Verizon's Galaxy Nexus looks like it might finally benefit from an update from 4.1 Jelly Bean to the latest Android version. This device has been "unfairly" left out and it's been well over 5 months since the 4.2 Jelly Bean came out. Now, you might want to try a leaked ROM for your Galaxy Nexus that may possibly turn out to be just the thing you have been waiting for.

Also, please be reminded that this is not the final version of the ROM and it could be slow or buggy initially, but it really is bound to improve. Also, it should be flashed from stock software. Back up your phone if possible and flash at your own risk, since this will void your warranty and it could even kill your phone if done incorrectly. If you're too cautious and would not want to risk your phone, wait for the official OTA rollout, it probably won't take more than a couple of months if we're hearing constant news (or rumors) about a Galaxy Nexus update.

Details about the Galaxy Note III continue to surface, with the latest salvo coming from a Chinese website that even included a supposed picture of the device.

The website, MyDrivers, posted the picture seen here over the weekend and reported a number of specs about the phablet, including a 5.99-inch, full HD display, 3 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of onboard storage (expandable via microSD). The device will supposedly run Android OS 4.2.2 and will be powered by an eight-core Exynos 5410 Octa processor, with the Cortex A15 cores clocking in at 2.0 GHz and the Cortex A7 core at 1.7 GHz.

To recap, check out specs listed as follows:

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the latest flagship from the Korean firm. There are going to have four different versions in the Chinese market - Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9006, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9002, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9008 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9009. It does sound confusing due to the complexity of the numbers.

The leaked photos reveal that the dual-SIM Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will be powered by the Snapdragon 800 chipset, featuring four 2.3GHz Krat 400 cores and the Adreno 330 GPU. The beast was even subjected to an AnTuTu benchmark and the score came at the pretty impressive 31,276. That's still a bit short of the score of the regular Galaxy Note 3, but since neither version has its firmware finalized just yet, it's too early to draw any conclusions.

Besides the second SIM slot the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9002 should have no differences to the international Galaxy Note 3 version, carrying the same 5.7" 1080p screen, 13MP camera and running on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. It's unclear if it will be leaving the China borders, though.

SamMobile has just obtained a brand new Android 4.3 test firmware - N7100XXUEMK4 - for the Samsung Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100). This would not have been possible without the help of their insider.

The Android 4.3 update should be hitting the Samsung Galaxy Note II pretty shortly, but if you don't feel like waiting any longer you'd be interested to know that a leaked ROM is available for flashing right now. It's reportedly a build very close to the final ones, so it will have no trouble serving as a daily driver.

Here's the complete changelog:

• OpenGL 3.0 Support
• ANT+ Support
• Samsung KNOX Implementation (KNOX bootloader and dedicated application)
• Samsung Wallet comes pre-loaded
• Improved RAM management
• Improved Display colour reproduction (Display looks much sharper than before)
• Improved TouchWiz Launcher (Much less launcher redraws and less lag)
• New Samsung Keyboard
• New Samsung Browser (Full screen by default, new tab interface and more)
• New Reading Mode (Optimises display for reading, used by only a few specific applications)
• New Camera firmware
• Minor UI tweaks (Contacts app, Flashlight Widget, dialog boxes etc)

Could every leak that is "reported" be just a marketing ploy meant to stir market interest? Recently, information was intentionally leaked that March 27 will be a big day for T-Mo. According to the report, on that day, it will release the Samsung Galaxy SII LTE Exhibit and the Blackberry Z10 as well as the T-Mobile mobile hotspot that also supports LTE. 

Samsung Galaxy S III Exhibit is a faster version of its predecessor and it also features 4G capability and a better memory. Expect it to be released, possibly on the 27th or the following week. Nonetheless, fans of T-Mobile will surely be happy to hear that their carrier will support LTE-enabled devices and it will not happen in the FAR future.

There is also some talk about an iPhone launching on the last week of March but no additional information is available to support the speculations. Fans must further wait with bated breath...

To summarize, March 27th will be a big day for T-Mobile for phone releases

• T-Mobile Sonic 2.0 Mobile HotSpot LTE - March 27th
• Samsung T599 Galaxy Exhibit "Codina" Prepaid Pebble Gray - March 27th
• Samsung T999L Galaxy S III LTE - March 27th or April 3rd
• Samsung T599 Galaxy Exhibit "Codina" Postpaid - March 27th
• BlackBerry Z10 - March 27th

The beta version is apparently stable enough to operate like a daily driver, even though it could have a bug or two.

Regrettably a lot of the icons within this build continue to be while using old design and Samsung Knox isn't enabled. Which should alternation in the ultimate Android 4.3 ROM for that Universe S III, though, which means you don't need to bother about missing around the security feature.

You could tell whenever a Nokia phone is coming when @evleaks tweets about this. Today he's done exactly that using the approaching Lumia 525, a follow up towards the uber popular Lumia 520. We haven't seen a lot of photos from the Lumia 525 until these last couple of days. According to usual, the photo from @evleaks is really a press render from Nokia.

The press render provides for us a obvious look of the Lumia 525 design. It appears a little thinner compared to 520 with sharper curved edges. We are able to also observe that the red-colored, yellow, and whitened colors are glossy rather than the matte finish located on the 520. Rumored specs for that Lumia 525 incorporate a dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, along with a 5MP camera. It's also stated to possess a concentrate on music, but we're unsure what which means.

@evleaks also mentions this phone is going to be arriving 2013. If you are searching for a minimal-cost Home windows Phone device this is someone to watch out for this holidays.
