Half price of Samsung Galaxy S4 might come by end of year.

A Snapdragon 800 phone with the unprecedented 4GB of RAM and coming at half the price of the Samsung Galaxy S4 has leaked out in China and it might be manufactured by Shenzhou company Hasee.

The mysterious device looks like it’s taken straight out of a nerd’s fairy tale book. The unprecedented 4 gigs of RAM is the maximum Android can go to right now. The 32-bit platform simply cannot support more than that, and China might be stretching the limits. Is this even possible, though? Two months ago SK Hynix announced its 8Gb LPDDR3 chip and it’s possible to stack four of these together to get the whopping 4GB of RAM.

The real question is how can the mysterious Hasee phone be that affordable? The rumored price is around 1799 yuan or $295 off contract. In comparison, the Galaxy S4 costs around $600 off contract and the Apple iPhone 5 sells for around $650.

The rest of the specs include 16GB and 32GB internal storage versions, a 13-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front shooter and Adreno 330 graphics. All of that runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

The only slightly disturbing thing is the weight of the supposed upcoming Hasee phone coming at the weighty 195 grams (6.9 ounces). In exchange, you get a 2500mAh battery.

Take a look at the spec sheet below;

Next-gen iPhone might be called iPhone 5G

The name of the next-gen iPhone might actually be ‘iPhone 5G’, if we were to believe the signage on a box from China allegedly containing the screen of that upcoming iPhone.

Too many ifs, aren’t there? You should definitely take all this with a grain of salt as with everything Apple, but these leaks do look legit.

The leaked front panel and screen look no different than the current iPhone 5, and that falls in line with earlier whispers of changes occurring mostly under the hood with the new Apple device. For now, that’s all there is to it - a simple front panel that is not hooked up to a chip.

The iPhone rumor mill is churning new material every day, though, and it’s heard on the grapevine that Apple is preparing for a September announcement for both an ‘iPhone 5G’ and a plastic iPhone 5C.

Key Lime Pie spotted running on Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 devices

It’s been a littler over a year since Android 4.1 Jelly Bean first made its way to Nexus devices. Not quite a huge leap from the Ice Cream Sandwich that debuted in the Galaxy Nexus, Jelly Bean merely patched up and addressed some of Android’s UI inconsistencies, improving the user experience overall. When it comes to the next big jump in Google’s mobile OS, all eyes are pointed to the next Nexus device which, going by Google’s current track record, will most likely release towards the end of this year.

The upcoming version of the Android OS just got a little more real today after build number KRS36B was caught running on both the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7. Developer “dknandiraju” posted a list of his devices used in testing Chromium, where a few Galaxy devices running Jelly Bean were mentioned, along with the Nexus 4 and 7 running this mysterious new build number.

For those unaware, Jelly Bean builds start with the letter designation of J, with the most recent being JWR66V (Android 4.3). This means these devices could have been running Key Lime Pie (the specific Android number has yet to be determined), and other than that… well, not much else. Guess it’s just exciting to catch a glimpse of Key Lime Pie, no matter how small. Then again, perhaps we need to get out more.

Images of the Xperia ZU Leaked!

The images show off how sensitive this new Xperia’s touchscreen really is. The heart was on the touchscreen as well. While this isn’t terribly exciting news or anything, it does give credence to the rumor that this device is going to be shipping with pen-input, something we’ve been hearing for a long time now.

Let’s take a look at those specs;

- 6.44-inch IPS LCD display (1920 x 1080) with 342ppi

- 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor

- 2GB of installed RAM

- 16GB internal storage capacity with MicroSD expansion slot (up to 64GB)

- 8MP rear facing camera (Sony Exmor RS sensor), with 1.3MP front facing

- 3,000mAh non-removable battery

The size of the device alone suggests that Sony is going after Samsung’s Note line but, the question is can they go after Samsung on the software front? Love it or hate it, TouchWiz has a lot of added value when it comes to the S-Pen, with apps that get the most out of the pen-input and offer users some real productivity tools. Sony has often kept their skin close to that of stock Android, so it will be interesting to see just what Sony can bring to the table with the Xperia ZU.
