The LG Optimus G Pro comes loaded with features, and rocks a beautiful 5.5 inch display. Starting today, you can grab one online or in AT&T stores for $200 on a new two-year contract.

The device also features 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 CPU, 2GB of RAM, 13 megapixel camera, IR blaster for TV control.

This 5.7-inch device launched by BBK spin-off Vivo in Beijing just now goes one step further than its smaller X1 and X1S cousins by packing one extra audio chip and the OPA2604 operational amplifier.

Underneath the 500-nit LTPS display lies a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad-core SoC 1.7GHz, 2GB RAM and Adreno 320 graphics engine, 16GB or 32GB of built-in storage, 3,400mAh battery and NFC.

Most of ASUS Fonepad owners were probably already invited to a small, bug-fixing update, that should make the Fonepad more stable and speed-up few things here and there.

•     Bug fixes for game execution, e.g. NBA2k13, Space Hunter and LINE Homerun Battle Burst.
•     APN modification for carriers.
•     Optimized power consumption for music playing.

General director of Acer Russia went on record yesterday to say the Iconia W3 will get an official unveiling on June 4.

It’s unclear if the date refers to a local, Russia-only intro or a wider scale, global announcement, but the latter seems more likely, as the Acer W3 could actually be a big deal for Microsoft’s future in the tablet décor.

The 8.1-incher will come sporting a 1,280 x 800 pixels resolution display, dual-core 1.

According to recent rumors, the Galaxy Mega duo is apparently going to make its commercial European debut this week.

The white Mega 6.3 is to start selling two weeks from now, while the 5.8-incher will be up for grabs next week in white and sometime between June 17 and 23 in black.

According to latest rumors, HTC is prepping tablets (plural) with Windows on board for an unveiling in the fall and a release in time for the next holiday season.

Chances are the two will run an RT version of the next major Windows release, codenamed Blue, but this is all up in the air for now.

The spec sheets include several very intriguing features, like a Full HD panel, 2.

It seems that LG's flagship Optimus G Pro might just make its way to Sprint later this year in an upgraded mode, as a User Agent Profile on Sprint's website reveals a 1080p, Android 4.2.2 handset called the LS980, which lines up with AT&T's model number (E980) and also corroborates an earlier listing at the Bluetooth SIG.

It could be an upgraded Sprint G Pro variant, but the reference to a totally new chip has us thinking it could also be a full-fledged Optimus G sequel.

At the beginning of last week, we learned of a Huawei smartphone, model number P6-U06, by way of the TENAA in China, that could be the super-slim P series model a Huawei exec has been teasing all year.

Meanwhile the folks at NowhereElse have received what are thought to be some in-the-wild shots of the P6-U06, this time in black.
