Recently, a Twitter user @onleaks has revealed some pictures Google Nexus, showing some detailed interesting features. Want to know what they are, keep reading ;).

Looking at the pics, we see that the devices will be equipped with a USB Type C port and a fingerprint scanner on the back. Moreover, it is somehow proved that Huawei-made and LG-made Nexus will be likely to have a 5.7-inch and a 5.2-inch screen, respectively. On the other hand, we are also informed of the dimensions of the Nexuses: 146.9 x 72.9 x 8/9.8mm for LG Nexus and 159.4 x 78.3 x 6.6/8.5mm for Huawei one.

From the leak, we notice that both Google Nexuses will come with metal material, yet there is a different point in the design. While Huawei decides to provide their machine with an all-alloy body, LG just takes a metal frame for theirs.

So, if we combine these new details with what we have got so far, the picture of Google Nexus is quite completed. According to previous rumors , Huawei Nexus will sport 2K screen, a Snapdragon 810 processor, 4GB RAM, a Sony IMX230 21MP back camera, and support Rezence/WiPower wireless charging support.

Meanwhile, LG Nexus will feature only a FHD display, a Snapdragon 620 processor, 4GB LPDDR3-1866 RAM, 64GB of storage, a Sony IMX278 RGBW 13MP rear shooter along with optical image stabilization. Other specs include a non-removable 3,180mAh battery 3180, Quick Charge 2.0, and MediaTek MT3188 chipset.

Of course, no matter who produces Nexus, it is still a Google’s brand and definitely will inherite all the best and latest and advanced technologies from Google. That will be where Huawei and LG meet each other! They both will be able to apply Android M to their handsets.

In conclusion, after the one of the most famous flagships of the season Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has been launched, Google Nexus (2015) is the next one we are looking forward to. Hope that more information will be released in the near future. Now, look the gallery of Nexus leaked photos and tell us what you think 🙂 !

Many people wonder what Samsung company will do after Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and S6 edge Plus launched on August 13, 2015. So, here is  your answer: Samsung Galaxy S7!

We know that Samsung Galaxy S series is one of the main brands of Samsung and there is no doubt that the giant will maintain it for a long time. As a result, we are not very surprised once hearing about Samsung Galaxy S7 concept. Though, we are quite taken aback when information of it comes this early.

There is one recent leak in China showing a data interface related to Samsung, “MSM8996” (the model number of Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chip), and “Jungfrau” (the code name of a new Samsung Galaxy smartphone scheduled for release in 2016). It is likely that the new device of Samsung will be run by the new Snapdragon chip and even the new OS Android M.

If there is such a great machine coming next year, we guess it can be the flagship Samsung Galaxy S7. Possibly, Samsung has been currently examining the Snapdragon 820, totally different from the kind being used for Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge (Exynos). Perhaps, SD820 is so good that Samsung cannot resist.

On the other hand, we figure out that if the manufacturer is starting testing the chip, it may be in the very last stage to be fully finished and rolled out at the end of this year or in early 2016.

In conclusion, we would be very glad if the Samsung Galaxy S7 leak turns out to be true. Hopefully, more details of Samsung Galaxy S7 will come out in the near future.

Sony Xperia Z5 Plus will come with 4K display!

Well, that is not something impossible, right?!

When Sony Xperia Z5 does not even hit the market, we receive information about its sibling – Sony Xperia Z5 Plus, that will be equipped with a 4K screen. Can it be the first phone in the world sporting that feature?

Maybe!

The Vivo brand not only brought out the X5Pro to the Malaysia market, but recently the company is planning to introduce to new Y37 and Y31 smartphones. Those two handsets have been appeared in the database of SIRIM.

By the way, there is only the Y37 handset is listed on the global site of Vivo. On the contrary, the Y31 seems like to be the unreal one because there isn’t any data can be found from this mysterious smartphone. However, this is the first time we have heard about the Y31 basing on SIRIM certification.

According to the information of SIRIM, it is known that the Y31 is an dual-SIM smartphone that has the 3G connectivity. So, the device is seemed to be an entry-level one.

On the other hands, we got some information about the Vivo Y37 smartphone specs. The handset will come with a 5.5-inch with 720p IPS display. It equipped 2GB of RAM, along with 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded through the microSD card up to 128GB. The Y31 battery will come with 2,720mAh battery capacity. The Vivo Y31 powered by the Funtoush OS version 2.1 that based on Android 5.0 Lollipop.

For taking photos, the smartphone support 13-megapixel main camera as well as the 5-megapixel front-facing snapper. There will be also the LTE connectivity. But there is one strange information, the product info page said that Vivo Y37 will have the octa-core processor, however, the device’s specs sheet shows that it will have the 1.4GHz quad-core Qualcomm processor.

Until now, the Vivo company hasn’t given any further information about these two smartphones. After having been certified by SIRIM, we hope that the Y31 and Y37 will be released soon!

FINALLY…

Specifically, Shot features a 16MP rear shooter with Optical Image Stabilisation and Tri-LED flash, which are key selling points of Lenovo Vibe Shot.

Other Lenovo Vibe Shot Malaysia Specs are the 16GB or 32GB of expandable storage, 4G LTE support, dual SIM and an on-board 2,900mAh battery. For the whole view of Lenovo Vibe Shot Specs, please check out the following table:

Nonetheless, as for Lenovo Vibe Shot price in Malaysia, we still have not seen the official info displayed on Lenovo Malaysia website. Yet, prediction is that it will be pretty affordable since the imported Shot found locally costs RM1,059 for 16GB version and RM1,299 for 32GB. We hope that the price will range from RM1,000 to RM1,300 when it arrives here.
