Google Nexus Prime Info Leaked by Samsung

Samsung Romania’s Twitter account seems to have tweeted information and specifications of the Google Nexus Prime which is said to be manufactured by Samsung.

The device reportedly has a 720p HD (1280×720 pixels) screen (Super AMOLED HD) and will be the firstphone to run Google’s Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS Version 4.0.

Prime is the codename but it might end up being launched officially as the Nexus Prime itself.

There might be more than one Ice Cream Sandwich device launched at the same time with rumours indicating that Motorola and LG might launch their devices on networks such as AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile etc.

Droid Bionic sign-up page now live, coming this summer

Droid Bionic was announced by Motorola at CES 2011 and they decided to redesign it because they weren’t satisfied with the design, and recently we saw leaked shot of it and the phone really looks promising. We recently reported that Verizon will be launching it on August 4th and it looks like the leaked information was true because Verizon Droid Bionic sign-up page is now up and you can now sign-up to get latest information about the Droid Bionic. Verizon is only telling us that it will be launched in summer but they didn’t tell us when, but as August 4th is the rumored date, my guess is that Verizon will be launching it in the first week of August. Droid Bionic is a dual-core device featuring a huge 4.5 Inch display with qHD resolution, and it will also come with new version of MotoBlur with some 3D effects.

Well folks, that’s all we know about the upcoming Motorola beast. You can sign-up here if you want to stay up to date with Verizon’s new flagship device. So who’s going to grab one later this summer or you already got your hands on the recently launched Verizon Motorola Droid 3?

Sony Ericsson Duo specs and press shot leaked, launch in September?

In past few months, Sony Ericsson launched some amazing looking devices and Xperia Arc is worth mentioning. Xperia Arc is not the best Android device available but personally I think it’s one of the most beautiful looking devices. Last month, we saw first ever leaked shot of the Xperia Duo twice but it was blurry. Now another leaked shot of Xperia Duo is posted on a Chinese forum known as IT168 and it’s also a press shot, but this is currently the best and the most clear shot of it, and trust me the device looks sexier than Arc. Well, beauty is there but what’s under the hood of this beast?

DigiTech is reporting that it will feature a dual-core 1.4 GHz processor, and it will be either QualcommMSM8260 or ST-Ericsson’s U8500 or A9500 dual-core processor, but most likely it will be Qualcomm or maybe SE will launch it with their very own processor. It will feature a powerful 12 MP camera with a next generation Exmor R CMOS sensor, and you all may know that Xperia X10 and Arc camera is also amazing, so I am sure that Duo camera will be breathtaking. It will also offer 1080p HD video recording along with image stabilization. It will feature a huge 4.5 Inch touchscreen display with qHD display and Sony Mobile BRAVIA engine which will make the viewing experience even better. It will also feature NFC capability, and it will feature 1.5 GB of RAM, 8GB of internal memory, and a huge 2500 mAh battery. It’s rumored that Sony Ericsson will be launching it in September, but still take this all with grain of salt, because rumors can’t be trusted.

Well, that’s all we know about this device so far but if it’s true, then I am sure this device will be a very big challenge for devices like Samsung Galaxy S II and HTC Sensation. So who’s looking forward to it?

Samsung Wave 725 leaked, coming in September

Samsung Android devices are famous worldwide but what about their Bada powered devices? Well, they are also famous and one of the best selling Samsung devices. Bada is Samsung’s very own OS and Samsung Wave was first one to run it, and then Samsung launched the Wave 2 and it’s known as one of the best selling Samsung devices. It looks like Samsung is working on another Bada powered device.Folks over at BadaWorld got their hands on a render image of a new Wave device and they discovered it in the Bada 2.0 SDK. The device is codenamed as Wave 725 and final name is still unconfirmed. The image above is just a render but I am sure that the real device is not much different. It’s probably the same device which was leaked a few weeks ago and it was scheduled for September.

The device comes with a 3.65 inch touchscreen display with the resolution of 320 x 480, it has a 5MP camera with a front facing VGA camera, and it will also feature NFC, and features like WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and other common features. It’s coming in September so stay around as we will keep you updated with it. Anyone looking forward to the new upcoming Bada device?

HTC launching unlocked bootloader update in August, limited to select devices

HTC Sensation was launched a few weeks ago and people who love hacking and rooting their devices didn’t like it because it comes with a locked bootloader. Then HTC made an announcement on their Facebook page that they are considering their bootloader policy and then they announced that their devices with locked bootloader will receive unlocked bootloader update but HTC didn’t tell us when it’s officially coming out but now they finally made an announcement on their Facebook page that they will be launching it in August for specific Android devices. They made it clear that global version of Sensationwill receive it and then in USA, Sensation 4G and EVO 3D will be the first one to rock on this update.

That doesn’t mean other HTC devices are not going to receive it as HTC announced that they will continue rolling it for other devices. I think that’s really good news for all HTC fanboys and girls out there, right? So who’s looking forward to the bootloader update or you are happy without it?
