32GB Nexus 7 Shows Up On Staples Advantage For $250

Posted by in Leaks, News, Nexus 7

Add another chapter to the Nexus 7 32GB saga. We've seen it once, twice, three times - and now it has showed up on Staples Advantage (their site for business users) with an estimated availability date of October 18th. That's probably just some sort of placeholder, though - it's highly unlikely that we'll see it show up in just two days' time.

The price shows as a few dollars less than the 16GB version, which lines up with previous rumors that the 32 may actually replace the 16 - a questionable move on Google's part, no doubt. Why get rid of the 16 instead of the 8?

These Photos May Not Show A Leaked Sony Nexus After All – Here's Why

Posted by in Android OS, Leaks, Rumors, Sony

Earlier today, a couple of rather exciting photos found on Picasa began hitting news sites showing what could be a leaked device called the Sony Nexus X. Of course, during Nexus season, any rumor or glance at a possible new device is always exciting, but sometimes it's worth while to take a step back and consider whether what we're looking at is actually what it appears to be. Our penchant for putting leaked images under the microscope led us to do a bit of investigating.

After taking a look at the Nexus X photos, we have some doubts about their validity.

Google And LG Workers Upload Photos To Google+ Using The 'Nexus 4', All But Confirm The Official Name Of The Phone

Posted by in Leaks, LG, News, Rumors

The worst kept secret in the history of Nexus devices just keeps on giving, and this time it looks like we have unofficial confirmation that LG's new device will indeed be called "Nexus 4".

Employees from LG and Google have both uploaded photos to Google+ using the unreleased device, and the EXIF information for the shots both call the camera that has been used 'Nexus 4'.

Both of the photos were taken on Saturday, and uploaded to the social network over the weekend. Jason Parks, a Google employee, still has them on his profile, although due to the sensitive nature of the shots, we've chosen not to publish them.

[Leak] Jelly Bean For The RAZR M Makes Its Way To The Net, Seems To Work Great

Posted by in Leaks, News, RAZR M

Back when Motorola announced the RAZR M, HD, and  MAXX HD, they promised Jelly Bean before the end of the year. Looks like the M may be first on the list to get the update, because a leaked build (4.1.1/9.8.1Q_25/35) showed up online last night. We chose to hold off on posting, as Artem started this thread on XDA so we could get some feedback before telling users to flash a buggy or incomplete ROM. The initial reports have been good, so we feel comfortable recommending the ROM at this point.

As always, though, there are caveats to be aware of.

New Photos Of LG's Nexus Leak Out, Look More Press-y, Just As Bedazzle-y

Posted by in Leaks, LG, News

If you had  your doubts before, they should be all but settled. The rumored LG Nexus phone that we saw the other day has changed hands and re-appeared in high-quality photos on Onliner. Of course, these aren't actually designed for release to the media, as the device still has "Not for sale" emblazoned over the back, indicating that this is a prototype and not a consumer-ready model. However, there is no shortage of brightly lit angles and, for some reason, the phone held up next to a stuffed parrot. All Nexuses should be introduced this way.

The photos don't give us much more information than we've already had.

Galaxy S III Mini Leaks Ahead Of Tomorrow's Announcement - 4" AMOLED, 1GHz Dual-Core CPU, And Android 4.1

Posted by in Galaxy S III Mini, Leaks, News

Yesterday, JK Shin, head of Samsung Mobile Communications, said that the company would be announcing the Galaxy S III Mini in Frankfurt, Germany on October 11th. Looks like we don't have to wait another 24 to get the full skinny, however, as alleged details of the device have already made their way to the internet.

While many users were expecting full GSIII hardware in a smaller package, that doesn't look like it's going to be the case if today's leak is to be believed:

  • 4" WVGA Super AMOLED Display
  • 1GHz dual-core processor
  • 1GB RAM
  • 5MP rear shooter
  • 16GB built-in storage, microSD card slot
  • NFC
  • 1,500mAh battery
  • Android 4.1

Basically, this is just another mid-ranger that Samsung managed to create some hype around by slapping the "Galaxy S III" name onto it.

'LG Nexus 4' Shows Up In Carphone Warehouse's Inventory - Can We Make This Official Already?

Posted by in Leaks, LG, News, Rumors

Oh, look - another LG Nexus leak! I'm already convinced that this is the worst kept secret in Nexus history. Alas, the shiny little beast has made its way into Carphone Warehouse's inventory system as the "LGNexus4," and it looks like we'll be seeing two color variations of the device: white and black.

While we've heard the device could be called the "LG Optimus G Nexus" (effectively making it the worst Nexus name in the history of everything), rumors are still flying around every day. One thing's for sure, though: it's highly unlikely that it will be called the "Nexus 4;" after all, Carphone Warehouse does call the Nexus S the "nexus 2."

Stay tuned - I'm sure this isn't the last piece of leaked info we'll see in the growing LG Nexus saga.

Posted by in Atrix 4G (Olympus), Leaks, News
Last Updated: October 11th, 2012

Soon after Motorola revised its software upgrade timeline, changing the original Atrix 4G's ICS ETA from Q3 2012 to a disheartening "further plans coming soon," a leaked Ice Cream Sandwich build has cropped up on XDA's forums. If you're the owner of an Atrix 4G and you're tired of waiting, there's good news - the leak, which carries an August build date, can be downloaded and installed on your device in just a few easy steps. Here's how it's done:

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).
