New Huawei Ascend P7 Photos Allegedly Leak Online

Chinese mobile phone maker Huawei has been long rumored to plan the release of a new high-end smartphone running under Android, and some more leaked images with the phone have allegedly emerged online. The upcoming device, supposedly called Ascend P7, made it online a few times before, and was expected to make an official appearance at CES or MWC, but it has not been in sight until now.

On February 24 this year, Japanese mobile phone maker Sony Mobile made official its new Android-based flagship device, in the form of Xperia Z2, yet the device isn’t shipping as of now.

Qualcomm LiQUID with Snapdragon 805, Adreno 420, Windows Tested

Now here’s something interesting. Back in November, Qualcomm announced a new version of its Snapdragon 800 processor, the Snapdragon 805 tablet processor capable of handling Ultra HD (4K) video playing on a tablet or streamed to a TV.

iPhone 6 Photos Reportedly Leaked from Foxconn Factory, Phone Looks Relatively Unchanged

An alleged leak from Foxconn would suggest that Apple’s iPhone 6 will not sport a radical redesign, as many fans hoped, but rather a few minor aesthetic changes, along with a bigger screen and rounded edges. Assuming these images leaked on weibo.com are genuine, it appears that the next-generation iPhone will have a similar design to the current-selling hardware, something that might spell trouble for Apple, (as we opined recently). The device seems to be constructed from metal (aluminum, most likely) and there will be two radio / WiFi windows on the back of the phone, as with the current iPhone 5s. Again, these images cannot be verified, but their source claims to have obtained them straight from Foxconn, Apple’s assembler. The phone...
