HTC has revealed the HTC One Glamour Red, a new color variant of the flagship Android smartphone, headed to the UK initially. The handset, otherwise identical to the existing HTC One – which so far has come in far more sober black and silver hues – will go on sale as an exclusive with UK
T-Mobile customers may have to sit tight for a little while longer if they’re planning to pick up a Nokia Lumia 925 or Sony Xperia Z. TmoNews has reportedly obtained a roadmap from the UnCarrier that has the two smartphones launching on July 17th alongside an unidentified (though likely budget-oriented) handset. While pricing isn’t mentioned for the Xperia Z, the Lumia 925 is expected to cost $100 down with a $579 full price. The apparent leak gives us a date to mark on our calendars, although we won’t base our lives around it — carriers tend to change schedules at the last minute, after all.

If the leaks of the MOTO X from earlier today weren’t enough to pump you up about the future of Motorola, the new logo might. Released today by Motorola itself, the company has made their lettering a bit more laid-back with the only capital character being the G for their parent company. This logo is
Those of you out there in the wild with HTC One envy and a hankering for Windows Phone 8 may be glad to see the release appearing this week: the HTC 8XT. This device takes on one key element from the HTC One – HTC BoomSound – and applies it to a piece of hardware
Microsoft has been pushing to get Windows Phone 8 recognized as the “third ecosystem”, insisting that carriers and consumers alike both want another alternative to iOS and Android, and now it has some vocal support from O2 parent Telefonica. The new announcement promises an “enhanced marketing effort” between the two companies, which will apparently see

The much-anticipated Motorola X may well have been caught in the wild, with the smartphone believed to have been spotted in 4G carrier testing as the Motorola XT1056. The image, leaked to PhoneArena, shows a “confidential”-marked handset running Android on what’s expected to be a 4.5- to 4.7-inch display. According to the source of the
LG has teased the Optimus G’s successor for awhile, but we’ve seen precious little of the phone’s design. We may have just received a better peek: a tipster has sent @evleaks some images that appear to come from a promo video for the flagship device. While the snapshots are clearly victims of Mr. Blurrycam, they’re detailed enough to suggest a big break from last year’s model. They show both a previously seen buttonless front as well as an extremely slim profile that moves the volume controls to the back. There’s also no mention of the Optimus badge — all the on-screen graphics simply refer to the phone as the “G2.” None of the images are verifiable, so there’s no guarantee that they reflect the real thing. If we happen to see something similar-looking on August 7th, however, it won’t come as a surprise.

If you’re looking to tap into one of T-Mobile’s low-cost unlimited plans but are feeling squeamish about paying for your phone outright, then you might be curious about the Prism II: a new budget smartphone that’s about to hit widespread availability at T-Mobile. The handset has been on our radar for some time — ever since it was first outed by @evleaks in March — but just recently became official with a wallet-friendly price of $116 outright. The Prism II arrives as a successor to the original model from Huawei, but with added horsepower and a fresh version of Android. In all, it brings a 3.5-inch HVGA (480 x 320) display, a 1GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, a 3.2-megapixel camera, 4GB of expandable storage, a 1,750mAh battery and Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). The Prism II is currently listed as “Coming Soon” on T-Mobile’s website, but carrier reps tell us that it’ll hit nationwide availability on June 26th… in other words, tomorrow.
