ZTE ZMAX returns to T-Mobile with warning to buyers not to hack the battery
4/27/2015 7:39:00 PM
Earlier this month, we told you that T-Mobile had pulled the ZTE ZMAX from the carrier's retail stores, including its MetroPCS pre-paid division. It had nothing to do with poor sales, as some had thought. Apparently, some of T-Mobile's customers were taking advantage of the easy to remove "non-removable" battery cover on the handset, and were trying to remove the cell.
A T-Mobile internal memo, which was disseminated today, confirms that a small number of ZMAX owners were trying to remove the 3400mAh battery from the handset. Because this action could have led to injuries, the carrier ...

In case you're not planning to buy the LG Watch Urbane from Verizon (which is getting ready to release it tomorrow), you can order the new smartwatch right now from Google Store.

As you may know, $349 is also the starting price of the Apple Watch (the Sport model).
It looks like Google Store lets you buy the Watch Urbane only if you reside in one of the following countries: US, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea, or Australia.

4/27/2015 3:45:00 PM
While everyone is expecting LG to officially unveil its G4 flagship (this will happen tomorrow, on April 28), the company recently started selling another new smartphone: the LG Magna.

The smartphone further offers an 8 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front-facing camera with Gesture Shot (for quick selfies), 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of expandable internal memory, a 1W speaker, ...

The buzz around the water cooler has ...
