HTC talks Ice Cream Sandwich updates – Coming in late March to select handsets
Looks like HTC isn’t wasting any time when it comes to updating its existing line of handsets to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Today on Facebook, HTC announced that the Android 4.0 update rollout would begin in late March, starting with the Sensation line of handsets. We do know that HTC’s new handset flow will begin to wane in 2012 in favor of better quality devices but we don’t know if that also translates to a greater focus on updating the massive amount of different handsets it released last year. … Read more

Samsung Galaxy S III to land in May with 7mm thin profile
While we may not see the Samsung Galaxy S III at Mobile World Congress this year, some more details about the highly anticipated handset have been revealed that may make your geeky mouth water. Or not. With the prospects of a quad-core Galaxy S III, the expectations for the handset are already pretty high. We can also expect something similar to the Galaxy Nexus’ display, which is a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD panel. Now we’re hearing that Samsung’s next flagship phone may come in at a ridiculously thin 7mm thick. … Read more

Samsung officially introduces the AT&T Galaxy Note in Super Bowl ad
Just as promised, Samsung has released its 90 second Galaxy Note ad during the Super Bowl. Following in the lines of its previous ads for the Galaxy S II (with a bit of a twist), this Galaxy Note ad pokes fun at iPhone users waiting in the long lines Apple loves to see outside its stores and shows them what “freedom” feels like. We think. We already got a chance to play with the Galaxy Note at CES this past January and while the idea of a 5.3 inch phone … Read more

Apple climbs past LG to become the world’s #3 phone manufacturer
IDC, a technology research firm, released statistics today on the data it gathered on mobile phone sales in Q4 2011. According to the numbers, Apple is now the third largest phone manufacturer in the world by shipments, surpassing LG. Apple’s record-breaking iPhone sales last quarter skyrocketed the company into an easy third place, claiming 8.7 percent market share. Nokia and Samsung still hold their respective positions as the top phone manufacturers by a long shot. Last quarter, Nokia shipped 113.5 million mobile phones and Samsung shipped 97.6 million. After that, … Read more

HTC Ville leaks – Exactly what you’d expect
We know that HTC has come out and said that it will be making fewer but better handsets in 2012 and one of those handsets has just leaked. That handset would be the HTC Ville, a name we’ve heard quite a few times. The handset is running Android Ice Cream Sandwich with the latest version of the Sense UI and just like previous handsets, you probably won’t be able to notice what version the handset is running on but you may be distracted by its absurdly thin profile. The HTC … Read more

Samsung to debut Galaxy S III during the Super Bowl? Nah, it’s probably the Note [UPDATE]
Samsung sent out a tweet that is both vague and exciting today regarding an upcoming, “revolutionary” device. Said device will be launched in an ad during the Super Bowl this coming Sunday and while we want to say it’s the Galaxy S III, in all likelihood it’s the Galaxy Note. There have been rumors that the Galaxy S III wouldn’t make its debut at Mobile World Congress this year, which could possibly make one believe that the Super Bowl ad could indeed be for the upcoming flagship handset but let’s … Read more

Samsung to start mass producing their Cortex A15 based chips in Q2 2012, destined for tablets this year
During Samsung’s latest financial earnings call we got some news about the Exynos 5250 chip that was announced back in November of last year. For those who need a refresher, it has a dual core ARM Cortex A15 processor that can be clocked at up to 2 GHz, it has an as yet to be announced graphics processor that promises to be 4x faster than the GPU inside the Galaxy S II, and best of all it’s made on a 32 nanometer process so it should run cooler than Samsung’s … Read more

Amazon Wireless offering up the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for only $100
Amazon Wireless is known for some rockin’ deals when it comes to new smartphones but its latest offering is a doozy. You can grab the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for a mere $100 on a new two-year contract with Verizon. The Galaxy Nexus was officially released on Verizon just a little over a month ago, so seeing the powerful handset come in at this price is pretty awesome. Those who craved the Pure Google experience on the handset but weren’t in love with paying up $300 now have their chance to … Read more

Lytro considering bringing its revolutionary photography to smartphones
Executive Chairman of Lytro, Charles Chi, told PCWorld in an interview that the company is considering different ways to bring its light-field camera technology into cell phones. Admittedly, Chi says it’s a bit of a stretch at this point but we could be looking at a future where your smartphone will be able to take photos where you can determine the point of focus afterwards. Cool. “If we were to apply the technology in smartphones, that ecosystem is, of course, very complex, with some very large players there. It’s an industry … Read more

LG X3 to be a 4.7 inch monster phone with NVIDIA Tegra 3
While it’s hard to say that CES 2012 was a dud in the mobile space, we’re patiently awaiting to see what Mobile World Congress will be offering us next month. We’re pretty sure that the Samsung Galaxy S III will be announced already and it looks like LG is packing some heat with the upcoming X3. Yes, this is all rumor for the time being but the render above is enough to get our attention. This beastly device is said to sport a quad-core processor, presumably NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 SoC. … Read more
