked, showing off how Sense 5 scales to smaller displays. The HTC G2 is rumored to be HTC’s next budget device, with a 1GHz processor and a 3.5″ HVGA display. The screenshot is indeed 320×480, or HVGA, so that matches up. However, the focus here is Sense 5. While Sense 5 has a tiled widget look on… Read more
Google now is slowly, or even possibly quickly for some of you that are just getting your hands on Jelly Bean, becoming a big part of our Android experience. I know I couldn’t wait to have Google Now and worked hard to get Google Now working on my Epic 4G Touch running ICS. Before, I never used to put addresses in with my calendar events, but now… Read more
We’ve previously had a 5″ version of the LG Optimus G Pro leaked headed for Japan, but this is something new altogether. These leaked photos show a modified version of the OG Pro, clocking in at a massive 5.5 inches, the same size as a Galaxy Note II. And if you look closely, the similarities don’t just end at size. But that’s a rant for another… Read more
A company called SlinkyMe seemed to have accidentally posted a video of something called the Chromebook Pixel. They claim it was hackers, but it could have been an accident for all we know. The video has been removed since, but we have this screen cap of the laptop. It is said to have a 2560×1700 resolution touchscreen, and from the looks of it, it’s… Read more
If you’re the flashing type and have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III, you’re in for a treat. The first 4.1.2 build has been leaked for the Verizon S III. It might not be completely stable, as it is not a finished build but just a leak, but it should be a fun ride. The standard stuff applies: Flashing can be dangerous, no one is responsible for any… Read more
If you paid attention when the DROID DNA was being leaked but not yet released, you’d remember that the name used for it was the HTC DLX. Today, the specs for a new phone for Verizon were leaked. Take these with a grain of salt, but they are from @LlabTooFeR so they should be fairly reliable. The phone is called the DLXPLUS, and has specs matching the… Read more
Now, we don’t know if this is real or fake, but here is a photo of the white Nexus 4, complete with silver trim and the sparkly back. It looks pretty convincing though, and hope inspiring. If the Galaxy Nexus and the Optimus G (the device the Nexus 4 is based on) come in white, why not the Nexus 4? We don’t know of any release date or confirmation that… Read more
Here we have a photo of what seems to be the rumored Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. We aren’t sure that it’s real, but it’s hard to deny that it looks like a Samsung. Rounded similarly to the Galaxy S III, the tablet actually features physical buttons. This is a first for a Samsung tablet (aside from the original Tab 7 running Gingerbread) and a very strange… Read more
Everyone has their own opinion on Sense, and those opinions vary immensely. Hell, it’s one of the most controversial topics of Android. But ever since HTC released Sense 4 on the HTC One X, Sense has been slimming down. Even if you don’t like Sense at all, Sense 4 was a huge improvement over the mess that was Sense 3.5. It was slimmed down, the look… Read more
A photo of the Galaxy Note 8.0 has been leaked by the folks at SamMobile, and it really provokes some thought. Let’s dive deeper into this, shall we? First of all, the device has a speaker grille up top. That’s generally a feature reserved for phones, not tablets. Second, every Samsung Galaxy Tab to my knowledge has had a flash. My original Tab 10.1 had… Read more
