Protect yourself from Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The best way to prevent the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic illness is by avoiding your exposure to the virus. Clean your hands often, use soap and water for at least 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol to clean your hands more frequently.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands or after being in the public.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Maintain a safe distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.
Stay home if you’re sick and take help from local health authorities and medical professionals.
Make sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze. Properly dispose the used tissues in the trash, and immediately clean your hands with soap and water or a hand sanitizer.
Wear a face mask if you are sick or if you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. Do not wear a face mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick.

Sundar Pichai to bring next version of Android OS at Google I/O



Google I/O or the company's Annual Developers Conference is at our doorstep, on 25th and 26th of June, where about 6,000 developers and media officials will be flooding their way to San Francisco, California, United States.

The main man on the shows floor is Sundar Pichai, Senior Vice President of Android, Chrome and Apps, at Google. After an interview with this Google Senior VP, the people at BloombergBusinessweek, believes that, Android's head, Pichai and Google are all set to introduce their next version of Android operating system, which is ready to be showed in public attendance at their impending Annual Developers Conference, in just a day's time.

We really don't know who to take this news at the moment, as Google has always kept a habit of announcing the latest editions of their mobile operating system, often in fall, somewhere in October or November, as seen from the previous years. The source reports, exactly claims that, Sundar Pichai has started preparing for Google I/O, earlier this month, where Google actually plans these events at the last minute. In this regard, Pichai had to make different decisions on the company's projects those are ready to be showed off to the community. And they also writes that, he will be previewing the next release of Android operating system, that is rumored to be named as 'Lollipop' or 'Lemonhead', at the Google I/O event, rather than keeping it cook until this year's fall. As this statement seems to be hinting, "I want the world to understand what we are doing sooner."


"Device makers complained this was too late to prepare for the holidays and put them at a disadvantage to the one company selected each year to develop the Nexus phone in conjunction with Google."

Other than just about Android itself, Sundar Pichai is expected to talk some words about their new Android Wear, a wearable system software based on Android, alongside he will also be announcing new manufacturing partners, that will build products using Android Wear platform.

Motorola Moto X+1 is being talked here



Motorola have been allegedly preparing a Moto X+1 smartphone as their next flagship handset, and we have been hearing and seeing numerous rumors and leaks about the American's next generation bellwether smartphone, yet to go official from the Lenovo owned company, Motorola Mobility. Back in April, we had reported you, that Moto X's successor phone will offer new backplate options for the looming Moto X+1. While, Motorola's current flagship handset and other devices like Moto G has been a blockbuster in the United States, as well as other parts of the world, we have the firm's next phone already peeping out the crooks.

Accordingly, the popular and customary tipster, evleaks from Twitter has got a new Press render of a smartphone on their database, calling it the impending Motorola Moto X+1. The handset here is actually "encased", meaning swaddled in a protective case, inside out. But, the device we witness here seems to sport some noticeable changes from what we have been already seeing on the internet for a while now. First and foremost, we can't find a LED flash light anywhere near the main camera lens, from it's back facet (image on the right side). And on the left/front, we get to see couple of front-sided speakers, like the ones packed on the company's latterly announced Moto E handset. Also the phone here don't looks to feature a front facing secondary camera, at any cause, again shedding lights to the name of Moto E. And why is that 'Sun Beam' Google Play Edition sort of live wallpaper being pictured here? We are sorry, there is no definite answer we can give you at the moment.

Lamentably, there is no point in expecting a front runner smartphone without an LED flash and a front facing snapper in a year like 2014, as we may be looking at an untamed Google Play Edition of Moto E smartphone from the wild. However, the phone here is having it's power switch and volume up and down rockers placed on the right side of the smartphone, along with a microphone fitted on the back side. We must be waiting for some more news to confirm, which this smartphone, basically is.

Update: evleaks has posted a new image, that falls in line with the previous leak you see above, the smartphones you are seeing here are now reported to be the Verizon Wireless version of Motorola Victara, stuffed in Incipio made DualPro Hard Shell Case with Impact Absorbing Core.

Sprint announces Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport



At Sprint's Press Conference, in Chicago, United States this morning, the South Korean phone maker has announced a new iteration of Galaxy S5 smartphone with the Stateside telecommunication and wireless network provider, Sprint Corporation, named as the new Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport. Headlined as, "Stay on top of your game with a smartphone built for the athletic lifestyle".

The new handset is said to be for the dedicated athletes and sportsmen in town, with keeping fitness in mind. Let us remind you that, this is reportedly a different version of Samsung Galaxy S5 Active that was announced for AT&T, the past month. The new phone from Sprint and Samsung will come with IP67-certification rating on board to handle dust and water resistance during any kind of outdoor workout activity. The phone can explore up to one meter deep in water for 30 minutes of time.

In term of the hardware, Samsung seems to have tweaked their design of the Galaxy S5 Sport smartphone, making it almost as thicker as the Galaxy S5 Active, but in a different way, with a textured body, that will basically increase the grip when holding the handset. There is also the three hardware physical buttons on the front of the smartphone like the GS5 Active, that will be easier to navigate when used under water or at active conditions. The newly unveiled phone will be measured at 144 x 74 x 8.9 millimeters in dimensions and weighs slightly less than their Active smartphone at only 158 grams, where else AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 Active weighed 170 grams on mass. Unfortunately, the new release from Samsung is not said to feature Military-specifications 810G, as it did earlier.

"We continually innovate to provide our customers with new products that can improve their lives. Previously, Sprint brought together Harman Kardon, HTC and Spotify to redefine how music should sound on the modern smartphone. Today, Sprint joins leading innovators in Samsung, Under Armour and MapMyFitness to drive technology advances for fitness, health and wellness," said Dan Hesse, Sprint Chief Executive Officer.



The Galaxy S5 will boot with on board fitness applications like the new MapMyFitness, developed by Under Armour, Inc. which is an American sports clothing and accessories company. The app will actually use your smartphone's GPS to track all the user's fitness activities and stores the details with information like duration, distance, speed, calories burned and even the route traveled on a new interactive map setup. There is another fitness app from Sprint, called the Sprint Fit Live, that "delivers instant access to favorite health and activity apps from the active wallpaper or the full screen experience to tailor workouts, music and healthy living content to fitness interests and routine". Also it includes Samsung's proprietary features like, Activity Zone, S Health, Multi Window, Quick Connect and Samsung's security attribute, KNOX. On the back we also find the heart rate sensor fitted aside the LED flash light under the main camera lens, like other Galaxy S5 models, announced lately.

For the internal specification listing, the GS5 Sport will sport a Quad-Core 2.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8974AB Snapdragon 801 processor, Adreno 330 Graphics Processing Unit, 5.1-inches Full High Definition Super AMOLED screen panel of 1080 x 1920 resolution display, 16 gigabytes of expandable internal storage and two gigabytes of Random Access Memory, 16 megapixels primary shooter on the back with LED flash light, that can shoot Full HD 1080p videos at 30 frames-per-second and a two megapixels front facer. The device have Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and 4G LTE network capabilities that support Sprint Spark connections, a 2,800mAh powered battery and running Android's version 4.4.2 KitKat over Samsung's TouchWiz User Interface.

The smartphone will be up for sales in two new colors, Electric Blue and Cherry Red, where Sprint will sell the device from 25th of July on a two year contract at $27.09 monthly, for free upfront cost. Sprint also offers it's users with free six months of Spotify Premium trial, 12 months of free MapMyFitness MVP and also $50-off for the Gear Fit smartwatch from Samsung at purchase for a limited time.

Olleh is offering South Koreans with Special Edition Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A



The South Korean multinational consumer electronics manufacturer for smartphones and tablets had announced their year's flagship, Galaxy S5, back in February at the Mobile World Congress trade exhibition, in Barcelona, Spain.

While the handset is now available internationally, the Korean firm have decided to refresh their S-series with a more premium and new device that will be exclusively sold to the native South Korean consumers. In this regard, the company went officially announcing the new Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A for their home land, just a week back. And now, according to an Italian media, their new deluxe smartphone is getting a brand new Special Edition, again for the countryside customers only (most probably) as it will be marketed by KT Corporation, formerly also known as Korea Telecom with the exclusive "Olleh" branding on the redesigned back cover of the smartphone.

So, what's really making this a standalone? When you buy a new Special Edition Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A, you will be getting a smartphone with completely modernized back cover, where now the company gives it an elegant looking diamond-like texture, unlike the perforated leather pattern from the current models, which will be available in three different color options from Black, White to Silver, with other details and trims in a classy looking, Gold shade. Other than the exterior changes and detailing, the smartphone will remain the same with top-end internals including, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 5.08-inches Super AMOLED WQHD screen of 2560 x 1440 resolution display, 16 and 32 gigabytes of internal storage, coupled by 3 GB of RAM, 16 MP camera with OIS, LTE-Advanced radios and running Android 4.4 KitKat. We don't hear any words on the availability and the pricing details.

Apple iPhone 6's 5.5-inches display panel gets measured on scale



We have been seeing enough evidences of Apple's next generation iPhone 6 smartphones, over the past months. Today, courtesy of 9T05Mac, we have received couple of pictures, that shows-off an LCD panel component from the upcoming iPhone 6, which has been measured by a scale. In the past it has already been rumored, that Apple will be announcing their 2014 front runner smartphone in two version, on with 4.7-inches display and another one with a bigger 5.5-inches screen.

Earlier, we also seen a number of pictures of the impending iPhone 6's final design dummy units leak all over the web. So, when coming back to the images we see above, the photos of this components were reportedly shared to the people at 9T05Mac by Sonny Dickson, who is a leading Apple tipster on the internet, and if you don't know him, we are sorry, we can't call you an Apple pundit. The element here is been measured by a normal ruler, which reads approximately 14 centimeters, diagonally, that will make it 5.51181-inches, when roughly calculated. The devices are rumored to arrive this fall from the American manufacturer and according to our source and other third parties, Apple will be facing short in supply of the 5.5-inch iteration of iPhone 6's at launch and will reportedly release it weeks after from making the 4.7-inch model official for the public consumers, sometime in September or October, 2014.

And, for a refresher of our previous reports, the looming smartphones from Apple, Inc. is made out of full-anodized aluminium construction, something like their current iPod 5's design, replacing the glass panels from the back of the device, making it really slim and thinner when compared to the present bellwether, iPhone 5S.

The phones will have redesigned mute button along with the fifth generation iPod like volume up and down rockers towards the left and the re-located sleep/wake button on the right side, rather than placing it on the top edge, which is reportedly adjusted for better one handed operation of the handset. The displays on the new phones will be of higher resolution and clarity, speculated to be of sapphire display (at least for the 5.5-inches variant), where we heard that Apple is testing 1704 x 960 pixels screens for their unannounced iPhone 6 smartphones. The phone will be running over the latest 64-bit A8 chipset, improved battery life, network radios that support VoLTE and a bunch of new sensors, which may include, altitude, pressure and weather sensor, also with an enhanced on board compass application.

Models of Apple iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 3 and iPhone 6 leaks in the wild



Apple is reportedly unveiling their latest generation devices in September or October, later this year. For now, we have got our hands on to three new looming Apple products from the internet. Where today unlike the previous leaks, we got to see a new device that's yet to be official from the Cupertino, based manufacturer. Yes, we are talking about the next gen Apple iPad Mini or iPad Mini 3, that has made it's way to our leaks tag from a Chinese source, Apple.club.tw.

Well, lamentably we currently have no specific details, flowing in, regarding the new slate that came along with the previously seen iPad Air 2 and their new smartphone, iPhone 6. But, from here, the American multinational corporation seems to fit in their Touch ID fingerprint reader to all their upcoming smartphones and tablets. Other than that, the slates just look like any other previously announced iPads from the market, while the fresh handset is rumored to arrive in two different screen sizes, one with 4.7-inches panel and another being a phablet at 5.5-incher. And what you see from the above photograph looks like the bigger version of the next iPhone, reportedly named as iPhone 6, with 5.5-inches display.

Also, just days back, we have already seen some pictures of the impending Apple iPad Air 2 or the next iPad flagship version, that showed-off the same home button, that features Touch ID and the noticeably revamped speaker grills with flatter sleep/wake hardware button.

5,000mAh battery powered THL 5000 smartphone goes official



THL, an wholesale smartphone manufacturer from China has announced a new Android powered smartphone, named THL 5000. The new handset from the phone maker will come with immense batter capacity of 5,000mAh power juice out of the box. This Chinese firm claims their new announcement to be the world's first smartphone with a 5,000mAh powered battery on board.

And, allow us to write this, if you believe it or not, the brand new smartphone will feature monstrous 1000 hours of standby time, 47 hours of conversation time, 11 hours of webpage browsing time over WiFi connection, 125 hours of music play time in handset mode and 11.6 hours of video playback time. Well, it's not only the battery life span on the fresh smartphone that impressed us a lot, but also other internals, making it enough fit for the high-end commercial markets, may be only inside the Chinese shores.

So, the THL 5000 will focus over an Octa-Core MediaTek MT6592 processor, running at 1.7GHz and a Quad-Core Mali-450 Graphics Processing Unit at clock speed of 700MHz, a five-inches Full High Definition IPS LCD screen of 1920 x 1080 resolution display, marked at 441 pixels-per-inch, in protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 3, 32 gigabytes of Read Only Memory (expandable via microSD card slot) with two gigabytes of Random Access Memory. There is also the 13 megapixels primary shooter with Sony Exmor RS IMX135 lens at aperture of  f/1.8 on the back with LED flash light, (we suspect it to have Ultra High Definition or 4K video capturing capabilities) on the front sits a five megapixels secondary front facing snapper. The new smartphone from THL also showcases NXP audio amplifiers, providing authentic sound and high quality audio output. For connectivity, the handset tots, Bluetooth 4.0, Near Field Communication, Hall IC, Charging Po (acts as a power-pack, users can charge other smartphones with the THL 5000), OTG and HSDPA+ network support. The device will also ship with LG like double-tap-to-wake-up functions and gesture controls. Unfortunately, there is no words on the unit's exact availability nor pricing information, just yet.

HTC may be the next Nexus manufacturer, as evidence arrives



We have been hearing some words like HTC and Nexus together for a while now, and today here is some added on evidence to party. There is a new Nexus tablet coming up from the Taiwanese multinational manufacturer for smartphones and tablets, HTC. The upcoming Google partnered slate is presently named/codenamed as the Volantis or Flounder, which is an 8.9-inched Android running tablet. Android Police has got their hands on to some information of the impending slate, revealing the device's internal specifications, features and other details regarding the pricing and announcement.

According to the people from Android Police, they don't feel to treat the news as any kind rumors from the air, as their Editor, Liam Spradlin, feels enough confident in their information, they have been receiving from multiple sources on the codenamed Volantis tablet over the past months of the year. Android Police has also posted up a source image along with their latest article, where the new slate is internally mentioned as the Nexus 9. What you see from the above picture is a redrawn Press render by the source, of the image that came with the original filing you see attached below, for the sake of better vision and clearer clarity with the screen on.

The other new reports on the new Volantis tablet from Google and HTC is claimed to be build with premium materials. Okay folks, it's a different fact that once we see any rumored or leaked phone or tablet go official from the manufacturers, it doesn't seems to always feature that premium metal construction, as talked earlier, rather making it out of the same polycarbonate chassis. Let's not hope the same here, even though what we see from the initial renderings don't look like any sort of aluminum zero-gap construction with tapered edges, as reported, only resembling the looks of their current flagship, Nexus 5 like industrial design.

And for the the leaked internal specification listing, the new tablet is expected to make it to the public with a 64-bit NVIDIA Logan Tegra K1 processor, 8.9-inches screen of 2048 x 1440 resolution display, at 281 pixels-per-inch and 4:3 aspect ratio (which don't count well here), 16 and 32 gigabytes of internal mass storage options, two gigabytes of Random Access Memory, eight megapixels main shooter on the back with Optical Image Stabilization and LED flash light, a three megapixels front facing snapper. There is also the stereo front-facing speakers, even though we can't find anything from these photographs. The device is measured at 226.3 x 151.8 x 7.8 millimeters in dimensions and the WiFi only model weighs 418 grams, while the LTE version is slightly hefty at 427 grams on mass.

Lastly for the pricing, for now the premium tablets are reportedly priced at 399 United States Dollars for the 16 gigs model and $499 for the 32 gigabytes option, where the LTE enabled version can go up to $600+ tags, according to the words from tipster. But let us remind you that, this are just in case to be more curious and it is suspect to change when this finally becomes a consumer product. The Volantis tablet is also indicated to arrive with some official accessories like keyboard cases and other stuffs. The slate is hinted to come officially to the public presence sometime in the quarter 4 of this year, as a part of Android's L release. Do you remember an unknown tablet that showed it's face-off on the Android webpage, at the end of last year?
