samsung_ktu84_update_status_report

Last month, Samsung was in the ‘integrating’ phase of pushing Android 4.4.3 to the Galaxy S 5 and Galaxy S 4. An alleged status report from June 10 shows that testing has been completed for the Galaxy S 5. The Galaxy S 4, though, is still in the ‘final testing’ phase. For this year’s Samsung flagship, the Android 4.4.3 update is expected to arrive sometime this month. Last year’s device is slated to get the latest version of Android in July.

Being that this is just an alleged status report, do not hold anything to it. Also, carriers in the United States tend to take a bit longer to push these updates to their devices. So sit tight and enjoy the weather.

galaxy f perfect golden

The newest leak of Samsung’s rumored Galaxy F shows the top half of a press render of the device in a “Perfect Golden” color. The wallpaper of the device matches what we’ve previously seen, and the back of the device definitely looks like brushed metal, which actually looks pretty similar to the HTC One. Aside from that, we can see the heart rate monitor is still present next to the camera flash.

Still no word on exactly when we’re going to see this device become official, but we can enjoy the steady stream of leaks until then.

LG G3 colors

LG’s 2014 flagship, the G3, hasn’t been released outside of South Korea yet, but that’s not stopping LG from planning what’s next in the pipeline. The latest rumors point towards LG releasing a new version of the G3 just months after the original was announced. This new version of the G3 looks like it will feature an upgraded Snapdragon 805 CPU and faster modem that would allow it to reach 225 mbps download speeds on compatible networks. Aside from those two hardware improvements, all of the other specs seem to be identical. » Read the rest

OnePlus

The software issues that delayed the OnePlus One from shipping have been resolved. The company delayed shipping its first flagship smartphone since there was a flaw within the Open SSL encryption protocol. This was obviously an issue that had to be fixed to ensure there would be no security vulnerabilities. OnePlus has fixed the issue and is ready to resume fulfilling orders.

People who received an invite and placed an order should start receiving their OnePlus One over the course of the next few weeks.

This certainly can’t be filed into the shocking news of the day. The Korea Times is reporting that the Galaxy Note 4 will be unveiled at IFA 2014, which is when Samsung unveils the new Note smartphone each and every year. Just like last year, Samsung will offer a version with a curved display for certain markets. However, last year’s Galaxy Round didn’t feature the S Pen, but it’s not clear if this year’s variant will.

The fact that the curved version will be limited isn’t a surprise, but I have to ask why LG is able to offer the G Flex in more areas?

Samsung-Galaxy-F-Prime-vs-Samsung-Galaxy-S5-imageIf you were looking for a chance at seeing the soon-to-be-released Galaxy S 5 Prime, Galaxy F, next to the current Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S 5, you’re in luck. The PhoneArena same tipster that released photos of the Galaxy F in the wild snagged a shot of both devices sitting right next to each other.

If this is the real deal, you’ll notice that the Galaxy F comes with some pretty thin bezels. Add the dust and water resistance of the S5 with the thin bezels and metal body, you’ll have yourself a pretty robust device. Of course that all depends on the specs. Luckily, evleaks was able to deliver in that department. » Read the rest
