LG-G-Flex

The LG G Flex, LG’s answer to the Samsung Galaxy Round, has appeared in a new collection of leaked photos that show off its curved glass display. We knew the handset was coming β€” ever since LG teased its “bendable and unbreakable” smartphone displays β€” and we finally get to see what it’s going to look like.

S4-Android-4.3-SM-EDIT

A second Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) has leaked.

HTC has finally announced the One max, its new flagship phablet that hopes to compete with the Galaxy Note 3 and other super-sized smartphones. As expected, the device boasts a 5.9-inch 1080p display, a speedy Snapdragon 600 processor, and a fingerprint scanner.

Given Samsung’s habit of shamelessly copying everything Apple does, I wasn’t at all surprised to see this morning’s report that the South Korean company had just spent $650 million on a fingerprint scanning firm called FingerPrint Cards. In fact, I simply rolled my eyes when I saw the news and thought, “there’s a surprise.”

But it appears that the whole thing was completely fabricated. The press release that went out announcing the move was false, and both Samsung and FingerPrint Cards have denied the acquisition.
