Apparently someone who had their hands on a final unit in white, took a picture of it laying a top a greasy laptop keyboard. The unit shown had Chinese software on it but looks just like another Chinese unit that was also leaked earlier last month.

What is different about this unit was that it was white. We’d only seen units with black faces so at least we now know that HTC plans to release a version of the phone with a white bezel, perhaps with a silver finish on the rear?

HTC also teased the phone’s performance, and camera(calling it “the best ever smartphone for shooting photos and videos) and finally, just today, HTC also teased the phone’s battery life.

Windows 10 Mobile Build 14310 Screenshots Show New Update Options

A new Windows 10 Mobile build is likely to be released by Microsoft in the coming days, but till then more information about the features that could be offered to insiders is emerging through unofficial sources.

              

Active Hours is an option that's not available in the current Windows 10 builds. It will allow users to choose the hours when they usually work on the device, so Windows Update can avoid restarting to complete installing new updates.

There's another option that allows users to select a custom restart time and which should supersede settings in active hours. The description of the feature by WinFuture said, "This option allows you to temporarily override active hours and schedule a custom time to finish installing this update. Make sure your device is plugged in at the scheduled time."

The reports about Active Hours first reached the web in late March. As it turned out, similar functionality is expected on all Windows 10 devices, including PCs and mobile devices, so the next build released to insiders might include it too.

Undoubtedly, this feature will be part of the Anniversary Update coming this summer, so for the moment Microsoft's only preparing to collect feedback to further develop it before the public launch.

Motorola Moto X3 With 5-Inch Display

The anticipated Motorola Moto X3 smartphone may just have shown up on import and export tracking site Zauba. A listing has appeared on the site for a Moto smartphone with Motorola Moto X3 naming, believed to be the next Moto X-series smartphone from Lenovo.

The listing further hints that the Moto X3 may feature a 5-inch display and support single-SIM. The Zauba listing shows that the units were shipped last month from the United States to India. According to the declared values, the Moto X3 is seen priced at Rs. 6,812. Though, to be noted is that import/ export website price listings are only declared values, and usually are not accurate reflections of actual market price. The listing was first spotted by Roland Quandt of Winfuture.de.
If the Zauba listing turns out to be true, then it is also the Moto X3 may be the first handset in thr Motorola lineup to sport the "Moto by Lenovo" branding. Considering that Lenovo has confirmed plans to overhaul the Moto brand to "Moto by Lenovo", the leaked Moto X3 smartphone is unlikely to done just Motorola branding. However, we will have to wait for the handset's unveiling to find out the new branding.
