White Nexus 4 breaks cover again — will we see it at Google I/O?
Ever since the Nexus 4 launched in November we’ve wondered whether or not Google would ever introduce a white color option. Rumors suggested one was in the works, with leaks from retailers and carriers tipping us off to its existence. Six months later and we still haven’t the slightest idea of where it is, but it is still floating around and has reared its beautiful head again.
Google+ user Ervin Sue bravely posted pictures of the pearly-white Nexus 4 online, and we were given a bit of context. The user used the hashtags #io13 and #io, suggesting Google might be bringing this thing to San Francisco with them. From what we can tell from the images, only the rear and sides of the device will be white — the front will still sport a black bezel. A couple of different possibilities exist.
The first is that this could be a special edition of the Nexus 4 that Google might give away to I/O attendees. If you haven’t realized it by now, Google has not yet had an opportunity to give the latest Nexus phone away. It wouldn’t be the first time I/O attendees got a special edition device in white — those who attended I/O in 2011 got the Samsung Galaxy Tab in white with limited edition Bugdroid print on the back.
Google could also be announcing the product for general availability, which wouldn’t rule out the aforementioned possibility. Regardless, it’s possible we’ll see the white Nexus 4 in one way or another very soon, and it could happen as early as this Wednesday.

     Just when you thought display technology could hardly get any better, along come quantum dots, making screens more colorful while consuming less power This is not just some pie-in-the-sky dream of scientists and geeks. Nanosys and 3M have put this  Star Trek -like tech to work, and it's gone way beyond the experimental stage, to where it's now almost ready to be built into smartphones, tablets and TVs. The two companies said in a  press release  they'll have samples available to manufacturers by the "late second quarter of this year," which means companies interested in using this technology in their screens might be getting their hands on it within five weeks or so.

Facebook to introduce emoticon reactions

Nothing is as famous a reaction like the "like"  👍 button of facebook  According to  Engadget ES   post from Thursday  facebook to add new range of reactions emoji. this update rolls out first for spain and Ireland as testing phase, the reactions set created by engadget does not include thumbs down as reaction, my guessing is thumbs down alone doesn't justify much to a reaction instead there's an angry, sad face in the list.         This should prove to be a major update on how people express empathy.

Samsung developing 5G technology, hopes to hit 1 gigabit speeds by 2020

Samsung developing 5G technology, hopes to hit 1 gigabit speeds by 2020 Samsung, one of the mobile industry’s biggest players in network and infrastructure, has revealed that it has started work in developing 5G data technology. While a standard for “5G” doesn’t exactly exist, we would naturally expect it to be a vast evolution from what we know to be 4G right now. Even though  4G didn’t quite start off as 4G , the standards were tweaked to allow carriers to claim as much. Indeed, the speeds we get now far surpass what 3G afforded us, giving us double digit downstream numbers (in megabits) compared to the single digits 3G (HSPA+ not withstanding) was capable of. We can’t even imagine what the next plateau for mobile data speeds will be, but Samsung believes it can deliver throughput speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second to a device by the end of the year 2020, with a single sub-station able to handle 10 gigabits of bandwidth. We’re not sure if said numbers would hold up after
