Before the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S5, there were rumors surrounding the handset with regards to its price, suggesting that the handset could be priced cheaper than its predecessor and the competition.

Given that hardware on most of the flagship phones we’ve seen at MWC 2014 is more or less the same, we guess price is one way of attracting customers to your product apart from differentiating features. Well it seems that either retailers did not get the memo or that the rumors were wrong, because it looks like the Galaxy S5 has been priced and it does not sound cheap at all. (more…)

When Nokia first unveiled the Nokia X and its forked version of Android, we were immediately reminded of Amazon. Not because they shared similar traits or design, but the fact that it would be possible to flash a custom ROM onto it, root, and basically take away the forked version of Android and eventually replace it with something more familiar.

That being said, it seems that whatever we mentioned above is well underway as reports have claimed that the developer units of the Nokia X have since been rooted. What this means is that developers who have the phone will be able to install and add other apps onto the system that they previously couldn’t, like Google’s services. (more…)

It looks as though the Nokia Lumia 630 is not the only smartphone that is experiencing its fair share of leaks recently, as the all new HTC One (aka HTC M8), too, has gone through a fair amount of leaks. In fact, an upcoming event this March 25th is seen by many as the date where HTC will unveil their “All New HTC One”, which will be the new flagship device, and there has been plenty of leaks happening already. In fact, serial leakster @evleaks has also posted a new picture of the handset that will reportedly be known as the “All New HTC One,” and it does bear a family resemblance to the original HTC One, including the front-facing stereo speakers. There is one major difference in their physical make up, however, which would be located at the back of the handset. Apparently, the usurper will feature dual cameras.

We have heard our fair share of bill shock stories in the past, and it seems that this particular (albeit unwanted) phenomenon has yet to be stamped out. Most of the time, “bill shock”, which is the term used to describe a situation where one goes roaming overseas without knowing any better and return home only to be greeted by an insane phone bill at the end of the month. Well, this Japanese tourist who had his iPhone pickpocketed from him on December 29 last year while he was riding the Barcelona subway, had the shock of his life when he was billed for $9,800 (after conversion from yen, of course) at the end of the month.

Out of all the mobile platforms, both Android and iOS enjoy the greatest degree of support, and by that, it also translates to the number of games which are revealed on both platforms. As for Windows Phone, well, reception in that particular department has proved itself to be rather lukewarm, but this does not mean that major titles still do not make its way there. FIFA 14, a title that has surpassed 26 million mobile downloads at the end of last year, has finally arrived on the Windows Phone platform for soccer fans worldwide.
