Samsung Nexus 10 [2014] specs leaked

@evleaks shared an image of what looks to be Samsung’s Nexus 10 on Twitter, but this leak comes with an unusual addendum alerting followers that he can’t vouch for the leak’s validity.

According to the tweet, the new Nexus 10 will feature an Exynos 5 chip, WQXGA display, 3GB of RAM, 3- and 5-megapixel cameras and Android 4.5. The tablet will also come in 16GB and 32GB variants. It’s a very sketchy leak, but until Samsung or Google make an official announcement regarding the next Nexus 10, it’s all we have to go on.

@evleaks has taken down the tweet with the image and supposed specs after another report signaled that the leak was likely a hoax.

Samsung Galaxy S5 to be unveiled in New York City during March

Recently report from an Italian journalist Flavio Piccioni, who heard from a reliable source, that the Samsung Galaxy S5 would be unveiled in London around the middle of March. Of course, that would contradict the popular idea that the next iteration of Samsung's Android flagship handset would be unwrapped at MWC in February.

A published report out of Korea on Tuesday, cites an anonymous Samsung official who says that the MWC is mostly for business meetings and that the timing is wrong for an unveiling of the Galaxy S5 in Barcelona. And instead of a March launch in London, this executive says that the unveiling will be in New York City instead.

That might not seem terribly surprising considering that the Samsung Galaxy S4 was introduced to the world in New York City's Times Square last March. If the Korean based OEM is going back to the Big Apple to unveil the Galaxy S5, we wonder if HTC will be hanging out nearby with the HTC One+ like they did last year with the HTC One.

HP Slate 6 features a Quad-core processor, dual SIM and with HD screen

Last month a reported stated that, HP intends to release a 6" and 7" Android devices, priced less than $250 each. Naturally, at this price, they are intended more to secure some foothold for HP in markets like China and India. Dubbed HP Slate 6 Voice Tab, the 6-incher already appeared at the Bluetooth certification and graphics benchmark databases.

Now we got sent a tiny, blurry picture, supposedly from a presentation at the HP Labs, which shows the back of a whitish device that has the HP logo on it.

Our tipster claims that this is precisely what the HP Slate 6 will look like, and it will indeed sport a basic quad-core processor, 1280x720 pixels HD display, dual SIM network support, and have a price tag around the very affordable $200 mark without a contract.

About a week ago, we have seen a Sony mysterious device codenamed 'Sirius' and now according to our sources, the 'Sirius' is the codename for the Sony Xperia Z1 successor Xperia Z2 and Sony will unveil the Xperia Z1 successor at the MWC as we all know that the Sony Sirius was tipped to launch at the MWC 2014 and the device is rumored to feature a 5.2 inches of display having resolution of 2560 x 1440 which is similar to the Xperia Z2 rumored display size.

The Sony Xperia Z2 aka Sirius will also feature a 20.7 megapixel of camera along with a 3700mAH of battery and the device will be the super slim and of course, the Z2 will also be water resistant, the Mobile Bravia Engine 3 with modified X-Reality for mobile also included in the specs of the Sony Xperia Z2 aka Sirius.

Samsung Galaxy S5 specs confirmed to come in both metal and plastic versions

Yes, it will come in both metal and plastic versions as has been rumored, with the metal version costing around 800 Euros and the plastic model coming in at around 650 Euros. It’s pretty much similar to what Apple has done, offering both a plastic iPhone (iPhone 5c) and a metallic one (iPhone 5s). Naturally, Samsung will be pushing people towards buying the much-anticipated metallic model – we weren’t given more details, but if a recent rumor is to be believed, the phone will basically have just a metallic back plate while being constructed of metal on the sides and front. Also, it’s still no telling whether the premium metal version will be named Galaxy F or something else.

As expected, the Galaxy S5 will sport an AMOLED display of 2,560×1,440 resolution; we were unable to confirm the size, though it should be around 5.25-inches as has been rumored often. The back of the phone will sport a 16-megapixel camera, though it’s unclear if it will have hardware optical image stabilization (OIS). Underneath, the Galaxy S5 will either be powered by the Exynos 6 processor or a Snapdragon 805, depending on whether it’s LTE-enabled or not. On the software front, the S5 will run on Android 4.4 KitKat, which is unsurprising.

While the Exynos 6 CPU was expected - which will likely be capable of operating all eight cores simultaneously - to power the handset, it’s only just been confirmed that the S5 will become one of the first smartphones to sport the Snapdragon 805 CPU, which should offer considerably higher performance than the Snapdragon 800 in the Galaxy Note 3, especially in the graphics department. It’s unclear what factors will decide what processor Samsung uses on which model – the metal version will likely have 64-bit support with the Exynos 6 processor, while the plastic model could be powered by the Snapdragon CPU (we’ve been told that LTE isn’t an issue for the Exynos CPU anymore, so we could see a change in tradition and find the plastic version of the phone with only the Snapdragon CPU in every country.)

When can we expect to see the Galaxy S5 come to market? Well, an announcement should be made in March, likely in London, followed by a launch in early April. We’re still unclear on a few details, such as the amount of RAM, battery capacity, and whether photos will be more blur-free through hardware OIS, but we’re pretty sure those details will show up in the coming weeks, as we near the official unveiling of one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2014.

Galaxy S5′s specs wise:

- QHD (2,560×1,440) Super AMOLED display
- Exynos 6 / Snapdragon 805 processor
- 16-megapixel camera
- Android 4.4 KitKat
- Plastic/metal versions
