- Galaxy Nexus coming to Sprint’s LTE network? This ad says so.
See that? That’s a Galaxy Nexus… for Sprint. The Android 4.0 handset — only available in an unlocked HSPA+ form and on Verizon Wireless‘ airwaves today — is currently being pimped in an official Sprint ad over on CNET, and it’s probably no coincidence that it’s live just moments after CEO Dan Hesse talked up the carrier’s first LTE markets. Crazily enough, we had a similar situation a few years back at CES, where the Palm Pre actually emerged here on our own ads prior to the handset being properly revealed. We’ve reached out to Sprint and will be updating this post as we learn more, but here’s what’s true should the ad prove legitimate:
We’re looking at a familiar 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED display, Android 4.0, a 1080p movie mode, front and rear cameras, and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. For those keeping count, that’s 300MHz more powerful than the 1.2GHz chip in the HSPA+ and VZW models. If you’re going to launch an LTE network, might as well snag a phone like this, right? Maybe. What’s strange is that the first LTE markets for Sprint won’t light up until the middle of the year, at which point the device beaming above will likely be old news. Curious, indeed.
[Thanks, James]

The second round of Google TV hardware will be in full swing at CES 2012, and the folks at Mountain View just officially announced LG is joining the list of hardware partners at the show.

- Corning to show off Gorilla Glass 2 at CES 2012
Gorilla Glass is tough, real tough. And it’s got a solid reputation as a durable screen for small and large displays alike. But by no means is it perfect, and Corning has been hard at work to make the product’s sequel even better. We’re pretty dry on the details so far, but Corning SVP / GM James Steiner mentioned that his company’s positioned to meet the challenge of accommodating phones and tablets with more functionality from thinner designs. We’ll find out a lot more information about the latest version of the glass in an announcement this coming Monday at CES, so stay tuned as we find out the juicy tidbits.Continue reading Corning to show off Gorilla Glass 2 at CES 2012

Rumor: Samsung is working on triple-folding tablet for next year
Initial reports claimed that Samsung’s first dual foldable will arrive this year. However, GizmoChina and leakster Yogesh contradict this info, saying that the actual launch will take place in the first three months of 2022. The more interesting bit of this leak is that the device in question will be Samsung’s first foldable tablet – Galaxy Z Fold Tab. Devices like the Galaxy Z Fold2 already blur the line with tablets with its 7.6” display, but the Tab will be even bigger. It makes sense that a triple foldable will be a tablet. Current models are already on the large side even when...
Motorola teases Moto G60 and Moto G40 Fusion key features
Motorola has been teasing the Moto G60 and Moto G40 Fusion on its Instagram profile, and today it has finally revealed some of the key specs of the duo. The two new smartphones share a Snapdragon 732G chipset and a massive 6.8” screen with HDR10 support and 120Hz refresh rate.

The other two members of the triple-cam setups on the back are identical and so is the selfie camera inside a punch hole at the front. The...
Apple iPhone 13 in Product Red appears in renders
While we’re still a good 5-6 months away from Apple’s next iPhone reveal, rumors about the iPhone 13 have already begun circulating and now leakster David Kowalski (@xleaks7) has teamed up with Coverpigtou.it to share CAD-based renders of the Product Red iPhone 13.
