Ever since the Sundar Pichai, Head of Chrome, took over Android, things have hinted that Google is moving more towards a Chrome centric future rather than an Android centric future. But as a turn of events, Sundar Pichai has announced that Google will be releasing an Android SDK for wearables in two weeks time.
Although he mentioned that Android SDK would be coming for wearables, there was no mention or no information about the rumored Google Smartwatch. Sundar Pichai spoke about Google at the broader wearable technology and he even hinted that a smart jacket powered by Android could be coming(although it could be a sarcastic joke).
Sundar Pichai had announced about the development during SXSW at Austin, Texas. According to a Google spokes person, there won't be a huge event when Google announces the SDK for wearable devices.
This is what Sundar Pichai had to tell about wearable tech - “When we say wearables we think about it much more broadly. It’s for partners and developers to figure out. It could be a jacket … with sensors — I don’t know.”
Sundar Pichai was also about how Google is planning to tackle Apple's CarPlay and Sundar Pichai hinted that their approach would be more ...

ZTE is currently one of the leading manufacturers of smartphones in the world, but the company is eagerly hoping to taste success outside its home country - China. ZTE had showcased its flagship smartphones at CES 2014 earlier this year and they are rumored to be working on ZTE Grand S EXT.
The rumored ZTE Grand S EXT has just leaked ahead of the official announcement. In terms of design, the ZTE Grand S EXT follows an industrial design with solid build quality. Based on the leaked image, you can find that the Grand S EXT has a curved back with very clean lines and a polished chamfer along the edge. According to the product description on the leaked site, Nano Molding Technology (NMT) is used to build the device and it is the first smartphone in 2014 to use NMT. NMT means that plastic and metal are injection molded together.
There are no details regarding the specifications of the device. ZTE should be probably announcing it very soon. We will let you know as soon as we have more information.

The All new HTC One has all but been completely revealed at this point in time, but till now, we have never been able to get solid information on how the dual camera setup is going to work. Well, this new leak, a Telstra brochure acquired by the good folks at GSMArena, might shed some light on the "Duo Camera" setup that HTC is going for, in its latest flagship device. We all know how the 4 MP UltraPixel camera underwhelmed us after the initial excitement, but HTC seems to have worked out a solution and then more with this implementation that retains the UltraPixel's advantages.
This is the complete brochure that has leaked, but the main take away here is this -
Duo Camera
Create vivid images even in low light and professionally edit memories after you've taken the shot. Choose where to focus, highlight what you love, soften backgrounds and add 3D effects.
Now lets try to figure out how it will work. First up, low light advantage is obviously the Ultrapixel camera's large pixel size that HTC mentions here, so it is safe to guess that the low light mode will exclusively use the UltraPixel camera.
