AT&T's Samsung Galaxy S4 is now receiving Lollipop update
4/7/2015 4:31:30 PM
It looks like the HTC One (M8) isn't the only handset sold by AT&T that's getting a new Android version today. The latest update to Android 5.0 Lollipop is now rolling out to Samsung Galaxy S4 devices bought from AT&T. The Galaxy S4 has been on the receiving end of this tasty treat for a few weeks now, but in different regions or at different carriers. If you own a Galaxy S4 purchased from AT&T, you should be notified about the update within the next few days. If you're impatient, you can manually check by going to Settings > More > About device > Software update. The download comes in at 947MB, and you must grab it via Wi-Fi. After applying the update, your phone will run Android 5.0.1, build number LRX22C.1337UCUGOC3. Aside from everything that Lollipop brings with it, you obviously also get Samsung's refreshed TouchWiz UI - with punchier colors and whatnot. In this software release, AT&T has removed the Code Scanner, Browser Bar, and Softcard apps - so you'll have less bloat. Thanks for the tip, Kurt...
Sony Xperia C4 gets pictured in live image leak
4/7/2015 3:31:02 PM
Just yesterday we saw a purported leaked render showing the upcoming Sony Xperia C4, and today we're treated to an alleged live image of the handset. As you can see, this is an actual photo, in which the Xperia C4 is seen in working condition. The design we see here lines up pretty well with what the leaked render from yesterday showed us, so at this point we assume this is in fact a handset in development by Sony. It's not the only new smartphone that Sony is currently working on - the Xperia Z4 and Z4 Ultra are probably in that situation too, along with a device that we currently know only by its codename Lavender. All of these might become official in the near future. The Xperia C4 will be the successor to the Xperia C3, as you may have imagined. Like that phone, it too will focus on selfies, since it has a front-facing LED flash. The C4 has been codenamed Cosmos and its model number will be E53xx. We still don't have leaked specs for the C4, but it should run Lollipop from day one, and Sony is apparently going to offer it in three colors: turquoise, white, and black. Judging by the fact that the C3 was a midranger, we assume its successor will play in the same...
Samsung Galaxy S6 Active shows up in AT&T inventory listing
4/7/2015 2:33:02 PM
Last year Samsung outed the Galaxy S5 Active to complement the 'vanilla' S5, and this year should see the same thing happen all over again with the Galaxy S6. The S6 Active has already seen its specs leaked, so now we're just waiting to see some leaked images, and for Samsung to finally make it official. While none of those things have happened yet, the Galaxy S6 Active has purportedly been spotted inside an inventory listing originating at AT&T. If this isn't just a Photoshopped picture, then it means that AT&T is getting ready to sell the S6 Active. This wouldn't be a surprise at all, seeing as how the same carrier also offered the Galaxy S5 Active last year. To recap, the S6 Active is supposed to come with a 5.1-inch QHD Super AMOLED display, Samsung's own Exynos 7420 chipset with octa-core CPU, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage (perhaps expandable via microSD), a 16 MP rear shooter, a 5 MP selfie snapper, and a huge 3,500 mAh battery. It will run Android 5.0 Lollipop from day...
New HTC One M9+ images surface ahead of tomorrow's unveiling
4/7/2015 1:32:50 PM
The HTC One M9+ will finally be announced tomorrow at a special event in China, according to previously leaked promo materials. In the meantime however, we're treated to a couple of new images depicting the upcoming smartphone. This may actually be the last M9+ leak before the unveiling, for what it's worth. HTC One M9+ This device has been in the news for many weeks now, through a lot of rumors and leaks, and we've already seen it from all possible angles. It should come with a 5.2-inch QHD touchscreen, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of expandable built-in storage. Chipset-wise, we might see two different solutions - MediaTek's MT6795 for Asian markets, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 for other countries across the world. Anyway, everything should become clear in less than 24...
ZTE Nubia Z9 will have no side bezels, official confirms
4/7/2015 12:21:08 PM
Last month ZTE made the Nubia Z9 Max official alongside the Nubia Z9 Mini, but many have been wondering why the flagship Z9 itself wasn't unveiled. Apparently ZTE is still working on the Nubia Z9, and it's finally due to be announced soon. The smartphone has leaked a lot over the past few months, and many times we've heard it would come with practically no side bezels for the screen. Today this has been more or less confirmed by Ni Fei, general manager of the Nubia line at ZTE. The official said we should expect "no borders" for the display, along with a launch in the near future. Unfortunately no other details have been mentioned, but past rumors did reveal a few things about ZTE's next flagship Nubia-branded handset. It should come with QHD resolution, at least 3GB of RAM, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 chipset at the helm. It's still unclear whether you'll ever be able to officially purchase the Nubia Z9 (or the Z9 Max or the Z9 Mini) outside of China. Since its inception, the Nubia brand has catered primarily to the needs of Chinese consumers, but perhaps it would be a good idea for it to truly go international in the future.

LG G4 event invitation confirms f/1.8 lens, LED flash, laser focus
4/7/2015 11:01:57 AM
The wait is drawing to an end for yet another of this year's major flagship announcements. The LG G4 is coming and invitations for the launch event are more revealing than ever. An official press image of the back camera highlights its lens' aperture - a confirmation of the fast f/1.8, which was already teased in a promo video. Instrumental in capturing images in less than ideal conditions, LG's lens lets in a whole 11% more light than the f/1.9 lens on the Samsung Galaxy S6. The camera is flanked by a dual-tone LED flash and a laser focus sensor on either side, while the familiar volume controls and power button sit beneath. Overall, it's a typical LG G-series aesthetic. What's more eye-catching is the leather, which covers the back. Although it was hinted previously, we now get to see it in what appears to be its final form, surrounding the camera and controls, complete with stitching and all. The unveiling of the new flagship will take place on April 28, with events scheduled to take place in London and New York...
