LG Nexus 4 Quick Start Guide Leaked on Official LG Site, Prototype Also Lost in Bar

Posted: 27 Oct 2012 04:47 AM PDT


LG Nexus 4 has got to be one of the worst kept secrets out there, since it has leaked a lot, shown its face in photos a lot, press renders too and it even got reviewed. Today its quick start guide gets published on the LG official support page, but under the codename LGE960, also associated with the device.

You can check it out over here, if you want to have a glimpse at the small manual. Thanks to it we also find out that the device will come in an 8GB and 16 GB version, while the back of the handset is said to feature an induction coil for wireless charging. On a stranger note, it appears that the prototype of the LG Nexus 4 was forgotten in a bar, then found, unclaimed and returned to Google. The strange thing is that the person who found the phone was actually threatened with the police, after the person who lost the device didn’t admit losing it.

Quite a strange story this one… It reminds me of the scandal in 2010 when an Apple employee forgot an iPhone 4 in a bar and the guy who found it sold it to Gizmodo for $5000. The police also got involved then and it was a huge scandal. This time it’s a lighter one, but still a scandal. I smell PR stunt…

Mystery Windows Phone Caught on Camera, Could be a New Huawei WP8 Model

Posted: 27 Oct 2012 03:31 AM PDT


Over the past weeks we’ve seen the Huawei W1 dual core Windows Phone 8 device leaking, both in press pics and hands on images, plus specs. It was actually a pretty decent phone and now we may have another Huawei model on our hands, also with WP8 on board. The leaked pictures below seem to portray a new Windows Phone device and hints point at Huawei for it.

This model seems to resemble the Ascend P1 a bit, although it looks quite plasticky and cheap, to be honest. The only things we know about it is that it sports a back camera with LED flash and a pretty decent looking speaker at the back. Upfront we’ve got the classic 3 touch buttons for Windows Phone: Back, Menu and Search. There’s an interesting slope on the chin of the handset, making it look a bit more interesting, but overall it looks like a blocky smartphone.

The diagonal also doesn’t seem that big, so I expect something like a midrange or lower end smartphone, maybe with a 4.3 inch 480 x 800 pixel display, 512 MB of RAM and 5 megapixel cam at the back. Will we see this model showcased on Monday, during the Windows Phone 8 event?
