GT-i9505G Kernel Source Code Released, Thought To Be Google Edition S4

Google was rumored to unveil a new Nexus smartphone at I/O 2013, however the company did not even say anything about a new device. Instead they announced the “Google Edition” Samsung Galaxy S4, which is essentially similar to the conventional Galaxy S4, the major difference being that it runs on stock Android. The device itself has not been released, but it is believed that Samsung might have already posted its kernel source code. Files for GT-i9505G were spotted recently on Samsung's open source website.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Line-Up Revealed in 7, 8 and 10.1 inches

Samsung has just officially launched its new Galaxy Tab 3 line-up that addresses the high-volume segments of the tablet market with 7″, 8″ and 10.1″ models. All three devices share a common design language which is close to the Galaxy Note 8.0, or the recent Galaxy Mega 6.3. Although the different units address slightly different use cases (and price), they all have in common that they are designed to also work in front of the television as an infra-red universal remote control, a feature that is quickly becoming popular on Android, and that Apple does not support yet.

Windows Phone 8 variant of HTC One coming soon?

Almost everyone is praising HTC's One for being an excellent Android smartphone, and that's mainly because the Taiwanese company has managed to find a near flawless combination of design, specs, and software capabilities. So it should come as no surprise that HTC might want to launch another handset like it, but with Windows Phone 8 on board. According to Neowin, HTC is indeed working on a new WP8 device that will be similar, although not identical to the One.

AT&T NEC Terrain now available online for $100 with a 2-year agreement

I'll admit, the amount of Android devices featuring physical QWERTY keyboards is slowly dwindling, but thanks to the newly launched BlackBerry Q10, we might see them make a comeback. Take the AT&T NEC Terrain for instance. Available online-only starting today, the device shares a BlackBerry-styled 4-row physical QWERTY keyboard on its face, along with a 3.1-inch 640×480 resolution display. While that may sound small, keep in mind you wont have to bother with a virtual keyboard taking up added screen real estate.
