White Nexus 4 Smartphone Unofficially Outed By Online Listing

Google knows that a standard black Nexus 4 is a little boring for some, so it appears that it may have a white variation of the device on the way, thanks to a leaked listing online at theTalkTalk website. According to the listing, customers will have an option of getting a Nexus 7 – Nexus 4 bundle, but here’s the catch: the bundled Nexus 4 will be a white version of the smartphone, instead of the standard black. Considering Google has a history of releasing a white version of its other Nexus smartphones, it’s not too much of a surprise that there’s a white version of the smartphone on the way.

Customers interested in the device will have to wait a little while— the device is expected to be available from December 13th. So if you don’t mind waiting for Google to get its next batch of Nexus 4 shipments and would rather have a cooler color of the device instead, the upcoming white Nexus 4 may be worth the wait.

Android 4.1.2 Update For Samsung Galaxy Note Speculated To Feature TouchWiz Nature UI And Multi-Window, Video Surfaces Adding Further Speculation

As original Galaxy Note owners eagerly await the possible arrival of Jelly Bean 4.1.2 on their devices, we are now beginning to see signs of which custom features will be found in the update. Similar to the Galaxy Note II smartphone and the incoming Android 4.1.2 update due to for the Galaxy S III next month, the original Galaxy Note will include the awesome TouchWiz Nature UI and the multi-window feature, allowing for true multitasking and the ability to use multiple apps at once on the Galaxy Note.

To corroborate this news is the surfacing of not one, but two preliminary Jelly Bean builds being spotted in the wild for the Galaxy Note. The first build has a firmware version of N7000XXLS3 and is currently being tested at Samsung bringing not only the TouchWiz Nature UI and multi-window feature; the second build has a firmware version of N7000XXLS7 which not only highlights the same mentioned custom Sammy features, but actually has video footage of those features in action. Of course Sammy has stayed mum on whether or not this evidence is actually factual or not, but considering these builds are unlike anything we’ve ever seen before— we’re willing to bet that these are not only authentic— but that we’ll likely see the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 updates announced for the Galaxy Note sooner than later.
