nexus-5-back-leak

We already have a pretty good idea of what Google’s next-generation Nexus smartphone looks like, because it happened to leak the device itself in a video for its Android 4.4 KitKat statue unveiling. And we’ve seen it again a number of times since then — but I don’t think any of the leaked photos have been as clear as this one, which clearly shows off the back of the new device.

HTC-One-silver-back

Yesterday, HTC pushed out a rather sizeable, much-anticipated over-the-air (OTA) update to all One handsets in Canada. The upgrade brings Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and Sense 5 to the device, complete with a mass of additional bug fixes and speed optimizations, as well as a stylish new charging animation for when the handset is powered off.

Last week we saw a report that revealed Samsung’s Android 4.3 release plans for the Galaxy S4, the Galaxy S III, and the Galaxy Note II — and now those plans appear to have been confirmed by French carrier SFR. There’s good news if you’re an HTC One owner, too.

We first caught a glimpse of the Wikipad back at CES in 2012, when it was formally known as the 10-inch WikiPad:3D, but a lot has changed in the past year. Today, the Tegra-powered slate hit the shelves as a 7-inch Android gaming tablet with some pretty impressive specifications.

The Wikipad was essentially designed to compete with the likes of the NVIDIA Shield and the Archos GamePad. The team behind this new gaming tablet are hoping that it has got what it takes to battle against its competitors and be the king of the mobile-gaming market.

But does this 7-inch tablet have what it takes to make its way to the top? I’ve been testing it for the past three weeks to find out.
