Leaked photos show the Nokia EOS from every angle

The Nokia EOS is certainly one of the most hotly anticipated smartphones right now, but so far the Finns have managed to keep a tight lid on it. All we've seen so far are a few photos of the smartphone's panels that don't really give a great idea of its design and dimension.
Well the guessing may stop now, thanks to a bunch of live photos, sent to us by one of our readers. Those show the upcoming smartphone from every possible angle, revealing its design and confirming its PureView sensor and xenon flash.

The labels around the camera lens have been concealed, so we can't be certain about the resolution of the Nokia EOS sensor, but the sheer size of the camera module seems to confirm those earlier 41MP rumors. Besides, it would make much more sense if Nokia used the 808 PureView sensor, which is yet to be beaten in the cameraphone game than develop a new one from scratch.

There's no way for us to verify the authenticity of these images, but they certainly look like the real thing. Besides, they match the leak from earlier today perfectly, and given that they were sent to us just a couple of hours after that story broke out, it's extremely unlikely that it's simply a matter of someone creating a fake 3D model based on the first images.

Nokia EOS sides and top
Unfortunately, we don't have any confirmation on the rest of the Nokia EOS specs at this stage, but we'll keep an ear on the ground for more info and we'll keep you updated.
UPDATE: Thanks to WPCentral, we spotted these two photos, which have been leaked a couple of hours ago. They are still hot and show the Nokia EOS in much better light (literally!). If anything, at least they confirm the previous mugshots we received as legit. Their source is a newly registered Twitter account

Newly leaked Nokia EOS images

Sprint and LG announce Optimus F3 for $30 starting June 14

Sony unveils 11.6″ and 13.3″ Vaio Pro laptops and the new Vaio Duo 13

A deluge of new laptops hit after Intel announced its next generation Core processors and Sony unveiled the spiritual successor of the Vaio Z (and P to some extent), the Vaio Pro, plus a new Vaio Duo.

The Sony Vaio Pro comes in 13.3″ and 11.6″ versions, both targeting “lightest laptop with touch, ever” for their respective sizes, thanks to a carbon fiber build. The big one weighs 1,060g, while the small one tips the scale at just 871g.
Both sizes of the Vaio Pro boast 1080p touchscreen displays with Sony’s Triluminous and X-Reality tech. For processor you can choose between fourth generation Intel Core i5 and i7 with 4GB or 8GB of RAM.

The 13.3″ Sony Vaio Pro is the first to come with PCIe SSD, which Sony claims is faster than regular SSDs. This model comes with a full-size keyboard, the keyboard on both models is backlit. The palm rest is made of aluminum and is made to gradually “merge” with the desk for more comfortable typing.
Also, both models can use a sheet battery to extend battery life to 14 hours for the 11.6″ Vaio Pro and 13 hours for the 13.3″ model.
The Sony Vaio Duo 13 uses the same tablet slider hybrid design as the Duo 11 and is about the same size, while having a bigger screen and full-size keyboard with touchpad. Speaking of the screen, it’s a Triluminous, X-reality display again with 1080p resolution, scratch-resistant glass and support for a digitizer pen.

The processor and RAM options are the same as on the Pros – Core i5 or i7, 4/8 GB of RAM. Thanks to the Active Sleep tech, the Vaio Duo 13 can download new email and other updates even when the device is asleep. There’s optional LTE connectivity.
The Duo 13 is heavier than the Pros, weighing in at 1,329g.
All three new devices run Windows 8 and use Sony’s ClearSound+ tech, include NFC connectivity and an Exmor R camera above the screen. The Duo 13 has an 8MP Exmor RS camera on the back too

AMD open to building for specific Android products

AMD's business plan has always been to have its products directly tied to Windows, but the company has been struggling recently, so it is looking for other opportunities to build processors. The new word is that AMD could potentially jump into the crowded mobile processor space, but the company isn't looking for a market share fight, it wants to be more careful in choosing its path.

Lisa Su, a senior vice president at AMD, told PCWorld, 

We are very committed to Windows 8 … but we also see a market for Android and Chrome developing as well.

According to a new report, AMD doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of rival Intel and simply build mobile processors in the hopes that they will be picked up by manufacturers. Rather, AMD wants to work with hardware partners on specific projects that will bring its processers to the mobile world. 

AMD has been cutting its workforce recently, which has led to Apple hiring a number of the company's ex-employees. The company has mostly built for Windows computers, but it is also going to be building the processor for the Sony PlayStation 4. This isn't the first time we've heard rumors about AMD going into the mobile space, as we heard back in October that AMD was working on ARM-based chips.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is official: thin waterproof 5" Full HD goodness

Samsung isn't leaving much for its June 20th London event, it seems. After announcing the Intel-powered Galaxy Tab 3 set, it now made the rugged Galaxy S4 Active official.

We've been hearing about the toughie for a few months now, and those of you who expected the same specs in a rugged chassis won't be disappointed, as the "S4" in the title seems to be real, not for brand recognition purposes.5" 1080x1920 pixels Full HD LCD display in a 9mm thin phone, a quad-core 1.9 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, an 8 MP camera on the back, LTE/HSPA+ radio, infrared beamer, 16 GB of internal memory plus a microSD slot, a decent 2600 mAh battery, and Android 4.2.2 to run it all, with all the goodies of the latest TouchWiz Nature UX.The outdoorsy features don't stop with the IP67 certification, making the phone dust- and water-proof up to three feet deep for up to 30 minutes. Samsung has thrown in the "Glove Touch" mode, which lets you operate the display with mittens on, and the "Aqua Mode" in the camera app interface, which helps make better underwater pictures and video. Long-press the volume key up, and the powerful LED light becomes a torch, and that same volume rocker down can be used as a camera shutter key directly from locked mode.

As for availability and colors, here's the scoop: "The GALAXY S4 Active will be available for purchase beginning this summer, with initial retail in the U.S. and Sweden. It will be offered in three different color options: Urban Grey, Dive Blue and Orange Flare. Specific availability will vary depending on the market."

No pricing details were announced today, but the phone will be previewed at the June 20th London event of Samsung, and we've heard it's coming to AT&T, so you'll be able to snap it affordable on contract pretty soon.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 now supports Windows RT 8.1

Qualcomm and Microsoft announced at Computex 2013 that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor will now support Microsoft's Windows RT 8.1. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 features CPU speeds of 2.2GHz per core and includes a multimode 3G/4G LTE Modem. USB 3.0 is enabled as well. Microsoft will send out an update later this year from the Windows Phone Store to upgrade tablet to Windows RT 8.1. In the meantime, OEMs will be able to offer new models using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and Windows RT 8.1 later this year.

Last year, Microsoft introduced Windows RT which allowed Windows to run on an ARM supported processor. Bringing Windows RT together with an ARM based processor like the Qualcomm Snapdragon, allowed Snapdragon buyers to produce tablets, notebooks and converts using Windows that are thin, quick and fan-less. At Computex, Qualcomm and Microsoft teamed up to show the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 running on an early version of a Windows RT 8.1 slate.

Sony Xperia M is now official with 4-inch screen, dual-core processor, Exmor RS camera

Sony Xperia M has just gone official. It packs a 4.0-inch TFT display of FWVGA resolution and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus chipset featuring a 1GHz dual-core Krait processor, Adreno 305 graphics and 1GB of RAM.
Sony Xperia M also comes with a 5MP camera using an Exmor RS sensor and capable of 720p video recording, a 0.3MP front snapper for video chats, and 4 GB of expandable storage.
The Sony Xperia M connectivity package includes dual-band Wi-Fi, 3G with HSPA, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and FM radio. Sony is advertising the Xperia M as a phone with "magical one-touch functions" thanks to its NFC connectivity and dedicated sharing apps.
Sony Xperia M runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with Sony's proprietary skin on top of it. It will be available in four color versions - Black, White, Purple and Lime.
A dual-SIM version of Xperia M is also going to be available. The Xperia M dual has the same specs, except for the extra SIM slot and the lack of Lime color option.
Both Xperia M and Xperia M dual will hit the shelves in Q3 this year, but their pricing is yet to be announced.

Intel's new processors: $300 touchscreen gear coming, LTE SoC and fanless Core CPU design demoed

Intel took the stage at Computex today to announce its new frugal Core family with the Haswell build, as well as the new Silvermont architecture in the Bay Trail and Merrifield family that are "not your mother's Atom", meant for powering phones and tablets/convertibles.

Of course the big jump here for the 4th generation Core processors is not in the modest increase in performance, or even the record-breaking (for Intel) integrated graphics prowess, but rather the extended battery life of devices with them, which will be nearing current tablet territory, that hovers between 8-10 hours on average. Intel put up this chart to explain things with endurance:

As for the mobile Bay Trail architecture for tablets and convertibles, Intel said it can scale the functionality in slices, and allow $300-$400 devices with touchscreen and all. Smartphones? The Merrifield chips with Silvermont architecture are a bit further down the road, shipping to OEMs the end of this year, but they should finally put to rest the claim that Intel can never figure things out with the battery life/performance ratio as well. As Intel's spokesman Bill Calder puts it:

The myth that Intel will never be able to get power down low enough to get into phones is gone. That debate is over. Not that Intel has accomplished all of its low-power goals. You can argue with me about whether we have the full SoC integration, we don't have LTE yet – but we're getting close there. I'm fine with that conversation. But the myth of not being able to get into phones or to get power down low enough is done.

Even the LTE part of his statement was debunked by Intel showing off a mobile SoC with integrated broadband LTE radio with global reach, that is slated for release later this year. Intel's VP commented on their lack of US mobile presence: "Absence of LTE is the reason. We can't get ranged by US carriers without LTE, so once we have multi-mode LTE coming to market later this year, we have an opportunity to compete in that business."

The other sign of things to come they demoed for a brief second is a fanless tablet with a new Core processor inside, which will allow some slim and light designs running the full Windows 8 experience, for instance. All in all, Intel is seemingly getting its mobile ducks in a row, landing in a lot of tablet gear running Android yesterday, even by the juggernaut Samsung, which resulted in ARM's stock prices nosediving in that session, and Intel rising up.

Qualcomm announces new quad-core Snapdragon 400 with built-in LTE and WP8 support

Microsoft said that Windows Phone 8 was bringing "multi-core" support to the platform, but as yet, we haven't seen anything more than dual-core processors in Windows Phone hardware, while Android handsets are hitting the octa level (which of course is basically dual quad-cores). But, this is the first time Qualcomm has explicitly confirmed WP8 support for one of its chips.

Of course, the new Snapdragon 400 won't just be coming to Windows Phone devices, but Android as well, and the real star of the show is the built-in LTE that Qualcomm has put on the chip. The chip will support all sorts of wireless specs including 42Mbps HSPA+, LTE, and China's TD-SCDMA, as well as 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM, and NFC. 

The Snapdragon 400 will be a quad-core Cortex-A7 chip clocked at 1.2GHz per core. It is scheduled to hit the market late this year alongside a new 7 and 10" reference tablet design from Qualcomm. The 400 is of course the mid-low-end of the new Snapdragon line, designed for "high-volume smartphones and emerging markets".

Asus Fonepad Note FHD 6 throws its hat in the big-screen ring, does stylus fencing with an Intel CPU

Asus got unnerved by all the gigantic 5.5"+ phones flowing around these days, and came out with a unique solution of its own. The Asus FonePad Note sports a 6" Full HD display, a stylus, and is powered by a dual-core 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z2560 processor.

The chipset certainly sets it apart from all the other phablets out there (actually Asus directly called it a tablet). We also get 2 GB of RAM, 8 MP camera on the back and dual front stereo speakers, as is all the rage these days, starting with the HTC One. The 6" display panel is with 1080x1920 pixels of resolution, making it the first Full HD 6" phone announced, and is of the Super IPS-LCD+ variety, which ensures peak brightness of 450 nits and great viewing angles.

There's a longish stylus tucked in a silo here, just like in Samsung's own Note family, and the Asus phablet sports HSPA+ radio, which will allow you to talk on GSM networks and download stuff with speeds up to 42Mbit/s, if your provider supports them.

Alleged images of low cost iPhone surface

Apple is rumored to be working on a more affordable iPhone for quite some time and even Tim Cook's denial of its existence isn't slowing down the gossip train. Today, purported images of the low cost iPhone have been spotted in China, pointing to a curvy plastic body in unison with previous reports.


The images of the low budget iPhone have been obtained from two different sources, but have a similar design. Both leaked images have a curved back, similar to what was earlier seen in the iPhone 3GS.
The Weibo user, who leaked the images claims to have got its hands on the device and the user, confirms that the new design provides a good feel in the hands.


Both images show the smartphone in a bumper case, so it's uncertain if the smartphone has a metal frame like its high-flying sibling. However, the image reveals the presence of 3.5mm audio jack, lightning port and a speaker.

New Asus Transformer Pad Infinity comes with Tegra 4 and ultra high-res display

The CEO of Asus is on stage at Computex, and just announced the New Asus Transformer Pad Infinity, the first with a 1.9 GHz Tegra 4 processor. He touted it as the world's fastest quad-core Cortex-A15 processor with 72-core GPU.

A 10.1" 2560x1600 pixels WQXGA IPS-LCD display is what you'll find on the tablet, like on the Google Nexus 10, making it only the second tablet panel with this incredibly high resolution.  A 5 MP camera on the back of the metallic finish display part rounds up the great offering.

There's the obligatory keyboard dock we are used to associate with the Transformer series of Asus, with a fast USB 3.0 port this time, and the powerful processor allows for a cool 4K video output via the HDMI port. An Asus rep has spilled the beans on pricing, saying that the tablet will cost around $399 on itself, while the docked combo will run you $499, which we have to see to believe when the new Infinity launches in Q3.

Samsung announces Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and Galaxy Tab 3 10.1

We have already seen the 7-inch version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, which was announced back in April. Now Samsung has announced two new additions to the lineup in the form of an 8-inch and 10.1-inch model.
The 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 improves upon the 7-inch by offering a slightly bigger and higher resolution 1280 x 800 display and a faster 1.5GHz dual-core processor. The slate packs a 5 megapixel camera on the back, 1.3 megapixel on the front, 16/32GB internal memory with microSD card slot, 1.5GB of RAM, LTE, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth connectivity, 4,450mAh battery. It's running on the latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 model has similar specifications, including the same 1280 x 800 resolution, only it's stretched over 10.1-inches. Only differences here are a faster 1.6GHz dual-core processor, 6,800mAh battery and strangely, a lower resolution 3 megapixel camera and only 1GB of RAM. Also, as you can see from the image above, Samsung has completely dumped the on-screen keys in favor of physical buttons below the display.
Although there is no mention of it in Samsung's press release, Reuters claims that the Galaxy tab 3 10.1 is running on Intel's Atom processors. We will need to get our hands on the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 to find out which exact processor is running under its hood.

ASUS unveils MeMo Pad FHD 10 - Android tablet powered by Intel

Intel is starting to get a foothold in the Android world it seems, as Asus just announced at Computex 2013 its MeMo Pad FHD 10 tablet, powered by a dual-core 1.6 GHz CloverTrail+ processor.

The 10-incher is running the latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, and sports a 10.1" 1920x1200 pixels screen, 2 GB of RAM, 5 MP camera on the back, and a 25Wh battery pack, which Asus says is good for 10 hours of watching high-def video. It's not the slimmest or lightest tablet out there, at 580g, but the talking point here is the Intel chipset, so we can't wait to put it through the benchmark routine. 

Samsung is also rumored to unveil a Galaxy Tab 3 slate with this Intel processor later this month, so the MeMo Pad FHD 10 should give us a good impression of what's to expect from Sammy as well. The Asus tablet is arriving this fall, in September, with price to be announced at a later date.

ARM unveils Cortex-A12 and Mali-622 mid-range CPU and GPU

ARM has a problem – Cortex-A9 is old and the new Cortex-A15 cores just can't seem to make it to the market (the Exynos 5 Octa and Tegra 4 both have issues getting on shipping devices). The company just announced an interim solution, the Cortex-A12.
It offers a 40% performance increase over the A9 and should bring some power saving to the table too. It supports big.LITTLE configurations so it can be paired with Cortex-A7 to improve power efficiency even further (whether it will work or not is another matter, the A15/A7 pairing doesn’t do too well).


ARM's GPU line is in a similar spot – the new Mali-600 series really only shipped on the Google Nexus 10, most current chipsets rely either on a PowerVR GPU or an Adreno. So, here comes the Mali-622, a mid-range GPU to go with Cortex-A12.
It's an OpenGL ES 3.0, DirectX 11 and OpenCL 1.1 enabled GPU that promises 50% power-saving over the 604.


A new video core was also introduced, the Mali-V500 can encode 1080p video at 60fps and decode 4K at 120fps given enough cores.
Devices using the new generation mid-range chipsets using the Cortex-A12 and Mali-622 are expected in mid-2014

Acer Liquid S1 is announced with 5.7-inch screen, quad-core processor

Acer is now officially on board the Android "phablet" bandwagon with the Liquid S1, which just got announced at Computex. What we have on our hands is a smartphone that stands out with offering a massive touchscreen display, listed among other noteworthy specs. At the same time, the handset will carry a reasonable price tag once it is on the market.

The Acer Liquid S1 offers a 5.7-inch screen with a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels. That's far from "Retina Display" territory, but still a good enough pixel density for a decent user experience. The SoC chosen by Acer is made by MediaTek, with a quad-core processor running at 1.5GHz. Again, silicon of this kind won't crush any benchmark records, but it should get the job done. The main camera has 8MP of resolution and can capture 1080p video, while the front-facing 2MP one has wide-angle optics. Acer promises that the battery inside the Liquid S1 will last through a day of usage.

On the software side of things, we have Android 4.2 running on the Acer Liquid S1, enhanced with a few tweaks. One of them are the floating applications, which are basically widgets turned into apps that hover in their own little window above the interface. DTS Studio Sound is also on board for audio fine tuning.

The Acer Liquid S1 is bound to launch in Q3 of 2013 for a price of 350 euro ($455). Select markets throughout Europe are to get it first, including France, Belgium, Netherlands, Ukraine, Russia, U.K. and Germany, followed by Spain and Italy. There are no hints leading us to believe that the Acer Liquid S1 will ever launch in the U.S.

The Acer Liquid S1 is official

Intel Shows Off 'Merrifield'(formerly code named Haswell) Chip for Smartphones

Intel's main show this week at Computex was the launch of its fourth-generation Core processors, formerly code named Haswell, but the chip giant also took the time to offer a sneak peek at upcoming 22-nanometer, ultra-low power Atom chipsets for tablets and smartphones based on its "Silvermont" microarchitecture.
Intel said that later this year it will be rolling out a new 22nm Atom product line aimed at smartphones, code named Merrifield. The chip giant also used the Computex show in Taiwan to further showcase its quad-core "Bay Trail-T" System-on-a-Chip (SoC) featuring Intel's own XMM 7160 4G LTE multimode-multiband solution.
While Bay Trail-T products are aimed at tablets, where Intel has had reasonable success in taking on rival ARM, Merrifield SoCs will specifically target the smartphone market. So far, Intel has had minimal success in challenging ARM's dominance on that side of the mobile device market and is banking heavily on its next-gen smartphone SoCs to change that.
The Merrifield platform will "deliver increased performance and battery life" and incorporate an integrated sensor hub, which Intel said will enable the delivery of personalized services and better security protections on handsets.
Meanwhile, rumors that Samsung was planning to put Intel inside its next 10-inch tablet proved accurate as the South Korean tech giant officially announced that the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1-inch will be powered by Intel's Atom Z2560 processor, formerly known as "Bay Trail+." Purchasers of the Galaxy Tab 3 will have an option for either Intel's 6262 3G modem or the XMM 7160 4G LTE solution.

On the PC front, Intel executive vice president Tom Kilroy said that Intel is now delivering "on the vision set forth two years ago to reinvent the laptop with the introduction of our fourth-generation Intel Core processors that were designed from the ground up for the ultrabook and serve as the foundation for a new era of 2-in-1 computing."
"We made one of the most seismic changes to our roadmap ever to build these new Core processors that deliver the stunning performance of the PC and the mobility of a tablet in one device. The new processors power the most exciting 2-in-1 designs to-date," he added.
Kilroy said Intel's OEM partners had "more than 50 different 2-in-1 designs" using Haswell and Silvermont chips "across a range of price points."
Among the big names introducing new products with fourth-generation Core chips was Dell, which today refreshed its flagship XPS lineup with the XPS 12, a 3.35-pound 2-in-1 hybrid laptop delivering up to 8 hours and 43 minutes of battery life and a 63 percent performance boost over its predecessor in the XPS stable.
Intel said its 22nm Haswell processors for laptops and 2-in-1 hybrids delivered a 50 percent increase in battery life over the previous generation, "the largest generation-over-generation gain in the company's history." The chip giant promised that some ultrabooks using the new chips would deliver more than 9 hours of battery life while performing active workloads.
Some of products in Intel's fourth-generation Core lineup feature the new "Iris" integrated graphics, which the company last month touted as providing "up to a 2X 3D performance improvement over today's fastest mobile Intel HD Graphics solutions."
"The performance improvements will amaze even the hardcore computer geek," Intel said in May.
The chip giant also designed its Haswell processors with touch and other input technologies in mind, continuing its strategy of nudging the PC experience beyond the keyboard and mouse and incorporating other interfaces consumers have grown accustomed to with their mobile devices.
At Computex, Kilroy demonstrated "perceptual computing" on Haswell-based ultrabooks and 2-in-1 hybrids equipped with a Creative Senz3D peripheral camera, showcasing not just touch but also interfaces using voice, facial recognition, and gestures to operate.
Intel said it is "working on an integrated solution to build 3D depth camera technology directly into future Intel-based devices targeted for the second half of 2014."
