Just as the brand new HTC One M9 is starting to arrive on store shelves, HTC has unveiled the One M8s: a phone that looks practically identical to the One M8, but does feature a new, 64-bit system chip and does away with the UltraPixel main camera. Apart from those two big changes, the HTC One M8s sports the same brushed aluminum unibody and styling, a 5-inch 1080 x 1920-pixel LCD screen, and pretty much all else has remained identical.

4/2/2015 12:32:00 PM

The Asus ZenFone 2 is one of the most interesting smartphones of 2015. Not just because it has a version with 4 GB of RAM, but also because said version is quite cheap, considering the features that it's offering.

Already available in select markets (including China, Taiwan, and France), the ZenFone 2 will likely help Asus sell more smartphones than ever this year. More exactly, the company believes that it can sell 30 million handsets before the end of 2015 (with 10 million units expected to be shipped in China).

If it manages to sell 30 million handsets, Asus will probably become ...

Useful innovation or a gimmick, what do you think of the curved display on the Galaxy S6 edge?
4/2/2015 9:56:00 AM

Samsung currently has all eyes on its Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge flagships, with an imminent launch next week, but it's the Edge that picked everyone's attention with its unorthodox side-sloping display, that is the only thing which separates it from the "plain" S6, if we don't count the slightly different dimensions, and the larger battery.

Galaxy S6 edge comes with a flexible AMOLED panel that has a plastic, instead of glass substrate, and bends over both the left and right edges of the new flagship, utilizing Samsung's proprietary 3D Thermoforming method. Besides the cool factor, these ...

4/2/2015 9:43:00 AM

Simply buying a new case for your aging handset can all of a sudden make it look attractive and different again, but some manufacturers go above and beyond the extra mile and official case wrappers when it comes to customizing your phone's looks.

Granted, there are plenty of handsets that offer you removable back covers, and you can order replacements in different hues or textures from third-party accessory makers, if your was scratched, or you just got bored with it.

Thanks to this, it can even become a desktop personal computer that will deal just fine with browsing, document editing, and multimedia. Great stuff! 


The only major prerequisite to trying this out is MHL. But what is an MHL and ...

4/2/2015 7:22:00 AM


Prior to Mobile World Congress 2015, rumor had it that HTC was going to announce a couple of new smartphones at the expo – a new flagship, namely the HTC One M9, and a more powerful version of the latter, referred to as the HTC One M9 Plus (or HTC One M9+, if you will). These rumors weren't quite spot on, however, as only a part of what was predicted came to pass; the HTC One M9 Plus did not debut at MWC. But it looks like the handset hasn't been scrapped. Quite the contrary – HTC has an event scheduled for April 8, and the One M9 Plus is likely going to be the ...
