Asus ZenFone 3, ZenFone 3 Deluxe, and ZenFone 3 Ultra to go on sale next month

Asus has revealed the release date of its ZenFone 3, ZenFone 3 Deluxe, and ZenFone 3 Ultra smartphones. The devices, which were unveiled by the company at Computex 2016, will go on sale in the Asian country starting July 12.
When the devices were made official last month, Asus revealed their US price - $249 for the ZenFone 3, $499 for the ZenFone 3 Deluxe, and $479 for the ZenFone 3 Ultra - but didn't disclose when they will be launched stateside. Sadly, there's still no word on the US launch timeframe.

Microsoft releases Hub Keyboard for Android

Image
Microsoft has made yet another app for Android, this time a keyboard. The Microsoft Hub Keyboard looks like a simple keyboard at first but it has a few tricks up its sleeve. The keyboard has four main features. The clipboard feature shows you text you had previously copied so you can paste it with a couple of taps. The documents feature lets you login to your Office 365 account and paste the URL of the files by typing their names. The contacts feature lets you type the name of the contact and paste their details by tapping on the suggestions above. Lastly, there is a built-in translator, which can translate the text you're typing to any other language. That aside, the keyboard is extremely basic and does not even have autocorrect, which makes typing extremely difficult. There also doesn't seem to be any way to access emoji if you're using this keyboard. Some of these drawbacks makes the keyboard hard to use for basic typing and the addition of the

Galaxy A9 Pro international variant is now Bluetooth certified

Image
The Samsung SM-A910F - which is alleged to be the international variant of the Galaxy A9 Pro (SM-A9100) - has now received certification from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), indicating an imminent launch. This comes just a few weeks after the handset (both standard and dual-SIM models) received Wi-Fi certification from the WiFi Alliance (WFA). Prior to that, the phone was spotted on India's import/export tracking website Zauba. Sadly, pricing and availability details of the Samsung SM-A910F aren't yet known. Also not known are the markets that'll get it, although Europe seems to be on list as a polish retailer has reportedly already started accepting pre-orders for the device. Via

Leaked Nexus Sailfish build file hints at Snapdragon 820 and 1080p display

Image
After a bunch of rumors and leaks about the next batch of Nexus devices, it's now almost certain that HTC will be tasked with producing Google's upcoming pair. Not long ago, some specs were leaked for both the bigger model codenamed Marlin and the smaller one, codenamed Sailfish . Today a fresh new leak, courtesy of Evan Blass (@evleaks) seems to shed a bit more light on the matter. It is a leaked build.prop file, allegedly from the Salifish handset. For anyone unfamiliar with the guts of the Android OS, the file in question typically holds quite a few internal settings and configuration values that often reveal the hardware platform it is intended for. In this case, reading thorough the text, we can spot both the "ARM64-V8a" and "msm8996" strings, which point squarely at Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 SoC. This does make us wonder whether the bigger "Merilin" smartphone will use the chip as well, or go with the overclocked Snapdrago

iPhone SE teardown shows hardware ranging from iPhone 5 to 6s

Image
The Apple iPhone SE is a 6s in a 5s body, but Chipworks dug into the internals and it turns out the story is more complicated than that. It straddles multiple generations - from the iPhone 5 selfie camera to the iPhone 6s chipset, a whopping four generations. The Apple A9 chipset is brand new and the SK Hynix-made LPDDR4 2GB memory matches the 6s as well. The NFC, audio chips and motion sensor are from that generation as well. The storage appears to be from the 6s as well, but an earlier 19nm chip instead of the 15nm being shipped now. The Qualcomm modem from the earlier iPhone 6 model while the touchscreen controller goes back to the iPhone 5s. Using the images and info from Chipworks, I labeled the parts on the motherboard with the iPhone generation they come from. Source | Via

HTC One (M8) mini is in the works, to go on sale in May

Image
According to an inside source from a UK retailer, HTC is working on a mini version of the recently launched second generation HTC One (M8) . The same source brought us correct info before, which lends credibility to this news. The HTC One (M8) mini will keep the new 90% aluminum unibody design. The HTC One (M8) mini is rumored to come with a 4.5" display of unknown resolution, but we think HTC will probably stick to 720p for the mini fella. There is nothing mentioned on the chipset, but apparently the HTC One (M8) mini will come with a single UltraPixel camera on its back. The UltraPixel duo will be a reserved key feature to the M8 flagship only. Finally, HTC One (M8) mini is tipped to launch this May. This means we should get an official announcement should happen in the upcoming weeks.
