Sony Xperia C5 Ultra and Xperia M5 leak fully before official announcement

Sony had posted a teaser on Twitter about new Xperia device announcement on August 3. However, two Sony smartphones Xperia C5 Ultra and Xperia M5 have already leaked ahead of the official announcement via Russian website hi-tech.mail.ru that has published several images as well as preview of the said two handsets.

Although the article on the Russian website has since been removed, the images and specs of Xperia C5 Ultra and Xperia M5 are already circulating over the net. Both the smartphones have been photographed alongside each other. The details about the Sony Xperia C5 Ultra which was known earlier as Sony Lavender, have leaked earlier but the Xperia M5 has not been heard of before.

Let’s have a look at the specs of both the phones:

 Xperia C5 Ultra

The Xperia C5 Ultra is the bigger of the two and is quite imposing with its 6-inch display but attractive all the same. The 6-inch display has the resolution of 1080p and the handset has very thin 0.8mm bezels. Because of such thin bezels, it doesn’t appear much bigger than the iPhone 6 Plus which has a 5.5-inch screen.

Other specs include 1.7 GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6752 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage expandable with microSD card, 13MP cameras with LED flash at both rear and front sides and a 2930 mAh battery. The battery capacity seems a bit on the lower side looking to its display size.

The C5 Ultra will have dual-SIM support and NFC and will run Android Lollipop. It is expected to be priced at about 21k to 22k Rubles which comes to around 340 to 360 Dollars.

Xperia M5

The Xperia M5 is the smaller of the two but costlier, sporting a 5-inch 1080p IPS display. It looks like a low-cost sibling of the Xperia Z3+. It has the 2GHZ octa-core MediaTek Helio X10 processor, 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory expandable with microSD card and a 2600mAh battery.

The handset will have a 21MP rear camera with f/2.2aperture, fast auto focus, 5x digital zoom and 4K video recording. The front-facing camera would be 13MP. The Xperia M5 will probably have Sony’s new Exmor RS IMX230 sensor on board and be the device that can take “split-second photos” which Sony teased recently.

It will have a dual-SIM variant and will be IP68 certified for dust and water resistance. The cost of Xperia M5 would be about 24k to 25k Rubles which comes to around 390 to 405 Dollars.

Both the new smartphones Xperia C5 Ultra and Xperia M5 will come in two color variants – White and Black.

Samsung has traditionally been announcing its important new devices at its Unpacked events. So be ready to mark August 13th on your calendars. Samsung has officially confirmed that it is holding the new Unpacked 2015 event on this day in New York City and you will be able to see its “Next Big Things”.

Samsung hasn’t announced any details about the event or what new it would be showing us then.   But if rumors are to be believed, August 13 is the day when Samsung introduces two new devices Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. The invitation sent out by the company for the Unpacked 2015 event is given below. The image in the invite suggests that the new handset to be announced will be having a curved display so may be it hints at the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.

Here’s the first live photo of Samsung Galaxy Note 5 test dummy

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is reportedly to be unveiled by the company on August 12 and till now we have been treated to several rumors, leaks and speculations about the look, design, specs, CAD drawings and renderings giving us a pretty good idea about what the upcoming phablet is going to be like. New entrant on the scene is a live photo of the much awaited Galaxy Note 5.

Czech operators have allegedly got their hands on what they claim to be a Galaxy Note 5 test dummy and its picture has made its way to the internet. A test dummy or a testbed is a prototype of the particular device which carries the same internal specs and software which the actual device is going to have. Only thing is that although the final product will have almost the same specs and features, their external design is not the final design of the product.

That is the reason this photo of the alleged Galaxy Note 5 testbed shows a bulky box with sharp square corners, not at all like the elegant design which we have seen in the renders so far. The Note 5 will supposedly look somewhat like the Galaxy S6, made of metal and glass. Specs-wise, the handset is expected to feature a 5.7inch Super AMOLED display, a 7.9mm thick body, its own 64-bit Exynos 7422 SoC, a 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, a 4100mAh battery and the Android Lollipop operating system.

Traditionally, Samsung has been launching its new iteration of Note in early September at the IFA trade show in Berlin. However, this year the company is apparently planning to unveil the new Note 5 much before Apple launches its new iPhone probably in mid-September.

Below are some beautiful renderings of the Galaxy Note 5:

Galaxy Note 5 new renders show it featuring an auto-eject S Pen Stylus

As the launch date of Samsung’s upcoming phablet Galaxy Note 5 draws near, more and more renders and cases are surfacing. Just a few days back we saw some amazing case renders of the handset from the casemaker Verus. We now have some more gorgeous renderings of the Galaxy Note 5 and its cases by Ringke.

Another casemaker Rearth, who makes Ringke brand of phone cases and protectors has posted some renders and cases for the Note 5 on Amazon. These renderings look quite realistic, probably created on the basis of dimensions and drawings they might have got their hands on. The renders present some new information about the S Pen Stylus that will come with the device. Up till now, Samsung devices offered a Stylus that could be removed manually from its slot. New Ringke renders show that the upcoming Galaxy Note 5 handset may possibly have a Stylus with an auto-eject feature.

Some time back, Samsung had filed a patent for an auto-ejecting Stylus with the USPTO and it has also filed another patent recently for a new feature “write on PDF” that will allow you to write on a PDF document with the Stylus and save it as well. It seems that we may see these features in the new Note 5.

In the renders, the S Pen can be seen flush with the side surface of the handset and no way of pulling it out manually. This leads to speculation that the Stylus may have an auto-eject mechanism. However, it should be kept in mind that the renders may not be totally accurate and these features may or may not be present in the actual device when it is launched.

But the interesting fact is that the Ringke cases for the Galaxy Note 5 are up for pre-order on Amazon site at a huge discount, to be “in Stock” on October 30, 2015 with an estimated delivery date of November 2 – 4!

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 CAD Drawings Video Surfaces, also Some Concept Renders

After a few leaked images of cases for the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, we now have some CAD drawings in a video purporting to be those of the Note 5. Some concept renders of the device have also surfaced online.

@Onleaks has posted a video on Samsung Galaxy Note 5 CAD drawings on their Twitter account. They have a similar look like the Galaxy S6. In fact the leaks and rumors do suggest that the Note 5 will be similar in appearance to the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge though of course bigger than them as it is supposed to be a 5.7-inch or a 5.9-inch phablet. In the video, the Note 5 appears to have a sleek premium look.

You can check out the drawings and the video below:

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will apparently have a thin, sleek and smooth metal and glass body, unlike other Galaxy Note handsets which had a plastic body and were thicker. Given below are some concept renders of the Note 5 designed by Andrea Sanso who is famous for designing concept renders of various popular flagships. But it is worth remembering that these are just “concepts” based on design and features emerging through several rumors and leaks doing the rounds and the actual device may be turn out to be like them or may even totally be different.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is expected to be announced by Samsung in September along with Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.
