Rumor: Apple iPhone 5 to have an 8 MP Camera

Apple has always followed a strict release cycle for almost all of its products. The iPhone, for example, has always been launched around June. The iPhone 4 was launched in June 2010, and the iPhone 5 was also expected to be launched in June this year, at WWDC 2011.

However, Apple has stated that WWDC 2011 will focus only on the future of iOS and Mac OS. Any hardware announcements, including the iPhone 5, seem unlikely in June.

According to rumors, Apple will probably start mass production of the iPhone 5 in September, with a subsequent release soon after, possibly before the end of 2011. Today, an analyst with Concord Securities has revealed more (rumored) details about the iPhone 5.

Apparently, the iPhone 5 will have an 8 MP camera and will be powered by the Apple A5 processor, the one in the iPad 2. It will also be switching to a Qualcomm baseband for both GSM and CDMA models. There will be an improved antenna, which was obviously needed after the whole Antennagate fiasco, but the design will more or less be the same as the iPhone 4, with minor modifications.

The report also states that we may see a small preview of the iPhone 5 at WWDC 2011, but I believe that the event will focus mostly on iOS 5 and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.

As far as predictions go, I also expect the iPhone 5 to have a larger 4 inch display, 1 GB RAM and 4G connectivity.

LG to Launch T-Mobile G-Slate on April 20

The Motorola Xoom is currently the only major Android tablet on the market which runs Android 3.0 Honeycomb. All the other Android tablets are either mediocre, or run Android 2.2 Froyo, which isn’t meant for tablets.

LG had announced the T-Mobile G-Slate at CES 2011, but it had just dropped off the radar after the initial announcement. It was spotted again at CTIA 2011, where we had done a quick hands-on of the Android tablet.

Today, TMONews has confirmed the official launch date for the T-Mobile G-Slate. The G-Slate will be launching on April 20, with the T-Mobile G2X and the Sidekick 4G.


The LG T-Mobile G-Slate comes with an 8.9 inch display with a 1 GHz dual core processor and 1 GB RAM. It is powered by the Nvidia Tegra 2 platform and comes with dual 5 MP cameras at the back for 3D video capture, and a 2 MP camera in the front for video calls. It offers 32 GB internal storage and is expected to be priced starting at $529.99. It offers Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity and comes with Android 3.0 Honeycomb.

Nokia’s C2-06 Touch And Type Slider Pictured

A device from the unconfirmed Nokia C2-series portfolio has made an appearance in the form of pictures. Showing off more touch-and-type functionality, the C2-06 is a low end feature phone likely to be aimed at emerging markets.

The C2-06 is reported to be pairing a resistive touch screen with a resolution of 320×240 to a portrait sliding 12 key number pad for input. The device runs Symbian S40 and has a 2 megapixel camera and loudspeaker grille on the back. From current pictures, the device lacks an LED flash but makes up for that with apparent dual SIM functionality.

In order to do this, 2 separate GSM radios would be required to keep both lines active at the same time. The C2-06 is said to be quad-band (850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz) and features a 1020mAH battery that is rated at 480 hours of standby time and 300 minutes of talk time.

There is a microUSB port for data transfer and charging, as well as a legacy 2mm Nokia barrel plug and 3.5mm headset jack on the top. The model lacks WiFi, 3G as well as GPS in order to reduce costs and allow for almost 20 days of battery standby. No pricing is available, but judging from the reduced feature set – it should be available off-contract for a very respectable price.

HTC Working on a 16 MP Windows Phone 7 Device?

Just when we thought that the megapixel wars were finally over, and that the manufacturers would now focus less on the megapixel count and more on the overall picture quality, HTC seems to be getting back to bumping up the megapixel counts on its phones.

A new leaked ad suggests that HTC is working on a 16 MP camera phone powered by Windows Phone 7. The current camera megapixel standard seems to be be 8 MP, with most new high end smartphones featuring 8 MP cameras. Nokia’s N8, which currently offers the best camera in smartphones, has a megapixel count of 12. The Altek Leo, a relatively unknown phone, has a 14 MP camera. A 16 MP camera would beat all the existing devices, at least in terms of image capture resolution.

The HTC device in the ad, which looks very similar to the HTC Desire S, will have a dual LED flash, and likely autofocus. No other details about the new device have been revealed yet. I hope that the HTC device doesn’t just top the current generation of phones in terms of megapixels, but also in terms of overall image capture quality.

For more details about the 16 MP HTC WP7 smartphone, head over to Pocketnow.

Here’s the leaked ad.
