More Images Of The Purported LG Nexus Show Up, Look To Be From The Same Source As Before

Posted by in Leaks, LG, News, Rumors
Last Updated: October 11th, 2012

At this point, we've all seen the shiny, glistening, sparkly LG Nexus. Opinions of the look seem to be split right down the middle - some users love it, while others can't stand the thing. Personally, I'm on the fence about it, and I'm equally as skeptical if this is even the final design. For all we know, the prototype was designed this way on purpose so everyone would wonder what Google is thinking (hey, it could happen).

Whether you love it or hate it, there's no doubt you want to see more of it. And now you can - more images of the device showed up on XDA, and they appear to be from the same source as yesterday, now going by the moniker 4shael.

Evidence Mounts For LG Nexus – Caseless Photos, NenaMark Results Surface

Posted by in Leaks, LG, News, Rumors

Earlier this evening, we ran a story containing photos of a purported LG Nexus device obtained (and subsequently photographed) by an XDA user. The photos, along with subtle hints like the presence of a Qualcomm modem and kernel, and the presence of a corroborating FCC filing, had us leaning toward the "legit" side of the rumor spectrum.

Now, it looks like a user of a Belarusian forum called Baraholka (which roughly translates to "flea market") has more photos of the device, posted last week – this time lacking what appeared in previous photos to be a shell or casing that disguised the device's real curves (similar to the case we saw on early Galaxy SIII units).

Leak: Alleged Images Of The LG Nexus Show Up On XDA Forums

Posted by in Leaks, LG, News, Rumors
Last Updated: October 10th, 2012

We've been hearing rumors about an LG Nexus for a while now. At first, we were skeptical. However, as the evidence piles up, we're becoming increasingly convinced that this rumor is indeed legit.

Now, a set of photos have surfaced over at the XDA forums that appear to seal the deal.

The first thing you'll probably want to check out in the above shots is the About screen. The device is running Android 4.1.2 and is dubbed "mako," which just so happens to be a type of shark, keeping it in line with the naming scheme of all previous Nexus devices.

The rumor mill is going strong with Nexus hearsay now, and Android & Me is currently leading the pack with details about the upcoming version of Android and at least one of the devices that will run it. Thanks to "an inside source" A&M is reporting more details about the "customization center," updates to Google Play and Now, and a new feature called "Project Roadrunner" that we haven't previously heard of.

Before we get into Android 4.2, though, there are some more details about the rumored Nexus program that are worth discussing.

Nexus, Nexuses, Nexi

As you probably already know, rumor has it that there will be multiple Nexus devices this year.

Image Of The LG Optimus L9 With T-Mobile Branding Shows Up Online

Posted by in Leaks, News, Optimus L9, T-Mobile

Hot on the heels of AT&T and Sprint announcing their respective variants of the powerhouse Optimus G, the @EVLeaks Twitter account has posted an image of the Optimus L9 with T-Mobile branding.

1

For those who may not be familiar with the L9, it's a mid-ranger that was announced back at the end of August:

  • 4.7" IPS display
  • 1GHz dual-core processor
  • 1GB RAM
  • 4GB storage
  • Android 4.0

Of course, we can't guarantee that the T-Mobile variant will house the same guts, but it's unlikely that they'll change it up too much.

On the software side, the L9 also features a proprietary translation app that LG claims can translate up to 44 different languages using the device's camera.

32GB Nexus 7 Shows Up In Leaked Carphone Warehouse Screenshot

Posted by in News, Nexus 7

You know what I hate about the Nexus 7? Nothing. But I dislike the limited amount of storage - 16GB just isn't enough, especially considering the size of games like Horn and The Bard's Tale. What I'd really like to see is a 32GB version of the device, and according to a leaked Carphone Warehouse screenshot that showed up over at Droid Life, that dream may actually come to fruition.

1

OK, there are actually a couple of things to talk about first, so let's start with the obvious: ZOMG a Nexus 2! That's actually how CW lists the Nexus S, so it's nothing of concern to, well, anyone.

TouchWiz-ified Jelly Bean For Sprint's Galaxy S III Leaks On XDA, Eager Upgraders Have A Field Day

Posted by in Galaxy S III, News

Sure, the Galaxy S III is the first major flagship device to get Jelly Bean outside the Nexus line. That's not fast enough for you, though, is it? Of course not! We can do better! Or, more accurately, XDA can do better. In fact, a TouchWiz Jelly Bean ROM has found its way to the development forum giant's threads already!

The build is still unofficial and obviously there are inherent risks to flashing it. Some users are reporting trouble with MMS, and as usual, root is not guaranteed to remain intact. Be sure to read through the thread before doing anything fancy with your phone.

The LG Venice (AKA The Optimus L7) With First-gen Snapdragon Leaked For Boost Mobile, Exactly No One Celebrates

Posted by in Boost Mobile, LG, News, Optimus L7

Remember a few months ago when LG showed off its new Optimus L series, with three new Android-powered smartphones across several price points? Yeah, neither do we. But in any case, the biggest and relatively baddest of those phones will be available on Sprint subsidiary Boost Mobile sometime in the near future, under the new alias of the LG Venice. EV Leaks got a hold of an official photo of the device - we've only got their word that it's coming to Boost, but they're usually spot-on with this sort of thing.

The L7 was announced with a 4.3-inch, 480x800 IPS display, a 1Ghz Snapdragon S1 (yes, S1) processor, 4GB of storage plus MicroSD card expansion, standard 3G and Ice Cream Sandwich.

[Leak] First Images Of The Verizon Galaxy Note II Show Up Online, And It Has Branded Home Button

Posted by in Galaxy Note II, Leaks, News, Verizon Wireless

We already know that the Galaxy Note II will be making its way to Big Red eventually, and we assumed it would look identical to the international version. And it basically does, according to some leaked images that showed up today. Only, it has Verizon branding in places that no phone should ever have carrier branding of any kind: on the home button. I really hope this is a test design.

It's not that anyone should be ashamed that they're on Verizon, but, personally, I think the huge "Verizon 4G LTE" logo on the back is sufficient branding. Clearly, the folks at Big Red do not share my sentiments.

System Dumps Leak For The Sprint And AT&T Galaxy Note II Variants

Posted by in AT&T, Galaxy Note II, Leaks, News, Sprint

Today is just full of juicy info about US variants of the Galaxy Note II! Earlier today we saw confirmation that Verizon will be getting its own version of the device, thus completing the circle of the Big Four. Now, system dumps for both the AT&T and Sprint versions have leaked, giving developers a chance to take a closer look at various parts of the systems before the actual release, and possibly port the ROMs to other devices.

File list:

Sprint:


AT&T:


Unfortunately, the build.prop file is missing from the AT&T dump; thankfully it is present in the Sprint dump, so we've embedded it below.
