Samsung Galaxy S4 Active Caught On Video With Slower Snapdragon CPU And 8MP Camera

Posted by Jeremiah Rice in Galaxy S4 Active, News, Samsung

The ruggedized Galaxy S4 Active is real. It's been spotted on camera before, not to mention in various less dramatic leaks. The folks at MobileTechReview got their hands on one, and it looks pretty close to finished, assuming that they don't already have a production model. In the video below, you can see the tougher red chassis (probably water and dust-resistant to some degree) and physical navigation buttons, as previously featured on Samsung's Rugby models.

What's new in the video is confirmation about the guts of the S4 Active. While the Bosnian-localized unit makes it hard to verify, the narrator mentions a Snapdragon S4 Plus processor, notably less powerful than either the standard Exynos 5 octa-core or Snapdragon 600 featured on the standard Galaxy S4.

Galaxy S III LTE Shows Up On T-Mobile's Site, Leaked Doc Suggests June 5th Launch Date

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy S III LTE, Galaxy S III Mini, Leaks, News, T-Mobile

Ah, T-Mobile's illusive Galaxy S III LTE. We've known it was coming for months now, and the long-overdue device has now silently showed up on T-Mo's website sporting a $70 down payment. Unfortunately, there's no release date in sight, but a leaked internal document obtained by TmoNews shows June 5th as the official launch date, suggesting that the 'add to cart' option here is merely a pre-order option.

Android 4.2.2 ROM Leaked For The International Galaxy S III, Galaxy S4 Goodies Contained Within

Posted by Jeremiah Rice in Android OS, Galaxy S III, Jelly Bean 4.2, News, Samsung

Good morning, Galaxy S III users. Want to start off your week with a spiffy new software build? Then the folks at SamMobile are happy to oblige. They've got their hot hands on a leaked build of the Android 4.2.2 (JDQ39) update for the S III, packing the standard Jelly Bean 4.2 upgrades and more than a few features back-ported from the newer Galaxy S4. The flashable ROM posted to the site isn't exactly official - it's cobbled together from dumped files - but flashing it via Samsung's Odin software won't void your warranty.

Some of the features already spotted in the leaked ROM include the lockscreen, driving mode, Voice Controls, an updated Settings app, gallery, S-Voice, new screen modes, and a bunch of other software and visual tweaks from the TouchWiz build first seen on the Galaxy S4, as well as a host of new settings and the Smart Watch widget.

Elusive White Nexus 4 Spotted By AndroidAndMe, Said To Launch June 10th With Android 4.3

Posted by Ryan Whitwam in LG, News, Nexus 4

The white LG Nexus 4 has popped up a few times thus far, but now it has found its way into the hands of AndroidAndMe. The new image looks legit to us, so it appears this device is finally going to be a reality. What's potentially much more interesting is the assertion that Android 4.3 is going to be announced along with the new color option on June 10th.

The white N4 reportedly has the same vibe as past white Nexus devices with a white back and black screen surround on the front. Although only the back is visible in the pic on AndroidAndMe.

evleaks Posts Photo Of Unknown LG Handset – 'G2? Just A Guess…'

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Leaks, LG, News, Rumors

If there's one thing that never goes out of style in the Android community, it's rumors. Oh, and leaks. Around Google I/O and "Nexus season," leaks and rumors abound. Some Nexus-related, some … not. Today, one of tech's most prolific leaksters, evleaks, let loose an image of an unspecified LG handset. Posting to Facebook, evleaks asked "G2? Just a guess…" as speculations began whirling.

The device, which has an undeniably sparse front side (of which the most interesting aspect is the speaker grill), bears all the normal sensors, no hardware keys or buttons, a huge screen, small bezels, and a sheet of glass that appears to feature a comfortable (yet subtle) curve on all sides.

Upcoming Tegra 4-Powered Toshiba AT10LE-A Tablet Leaks, Shows Off Android 4.2.1 And A Keyboard Dock

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Leaks, News, Toshiba

Toshiba is kind of all over the place when it comes to Android. It has released some absolutely fantastic hardware in the past, but the lack of support for said hardware is awfully damning when it comes to recommending its devices in good conscience.

Still, it looks like the company is knee-deep in the development of a new tablet, which is currently being called the "AT10LE-A," and is said to be powered by NVIDIA's newest baby – the upcoming Tegra 4. While this isn't the first device we've heard about with T4 roots, it is the first tablet leak we've seen thus far.

HTC M4 Details Leak – It's Basically Just A Smaller, Less-Powerful One

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Leaks, M4, News

If we showed you a picture of the rumored HTC M4 right now, you would just think it's the One. Since HTC's newest flagship has such a fantastic design, it only makes sense (I really love that pun when talking about HTC) that the company would apply the same design elements to other handsets, as well – but the M4 is essentially a direct copy, only smaller. So it should be perfect for those who don't like huge phones. There's a downside, however: the M4 also takes a hit in the spec department, leaving this device in the mid-range department.

Rumor has it the M4 features a 4.3-inch 720p display, an unnamed dual-core processor, 16GB of storage, and the trademark UltraPixel camera.

Full Details (And An Image) Of The Optimus G Pro Surface Ahead Of Next Week's Event

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, Leaks, News, Optimus G Pro

LG has an event coming up in New York City on May 1st. That is exactly six days from today. And do you know what it's going to announce? The Optimus G Pro for the US. But if just knowing that isn't enough, pictures and full details of the device have hit the 'net today, leaving essentially nothing for LG to actually announce next week.

So, there's the phone, sporting full AT&T branding. No surprise there. So far as the specs are concerned, it's essentially everything you'd expect (mostly because it's practically identical to the international version, save for one small detail), according to Engadget:

5.5" HD IPS Panel (vs.

Download: Pre-Release Facebook Home App Leaks Out, Partially Functional

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Applications, Leaks, News

Update: It looks like Facebook has killed the leak remotely. Users who installed it are now reporting that their feeds have gone dark. Oh, well. It was fun while it lasted.

Facebook Home, the company's trumpeted home screen replacement effort, has been a popular point of discussion since before it was announced.

For those who missed the announcement, Facebook is looking to replace your device's normal launcher with a continuous in-your-face social bonanza, featuring a huge news feed on your lock screen, a new pop-up chat called Chat Heads, and pretty complete integration with the social network, allowing for status, photo, and other updates on the fly.

Evleaks Shows A Closer Look At Facebook Home, Pretty Much Looks Like Facebook All Over Your Phone

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Leaks, News

Who's ready for the Facebook phone?! Honestly, it really doesn't matter either way – it's coming whether you want it to or not. And as much as people are trash-talking this upcoming device, one thing's still pretty certain: everyone is curious about it. What's it going to be like? How much Facebook are we talking about here? Should I be afraid? While we can't answer or quantify all of those, we can shed a little light as to what the UI should look like thanks to a new post by @evleaks over at 9to5Google.
