Today’s news was filled with rumors about a new HP Android smartphone, one that’s supposedly called HP Brave. Although HP saw the picture and said it’s fake, one can never give up on such a nice render. It feels like a combo between the Nexus 4 and iPhone if you ask me and it’s pretty well done.

The back side is not that convincing, since I doubt HP would apply such an exaggerated branding on the phone. The placement of the camera is totally iPhone-like , but the facade is truly impressive, especially with such small screen bezels. We seem to get a notification LED in the lower area and a very narrow handset body.

HP Brave also sounds like a high end unit, according to the specs leaked on the web. They talk about a 4.5 inch 1600 x 900 pixel display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU, the Adreno 330 GPU, 2 GB of RAM and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean as the OS. The main camera should be a 14.5 megapixel unit and the front one a 2 megapixel shooter. Does HP really have such big plans with Android?

The folks of T3 have made a habit out of creating nifty concepts of yet unlaunched devices or even products that will never happen. Today we’re treated with a 12 inch iPad tablet of the future, that’s even got a video shown below.

Dubbed the iPad Pro, this device is the fruit of the increasing Samsung competition in the tablet area. The design is much like the one of a bigger iPad Mini and by bigger I mean truly big. We’re talking about a 12.9 inch display tablet with Retina resolution, which equates to 2712 x 2048 in this case.

The product runs iOS 7 in the video below and it’s a very slim tablet with a quad core A7 chip with quad core graphics. The thickness is 9.4 mm and specs include a 720p FaceTime HD camera, WiFi and 4G LTE, 16, 32, 64 and 128 GB capacities and an 8 megapixel back camera. Fancy such a model?

Martin Hajek is one of the serious designers, who delivers concepts so close to reality that he never goes wrong with them. He rendered the iPad Mini and BlackBerry Z10 perfectly ahead of their launch and now he’s back with a fewiPad Mini 2 renders, but with a twist…

The designer imagined two versions of the new iPad Mini: an iPad Mini C and iPad Mini S. Just like the in the case of the iPhone 5s and 5c, the S unit is a flagship with a Retina display still at 7.9 inches and a gold case, among other flavours. Meanwhile, the iPad Mini C is a cheaper slate with a colored plasticky case and a lower price.

The overall design of the tablet remains the same as the one of the iPad Mini, of course except for the Touch ID sensor implementation on the iPad Mini S and the polycarbonate shell of the Mini C. Apple has been known to surprise users and analysts with such announcements, so will they deliver? Also what resolution will the iPad Mini C adopt?

Le Nokia Lumia 1520 devrait être dévoilé le 22 octobre prochain lors d’un événement (le dernier ?) du constructeur finlandais à Abou Dhabi. Comme bien souvent, @evleaks vient de dévoiler sur son compte Twitter un premier visuel officiel de cette phablet.

Offrant un écran de 6 pouces full HD 1080p, ce Lumia intégrerait 2 Go de RAM, un processeur Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, 32 Go de stockage ainsi qu’un slot SD. Au dos, on devrait retrouver un capteur photo identique à celui du Lumia 925, qui comporte une optique de 8,7 mégapixels PureView. Le Lumia 1520 tournerait sous Windows Phone GDR3 ou 8.1.
