In line with the recent premiere of the Avengers: Age of Ultron in South Korea, Samsung has announced that its planning to release a special edition Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge with an Ironman-inspired paintjob in the next coming weeks.

The announcement came straight from the head of Samsung Marketing Lee Young-Hee. However, the picture you see above is just a mock-up made by an artist named Classico, and may not possibly be the final look of the Ironman-inspired Samsung Galaxy S6.

Lee didn’t disclose a lot of information about how the Galaxy S6 Ironman Edition will look like or when the South Korean firm plans to release it in the market. In the meantime, marvel (pun intended) at the other Avengers-themed Galaxy S6 renders made by Classico.

And here are Samsung’s take on the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge special edition which was grabbed directly from Samsung’s official website.

Gionee is rumored to be working on the successor of the Elife E7, and based on the information that the TENAA has recently divulged, the upcoming Gionee Elife E8 isn’t going to be a typical upgrade from the previous model.

According to reports, the upcoming Gionee Elife E8 will sport a 6-inch display with 2560 x 1440 resolution, a huge jump from the 5.5-inch full-HD screen found on its predecessor.

The battery pack also received a significant shot in the arm from 2,500mAh to a beefier 3520mAh battery pack. Gionee has also added a dual-tone flash unit to accompany the phablet’s rear camera.

Another circular component can be found just below the camera unit which seems like a fingerprint scanner.

Gionee Elife E8 (unconfirmed) specs:

6-inch Quad-HD AMOLED display, 2560×1440 @489ppi
2.0GHz octa-core processor
3GB RAM
Expandable 32GB internal storage
Supports up to 128GB via microSD
Dual-tone LED flash
4G/TD-LTE
WiFi
Bluetooth
GPS
3,520mAh battery
Android 5.0 KitKat with Amigo OS 3.0
Dimension: 164 x 82.3 x 9.6mm
Weight: 207g

The pricing and release date of the upcoming Gionee Elife E8 are still yet to be confirmed at the time of writing.
