New ad for Samsung Galaxy S6 focuses on wireless charging
4/13/2015 10:58:00 AM

Samsung's latest television commercial for the Samsung Galaxy S6 is all about the wireless charging. Well, that is unless you're a fan of British singer Rita Oro, who saunters into the commercial carrying her brand new Galaxy S6. Obviously concerned by the dwindling amount of battery life on her spanking new handset, she plops it onto the wireless charging pad.

The small print at the bottom of the ad tells us that the average time to recharge from 0% to 100% wirelessly is 180 minutes, or 3 hours. Oro must have spent a few hours at the studio because the ad shows the battery progressively ...

 

Huawei releases epic trailer for the Honor 4X, a nice-looking up and coming mid-ranger
4/13/2015 10:42:00 AM

Huawei released a pretty rockin' trailer for the Honor 4X, its latest mid-range smartphone. By the way, this one's already on pre-order in Europe for 200 EUR (US $211) unlocked. And now that the Euro and the almighty dollar are almost head-to-head, both prices make Huawei's latest seem like a good deal, considering the amount of smartphone you're getting.

More spec-ifically, the Honor 4X is outfitted with an in-house produced 64-bit octa-core Kirin chipset, a 13MP main camera and 5MP front cam, 2GB of RAM, 8GB of expandable storage (okay, so a microSD card is mandatory purchase here), a ...

 

How to send and receive large files between smartphones (or your PC) with Wi-Fi Direct
4/13/2015 10:41:00 AM

With the world of technology fixated on coming up with new and novel applications for smartphones, it should come as no surprise that the Android phone in your pocket has quite a few ways to communicate and exchange (small or large) files with other devices around it. In fact, off the top of our mind, we can think of a few -- through e-mail, through Bluetooth, through NFC (Android Beam), and even through a cloud service. Of course, none of these are very useful when all you're looking to do is send a rather large file to a friend's device, which is sitting just a few feet from yours.

Sweet LeTV x600 unboxing photos warm up the crowd for tomorrow's bezel-less smartphone reveal
4/13/2015 9:46:00 AM

Oh, look who came out and posed for some shots today! It's the LeTV x600, the lowlier cousin of the nearly bezel-less LeTV x900 smartphone, which the Chinese entertainment company will reveal tomorrow, April 14. If it wasn't for the bezels, one would surely mistake the x600 for the more interesting smartphone, because both devices have an exceedingly simple, clean design - you won't even see a logo on the front panel. 


Anyway, the x600 is a plastic body smartphone powered by an octa-core MediaTek MT6595 chipset accompanied with 2GB of RAM, and other tidbits that we know ...

 

How to run two Facebook accounts with notifications from both on your Android device
4/13/2015 8:57:00 AM

Hello, socialites! In this tutorial, we're going to show you a neat trick we picked up from a wonderful how-to website. Have you ever wondered how to run not one, but two Facebook accounts on your smartphone? It's a feature Facebook doesn't allow from the get-go for some reason, but it's totally doable, and without much to do in the way of app installing and tweaking. To be perfectly honest with you, having to deal with just a single Facebook account on your gizmo is more than enough of a hassle these days, but those who'd like to run both a social and professional account of some kind, for example, ...

4/13/2015 7:14:00 AM

Karalux, which is Vietnam's answer to Western luxury smartphones and gifts brands, showed off its latest and greatest - the Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 edge, covered in multiple ounces of 24K gold bling-bling. Specialized in gold-plating superphones and supercars, Karalux made an example of luxurified Samsung flagships. Apparently, its engineers take only three hours to complete the gold-plated versions of both the Galaxy S6 & S6 edge, even though the process goes through over 10 different stages. Must be fun playing with the Galaxy S6 and a bunch of 24K gold bullions all day!

4/13/2015 6:01:00 AM

The Chinese rumor mill has been really busy lately, which makes sense considering what a large smartphone industry the country has nurtured. Its latest production is a bunch of live images of the Vivo X5 Pro, which happens to be another intriguing smartphone from the manufacturer.

If this one caught your interest back in March, ...
