| Taller iPhone 5 Front Panel Gets Compared to the iPhone 4S (Video) Posted: 04 Aug 2012 12:25 PM PDT
Not a single day passes without a rumor about the iPhone 5 popping up… and this day is no exception. Today we get to see a detailed comparison with measurements between the iPhone 5 front panel and the iPhone 4S panel. So far we know that the new iPhone will be thinner and taller than its predecessor, but there’s more to this comparison. The new device is expected to feature a 4 inch display, 4G LTE and a fresh design. The iPhone 5′s glass lens will be 0.1mm thinner than the predecessor’s and the handset will be a few mm taller than the iPhone 4S. The 4.065 inch panel also shows that the iPhone 5 will offer a 16:9 aspect ratio, but as usual we advise you to take in the info with a grain of salt. The jump would be quite big from a 3.5 inch display with 3:2 aspect ratio to both a new diagonal and new aspect ratio. As you can see the front FaceTime camera is centered above the earpiece, a trait we’ve seen in previous leaks as well. It turns out that the new iPhone will include a smaller and more sensitive light sensor and its Home button will also be smaller than the one on the iPhone 4S. The general form factor of the handset won’t be changed, so aside from minor modifications and switching around of elements (audio jack and front camera) the basic look should be the same, except for the longer and thinner part.

| HTC One X+ NenaMark 2 Score Leaks, Reveals Tegra 3+ Chip and Android 4.1.1 Posted: 04 Aug 2012 04:19 AM PDT
We’ve been hearing about the rumored HTC One X+ for a while now, with its Tegra 3+ chipset at 1.7 GHz and more. Now we have some proof regarding the existence of the device: a NenaMark 2 score for it, that reveals several other details. This device is powered by the 1.7 GHz chipset made by Nvidia and features a 1270 x 720 pixel resolution. Codenamed HTC PM63100, this device runs Android 4.1.1 instead of the 4.0.3 version that runs on the HTC One X. No idea if this phone will debut on T-Mobile or not, but apparently insiders say that it may reach AT&T at some point. In the AT&T version it will be known as HTC Evitaire, provided that the source is real. HTC One X was already a hot phone and with this CPU update, I expect it to be even hotter. The NenaMark 2 score doesn’t really blow my mind, since I’ve seen similar scores on the Galaxy S III and ASUS PadFone, to be honest. The real evolution here is in the Tegra 3 CPU and since the One X+ is meant for US carriers, it means that it finally gets that needed connectivity modem for LTE. As you know, when a Tegra 3 phone must reach USA, it switches the Nvidia CPU for a Qualcomm one to avoid connectivity problems. Now that Nvidia bought Icera for their modem technology, that problem is solved and the Tegra 3+ is probably the first fruit of this cooperation. Related posts:

| Nokia Lumia X Windows Phone 8 Confirmed for September Launch by Source, Has Rotating Camera Posted: 04 Aug 2012 03:10 AM PDT
The folks of Concept Phones received a picture from a source called Johnny, who claims he’s close to someone in the Nokia Design Studio team. Meet the Nokia Lumia X, a Windows Phone 8 device with rotating camera and HD display, that’s pictured below. Remember, this is not supposed to be a concept, but rather a render of a REAL handset, supposedly… The device’s design reminds me of the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic and Nokia N93, thanks to the rotating camera mechanism. Nokia Lumia X uses a Clear Black AMOLED display, runs Windows Phone 8 and uses a Snapdragon S4 dual core processor as well. The camera from the rotating part is an 8 megapixel sensor with Carl Zeiss technology. On one side of the rotating part we have media keys and on the other one there are gaming keys, apparently. The same source of the leak claims that there’s also a new N-Gage Nokia Windows Phone unit in the making, that can only make Nokia fans happy. Once again, I’m not sure this is a real phone, so you should take it with a grain of salt. Is Nokia ready to go back to its older designs? We know how they like to recycle stuff, but are they ready to go that way again? Related posts:

| Apple Wanted the iPhone to Have Shaped Glass, According to Trial Deposition Posted: 04 Aug 2012 12:37 AM PDT
The Apple versus Samsung trial has managed to uncover some very interesting prototypes and designs of old, some of them actually giving us hints about future products. We’ve seen iPads with handles, iPads with a kickstand, an iPhone with 8 sides and many more prototypes, even an iPhone that looked like an iPod Mini. During the trial veteran designer Cristopher Stringer took the stand and discussed the early iPhone and iPad designs, also saying that the core design group consists of 16 “maniacal” people who have to imagine products that don’t exist yet. Stringer claims that Apple has been ripped off and that it’s hard to always come up with something new. Among the older court filings of the case there’s also Douglas Satzger’s deposition, detailing a mystery iPhone with shaped glass. Satzger worked at Apple from 1996 to 2008 as an “Industrial Design Creative Lead” and contributed to the iPhone 3G, 3GS and original iPhone design. He claimed that there was a strong interest in doing a two piece of glass handset, but it was too costly to actually make it into production. Related posts:
