But to technology makers, it means another weapon in the competition-cutting arsenal. Packing the most cutting-edge technology possible within the tightest of confines stands for an impressive design and engineering achievement that showcases the best of the company's abilities.

LG awarded design patent outlining a phone that will bend and attach to a bracelet
4/16/2015 2:50:00 AM
While the portable phones from two decades ago have gone through absolutely mind-boggling improvements to arrive at where they are today, it has nevertheless been some time since we've had any change in the form factor. Indeed, regardless of manufacturer, a smartphone today mostly means a rounded rectangular slab with 60% and more of its surface taken up by a touch-enabled screen. Interestingly enough, while those two are likely to remain a constant this next decade, companies like LG envision a future where they are far more flexible.

MediaTek could be rolling a 10-core chip off the assembly line by the the end of 2015
4/15/2015 11:56:00 PM
MediaTek, the company whose chips have normally been seen in low-end budget models from China (until recently), was the first to offer a true octa-core chipset back in 2013.

Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge screen and battery replacements will be expensive
4/15/2015 10:41:00 PM
If you have (or plan to get) a Samsung Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge, you should already know that both handsets come with non-user replaceable batteries. Since the new Galaxies have low repairability scores, it is strongly advised that you always take them to an authorized repair center in case something needs to be fixed. Speaking of that, according to PG Mag, Samsung today revealed that a Galaxy S6 or s6 edge battery replacement will cost you $45 plus shipping, if you need this to be done after the 1 year of warranty offered by the company (during which Samsung replaces the battery for free, though ...
Huawei P8max
4/15/2015 10:09:00 AM
The Huawei P8 Max is an amply oversized version of its Huawei P8 flagship that sports a 6.8-inch display and is, therefore, a tablet as much as it is a smartphone. Although it is a legitimately humongous smartphone, the P8 Max is truly a maximized version of the P8 flagship, meaning that it retains the slim premium build. It features a thickness of 6.8mm, despite packing an appropriately huge battery. The P8 Max is built on the same platform as the flagship P8, as this is Huawei's latest and greatest technology, and anything less wouldn't make sense with this model.
