iPhone 6c rear cover possibliy pictured - new 4-inch iPhone confirmed?

-

Last week, we heard some noise about Apple launching 3 new iPhones this year - one of them being a new iPhone 6c to complement the purported iPhone 6s and 6s Plus facelifts. These rumors certainly sound credible, considering a refresh of the iPhone 6 duo is in order, and the market for a smaller, less pricey iPhone still exists. By the sound of it, Apple will return to the iPhone 5s' 4-inch form factor, but it will keep NFC connectivity, TouchID sensor, and Gorilla Glass around, while switching the metal build for a cost-efficient plastic back shell.

Talking about the shell, mobile parts reseller Future Supplier may have landed a sneak peak at the iPhone 6c's plastic back cover. The shell in the photos below is sized for a 5-inch iPhone 5 or 5s, and looks largely identical to the back cover on the iPhone 5c. Still, there are two subtle, yet important differences - first, the camera flash cut out on the purported iPhone 6c back cover has an oval shape, like that of the iPhone 5s, while the cam LED on the iPhone 5c is round. And second, the alleged iPhone 6c back cover has two sets of speaker holes drilled into its bottom side. The iPhone 5c has only a single set of four holes in that same spot.

Initial reaction upon having a first look at this fine specimen was to ponder the possibility of this being a mere iPhone 5 case. It's the speaker holes that sold us on the credibility of this leak. To refresh your memory, the iPhone 5 looks like this on the bottom. The alleged iPhone 6c case looks quite different.

Samsung might announce the Galaxy Note 5 in July...Compete to iPhone 6 plus

-

 The Galaxy Note 5 had been developing faster than expected, so Sammy decided to push its announcement date forward, and gain a strategic advantage over Apple's impeding iPhone 6s & 6s plus announcements. Indeed, this is the first year in which Samsung is challenged to apply the Galaxy S flagship's "release it ASAP" method to the Galaxy Note, as the Apple iPhone 6 Plus' strong sales have turned it into the first big-name competitor to Note devices.  What's even more interesting here is the forward-looking technology the Galaxy Note 5 is supposed to have. We've been tipped a couple of times already that Samsung Display will be ready to mass-produce ultra-HD AMOLED screen   in 2015, just in time for a summer Galaxy Note 5 announcement. Where display diagonal is concerned, WhoWired mentions 5.89 inches for the regular Note 5, and 5.78 inches for a Note 5 edge, which is something we have heard before and definitely makes sense for Note devices.

Low price: Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Wi-Fi priced at just $279

Samsung Galaxy Tab S is being offered at an increasingly lower price through special promotions and discounts.  Back in early April, Samsung offered a time-limited discount on the Galaxy Tab S that brought  the price down to $299  or the Wi-Fi version of the 8.4-inch model. If you've missed that deal, don't worry, a better one has just reared its head online. The Wi-Fi only Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 with 16GB of integrated storage space is now available for just $279 from both Amazon and Newegg. The smaller of the two Galaxy Tab S models currently available comes with a very bright and vivid 8.4-inch Super AMOLED panel running at a resolution of 1600 by 2560 pixels. This is definitely one of the best tablet display currently available on the market. Under the hood beats the heart of a Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5420, a chip that integrates four Cortex-A15 CPU cores clocked at 1.9GHz and four additional Cortex-A7 CPU cores clocked at 1.3GHz.  Other specs include 3GB

HTC's 7-inch tablet to have quad-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, two SIM slots

HTC working ona low-end 7 inch tablet  Codenamed H7, the device is going to follow HTC's small legacy of tablets, which is comprised by the Flyer , Jetstream,  EVO view  and most recently, the G oogle Nexus 9 . We now have some new intel on the HTC 7-incher, as the device and its spec sheet appeared in India's public import-export online database Zauba.  Described as a sample for research and development, the device packs a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and two SIM slots. These are the typical makings of a budget device, save perhaps for the dual SIM slots. Cellular connectivity is still uncommon among cheap tablets. The device will most likely run Android Lollipop, and its per-unit price that's listed inside the database is around $150. This means the H7 will target a sub-$200 price point upon its eventual release.  Speaking of that, we don't know anything with respect to the eventual release date, but HTC probably won't be k
