Here’s a juicy morsel of semiconductor industry gossip (not a phrase I’ve ever written before) — Apple is planning a larger screen for its next-generation iPhone 5S, and the switch could lead to the flagship phone being delayed until the end of the year. Apple’s release schedule for its major gadgets is usually regular as …

Is a top-notch photo-blower the new must-have for every aspiring phone-maker? It certainly seems like it. Pics and other purported details have appeared online for Sony’s rumoured Xperia i1 camera phone, and as well as its whopping 20-megapixel camera, it looks to take on the likes of the Nokia Lumia 1020 and Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom with some serious speccage. …

HTC must be nearly ready to unveil the comprehensively leaked HTC One Mini — it’s paid tribute to ‘little things that pack a big punch’ in a quirky infographic on its corporate blog. The graphic shows tiny animals, people and cultural and scientific phenomena that punch above their weight, implying the Taiwanese company has something similarly mini-mighty up its sleeve. …

Pics of the thorougly rumoured HTC One Mini have popped up online, alongside screenshots that apparently confirm the specs of the metallic mobile’s scaled-down sibling.

The Lumia 1020 is Nokia’s most ambitious and exciting product since it started making Windows Phones. In a world of pretty damn samey Android blowers, it’s something laudably different. You can’t ignore that mahoosive megapixel count, but …

BlackBerry’s set to unveil a new flagship 5-inch touchscreen phone called the A10 later this year — and apparently it looks a lot like the Samsung Galaxy S4. That’s according to sources quoted by Boy Genius Report, which reckons the A10 is an effort to take on powerhouses like the S4 and HTC One, although it’s packing a mere dual-core …

It hardly seems worth having an event. Nokia’s new 41-megapixel Lumia 1020 camera phone has been so extensively teased by the company itself, and leaked all over the Internet, that we’d be extremely surprised if there were any surprises at this afternoon’s launch. Nevertheless, CNET will be there in New York with bells on from 3.45pm UK time. We’ll bring …

With a week to go before the Nokia Lumia 1020 comes into focus, a new leaked picture shows what the 41-megapixel camera phone will look like on US network AT&T. Nokia’s hotly rumoured super-camera phone appears in what looks like an official snap, the leak once again coming courtesy of well-connected Twitter-based rumourmonger evleaks.

The next major update to Google’s mobile operating system is coming soon, it appears, after screenshots of Android 4.3 running on a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition popped up online. The screenshots above, published by reliable Samsung gossip blog SamMobile, show Android 4.3 running on the Samsung GT-i9505G. That’s better known as the S4 Google Edition, the version of the …

Sony’s readying its own monster-megapixel photoblower, according to a new leak — a 20-megapixel camera phone called the Xperia i1. Brazilian gadget gossip site TechTudo bagged the above snap, which shows the white Xperia i1 sandwiched between the 6.4-inch Xperia Ultra Z and the 5-inch Xperia ZL (called the ZQ in Brazil).
