Unannounced Motorola Android phone surfaces, isn't the fabled 'X phone' (video)

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Unannounced Motorola Android phone surfaces, isn't the fabled 'X phone' video" data-src-height="413" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/motorolaxt912a.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The fine folks at <i>Tinhte</i> have gotten their mitts on a Motorola-made Android phone that hasn't made its official debut. Right out of the gate, the outlet notes that it's not the rumored "X phone" since it's missing a large, stunning screen that would rival other flagship gear, but the specs still give it a fair amount of horsepower. Behind the device's roughly 4-inch 720p screen hide a Snapdragon S4 Pro (or better), an Adreno 320 GPU, 2GB of RAM and a 2,000mAh battery. On the outside, the smartphone sports a curved back reminiscent of the HTC One, a black finish and a thin bezel framing its display. <i>Tinhte</i> reports that the handset carries a XT912A model number, so we reckon it could be a cousin of the Droid RAZR, which is labeled as the XT912.

Alleged Google Now for iOS video leaks on YouTube, is promptly pulled

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Alleged Google Now for iOS video leaks on YouTube, is promptly pulled" data-src-height="336" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/3-11-2013googlenowios.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">iOS fans jealous of Jelly Bean's creepy Google Now might finally have something to get excited about. An October update to the Google Search app finally delivered an updated voice recognition experience to Apple's platform, but sadly alerts and contextual cards of data were nowhere to be seen. Of course, Mountain View has never been one to keep its wares to a single platform, and many expect that it's only a matter of time before Now makes its proper debut on iOS. Those that like to dip their toes in both ponds might be interested in a video brought to our attention by a tipster earlier today. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The clip, embedded after the break, is allegedly a low resolution version of a promotional video for Google Now on iPhone and iPad. The video has since been pulled from YouTube and appears to feature the same voice actress as the original Now announcement (which you'll also find after the break for comparison). Supposedly, Now will be accessible in an upcoming iOS app update simply by swiping up from the main screen. Of course, there's always the chance that is an impressive fake or even a canceled project that's only being leaked now. We've reached out to Google for comment, but even if the search giant remains silent, we're confident the truth will be known soon enough.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pPqliPzHYyc?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>

Lenovo S920 and S820 leak, could pack Android 4.2.1, quad-core CPUs and dual-SIM slots

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Lenovo's S920 and S820 leak out in blurrycam shots, could pack Android Jelly Bean, quadcore CPUs and dualSIM slots" data-src-height="374" data-src-width="600" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/lenovoandroidjb.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Lenovo's still far from a boldfaced name when it comes to Android smartphones. Its Clover Trail+-packing K900 aside, the company's mobile focus tends to skew towards the lower-end. And so it seems the company's prepping two new Jelly Bean handsets for the Asian market, the purported S920 and S820, judging by a few leaked blurrycam shots over on <i>MyDrivers.com</i>. From what we can see, the devices appear to share a similar slim, rounded edge design language with a rear-facing camera protruding prominently on back. According to the rumored specs, both are tipped to rely on MediaTek's quad-core Cortex-A7 SoC, include dual-SIM support and run Android 4.2.1 (skinned, of course). It's not clear what resolution Lenovo has in store for the phones, but if the S920's 5.3-inch screen size proves true, it's likely to be of the 720p variety. The S820 is more of an unknown, but the Chinese site maintains it's meant for a more fashionable, female demo. Here's to hoping it launches with a charm dongle. Remember that?</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><h2><a href="http://gdgt.com/google/android/4-1/" itemprop="url" target="_blank">Google <b>Android 4.1</b></a></h2></div>

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 spotted at MWC, almost hides your entire hand

Spotted by an anonymous tipster on the MWC show floor earlier today, the booth shows off said tablet designed with portrait usage in mind, meaning it'll pretty much cover up most of whichever hand you'll be holding it with. And obviously, the Note 8.0 comes with a stylus as well. There's not much more to share at this point, but we'll be seeing this new device in its full glory very soon, so stay tuned. One more shot after the break.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><b>Update:</b> The folks over at <i>Beste Product</i> caught a few models posing with the Galaxy Note 8.0 for Samsung's photographer.

Sony Alpha A58, NEX-3N press images possibly caught making the rounds

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" dir="ltr" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="350" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/sony-alpha-a58-leak.jpg" width="640" /> </div><div class="separator" dir="ltr" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> We've already seen hints that Sony wants to rejuvenate its entry-level interchangeable lens cameras. Purported press images snagged by <em>Digicam Info</em>, however, support talk what could be an evolutionary yet meaningful refresh. The Alpha A58 you see above appears to only have minor ergonomic tweaks, but introduces a truly standard hot shoe and a new 18-55mm, f/3.5-5.6 II kit lens. The sighting backs earlier <em>Sony Alpha Rumors</em> claims, which also had the A58 carrying a roughly 20-megapixel sensor. A second set of pictures from <em>DI</em> (an example of which is after the break) also validates a previous live leak of the NEX-3N mirrorless cam, whose centerpiece is still its motorized zoom control. Neither Sony camera has a leaked release date, although the increasing flow of details suggests there isn't much more of a wait.</div><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Sony Alpha A58, NEX3N press images possibly caught making the rounds" data-src-height="255" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/sony-nex-3n-press-leak-1361164565.jpg" /></div><div class="separator" dir="ltr" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div>

HP web store leaks 14-inch Chromebook Pavilion, to be unveiled on February 17

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="HP crafting 14inch Chromebook Pavilion, to be unveiled on February 17" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/hppavilion620x340cbook2.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Hewlett-Packard didn't have the best 2012, but that's not stopping the US company from getting on the Chromebook bandwagon. The HP Chromebook Pavilion was spotted by <em>Slashgear</em> on HP's own web store, despite the additional information section noting a February 17 "ad embargo" on the information. The little 14-inch Chromebook runs Google's eponymous OS with an Intel Celeron 847 CPU clocked at 1.1GHz, an Intel HD GPU, 2GB of DDR3 SDRAM (expandable up to 4GB), and 16GB of SSD storage space, put to use on the 14-inch HD BrightView LED-backlit display (1366 x 768 resolution). A trio of old-school USB 2.0 slots an HDMI out, and an ethernet jack make up the lion's share of ports, while an SD card slot adds expandable storage options. The 2.55Ah lithium-ion battery included will last up to (approximately) four hours and 15 minutes, though we'd like to put that to the test ourselves before trusting the specs sheet. Of course, it looks like it won't be too long before we hear more and get our hands on the device, given that Feb. 17th date.</div></div>

Gas leak proves fatal at Samsung chip plant in Korea

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto;" /> <div class="copy post-body" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Gas leaks proves fatal at Samsung chip plant in Korea" data-src-height="408" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/samsung-chip-plant.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> A maintenance contractor called out to fix a hydrofluoric acid leak at a Samsung plant has died in hospital, according to Korean media. Four others were injured by the lethal gas but have reportedly been discharged. The factory in question is located within South Korea, which isn't known for the sort of lax safety standards that plague workers in China, but <em>AsiaE</em> reports that the accident will nevertheless be investigated to find out if any laws were breached in the way the leak was handled, and if the killed contractor was wearing the right protective gear. For the sake of context, it's worth remembering that even state-of-the-art installations can be prone to accidents -- in 2011, for example, seven American workers were injured in an explosion at Intel's semiconductor fab in Arizona.</div></div></div>

BlackBerry Z10 priced at £480 SIM-free by purported Carphone Warehouse database leak (update)

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr /> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="BlackBerry Z10 purportedly hits Carphone Warehouse database, 480 unlocked" data-src-height="266" data-src-width="616" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/47-am.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> With all the BlackBerry 10 leaks as of late, it seems inevitable that pricing info would get ousted in the lead up to January 30th. Thanks to an anonymous tipster, it appears that the SIM-free version of RIM's Z10 will cost UKers a cool £480 at Carphone Warehouse (for perspective, a 16GB iPhone 5 would run you just roughly £30 more). The leak comes from what's said to be a snapshot of the company's internal database, listing the white variant. The attached BLAZ10WHI model number also syncs up nicely with the previous slip from the retailer. At this rate, not much is going to be left to the imagination when RIM officially unveils its devices come Wednesday -- who likes surprises anyway, right?</div><div style="text-align: left;"> <strong>Update:</strong> We've updated the post to reflect that the phone was touted to us as "SIM-free," specifically.</div></div>
