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.

Asus PadFone successor to come with quad-core and 2GB of RAM?

Remember that phone that turned into a tablet that turned into a netbook? Yes, the Asus PadFone! Well, it's successor may already be in development. Benchmarks have shown up sporting the "PadFone 2" name along with some specs including a quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM running Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich".

The details are very credible since the last PadFone sported a dual-core Qualcomm processor therefore a quad-core processor would be an obvious upgrade to the device. Bare in mind, the actual device is yet to be announced so don't rely on these details delivering. 

More Oppo Find 5 details revealed...

Oppo has been gaining a lot of attention over the last week when initial details of a device, namely the Find 5 included a 1080p display and Qualcomm's newest quad-core krait processor. Well, more details have been revealed which say the device may have 2GB of RAM, 12-megapixel rear-facing camera and a massive 2,500mAh battery.

2,500mAh of battery capacity doesn't sound like much when we see that the Galaxy Note 2 has 3100mAh of battery capacity. Lets hope that this doesn't mean the device will have rubbish battery life because the battery is said to be un-removable.

Oppo to make 5-inch 1080p smartphone...

Oppo -the same company who made the incredibly thin Finder, is looking to make a 5-inch smartphone, altbough the screen size is crazy and this was evident in reviews of the infamous 1st generation of Galaxy Note. The display will be packing a 1080p resolution making pixel density a whopping 441PPI beating the iPhone 5's 326PPI by a long shot.

Not only is the screen crazy, the phone will feature Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor a.k.a the same processor that blew away the competition with crazy benchmarks when it was revealed, this processor will run Android 4.1 out of the box very well.

Until the device is official unveiled, we can only dream and wait but just imagine if you could have the thinness of the Finder as well as all of these specs? It'd dominate the smartphone industry.

Huawei Ascend G330 leaks...

Huawei has a surprise for us in future as today's leak suggests they are bringing a new mid-range Android smartphone to the market. In usual Huawei fashion, this device brings fairly good specs but  probably won't retail for much when it is officially released by them or carrier

So what have we got to look forward to? Well, the G330 packs a 4-inch WVGA (480x800), powered by a dual-core Qualcomm processor (MSM8225) clocked at 1GHz with 512MB of RAM. The device has two cameras, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a front-facing camera for video calling. It has 4GB of internal storage but nothing has been said about a MicroSD card slot but the G330 does run on Android 4.0.


Huawei have themselves a great device, and most likely at a great price as we are yet to hear a price from anywhere, I'd suggest around £150-200, given that the Huawei G300 with the 4-inch, 1GHz processor and 5MP camera retailed for £100 at Vodafone.

Pantech Vega S5...

Today, Pantech unveiled a new Android smartphone, the Vega S5. The device looks to be a "phablet" sort of device with a massive 5-inch screen dominating the front, However something is very different with the Vega S5.

The exact specs are as follows, 5-inch 720p IPS display, powered by a dual-core Qualcomm S4 processor with 1GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and 2100mAh of battery capacity.

The Vega S5 is said to be going on sale in Korea only with pre-orders being taken from the 4th July. Since Pantech usually make their devices available in Korea only, their likely to remain that way with this device.
