LG unveiled the K7 and K10 smartphones at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) earlier this month. A week after that the company revealed plans for the entire K-Series, which also includes the K8, K7, K5, and K4. Now, the K4 has been spotted listed on LG's Russia website.


The listing reveals that the device is powered by a MediaTek MT6735M SoC and sports a 4.5-inch (480 x 854 pixel resolution) IPS display. RAM is 1GB, while internal memory is 8GB, although expandable. The device packs in a 1,940mAh battery.

In terms of camera, the K4 features a 5MP rear unit and a 2MP front shooter. Offering dual-SIM functionality and 4G LTE support, the handset runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out-of-the-box. It measures 131.9 x 66.7 x 8.9mm and weighs in at 120g.

Asus has revealed yet another Zenfone 2 variant, this time boasting an updated Intel chipset. The refreshed Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe Special Edition packs an Intel Z3590 chip with quad-core CPU running at 2.5GHz. There's 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 256GB of internal storage, further expandable via the microSD card slot.


The rest of the specifications remain virtually unchanged. The camera setup consists of a 13MP Pixelmaster camera on the back and a 5MP shooter on the front. A non-removable 3000mAh keeps the show running. At the front, there's a 5.5" 1080p display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

The Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe Special Edition will be offered in Silver Polygon and Carbon Night, but so far we have neither a release date nor a price.

It's officially official folks, Xiaomi's second launch for 2016 will be the Xiaomi Mi 5 and that's happening on February 24. This has been confirmed by a Xiaomi co-founder and now by Global VP Hugo Barra and India Head Manu Kumar Jain.
Both of them are promising "everything you imagined, and more," but don't give out any details on the phone itself. Leaked slides point to a 2-hour long presentation, so we will hear plenty about it, come February 24.


For now, we have rumors to go on - four versions total (half with curved screen, half with flat), a Snapdragon 820 chipset, 16MP camera and other goodies.

Xiaomi has confirmed that the Redmi 3 smartphone will be launched next week - on Tuesday, January 12. The confirmation came in the form of a teaser the China-based company posted on its official Weibo account.

    The teaser also revealed that the device sports a 5-inch display, as well as features an all metal body with a unique plaid design on the back.

As for the remaining specs, there's no official word yet. However, a Xiaomi device alleged to be the Redmi 3 recently passed through TENAA. The device's TENAA listing revealed that it is powered by an octa-core 1.5GHz CPU, and sports a 5-inch (1280 × 720 pixel resolution) TFT display.

The listing also revealed 2GB/16GB memory configuration, 13MP/5MP camera combo, and Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.

It's 2016 and you know what that means – a new iPhone lineup from Apple is on its way. Out of a credible source in Taiwan now comes yet another fresh rumor about the Cupertino handsets, to add to the growing pool of hunches, obscure predictions and speculation.

This new set of shots is about as close as we have come to actually seeing one of the new iPhones, but don't get too excited, as it seems to depict a backlight illumination component. Now, we can't really guarantee anything, but the source is quite credible and the Apple logo can clearly be spotted on one of the cables, so, we'll give the photos the benefit of the doubt.

If we assume that the hardware in question is for the new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, one would naturally expect Apple's 3D touch "mesh" to be present as well, but a detailed inspection reveals it is nowhere to be found. That could mean that the component is actually for the rumored iPhone 6C – a successor to the still very controversial "affordable" iPhone 5C. Sadly, despite this observation, no actual additional information can be acquired from the photos. They are nothing more than a curiosity at this point.

However, we do have a few other rumors about the iPhone to explore, like the possibility of an OLED display, but other sources do suggest that the switch from LCD might come as late as 2018. There has also been word of possible waterproofing in the iPhone 7 range, along with 3GB of RAM, also no visible antenna stripes and a lack of a 3.5mm audio jack on some or all of the models.

Back in early November last year, BlackBerry said it's targeting to deliver the Android 6.0 update for its Priv smartphone "sometime in the New Year." Now, the company has given a heads-up on when the update will arrive.


While we were expecting a more specific time-frame, the Canadian company just said that details on when the update will begin rolling will be outed sometime during the ongoing quarter. With the company taking time to even announce the roll out month, it's safe to assume that Priv's Marshmallow update isn't coming anytime soon.

As before, the latest heads-up was also given by BlackBerry's President of Devices Ron Louks. He was speaking at a presentation at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where-in he also revealed that news on new third-party Priv accessories is expected sometime in the next few weeks.

The update weighs in at 2GB and carries a software version of 24.11.25.en.US. The roll out in India comes just a week after the update started hitting the Moto G (2015) devices in the United States and Canada.
As for the update, aside from the regular Android 6.0 goodies, including Doze, Google Now on Tap, and redesigned app permissions, it also includes Google's security patches for the month of December.

As in most cases, it's a gradual roll out, so it may take some time before the update hits your device. Meanwhile, you can also manually check for it by heading to Settings -> About Phone -> System Update on your handset.
