First details of next gen LG Vu leak Aug 13th 2013, 20:04, by Dima Aryeh The LG Optimus Vu was a strange device. With a 5-inch display, it wasn’t considered too big in the traditional sense. But that display had a very strange aspect ratio: 4:3, 1024 x 768. The phone was extremely wide and uncomfortable to hold or carry. But, that extra width made reading much easier. The device also came with an unattached stylus, making portability impractical. We can’t imagine that the device was very successful, but LG ended did make a sequel and released it in Korea. When the LG G2 was announced, a new LG Vu was hinted at, sans the Optimus branding LG has dropped. Today, a few details about the new device have been leaked. It is said that the successor to the square phone will have a 5.2-inch display with a 1280x  960 resolution, making it even larger and probably much harder to hold. And though the resolution got a bump, it’s still not quite “high-end” 1080p. The camera is said to be 13MP. The device should launch with Android 4.2.2. Rumor has it that the device will launch before the end of September in South Korea, so it’s only a matter of weeks. LG seems to have kept the specs on this one a secret, unlike the company did with the G2. I doubt that the Vu would be popular in the US, if it’s ever released here. But I may be wrong, and people may warm up to such a device. The Dell Streak was ahead of its time, and this phone may be on the same path. Would you buy and use a new LG Vu? Leave a comment! Verizon sign-up page for HTC One, no release date in sight Aug 13th 2013, 19:16, by Dima Aryeh The HTC One has been available in US markets for four months now. Three major carriers are selling it; all but Verizon customers are able to enjoy its metal goodness. And with a full aluminum body, dual front facing speakers and an Ultrapixel camera, there is plenty to enjoy. Sadly, Verizon customers have been teased to no end without any sign of hope aside from the occasional rumor. At first, the Verizon HTC One was outright denied. Then, rumored Verizon relates dates started flying, most of which have passed. Now, four months after the US launch, things were looking bleak. Until today. Verizon  has finally released a sign-up page on its site for more information about the Verizon HTC One. This means a launch is coming soon! The site also provided a photo of the HTC One for Verizon, complete with carrier logos. And while Verizon usually destroys phones with its branding, the One branding is actually quite nice. The two Verizon logos are located on the bottom of the back, with no large logos in the middle and nothing messing up that clean front. If you’re still interested in the Verizon HTC One after four months of waiting, hit the source link and sign up. More info will be sent to you when it becomes available. And be sure to stay tuned to Android and Me for more updates!
