Samsung announces Galaxy S5 4G+ for Singapore


Samsung has announced a new variant of its flagship "Galaxy S5", the Galaxy S5 4G+, which will be launched in Singapore. The phone will be available on August 23 on SingTel's new LTE-A network, which is also launching on the same day.

The Galaxy S5 4G+ is mostly similar to the US model except for one major difference; this model runs on the Snapdragon 805 chipset, same as the Korean model. However, unlike the Korean model, the 4G+ does not have a QHD display but rather the same Full HD display from the US and international models.
The Galaxy S5 4G+ will be available in six different plans on SingTel, priced from $0 to $688 (Singapore Dollar).

New images show iPhone 6.


We have seen plenty of images of the rear shell and the front panel of the phone before but this is the first time someone put them together and photographed them. Assuming all the parts are authentic in design, this is pretty much what the iPhone 6 is going to look like.


The design harks back to the metal body of the very first iPhone launched back in 2007. The flat sides and chamfered edges of the current iPhone have been replaced by a simple curve, with the display fused at the top. The back is now one piece part and wraps around the sides, similar to the iPhone 3G, 3GS and the 5c. Except here it's metal.

This here seems to be the 4.7-inch model, but the 5.5-inch model will seemingly have the same design, only bigger.

Google and HP discussed making an enterprise Nexus device


According to report in The Information, Google and HP discussed making an enterprise-centric Nexus device. The two tech giants also talked over the past year about utilizing Google Now as a corporate tool.

Google and HP primarily discussed potentially making Google Now useful in a corporate environment. The search giant's creation would allow employees to easily lookup and access company information such as financial or inventory data.

Regarding the enterprise-centric Nexus device, HP envisioned a product with high-end hardware encryption. Google however, was allegedly not as enthusiastic as the hardware company on the subject.

A potential collaboration between the two companies would rival the recently announced strategic partnership between Apple and IBM. Talks between HP and Google however, have reportedly fallen through.
