Samsung Galaxy Mega 7.0 leaks with faux leather backing, huge 7-inch display

If you ever idea last year’s Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 and 6.3 were blurring the lines between phone and tablet, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Mega 7.0 is looking to sh*t all over that. Leaked online for China Mobile thanks to a 3rd party case manufacturer, this Samsung Galaxy Mega followup (SM-T2558 and SM-T2556) is said to feature a whopping 7-inch 720p display, the one that is sure to force the limits of your new skinny jeans.

Bear in mind the Mega has never been a power house. It’s generally an easy method for Samsung to tackle the affordable phablet market, one that is currently left wide open by smartphone OEMs. Other specs for the Mega 7.0 include a quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 1.5GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage. You can see from the leaked image above that Samsung will once again follow the "faux leather" design language made popular by their Note line.

No word on US availability or pricing, but knowing Samsung — they will have a Mega for every market. We will keep an eye out.

WhatsApp returns to Windows Phone, brings new features

What’s up?! Not much, just WhatsApp returning to the Windows Phone Store. After going MIA, the popular messaging app has returned. Not only has it returned, but it’s been updated. Earlier today, Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore said the app would be coming ‘quite soon’. This does qualify as fairly soon! Details after the break.
Head into the Windows Phone Store and you’ll find version 2.11.490.0 of WhatsApp sitting there. Here’s what’s new in this update:

• Chat backgrounds
• Broadcast lists
• Privacy settings (settings > account > privacy)
• Media auto-download settings (settings > chat settings > media auto-download)
• Custom notification tones (Windows Phone 8 Update 3 required)
• Various enhancements and bug fixes

Not only does the app return, but it surely comes with a couple of new features. Chat backgrounds have been added, shown to be privacy settings, control the auto-download of media, custom notifications are there and more!

Heads up, those on Windows Phone 8.1 will get a warning message saying some features will not work properly.

Grab the update for WhatsApp and let us know what you think!

Did Google just leak its next-generation Nexus tablet?

Either Google’s art department purposely manipulated a image in the company’s latest Nexus 10 tablet, or Google just quietly revealed its next-generation 100 % pure Android slate.

As noted by a number of Android fan blogs on Monday, Google has updated its I/O conference website with a peculiar new image. In the photo, someone is tapping on a tablet that doesn’t quite look like anything we’ve seen to date.

The shape of the tablet and the placement of some buttons in fact looks like the Nexus 10 tablet, as some blogs have observed, but the device appears to be a bit smaller than the 10-inch Nexus and the bezels on the sides of the tablet are nowhere near as wide as they are on the Nexus 10.

Did Google’s art department intentionally manipulate a photo of the Nexus 10 so that it looks like a different device? Is this the Nexus 8 that Google is rumored by some to be planning to reveal at Google I/O on June 25th?

No person knows for certain right now, but we only have a few short weeks left until we find out.

Latest leak shows completely redesigned iPhone 6 in space gray, gold and silver

Another dummy. We have recently received new images showing what looks to be a gold iPhone 6 mockup pictured next to another two color variations that Apple presently offers. As described, this is absolutely a dummy model, but it is also the 1st time we have seen a gold one.

The camera cut-out on the light colored models look a little but odd, but again these are dummy units and we never expect them to completely reflect the genuine design. Along with that, the Space Gray and Silver models look to have a gold Touch ID ring which is also a bit out of place. Either way, they are absolutely fun to look at. Rumors would suggest that Apple’s iPhone 6 will feature a 4.7-inch display and possibly a 5.5-inch variation, borrow design features from the fifth generation iPod touch, and feature resigned buttons. At this point, we have seen just about every rumored render, mockup, and schematic relating to Apple’s upcoming iPhone 6.

These images are consistent with previous rumors, but we won’t know what Apple’s official design will look like until later this coming year. It’s likely that these models were designed based on rumored schematics and specifications, but the design does match up with previous photos.

Review – 12x Telephoto Lens for the Nokia Lumia 920

If there is just one thing Lumia 920 owners are happy about, it’s their camera. So it’s finally nice to see some aftermarket-accessories develop off of what Nokia has began (although personally, we would like to check out Nokia get included in this area too).

We have covered some magnetic lens plugs in the previous, and while "cheap" they did offer users a new creative capacity with their phones. After all, if you are a good professional photographer, you can make "art" out of anything at all and those lenses enabled some awesome options.

Now we've a 12x telephoto lens that comes out of Guangdong, China and it goes for just slightly less than $20 (plus shipping). We purchased ours through Amazon.com and it took about 10 days or so for the products to appear.

So how is it? It’s surprisingly well built. It’s a strong, elegant machine made aluminum body with a durable tripod. Fact be told, we’re a bit stunned about how nicely it all works together—nothing feels "cheap" about it, which includes the box that it came in (it’s one of those nice ones with a magnetic flap).

Of course the big matter is, quality of the photos. The lens is a fixed 12x telephoto, which means you have to "frame the photo with your feet", so to speak. The lens can be manually targeted and it too excels beyond our expectations. Anyone who knows a quality lens knows it must have a smooth, slow and steady rotator and this lens actually has that, making it feel like you’re focusing an old-school prime lens for a DSLR.

Photos themselves are "ok". Let us be obvious: this is not Nikon, Canon or Carl Zeiss creating the glass and there is a purpose why some of us pay $1K+ for our lenses in the first place. Purple fringing, discolored sides and a filter focal area are all side effects of a $20 lens.

Having said that, it’s still pretty cool.

Hello, for $20, we can think of worse things to spend our money on. Will we use it often? Who knows. But the 920’s camera is a work of art and it’s fun to play all around with such add-ons, even if they are niche or unique.

You can order your 12x Zoom Lens through Amazon.com right here. Make sure you watch our video walk through for our impressions.

Could This iPhone 6 Be The Most Accurate Mock-up Yet?

Well-known Dutch designer and concept artist Martin Hajek has designed a new iPhone 6 rendering, which might just be the most accurate one to date.

Hajek had recently joined up with Nowherelse to create a amazing mock-up based on the recently leaked schematics discovered by Macotakara apparently showing the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch variants of the iPhone 6.

With the recent case leak, Hajek revised his designs to show almost everything we currently know (or think we know) about Apple's next iPhone.

Hajek depicts the iPhone 6 as extremely thin, featuring curved corners, a larger display, and a new Sleep/Wake button, which has been moved to the right side from the handset.

This was based on a research note from KGI Investments analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who suggested that Apple is going to move the button from its current spot on top of the iPhone to help with one-handed use of the larger smartphone.

What do you think of Hajek’s designs? Is this what you hope the iPhone 6 you can look like?

AT&T Nokia Lumia 1520 to get only 16GB of storage devices? Say it ain't so!

 

It looks as if the cannibalization of the AT&T Nokia Lumia 1520 Ms windows Cellphone hasn't ceased. First you have the omission of the designed in wi-fi Qi asking for. Now this indicates as if the Lumia 1520's inner storage space will be 16GB instead of 32GB that was mentioned during Nokia Globe.

Specs for the AT&T nokia Lumia 1520 at Windowsphone.com and at The lenders U.S. item web page for the Lumia 1520 details the storage space as being only 16GB. The only savior is that it is mentioned that the Lumia 1520 will have extended storage (micro-SD cards slot) up to 64GB.

We aren't sure as to why AT&T has selected to decrease the on-board storage space, just as it is a secret that they would fall the inner Qi asking for.  There's still a opportunity that this could be a misprint but for the requirements to appear on both sites creates this unlikely.

One can only wish that the storage space decrease will convert to a reduced costs factor for the Lumia 1520 otherwise, it is really another situation where the clients are getting the raw end of the cope and could impact Lumia 1520 product sales.
