LG Nexus 4 E960 Finalized Specs Confirmed, 16 GB Version Will Exist

Posted: 22 Oct 2012 11:49 AM PDT


The already famous Twitter account @evleaks is at again, leaking finalized information about the LG Nexus 4 and what looks like a press picture of the handset. Luckily, it appears that we will end up having a 16 GB version in the end, in spite of rumors that we’d only get 8 GB of storage and no microSD card slot.

In case you want credentials, @evleaks leaked official press pics for the HTC 8X, 8S and Nokia Lumia 820 and 920 before they were announced. Knowing that Google has an event scheduled on the 29th this month, I tend to believe this leak is real. So, we’re dealing with a quad core Snapdragon S4 Pro-based handset, with 4.7 inch 1280 x 768 pixel display, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage and an 8 megapixel camera at the back.

Upfront we’ve got a 1.3 MP camera and inside there’s a 2100 mAh battery, all of that crammed into a package that’s 139 grams heavy and 9.1 mm thick. Also, when you look at it from the front, this model resembles the Galaxy Nexus quite a bit. Android 4.2 should also be on board.  Who’s getting one?

ASUS PadFone 2 Takes Down Competition in Quadrant Benchmark, Scores Almost 7500 Points (Video)

Posted: 22 Oct 2012 03:20 AM PDT


Announced one week ago, the ASUS PadFone 2 promises to be one of the most appealing products of the year end, a perfect hybrid between a high end Android smartphone and a 10 inch tablet. However, it’s the ticker of the handset that has us particularly captivated, especially after it has been put to the test and impressed everyone in the Quadrant benchmark.

I have to remind you that the PadFone 2 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 quad core CPU at 1.5 GHZ, a popular choice these days, being included on the HTC J Butterfly, LG Optimus G and LG Nexus 4. The processor is accompanied by 2 GB of RAM on the new PadFone and as shown in the video below, the device manages to score a very good 7493 points, while the HTC One X for example is far behind, at 4700 points. Even Samsung Galaxy Note II scores 6000 points at best and we’re talking about comparing devices out of the box here, not custom ROMs and tweaks.

This is a very impressive score, but we have to check out what the LG Optimus G and HTC J Butterfly can do, before truly appreciating this handset. It’s looking good so far and I have to remind you that the hybrid comes to Europe and Asia around December with a price of around 800 euros for the combo.
