A handset going by the model number XT1055 has popped up on a benchmarking app, leading people to believe it could relate to the new Motorola flagship smartphone.

Spotted on the Antutu Android app by Japanese site Rbmen, the XT1055 apparently runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean while packing a juicy 1.7GHz quad-core processor.

The Motorola name isn't actually attached to the benchmark results, but the XT extension has been used by the now Google-owned manufacturer on previous handsets - the XT9825 is better known as the Razr HD, while the XT890 is the Intel-powered Razr i for example.

Born in the USA

According to the benchmark app the handset is question was tested in the States, although you should take all this with a pinch of salt as results can be faked.

There's been a lot of talk surrounding Motorola's next big handset, especially now it's owned by Google and talk of a "X Phone" seems to suggest we'll see something later in the year.

The annual Google IO conference takes place in a couple of weeks where there is a chance we'll see a new flagship smartphone bearing the search giant's brand there, but we're going to have to wait and see.

Manufacturers are finally getting their heads around the idea of updating devices to the latest version of Android as Jelly Bean overtakes Ice Cream Sandwich for the first time.

In the 14 days leading up to May 1 Jelly Bean found itself on 28.4 per cent of devices worldwide, while Android 4.0 accounted for 27.5 per cent.

However the firm leader is still the ageing Android Gingerbread platform - also known as Android 2.3 - which happily sits on 38.5 per cent of phones globally.

More blips!

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is set to be the most powerful smartphone in the world if the latest set of leaked specifications are to be believed.

Details of the supposed Galaxy Note 3 have appeared over at SamMobile, who claims that its "trusted inside sources" have let slip on some key specs - and the site does have a decent record when it comes to Samsung leaks.

According to the report the Galaxy Note 3 will arrive packing a punchy octa-core processor, eight-core GPU and a healthy 3GB of RAM.

It will also apparently run an upgraded version of Android Jelly Bean, the rumoured 4.3 update, which could appear at Google IO this month instead of Key Lime Pie.

My Note is bigger than your Note

The screen size debate continues to take numerous twists and turns and the latest suggestion is the Galaxy Note 3 will rock up with a 5.99-inch Full HD display, plus a 13MP camera round the back.

In terms of design the sources reckon the Note 3 will look similar to the Samsung Galaxy Mega, only with a thinner bezel.

We heard yesterday that Samsung was still mulling three different design options - one of them with a flexible display - so it doesn't seem to be cut and dry just yet.

When the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 was launched in September last year it took the crown as the world's most powerful smartphone and the Korean firm could well on track to repeat the trick this time around.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 launch is expected to take place towards the end of August/ the start of September to co-inside with IFA 2013 in Berlin, so keep your eyes peeled for then.

Unless you spend your life within a metre of a power socket or never actually use your iPhone, it's likely that at some point you'll get frustrated by your iPhone dying at an inconvenient moment.

We've come to love Mophie's battery cases, and often depend on them when away from power for a day. Now there's a version for the iPhone 5. Juice Pack Helium for iPhone 5's capacity is even a little higher than the iPhone 5's own battery at 1500mAh (a chunkier Juice Pack Air is also available, at 1700mAh), so you're almost doubling the life of your iPhone if you slip one of these cases on it.

Mophie gear has always been well made, but this is a real step up, even from its usual high build-quality. It really feels like a premium accessory, and the iPhone 5 is so slim and light that even adding the Juice Pack Helium's (not excessive) bulk, it still doesn't feel too bulbous.

There's one frustrating (though perhaps inevitable) design compromise. The headphone jack gets recessed inside a hole on the bottom edge of the unit. Although some headphones will still fit, Mophie supplies a short extender for those that don't. (There are some intriguing metal contacts on the bottom flanking the Micro-USB port through which you charge it; we've asked Mophie if this is for an easy docking system, but it's keeping schtum.)

Verdict

The Juice Pack Helium is expensive, but if you regularly find your iPhone 5 running out of power, we have to recommend it. It's well built, robust, light and looks great on your new iPhone.
