Sony is preparing successors for last year's Xperia E and E dual. The Xperia E1 and Xperia E1 dual has cleared FCC, as spotted by Xperia Blog. Codenames of upcoming Sony smartphones - D200X (D2004, D2005) and D210X (D2104, D2105) appeared online recently, and these upcoming Xperia smartphones have codes names Falcon SS (D200X) and Falcon DS (D210X), respectively, as mentioned on the FCC.
We don't have specifications or image of these devices yet since Sony has tightened their security since the last Xperia Z1 leak. Hope these smartphones would have a larger high-res display, a faster processor and run on Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) out of the box compared to Xperia E and E dual. Sony confirmed in their recent blog post that the Xperia Z1 would be their flagship smartphone even this year, so we can't expect any high-end smartphones this year on-par with the Z1.
Sony will continue to use OmniBalance design in their devices even in 2014 and would also try new form factors including some wearables. Hope Sony would unveil new Xperia smartphones at the CES 2014 next week.

Last year this time, we were hearing leaked specifications and rumors about HTC's then flagship - HTC One which was known in the rumor mill as HTC M7. Today, we find ourselves in a similar position as rumors about HTC's next flagship start coming in and HTC's next flagship is reportedly codenamed HTC M8.
Rumors were floating around the HTC M8 will feature a 5inch 1080p display, Snapdragon 800 and UltraPixel camera. These rumors are close to real as popular twitter leakster @evleaks has tweeted the specifications of HTC M8. According to the tweet, the specifications of M8 are
Snapdragon 800
5inch Full HD 1080p display
2GB RAM
UltraPixel rear camera
2.1MP front camera
802.11a/b/g/n/ac
Android 4.4 KitKat
Sense 6.0
Going by the specifications, there isn't much change from the previous flagship - HTC One. The processor has been upgraded and the screen size has become big while the software is just relatively newer(the older version is expected to get KitKat very soon). The supposedly leaked photos of HTC M8 suggest that the design language won't be much different from the current flagship. So if this is indeed the specifications of the next generation HTC flagship, it will have a tough time to compete against Samsung's Galaxy S5 which is ...

Samsung is known to announce its flagships in a its own event, but looks like things are about to change for the South Korean electronics giant. Samsung's VP has stated that the company's new flagship - Samsung Galaxy S5 will be announced during MWC 2014 that is scheduled in February.
As reported by Korean Media, at a New Year's Party event in Shilla Hotel in Seoul, Samsung's VP and Head of Design Strategy, Dong-hoon Chang has said that the rumors that Galaxy S5 will be unveiled at MWC 2014 were just about right. To fuel further speculations about Samsung launching two premium flagships in the first of the year - Mr. Chang mentioned that the company is excited about the materials used for Samsung Galaxy S5. We are inclined to believe that he could have been referring to the Samsung Galaxy F series that is expected to complement the S series, but with better and premium build quality.
Since none of this is an official report, we continue to remain skeptical as to whether Samsung will indeed unveil their next flagship(or flagships) during the MWC. Since the VP has said it could be about right, may be he could have given a ...
