LG has confirmed that it will use Qualcomm’s latest high-end Snapdragon 800 processor in its next Optimus smartphone. The Snapdragon 800 is an upgrade over the Snapdragon 600, which is currently shipping inside the latest flagship smartphones, including the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Reports that a new Nexus 7 is set to arrive next month look even likelier today after a new Nexus-branded tablet from Asus passed through the FCC. The device, which has the “K009” model number, boasts new internals, including a Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, front- and rear-facing cameras, and LTE radios.
The new Sony Xperia Tablet Z is available to pre-order in the United States today, which shipping expected to start on May 24. The 16GB model starts at $499.99, while the 32GB model is priced at $599.99. Those who go for the latter and choose exclusive white instead of black qualify for a free charging cradle worth $44.99.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a Sony smartphone on T-Mobile USA, but it appears the two companies are joining forces for Sony’s latest flagship. An Xperia Z has been leaked with T-Mobile branding on its back, suggesting a big announcement could be on its way.
A new Motorola smartphone has surfaced in images and video from Vietnam ahead of the handset’s official unveiling. The device sports a design unlike anything we’ve seen from Motorola in recent years, with a small resemblance to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. But is this the flagship “X Phone” we’ve been expecting? It doesn’t look like it.
