BlackBerry 10 running "Aristo" specs leaks...

After yesterdays leak of the BlackBerry "Laguna" comes another specs leak of another BlackBerry 10 device. This time named the Aristo which is part of the A-Series devices and looks to be a global device and not for any specific carrier (like the Laguna). The specs of this bad boy are nothing to frown about.

Specs include a 4.65-inch OLED display with a resolution of 720x1280, powered by Qualcomm's S4 Pro quad-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz with 1GB of RAM. Camera's include a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls. 16GB of internal storage is on offer but that can abe expanded by means of a MicroSD card.

Battery capacity is at 2,800mAh which should really make sure the device gets through a day or two. As I've said with the Laguna, there is only specs at the moment which would make me estimate that the device may be on sale within the next 6 months (I may be wrong).

LG unveils Optimus Vu II...

With the Samsung Galaxy Note II becoming available around the world, LG has unveiled their second generation phablet, the Optimus Vu II. Design wise, the Vu II retains the 5-inch 4:3 ratio display but gains, wait, looses some bezel to make the phone smaller.

Specs wise, as I've said the Vu II retains it's 5-inch display with a unusual 4:3 aspect ratio and a resolution of 768x1280, the Vu II gains some horsepower from Qualcomm's S4 Pro quad-core chip clocked at 1.5GHz and paired with 2GB of RAM. Camera's on the device include a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls. Internal memory hasn't been specified but expect it to be around 16GB.

The phone will be available in Black, White and Pink and be priced at 966,900 won (around £628) but no officially pricing or release date has been stated.

Steve Wozniak's Gadget bag...

Ever wondered how many gadgets the Woz carries around with him? Well, brace yourselves..

This all adds up to $25,000 and includes, two iPads, four iPhones, two Galaxy Nexus's, a kindle, two iPod nanos, Macbook Pro and more. I just hope for Woz's sake that his bag doesn't get stolen by anyone, Luckily, He does have a list of everything in it, probably preparation in case such thing happens. I know I wouldn't carry around this much gadget. Especially in my town (chuckles).

Motorola announces Defy Pro...

Yesterday, Samsung announced the Galaxy Chat, a BlackBerry style Android phone. Today, Motorola is announcing a BlackBerry style Android phone by the name of Defy Pro. The design of this handset is ridiculously similar to that of the BlackBerry Curve 8900.

The Defy Pro packs a 2.7-inch QVGA (240x320) display, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with another front-facing camera for video calling. It has 2GB of internal storage that can be expanded by MicroSD card (up to 32GB). The device has a physical keyboard is built into the device, much in the same way as the Galaxy Chat by Samsung and seems to be running Android 2.3 without any mention of an update to Android 4.0, we can probably presume that it would be running Android 4.0 if it were compatible by now.
