HTC 10 Images Leak Ahead of Launch

In what is a clear indication that the HTC 10 launch is right around the corner, more images of the beautiful looking device have leaked online. After the previously leaked images which gave us a glimpse into what the back of the phone would like, the latest batch from today, courtesy a tweet from Steve Hemmerstoffer, reveals the phone’s back and the front in all its glory.

Today’s leak reveals a very interesting development in the HTC 10’s design scheme. The front of the phone carries a home button below the display of the phone which, by the looks of it, also houses a fingerprint scanner. This is an important development as this move will see HTC move away from its usual three capacitative button system.

Other than this, previous renders, and leaked benchmark scores peg the phone to come with a 5.15-inch Quad HD display with a top of the line Snapdragon 820 SoC paired with 4GB RAM running the show. The phone’s camera is also being touted to be something of a breakthrough, and HTC will be seen fitting a 12UP (Ultra Pixel) camera sensor with proprietary tech which will enable the phone to click amazing photos.

LeEco Le 2 Pro Images and Specifications Leak

It was only yesterday that eager “Superfans” of LeEco were treated to leaked images of the Le 2, and today pictures and specifications of the Le 2 Pro have found their way to the Internet. The new leak suggests that the Le 2 Pro could be shown off to the world as soon as April, which in all honesty sounds like a bit of a stretch.

The phone looks to have carried forward the design scheme followed by LeEco for its first generation of mobile devices. The body seems to be made completely out of metal, possibly even the same aluminium unibody design from the Le1s which won’t be too surprising considering the positive response it got from customers across the board.

The leaked images which were earlier posted on Chinese Social Networking site, Sina-Weibo reveal the phone to come packing a Snapdragon 820 SoC paired with 4GB RAM along with 64GB of inbuilt flash storage. Leaked specifications further show the phone to bear a beautiful 5.7-inch Quad HD display and a 20-Megapixel rear camera. The Le 2 Pro will get the juice it needs from a 3100mAh battery pack.

The device will be equipped with Dolby Atmos tech, three microphones for noise cancellation, ultrasonic fingerprint scanner along with a USB Type-C port. The source indicates the pricing of the device could be set around the $380 mark(Approx Rs 25,673) putting it firmly in competition with Xiaomi’s Mi5.

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
