The Full Specs of iPhone 6, Revealed by Chinese Sources

If you believe what's on this list you will see that the next-generation iPhone is hard to kill or destroy. Apple has apparently made a phone that will not break easily, so the cell phone repair industry will slowly die because of lack of customers. The information was published by CultofMac and it comes from a supposedly reliable source in China. Some of the below has been confirmed by the Chinese carrier, China Mobile, right on their website. They have not been confirmed, so take everything with a grain of salt. What is new? As expected, the Cupertino, California-based tech giant will release two different phones - a 4.7-inch diagonal display iPhone 6 and a larger 5.5-inch screen dubbed iPhone 6 Plus. Also, the devices will...

Google has been long rumored to be working with one of its hardware partners for the release of a new smartphone in the popular Nexus series, and it seems that some more info on the device is now available online.

Previously called Nexus 6 or Nexus X, the upcoming mobile phone might actually end up with the name of Nexus 5 (2014) attached...

Here Are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980, 970, and 980M Benchmarks Result

I would love to be able to say that I finally know the specifications of the upcoming Maxwell-based NVIDIA graphics cards, which will be known as the GeForce GTX 900 series instead of 800. Unfortunately, I can't say that, because NVIDIA still hasn't released the things, and the others who know them have been ordered to silence. Not that the clocks are final yet, but still. Fortunately, other information can be disseminated on the Maxwell-based video cards, such as the preliminary benchmark tests. The folks at VideoCardz have put together a benchmark chart of sorts. You can see it in the picture up on the right. As we expected, two GeForce GTX 980 in SLI are the best in the list, right after the R9 295 X2 from AMD, which is actually...

Sony Claims QHD Displays Are Useless, but Xperia Z4 Might Sport a QHD Display

As soon as Samsung announced its Galaxy Note 4 featuring a large 5.7-inch Super AMOLED QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) display, competition started to find flaws in the phablet’s hardware configuration. One of Sony Mobile's execs has stated in an interview that, despite their superiority when it comes to resolution and image quality, QHD displays are not worth the trouble due to their high battery consumption. Basically, Sony’s official claims that the trade-off for having a QHD display with high battery consumption doesn’t add enough to the user experience to be taken into consideration. Well, that comment is understandable coming from a company whose latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z3, doesn’t come with a QHD display or any other...

BlackBerry Classic (Q20) Emerges in New Photos

One of the smartphones that Canadian mobile phone maker BlackBerry is expected to make official before the end of this year is the BlackBerry Classic, which can be admired in a new set of photos today. The upcoming device is also known as the BlackBerry Q20, and is expected to be introduced sometime in November, as BlackBerry CEO John Chen officially announced back in June. The phone was already shown to the public a few months ago, yet we still haven’t had the chance to have a closer look at it, but the newly published images appear meant to change that. As CrackBerry notes, the fact that more photos with this handset leak online suggests that the phone is indeed on track to make an official appearance sooner rather than later, although...
