HTC Ocean Spotted On HTC Designers Website

Leakster @evleaks has managed to find the video of the HTC Ocean, a presume concept phone with a Touch Sense UI, based on a touch sensitive outer frame of the device.

The leaked video shows a phone with dual cameras and a new type of Android Experience. This could possibly be the Google Pixel phone, but at this moment it seems unlikely. The video was found on the personal site of HTC Motion designer Danelle Vermeulen, and has since been taken down.

The designer has come forward to say that the video was just a concept and not any real product from HTC. However, who knows what the reality truly is.

The Video shows the phone as the “HTC Ocean with Sense Touch,” demonstrating how a touch or swipe on the outer frame can activate certain features.

The phone in the video has HTC 10 style chamfers, however, lacks the branding or Volume rockers suggesting that this indeed is a mockup stand in to demonstrate the Touch Sense, or may be a potential future product.

Will HTC possibly launch a phone with a similar touch frame design? Only Time will tell! For now watch the video below.

Someone at OnePlus must be going through a tough time, as the company seems to have fumbled the release of its print AD on the 14th of June instead of the the actual 16th June release.

The phone which will be an Amazon exclusive will launch for a price of Rs 27999 for the 6GB RAM + 64 GB variant which is Rs. 2000 below the recently launched LeEco Le Max 2 with similar specs.

OnePlus users will also get access to 12 months of Saavn Pro and Idea double data for the same period. The company is also providing 1-year of accidental damage protection with OnePlus Care. Previous leaks have told us that the 4GB + 32GB variant will be priced at Rs 23999, if it launches at the same time.

The Advertisement also confirms that the phone will run a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset along with a 16MP + 8MP camera configuration. The OnePlus 3 will also support the dash charge protocol revealed earlier.

You can also expect the fingerprint scanner/sensor in the same location as the OnePlus 2 which seems much better than a rear sensor. The Ad touts quick fingerprint unlock times, 0.2 seconds.

Apple iPhone 7 to be More Affordable in India

We have already heard that Apple is planning to launch the iPhone 7 at the same time in India as major markets like the US and UK. According to a new tip Apple is working on launching the iPhone 7 at a price lower than before and also with attractive payment plans.

According to our insider working closely with the launch of the Apple iPhone in India, he claims that pricing for the next-gen iPhone 7 will start at Rs. 49990 for the base model of the iPhone 7 (which could be a 32GB model), Apple is also working closely with Citibank and Bajaj Finserv to deliver 0% interest EMI options for customers looking to buy the iPhone 7 at launch. The plans will range upto a period of two years and will have no processing fees or surcharge.

This will give the sales of the iPhone a big push in India, with consumers getting the ability to own the otherwise difficult to afford smartphone.

Apple globally works with Network carriers to make the iPhone easily available to customers. In India, however, network carrier monthly device plans have not been a success and after the Reliance “Dhirubhai Ambani ” device offer fiasco, India network providers have generally stayed away from such plans.

Apple has however worked with Airtel and Vodafone in the past to offer up the iPhone at attractive monthly payments. This time it seems Apple is ready to go all out.

iPhone 7 and 7 Pro Renders Show Us a Glimpse of the Next iPhones

We are just a few days away from Apple’s mega event and renders are popping up all over the place. The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 pro may not be launched this time around and may be kept for the September launch. However, it has not stopped designer Martin Hajek, who is known for pretty accurate renders for showing off what the next iPhones may look like.

iPhone SE

The iPhone SE is supposedly an answer from Apple to its fans asking for a smaller iPhone after they abandoned the compact screen size. Designed on the iPhone 5s the size of the iPhone SE is expected to be very similar to the 5s, however, much more rounded like the iPhone 6.

iPhone 7

The iPhone 7 will be the notorious handset marking the end of an era of the headphone jack, or so says the world. The new iPhone 7 will have a major overhaul for the optics and some magical battery improvement.

The iPhone 7 Pro

It is much rumored that Apple will drop the “plus” nomenclature in favor of the more iPad Pro packaging for the larger iPhone 7, calling it the iPhone 7 Pro. Supposedly, just like the iPhone 7, the iPhone 7 Pro will also drop the headphone jack in favor of DAC enabled lightning headphones. However, rumors and the below renders point to dual cameras, possibly for better resolution or stereoscopic video.

While the above is just a guesstimate, it seems more accurate than ever. Also, the dropping of flat antenna bands is also in line with the design change scheduled with the iPhone 7 series.

HTC One M10 Leaks , Scores Epic Benchmarks

The HTC One M10 now belongs to the list of worst kept tech secrets. The phone has been leaked and rendered all over the internet. A press render of the next HTC One flagship has been leaked by Venture Beat’s Evan Blass aka @eveleaks

This all happened right after @onleaks started a leaking spree of the actual handset and Antutu benchmark scores that pin the device at 109,936 points on the famous benchmark app. This all leaked along with the following information : 5.15″ QHD / SD820 / Adreno 530 / 4GB RAM / 12MP / USB Type-C. Which means that HTC might finally be on the right track as far as specs are concerned, and we also see a home button fingerprint scanner like last year. Now let us hope that HTC gets the pricing right and makes 2016 a year for recovery and not its demise.

Huawei P9 Leaked Images Reveal Design and Dual Camera Setup

With launch of the Huawei’s P9 smartphone seemingly near, the phone has been amongst the news in the past few weeks. Now a new report from VentureBeat reveals major details about the upcoming phone. The leak reveals the phone to be offered in multiple variants, which would include a standard P9, a premium P9 version with improved top of the line specs, a toned down, and cheaper P9 Lite and a super-sized P9 Max or P9 Plus for people wanting a phablet experience.

The images take the lid off a slim metal design in line which goes in line with the company’s recent releases. Huawei has included a fingerprint scanner on the back, a dual cameras setup and USB-C. The images also show a thick bezel at the bottom of the phone.

According to Evan Blass, on the specs front the regular P9 will sport a 5.2-inch 1080p display, an in-house Kirin 950 chip, a 3900mAh battery, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. The premium model could offer 4GB of RAM and a brand new Kirin 955 chip.

The P9’s dual camera setup will see it come with a pair of 12-megapixel sensors with Leica lenses. Huawei also plans to incorporate some unique photography features in the phone though it’s not exactly clear right now what the plan is.

The P9 is expected to launch in the first half of 2016, but Huawei has been tight lipped about the date and price so nothing concrete is known as of now.

Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro Benchmarked on Antutu; Specs Revealed

WIth all the leaks and rumors coming thick and fast about the Galaxy A9 Pro, it looks like the time for its official announcement is very near. Earlier this month this bigger sibling of the Galaxy A9 was spotted on GFXBench, and now this upgraded variant of Galaxy A9 has found its way to AnTuTu, confirming to the world the upgrades it will bring over the Galaxy A9.

The Galaxy A9 Pro is revealed to be equipped with a Snapdragon 652 chipset and 32GB of internal storage. Though Antutu doesn’t mention the display size, but an earlier GFXBench listing pegs the phone to come sporting a 5.5-inch display, but rumours peg the phone to come with a 6 display. The A9 pro will also get a bump in RAM, moving to 4GB from the 3GB chip found on the Galaxy A9.

The phone’s camera gets an upgrade and moves up from a 13MP primary camera to 16MP. This will also mean the A9 Pro won’t have the same sensor as the rest of the A (2016) lineup. The A9 Pro comes with an 8-Megapixel camera at the front. The benchmark also confirms the phone to run Android 6.0.1
