HTC First UK Release Delayed Indefinitely
The HTC First really isn’t a bad phone. It’s a totally decent, affordable handset with some nice features. But it’s sold well below expectations, even with the price slashed to $0.99 (with contract). The downfall of the First is Facebook Home, Zuckerberg and Co’s Facebook centric launcher, which comes pre-installed on the device. The rumors of AT&T’s cancellation of the First haven’t proved to be true (yet). But now it looks like the HTC First is hitting another wall, as its UK release has been pushed back with no new … Read more

Samsung Galaxy Win launching in India as Galaxy Grand Quattro
Samsung Galaxy Win is coming to India. However, interested folks won’t be able to buy it under that name; rather the Korean company renamed it to Galaxy Grand Quattro. We’re not sure why the name change was needed but what do we know. Anyway, Samsung suggests MSRP of Rs. 17,290 (about $312) though some retailers are offering it for less – around Rs. 16,000 ($289). Specs wise, the Galaxy Win/Grand Quattro comes with a 4.7-inch WVGA screen, 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 5-megapixel camera on the back, 8GB of internal memory, 2,000mAh … Read more

KDDI’s HTC One variant rocks a microSD memory card slot
So, the Chinese won’t be the only one getting the HTC One variant with a microSD card slot. Japan’s KDDI announced a similar device calling it HTC J One (model number HTL22) that also comes with support for microSD cards (of up to 64GB). Rest of the phone’s hardware is pretty much unchanged though we guess there are some tweaks here in there to accommodate for the ever-demanding Japanese mobile market. For instance, there’s the Infrared port on the HTC J One, since that thing is apparently a nice-to-have feature … Read more

Apple Vs. Samsung: Apple Says Google Now Violates Siri Patents
Apple has been mum about any new product developments over the last few months, but the company is certainly not rolling over to the likes of Samsung in its ongoing patent infringement battle. Interestingly, Apple is now claiming that Samsung is violating Siri patents, via an amendment in its current court case. Apple is claiming that Samsung is infringing on patents 8,086,604 and 6,846,959, which detail a “universal interface for retrieval of information in a computer system,” a.k.a. Siri, by using Google’s Google Now technology in their devices. Apple is also claiming … Read more

LG Announces Optimus GJ – Waterproof Optimus G Coming to Taiwan
Sure, the Kyocera Hydro Edge and XTRM are all fine and dandy, but LG just announced the Optimus GJ. What’s so special about this GJ, you ask? Well, take the already-awesome LG Optimus G – Now make it waterproof. The LG Optimus GJ rocks many of the same specifications you’d find on the existing Optimus G, like a beautiful 4.7 inch display, 1.5GHz quad-core CPU, 2GB RAM, and 13 megapixel camera, just to name a few. Most water-resistant/proof devices have largely been on the low-end of the market. This changed … Read more
