Oppo A11w receives certification by Indonesia's FCC; is this Oppo's "bezel-less" phone?
3/25/2015 1:54:00 AM


Over the last couple of days, we told you about a new Oppo handset that has quite a few smartphone fans excited. No, it has nothing to do with the specs of the phone. In fact, those haven't even been leaked at this point outside of the rumored size of the screen (5.5-inches). Instead, it's the "bezel-less" look of the device that has many looking at the unit with goo-goo eyes.

While images of the phone have leaked, including a video showing the screen in action, we really don't even know the name of this model. But we do have a clue. Indonesia's FCC has certified an unknown Oppo A11w ...

3/25/2015 12:45:00 AM


Earlier this month, we showed you some images of the unannounced HTC One E9pt (A55). The specs made sense only if the p in "pt" stood for Plus. That appears to be the case as a new photo collage of the device calls it the HTC One E9+. Made with a glossy plastic body, the phone doesn't have the curve of the HTC One M9 in back which means that it is more svelte than HTC's new flagship model. The 5.5-inch screen is carrying a 1440 x 2560 resolution and is powered by a 64-bit octa-core 2.2GHz MediaTek MT-6795 CPU.

The One E9+ will have 3GB of RAM inside, with 32GB of native storage. There ...

Founded 90 years ago, Bang & Olufsen is a Danish company with tradition in delivering high quality audio experiences. The company provides audio equipment for various ...

3/24/2015 6:53:00 PM


From now through 11:59am EDT tomorrow, you can head over to the Motorola website and purchase the first-generation Motorola Moto G LTE for just $159.99. That is a $40 discount from the regular $199.99 price of the handset. Motorola recently released the second-generation Motorola Moto G LTE, which is probably why the manufacturer is willing to get rid of the first-gen model so cheaply.
