Mini Variant of Lenovo K920 (Vibe Z2 Pro) Allegedly Emerges Online

Tomorrow, Chinese mobile phone maker Lenovo should make official a new high-end smartphone, none other than the Lenovo K920, aka Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, and it seems that a mini flavor of the device is also being prepared.

For those out of the loop, we should note that Vibe Z2 Pro is rumored to arrive tomorrow with a 6-inch touchscreen display capable of delivering a Quad HD (1440 x 2560 pixels) resolution, as well as with a metallic body. A leaked photo with the Lenovo K920 (Vibe Z2 Pro), that has emerged courtesy of weibo, appears to be showing it next to the aforementioned mini version, which will sport a metallic body as well. One thing that you should be aware of, however, is the fact that this Lenovo K920 mini, or however it will be called, is not a small device. Not even close to being small, in fact. As GSMdome notes, the handset is expected to go official with a 5.5-inch touchscreen display, which is larger than most flagship smartphones out there, and the same size as LG’s G3. The screen on this mini Lenovo K920 (Vibe Z2 Pro) is said to deliver a full HD resolution, and might also include a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, supposedly paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory.

Moreover, chances are that the mobile phone will be announced with a 13-megapixel camera on the back, as well as with a 5MP front camera for taking selfies and for making video calls while on the go. The usual set of connectivity capabilities and sensors should also be included in the package, along with the latest flavor of the Android operating system, just as with the Vibe Z2 Pro. However, with no official confirmation on the device, we’ll take the info above with a grain of salt for the time being. Furthermore, should the phone go official, it remains to be seen whether it will be marketed as Lenovo K920 mini, Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro mini, or it will feature a completely different name. Rumor has it that Lenovo will make the smartphone available for purchase with a price tag of only around $323 (€240) attached to it, which will certainly turn it into a highly appealing device.

Most probably, Lenovo will share some details on this Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro mini as soon as tomorrow, when the fully fledged Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro should become official, so keep an eye on this space for additional info on the matter.

White Samsung Galaxy Alpha Emerges in Leaked Photos

One of the smartphones that South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics is expected to make official in the next several weeks is the Galaxy Alpha, long rumored to arrive on shelves as the first handset in the company’s lineup to sport a metallic body.

According to the latest info on the mobile phone, Samsung could be set to announce it on August 13, which would be only three weeks before Samsung Galaxy Note 4 should go official in Berlin during the IFA 2014 trade show. Before that happens, however, you can admire the device in a new set of allegedly leaked images, this time photos that show it all dressed up in white, and also powered up. Said leaked photos have been spotted on weibo and, as nowhereelse notes, they depict a smartphone looking exactly the same as the black Galaxy Alpha did in the previously spotted images. Most probably, Samsung will make the mobile phone official in other color options as well, the same as it did with Galaxy S5 and other recent devices in its lineup. For those out of the loop, we should note that Samsung Galaxy Alpha is expected to be about the same size as the Galaxy S III, which was released two years ago.

The upcoming mobile phone is said to pack a 4.8-inch touchscreen display that should deliver an HD (1280 x 720 pixels) resolution, while being powered by a Snapdragon 801 processor. Apparently, the quad-core CPU will be clocked at 1.9GHz and will also be paired with Mali-T628 graphics. 2GB of RAM will also be attached to it, so as to ensure that users receive appealing performance capabilities at all times. Samsung Galaxy Alpha is also expected to arrive on the market with 32GB of internal memory, but won’t feature a microSD memory card slot for storage expansion purposes, it seems.

On the back, the handset should sport a 12-megapixel camera, which will certainly be capable of recording videos in full HD resolution, if not higher. The mobile phone should run under the Android 4.4.4 KitKat operating system version right from the start, though it will also sport a series of exclusive apps and software enhancements coming from Samsung itself, that’s for sure. No official confirmation on Galaxy Alpha has been provided as of now, so take the info above with a grain of salt. Until more on this device emerges online, have a look at the newly leaked images with it, available below. Click for larger images.
