The buzz pointing to fresh Galaxy S4 versions floated this week, further Samsung’s underway effort of unleashing a smartphone juggernaut to overwhelm its rivals, the Apple chief among them.

Good news for the millions who remain enamoured with the Galaxy S3. Samsung is set to dispatch an update file that will transform the year-old phone into a virtual Galaxy S4 clone, at least in functions and features.

Apple’s iPhone 6, in the eyes of DeviantArt designer Fishbertus, is very much an iPhone 5-like handset – bearing the same size and built but differing in its massive screen size, which literally occupies the phone’s front face.

Apple’s fifth-gen regular iPad is set to hit store shelves worldwide in September, a new report said, adding that full production of the 9.7-inch tablet is scheduled to commence by July with key design revisions.

Samsung is unleashing a barrage of devices to challenge Apple’s tablet supremacy, the latest of which is the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, according to a freshly-leaked image and specs.

Apple is rumoured to showcase fresh and powerful features in time for the September release date of its upcoming flagship, the iPhone 5S, with the muscles to further enhance once the phablet-size iPhone 6 rolls out on June 2014.

A Nexus-styled HTC One remains a high possibility, a new report said, sparking rumours that HTC is gearing to counter Samsung’s upcoming release of a Google-centric Galaxy S4.

Apple is aiming to rollout the new iPad Mini 2 and the iPad 5 between September and October this year, a new report said, adding that Asian contractors of the tech giant will commence production activities for the two tablets anytime soon.

On its rumoured release date, Apple’s iPad Mini 2 will display maximum sexiness in form-factor plus double the resolution density of its predecessor, creating a render that essentially is a shrunk iPad 4.

The upcoming iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S could feature advance device pairing that facilitates the capture of quality images and smart wireless payment that relies on predictive chips embedded with the gadgets.

Google announced this week that it will include the latest Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S4, to its hardware lines that run vanilla Android. Release date for the Nexus 5 rival is set June 26.

Samsung has opted again to deploy a dominantly plastic-wrapped Galaxy Note 3 on its rumoured Q3 2013 release date, the change of heart reportedly to avoid further delays on the phablet’s global rollout pegged for September.

Apple has silently overhauled the internal designs of the upcoming iPhone 5S and the tweaks would likely lead to the iOS 7 device being offered in multiple colour options on release date, a new report said.

Consumers buying the unlocked iPhone 5 are making a wise investment move, a new report said, amidst indications that the Apple flagship’s price mark is plummeting at an accelerating rate as the iPhone 5S release date nears.

To make up for the lack of hardware intros at this year’s I/O edition, Google announced that it will ride with the Galaxy S4 global release with a welcome twist. The tech giant will sell a Nexus-packaged GS4 via the Google Play Store on June 26.

Contrary to rumours, Google decided to keep the Nexus 7 2 under wraps but experts remain upbeat that the small tablet’s release date will come later this year, purportedly to slug it out with Apple’s iPad Mini 2.

Apple’s iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 release date has been set for September this year and the new iOS 7 tablet rollout is packed with vast improvements like Retina display panel and a faster A7 computing chip, a new report said.

Fingerprint sensor is coming to the iOS environment this year, set to be introduced via the upcoming iPhone 5S release date and the rumoured iPhone 6, which analysts said will likely rollout in mid-2014.

HTC One is already upon us and soon enough, Samsung will swing open the floodgates and attempt to fill the world with its new phablet offering – the Exynos-powered, 6-inch Galaxy Note 3.

Imagine manipulating your mobile devices by simple gestures like taps and scratches. These new features are possibly part of the cool packages to come with the iPhone 6, iPhone 5S, iPad Mini 2 and iPad 5 release dates set later this year.

Japan’s Sharp has reportedly struck a deal with Samsung that some analysts said could potentially disturb Apple’s supply chain and delay this year’s iPad Mini 2 and iPad 5 release date.

Apple is ditching the physical home button found on the iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 to boost durability on the gadgets’ release dates, a new feature that likely will be extended too to the iPad Mini 2 and iPad 5.

Samsung will reportedly begin building up its next-generation phablet, the Galaxy Note 3, on the last week of July, en route to a global release date that likely will take place between September and October.

Google traditionally gives away gadgets to attendees of its annual developers gathering. For 2013, the package could include a white Nexus 4 or even the rumoured Motorola X-Phone, new reports said.

Samsung Galaxy S4 has started rolling out and it is colliding head-on with the current Apple crowd darling – the iPhone 5.

Samsung has indicated that the Galaxy S4 Mini will commence its global circulation by July 2013 but a new set of leaked images pointed to the likelihood that the scaled-down flagship handset is programmed for an earlier release date.

The year 2013 is reserved for the iPhone 5S but Apple fans will have to wait a little longer for the iPhone 6, which at the moment is fixed for a June 2014 release date, a new report said.

Google is letting out its newest Android version later this May and in the months to follow, we’ll get to see Key Lime Pie or Jelly Bean 4.3 devices depending on what the internet search giant will unveil via the yearly I/O Developers Conference.
