HTC One M8 Gets “Buy One, Free One” Promotion From Verizon

HTC One M8 Gets Buy One, Free One Promotion From VerizonEarlier today, HTC unveiled its latest handset, the HTC One M8. Interestingly enough HTC has decided to try a new strategy which is to make the phone available as soon as it is announced, as opposed to announcing it earlier and then have customers wait a few weeks or a month before they can get their hands on it.

The good news is that for those on AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint, the handset will be available for purchase today, although those on T-Mobile will have to wait until next month. Even better news is that it looks like Verizon is offering a “buy one get one free” deal for the HTC One M8. (more…)

    LG Optimus Zone 2 For Verizon Leaked

    LG Optimus Zone 2 For Verizon LeakedBack in the middle of 2013, LG unveiled the LG Optimus Zone which was an entry-level handset. The design of the phone featured some pretty sharp angles but thanks to a recent leak by the ever-reliable @evleaks, we now know that LG has a new handset in the works called the LG Optimus Zone 2, which presumably is the follow up to last year’s handset.

    Based on the leaked image, assuming it’s real, features a more curved design which seems to be in line with LG’s design language as of late. It also sports a Verizon logo on the top left corner of the device, indicating that the phone will most likely arrive on Verizon’s network in the near future. (more…)

    Nokia Lumia Icon Undergoes Battery Tests

    Nokia Lumia Icon Undergoes Battery TestsEarlier this year, Nokia announced the Lumia Icon, a handset that is an exclusive for Verizon (although some say that an international variant in the form of the Lumia 930 could be on its way). For those unfamiliar, the Lumia Icon is essentially a smaller version of the Lumia 1520 with a more manageable 5-inch display versus the Lumia 1520’s 6-inch.

    Essentially this has the power of the Lumia 1520 packed into a smaller body for those who prefer something not of the phablet variety. However to make the device smaller, Nokia did have to make a couple of concessions, one of which was putting a smaller 2,420mAh battery inside versus the Lumia 1520’s 3,400mAh. (more…)
