If you’ll remember back to when the rumors of not one, but two Samsung dual-display flip phones appeared earlier this year, it was said that they’d not quite have the power of the Galaxy S 4 (the hero of this years’ series), but they would look relatively similar. Now we’ve seen one – Samsung Hennessy […]
If you happen to have the Euro edition of the HTC One this week and were just itching to get confirmation of the existence of the miniature phone accessory HTC Mini+, an over-the-air update appearing today should suffice. What you’ll be seeing here is software update 2.24.401.8, sent out to this international edition of the […]
It would appear that the folks at Intel are not giving up – by any means – on their ventures into the smartphone and tablet universe as a roadmap of processor architecture leaks today. This selection of next-generation hardware will be used in Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Android 4.2 devices, leaving Windows RT in […]
This week as we edge ever closer to the international tech conference known as IFA, we find devices like the Sony Xperia i1 leaking out in full – well before their official unveiling. While this device, also known as Sony Xperia “Honami”, is more than likely set to be revealed in full at an event […]
Samsung clearly thinks the flip-phone is here to stay. After all, why else would it launch two new clamshells in a matter of weeks? Today, the tech giant debuted the Galaxy Golden, which is strikingly similar to the Folder that leaked under an almost identical model number just prior to the Hennessey’s official arrival. The Golden sports dual 3.7-inch Super AMOLED screens, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, a 1.7GHz dual-core processor and an 8MP camera. There’s a slew of features aimed at older folks too, like an “easy mode” that can optimize the home screen, a pedometer that works with S Health, a business card recognition function and even an FM radio. Koreans in their golden years with a spare 790,000 won (if Google Translate is to be trusted), or just over $700, might appreciate these tailored features, as they’ll probably be on-board with the aging form factor, too.

Google just finished rolling out its Google Play Services 3.2 update, affecting anyone who uses a device running Android 2.2 Froyo or later. The app listing is easy enough to find but updates are typically ignored. Not this time around. In fact, the 3.2 boost comes with power saving and performance enhancements that make this […]
Though it just went up for sale on Friday, the ZTE Open is already sold out on eBay after just a weekend’s availability. Both US and UK eBay stores no longer have any stock of the Firefox OS-running phone, the Telegraph reports, which means consumers will need to wait until another production run is made […]
When Facebook launched Video on Instagram, some were quick to dig an early grave for Vine — Twitter’s video-only app was surely doomed, right? Wrong. Twitter just revealed that Vine now has over 40 million registered users, or more than triple the 13 million users it claimed before its Android app launch in early June. Twitter hasn’t said how many of the new members run Android, but it’s clear that Google’s platform contributed significantly to the increase. Whether or not Vine maintains its pace is another matter. While Instagram frequently reports active users, the Vine team isn’t as specific; there’s a chance that some of those 40 million account holders tried Vine and promptly abandoned it. Still, the much larger audience suggests that there’s room for more than one short-form mobile video service.

It’s not often you get as much information on a top-tier release like Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note III well before its official reveal, but what we’ve got in abundance for this device is just that: essentially everything. The Galaxy Note III has been tipped this week by sources speaking with SamMobile for a launch and […]
