Moto X 2013 expected to get Lollipop update in few weeks
5/11/2015 10:09:53 PM
Motorola has said that the first-generation Moto X, which was released back in 2013, should receive the Android Lollipop update in a few weeks. "I am glad to announce that we are starting TestDrive in both the US and LatAm. If all goes well we should start full deployments in a few weeks," said the company's senior director of software product management David Schuster. It's worth mentioning that the Lenovo-owned company has already announced that the device won't be getting Android 5.0, rather it will be updated directly from KitKat to Android 5.1. The news comes just a few weeks after Motorola started soak testing the Android 5.1 update for the device in Brazil. Source |...
Huawei Mate 8 phablet to sport QHD screen, 20MP camera
5/11/2015 3:09:56 PM
Huawei is already busy working on the successor to the Ascend Mate7 it launched last year. The upcoming phablet will be called just Mate 8, since the Chinese company is dropping the Ascend sub-brand this year. So far, we've seen the Mate 8 purportedly pictured in a few live images back in January (one of those pictures is reproduced to the left). And now, many months later, we finally get a rumored spec list for the device. The Mate 8 is supposedly going to come with QHD resolution for its touchscreen, which seems odd because the company's CEO once publicly bashed Xiaomi for using a QHD panel inside its Mi Note Pro. Perhaps in the meantime Richard Yu has realized the utility of higher-res displays. Moving on, the new phablet should also get a 20.7MP rear camera, made by Sony. At the helm we shall find the Kirin 930 chipset with octa-core CPU. The Mate 8 will keep the fingerprint scanner from its predecessor, along with the general design elements, all-metal construction, and Cat.6 LTE support. However, the display is said to be 'bezelless', continuing a nascent trend among Chinese smartphones (see the ZTE Nubia Z9, for example). Source (in Chinese) |...
Vivo X5Pro gets portrayed in some leaked renders of its own
5/11/2015 1:51:46 PM
The Meizu MX5 isn't the only upcoming Chinese smartphone to receive the leaked render treatment today. Joining it is the Vivo X5Pro, a handset that has been in the rumors a lot lately, and which will finally be announced this Wednesday, on May 13. Until then, though, it looks like someone in China simply couldn't wait, and decided to publish some renders showing the X5Pro in all its glory. Vivo X5Pro This is clearly going to be one of Vivo's most good looking phones to date, and as you can see it will be graced with some 2.5D glass on the front, which curves to meet the X5Pro's metal frame. More Vivo X5Pro renders The renders show us dual speakers placed on the bottom side of the device, with the USB port in between them. Past information revealed that the X5Pro should be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 615 chipset. It will run Vivo's Funtouch OS 2.1, based on Android 5.0 Lollipop. The screen has been rumored to be a 5.5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED unit, the rear camera will be 13 MP while the front snapper will be 5 MP (though capable of shooting 32 MP images through some software trickery). 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage should also be in, and the battery capacity could be either 3,500 or 4,150 mAh.
