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.

Samsung are offering a special "Student Edition" bundle for those heading back to school/college/university by bundling a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with a keyboard, making it easier to type stuff up on the tablet and a USB adaptor which I'd say would be used to connect a mouse, but hurry because the offer will on be on for a limited time (19 Aug - 1 Sept) at BestBuy for $249.99.

LG Optimus Vu coming to US this quarter...

LG has officially announced that the infamous Optimus Vu will hit U.S. soils this quarter. If you remember we had a leak showing us a Verizon branded Optimus Vu sporting Verizon's LTE bands. The Optimus Vu itself hasn't sold well, partially due to only being sold in Asian markets only.

Hopefully, the Optimus Vu will be met with good perception and furthermore be offered in more countries. Although I'm not particularly a fan of it's 4:3 ratio screen it may be perfect for you.

The specs of the Optimus Vu are impressive and makes the phone a definite one of a kind, It packs a 4:3 aspect ratio 5.3-inch 720p display (768x1024), on the Verizon network it's said to be powered by a Snapdragon S4 processor with 1GB of RAM which'll most likely mean it's LTE compatible, It has two cameras, one 8-megapixel rear-facer and a 1.3-megapixel front-facer for video calls. 

The device contains 32GB of internal storage that can't be expanded. Battery capacity is a reasonable 2080mAh, which should keep the device running for at least a whole day depending on usage. The Vu was unveiled running Android 2.3 but this looks  to be running Android 4.0.4.

Powerful HTC smartphone on the horizon...

A new HTC smartphone is in the works, this has been revealed by a benchmark done on the device via. GLBenchmark. The device is Verizon bound with 4G LTE radios on board and is looking to be a successor to Verizon's HTC Rezound based on the model number the device is showing.

One thing about this device is that it is packing a 1080p (1080x1794) screen, that's right a full HD display on a smartphone, another interesting spec is the device's quad-core Snapdragon processor paired with an Adreno 320 GPU clocked at 1.5GHz. This device is going to take the market by storm but all that grunt under the hood will mainly be used to control that dense screen.
