Samsung Galaxy S6 edge review: Double down
4/3/2015 12:54:03 PM

How big of an impact can a small change have? The Samsung Galaxy S6 edge has only the extra screen curves compared to the vanilla Galaxy S6, but these two phones couldn't feel any more different - a difference that you can readily feel when you...

 

Yet another set of One M9 Plus renders surface
4/3/2015 10:43:23 AM

Another day, another HTC One M9 Plus leak. HTC's upcoming handset has been a constant presence in the rumor mill for the past few days and, as it turns out, leaked images are pretty easy to come by. Granted, all we have seen so far are renders, from various sources and they have been getting more and more frequent. We are yet to see some live shots of an actual unit, but, from the looks of things, the smartphone will certainly feature a physical button. This has been a long-standing debate about the M9 Plus and while one or two renders, could be deceiving in nature, evidence has started piling up and at this point, there is really no ignoring the big, round button, in the middle of the bottom Boom speaker. A brand new set of pictures only further proves this point. This time, the renders are really up close and personal and the overall design is as clear as daylight. All of the HTC One M9 is there, which is really no surprise, considering the company's track record of sticking with the particular unibody style. The elephant in the room, the button, has naturally led to a lot of controversy and is quite polarizing among fans. Another thing is also clear - HTC has preserved the wide black bar below the display, also, often criticized by users. Source (in Chinese) |...

4/3/2015 9:48:16 AM

Chinese smartphone manufacturer Meizu has announced that it sold around 2 million devices last month. This compares to the 1 and 1.5 million smartphones it sold in the months of December 2014 and January this year, respectively. Back in February this year, Li Nan, VP of Marketing and Sales at Meizu, said that the company could reach the 20 million figure by the end of the year. However, he also made it clear that it's not something they are aiming to achieve. The news comes nearly a couple of months after Alibaba Group announced that it will invest $590 million in the smartphone...

 

Galaxy S6 edge and HTC One M9 and iPhone 6 undergo bend test
4/3/2015 7:46:29 AM

Dredging up a controversial issue from the past, Square Trade decided to redo Bendgate tests this time including the new Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and HTC One M9. The phones were tested twice - once until they visibly bend and again until they are bent to their breaking point The Apple iPhone 6 Plus, the phone that kicked off Bendgate, was put under 110 pounds before it got deformed. It took the most pressure, 179 pounds, to break the Apple gadget. The Samsung Galaxy S6 edge also bent at 110 pounds, though one of the curved sides of the display cracked. It's protected by Gorilla Glass 4, but the shape of the side makes it more susceptible to cracking. The S6 edge could still power on though so it was put in the press again until it broke at 149 pounds. Finally, the HTC One M9 first bent at 120 pounds which was its undoing too. The Power button was moved from the top to the center of the right side, exactly where the phone bends (phones tend to bend at the side buttons). The One M9 could not power on after that. Here's a table with the numbers for each phone: .atable { margin-bottom: 1em; width: 580px !important; } .atable tr:first-child td {font-weight: bold !important; background-color: lightgrey; } .atable td:first-child { font-weight: bold !important; } .atable td { text-align: center; } Phone Bend weight Breaking weight Apple iPhone 6 Pls 110lbs 179lbs HTC One M9 — 120lbs Samsung Galaxy S6 110lbs 149lbs Source |...
