It’s the first Monday of August and to kick-start our week, let’s check out some stories about three upcoming devices, which have already been leaked well before they get officially announced.  In this week’s edition of Mobile Mondays on CyberShack, we’ll be talking about the flip-style Galaxy Golden, the HTC One Max and the BlackBerry Z30.

Samsung Galaxy Golden. The flip-style Android smartphone from Samsung poses for the camera this week. The smartphone was first leaked two weeks ago when an ad was posted and a blueprint was posted online, which lead a lot of people to wonder if Samsung was really serious in bringing the design back to the mainstream market.

Aside from the leaked images of the phone, a manual also provided some details with regards to the internals of the device. The phone will reportedly pack a duo of WVGA AMOLED screen and feature a Snapdragon 400 chip with a 1.7GHz dual-core processor and 2GB of RAM.

The phone is expected to be marketed as the Samsung Galaxy Golden in South Korea. There are no details yet if the device will be shipped to other markets.

HTC One Max. Another rumoured smartphone that was leaked this week was the HTC One Max. The device will be the larger version of the HTC One flagship phone and packs a 6-inch screen. It is supposed to run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chip with a quad-core 2.3GHz Krait 400 processor, Adreno 330 graphics and 2GB of RAM.

Just like the HTC One and the One Mini, the One Max will sport the same 4MP UltraPixel camera. The phone will run on Android v4.3 with HTC Sense 5.5 on top and will be powered by a 3300mAh battery. According to the tipster, the HTC One Max is expected to be shipped first in China where it will have three versions for three of China’s telco providers.

BlackBerry Z15 and Z30. Last but definitely not the least is about BlackBerry’s upcoming devices – the Z30 tablet and the QWERTY-hybrid Z15.

The BB Z30 (formerly codenamed as the BB A10), which appeared today through a leaked tutorial will reportedly feature a 5-inch OLED screen of 720 resolution. It will also have a Qualcomm chip with a 1.7GHz processor, Adreno GPU and 2GB of RAM..

The BB Z15 on the other hand is a QWERTY-hybrid similar to the BlackBerry Torch of the old days. There’s not much info about the phone and the source of the image renders aren’t that credible. But if turns out the Z15 is more than just a fan-art, it will certainly add some flavour to the BB10 family.
