Marshall (yes, the popular headphone brand) has just made known its plans to come out with a music-centric smartphone called London. Reminiscent of a classic guitar amp, this smartphone has some unique features up its sleeve.

The Marshall London features dual audio output which can be used to share your music to other people. There have been adaptors that made this function possible, but it’s just now that we see a smartphone that intends to share music. Additional features include a gold-plated M button up top that is dedicated only to bring you to your music library in an instant.

The volume rocker indeed rocks since it’s a scroll wheel that’s also covered in gold plating.  Additionally, the company also threw in its own Marshal Mode in-ear headphones to round up the bundle.

Marshall London specs:
4.7-inch HD display @ 1280 x 720 resolution
Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor
2GB RAM
16GB internal storage
Expandable via microSD
8MP rear camera
LTE
Dual front-facing speakers
2500mAh battery

Apple might acquire Beats Electronics for $3.2 billion

Daniel Morial Leave a comment

Beats Audio, makers of premium headphones (premium prices too), might soon be a part of your iPhone, iPod, and iPad.

Rumor has it that Apple is considering to buy Beats Electronics, makers of the popular Beats Audio products, for $3.2 billion. Beats was recently valued at more than $1 billion, and even with Apple’s large cash pile of around $159 billion, this will pose as the company’s biggest acquisition yet if it pushes through.

This is not the first time that Beats Audio was incorporated with mobile devices. HTC owns 50.1% majority share of Beats and had their previous flagship smartphones come with special Beats Audio branding, earphones, and software. However, due to high cost and low revenue, HTC stopped offering premium earphones and eventually divested their holdings from Beats last year.

Beats Audio also recently launched their own music streaming service that competes with the likes of Apple’s iTunes Radio and the more popular Spotify.
