this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by lynda.com what's up everyone welcome back their pursuit of rumor roundup I'm your host John Rangers to show we take all the tons of Tecla from the week and I condensed them into the three or four that I think are the most exciting or most outrageous of this week though we got four that I think are pretty possible the HTC one follow-up is coming very quickly supposedly the iPhone 6 is gonna get a little more junk in the trunk and get a little bit bigger unlocked phones could be getting way cheaper if Motorola's anything to say about it and that the galaxy s5 could be coming very very soon this rumor roundup let's start rounded things up let's start with the follow-up to my favorite phone of 2013 HTC One although I kind of hope they call it the HTC 2 we're hearing it's gonna be called just the HTC One again so according to a leaked case design by sunny Dixon we're seeing a couple new things so the case first featured larger cutouts that was standard in last year's HTC One we're guessing probably where the cameras gonna sit along with two more unexplained holes to the top of the device so we're not really sure what those holes could represent but the obvious and probably most logical bets are either a small fingerprint scanner where a speaker or just maybe one from microphone who knows but HTC has been toying with the idea of a fingerprint scanner we saw in the back of the HTC One max it would make sense that technology would follow over the HTC One sequel if I were you I would wait to pick up HTC One I'd expect to hear something a next four to five weeks especially with Mobile World Congress coming up from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5 it got a little bit bigger in this green department and it's looking like that trends and it continued from the iPhone 5 to the iPhone 6 so first I know analysts like to say some crazy things like that uncle that can go over for Thanksgiving and as a few too many drinks and just sort of spouting things off but any recent investors note Cowan and company's very own Timothy a query claims the iPhone 6 is going to feature a wait for it four point eight inch display so he's not just making us up allegedly as climis got sources inside of Apple supply chain so sizes and always claiming he's also predicting they were going to use new services like ibeacon and touch ID along with passbook to push mobile payments which would lend some credence to perhaps NFC finally coming on board to the iPhone world so my estimation Motorola has been on a freakin tear when it comes to marrying prices with devices the Moto G and the Moto X both absolutely nailed it and most the TechnoBuffalo staff named the Moto X a device of the year in an interview with trusted review CEO Dennis Woodside said they're gonna get a little more awesome they're gonna release a $50 unlocked unsubsidized handset in the future which is friggin crazy that's not all you also T's moto maker upgrades that aren't just cosmetic such as two-color I'm talking screen size processor battery life and all kinds of other crazy things that we heard initially rumored wouldn't make her first launch the spending on did 79 bucks on a new smartphone might sound like a pretty sweet deal but would side notes that for plenty of people around the world that's still a butt ton of money that wasn't a quote he actually used the word ass ton he didn't really don't really he said it was why can't devices be $50 so there's no reason that can't happen so we're going to push for that and that was an exact quote supposedly the galaxy s5 is coming very very very soon so the latest galaxy s5 rumors come from elzar Mortes ian technology journalist who is pretty well known for leaking his own mobile news himself occasionally we're tasing even goes as far to predict the exact time and place of the launch claiming Samsung's gonna hold a press event at 6 p.m. on February 23rd in Barcelona just ahead a Mobile World Congress which kicks off on the 24th we don't often see things that exact usually hear like hey maybe in September or maybe in February this is the exact time that is going to be announced so pretty crazy I know you Galaxy heads I just made that up are pretty excited certainly we are as well considering the galaxy s5 will usher in probably 90 other variants of galaxy s5 phones galaxy s5 zoom galaxy s5 neo zoom galaxy s5 camera zoom galaxy s5 notes and then the 12 inch Galaxy s5 note camera so all these devices potentially coming are you most excited for the new HTC One
