A number of Sony Xperia Z3 images have recently been leaked online. Perhaps a bit unsurprising, the upcoming flagship looks very similar to the current one, Sony Xperia Z2.

Amazon is infamous for listing products well before their release dates are confirmed and in some case, even before the products themselves have been announced. This was the case with Mass Effect 4, a highly anticipated video game that wasn’t yet announced by developer Bioware. Now we also see the iPhone 6 making a surprise appearance on Amazon Japan even though Apple ...

Reports about the LG G Vista first started surfacing last month when images of the Verizon-branded device were leaked on a number of websites.
