The Chinese tech firm’s handset shipments surged 39 percent year-over-year in the fiscal quarter that ended in June, reaching 15.8 million; in contrast, it “only” delivered 14.5 million PCs over the same period. Nearly all the phones (13 million) went to the company’s homeland, where it’s well-known for both its budget devices and high-end flagships like the recently-launched Vibe Z2. Lenovo’s claim that it was the top Chinese phone maker during the quarter is up for dispute, however — estimates suggest thatXiaomi was the top dog by a significant margin.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Other divisions aren’t exactly hurting, either. Lenovo now has close to 20 percent of the worldwide computer market, and its tablet shipments grew a whopping 67 percent over the past year, to 2.3 million. That was enough to make Lenovo the third-largest tablet maker, behind Apple and Samsung. There’s no telling whether or not its forays into wearables and other newer categories will prove as successful, but it’s good to know thatMotorola’s future parent company is very healthy.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> [Image credit: AP Photo/Andy Wong]<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.techgool.com/lenovo-now-ships-smartphones/#.U-29UIpU0eM.blogger">Lenovo now ships more smartphones | TechGool</a>

Apple iPhone 6 Backplate Leaked? | TechGool

<br /><br /> <div style="background-color: #f3f3fb; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.571430206298828px; margin-bottom: 20px;">We might finally get a chance to take a peek at Apple’s iPhone 6 on the 9th of September. Until the device becomes official we can calm ourselves by shifting our focus to football or movies or online cat videos, or we can get more excited by following the various rumors and leaks related to the next-gen iPhone. And now a new leak has come to us from Sonny Dickson.</div><div style="background-color: #f3f3fb; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.571430206298828px; margin-bottom: 20px;">The new leak brings to us photos said to be that of the iPhone 6′s backplate. As you can see, there are cutouts for the camera (looks like it’s raised), circular True Tone flash, microphone, and the Apple logo. And there’s wear and tear all over the backplate.</div><div style="background-color: #f3f3fb; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.571430206298828px; margin-bottom: 20px;">The photos may or may not be fake, but the design matches with what we have seen in previous leaks. Maybe this is what we will be seeing at Apple’s event next month. What do you think?</div><a href="http://www.techgool.com/apple-iphone-6-backplate-leaked/#.U-22GYv4vVQ.blogger">Apple iPhone 6 Backplate Leaked? | TechGool</a>
