The phone comes with a somewhat familiar unibody design (as shown in the countless leaks and videos posted right until today) , but unlike the previous generations , the design now has a two tone finish which offsets the metal wrap-around design .The back also has a giant cur out for the 20MP sensor - which is a huge step up over the 4MP ones used in different configurations over the past two years .  The front of the device is also a bit familiar , but its camera port is slightly larger as it now accommodates HTC's previously signature 4MP ultrapixel camera , the boomsound speakers are still present on the new device and so is HTC's staple  5" 1080p display panel .

Say hello to the new Huawei Watch , this gorgeous looking smart timepiece is Huawei's first Android wear device and oh man , what a looker it is . The watch as mentioned above runs Android's smartwatch platform so most of the internal hardware and the software apart for some Huawei watch faces are strictly regulated by Google so they are exactly the same as its android wear peers , but unlike the first generation square shaped Android watches , the new Huawei watch (this is its actual name by the way) features a circular watchface which puts it against the LG G watch R  thesomewhat round Moto 360, but unlike the other two , the Huawei watch probably looks better in my eyes as it looks like the real deal . Although the price of this Steel and sapphire glass equipped watch is still not available , we do have some confirmation from Huawei's press release that this watch will be available in 20 countries initially "Huawei Watch will be available in more than 20 count...

HTC's upcoming One M9 has leaked multiple times over the past few weeks , the phone , which is expected be unveiled later today has now leaked out in a video where it is compared to two of its older siblings - the One M7 and the One M8 . First off , the new M9 will definitely do away with the 4MP ultrapixel camera , this brings about the biggest change to the series as both previous versions used the 4MP sensor in different arrangements . . The second difference , as shown in this video is the design  , although all HTC one devices come with a aluminium finish , the M9 is said to have a Gold color trim around the sides in order to give it a two tone effect , the phone also follows a similar front design to the older M8 , but its front camera port is much larger as the 4MP ultrapixel camera is now added to the front of the device as the rear has a 20MP sensor with HTC 's two tone flash .HTC's One M9 is expected to launch today in roughly 20 hours (10 AM Eastern Time) Spe...
