Sony shows off the Xperia C4 Dual in promo video
5/11/2015 3:58:00 PM
Sony last week announced the Xperia C4, a new selfie smartphone that's ready to succeed the Xperia C3 from 2014. Before actually launching it (this will happen starting June), Sony is showcasing the Xperia C4 in a short promo video, so interested customers can take a quick look at its main features.
The video is showing the dual SIM version of the new handset, which is called Xperia C4 Dual, presenting its "anti-scratch and crisp" 5.5-inch 1080p display, the "5 MP smart social selfie camera" on the front, the 13 MP rear camera, the "elegant and ultra slim design", and so on. The new Xperia ...
LG G4 does have Quick Charge 2.0 capabilities
5/11/2015 3:39:00 PM
Since the LG G4 offers something not commonly seen these days in new smartphone models, a removable battery, it was assumed by most that the Snapdragon 808 SoC employed by LG did not offer the Quick Charge 2.0 feature found on other Snapdragon chipsets. In addition, LG has not promoted the feature at all. Considering how Samsung and Motorola have made a big deal about this capability on certain handsets, it is no surprise that there was this assumption that the LG G4 did not have Quick Charge 2.0.
But you know what they say happens when you assume something. So LG released a statement that ...
Windows Phone third party YouTube apps My Tube and Metro Tube receive updates
5/11/2015 1:53:00 PM
Windows Phone third party YouTube apps My Tube and Metro Tube both have received an update in the Windows Phone Store. Google and Microsoft have not been able to see eye-to-eye on a way to allow a YouTube client to be made available for the platform. The most recent attempt made by Microsoft to build such an app resulted in it being blocked by Google. As a result, the two aforementioned Windows Phone apps have become quite popular.
MyTube has been updated to version 2.1.2.0. The new features include an ability to respond to comments (you might have to sign back into your account the ...
Motorola Droid Turbo is now cheaper than ever off contract
5/11/2015 1:17:00 PM
Launched by Verizon in October last year, the Motorola Droid Turbo was initially priced at $599.99 off contract - a price worthy of the handset's flagship status. Now, when the smartphone is more than 6 months old, Motorola and Verizon decided it was time to offer it for just $499.99 off contract. More exactly, $499.99 will get you a Droid Turbo 32 GB in black, red, or ballistic nylon (all these are also available for $99.99 on contract). As for the 64 GB version of the Droid Turbo (only available if you want the ballistic nylon model), this costs $549.99 off contract, or $149.99 on contract.

Samsung Galaxy Core Prime is now being updated to Android Lollipop
5/11/2015 11:44:00 AM
Samsung already updated many of its recent smartphones to Android Lollipop, but most of them are high-end or mid-range devices. So we're pleasantly surprised to find out that the low-end Samsung Galaxy Core Prime is now also being updated to Lollipop.
The Lollipop update is currently available for the Galaxy Core Prime (model number SM-G360F) in Poland, and we guess it's going to be released in other regions pretty soon. Earlier this year, Verizon Wireless launched its own variant of the Galaxy Core Prime, and we hope this one will also get Lollipop.
As mentioned above, the Samsung ...
Meizu MX5 renders show another "bezel-less" screen
5/11/2015 11:08:00 AM
Last year, the Meizu MX4 topped the list of high scoring Android handsets that were run through the AnTuTu benchmark test. The average score of 47,765 for the device topped the Nexus 6's average score of 47,079. With the Meizu MX5 expected to launch some time this year, can Meizu's upcoming flagship live up to the achievement of its predecessor?
The Meizu MX5 is expected to feature a metal build with rounded corners. While we haven't seen new renders of the back of the unit, that is where the fingerprint scanner is said to be found. The phone will be driven by the 64-bit true octa-core MediaTek ...
Huawei Mate 8 to feature QHD screen, home grown Kirin 930 chip set and fingerprint scanner?
5/11/2015 10:17:00 AM
According to a recent Huawei roadmap which we passed along to you, the Huawei Mate 8 is expected to be unveiled next month. The latest word on the successor to the popular Huawei Mate 7 is that the new model will feature a similarly high screen-to-body ratio. The Mate 7 weighed in with a 78% ratio last year.
The 6-inch screen on the Mate 8 will get bumped to a 1440 x 2560 resolution, and Huawei will employ the home grown 64-bit Kirin 930 SoC with an octa-core CPU. The 20.7MP rear snapper will use the Sony IMX220 sensor and there will be a fingerprint scanner on the device. The phone will ...
Craving the Japan-only Sony Xperia Z4? Find solace in downloading the official wallpapers
5/11/2015 9:52:00 AM
Unless you reside in the delightful country of Japan, the Sony Xperia Z4 is only a distant dream, a mirage of past greatness, troubled present, and uncertain future. It also seems like a pretty good smartphone, even though it's such a faithful example of evolutionary design, it's as if Sony literally sent an intern to check up on what's considered flagship hardware in 2015, then stuck the spec sheet into last year's phone, and called it a day!

5/11/2015 9:25:00 AM
Did you decide to pick up the LG G4? Well, congratulations, then - it's a really good smartphone! And the second best thing you can get alongside it is a case to protect it against drops, bumps, and scratches. Seriously, handling any phone, especially one as big as the LG G4, can be prone to the aforementioned incidents.

AT&T Trek HD 4G LTE is the carrier's first Android Lollipop tablet
5/11/2015 9:18:00 AM
AT&T today unveiled its first own-branded tablet, the Trek HD 4G LTE. This is an affordable slate that also happens to be AT&T's first to run Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.
As its name suggests, the new AT&T tablet offers LTE connectivity, and an HD screen - an 8-inch one, to be exact. The device weighs 12 ounces (340 grams), and, according to AT&T, it's "a big step forward" for the carrier "in terms of developing affordable products with premium features."
Powered by a 1.6 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, the AT&T Star Trek HD has a 5 MP rear camera, ...
Vivo X5Pro renders leak showing bezel-less design and no glowing logo
5/11/2015 9:15:00 AM
Vivo is a China-based manufacturer, which may not be famous for super-powered flagship handsets, but does stay on track with the competition in terms of design. Last year, the Vivo X5 Max stole the crown for being the thinnest smartphone in the world, as certified by none other but the Guinness World Records.
The manufacturer's upcoming handset is dubbed Vivo X5Pro and rumors state that, while it will not break any records in terms of its thickness, it may just wow us with a 4,150 mAh battery – an impressive juicebox, considering that it will, presumably, not be sticked in a very thick body. ...
Benchmark test reveals specs for the Oppo R7 Plus
5/11/2015 9:01:00 AM
On May 20th, Oppo is expected to unveil the Oppo R7 and Oppo R7 Plus. Last week, we showed you a pair of commercials starring the pair, for the Chinese market. While we have had the opportunity to pass along information on the R7, specs for the larger R7 Plus have been hard to find. That is, until today when a GFXBench benchmark test allowed us to finally get an idea of what the "premium" version of the R7 will have in the way of hardware.
According to GFXBench, the Oppo R7 Plus will be equipped with a 5.9-inch, 1080 x 1920 resolution screen. The 64-bit true octa-core MediaTek MT6795 is ...

Here's how to manage the quick toggles on your Samsung Galaxy S6 or S6 edge
5/11/2015 8:17:00 AM
By now, probably most of you are aware that the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge come with a renovated and toned-down iteration of TouchWiz UI. Indeed, numerous features that have been integral part of Samsung's UI for a long time went down the drain along with the new firmware that graces the flagships. In the meantime, TouchWiz UI became way more intuitive and user-friendly, which stands pretty high in our book.
HydrogenOS coming to China May 28th for OnePlus One
5/11/2015 8:15:00 AM
OnePlus, which released its Lollipop-tinged OxygenOS last month for the OnePlus One, is unveiling a version of the OS for the Chinese market under the name HydrogenOS. OnePlus was forced to create OxygenOS when Cyanogen, which originally powered the OnePlus One, entered into an exclusivity deal in India with Micromax. Originally Micromax pressed the issue and a court temporarily banned the OnePlus One in India. But Micromax recently withdrew the suit after OnePlus and Cyanogen formally ended their partnership.
Cyanogen said last week that it would continue to support the OnePlus One, which ...

5/11/2015 7:13:00 AM
The iPad front has been relatively quiet since the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 launched to a warm reception and a sluggish tablet market. The eventual iPad Pro, however, has been shaping itself into a handsome news topic, as evidence of its existence has been getting more and more substantial. Today, we get to learn that that Apple has been talking to its display suppliers — LG, JDI, and Samsung among others — about mass-producing AgNW-coated touch panels for the iPad Pro's display. AgNW stands for silver nano wire, a material for creating transparent conductive layers from single crystals of silver ...
