    BlackBerry Is Reportedly Bringing Back Trackpads

    BlackBerry phones have almost always had a “belt” which contained either a trackball or a trackpad, apart from a back button, a BB button and two separate buttons for receiving or declining calls. Trackballs were phased out a long time ago and replaced by trackpads, but last year when it launched its new BB10 phones, the company eliminated this belt altogether. Now this might not have been appreciated by some BB loyalists who would have preferred that the company retained this once iconic setup. If a new report is true, apparently BlackBerry is bringing back the trackpad as well as the entire belt of buttons.

    ZTE Grand Memo II LTE Announced

    ZTE Grand Memo II LTE Announced[MWC 2014] Is it me, or is it a day that is full of sequels when it comes to smartphones by ZTE, a company which hails from China? The ZTE Grand Memo II LTE has just been announced, where it will be a follow up to the ZTE Grand Memo that was first introduced to the world at Mobile World Congress – last year, that is. This latest device has been updated accordingly to suit the times, where it will feature a far more generous 6” display on the outside compared to the 5.7” screen in its predecessor, a 13MP shooter right at the back alongside a 5MP camera in front that will be able to guarantee you great looking selfies, not to mention a 3,200mAh battery which runs the entire shebang.

    LG G Pro 2 Hands-On Review

    The LG G Pro 2 launched last week in Korea and yesterday I was able to briefly play with it at the LG press conference. Just like the LG G flex, the display is amazing and, despite its large size (5.9-inch) the device feels surprisingly light. The manufacturer managed to keep the footprint small, thanks to a super thin 0.4 mm bezel! At 172 g, the new LG flagship is only 3g heavier than its smaller competitor the Samsung Galaxy Note which is equipped with a 5.7-inch display.
