Word on the street has it that, LG is gearing up to launch its next flagship smartphone, dubbed the ‘LG G3’, on Saturday, May 17, 2014, in Times Square, New York, and is expected to be going on sale in Europe, Asia and North America shortly after its official unveiling.

Earlier today, we revealed that Samsung is expected to unveil its flagship smartphone of 2014, the Galaxy S5, in London sometime around mid-March, and not at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month as previously rumored. Now a Samsung-orientated publication has posted a list of ‘confirmed’ leaked specifications on the internet stating some of the impressive internals the device is purported to pack.

Itching to get Android 4.4 KitKat on your Galaxy S4? Of course you are. Unfortunately, it could be a while yet before Samsung’s final release is available to the public, but if you don’t mind living life on the edge and taking a few risks, then you can install a test version of the software right now.

A pre-release test ROM, which works with the international Galaxy S4 with the GT-19505 model number, has been leaked and is available to download for all.

Snapchat has today issued a new update for Android and iOS that allows users to opt out of linking their phone number with their username. The move comes after 4.6 million phone numbers were leaked on New Year’s Day following “abuse” of the Snapchat API — which Snapchat has apologized for in a new blog post.

We already know that Nokia’s been working on an Android-powered smartphone called Normandy that may never see the light of day thanks to the Finnish firm’s close relationship with Microsoft. And that’s an even more disappointing thought when you see its custom Android user interface in these leaked screenshots.

It looks like nothing we’ve seen before on Android, and I don’t know about you, but I like it.
