Budget Iphone 'iPhone 5c' Leaked

Alleged Packaging For Budget 'iPhone 5c' Leaked



iphone-5c-packaging-e1375019493417

Apple is expected to launch a new iPhone in the coming weeks. Images and videos of what’s being rumoured to be a budget iPhone – or the iPhone ‘Lite’ – have surfaced online. This new iPhone will reportedly come with a plastic build, 4-inch display and multiple colour options.
Additional proof of this new Apple device has popped up, courtesy of WeiPhone, and potentially shows its final retail packaging. A picture reveals a bin full of boxes indicating this budget device will go under the brand name of “iPhone 5C. ” Some speculation is that the C stands for ‘colour’.
This, or course, is still a rumour until Apple officially announces the device. The new low-cost device could possibly be released in August or September. The WeiPhone forums are a fairly frequent source of Apple rumors, although the site itself does not frequently report on them, making it difficult to determine a steady track record as posting in the site’s forums come from a variety of different posters.
The iPhone 5, which is almost a year old, was the most popular iPhone sold in Apple’s quarter ending June 30, but the 4 (first available June 24, 2010) and 4S (first available October 14, 2011) models sold well in emerging markets, indicating demand for a more updated budget smartphone to go along with the new, rumoured iPhone 5S in the fall lineup.

Nokia Lumia 1020 vs Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom: war of the camera phones


Nokia Lumia 1020 vs Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom: war of the camera phones




Today we’ve had our first look at the Nokia Lumia 1020 – a device with a 41-megapixel back-facing camera more than ready to take on the already revealed Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom. Where not too many years ago it was considered amazing to see a camera present in a cellphone, here in 2013 we’ve got not just cellphones, but smartphones, bringing on camera constructs far more powerful than most standard pocket-friendly point-and-shoots! Now both Nokia and Samsung have machines with as much focus on the smartphone as on the photography power they possess – so what’s the difference?


Camera             

S4 Zoom

IMG_8376wtmk-580x386

  • 16-megapixel CMOS sensor 
  • f/3.1-f/6.3 24-240mm 10x zoom lens
Opinion  extremely well-balanced shooter with the ability to take fine photos 

Nokia Lumia 1020

  • 41-megapixel sensor 
  •  f/2.2 ZEISS lens
  • works with an up-to 6x digital zoom 

Size

The physical shape of each of these machines puts the line between camera and phone at a new level of blurry, each in their own way. While the Nokia machine literally has the back-facing lens set in landscape, letting you know that the back side is not a portrait-facing sort of situation, the Samsung device has a similar aim – the Samsung logo may be set in portrait, but the rest of the back is clearly a standard camera and lens looking aesthetic.
The fronts of both machines, too, are set to look like smartphones on their own. The Samsung Galaxy S4′s final size comes in at 125.5 x 63.5 x 15.4 mm while the Nokia Lumia 1020 is thinner – yet taller and wider 130.4 x 71.4 x 10.4 mm in total. NOTE: You’re seeing the Samsung machine here next to the Nokia 808 PureView here, the 808 resting atop the comparably thin Nokia Lumia 1020

Galaxy Note 3 Specs



Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note III is among the most highly anticipated smartphones of 2013. While sales of the third-generation flagship phablet won’t approach handsets like the Galaxy S4 or Apple’s iPhone lineup, Samsung’s Galaxy Note handsets have regularly been among its top-selling high-end devices. 

According to a new report on Friday, the Galaxy Note III was initially supposed to include a 6-inch display but Samsung reworked the device and opted for a 5.7-inch panel instead. Other highlights include a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor (some versions may carry Samsung’s Exynos 5 Octa processor), 3GB of RAM, a metal-look insert wrapped around the edges of the phone like the one on the Galaxy S4, the new Android 4.3 operating system and support for newer LTE-Advanced networks capable of delivering data speeds twice as fast as current 4G LTE networks.
Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Note III at a press conference on September 4th ahead of the IFA trade show in Berlin, Germany. An image said to be pulled from the Galaxy Note III’s specs sheet follow belo

Key specs

  • Snapdragon 800 Chipset which supports LTE-A
  •  5.7 inch display
  • 3GB of RAM 
  • Android 4.3

Android 4.3 announced, rolling out to Nexus devices today

Android 4.3 announced, rolling out to Nexus devices today


Android 4.3 isn’t an overly dramatic advancement over Android 4.2, but the new version of Google’s mobile OS announced today does bring a number of improvements that should appeal to both developers and end users. Highlights include the redesigned camera interface, general performance improvements for the OS including smoother animations, and long-awaited Bluetooth Low Energy support.

MUTI-USER RESTRICTED PROFILES

This builds on the multi-user accounts on 4.2, but adds Restricted Profiles. These make it possible to do parental controls on the tablet, by changing the performance of apps and other services based on who’s logged in. It also blocks out access to stuff like in-app purchases. There’s much more to this than just parental controls, however, including options for provisioning in enterprise settings.

BLUETOOTH IMPROVEMENTS

Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart) makes it easy to connect accessories to Android devices without sapping too much battery. This is key for smart watch and other wearables, as well as health and fitness trackers.

OPENGL|ES 3.0

This is huge for game developers, as it allows for much better graphics rendering, which shows off very well in the demos Google showed off on stage. Now we can also see lens flares a la J.J. Abrams, and other very nice visual effects on future games. All of the above is rendered in real-time in native 1080p.

DRM APIS

Who doesn’t get excited about locked down media content? Serisously though, this is a boon for content providers and should help Google convince even more to offer up greater libraries, with the peace of mind that their stuff is safe. It does accompany the news that Netflix will deliver 1808p video streaming on Netflix, making the Nexus 7 the first Android tablet to get that.

NOTIFICATION ACCESS

You now can access and interact with notifications form the Android status bar, and use those to be displayed in another app or via Bluetooth on a connected device (like the Pebble) and you can change their read status and dismiss them, too.
The update is pushing out live today to existing Nexus tablet devices, in addition to shipping on the new Nexus 7. It's also going to be coming to Google Nexus handsets and experience devices soon.

Google’s 2013 Nexus 7 Unboxed Ahead of Launch, Preorders Accepted at Best Buy

Google’s 2013 Nexus 7 Unboxed Ahead of Launch, Preorders Accepted at Best Buy


Ahead of an official announcement from Google, the company’s new 2013 refreshed Nexus 7, also dubbed the Nexus 7 2, was shown in a series of unboxing images and and in a video. The images show the slate’s new rounded corners, slimmer side bezels, and the retail packaging box. The retail box shows that the model in the picture is a 32 GB WiFi-only Nexus 7.
The new leaked images posted on Android Police matches the leaked official press photos that we’ve seen recently.

The device is widely believed at this point to be debuting Google’s newest Android 4.3 operating system, which may be an incremental upgrade to the Android 4.2.2 release that’s available on devices today. The slate will have both a front-facing and rear-facing 5-megapixel camera.
That information was confirmed on a Best Buy preorder page, which lists the new OS as one of the device’s specs alongside the 7-inch 1920 X 1200 high resolution display, Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, Bluetooth 4.0, and WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n support. The 16 GB will retail for $230 while Best Buy is asking for $270 for the more capacious 32 GB model.
nexusae0_wm_2013-07-23-15.11.25
We’ll know more soon enough as Google is slated to announce its latest 7-inch tablet today. The first generation Nexus 7 was priced at $199 for the entry level model, but came with commendable specs that made it both successful and popular. In the weeks following the tablet’s launch, Google and its manufacturing partner Asus had struggled to keep supplies in stock to meet demands.
nexusae0_wm_DSC_2508
The new tablet is expected to be available on sale at retail stores by the end of the month through various channels so it may not be long before consumers will be able to pick up the slate and unbox this year’s official 7-inch Nexus refresh.
nexusae0_wm_DSC_2509

It seems like new Nexus 7s are everywhere, so we're not surprised one of the tablets floating around has finally been subjected to a quick round of benchmarking.Android Police has dug deep into the specs, confirming this slate -- device codenamed "Razor" -- has internals nearly identical to the Nexus 4, with a Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU running at 1.5GHz and 2GB of RAM behind its 1920x1200 7-inch screen. Running the 3DMark and AnTuTu benchmarks revealed scores slightly higher than the Nexus 4, but we'll probably have to wait just a little longer to find out exactly what its Android 4.3 OS is bringing to the table.
