ZTE teases Axon 7 mini with dual-speaker for IFA event

While we already know that ZTE will unveil an audio-centric phone at this year's IFA conference in Berlin, the device might feature a dual-speaker setup like the big Axon 7.
Today the company released a teaser image that focuses on audio with a "2" over a stylized bookshelf speaker, which some of us took for a dual camera setup initially.

While roaming the IFA 2016 grounds as part of the press days we stumbled upon this huge poster hanging from the ceiling, which clearly showed the Axon 7 and Axon 7 mini, confirming that the petite flagship will be the centerpiece of the event (the big 7 is already official).

After a number of leaks, we have a good picture of what the the ZTE Axon 7 mini will be like. It can even be found already on pre-order in Germany though we would take the posted specs with a pinch of salt until ZTE confirms them officially.

Image
A mysterious HTC device with high-end specs made an appearance in the AnTuTu benchmark database. Carrying the model number 0PAJ3, the mysterious handset could be a successor to the HTC Butterfly S . HTC 0PAJ3 specs (click to enlarge) Listed specs of the HTC 0PAJ3 include Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC, Adreno 330 GPU, 2GB of RAM, 1080p display, and 16GB of built-in memory. The OS is Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Curiously, the yet to be revealed device appears to have a conventional 13MP main camera instead of the UltraPixel camera of the HTC One (M8). The front-facing snapper is a 5MP unit. There are no available announcement or availability details on the HTC 0PAJ3 for the time being. We hope it will not be a long wait before we get the full scoop on the device.

Future Nokias may have Carl Zeiss optics, but HMD is playing coy

Image
Long before Huawei partnered with a legendary German camera brand, Nokia put Carl Zeiss-branded lenses on its phones. A recent Tweet led people to believe that partnership will not carry over to the HMD-made phones, but now there’s a glimmer of hope. It turns out that was a mistake - the tweet only meant that the current Nokias (6, 5 and 3) do not have Zeiss optics, not that new phones definitely will not have them. Of course, that’s not the same as confirming that they will, even though the tweet ends with a tantalizing “stay tuned”. If Zeiss does partner up with Nokia/HMD, the first child of that union will likely be the upcoming powerhouse of a phone scheduled for June. Source | Via
