4/22/2015 8:46:00 PM
Chip maker Qualcomm is expecting business to slow in the second half of this year. While discussing the reasons for this forecast, the company noted that it will have a decline in share at one large customer. We all know what that is all about. When talk first started about the Snapdragon 810 SoC overheating, Samsung decided to stuff the home-grown Exynos 7420 into the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge in all regions. Traditionally, Sammy would use a Snapdragon chipset for its flagship phone in the U.S. and in other areas. Now that the Genie is out of the bottle, we'd expect Samsung ...

The Microsoft Lumia 940 could sport a 5.2-inch screen
4/22/2015 6:54:00 PM
While Microsoft already released several own-branded Lumia smartphones (like the 640 and the 540), it has yet to introduce a high-end model. However, this should finally happen sometime later this year, when, according to rumors, Microsoft will launch not one, but two high-end handsets, which could be called Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL.
Not long ago, we heard that the Lumia 940 would sport a 5-inch display, while the 940 XL would have a 5.7-inch one. However, Nokia Power User now reports that the 940 will actually be a bit bigger, offering a 5.2-inch screen (of unknown resolution, probably ...

The circular design of the Gear A is expected to allow it to use a new interface that will apparently ...

4/22/2015 4:50:00 PM
If you thought that Samsung is finished promoting the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, better guess again.

During the spot, we are told that the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge have the highest pixel density of any phone ever manufactured by Samsung. The combination of the 5.1-inch Super AMOLED glass and 1440 x 2560 resolution means that the phones ...

At the end of March, Sony promised that it would bring Android 5.0 Lollipop to two of its mid-range smartphones that were introduced in 2014: the Xperia C3 and the Xperia T2 Ultra. Well, the update is rolling out now in phases, which means that owners of the two handsets should be able to get rid of KitKat and replace it with Lollipop starting today. Of course, depending on their location, some users might (and probably will) receive the update a bit later than today. But that's how things go with over-the-air updates anyway.
