LG Nexus spotted in the wild?

The phone is display in the picture with a rather different to the usual design of LG's smartphones. It looks similar to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus but has a longer bezel at the bottom and the back doesn't have the plastic-y battery door.

The phone featured in the photo is a prototype, so the design covering the entirety of back won't be featured on the final product and thank god it won't, it doesn't look nice at all. However, the picture clearly displays that the phone will run Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" which is awesome.

We should see this device very soon and since my Nexus S will probably be incompatible with the next version of Android, this or one of the other Nexus phones seem a fitting upgrade. 

"LG Nexus 4" spotted in CarPhoneWarehouse

The inventory listing at the CarPhoneWarehouse has yet again leaked another device, this time the "LG Nexus 4". So far we know that there will be multiple Nexus devices but only the LG (due to this leak) and Samsung's (due to a previous leak) has been confirmed so far.

With that being said, what does the 4 mean? Well, LG's Nexus device is said to be based on the LG Optimus G with a 4.7-inch screen so it can't be referring to the screen size. Whatever it may mean, we shall find out pretty soon.

Camera's include a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3-megapixel camera for video calls.

The price for the device is £479.99 on PAYG and is said to be "coming soon", how soon we don't know but expect it in the coming months for the holiday season.

Samsung Omnia M now available...


Months after being announced, Samsung's Omnia M device is now available in India with a price tag of Rs. 18,650. The device runs the very outdated WP7.5 and will obviously receive the WP7.8 update that brings some of the features seen on WP8 to the phone. Specs wise, the device doesn't make much of an impact.

The device has a 4-inch WVGA (480x800) Super AMOLED display, powered by a single-core processor clocked at 1GHz with 384MB of RAM. The device has two cameras, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 0.3-megapixel front facing camera. It also has 4GB of internal storage which isn't good and due to the Windows Phone incompatibility it doesn't have a MicroSD card slot to expand it either.

Asus unveil Transformer AiO

Asus has announced a new AiO (All in One) device called the Transformer AiO at Computex 2012, This device is amazing being a desktop screen but once detached from the dock can be a normal tablet. Not only that but it can dual-boot into Windows 8 or Android 4.0. Asus are calling it the "World's first Windows RT consumer device".

The device comes with a massive 18.4-inch display or in other words, nearly 2 times the size of the iPad's display. It runs on Android 4.0 and Windows 8, Win8 is said to be the default OS of the tablet but Android can easily be accessed through a button on the device.

I believe this is a must have for someone looking for a normal Windows powered desktop computer but also wants a Android tablet, because this can replace both devices with one. One thing to consider is the size of that screen, people are gonna have to get used to these displays as I see many more coming in future.
