Samsung teases 'Premiere 2013' London event for June 20

Posted: 27 May 2013 04:50 AM PDT

New Galaxy and Ativ devices promised

The teaser image above has just hit the Samsung Mobile press site, bringing news of new Galaxy (Android) and Ativ (Windows) devices. "Samsung Premiere 2013" will take place on Thursday, June 20 at London's Earls Court Exhibition Center -- that's the same venue that hosted the Galaxy S3 reveal last year. The action's set to begin around 7pm local time, and Samsung will be livestreaming everything on YouTube.

The first of the three teaser images accompanying the news looks an awful lot like the Galaxy S4 Active we've seen leak in recent days. The other two are a bit less conspicuous -- there's what looks like the lid of a laptop, and some kind of glowing ring. It's possible (however unlikely) we could see more Windows Phone hardware from Samsung at the event. Our money's on new Ativ-branded Windows 8 tablets or laptops, though. On the Android side, we might see the extensively-leaked Galaxy S4 Mini debut alongside the Active.

What are you hoping to see from Samsung in London next month? Hit the comments and let us know!

Oppo Find 5 now available in Europe

Oppo Find 5

Prices start at €399 from the Oppo Europe store

Chinese smartphone manufacturer Oppo has opened its European online store today, and with it the Oppo Find 5 sees its European debut. Oppo's high-specced flagship smartphone sells at €399 with 16GB of storage or €429 with 32GB, and is available in white and 'midnight" color options. There's also a range of accessories on offer, including a protective cover, NFC tags, screen protectors and spare EU chargers.

The Oppo Find 5 packs a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 1080p display, a 13-megapixel camera and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, making it pretty good value for the asking price. In our review we praised the Find 5's specs and build quality, but found it somewhat uncomfortable to hold and use with just one hand.

The Oppo Style store seems to be buckling a little under the launch day pressure, but if you want to take a closer look at the Find 5, you can always check out our full review.
