Nexus Q Gets Android 4.4 Kitkat


So do you remember nexus Q? It is an orb-like media streaming device, which sort of makes it the predecessor of the Chromecast. Google unveiled Nexus Q  last year at the Google I/O, and recently Google removed it from play store. Inspite of the product failing to take off, many users still have Nexus Q and they were stuck with ICS. However, now it seems like the old Nexus Q can be given a fresh lease of life.

Samsung Galaxy Line - Galaxy S5 Concept by Tobias Hornof 
A lot of the these rumors and leaks appear to be focussing on the chassis of the Samsung Galaxy S5,with them claiming that with Samsung Galaxy S5, company will finally move away from Polycarbonate/plastic based body to a Metal based body. A samsung official said that the company is currently taking a look at metal and other premium build materials for its flagship phone. An important factor in this decision making is that  how quickly and efficiently Samsung manufacture the product. Even though Rivals such as HTC have beautifully designed flagship phones, but Samsung is able to move the maximum phones of the shelves and the easily available plastic based material had an important role. Since the Galaxy S flagships are getting more popular each year, the Samsung Galaxy S5 demand is expected to outmatch the one of its predecessor, so its is expected that Samsung will not completely move to a Metal based design, instead we are more likely to see two versions of Galaxy S5 mobile- one with full aluminium body and other will standard Poly-carbonate design.

Anyways, there is still lot of time before these hit the market, so we can take this with a Grain of salt now, but yes the old saying does hold true - " there cannot be smoke without fire" . Keep reading this section for more updates.

Samsung Galaxy S 5 Specs leaked by Antutu Benchmark



Another Leak for Samsung Galaxy s5. This time it is leaked via Antutu benchmark. The latest leak however, is slightly different as it suggests two major changes - An Full HD screen instead of previously rumored 2k Screen and an Snapdragon 800 processor under the hood.





One of the expected Galaxy S5 variants, the SM-G900F, has once again shown up in a benchmark, this time on AnTuTu’s benchmark database. We have seen previously the benchmarks a few months before release gives us a good idea about the specs of the smart phones. However, looking at the benchmarks, it’s entirely possible we’re looking at an early prototype and final hardware isn't ready just yet .Samsung SM-G900F is widely believed to be the official product name of the international Samsung Galaxy S5 variant, the latest leaks have hinted that the Samsung Galaxy S4 could retain its 1080p Full HD display and this has given rise to the possibility that this is just an early prototype of Samsung Galaxy S5 and not the finished product.



Also, the previous rumours has suggested that S5 will be launching with Exynos chip which would either be HMP or 64 Bit. However, the benchmark suggests that S5 will be launched with a a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor.

Aside from the lack of a 2K display and new Snapdragon CPU, the latest Samsung Galaxy S5 specs leak is a pretty familiar affair, backing up recent claims of another high-end Android powerhouse.

With Google’s latest Android 4.4 KitKat OS tipped to run the show, the leaked benchmark has claimed the Samsung Galaxy S5 will play host to 3GB of RAM, an Adreno 330 GPU and a 16-megapixel rear-mounted camera. However, we expect to take all this with a grain of salt as benchmark even if true points to an old prototype of Samsung Galaxy S5

While a 2-megapixel secondary snapper is tipped to sit up front, the Samsung Galaxy S5 specs sheet will reportedly be rounded off by 32GB of internal storage. And yes, as usual this will have external memory card storage option as well.
