After the launch of its flagship Galaxy S5, Samsung is also focusing on other products. Started from the Galaxy Note 3, the leather like back panel is adopted by the Galaxy Grand 2, and now it seems that Samsung is planning to launch other devices with the same approach.
As per Evleaks, Samsung will launch a Google Chromebook wrapped with the leather like plastic coating that the company loves so much these days. Not much information is available on this, but if rumors are to be believed, we can expect a Samsung Chromebook with leather like coat really soon.
Samsung has just launched the Galaxy S5 at the Mobile World Congress 2014. While, the company has unveiled the device and all of its features, the price of the Galaxy S5 still remains unsaid.
However, putting some light on how well priced the Samsung Galaxy S5 will be, the Korean Media has reported that the device will be priced lower than its competition(Sony Xperia Z2). Samsung will partner with various carrier providers internationally and that might include India as well, this can be true after considering what happened with iPhone 5s.
Meanwhile, considering other rumors the Galaxy S5 is also said to be priced cheaper than the launch price of the Galaxy S4. Which means cheaper than 41,500 INR and this definitely, does not sound realistic. The official details should not be away, as this device will be launched on 11th April in 150 countries.

We have been waiting for some official news for the Nexus 5, the wait continues as what we are going to talk about is still not official but does gives us a hint of when this much awaited phone can be official.
The latest leaked render from evleaks shows Nexus 5 with a white back, the post shared on twitter says “In white. 11/1.” It’s definitely an unclear statement, but if we consider the previous leaks and the Google Play Store listing this might just be the right time to launch the Nexus 5. As per the rumors the smartphone will feature a 4.95 inch Full HD 1080p display, and will be powered by a 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU. The device is said to be available in both 16 and 32 GB variants with a black and white color options and ofcourse the leaked pricing of $349 which can undoubtedly make this phone a hot seller once it is available in the market. Stay tuned for more news on Nexus 5!
We have been hearing rumors since a long time now, that Nokia is to launch the Asha 503. With the recent news, Nokia Asha 503 is revealed in an image showing different colors.
Evleaks shows up yet another leak for the latest upcoming feature phone from Nokia, the rumoured Nokia Asha 503 on Twitter. The tweet also shows that the phone might launch by the end of this year. The leaked image of the Asha 503 shows the feature phone in multiple colors, with a 5 MP camera sensor accompanied with the LED flash. The image also shows the power button, volume rocker, audio jack and a Micro USB port.
The device shown up in the image has a glass like coating, which could be a clear case from Nokia which might be available in the box. The official launch will be within this year as per the source, we will keep you posted till then enjoy our quick review of Nokia Asha 501:
After the launch of the Sony Xperia Z1 at IFA 2013, its time to get back to the rumors. The mini version of the water resistant smartphone by Sony showed up along with the Z1 itself.
With the leaked images we get to look at some of the specs as well. The Xperia Z1 mini is rumored to come up with a 720p 4.3 inch screen, boast 2 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal memory, powered by quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, Android Jelly Bean 4.3 and sport the same 20.7 MP camera as on the Xperia Z1. The Z1 mini is rumored to make its official appearance at CES 2014 in Las Vegas this January.
These are leaked configurations, as there is no word from Sony about this device. The above configurations seem a bit too much as it shows that the Z1 mini will be powered with the snapdragon 800 processor and will sport a 20.7 MP camera, but if this rumor comes up true just like the rumors of a plastic iphone 5c which came up to be true, the Z1 mini seems to be a nightmare for its competitors.
However, the Japanese major has not yet revealed its plan for the smaller-sized version of its flagship smartphone. If we look at the previously launched mini versions of the phones like HTC One and the Galaxy S4 it shows that all smartphone minis have opted for lower grade processors than their bigger ones, we believe something like a Snapdragon 600 processor might be the choice of Sony for the Z1 mini.
Will Sony follow what is been the trend for mini phones, or will it completely change the segment of “mini” phones with its rumored Xperia Z1 mini, we will have to wait and see what Sony brings to the table.
What appear to be images of a Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch running Windows, yep Windows, have been found online. The possible leak shows a 2,560 x 1,600 LCD (4 X resolution than the existing MacBook Pro) there are also dual Thunderbolt ports and HDMI video that shipped with15inch variant.
No information on how the computer performs or if it runs on the Ivy Bridge platform, the images do show Windows running on it. However the macbook pro 13 inch with Retina display could be a perfect balance between a unibody and SSD design and portability.
The images are also speculated to be of a Chinese ripoff replica running windows on substandard hardware, like the macbook Air replica seen earlier.
Apple will hold a special event on Oct 23rd to launch several products including the new iPad Mini and the rumored revised Macbook Pro 13 inch with Retina Display.
We have some exciting news for long-suffering Android users patiently waiting for a feature that arguably should have been included since the beginning. Google is set to add pinch-to-zoom to its next version of Gmail, presumably to be added to the final build of Android 4.2 when the Nexus 4 launches next month.
AndroidPolice obtained exclusive access to the .APK file, which seems to work without issue on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Besides the obvious improvements, Google has added some subtle things such as swipe right to archive/delete, as well as reporting phishing from inside the app.
Even more features are said to be on their way, including the ability to swipe an email in the inbox view left or right to either archive or delete, always delete, or do nothing when in the All Mail or Sent views.
We imagine the “archive or delete” option will hit you with a prompt asking you which one you want to do. You’ll also be able to do this for labels. Performing the gesture on “regular labels” will remove that label.
Finally, a new “Report Phishing” feature has been added. Google probably wanted to give users a way to report the far more serious problem of phishing instead of the more generalized spam. This should hopefully allow them to bust these malicious emails more effectively and efficiently.
You can check out a preview video after the break. Android Police says it’s working on obtaining permission to release the .APK to rooted Android users running Jelly Bean, but we’re sure other copies will crop up in the near future.
The rumoured iPad mini shell that was leaked earlier has gotten a new life thanks to new images prior to the 12th Sept 2012 iPhone 5 launch. The shell appears to be thicker in size and the claimed iPad mini will not have a sim card slot, making a stab at the success of the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 tablets. The tablet also touts dual speaker arrangement and the new style dock connector that is seen in the leaked mockups of the iPhone 5 as-well.
The next iPhone/ New iPhone / iPhone 5 will have some serious changes in design if all the recent leaks are to be considered. German website iFun has spotted what appear to be nano sims, at the IFA floor. If the website is to be believed the German Carrier T-Mobile (formerly Deutsch Telekom) is all set to start selling the upcoming iPhone, or atleast is ready with Sim Cards.
The only thing that really worries everyone at iGyaan is the lack of support for nano sims from our Carriers here in India. Just imagine after receiving a shiny white iPhone 5 (or 4 of them) just after launch, I’ll have to hacksaw my micro sim – Ugh!
Google has launched their first official Tablet dubbed the “Nexus 7”. Priced aptly or in-fact cheaply at US $ 199 the Tablet will ship with Jelly Bean Android 4.1 out of the Box .

There are some images floating around the Inter-webs of a new iPhone design shell, that has been received by many repair companies. UBreakiFix has added some pictures that show a completely new iPhone dock connector.
The images also indicate a brand new back design with a mix of aluminum and glass, that seems to look rather interesting to us. There is still chances that these are images from a fake chinese manufactory, pretending to be the real deal. But, it definitely strengthens the rumors of a 3.99 inch 16:9 screen and a tiny dock connector.
A couple of days ago Samsung Galaxy S3 popped up on Amazon Germany’s site and showed off the specs that could possibly be the most accurate pre launch information of a device. A 4.7 inch Super AMOLED touchscreen and a 12 megapixel camera are two things that were mentioned clearly in the listing title. The listing also shows 16 GB of internal memory, expandable up to 32GB. Unfortunately no images of the device are available on the posting.
Looks like information on the, due to be released today, Nokia Windows Phone Lumia 610 has been outed. The phones has a substantially lower end spec lineup but the price seems to be the attractive aspect of the device. Priced at a mere Rs. 11,000, the device is expected to change Nokia’s bad outlook in recent times and may also give a heavy boost to Windows Phone as an OS. The Lumia 610 will feature a 3.2-inch display and a 3 MP camera. It will also run Windows Phone Tango, running on just 256MB RAM.
The Phone is expected to be officially launched within the next 24 hours along with the global edition of Lumia 900 flagship smartphone from Nokia.
Sony’s first handset, after their major split with counterpart Ericsson, might be rolling into the Mobile domain. the Sony Xperia U “Kumquat” might just have shown itself before purported launch at MWC 2012 next week. Specs include
3.5-inch FWVGA (854 x 480) Reality Display
1GHz dual-core CPU
8 MP Exmor R sensor with 720p video capture
1,290mAh battery
Android 2.3.7
While the battery is replaceable, the OS is rumored. This phone could possibly be placed at a lower bracket compared to exiting SE phones. Oh the wonders of a new breakup.
The iPad 3 Rumors are starting to our in and flaring over what is said to be the next iPad slated for a early 2012 release. Here is what the inter webs are discussing:
Launch Date
The iPad 3 is supposedly set to be launched in around the end of January with sale beginning on 24th Feb 2012 (Steve Jobs’ Birthday)
Processor
If Apple is launching a new iPad we can expect a spec bump, Rumors point to a dual core A6 chipset clocked at 2GHz with enhanced Graphics processing equivalent to gaming consoles.
Display
Apple is also said to be working on a Enhanced retina display for the iPad 3 ( or simply a higher res display than the current version.).
Camera
People complained a lot about poor cameras in the iPad 2 and Apple is said to be fixing that issue with the 5MP snapper from the iPhone 4 being installed in the iPad 3 along with FaceTime HD front camera.
Design
Apple is said to be furthering the slim profile of the iPad 2 by making the iPad 3 even thinner. The form factor will continue to remain the same and the smart covers will still work.
What will actually happen at the launch of the iPad 3, if there is one, will only be known post the launch. But the rumors point in the general direction that any company would head in. The possibilities of these changes is quite high. The only thing that we are unsure of is the shipping date.
