According to new rumours, a new Huawei Watch is currently under development and the wearable will be aiming at a new target audience - the ladies.

Reports suggest the wearable design will be “rounder”, more elegant and coming in “feminine-looking” bands. Watch faces will also be designed to fit the female audience’s taste, don’t be surprised if the colour options are gold and rose gold which has been quite popular among the women. 

Xiaomi CEO, Lei Jun has made a humble appearance in the company’s forums, announcing to the fans that the Xiaomi Mi 5 won’t be released so early next year. The reason for delaying the Mi 5 is because they are waiting for the first wave of smartphones equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, which will be the latest chipset in the first quarter of 2016.

Just last month, we reported that the Nikon Corporation are developing a new professional FX-format D5 camera, and now we have a sneak peek on some new leaked photos online which you can see in this article.

It was also revealed that Nikon is also developing a new Wireless Transmitter WT-6 and Speedlight SB-5000, which could potentially be included in the new D5 camera. We should also expect a 4K video recording feature, 15fps shooting, 173 AF points, a native ISO of 102400 and a new 20MP FX sensor.

Apple is already looking far ahead beyond 2016, as according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, he has some statements on the future of the 3D Touch feature, the new Apple iPad Air 3,Apple iPhone 7, a new Apple Watch and a new 4-inch iPhone that could be the “iPhone 6c”.  

Firstly, Mr. Kuo predicts that the iPad Air 3 will be released in the first half of 2016. It could be in March together with the new “iPhone 6c” and the second generation Apple Watch, this is kind of unusual for Apple to do so as they would usually release new Apple products around every September or October. Another odd thing is that he said the new iPad Air 3 will not adopt the 3D Touch because of production issues. 

A Weibo user has found some goodies online revealing not one but 8 new leaked images of the HTC One X9. The device has been in the sea of rumours for quite some time now, but the tech specs certification by TENAA still remains the same from our previous report as well:-

So according to the Wall Street Journal, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are to be released early next year and will feature a pressure-sensitive display on their new device. If you think the feature sounds familiar, it is...because it’s basically like a 3D Touch from the Apple iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and the Huawei Mate S. 

If this is true, then the reason why Samsung is doing so is to compete with Apple next year. As you may be aware, rumours have it that Apple is planning the “iPhone 6c” along with the second generation of Apple Watch some time in March. Whereas Samsung could announce the new Galaxy series at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona around February.

Well well well, this is a surprise. Seems like the Samsung Galaxy A9(2016) will be joining the new 2016 Galaxy family in line with the Galaxy A3 (2016), A5 (2016) and A7 (2016). The device will be built fullmetal along with dual 2.5D glass panels, not forgetting some new pictures were released from a China website including the following tech specs:-
