This comes a day after a leak revealed all of the specs which spoiled this smartphones unveiling for me.

The new One X+features the same 4.7-inch SuperLCD2 display with a resolution of 720x1280, powered by a faster Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor clocked at a mighty 1.7GHz (up from 1.5GHz) paired with a gig of RAM.

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.

The HTC One X was a great phone but evidently it didn't sell well, due to the anticipation of the Samsung Galaxy S3. HTC has been readying a plus version of the device and this device looks to have been spotted in an O2 brochure. The phone is pictured with specs and pricing.

HTC Endeavour C2...

After a disappointing year for HTC even with a new range of flagship devices, they just couldn't keep up and now they are loosing money big time. However, HTC could be attempting to fix that by bringing new models to the market. You may have heard of the HTC One X+ for T-Mobile, well it may not be for just T-Mobile as a device by the name of "Endeavour C2" has popped up.

The Endeavour C2 has been said to sport the same design as the current One X available but have a faster processor clock speed, bumping up from 1.5GHz to 1.7GHz. This speed difference may mean that the Endeavour C2/ HTC One X+ will be thicker due to a larger battery. I don't think they'll be any difference to screen size or the a addition of a MicroSD card slot which we'd all love.

ZTE Grand X available early from Phones4U...

The ZTE Grand X was first announced on July 18th and was given a release date of August with Virgin Mobile and Phones4U being partners. However it has been confirmed that the handset is available as of now from Phones4U for free from £20.50 on Orange (200mins, 3000texts and 100mb of internet).

If you remember, the Grand X packed a 4.3-inch qHD display, powered by Nvidia's dual-core Tegra 2 chipset clocked at 1GHz with 512MB of RAM. Two cameras are included, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 0.3-megapixel front-facing for video calling. The device has 4GB of internal storage but the phone has a MicroSD card slot to expand that by up to 32GB. Other than that it runs stock Android 4.0 and will more than likely see the update to 4.1.

The device hasn't yet seen a exact day of availability from Virgin Mobile, however if your looking for a upgrade but don't want to pay much, you must consider this phone. Link to buy is after page break.
