Samsung Galaxy Tabs also appear with white version — looks nice

Posted: 15 Jan 2012 11:01 AM PST

We’ve been seeing a huge shift in Android lately with carriers offering white versions of smartphones. Mainly from Samsung with their all popular and famous Galaxy S II line and recently the Galaxy Nexus. Today we have a few images of the Samsung Galaxy Tablet both the 7″ and 10″ model sporting the color white.

Unlike the recently leaked white Galaxy Nexus the tablets are completely white — that includes the front bezel. Looking at the photos they actually look pretty decent and I wouldn’t mind owning one myself. Hopefully Apple doesn’t come after them for the color — but I don’t think you can patent a color (jokes) although that top picture does remind me of an iPad.

Originally the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1″ was launched with both white and black versions but this was only the part on the rear of the device. Now the entire front and bezel has been given the white-out treatment. No details on when these might come to the states or if they are different models has been mentioned. For now they’ve just been seen a few times in Vietnam according to our tipsters.

HTC Rezound Ice Cream Sandwich build leaks

Posted: 15 Jan 2012 10:41 AM PST

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is all the rage right now and we’ve been hoping to see it on as many devices as possible. While developers are busy working on ports it appears an extremely early official build for the HTC Rezound has leaked. This is only Android 4.0.1 and isn’t too stable, but it’s a start.

As mentioned above this leak is Android 4.0.1 Ice Cream and has a version of Sense UI 3.5 on board but that is about the only good points worth reporting. For the most part the build is pretty unstable and almost nothing works. This does however give developers a great place to start and we expect to see something come from this soon.

According to the thread over at RootzWiki there are a few different version floating around and we might be seeing a much better version leak soon, one that is also more stable. With something like this that isn’t stable we’d highly recommend you do a nandroid backup or make sure you’re able to restore to original as this isn’t a daily driver ROM. Proceed with caution or else you’ll have a not so functional phone.

Galaxy Nexus snow white version spotted in the wild

Posted: 15 Jan 2012 10:18 AM PST

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen or heard about the white version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but this time it’s not just a rendered press image or posted up on a retailer website. Instead we are seeing live hands-on images of the phone. I know many don’t like the idea of a white phone but just check out the pictures.

Most phones or tablets that have been given the white treatment are actually completely white — that includes the entire front bezel and this is a reason many do, and don’t like the idea. What Samsung has done with the Galaxy Nexus is made the entire device white except for the front.

The entire back and sides are snow white but they’ve left the frontal face completely the same with the black bezel around that huge and vivid 4.65″ Super AMOLED display. Everything else remains the same from this awesome flagship smartphone running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich — only now it’s a purdy white color.

Thanks to AndroidHD we now have actual images of this yet unreleased phone. An entire white phone doesn’t fully appeal to me but this actually looks quite nice. Check out the gallery below and more are available vai the source for those interested.
