HTC announced a new mid-range device, Desire 600, which promises to offer quite a bang for the buck. Unfortunately, price was not announced (all we have is “affordable price tag”) but we do have the full specs sheet: it will pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM, dual-SIM capability, 8-megapixel rear camera, 1.6-megapixel front-facing one and 8GB of internal storage (no microSD card slot?).

Imagining the BlackBerry Z10′s successor
While I like the new BlackBerry Z10, I found it have a too thick bezel around the display. In fact, at one time I had it home alongside the Sony Xperia T and found Sony’s phone only slightly bigger, despite having a 0.35-inch larger screen (4.55 vs 4.2 inches). That made me wonder – couldn’t RIM made the same device with a bigger screen? When you look at the Z10 you can’t but wonder whether that way-too-thick bezel was needed in the first place. Sure enough, the BlackBerry 10′s gesture … Read more

BlackBerry Q5 video tour
The new BlackBerry Q5 could easily prove as the company’s most popular smartphone, helping the Canadian company reach customer segments which is now served by other vendors. When BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins officially announced the Q5, it failed to share its specs sheet. Later on, we’ve learned that it comes with a slower-than-Q10′s 1.2GHz dual-core processor (most likely also made by Qualcomm), 2GB of RAM, 3.1-inch 720×720 pixels screen, 5MP camera with flash on the back, 2MP front-facing camera and 8GB of internal memory. And while we still don’t know … 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

Here’s some news that should take that bad taste out of Verizon customer’s mouths; the Galaxy S4 is available on Amazon for the low price of $179 with … Read more

Mobiado is out with another luxury device, designed for fans of Aston Martin cars. The new Mobiado One-77 comes in two flavors, one plated in gold and another one in rhodium. It’s easy to guess which of the two is more expensive, but both cost a small fortune, have no doubts about it. In addition, both models have mechanical watches with Swiss mechanical automatic movement. Specs wise, the One-77 is a basic feature phone, likely using one of Nokia’s reference designs.
