Every company that rolls out smartphones ought to have flagship models that they can call their own, in order to be on par with the Joneses. Well, Pantech, one of the lesser known smartphone manufacturers from South Korea (after Samsung and LG, of course, considering how those two practically eclipse everyone else), does seem to have quite a beauty on their hands in the form of the Pantech Vega Iron which was spotted in the past, but here we are with actual photos of it (unofficial photos, of course).

It is safe to assume that this year, Apple will be releasing a new iPhone. Whether it will be a brand new iPhone 6, or if Apple will stick to the “S” theme and release a slightly improved iPhone 5S remains to be seen, but according to Brian White, an analyst from Topeka Capital Markets, he seems to think that the iPhone 5S will be launched this year with an interesting feature – a fingerprint scanner. This fingerprint scanner was previously rumored to be destined for the iPhone 5S. A later rumor suggested that this would not be the case and it would arrive on the iPhone 6 instead. We’re not sure what’s with the back and forth, but we guess we will need to see. Unsurprisingly White thinks that there will not be major changes made to the iPhone 5S.

There have been rumors of a low-cost iPhone making its way around the internet, and some believe that such a device will help Apple appeal to emerging markets where their competitors, such as Microsoft’s Windows Phone and Google’s Android, have the advantage with a wider range of affordable products. Whether such a device exists remains unknown, but according to Topeka Capital Markets’ analyst, Brian White, he believes that after speaking to suppliers and vendors, that Apple could be launching the alleged low-cost iPhone in July alongside the iPhone 5S.

ZTE has officially announced the GEEK smartphone. The handset was introduced during the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing, China. The key bit of detail here, this marks the first ZTE handset with Intel’s new 32nm Atom processor Z2580. Otherwise, aside from a name that we are enjoying, the handset has some average specs. By that, we mean some of the specs are half of what we are seeing on other current flagships.

Just to begin with though, the ZTE GEEK has launched with a 5-inch 1280 x 720 display, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. See what we
