The HTC M7, the next-generation Android flagship from HTC, is expected to get its grand unveiling next week following plenty of rumors and a number of revealing leaks. A feature we weren’t expecting, however — at least up until now — is new camera technology that ditches megapixels in favor of “ultrapixels” to better smartphone snaps. A new rumor is claiming it’ll be one of the M7’s headline features.

Ahhh, the life of Vic Gundotra: private jets, beaches, and unannounced Android devices. To remind us just how cool it is, he’s posted a few snapshots using the soon-to-be-announced Nexus 10. This 10-inch Nexus tablet is slated to be announced at Google’s event this Monday in NYC (pending a hurricane). While most individuals won’t be using their tablets to snap photos, it’s nice to have the option, and judging by these pics — not a bad option at all.
Sony says they’re getting ready to ship two drool-inducing new toys. The first is a new addition to its compact NEX series, the NEX-5R, equipped with wifi, an ultra-quick (according to Sony), hybrid phase-detection/contrast detection autofocus system and — here’s where it gets really interesting — the ability to download specialized apps.
The second is Sony’s entry into the exploding action-cam market; the aptly named Action Cam is a really tiny, 3-ounce (with battery) video camera that comes with a variety of outdoor-enthusiast mounting options and the ability to use a smartphone’s screen as a viewfinder.
