There have been rumours of a metal-backed premium smarpthone from Samsung since forever, but new pics that have leaked online show that this may not be a rumour for much longer. Called the Samsung Galaxy F, the pics show a shape similar to the Samsung Galaxy S5 but sporting a black brushed metal backside, much like that of the LG G3. Other features include a heart rate monitor, fingerprint sensor and a 5.3-inch display with 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution. Other tech specs include a Snapdragon 805 processor, 16MP rear camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). No news yet on pricing but it is expected around September, around the same time as the Apple iPhone 6. Hopefully Samsung does not run into any supply problems as is often the case with new metal body smartphones.

It seems that Huawei may be preparing something even more premium than their Ascend P7 smartphone as images have leaked of an all-metal Huawei smartphone. The shiny metal back panel clearly shows the Huawei logo and an opening under the camera which appears to be for a fingerprint scanner or rear control of some sort. While this metal mystery Huawei smartphone is still unnamed, tech specs look to be very impressive as it may use the company's octa-core Kirin 920 processor, which has shown performance on par with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 and 805. It will also feature an ARM MAli T628 GPU, dual-channel DDR3 800MHz RAM memory, LTE connectivity and a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution screen along with a 32MP camera sensor. No news yet on Malaysia release dates or pricing but we expect it to come around September 2014 for $600 (RM1965) or so.

The Samsung Galaxy Beam was one of the first mobile devices to pack in a built-in pico projector, however, it didn't do very well perhaps because of not-so-good tech specs and a rather bulky plastic build. Recently, a smartphone that looks to be the Samsung Galaxy Beam 2 was registered in Tenaa, China's mobile device database under the SM-G3858 model number. While it doesn't really name itself as the Galaxy Beam 2, the bump on the top looks remarkably similar but rather than go for a plastic build, this smartphone offers a brushed metal backside. Tech specs for the SM-G3858 include a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, microSD support, 4.66-inch display with 800 x 480 pixel resolution along with Android 4.2.2. Measuring in at 11.6mm thick, it is still quite bulky but not as thick as the original Galaxy Beam which was 12.5mm. For now, it looks to be released in China first, with a possible global rollout and Malaysia release date sometime later in 2014. Stay tuned for more updates.

The first renders of the ZTE Grand S EXT have appeared on a design directory featuring a shiny metal backside. While the listing does mention a metal unibody, the renders reveal that it isn't completely metal as the metal backplate seems fused with a plastic layer. This is apparently achieved through a Nano Molding Technology which allows plastic and metal to be fused together while producing a tough unibody chassis. It also makes the Grand S EXT look more premium while cutting down on production costs compared to a fully metal unibody chassis. Other tech specs include the ability to charge wirelessly through a wireless charging dock but there aren't any other details like Malaysia release dates, pricing or other tech specs and features.

Current smartglasses like Google Glass offer an overlay version of Augmented Reality through an overlapping crystal display but it still is very far off from the computers in Minority Report and Ironman. Taking it a huge step further than all the other smartglasses is the Meta Pro which isn't just sleek and stylish, but also offers a full Augmented Reality platform beamed from a pocket computer. Instead of an overlapping crystal display, the Meta Pro glasses are the display with more than 15x the area than Google Glass. Coupled together with the Intel Core i5, 4GB RAM pocket computer, the entire Meta Pro system tracks your fingers and lets you interact with the Meta Augmented Reality platform. Currently available at $3000 (RM9772) and shipping in June 2014, the company making the Meta Pro already have a number of apps in the works with a developer's kit rolling out soon. Check out the video in this article or go to the Space Glasses site for more very cool information.

A metal frame for a smartphone has recently surfaced, and while it isn't an aluminum unibody, it could be the metal frame for the Samsung Galaxy S5. Measurements for the frame come up at 143.8 x 72.3mm which indicates that it could get a 5.3-inch display, matching up with the incremental screen size increase of previous versions. This leak comes courtesy of nowhereelse.fr, which is quite famous for mostly accurate leaked images and tech specs. However, certain aspects of the frame don't match with current features of the Samsung Galaxy S range. These include a corner camera placement as opposed to the standard center camera placement along with a 3.5mm audio jack on the bottom as opposed to standard practice where Samsung smartphones have the 3.5mm audio jack on the top. Then again, this could be a frame for the new premium Samsung Galaxy F line of smartphones. In any case, this is still very much a rumour, so do take it with a pinch of salt. No other tech specs, pricing or Malaysia release dates were available but the Samsung Galaxy S5 is said to come in January 2014.

It appears that the 2nd Nokia Lumia with a metal chassis may appear as the Nokia Lumia 929. Spotted recently in a video (which has since been taken down by Youtube), the video shows off a number of very tempting tech specs and features which include a 5-inch 1080p display along with a 20MP PureView camera. The Lumia 929 is expected to replace the Lumia 928 for Verizon, which could make it a Verizon-only model. No news on pricing or Malaysia release dates, but we'll keep you updated as to any new details so stay tuned.

Now this is by no means a new rumour, as rumours about a metal body Samsung smartphone have been around since before the Samsung Galaxy S4. What is new, is that the source seems to be coming from mostly South Korean Media who suggest that Samsung may finally be making this move with a premium Project F series of smartphones. These F series smartphones would have metal chassis, feature the latest 64-bit Samsung Exynos chipsets and have the latest Samsung technology such as the ISOCELL mobile camera technology. Tech specs for the smartphones include 4.5-inch to 5.5-inch screen sizes that may see flexible displays and 16MP cameras with optical image stabilization. So far, no other features or information such as Malaysia release dates or pricing are available but rumours indicate that we could see the Samsung Project F smartphones make an appearance in March 2014 which coincides with CES 2014.

While it isn't the first time rumours about a metal body Samsung device have come out, new rumours have popped up stating that the Samsung Galaxy S5 (and perhaps other Samsung models after it) may get a metal body or chassis. Despite the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S5 will likely be released in 2014 for Malaysia, reports are claiming that Samsung may start production on a metal body Samsung Galaxy S5 by the end of the year. According to these reports a sample has already been produced and is being tested in Vietnam. Other tech specs and features for the S5 include a 16MP camera with OIS. Personally, we think that this is just wishful thinking as Samsung have been rumoured to develop metal clad smartphones before and have always declined in fear that it may delay production. Samsung would more likely go for a kevlar casing or other material before metal and we haven't seen any of those just yet either, so take this rumour with a big pinch of salt.
