Canadians won’t have to wait long for their version of the LG G2. The 5.2-inch smartphone is now due to reach Bell, Rogers, Sasktel, Telus, Videotron and Wind Mobile on September 27th, two days after it launches on T-Mobile in the States. The carriers haven’t yet divulged pricing, although we’re not expecting Bell, Rogers or Telus to charge much more than $200 on contract, like some of their American counterparts.

There should be little doubt that Google is planning on continuing their Nexus smartphone program well into the future – that much is clear. What’s not as clear is their release schedule and manufacturer choices – the pattern we’ve expected to find appearing several years ago with a new OEM for each device being doused […]

We’ve seen a few international Galaxy Note 3 models pass through the FCC for approval; now, it’s time for two American versions. The first variant, the SM-N900A, has just cleared the US agency with support for AT&T’s GSM, HSPA and LTE frequencies — most likely, it’s a peek at what we’ll see on October 1st. A second model, the SM-N900R4, appears destined for LTE-capable CDMA carriers such as Sprint, US Cellular and numerous regional US providers. While there are no surprises in the FCC filings, it’s evident that Samsung’s giant Android smartphone will soon be ubiquitous in the States.

Though Apple did this time around create a set of their own home-made cases for the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S, accessory makers like Moshi wouldn’t be deterred. While the vast majority of cases made for the iPhone 5 already fit the iPhone 5S as they’ve got essentially the same physical features where it counts […]

Traditionally no one in the technology industry likes to announce their products around the same time Apple is holding an event. The goings-on at Apple during the unveiling event overshadow a lot of other things in the industry. Asus has reportedly decided to wait a week after Apple’s announcement of the iPhone 5C and iPhone […]

The Moto X has been touted as a “Made in USA” smartphone, with the assembly taking place at a facility in Forth Worth, Texas. Motorola‘s CEO Dennis Woodside took to the company’s blog today to talk about this and to introduce the new ability to tour the facility on Google Maps, allowing the interested to […]
If you’re anything like us, you’re wondering just how well Motorola’s Fort Worth factory is coping with demand for Moto X smartphones. The answer? Well enough, thank you: CEO Dennis Woodside just told Reuters in an interview that the US-based plant is shipping about 100,000 Moto X units each week. While that’s nowhere near the millions of units that Apple or Samsung would ship in a similar space of time, Woodside notes that the factory is still ramping up. Current numbers also don’t reflect sales, since only some devices already have buyers. We’d add that Motorola is targeting just a handful of countries versus the global scale of its rivals. It’s doubtful that the company’s Fort Worth production will ever come close to that of manufacturing hubs like Shenzhen, but there’s early signs that the American factory is here to stay.
