The development team behind Replicant OS, an open-source operating system based on Android, have discovered a security flaw with Samsung devices that can provide remote access to your data. The “backdoor” is found in a whole bunch of Galaxy-branded handsets — including the Galaxy Nexus — running “most propriety Android systems.”

There has been plenty of talk about the upcoming LG G3 handset which is all set for an unveiling in a couple of months from now. Today, a Twitter source has managed to gather more details on this handset thanks to a User Agent Profile leak. This reveals the smartphone carrying the model number LG D850 and packing a 2K resolution display, although the size wasn’t mentioned.

A new report out of Taiwan suggests that Chinese manufacturer Lenovo could soon become the next big thing in the Android industry. It is said that the company is on its way to overtake LG to claim the No. 2 spot as the leading Android smartphone manufacturer. The sources credit the acquisition of Motorola Mobility for the expected surge in marketshare.

Earlier today, a well known and trusted leaker announced on his social networking profiles that Sony’s latest mid-range phablet, the Xperia T2 Ultra, will indeed be launching on T-Mobile in the United States later this year. Obviously, this latest revelation is only a rumor, and although the source is usually extremely reliable, it should still be taken with a pinch of salt as, after all, it may never happen.

Samsung has just launched a modified version of the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 handset with LTE-A networks for its home region of South Korea. The smartphone was launched back in November last year with a 5.25 inch 720p display and a quad core processor. This variant also packs double the storage at 16GB instead of 8GB as on the standard variant.
