If you’ve been doing the smartphone news thing for a while, you probably already know that most of the accurate device leaks that we see prior to an official unveiling come from case manufacturers. Companies either get specifications directly from the manufacturer or make guesses based on info that the public doesn’t have, and when those product listings go up early the whole world gets to see what a phone will look that.

That’s something not even Samsung can get away from.

Another year, another stab at taking on Google with an alternative operating system. Project eelo is a new open-source OS that will have its own web services and shun Google for the sake of privacy.

In a bit of a stunner, Jia also revealed that the company is working to secure 3 billion yuan ($462 million USD) in financing for the smart TV division of LeEco.
