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).

BB10 sporting BlackBerry Laguna leaked, headed for Verizon...

BlackBerry 10 is almost upon us, I'm very excited to try it and see how well it does. Today's leak gives us details on a BB10 running device named the Laguna, the devices specs have leaked but no pictures of it, yet.

Specs include a 4.2-inch display with a unusual 768x1280 resolution, the device will be powered by Qualcomm's dual-core S4 processor (MSM8960) paired with 1GB of RAM. Camera's on the device include a 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling.There's 16GB of internal storage on offer but that can be expanded by MicroSD card (up to 32GB).

Since there is only specs leaked at this moment, I'd expect to see the device in 4-6 months. Price will depend on the aesthetics of the phone therefore made me unable to come up with an estimate.

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.

We've previously had a leak regarding a Plus version of the Samsung Galaxy S2. Now, It has popped up in benchmarks on GLBenchmark sporting the model number i9105. This benchmark also confirms some of the previous leaks given specs and corrects some as well.

It seems the AT&T bound LG Escape has been outed on Twitter by EVLeaks. The leak included the press shot seen above and specs of the device. Looks wise, the device looks fairly thin, on the front above the display we have branding and below we have 3 capacitive buttons. The back looks textured with nothing major besides the hole for the camera.

Specs include a 4.3-inch IPS display with qHD resolution (540x960), powered by a dual-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz with 1GB of RAM which runs Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich". Cameras on the device include a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera.

Availability wasn't leaked but expect to see this device soon, since they already have a press shot of it.
