The Motorola X Phone seems to have been a long time coming; and it's still not here, emerging only as a spy shot as the handset is tested on the US network Sprint.

Running on the network's 4G network, the handset looks like a fairly standard Android affair, with the screen estimated to be around 4.7 inches.

Previous rumours have pegged its HD at 720p variety, with a 1.7GHz Snapdragon processor under the hood alongside 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage.

XT C

The pictured device is referred to as the Motorola XT1056, which Phone Arena's source says is indeed the X Phone.

This anonymous figure also added that the handset shown is running Android 4.2.2, has the rumoured 16GB of storage and reckons the screen is around 4.5 or 4.6 inches - not too far off the expected 4.7-inch affair.

The handset has been tipped for a launch "by October", although more recent rumours suggest that it could be unveiled as early as August 1.

Motorola and its step-daddy Google are keeping quiet until then; but we'll bring you the news as it's announced, whenever that may be.

We're just days away from the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini hitting shelves, and you'll be able to get your hands on it starting at £365.

The official Galaxy S4 Mini release date has been set as June 29, which is this Saturday, and Unlocked Mobiles has announced it will be offering it from then at the £365 price tag for SIM-only.

Phones4U, meanwhile, which has priced the phone a bit higher at £420, and won't be shipping preorders until Monday.

Price fight

Handtec, meanwhile, is offering the phone for £390. While Phones4U is pricing itself a little higher than the others, it's likely that it will bring it down in the near future.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini hosts a 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor with 1.5GB of RAM, a 4.3-inch AMOLED display, 8GB of Storage and an 8-megapixel camera.

The LG Optimus G2 hasn't been kept under wraps particularly well, and a quartet of new images appear to further enhance its chances of becoming reality.

These latest photos comes courtesy of @evleaks who received them from an anonymous tipster.

While we can't be sure of the source's credentials the people over at @evleaks seem pretty confident they're legit, and apart from showing a slender device with a relatively large screen, there's something interesting going on round back.

Touch me

On the rear of the Optimus G2 appears to be two buttons just below the camera lens, one with a plus and one with a minus on - with possibly the LED flash sandwiched in between.

The blurry shots seem to suggest that this is a new location for the volume rocker switch, which is a potentially more convenient place to have it - although that's very much up for debate.

According to previous rumours the LG Optimus G2 will pack a 5-inch, full HD display, 2.3GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 13MP camera which will really see it take the fight to the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One.

In terms of a LG Optimus G2 release date the Korean firm is expected to announce the handset on August 7 at an event it has planned in New York.

The Huawei Ascend W2 isn't exactly much of a secret after the wealth of leaks and speculation surrounding the handset and we now have our clearest sighting yet.

Apparently the Ascend W2 was found chilling out at Mobile Asia Expo 2012, complete with a full spec sheet and a third colour option, red, to go along with the previously leaked yellow and blue.

The details which accompanied the Ascend W2 at the show revealed that it's running a 1.4GHz dual-core processor and 512MB of RAM which is responsible for churning through Windows Phone 8 on the 4.3-inch WVGA display.

Low-cost WP8

There's also apparently 8GB of storage inside the handset which measures a reasonable 134 x 66.7 x 9.9 mm, and Huawei reckons its got a long lasting battery too.

According to the paraphernalia which was snapped at the Expo, the Ascend W2 is being touted as "the first low-cost smartphone with Windows Phone 8 for TD".

However the Nokia Lumia 520 and less-powerful Ascend W1 are both cheap WP8 devices, but the "for TD" part may refer to a specific frequency used in China which the other two handset may not currently support.

The Chinese firm is yet to officially announce the handset, but it's probably only a matter of time before we see the Huawei Ascend W2 confirmed.
