LG Optimus G Successor To Rock Qualcomm Snapdragon 800
LG was the first manufacturer to ship a smartphone with the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro last year, the Optimus G. The handset, which eventually turned into the Nexus 4, was easily the best smartphone the company has ever shipped at the time, and it’s just announced a new morsel of information about its Optimus G successor. The upcoming device will ship with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800. Devices like the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S 4 ship with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, which certainly is no slouch, but the 800 … Read more

Verizon discounting the Droid DNA and Incredible 4G LTE to make room for the HTC One
According to Droid-Life, Verizon Wireless is kicking off a fire sale to move its existing inventory of the Droid DNA and the Incredible 4G LTE. The phones are now labeled “close out” and inventory of the two models will not be replenished as units are sold. At this time, no other handset is slated to replace the phones, leaving a wide open gap for the HTC One to fill when it finally arrives on Big Red. Though Verizon has confirmed it will carry the HTC One, it has not set … Read more

Google should acquire Canonical and merge Ubuntu with Android
Ubuntu could easily emerge as a force to reckon with in the mobile industry. Perhaps a stand-alone Ubuntu platform won’t succeed (cause it lacks major backers), but Ubuntu for Android definitely has a chance. Just imagine using your regular Android smartphone as a full-blown Linux computer when you connect it to a bigger screen. Powerful stuff… That said, I would like to see the upcoming Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie shipping with a similar capability. Google is already targeting laptops with its Chrome OS but at one point in the … Read more

Huawei looking to ship 10 million Ascend P6 units
Huawei is bullish on the prospects of its newly announced Ascend P6 smartphone, with plans to ship some 10 million units across Europe, Asia and perhaps Latin America. North Americans will likely have to wait for this phone a little longer because its lack of LTE connectivity support makes it less appealing to the US carriers looking to promote data traffic use on their networks. To reach the “10 million milestone,” the Chinese company has allocated some 90 million Yuan (about $11 million) for P6 marketing in China, and another … Read more

US Cellular’s Moto “XFON” XT1055 caught at the FCC
Motorola did say it plans to make its upcoming XFON available on a number of carriers and in that sense we’ve already heard about few different variants of the device: Verizon will get the XT1060, XT1056 is coming to Sprint, and the XT1058 is heading to AT&T. A new version of the XFON, marked as XT1055, has been caught at the FCC and we tend to believe this one’s destined for US Cellular. Of course, we still have no idea when each of the carriers mentioned above will officially announce … Read more
